Minister to Deputy met with no rebuke; but fancy
an English minister addressing Mr.. Bright or Mr..

Der. NJ Schneider had then declared the third in
cident" closed. But the worst was TO come. NJ dc
Cholseu declared that the majority did not represent
the country and in five minutes there was an angry
tempest in the Chamber. NJ Olivier insisted that
the majority did represent the country, and that
dissolution was not to be feared; though the Govern
ment would not agree TO il. NJ Jules Fayre, rising
to speak, was grossly insulted by Olvier-not per-
sonally but politically "As to the dissolution he
began, Il understand very well how those whose
politics consist in disturbing the progress of affairs
and troubling the security of the cOuntry"-but In
spite of the usual applause from the Center and from
the Right, Jules Favre broke in Il protest against
these words they nothing but an old vermont
calumnyp NJ. Olivier tried to speak, but he could
not, for the protest that came from the Left calling
him to order, from NJ. de Choiseul, from Baron
Fora de BulaCh, who reprOached HIM with his words
But, finally NJ. Olivier got his wind and in long
roundabout of words endeavOred to prove that he
had been entirely misunderstood, and that he had
spoken in a wholly Pickwickan sense. 1t is well to
notice that the conservative journals have at last be-
gun to perceive that the country will hardly be saved

him that Pitt whom he likes much to think himself
somuch like, would never have been what he was un-
less he had been something beside orator. On
this occasion, however, NJ. Olivier found that the
tempest he had raised was not to he put down by
pouring his accustomed oil it, and NJ Jules Favre
efIectually silenced him in a few sharp, vigorous
words. He denied the assumption of the Ministers,
that they are alone privileged to defend the
true principles of order he declared that every cti-
zen had the right to think to say aloud TO write and
to print that the Corps Legslatif does not represent
the majority of the country, and that when the MIN
lister of Justice undertakes to deny this right and
appeals to the Chamber to support him in his denial
he deceives himself for there is another Judge above
him, and above the whole Chamber-the public con-
science-tO whom the appeal must be made. Finally,
he declared that the present Chamber, having been
elected under the old state of things under personal
government bad its roots in the very system which
it was now called upon TO change! merely give
Won the head of his argument; the speech was not
long but there could be answer made 10 it. And,
indeed there seems to be bnt opinion now rs to
the necessity for the dissolution Parties are only
i'm doubt as TO when it ought TO be done.
The Tuileries household seems 10 have recovered
from its recent epidemic. The Empress seems to
have been quite ILL., but she is about again, and
only suffering under the pain OF not being able 10 de-
eide what play the Court players shall enact before
the Duke Albert on his long deferred dlnner-pariy

actors is waiting anxiously, say the Court journals,

illustrious lady knows it herself The Emperor was
out skating yesterday and as for the Prince nothing
is said about him, which argues that he is well
enough, / suppose.
1t there balls at the Tnileries, there are in
other high places; at the Hotel de VILE for instance,
where 200 persons were entertained last night The
new Project of the Seine NJ. Henri de Chevreau, and
his wife doing the honors and the city paying the lit
tie bill of 10000 francs the allotted for each of
the four official balls given during the Winter at the
Hotel de Vile, The Ministers, too are all giving
balls in succession the State paying the whole eX-
pense and everybody seeing through the States lit
tie game, to keep trade brisk, and rally the shop
keepers to the sacred support of liberty and order
Meanwhile public meetings are suppressed, journal
lists imprisoned deputies who stood for liberty are
insulted and the little newspaper, La Nisfre. which
ventuTed to pose the poverty and wTetchedness OF
the populace outside the show districts OF the CITY,
has been quickly suppressed. Nive la Humbng!
