The Due Deeazes has resigned, declining absolutely to associate himself
with further resistance to the will of the nation ; and it is believed that the entire Ministry will follow him, on November 6th,—that is, when the elections for the Consells- G4n6raux are completed. This has, indeed, been affirmed in a semi-official communique sent to all the provincial papers. What will follow this resignation is not known, the Mar- shal's counsels changing from day to day. It is believed, however, that he will try the experiment of a colourless Ministry, which will, of course, fail, as the majority will vote it out of power. It is still possible that the Marshal may resign as soon as the Chamber meets, and possible also, as we have tried to point out elsewhere, that he may resort to the desperate but legal step of demanding an immediate revision of the Constitution. He would thus avoid a voluntary abandonment of the officials who have broken the law in order to serve him.
