GAMBETTA AS PREMIER.
HOME VIEWS OF HIS GOVERNMENT.


pressed TO you in a previous letter my opinion oil
the majority, and conveyed to you my lmpreS5oh
that il was not a solid one. Gambetta now finds
that if he does not give the Chambers vacation
extending into the middle of January, his Govern
uept will not live through the year. All MS
strategic talents will he employed to obtain subS-
dies. without which he cannot take up tho Tunslan
running of the Ferry Cabinet and to get hHSeH
interpellated on his general policy. Were this done
he would adjourn the Chamber until January. 10
that the Interpolation may not appear comedy u
should be made by Deputy of the Opposition
secretly favorable TO him. Gambetia and MS
friends had intended to put forward NJ. Edouard
Lockrov. the step-father Of Victor llugos grand
Children os an ipterpelator The Head of The
Cabinet went to the trouble of paying an evening
visit 10 the aged poet and so also did the ne" Art
Minister. Antonin Proust, in order to secure tHe
GOOD Offices Of Lockroy Both were so cordially
received that IL was thought the Depaty in qucs-
tion would comply with the desire of the Premiei'
rcport that Locl,roy was going to intcrpellatc the
Government was Published in all the Ministerial
orrans the day before yesterday. But yesterday
morning a communication appeared in the Rdppd
from Lockroy in which he said that he did not in
tend. and never had intended, 10 question Gam
bctta in the Chamber on his general policy.
CT menceau. on the day which Gambctta read
the Ministerial Declaration in the Lower House and
Cazot in the Senate, obtained, on division on
oucstisn of urgency. 100 votes. THIS was an event
of startling Importance. Gre,y said IN the course
OF he same evening: Gambetta is now completely
nj the mercy of the Centre and the Right: and he
has imprudently offended them by giving VI. Paul
Bert the Portfolio of Public Instruction as well as
that of Public Worship. Whenever they choose to
tnrn him out they can do 80 with Clencnceaus
assistance. Gambctta has too much appealed TO
greed and to ambition not TO be devoured by those
whom It is materially impossible for hun to satisfy
Greyy was asked by Gambetta when he had failed
TO recruit for his Ministry NM de Frcycnet, Jules
Ferry and Leon Say to use his influence to draw
them into it, This he declined to no. He said he
was determined to have 10 part in the formation OF
a new Administration beyond giving cartc-6idHche
TO the president of tlie Chamber. AnT appoint
ment ne made VI. Grcvy would cuunierSign without
even hazarding a verbal objection. He had made
up his mind TO follow this course and would not
DETECT from it, W. Gambettas responsibilities
would not be shared by the President Of the he
public II was then that the great orator thought
of cevating to the executive junction the stan Of
the EcUubIigue FraEcdise. Allan large was asked
to be Minister Of Finance; Spuller TO be Under
Secretary Ct state for Foreign Affairs; Paul Bert
