The French President is worried by his own creatures, as
Actaeon was by his dogs, though as yet with no appearance of conse- quences quite so fatal. One week he is teazed by his journalists ; the next by the insubordination of his House of Representatives, in its virtual rejection of his sumptuary laws. In all this there is more of annoyance than immediate danger for the Government of the 2d December. The prevailing political apathy in France insures it against any serious assault. The menaces to the corre- spondents of English journals wear to have been uttered in the wanton arrogance of conscious power, not in fear.
