FROM FRANCE.
The Cause Of Governments Victories.

PARIS, January II. Governments vic
tories are due primarily to general movement
of sound public opinion. Moderate journal,
of Paris and the provinces have vigorousl,
declared in favor of the cabinet.
The Temps, Journal DcsDebats, Steele
National and other journals ably defended
the minority. Moderate republicans were in
duced to seek platform of Cancellation with
the left centre who felt that an attack was di-
rectcd against themselves and their policy
while the cabinet to avoid inspiritng its
friends (the republic and liberty accepted
the necessity of depriving its adversaries OF
the plea about the change of functionares,
which served rs a pretext for other designs
by those of the left who were resolved to
overturn the cabinet.
The vote is serious blow to Gambetta's
prestige. Victory of the ministry is ascribed
in republican circles to forbearance of Gam
BETA, and there can be no doubt it is true t.
q great extent.
If Gambetta had gone into the House and
delivered with all his fancied eloquence an
application of the ccst perdue, the article
which appeared in the Republique Francois
Monday, (every word of which he dictated.
no doubt the vote would have been very diff:
ferent; but as he has made series of on.
slaughts ON the government, and as no later
than this morning his friends predicted the
downfall Of the minority, he has unquestiona
bly, courted the defeat which has overtaker
him. Had he been prepared to accept the
presidency of the council, and undertaken the
formation of II cabinet, Dufaure's ministry
would not have obtained vote of confidence
as the result of the debate, but if he would
not take the offer, there was no reason fol
upsetting Dufaure.
