majority of the papers are of the opinion
that the ministerial statement published yesterday
made favorable impression, and believe il viii he wen
received by the public.

approves OF the document but regrets that il Is mex
pc in respects 1t perccves therein the traces OF
reaconary tendency; neverthecssit IA content 20 wait
and jud &c the Ministry by its acts.
The Temps, in reviewing the recent ministerial state
ment says the Government has acquired the support OF
very large Republican majority through its excellent
tone and undcniably good intentions.
The Bteh IUbc says the Moderate Left and the Left
Center have decided to unreseryedy support the MN
htry ltit acts in accordance with the statements.
