HIS EXPULSION FROM BELGIUM
Debate on the Subject in the Belgian Chamber
Of representatives, Majority in Favor
Of the Government = Victor Hugo
Called an Intellectual Malefactor.
TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

BRUSSELS, May 81, 1871
The Belgian government has ordered M. Victor
Hugo to hasten his departure from Belgium. In the
event OF Noncompliance he was threatened with
Imprisonment ana extradition to the French gov
ernment. M. Hugo protested against what he called
the tyrannical action OF the Belgian Ministry, and
left Brussels to-day for Holland, whence he will
probably embark for England.
In the Belgian Chamber or Representatives several
liberal members condemned the illegal proceedings
OF the government with regard to M. Victor Hugo.
One speaker said M. Hugo was political refugee,
and therefore entitled to remain in Belgium long
as he did not violate the laws OF the country. He
alluded to M. Hugos grand achievements In the
field OF literature and his services to humanity and
proposed resolution OF regret for the expulsion OF
Victor Hugo The motion was supported by
several members and very exciting de-
bate ensued upon this question. The Minister
for Foreign Affairs, In his speech, said that
he considered the offence OF M. Hugo and OF the
other Commu nists TO be OF criminal not political
nature. He une MINISTRY wanted TO prevent the
spread OF those pernicious theories. He condemned
the completely of intellectual malefactors with the
crimes OF the Commune.

THE NEW MINISTER'S.


We give below brief sketches OF the two new
members OF the French Ministry appointed by NJ.
Theirs to succeed NJ. Picard and General Leno.
m. Victor Lefranc, Minister Of the Interior.
NJ. Leranc, who has succeeded M. Picard as
Minister OF the Interior born at Garsin, in the
Bases Pyrenees, on the 20 Of March, 1909. He re-
ceived good cducatiOn but was not prominent in
politics until after the revolution or 1S48, when he
was elected to the Constituent Assembly, avowedly
representative OF the party OF order but really
as supporter OF the restoration Of monarchy. He
supported Louis Napoleon against the reds until the
real designs of the President became apparent,
when he at once went into opposition. At the time
OF the dispersion OF the Assembly, when number
Of the Representatives met at the Mayoraty OF the
Tenth ACCOMPLISHMENT and decreed the deposition
OF Napoleon, NJ Lefranc was not present. After
their arrest, however, he, with M. Bixo. went to
Mazas Prison voluntarily and enrolled himself a
prisoner. He was soon released. however, when he
went into retirement from which he did not emerge
until after the overthrow OF the empire last Sep
TENDER. M. Lefranc is probably an Orleanist, but
OF that there is no certainty. He is said to be Z
man ability but to be lacking trmness and de-
cislon Of character.
General COurt0t de Cissey, Minister of War.
Probably the most extraordinary appointment ever
made by M. Theirs is that OF General Cssey MIN
lister OF War TO succeed General Leno named Min.
lister to Russia. Leho is of the most pronounced
of antl-Bonapartists; Cissey is, lsast was, a
warm adherent of the Napoleonic dynasty. He is u
in the prime of life, and was born in Northern
France. He studied at the Ecole Mitare, and after
graduating, was commissioned SOUS lieutenant and
sent to Africa, where, In the endless wars with the
Arabs, he won reputation and promotion. During
the Crimean war he served with credit, as also
during the war in Italy, winning the rank
OF brigadier general and subsequently that
of general OF division For three or four years pre-
vous to the outbreak OF the war OF 1870 he was in
command or OF the m ilitary divisions of France
the last being the Sixteenth division, with head
quarters at Rennes. No greater proof can be found
of his Napoleonc sentiments than the just stated
On the declaration OF hostitles his division, with
the Fifth CORPS to which 1t belonged, was sent to
Metz, and General Cssey participated in all the bat
ties at and around that city. He surrendered with
Bazaine and remained In Germany on parole, when
he returned to France The conspicuous part he
took in suppressing the Commune rebellion In Paris
Is too recent to need recapituatlon. Unless the
sentiments OF General Cissey have changed since
September last he still Bonapartist and with his
appointment as Minister OF War the entire military
government OF France has been placed in the hands
OF the adherents OF Napoleon.

and the premium on gold from either going up
or down very far; but he has no idea of a bold
and comprehensive financial policy in what he
does. If he would use the enormous amount
of gold on hand in buying up the debt he
would soon have a surplus again; and this
gold difused in the channels of trade and
throughout the country would go far to bring
us to specie basis. The Secretary has but
one idea, and we fear all the efforts to put any
other in his head will prove unavailing.
