In France, the antagonist principles of anarchy and tyranny rear
their heads, fostered by the want of organized government It is not without, but within the National Assembly, that the disorganization is best seen. The Assembly is so unruly., that one President has been (rifted to resign his EMI from •'fteer bo exhaustion in the toil of aging his ball; an& the attiletit Sena who succeeds to the exhainted Bneha, has felt the reirofitibilitiee of office in an achifir ask. M. Cremieux, the Minieter 19f Just, has been obliged to resign, after an indecent squabble with M. Portalis as to the impeachment of M. Louis Blanc ; the two gentlemen being at issue on the facts. The dissensions and ern- barrassments of the Executive Committee give rise to incessant rumours that it will be broken up by resignations, including that of M. de Lamartine. The Government has taken steps towards the forcible prevention of efined Meetings by a law more rigorous than the notorious "dynastic" "law of September." If the National Assembly do not finish up a governMent pretty soon, the task may be taken out of its hands.
