The French, who are as good . taCticiane in the cabinet as the field, show that, in a shod time, they will equal us in the arts of Parliamentary hosibess. The time has not been lost which has been taken up in the indisposition of Ministers, to prepare for meeting the great question of, whether the Election Law, according to the Charter, ii not too favourable to the liberties and wishes of the people, against the views of the High Mo narchy-men or Ultra Royalists. In the midst of the debate, whether tbe petitions should be enterained or rejected, the Minister of Finance, like an able general who sees his army in danger of a defeat, effected a diversion by introducing a projet respecting a new rate of Customs. These subjects, according to their etiquette, take place before all petitions. It was, however, impatiently , got rid of, and the flame of debate was about to break out again, when Ministers, cautiously and tip morously, obtained a postponement of the rife cession till the following day. An adjournment of a few hours is always, in cases of this nicely balanced nature. in favour of Governments.— A vote rises vastly in value on the occasion, it is true, but not beyond the means of a good secret or privy purse. It is supposed that more than a million of money, of the private fortune of *food King, now alive, has been generously so applied.
