No she whignOws the French character will attach stability tellikeir politics—they • are mutable in the extreme—and while in England a man is execrated, abhorred and held in sovereign aritempt for one act of apottacy : 111 France a pull. titian may be even mules, who has apostatised from, and to every party which has existed in the country fir the last twenty years. Wilk us, we say of the most respectable families—of the Fits• williams, the Atbemarles and the Hitilands, that they are Whig Families: but in France, !' ca goat des Giro:4lles par tour —the politics of each indi vidual may be known to day, but must be gawped , at for to-aiorrow. It follows of course that no estimate can be taken a the probable effect, that 1 the, recent changes may work in the Cabinet of , Paris, but if we may augur from their first act, the present ministers will meet popujarty—for by it they withdrew the law which their predecessors had introduced into the Chamber of Deputies, to givni the Comp de grace to the Libersy of the Press We would not prostitute a term which we hold Ow highly, or we should from this one action denominate the present, a French Winti Adminis tration—they have ceded to the voice of the Peo ple, and so lung as a Government will do so (and no longer), does it deserve to be supportWd, revered and respected.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, D►:`. lA. At halt' past one the sitting commenced: the Chamber was very full, but no Minister appeared. It was observed that the centre was very thin. The business of the day began by M. Barite making a report relative to tho election of M. Du rano,.,whom the committee had returned as duly elected. In the midst of a debate on this subject, a noise was heard in one of the lobbies, and imme diately the State Messengers and Ushers made their appearance before the new Ministers, who were introduced in a body, and with the usual ceremony. Messieurs de Villele and Corbiere, in ministerial sostunie entered first, and took their seats; next came the Duke of Belluno, in the uniform of a Marshal of France, and Viscount Montmorency, in the dress of a Peer; M. de Peyronnet, in that of a Deputy, his Excellency not having yet assumed the robes .of Keeper of the Seals. The Marquis de Clermont Tonnere was absent. This novelty interrupted the procliedings of the Chamber for sonic time. The discussion then con- tinned; the result of which was the admission of M. Durand, the proposition for such admission being supported by the whole of the left side, a part of the centre, and a great uumber of the Deputies on the right. A part of the right opposed it.
