Some at least of this energy is directed against the
Monarchists, who have all the week been trying to arrange another fusion on a basis explained elsewhere. By the last accounts they would appear to have failed. All manner of manifestoes have been signed, but are not to be published, the Orleanists affirming that .the Legitimists are still for the White Flag, and the Legitimists retorting that their rivals are revolutionists. Neither the Comte de Chambord nor the Princes have spoken out, while M. Thiers has, it is believed, declared that he will maintain the Provisorium against everybody, has reproached the majority with conspiracy, and has informed General Cissey that he must resign. At least, that is how we understand the bulletins announcing General Gissey's illness and intention to resign. Without a friendly Minister of War, the majority will hardly venture on a coup d'etat. They will dread Paris too much.
