The addresses of the colonels of regiments and generals in the French army he condemned, and declared his opinion that no importance ought to be attached to the attempts made to palliate the grossness of the - language used. Those addresses had been stamped wth the impress of official authority, and the ruler of France had endorsed and sanctioned them, so that they came to England with a degree of importance they would not otherwise have pos sessed, followed up by a demand for the alteration of our laws and the passing of severe measures. If Lord Palmereten's 101 l passed into law, the liberty of public opinion and the freedom of the press would be not only threatened, but threatened with annihilation. Having adverted to the opinions pronounced by Lords Campbell, Brougham, -and Lyndhurst as to the sufficiency of the existing law of conspiracy, and shown that the stri ngen t a libi , racier of • the second clause of the bill:S*lS let& clueed into the Hottie of Commons was an addi tional reason for resisting the attempt made to strain that law on the demand of despotic and foreign Powers, Mr. Nevett expressed a hope that a pow er;ul opposition would be organised by those who valued English liberty to the further progress of the Government measure. Th- re had been many important epochs in their history, but this was the most important of Clem all. In conclusion the chairman alluded to the presence of Mr. Cox at the meeting as evidence of his determination to oppose the bill, and stated that they had received a letter from Mr. Duncombe, M.P., expressive of regret that a previous engagement precluded the possibility of his accepting the invitation with which he bad been honoured by the committee. (Ex pressions of d sapprobation„ and some hisses.) Mr. B. BLYTHE proposed, and Mr. CARTWRIGHT seconded, a resolution to the effect that "This meeting, whilst regarding with abhorrence the late attempt to assassinate the Emperor of the French, pro`ests against any alteration being made in the laws of thi country on the demand or at the instigation of Louis Napoleon, or any other foreign potentate." Mat - ,11 gentlemen, in very eloquent speeches, deprecated the Ministerial measure as an at tempted infring ment on the rights and liberties of the subject, and urged that no ground having been shown, except vague statements in the French Government journal., for any alteration of the law regarding conspiracy to murder, the conduct of Lord Palmerston in truckling to the dictates of a f p o r r i e m i g d en Minister pot eras representedia ) se and c 7 bt Mr. pt T he Blythe he the " Political Dragoman of the French Embas y" —the Foreign Minister and the French Minister entering into partnership together, and setting up a common office ; and Mr. Cartwright emphatically announced that if it were true, as the French addresses declared—but as ho took the liberty of denying—that conspiracieS to murder were con cocted in this country, they must look for the cause in the vast conspitacy of crowned heals who trampled ou the lib riies of humankind, at the be id of which mighty crowned conspiracy was the Emperor of France himself. Mr. Cox, M.P., supported the resolution, clearly and conclusively painting out the unconstitutional character of the measure, and reviewing with great cars and precision the precise pesition of this im portant question. He congratul sled the people of Finsbury on having been the first to commence the agitation, and .he expressed his c nviction that althonA the introduction of the bill had been sane ioned in the House of Commons by a majo rity of 299 to 99, yet when the atrocious nature of its details came to be fully discussed, and the reason for their being proposed fully discussed, Vie Parliament, influenced and set d upen by agita tion out of doors, would turn the Ministerial ma jority into a minority, and indignan , ly reject the bill on the motion for its third reading, it it evtr reached that stage ; a gratifying result, which everything that lay in his power would be exercised to accomplish. In conclusion, Mr. Cox stated that the represr ntativt3s of tLe met ropolis had acted well on t!.e division. In the minority were to bo found the names of both the members for Westminster, both the members for Lamb th, Mr. Ayrtnn of tt e Tower 'Lamle's, his colleague, Mr. Butler, being ab• ent. Of course, Sir B. Hill voted with the Go vernment. One of the members for Fintbury— (cheers)—helped to make the 99, and it was only fair to say that Mr. Duncombe, having a very bad cold, was obliged to leave before a division took place ; but som.) people expected there would not have been any divisi-n last night.

