For the same rea- gon, @ gr<at general is seidom praised for svidierly ooureg: poleom was probably as fearless as Mosat, but bis enlogiets bave no leisure to dwell oa the meze hardibood of so consummate a commander. Eapartero, who is himself remarkable for bravery ia the fle d, is upright and well meaning in oouncil, but bitb:rto he has unfortunate!y given little prouf of morai courage or of forerigit. Tha 'eaders of the la‘e movexent ought to have uaderstood that, after they bad attained their suo stautis! object, there was no need of a sabsequeat foemsl r:volution.

The error Ministry consists in their revolutionary comceseion of a constituent assembly. aad generals who have uodertaken to seize su- wer ferthe benefit of the country, have to abdicate the responsibility of sub- @ government for that which they have overthrown. The question between a mo- and a republic is ove on whioh every men claiming to be a politival leader ought to have definitively made op his mind. toria bas declared his own adhesion to the dy aaaty which he lopg since helped to eatabiish ; and it would be a worse than avomalous proceed- ing to make the crown virtnally cleotive by asking assembly to confirm or reject tie sovereign who, at this moment, nominally reigas.

Bat when the leader of a revolutionary movement is too modest to uffer suggestions to the Assembly vhich he calls together, it would be useless to show taat he misurderstands the meaning even of his own miserable scruples.
