France Before Social Revolution
In a despatch from Paris of April 13, the Marquis de Castellane, writing evidently from a loyalist standpoint, declares that the condition of the government is such as to "hasten the decomposition of our social organism." The number of murders is increasing, and the government in general is poorly administered. The whole idea carried is that the times now are similar to the times before the Revolution at the close of the eighteenth century. And that is about the condition of the whole world.
