attacks upon his conduct concerning police and
other matters. and dealing with the accusations
brought against him by the radical organ. the
Lunterne relative to financial transactions
But the Standards correspondent at Paris says the
dismissal of NJ. Ansart has satisfied the radicals. and
they therefore did nterpellate Minister Dc Mar
cere yesterday. M. de Marcere failed to get
friend to give him an opportunity to
make explanation. His lack Of energy
causes much dissatisfaction. The correspondent
predicts that he will not remain in Office week. and

be gazetted tomorrow. 1t alleged that NJ.
Anssrt the head of the Public Safety Department

tanned in his post because he knew too much to
make 1t prudent to dismiss him. The special
spondents of the London papers consider
that NJ de Marcere has much weakened
his position by his long silence. It
has now been decided to dismiss M.
Ansart; while NJ Meyer. M. de Marcere's private
secretary. will temporarily quit Office in order to
prosecute the Ldnterne. which designated him IAN
