Passy (Ministre des Finances), 1849. Passy, Finance Minister. Le plus désolé des ministres! Il passe sa journée à compter des sacs non remplis, et pour comble d'infortune il n'a fait jusqu'à ce jour à la tribune que des discours vides. Aussi l'Assemblée nationale se propose-t-elle de décréter prochainement que ce minister sera tenu de modifier son nom et ne s'appellera désormais 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 Représentans Représentés (Representatives Represented).
