liberty Of action; and by the time Il
Gam bettists had eaten their breakfas
they learned that they bad ove.shot Il
mark. and that, instead of forcing Marsh,
MaeMahon to accept their revoiutionar
programme, they bad driven him to dii
miss from his councils the man on whol
they most relied, and in all probability
surround himeelf with men whom the
could neither Brighten nor purchaee.
Inc excitement among all the mem beT
OF the Asse mbly wac very great as the ne "
spread; and a meeting of the Gambet
was called for the came evening, at whic
| q line of action was laid down. One of tn
first things to be done, it was agreed, wa
TO use the machinery at their disposal ssi
order properly to inspire foreign publ
opinion," go that it might react aDo,
France; apd during the night "the Repab
lcan leaders cent to foreign journals in
structions to iueert opinions upon to,
crisis which would have the effect o
alarming the marshal by holding up beHor,
him the threat of the displeas ure of Ger
many and Italy. The London journal,
were especially inspired ia this sense; and
lS was thus that our own Journals, re echo
Ing this echo OF the Gam BETA caucus, gave
their readers the idea that Marshal Mac
Mahon had dismissed his cabinet in order
to destroy the republic and to engage al
once in war with Italy for the re stOration
of the temporal sovereignty of the Pope.
The session of the Chamber of Deputies on
the 18th was excited; and NJ. Gambetta
once more demonstrated the fooIishness of
those who, deceived by his affected moder-
alton and calmness during the last two
years, bad believed that this .fow .farieur
had become decent and practical states
man. he moved the resolution which had
been adopted at the caucus the proceeding
night, and supported it in a speech full OF
fire and venom. The resolution, which the
cnam Der adopted by a vote of 1856 against
against l54, simply declared that ''the con-
ndence of the maj 'rity can only be enjoyed
by cabinet which is free in it's action and
resolved to govern in accordance with re-
publican principles, which can alone secure
order and prosperity at home and abroad"
with which 10 enc can find fault.
Bot Nj. Gambetta, giving full vent to his
rage at tinding himself foiled at the very
moment when he was dreaming of victory,
declared that the dismissal Of NJ. Simon
bad been brought about by the intrigaes of
"a secret Influence with " hich no ministry
,onld cope"
1t is not true," he cried, " Mat the Presi-
lent of the republic bears responsibility over
md above that of the ministry. We must re-
all him to an exact observance of the cousti-
utiop, and deliver hin from perfidious couu-
els The country wishes to be rid of the
zig htmare of those men of reaction who show
heir livid faces at all momen 8 of uncertainty.
I the Chambers are dissolved we have no fear
# the result, but the country may see in it pre-
ode TO war. Criminals are those who would
revoke it,"
No one thinks of provoking war save NJ.
Fam BETA and his friends, and they are the
My criminals. Marshal MacM&hol was
OF at all dismayed by this loud talk on

1s and respectable one as long as it
mains in office the country may be GER
IN, at least, that order will BE main .aiusd
Id that the plots of the Reds will be frus-
ated. During the morning of the 18Th
10 Gambettists were very busy in prepar-
g to give battle to the new cabinet. But
ey found themselves again disconnected I
: the firmness of the President, who, ex-
essage to both houses, adjourning their
esion until the l65h of June. In this
eesage Marshal MacMahon explains that
has scrupulovsly coaformed to the con-
tuition. He appointed the cabinets of
Dufaure and of NJ. Simon with the OBJ
It OF placing himself in accord with the .
ijority in the Chamber but neither of
sse cabinets we're able to unite in the a
amber a majority capable of causing
nstitational and proper ideas to prevail.