A . numerous and mutt respectable meeting of ladies and gentlemen was held yesterday afternoon in Willis's Rooms, Great King-street, for the pur pose of raising a fund: for that relief of the wives and families of our soldiers in India. At 2 o'clock the chair was taken by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. -On the platform we observed the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Ebury, Lord Straf ford, Lord Ingestre i Sir John Pakingten, M.P., Major-General, Sir W. F. Williams, of Kars, M.P., Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., the Chaplsiu-General, t a t k ir t a h HlGHNESS, p e a f r e t l i a b n o p u r o o n p e d e e , n e Sir Frederick L-dwick, &c., &e. the f i dr n io g :g ,h,itshperoocbei positionee. ccl: as Commander-in-Chief, and a member of the Go of which was to relieve the widows and orphans of those who had gone to serve their country. Much had :beef' already done for relief of those who auf fared inaheservice, and while he cordially approved of the, objeets of the present great meeting, care ought to he taken beet mischief might be done even in promoting benevolent objects. It may be said that the Government of the country ought to take upon ,t-bernselves to provide for those in whose behalf 'ttat meeting assembled. But ti . at was not his opi- ' 1 mon ; and he candidly avowed, that if such a CQUrie were pursued, it would have the effect of etwourag: vinegrlins,inisoebßislote:rvtierd, ing imprudent marriages .in the army, which was an evil, as all military men wou'd tell them, that interred in a moetserious manner with the efficiency 'of their army. Besides this, they led to sufferings and privations of the most painful character, for w:.en. !argo p .rtirms or the army wore sent on foreign service their wives were coarpeilcd to re main behind, and but too oft n exposed to the most painful destitu' ion. It was far better they should associate themsel.ves together, as private individuals for the benevolent purpose of a , sis•ine the wives and children of their soldiers now in India, and not call on the Government to interfere in any way whatever. He himself. was decidedly of opinion that this assccie.tien ought to be miintaiued by public subscription and donation, and that the State should not be called on in any way to inter fere in its proceedings. Before he sat down he might, however, say, that though the Government will n t consent to be identified with them, he thought it right to observe that they began under the gracious auspices of her Majesty, - who hat con sented to become patron of the society. Estab lished under such auspices, aid encoura;ed as it was by a large and influential meeting such as this, and as the resolutions to be proposed would be done justice to by his noble and hon. friends around on the platform, be would not detsin them by any farther observatiorP, but he could not help 1 remarking that their prospect of raising a liberal subscription was very cheering, and that, from the beginning now made, they might expect to rec Are most encouraging support from the people at la , ge. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said be had not the honour of being a solditr, or acquainted with mili tary affairs, and he should not, therefore, go into such matters ; but in moving the resolution, deal briefly with general principles and interests. Their illus.rious chairman having explained the of of the meeting, he would say, that the sudden departure of their soldiers on foreign service—and especially on a Date ocs anion in the East Indies— having deprived their wives and children of the means of support, some exertions were called for, to relieve them from absolute and utter destitution. If their army were to be recruited by mei e school boys, it might bi that they could ignore marriages among them ; but composed as it was in a gi eat measure of adults, it was impos-ib!e to do so on a large seal , and some provision was therefore neces sary for their wives and children. He would not say that the present regulations were too lax or too rigid in cases of marria4 , s in the ar.ny, all they bad to do in that meeting was to deal with the question At it stood. A large force was sent out to India with small allowances made by the E