says : "In' reading their declaration one
might jbelieve nothing had happened in
France for a long time, whereas only a
week ago the Republic was established."
The; liepabUque Francaise says : "The
Government must rely only upon the sig
nificance of their acts andlthe frankness of
their attitude, as the declaration will be of
no assistance to them."
The Neuvieme SUcle says : ' 'The
Government spoke for wetty minutes

but a simple exposition of the situation, or
a report of Parliamentary! proceedings."
' .The 'Figaro says : , "The' Ministerial
statement is a political testament which
will not prevent the fall ofj the Cabinet.
Thej- Vonstitutionel, G$utoi) and Solid
praise the Government program me.
. The Happen Voltaire, Marsellouse and
Revolution Francam vehemently attack
. the statement, and characterize it as void of
purposefcthe fruit of madness and uses other
like expressions.. The question of minis
terial crisis is discussed every where, an d
the general impression prevails that the
Cabinet can scarcely remain in office after
the unfavorable .reception of their pro
gramme in the Chambers.!
The Steele indeed expresses the opinion
that the Ministry cannot survive more than
twenty -four hours. Tjx souie quarters it
is said the crisis will ensue immediately;
that MacMahon will summon Gambetta,
. and in the event of hia refiusina; to form a
Cabinet MacMahon will , resign, while
on the other hand it is , believed by
some that if Gambetta shall refuse
. to form a Cabinet, MacMahon will re-
, quest Mr. Dufaure to form a new minis.
y. it is puimeu ous nowever in par
liamentary, circles that according to strict
parliamentary rules there can be no other
President of the Council than Gambetta
since he at the present moment practically
, holds the post In ' spite) however, of the
language of the Republican journals and
he generally prevailing impression, there
jis a somewhat strong beliejf in well inform
"ed circles that the ministjry will obtain a
majority in the Chamber (k Deputies after
the debate which begina on Monday.
