while the other officials of Carnot's

Versailles presented curious specta-

Paris seemed to take refuge
around the legal government.
Today, indeed. no feeling of terror ex-
listed. Carnot's tragical death toned
down the most fervid minds and the
most rabid Radicals felt that they would
be playing game of reaction if they
failed to behave themselves.
The correspondence concluded: 1--WE
must expect some restlessness at the
outset of the regime. The defeated
party will hsrrass the victor and the
parliamentary schism may involve con-
stant agitation. If NJ. Dupuy retires, as
it seems certain he will do, he will soon