tst India Com pany, but it was only given to the wives, and a wo:nan with one or two children re :eived just as t much as one who bad eight. The widower who I wen' , out left his children bthit.d him, but he could not do anything for them, nor were they taken c are of, as in the ea e of the naval service, where the sailor was enablea,to leave a Dortipn of has salary tettlichildren.' - BeeideS, the expetases . of a soldier were very high, and he was ofte:i left without a fraction to assist his family. The noble earl then read a letter, written by a soldier in Kurrachee, stat . ng the groat cost of what was called an Indian kit, and having urge! on the meeting that it was their boun leu duty to ienpr ,ve the soesi d and moral condition of their army—to m .ke them, in fact, pioneers of Christianity, and patterns of good conduct to the native; in India, called on them not to p 1-niit the wives of those to b:'c nue, paupers in the streets whose undaunt d byavery had been so often displayed in the caus-3 of their country. In the hour of battle many a soldier's hand was ma le more vigorous by the recollection that his country would not forget his wife and children when he was DO MOTO. Si J r . PAKINGTON secon led the resolution, aid obsetvcd that they knew nothing as civilians whether soldiers should Le married or not. All they knew was that they had wives and children, and that they should not be allowed to starve. They were all aware too well how heart-rending the separatiois were which took place on the occasion. The officars' wives were hft at homo with friends and lived comfortably, but the wife of a soldier had nothing of the kind, and ten chances to one that she would ever meet her husband again. He denie i in the most solemn manner the charge that any partiality had been shown in the diatri bution of the Patriotic Fund, or any prwelytism had rec)urse to in the case of children of Rom oa Catholic soldiers. A great proportion of their army were Roman Catholics, and from the sid.er country, and it would be moot cruel and unjust to have recourse to such practices. He had the honour of being one of the Royal Commissioners, and he knew no language sufficiently strong to repel such au accusation. The resolution was then put and carried. Major-General Sir W. F. WILLIAMS next moved that funds be raised for the wives and children of soldiers left in garrison towns after the departure of their husbands and fathers, and applied to the relief of the distress under which they suffered. Mr. KINNAIRD seconded the motion, and it was passed unanimously. Lord EMMY moved the next resolution, which was to the effect that a society be formed, not to relieve the temporary distr.( ss of those poor persons, but to make it permanent for the use of those whose husbtnds were on foreign service. Sir FREDERICK - LEDWICK seconded the motion, and it was adop'ed. Several other resolutions were passed, and on a vo:o of thatiks be'ng proposed to the Chairman, His ROYAL HIGHNESS observed that, though the observations he made respecting marriages in the army might appear harsh to civilians, yet he could assure them that it was impossitle to describe the misery and wretchedness they occasioned.' It was because he was aware of those dreadful sufferings that he wished, if possible, to prevent what not only brought calamity on the parties concerned, but rendered it impossible, if allowed, to maintain the efficiency of the British army. (Cheers.) The proceedings then terminated. (kr. Cox's), neithPr liscl he paired for the -Gove-rn merit-. (Rear, hear, and a few hisses.) The reioluti n was then put and carried unani mously. Mr. DAXIES proposed, and Mr. CLARE seconded, the following resolution, which met with hearty and unanimous adoption :—" That the Conspiracy Bill, introduced. by Lord Palmerston into the House of C . mmons last Monday night, is au attempt to infringe the liberties of the people of this country, and an insidious attack oa freedom of sine* and should be met with the most strenuous opposition of all classes of the community." A petition to the House of Commons, calling for the rejection of the bill, was agreed to ; and votes of thanks were passed to Mr. Cox, M.P., and the chairman. DESIGNS OF THE MEMORIAL OF THE GREAT EXHIBITIUN OF 1851.

