The Repablcan party is IN nowlse responsible for
that since September their party has represented
the aspirations and genius of France. 1t is not
true that the French nation has this terrible con-

desperate gambler, but the bloody game of battle
may turn against him.
NJ. Louis Blanc concludes, 'If the English people

From reports in the public journals it appears
that the delegation of the French government at
