STATE 0, POLITICS IN FRANCE. Wehave received from high actbority at Paris, gays a 7 j, rn ing paper, the following account of the situation uf France, oith revert to the question of peace or war sith Spain The King of Franke is decided for peace: Monsieur and the Duke of Angonleme are now known to enter al's the same pacific views. Even the Doke of Montme rem, the suppo-ett champion of the war-party, pre few. to have no warlike intentions. How, then. is 141 roe Min naturally ask, that the questioo is not at once set at rest by iOlllO decisive declaration ? The fact is, that all the hesitation and delay is to be ascribed to the difficulty of getting well out of a serape. France feels that she has committed herself, and does aotkaow how to intricate herself from a situation bordering on the ri- Simkins : she is therefore waiting for some oap'rtnnity °liaising out gracefully. A few facts will explain this Issuer folly : Montmorency, at Verona, expected at first to find the Allies unanimously ready tomake war on !fpaie. The Duke of IVellington used such forcible u tpusents against such a proceeding, that the French Ambassador abandoned all hope on that point : bet be obtained tin recognition (already published in the/demi ira-) that France bad the right of herself to make war, aml that she might do so if she pleased.• Mont morency pres-ed hard for something more; and after long discussion it was agreed that Russia, Anitria, and Prussia, would under certain circumstances, withdraw their Ambassadors from Madrid, provided Fiore did the same. Montmorency pledged Goverment• to this avrangensent, and the Contra.s t vi lse mi. hi. de Villele, however, refuses to ratify Reek yea agtettoest he segues, that if the question is iefi to Vroce elm has a Titbit's settle the ankh. I. bee owe way, a id eight sot to be required to eo-operate with ether Gererements in measurn wisic.l may defeat, in owl o f e xpediting, her objects : that, especially, she oetbt mot to be called upon to take a step which, by canine offall negociation isith Spain, would probably preclude all possibility of a pacific result. Montmorency, lss-eller, felt his personal character involved, and oh liinately adhered to the incautious pledge which he heti given. Such was the state of the French Cabinet when the Duke of Wellington arrived at Paris. The case was sated to him; and before be gave his °pitiless, lie re quested to be Wormed whether there was any intention taping to war with Spain ? He thee kerns that the King, Monsieur, the Mitre( A ageeleree, and the majo rity of the French Cabinet were decided afainst war:' nay, thud Id. de Montmoreney himself meant to be sweet with the recall of the French Ambassador torn 51AtIri.l. aid had no idea of hostile interference aitl. the Spanish Government. Fortified with this liiesiedge, the Duke of Wellington asked why de Pasch liovernment,seeing that bee intentions were saga. abash' have recourse to a memere which was at Iran utfeesiee, and which could hardly fail to lead I. shmatehostilities. The King of France and the Prison 'idle blood yielded to tilt, reasowiag s and the Fres& Minister will remain at Madrid. The Natural Took 4 , mil a decision seems to be the dismissal of Itostase• ierwy from the Cabinet; for the difference between his sot 11. de Valets is too great, and—what is of more eels sequenc•—is considered by the former in too pereonai a light,to &Imhof their acting together. The Kiog. of newt, however, feels a justifiable hesitation in dis gracing a respe ctable et. and the instantatmoos dismissal of Montmorency would have that appearance. Matters, therefore, trill probably remain as they are, till the meeting of the Chambers, when Villek, who is evaioof s majority, Mill carry* motion in epprobation his own view of this important iringia.

Sr. JAMai PANlL—Yesterday, the Canal in St. lamses Park was partially frozen over, and during the day several persons ventured upon the ice at the tippet end and alone the sides. The ice appeared to be toler able Wane, except the places where It had been broken np for the confectioners.

The sufferer was convey ed to the surgery of Mr. Davis, nearly opposi te whose house the accident occurred, where every attention was paid him that his Case demanded.—(Mormieg Paper.) Limo Tsars I—This is a phrase generally used b sea men to denote a species of marvellous stories with which they delight to wile away the dreary " mid watch" and to astonish the wondering minds of MO greewhorna or land lubbers as may happen to be on board. Amunst these nautical night talcs, the most ats tonishing is that called " The Merry Dunns of %vela" This was a vessel of such extraordinary magnitude, that she has been known to be receiving a cargo of coals at her bow port in Sunderland harbour, and die charging them at the same time out of her stern port into the coal lighter below Loodentßridge.

