ana tho moderate liberals will probably combine with
the advanced liberals In Fridays debate ask for
dedne explanation OF the present extraordinary state
Of things. Is foIt that tho Cabinet is a less uniform
body than il desirable and Parliament might as
well DO vouchsafed some communication respecting
the Intentions OF tho Premier. There be little
doubt that Prince Bismarck is dissatisfied with tho
free ,rade aud direct taxation policy pursued by two
OF his colleagues aud that he thinks the Ministry Of
Commerce might have done something to shorten the
unparalleled duration of stagnation OF trade.

"rhe right wing OF tho moderate liberals, though
they have cordially co-opcratcd with the existing

These see IN such declarations as the Moniteurs

M'MAnoSs PROBABLE COURSE
Tho Constitutional states that the Ministry will re
sign the refusal OF the Chamber to vote the four

President will then form a "conciliation" Ministry,
with ~ Duiaurs at It's head. But II this Cabinet Is
defeated by the republicans then the President
