were interesting and important. ID
tho Corps Loglslatif, Theirs, in :
long speech, pronounced against tho
declaration Of the government. He
found, after all was said, that France
had received satisfaction from Prus-
sia, and war should not be made on
her for mere formality.
Prime Minister oliver responded
to Theirs. Ho said it was impossible
for the government to do otherwise
than it had done.
Theirs again took the floor. He
recalled Mexico and Sadowa, and
said the government had made a
new blunder. The majority inter.
rupted the speaker, but he proceeded
amidst the greatest agitation.
When silence was restored, Gam
BETA demanded that all corresponds
ence had with Prussia be laid before
the Corps Legislatif.
Jules Favre seconded the motion
in speech, asserting that France
could not make war on the authority
of telegraphic dispatches.
The Minister Of Foreign Affairs
| replied that it was necessary to
make war, and do go Immediately,
in order to give Prussia no time to
arm. If any other course was pur-
| sued, he could no longer remain in
the Ministry.
The question was then put to q
vote and the demand for correspond
ence was rejected by 164 against "a.
