SUPPOSED DIFFICULTIES OF A RESTORATION

SUPPOSED DIFFICULTIES OF A RESTORATION
IN FRANCE.
After the constantly repeated assertions
BILE in France, it is curious to see how gem
orally it Is now accented as certainty by
the English press that such q restoration |
will take place within the next few months.
The Times, however, foresees two difficult
ties. To one of these we have already
alluded, and the other is, in the opinion Of
the Times, likely to be quite fatal to the
permanence of the new rigime. The lesser
difficulty is this. How is the constitution
to be settled between the Monarch and the
Assembly as each Of these powers are
likely, it thinks, to Insist on the initiative,
and there can be no one to act as be-
tween this time, and make reservations, as
the Comte d'Artois did in 1914. Now in
the first place, if such transition as would
be supplied by q Lieutenant General OF
the Kingdom was thought desirable now
there could be no serious difficulty in find
ing some one to fill the post; one Of the
Orleans Princes, or Marshal MacMahon
| him self would serve tho purpose perfectly.
But we do not see that even this would be
| necessary. Asthere would certainly be little
difference of opinion between the Monarch
and the majority of the Assembly as re-
CARDS the main outlines of the future Con.
| st,tution the Assembly would merely have
to vote it in the form of an address to the
Crown, to which the assent of the Soyer-
eign would give the force OF law. rms
legislation, and by such course all rights,
royal or parliamentary, would be saved,
and lesser details wight be made the sub
ject of subsequent legislation. The AS
sembly would thus with the consent OF the
Sovereign deliberate upon the project to
DO presented for the Royal sanction, while
it would be from the sanction that the Con
situation would derive its validity. To
the two Chambers which would undoub ted-
, " be created by such an act might be left
the discussion of all further arrangements
, which might be necessary. But the other
difficulty, which the Times believes to be
: fatal, lie that "it is hard to see how the
Comte dc Chambord can become Consti-
tutIonal King. That part belonged to
another Pretender." Why man should
l have the character or despot 1orceo upon
! him against his will and in the face of his
: repeated disclaimers, we do not quite un'
o derstapd. But we understand still lest
y yshy O sovereign who represents the here
!, ditary principle should be thereby incapa
y citated from being constitutional mon
b tional enough. And as even Charles X.
@ in his unfortunate adherence to an lmpru
Y dent Ministry, only did very much wha
l. Louis Philippe did afterwards with eqnall
t fatal results, we fail to see that the Hous
