GAMBETrAs opPoRrUNlTy.
The Presidents threat OF dissolution has simply
placed Gambetta in position Of commanding an
tagonism. In case MacMahon should attempt to
carry out this dissolution theory France would
probably declare in favor OF Gambetta, leav-
ing the President open to unfavorable critl-
cism. 1t was in this view OF the
situation that the bureaux OF the Left decided to
propose an order OF the day. declaring that the
Chamber was solicitous for the maintenance OF
peace abroad aud order at home out the Cabinet
under the Duke de Broglie possessed neither the
confidence Of the Chamber nor of the nation.

The Cabinet which had not lost its majority has
been dismissed without discussion. The new Min
istry, feeling that II they allowed the Parliament
freedom OF speech they would Immediately fall
from power, have prevented our expressing repro
baton of their proceedings from the tribune; con-
sequenty our first thought Is to turn toward you
and say that the men now again assuming power
will again prove themselves powcriess.
France desires the Republic. She said on the
10th OF February, 1875, and she VIII say again
when consulted. The nation Will more show
that an inc0rrgible minority shall not snatch from

ing this painful and unexpected trial France will
neither allow herself 70 be deceived nor intimdatcd
Public tunctionares must remain ut their posts
until removed by the government. Councillors
general and commercial councillors must redouble
their zeal and activity behalf OF the rights and
liberties OF the nation.
Finally we. your delegates, shall again enter into
direct communication with yoa. We summon you
to pronounce between the policy of reaction and
adventure, placing everything In doubt which has
been laborousy achieved during the last six years,
and the wse firm ana pacific policy which you
yourselves sanctioned.