In coining to any decision in the matter, there ate other considerations beside mere preference of any particular model as a work of art. The nature of the memolial must be suited to our climate, and elaborated bronze or marble erections placed out of doors scow lose their freshness and beauty, and become but a dingy mass of mud and dirt. Simplicity is therefore a great necessity in such cases ; and as we are a practical people, and the exhibition was of a peculiarly utilitarian nature, utility ought also to be chiefly con sidered. A neat casino, therefore, where the aged pedestrian could rest, and the weary nurse maid sit down with her charge, the building being embellished with suitable inscriptions and. decorat.ons, would agreeably record the spot where the first of these glass palaces reared it brilliant aspirants, as displayed at this exhibition • on the contrary, they most desire to show, ty allegorical that i l e a t h has n n; a t T and that the Prince Consort h is a right to the most prominent place as of the great idea.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Your condescenaion in inserting my former letter, and the notice taken of it by " Amiens" affect me deeply. Believe me, although "sick is the world's regard, wretched, and low," I can still be grateful. My heart, such as it is, whispered that good might come out of my humble endeavours to provoke the discussion of this uninviting subject, and now the thought that I am addressing, those who can think of us without levity or loathing is overpowering ! "Amiens" reminds me that One, than whom no greater ever trod this earth, was most solicitous about the least deserving, and—although it may excite a smile—l would remark that, somehow, even the most depraved among women—so far as my terrible experience enables me to judge—cherish come latent and lingering consolation in vague con nection with Him. - Iwill address a line to "Amicus" when I can pis • II upon myself to do so. At present I beg him to accept my-thanks. As . for Coder Idris," he writes like a Welshman : angrily, trans parently, and with an eye to business. Charac teristically enough, he hotly contradies what he rather confirms. I hope, but more than doubt, I have wronged Dolgelly, and I wish some Englishman would set me right. I never alluded to "bundling" (which still goes on el-ewhere), and I might have added that among the humbler classes in Weles (the quiet, demure, and rustic population) legitimate children ate so frequently bean during the "honeymoon" that upon calculating a first born's age you must not be guided by the marriage. certificate of its parents. I mention such unpalate able truth; simply that while one particular vice is assailed it is only proper to c oasider it in all its phases, lest in crusliieg one development you en courage the growth of another. For myself—and I say it with all becoming humility—l have but one aim, that of helping towards the prevention of an abuse of an authority, while I respectfully con cur in the widely expressed opinion that it must, in some shape, be exercised in the way of curing a common nuisance and checking a growing al.omina tion. And when not only an association of well meaning and highly respectable gentlemen, some remarkable fur their piety, and others actuated more by moral motives—when not only these, but the great mass of intelligent and influential people who make up society and read the Times, Fha 11 have overcome their natural srrnp'es, and given this distasteful but important question their calm and unwarped judgment, I am certain practical measures will be adopt. d for the benefit of the com munity without violating the laws of humanity, or the "free agency" with which we are all alike sup posed to be vested. Sir, I will be so bold as to say that England owes all her worth to the good sense and good feeling of her people. When does our Government come forward in the cause of propriety in any shape, but upon compulsion..? Has not the obscene print, "That blurs the grace and blush of modesty," been exhibited until even foreigners pointed at it in derision ? And what was more easy tlian its removal ? The question, " What is an indelicate picture, and what is not ?" is an insult. And now, is it not a reproach to our rulers, supposed to have the welfare of the public at heart, that all this out cry must be raised before any steps will be taken to abate what makes even me cry " shame T' It is hard, sir, that no well dressed man, old or young, can pass along certain