6/23 For the first time the Assembly seemed only to have one heart and one voice. Each at length said what he thought of the man of the Elysee, and it was then seen that for a long time past Louis Bonaparte had imperceptibly created a profound unanimity in the Assembly--the unanimity of contempt. He came from the Ministry of the Interior. He had seen M.de Morny, he had spoken to him; and he, M.Collas, was incensed beyond measure at M.Bonaparte's crime. Since then, that Crime has made him Councillor of State. |