THEATRES. Pliefi,v-Lais Temarite.—Tne •liordsy entertainments iors.§ as usual at this house last night ; mills the repreatn tOils of the tragedy of George Bermes/I, alter wls , :h was predmesd a new Comte. Pantomime, called by the sublime and mystical tit:* of Got and Magog ; or, Harlequin Ahti ;Nary. A name so Intiosteli ilsociated with the glories of Guildhall and the Mayoralty, of course, produced an over- i doyen, attendant., of the industrious youth, who look to civic honours with fond anticipation. The superintendence of those two terrific champions of the elty, was nut nes* 'elens to the pantomime over which they presided. The pipes was for some lime releiveil with the good humour which characterises a Christmas audience, but the spirit of disapprobation soon manifeited itself In a manner that could not be misunderstood. The pantomime wsi so heavily manufactured, for the most part, that the good spirits which the audience brought along with them, rapidly began to eva porate, but they were now an.l then restored to a pleasant feeling by some display of scenery, which was interesting and attractive. The tricks, however, were so poorly con trived and so clumsily executed that in many 'esteem., there was a complete failure of effect, and in several the mischances of the machinery produced the usual expres sions of disappointment. Wa do not, therefore, enter into any description of the piece, which called forth in the lest scene the loudest exclamations of distaste. There was, however, some applause to the conclusion, but it was quite overwhelmed by the cries of " Of ! Off I" which resounded through the house just before the failing of the curtain. — Mr. RIDGWAT:`1111110 played Harlequin, tame forward to announce the piece for repetition, which he did, after silence was with difficulty prochead. The announcemeet was an swered by cries of " No: Not" mingled with some *p elmets. It is but justice to say, that the performers exert ed themselves to the utmost throughout, and that their ef forts occasionally excited a kindlier sentiment towards a production which no Meat or address could long sustain. With the exception, Indeed, of the scenery, some of which was very line, sad e few comic songs, with some dashes of ellbetlyeelvicity„ it was perfectly tiresome, being destitute not only of the broad humour of the most eccentric Panto mime, but having neither that quickness of evolution in the tricky, or skilful application of machinery, which could be 'substituted fur originality, and vigour of action and de sign. . COVINT-GAIMI4 TIMATIIII.—Last night, after the Tea. gedy of Douglas, a new Pantomime was produced, entitled Harlequin and the Ogress ; or, the Sleeping Deady of the Wood. The Introductory part represented the celebrated fairy tale In a very splendid manner, and when the trans formations took places le whlehHarlequis,Colustbise, and their clumsy persecutors originate, a series of tricks, en ebastimette, ativenteree, and accidents commenced, which proceeded with greet rapidity, dexterity, and humour, to the final triumph of the hero and heroine. It would be ridi culous to labour eat a description of the various occur rences exhibited to ter eyet we shall therefore say no more, Mao that they aiorded Mr. ffiettiatot, senior, a good scope for his broad hamoar—Mr. Gatuatet, junior, a suecient oppertualty for the display of these feats of activity in which be excels. and ell the performers strong reason to be eatielled with their respective undertakings. The scenery is the .at splendid that we remember to hove witnessed eves at this Theatre for many years.

The ekaegus were ewe- i 'dieted with mush precision, sad the tricks were executed ' with such facility, that not '. single failure took place through the night ; in fact. the whole had more the appear ance of a law practised exhibition, In which the performers and treshanists were rendered perfect by experience, thee, of a wow overheard, laying its first claim to approhatioe. It eru received with shouts of applause from the beginning to this sad, and possessing all the materials calcutatml to reprint such performances attractive, we mey confidently predict a successful run in its favour. The' house was crowded to excess. AIIILTNI TIIIIATRIL—After the performance Of the well keel's bundle of Tout asdJerrg, at this theatre last eight, a new Male pantomime, intitied Harlequin's Huas.was pre- i 'anted to • fall hosts. It consisted of a series of views of Rakers', tailors', amd barbers' shops. including an exhlhi.. tloa of waiter Mermaid, and of the Brixton Tread-mill.' Most of tbe scenery was new, and does credit to the artists. The pipes was tedious, though occasionally relieved by NM, sprightly music and dancing. WesT Lumley TUEATIC — A new entertainment ealled The LOW Stake was presented at this little Theatre last sleet. The story is founded upon the old popery igloo( • great Klee Wee deeply into love with an intsginary being, who finding all human means of obtaining 'the object of his desires fail, is driven to the expedient of ealling in super human aid. He consults a magician, who requires, et the ries eltis aid, that the Prince shall present him with a bride of uttionsisbed wily; but to assist !skein his search after eisobjeet so difficult to be found, he supplies him with a mirror. which has the magic power of making any face look Befouled where the Mind was not of the purest cast,— Tbe Prince, having without success. applied this ordeal to Melodies of his own country. visits Bagdad in the same pursuit, bet with' no better 'fortune. At length, In the detester of one of his offieers, whose obscure. condi dee had for a long time prevented her being exposeJ to this difficult test, be Inds seen a woman is the Alegi etas petaled out to him, and the natural result is. that all her troubles end In his being united to this übseure fair. Tbe Aar. whose daughter the Sultan thus espoused, thrust:Mt to be au Irishman, the archness of whose blunders gave considerable interest to the piece. The whole con eieded with the descent ofthe Geniis in • cloud of sulphur. The parte were well performed. and the representation wanted nothing of that glare and hustle so necessary to a behalf motertainment. Some of the tricks too were hisfrown. and the machinery good. Sopaav Tara-roc—At this theatre last sight there was Me paateesime, bet there was an exhibition, which was • solbetleate for It. It was the story of Alassaniello dram theall—adorned with romantic scenery, end interspersed with ambling horses, treachery, end mortal combats. As a sgeetaele It might vie with the last dramatic Cbreerstfort, and as a tragedy it was sufficiently deep. The story, Is of itself always interesting, however fannliar It maybe to the stied. The chief merit. however, of the exhibition' lies with the printer, width:. beautify] stud of horses.

A perpetual fusillade was kept op !utmost during the last scene. The musketry men should be by all means put on a reduced provision of powder. Comte T n .--At this Theatre the tragic history of George Barnwell was represented in the form of a Melo drama. As soon as the London Apprentice Itrul termi..hted his career at Tyburn, Torn and Jerre commenced their ee- centricities in France, and the merriment of the andimice continued unabated. The entertainments of the evening concluded with • new Comic ?entombs... under the tine of The Mermaid ; or, Harlequin Odd Fish. Oroups of Tri tons, Nerieds, and Mermaids, glittered for a while upon the stage; an amourous Triton declared his passion for the most t at tr activeio ns. the humours. t t he Mermaids, e o r f m t a h i e d s t; e a rl ' e il q ui aftern :l d ept ter used : n u :l:n i s e i nneterera.b appeared rlrs The " scenery was splendid; many of the mechenical contri vanees were ingenious, and the whole to give unbounded satisfaction.