thoroughfares without mo lestation ; and it is worse, much worse, that decent women, maids and matrons, are subjected to con duct and language truly disgusting, and which there is no avoiding. I see people shrink from us as they would from loathsome things. Why should we be pe:mitted with impunity to harm or even annoy those who have never off- laded us Sorely there is wickedness enough-in the world that mutt be borne with. By day, when ladies come out to gether shopp;ng or for walking exercise, that they may look into shop-windows (a harmless way of passing an hour), and when the company of a gen tlecnau is purposely dispensed with or not to be obtained, is it, not a pity that insolent prostitutes, carrying their calling on their faces and disportiug themselves most offensively,;sliould be permitted to elbow them from every attractive spot, even from shopcounters, aud "stare them down" with that unabashed effrontery which seems to say they glory in disgracing womanhood? Is there no cure for that 'sort of thing ? We are not all alike. Many a sweet face have I admired through rising tears. And mothers ! We recognive them at a glance. How dreadfully severe some look, and how mildly corn passionate others. You think, perhaps, we cannot appreciate their exemplary lives ! Ah, Sir ! we could actnetimea kiss the hems of their garments, although " Every woe a tear may claim Except an erring sister's shame." Is it nothing to look upon ono eurialA being, and say, "Such once was I," and upon another, and think, "Like that I might hare been ?" No, Sir, we are not so much enemies to virtue as we are victims to vice. " How is it then," asks the father of a family, "that I cannot come home from my—a—club, without being accosted iu a very—a—familiar —I may say -4— impert i nent manner t" " And how is it," adds the Bon, "that wegularwy, whenistwoll ing up Wegent-stweet, they call me Charles, and ask me if lam good-natured ?" Then chimes in mamma with " I don't like naming these people." It is only charitable to ignore their existence. But really if ladies and their daughters must become familiar with exhibitions that scandalise their sex; gentlemen having daughters neglect their duty. Male folks can, I suppose, take care of themselves. " Blows my soul, what can I do ?'' demands the husband. "Is it tay business to—a—do the work of the—a —scavenger—police I mean ?" Now, one word to this dornesto circle. The portly gentleman addressed by a strange woman in Pal!-mall could scarcely be expected to give her into custody. His sense of duty may be strong, but an ther feeling may be stronger Beside the sacr:fiee of convenience would be great. B s, ut ha may with justice complain. As for the son, one could expect nothing from him but silliness ; there is much of it prevailing in these days among young gentlemen ; but he is entitled to protection. The mo ther describes the worst features of the nuiean - e, and instinctively points to the remedy, but the father declares that it is not his business. Now, I tell him that it is. Never mind the term imp lied by the "scavenger," nor the iniquity suggewed by the. word " police." There is a pest at his door. Ile him self, his wife, and his children come in contact with it ; then who so fit to grapple with the noxious ness? In dealing with it, however, do nothing in ignorance. Going to the root is ono process, lop pin the branches is another. A writer named Col ton, if my memory fail the not, has said, " Seduc tions would be scarce, if women sent the seducer to Coventry instead of the seduced." Aa it is, the seducer is countenanced and courted; and it is the boast of the young among the Let: er classes that they have betrayed U 3. So much for the rout ; but we have to do with the branches, and they over shadow more of the land than can be seen at a glance. Some young men, an 1 old men toe + will be what is called "wild." They will spend ,hex money disreputably ; and among some of them there is an affectation of " fastness," which others emulate. Dissipation ruins some; it only kills whers. These men must, or rather will, go somewhere to carry out their bad propensities. They belong to all swi allow so tuelodt t nt withtoe them e ( t ) lona condemns s e m s a ennudi public ou l e rbdl o ie p er e . g n a l classe4, even the moat influential, and it is wise to Thereforee a n g a m a n u d ch oi it is h s i es i rs that p c con n o I- - menades any more than I would other public re h the anybody y responsibility n c a s i n b a i l v i t o y i d 0 .

