Passy (Ministre des Finances), 1849. Passy, Finance Minister. Le plus d?sol? des ministres! Il passe sa journ?e ? compter des sacs non remplis, et pour comble d'infortune il n'a fait jusqu'? ce jour ? la tribune que des discours vides. Aussi l'Assembl?e nationale se propose-t-elle de d?cr?ter prochainement que ce minister sera tenu de modifier son nom et ne s'appellera d?sormais que Mr. Passif. (The most sorry of ministers! He spends his day counting empty bags, and to make matters worse, he has only made empty speeches on the platform to date. Therefore, the National Assembly intends to decree shortly that this minister will be required to change his name and will henceforth only be called Mr. Passive). From Les Repr?sentans Repr?sent?s (Representatives Represented).
