notoriety would have caused me to expect.
Several measures of q conservative charac-

you. With one Of your acts was par
ticularly struck. With another member Of
the Government, whose name l need not
recall, you refused all pecuniary allowance
for your participation in the direction Of
public affairs. But have since learnt that
after that public refusal-for it was made
in full cOuncil-yoa went secretly and de-

opinion of your character. l do not re-

absolutely refuse to admit that the reason
for doing SO was, as you say, the negotia-
ton for an armistice which NJ. Theirs was
at that time carrying on at Versailles. You
knew, as we all knew, that the idea of that
armistice came from without; that when it
was brought before the Government they
deliberated upon it, and that it was unapi
mously agreed--you being present-upon
an uitimatum which was an armistice, with
the revictnalling of Paris, elections in all
the departments, and the convocation of q
National Assembly. These deliberations,
which were anterior to the 3lst of October,
did not induce you to retire. Indeed your
letter of resignation, which was read in
council on the lst of November, stated
purely and simply that, in consequence of
the events that had occurred, you could not
follow the Government IN the course upon
which it had entered. Now, that course
was struggle with the demagogy, the or,

but will merely observe that "that canker.
worm, the priest, not satisfied with DESC
lating great part Of the Continent of Eu-
rope has fastened upon and is eating away
one OF the fairest countries Of Ithe United
Kingdom" This is merely fresh exem-
! plification of the Garibaldian tactics which
we have seen in practice in the East of
France, where the mot d'ordre was-1atter

are Catholics. But the main part of the
letter consists of an apology for the Inter-
national. Its merits, according to General
Garibaldi are, first, that it's name implies
universal fraternity; secondly, that it will
have no priests; thirdly, that it replaces
standing armies by citizens militias and
fourthly, that it aims at the government of
the Commune. 1t is one of the chief glo-
ries of Paris that it announced it's metro

that Governments would of themselves
take the initiative in promoting whichever

"the abolition of war, of standing armies,
of priests, of privileges." Most people in
France, as well as elsewhere, have BY this
time formed their own opinion of G aribaldi,
but if anything further was required to
place him in his true light, here it is.

Czech language has particularly riIed the
Germans. All the Czechs, they say, know
German but Germans have never thought
it necessary to learn Czech, and it is intol-
cradle in their eyes that all proclamations
and legal notices should have to be made
in both languages, and that the President
of the Bohemian Diet should be required to