But oolong as the I ssolute— exclusi velythe dissolute—of bothsexc a are permitted to assemble in oyster and coffee roo.ns in the midst of the• metropolis, making a common rendezvous on the pavement in front; and so long as there shall be dancing-rooms, visited only by the fr pro gat t, and whets the notoriously immoral ply for hire, this nuisance will continue to grow. Now, the scum ob set vableuponLondon IN, as it is seen iu the streets, I know to be rank. But you in 4y not know how little skimming would remove it. Take from it a SNT t or lW )of flreiln women, the most thoroughly adept at their heinous trade, and double as many English hasitities of the pave —all well known to the initiated for their hateful calling, and you will miss the great bulk of prostitutes that infest our principal streets. The majority t,f these could be frightened into more retired habits, while the incorrigible could be taught to respect an autho rity vested in those who would not abuse it. But few accomplished women are to be found among those to whom lam alluding. The provinces sup ply most of th m, and many have been servants. I never saw what I should term a lady on the town, and more than one or two of really gente 1 origin and good education. The " better tort" either die soon, hid up in nooks courrs, or get into " keeping." Their superior intelligence makes them companionable„ and - if they have tact, and anything like personal advantages, they must for a season live in a certain sort of luxary. The most unprincipled men are the greatest fools in regard to wome 1, and most easily fleeced by them ; but some times the fool is scarcely a knave, and simply " soft." It is wonderful how many'of your emi nent men, as well as men Qf rank and fashion, are the dupes of courtesans. The highest professional attainments and the most exalted positions, are laughed to scorn by woman, whose wiles a city " gent" would ridicule. Occasionally' the welt informed woman—and Oven the woman of obscure origin —finds not only a " protector," but a hus band, either in a weak-minded man, a mere cal lous sensualist, or one of noble nature, with per ception to distinguish between misfortune and de pravity, generosity enough to forgive past errors, and faith enou g h t o re l y upon f u t ure fid e lity a n d rratitude. Alth oug h soc i e t y is dead age we are tot all i ncapa bl e o f b e i ng lif te d ou t o f th e mire of repr o bati on , an d b ecom i ng, as man y now are, wives and mo th ers o f exemp l ary b e h av i ou r, whatever be passing within. As we. have so little to boast of, I may be excused mentioning this. The genus " kept lady" is, however, an extensive one. They can scarcely be blamed. There is no retalia tion they can inflict which circumstances will not palliate, but we have few of us sufficient calcula tion for anything beyond the present moment. Looking backward we cannot endure ; looking for ward we fear. We are ntvortbeleos mongol with out desizn, sometisometime.Wltliont privity. Moralists should look to thin. Younotezt talk of their " little woman," and their "box a little, way out," as they do of their dogs and horses.

We need not repeat—what everyone who has read the two nights' debits on the Conspiracy Bill has already remarked—that the whole weight of argument, and all the dignity of moral sentiment, was on the side of Lord Palmerston's opponents-- Lord John Russell's statesmanlike breadth of view, Mr. Roebuck's vigorous and impassioned eloquence, h the sound Constitu tt io e able nailegal 6 analysis x p t Mr. i 0 n s Hope, Messrs.

We have again and again argued in support of the theme that war between France and England—the only two complete nationalities in Europe ' the great champions of European civilisation—woul , l be only not so unnatural as a civil war. Still we feel that the duty incumbent upon our Repre4entatives in the House of Commons of resi,ting the proposal to legislate under pressure from without was s ) urgent and imperative as to hive warranted their T-jesting Lord PalinerAton's application for leave to bring in his bill at all hazards. _ But the refired oven to discuss the principle of the measure under the pressure a of threats would r o i r s i k ty o: th N l is one h lis ad t o b f e t e h n e not hare led to any ru sh e o wit d h France.

Such a measure would never have been presented to the Hou se of Commons but for Count Walewski's insinuation that "the English legislation contributes to favo ur the desig n s an d plans of assassins." It is t r u e that Count W a l ews k i in the 'lama of his Imp erial Master, has condescended the bruslitelee to ex press regret that suage in which some ardent Colonels backed his llow application in their Ad d re sses, had been allowed to find its way into the columns of theed 31eit iteto. ; but has Count Wale wski apologised o for the insolent and intem perate apee,th fM.

This is only a now illus tration of the old truth, that unworthy fear is ap; to en ate the very danger seeks to avoid. ' The fault that has been eiieommitted is not irre mediable, though a very littl e time may maks it so. A severe scrutiny of the principle and details of the bill, and its rejecion 0., the merits, may yet make amends for the undignified yielding implied in the con sent to debate its provisions. It would thus be come apparent that an overst rained courtesy alone had been at the bottom of .the extraordinary vote of Tuesday night. The public are willing to grant a locus penitentice to thos e raercbers of the House for of Commons who voted Lord Palmerston's mo tion, and also to those who more shabbily absented th ems elves from the vote. But Should this oppor tunity of re-establishing their tarnished reputat ion be neglected, honourable members must be pre pared to have disagreeable remarks made upon their conduct. .

