fore which M.Delyannis refused to bow.On May 7 the representatives of the four powers left Athens. )M. de Frey-cinet, instead of, at least, lea^iug M. de Mouy there, requested him tocome and confer with him, while Europe, in defiance of her word andher obligations, established a blockade on the coasts of Greece.

Flourens, were suffi-cient in themselves to win the mastery over M. deBismarcks unjustifiable provocations. The chancellorhad exceeded all bounds: armaments in Germany, ex-pulsions in Alsace, a campaign of the press,—every-thing had been brought into play. In the end, Europeclearly perceived whence came these projects of assassi-nation against her peace. Meanwhile in France menbegan to understand the danger which would be incurredby leaving the Ministry of War any longer in the handsof General Boulan
