"rhe ministerial statement has genera
ly produced an untavonble impression
even the moderate journals discussing
with reservation"
The Journal des Debah expressed regre
that the government did not employ morO
animated and cordial language, 1t says
''In reading, their declaration one nigh
believe that nothing had happened ii
France for long time, whereas only I
week ago the republic was established"
The Republic Franeaise says; "The gov
ernment must rely upon the signifcanc,
OF their acts and the frankness OF their at
titude, as the declaration will be OF no as
sistanCe to them"
The Dir Neapieme Sieele says: 1.-THE gov
ernment spoke for twenty minutes with.
out pronouncing q single word that they
have spoken. The language OF the minis
try Is not o new programme, but a simple
exposition OF the situation or report Of
parliamentary proceedings"
The Figaro says: "The ministerial state,
ment is q political testament which will
not prevent the fall Of the Cabinet"
The Constitutional, GGulois and SoIiel praise
the government programme The Rappel
pollGire, MarSeilidise and RerOlution Fran
ciaise vehemently attack the statement
and characterize 1t as void OF purposes
the fruit OF madness, and other like ex.
pressions.
The question OF the ministerial crisis il
discussed everywhere, and the general i'm.
preston prevails that the Cabinet can
scarcely remain In Office after the unfayor
able reception Of their programme in the
Chambers.
The Steele, indeed, expresses the opinion
that the ministry cannot survive more
than twenty-four hours. In some quar-.
ters it is said that crisis will ensue i'm
mediately; that President MacATahon will
summon NJ. Gambetta, and in the event
OF his refusing to form q cabinet President
MaCAIahon will resign. On the other
hand, It is believed BY some that Il NJ.
Gam6etta should refuse to form cabinet
President MacMahon will not resign, but
will request N. Dufaure to form new
ministry. 1t is pointed out, however, in
parliamentary circles that according to
strict parliamentary rule there can be no
other president of the Council than NJ.
Gambetta, since he at the present moment
practically holds the post. In spite, how.
ever, of tho language Of the Republicans
and the generally prevailing impression,

The Paris correspondent Of the Standard
telegraphs as follows: "Although the pre-
vailing opinion Is that the days OF the Du-
faure Cabinet are numbered, I still retain
strong impression that the storm will
blow over. 1t is reported that NJ. Gam.

The correspondent Of the TTms says
the silence with which the ministerial

from the statement was the promise OF dis.