Acute critics of others, plausible lecturers on al). stract questions of policy, when the time comes for action, they seem ever to keep halting between two opinions. If they fail on the t iecond=xeading as they have done on the first, it will be said of them, as it was said of the Patriarch of " Issachar is an ass crouching between two burdens." (From the 7imes.) • This country, while it is endeavouring t•) satisfy ;he reasonable demands of foreign Governments by ncreased severity of legislation, may naturally expect that no efforts shall be made to drives political malcontents to despair ; but the measures which have recently been adopted in France seem equivalent to a warning that no opposition to the present Government will be tolerated or forgiven. The law which has been approved by the Council of State offers ►ittle security against the recurrence of crimes such as those of Pianori and Orsini ; but it weakens the position of moderate Liberals in their resistance to violent schemes, and it tends:to recruit the ranks of insurgents and of assassins from the general mass of political exiles. A majority of those who at first resented the violent suppression of popular government may have been willing tacitly to subside into the acquiescent mass of the nation, and the newly founded Empire.could hive no pretension to call up arrears of loyalty, or to reckon with those who had failed to worship the, yet unrisen sun. The defenders of that which was law and order on the Ist of December might laY claim to some consideration for the sudden change which converted them into insurgents on the 2d ; but after the lapse of six years they fin 1 that they are never to receive complete absolution for the acts wh.c4 a fe►c hours, conrroneincr with a sur prise, had converted into crimes. rue a aileron so: the defeated factions in 1848 and 1849 are included in the alarming catalogue of suspected ticket-of leave men. Combatants from both sides of the barri cades of June find themselves equally subjected to imprisonment or transportation at the will•of the Executive authority. General Cavaignac, if he were now living, would, under the provisions of the new law, be rtduced to the con:li ion of a con vict at large on good behaviour. If international courtesy requires the assumption thst the proposed measures are suited to the internal necessities of France, Englishmen may nevertheless express their uncatfne3s at the adoption of a policy ro obviously calculated to revive misunderstandings mei ns th4t which has recently occurred. Eve❑ Count Wa lewski recognised the duty of affording an asylum to the members and adher nts of fallen dynasties ; but the enactment which attaches penal conso- gnawers to mancativres and intelligences may at any time be applied to visits at Claremont, or to cor respondents with the inmates of Twickeuhale A zoalous Parisian journal asserts that censure of the Imperial Government is an instigation to the murder of the Emperor. Toe logicians of the bar racks might argue that the country which protected the adversaries of the established Government be came at once "a den of assassins." Oa more general grounds the adoption of a system of repression in France must be regarded with serious anxiety. If the policy of the Gevern went is necessary, the Empire must be exposed to constant and imminent peril ; and, on the other band, the exhibition of alarm and distrust tends to create the very dangers which are apprehended. One of the most popular French delusions repre sents the English as unfriendly to the permanent repose of the Continent. According to the vulgar bodef, the selfish islanders, confident in their own traditional secariry, look with a tranquil setiefac tion on the periodical convulsions which interrupt the progress of France, and some suspicion of this kind is at the bo•tom of the violsnt feeling which ie unfortunately not C,,n fined to a few ill-bred soldiers. No ration :l foreigner can believe that assassination is tolerated by English opini ; but there is a widespread impression that chronic plots and mur murings of disaffection are watched with favour or complacency. We mead not fell any Englishman that the real feeling of the country and the judgment of its stateAA , n incline to an entirely opposite conclusion. It is the wish and interest of Elgland Viet the government of France should to in friendly hands # but it is still more important tied the ruling power should be strong, respected, and prosperous. Thu advantages of the alliance which has survivel many vicissitudes are too obvious to be