Villelie the Ultra Royalist Leader in French Ministry Struggle
From Our Paris Correspondent a portrait of M. de Villelie as Ultra Royalist head in the French Chamber. The piece criticizes the ministry’s position, praises prudence, and describes Villelie as a calculating, ambitious figure who dominates his faction while the ministry lags in coherence. It notes the Ultras’ discipline under his rule and contrasts ministerial diversity with ultraloyal unity.
