YHE ACTORS IN THE SOENn'-1NV' t'

 srhe oreat ability of the men who are now eoncerned in the French revolution, gives ssropr assurance that they will go through with the work they have commenced so fear Iessly.

 Our readers must have noticed that Gen. eFal GERARD commands the National Guards under La Fayetfe. He is a Count by rank, and an officer of great reputation. In his ear ly campaigns he was the aid of Bernadotte, now king of Sweden. In l8O6 or he was made commander of the Legion of Honor and headed the French Staff in Denmark. He ] distinguished himself at Urpar, and at Wag- ram at the head of the Saxon cavalry. His conduct in the Russian campaign led NapOle- on to make him General of Division. At Frankfort, on the Oder, he had brilliant af- i fair with some Russian cavalry, and in 1914 I captured 5000 Austriaus at Montereau, tn the | department of Seine and Marne. Napoleon called it "an heroic actiOn.'' On this occa- sion the Duke of BeIluno's command was giv- en to the Count Gerard.

 After the restoration of Louis he was hon. ored with an important mission to Hamburg, and rece,ved distinguished marks of kindness from the King. When the reign of the hun adred days commenced, Gerard was again in active service for his old master, as General in Chief of the army of Moselle, and in that character he took the village of Ligny, and defeated the veteran Butcher. The village of Ligny is situated,> as our readers perhaps know, near Fleurus in the Netherlands, and from this the battle changed ground to the fa- tal field of Wate, loo. It was at Ligny that RIucher was rode over by corps of French cavalry in charge and escaped without inju- rv. Had he been killed, the Prussians would never have shown their faces at Waterloo.

 Gerard, by change of position, became a mart of Marshal GrOuchy force, and man9u- vred with it, though not without receiving a xcyere wound. Since the fall of Napoleon he has not been employed in any public capaci- ty until the present time. It was predicted of him by his then master, that he was destined to rise to great distinction. and the prediction seems about to be realized. At all e, ents, we may expect from him in his military career a combination of great skill and undaunted bravery. His well known character gives pledge that he at least will acquit himself well in this eventlul struggle.

 DUPONT DE EL'EURE-Minister L. of Justice.

 We have already noticed that the Count Gerard is fully competent to the duties as- signed him by the provisional government of France. As minister of Justice, De L'Eure is fully capable of discharging the important duties of its administration. He is native of Normandy, and is about fifty seven years of age. He was bred to the law, and has filed in his time very impol tant situations in Nor mandy as a judicial character. So remarka- ble is his love of truth and justice, that he has long since been known as the French Aristi- des.

 In 1918 he took his seat as a member of the French senate, and was noted for his good sense and learning. In 1914 and '15, the restoration of the BourbOns, he has been frequently member of the chamber of dep uties, and has pursued course which has never exactly pleased either the violent advo- cates of liberal or ultra opinions.

 When the ministers have been right, and have acted constitutonally, he has gone with then,a He is represented as being distin- guished for his hatred of oppression. Lat r terly, he has been out of favor with the court, and it is stated that he was deprived of an inn portant office, without any reasons whatever being given for his removal. He enjoys in an eminent degree the confidence of the virtuous and the liberal minded.

 The administration of justice is on the fol- lowing basis;

 The Chancellor of France is the head of all the courts of justice.

 The court of Cessation is the court of ap- peai for the kingdom, and can reverse the de- eisiOn of any other court. Besides possess. ing the power of removing the judges, it may petition and advise the King on existing legal defects.

 This court has civil and criminal side, and the section devoted to the latter sits all the year round.

 The royal court of Paris, is a subordinate court having three civil chambers, one for ap- | peals from police, and another for finding in. dictments.

 There are tribunals for settling commercial diGicnlties, and for exchequer business, an of flee for giving legal advice to the poor gratis, and to each Grrondiseusent, justice of the peace.

 Over these departments Mons. Dupont De L'Eure at present presides.