overlooked; 1 bist lissermay. leest, sa tetetter-; ing govertinicnt in the desperate attempt to earn a spurious popularity. Charles X. made the attempt on the eve of his fall, and Louis Philippe fol'owed his exensple. Napoleon 111., s'rcnger and more confident in his strength, has also been more reso lutely faithful to England ; but the well-wishers of the alliance cannot regard with iedifferentie the implied admission that the Imperial dynasty is now maintains I by force against the wish of a part of the nation. The military organisation of the provinces in five separa• e commands, the appointment of a Marshal-General, to supersole, in past, the Minister of War, are measures undoubtedly within the competency of the Government, and they must be exempt from the hostile criticism of foreigners. Those who desire the tronquillly of France may be excused for the expression of regret that the Civil Administration should be thought or found insuffisient ; the appointment of a General officer to the Ministry of the Interior might have passed without comment as a proof of the c nitidenee reposed by the Emperor in a well known adherent ; but General Espinasse has thought fit to inaugurate his tenure of office by a declaration that he has b en I selected for the most important civil position on the express ground that be is a soldier. The public, he truly says, in his circular to the Prefects, may, perhaps, discuss the appointment of a military man , to functions which are exclusively civil. It may be added, that the feeling of strangeness will not be diminished by the recollectiox that the new Minis ter of the Interior, at the head of his regiment, turned the National Assembly out of doors. Gen. Espinasse is desirous that the significance of his appointment should be neither distorted nor di minished. He accordingly declares in substance that the Emperor has been too generous and the country too confident. "An execrable attempt has ' opened all eyes, and has revealed to us the savage resentment and the culpable hopes which still glim mer among the ashes of the revolts' ionary party." A civilian might have hesitated to deduce from the crime of three Italian exiles the conclusion that a formidable revolutionary party exist° 1 iu France ; but the Minister knows what is to be done, though his explanation of the reason for action may be questionable ; and he announces " a watchful, in cessant surveillance, ready to prevent, prompt and firm to suppress, always calm, as power and justice should be. . . . This is the most important part of my task, and this is why the Emperor selected me." The surveillance which can only be exercised by a military functionary will be alarming to the peaceable community. It has been, perhaps, rather the misfortune than the fault of the Emperor that he has not been able to surround him , elf, with advisers of established reputation and public importance. His personal followers, in their natural desire to retain the monopoly of office, have an interest directly op posed to that of the Sovereign and of the nation. It costs them nothing to alienate the moderate politicians and statesmen who might be their rivals, but who could never be their supporters or colleagues. The Emperor cannot himself transact all the business of Government, and his authority is sometimes devolved upon subordinates whose conception of a political. system is confined to a be lief in the efficacy of force. With the army and the peasantry on his side Napoleon 111. ought, in the interest of his dynasty, to conciliate those who govern opinion, and to acquire the confidence of the middle classes, for a ruler se able can scarcely condescend to the vulgar ambition of founding a military despotism. But, if the policy of coercion is pursued, foreign states will regard with just un easiness the coincidence of political discontent with the established supremacy of the army. The temp tation to escape from domestic difficulties by schemes of aggrandisement abroad may become irresistible if time or circumstances should diminish the vigour of the hand which holds the sceptre. As General Espinasse with involuntary justice remark', power ought to be " calm and tranquil." y alioneting every o lucated civilian .v at the Em every malcontent the ddi to ffi es ltiesperationwees th h threatenperor his in n I d t is Can Overcome cu G ove rnment and dynasty. drivingr o i t vi l Oyg iii [A DVERTISIMENT ]way'e Pills are undeniably g b t a h n e i n e h the the Deer' wut1.,1..0 for del-irtsted e nnstitutione, die ordered liver, bile, and indigestion.
