There will be a real struggle yet over Revision in
France. The Royalists have, through the Marquis de Breteuil, who made a speech at Marseilles on Saturday in that sense, openly recognised the necessity of supporting General Boulanger pro fem.; and the Bonapartists have already, through M. de Cassagna,c, accepted that view. The Extremists also vote with him as against the Government; and the three parties, aided by some moderate and some treacherous Republicans, may be able to compel unlimited Revision. The very Com- mittee in which M. Floquet trusts is growing revolutionary. On Friday week, it voted by six to five that the new Constitu- tion should be submitted to a p/ebiscite—suppose the answer is "No," Messieurs P—and on Wednesday for the total aboli- tion of the Senate and the Presidency. This last vote was only carried by five to three; but the remaining three deliberately abstained. It looks very much as if French politicians had lost their foothold, and were drifting to sea on a swelling flood.
