  We calculate the ratios E2/M1 and C2/M1 for the electroproduction of the
$\Delta$(1232) in the region of photon virtuality $0<-q^2<1$ GeV$^2$. The
magnetic dipole amplitude M1 is also presented. The theory used is the chiral
quark-soliton model, which is based in the instanton vaccum of the QCD. The
calculations are performed in flavor SU(2) and SU(3) taking rotational
($1/N_c$) corrections into account. The results for the ratios agree
qualitatively with the available data, although the magnitude of both ratios
seems to underestimate the latest experimental results.
