ROWLAND and SON, 20, HATTON-GARDEN, LONDON. WII - ettley Lodge, near Taunton. Gentlemen,— I consider it almost an imperative duty to state the valuable efficacy of your most excellent MACASSAR OIL. For the last fifteen years I have been bald, occasioned by a most dreadful fever whilst in India. I have used almost every means to procure a head of hair again, but all my efforts seemed fruitless, until, acci dentally, a friend advised the use of your valuable Hair Restorer, (I can give it no better name,) and after using a 3s. 6d. bottle, every symptom of a new head of hair began to show itself, to the surprise of both myself and family. I resolved on haying another, and ob tained another bottle, and, before the whole of which was used, I had, and have now, as handsome a head of hair as ever man en joyed, and I earnestly recommend all who have not tried this most excellent Oil, will not fail to do so. I am, Sirs, your most grateful and obedient servant, J. WALKER, Colonel. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL Is the only article that produces and restores Hair ; also WHIS KERS, MUSTACHIOS, and EYE-BROWS; prevents Hair from falling off or turning grey to the latest period of life; changes grey lair to its original colour—frees it from scurf, and makes it beauti fully SOFT, CURLY, and GLOSSY. For children it is invaluable, as it B s e a foundation for a BEAUTIFUL HEAD OF HAIR. *** Beware o SPURIOUS IMITATIONS 111—The genuine ar ticle has the words "ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL," on the wrapper.

A PRACTICAL INDIA GUIDE, containing Queen's Officers, Cadets, Surgeons , Ci vilians, &c. No deviati on or suggestions o f outfitters should be allowed or attended to, &c. By ROBERT CROWTHER, Esq, late Captain Madras Cavalry. London: Longman and Co., publishers, Paternoster-row. "Of the many similar works of this description which have from time to time issued from the press, we may safely cite this as by far the most useful and complete. Captain ' Kerr's Advice to Cadets,' usually regarded as the best of its class, is a very good book, but it is too verbose and bulky, and contains besides a vast deal of doubt less well meant, but wholly extraneous matter. The present' Guide' is written by an experienced and talented officer of the Madras Ca valry, influenced wholly by a desire to save parents much useless expense in the outfit for India, and to promote the comfort and wel fare of their sons. It is well known that the complaints of cadets and writers on their arrival in India respecting their outfits are as invariable as they are loud ; the usual lists containing an abundance of absurdly selected and utterly useless articles, whilst those of real necessity, and which are often not procurable in India, or only at a most exorbitant price, are wholly omitted. To furnish himself with these real necessities in India the cadet is obliged to encumber him self with debts, no allowance being made for those essential articles in the sum provided for his regimental equipment on his arrival in India. Mr. Crowther's aim is to remedy this monstrous grievance, and an extensive circalation of his book will assuredly very far pro mote this beneficial object. His style of writing is concise and unaf fected, his matter well selected and arranged, and his instructions, beyond the mere advice as to outfits, purchases, servants, pay, and so forth, are those becoming a soldier and a gentleman. No yonng officer ought to be allowed to embark for India unprovided with this most excellent little manual—much mental anxiety and bodily dis tress will be avoided by a frequent reference and heed to its valuable contents."—British Fiend of India Magazine and Indian Review.

Public attention is naturally directed to the continent of India, in these times of speculative enterprise, as a new and unexplored field for the investment of capital, from the conviction that the yet unde veloped resources of its wealth, its industry, and its productive power, will richly and amply remunerate the speculator. The millions who people that vast and fertile region of the globe, only require the impulse of enterprise to call forth the almost bound less riches that immediately surround them ; and were they possessed of that great artery of civilisation—railroads —the current of their political and Industrial strength would instantly become enlarged, not only in volume, but in richness also. If we glance at the continent of India, we find our power mainly concentrated on three points on the coast—Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, which form an irregular triangle, the base of which may be termed Madras and Calcutta, and the apex Bombay; and the great bulk of the wealth and physical power of India is inclosed within that figure; therefore, it becomes a matter of the primest im portance to have the intersecting lines of our empire as perfect as possible, so that our power may be felt at every point, and our in fluence extended to every part. From the want of this concentrative power, India has become almost a burden to the mother country, barely paying its executive administration in lieu of being a lucrative possession —a wealth-yielding appendage. To obviate this great and glaring defect in our Anglo-Indian em pire, it is only necessary to extend to her the same means of com munication that we possess at home ; to bring, in short, the great centres of her internal power nearer to each other ; and, instead of depending upon her rivers as lines of traffic and intercourse, she ought to have a well-arranged network of railway extending over her surface ; then she would increase in power, and augment in riches. The Directßombay and Madras Railway is projected to carry out, in part, this noble scheme ; and a single glance at the map must convince the most cautious calculator that the project is well founded, and the line of route happily chosen to effect its purpose; as it will intersect the most wealthy and industrious provinces of the continent of India, the Carnatic, and the Mysore, which abound in natural productions, in manufacturing industry, and in agricnitural wealth. wiTthhien taw few o r e h rt o t n P r s r , e d u e r n n e e i y e Psis f e ll e a n d r e as the a r n , d a l n i d om no b t ay m w o iiiltihbse, as b r o h u e g r e h _t o to r fo s r o e na ; e a 25 11 ,4 d 0 , 0 i m n i ll ie e u s h o a ti f v r e o s o se n l d s m o t te ki e n n g u a re lon p g en a i n n d su d la ang of er l o n u d s i v a, oy t a h g e e ir clstly cargoes may be easily conveyed to Bombay for shipment, in a less number of hours than the voyage occupies days; thus avoiding all risks of damage, peculation, wear, and tear, &c., which in general characterise these voyages. The saving of insurance will also be immense—a matter of first-rate importance. In a political and military point of view, the line must be of almost incalculable importance, as it will intersect the great depots of the East India Company, and afford at all times a ready and prompt conveyance for troops, baggage, stores, artillery, and that cumbrous materiel which invariably attend their march ; and, above all, it will prove of the utmost utility to the Indian Government, in the distri bution of their forces among the various military posts of the three Presidencies, and for their rapid concentration on any required point, the want of which was so distinctly shown in the late calamitous events on the Sutlej, and the consequent fearful sacrifice of life. The district traversed by the Direct Bombay and Madras Railway contains upwards of 30,000,000 of inhabitants ; and the wants and industry of this large body already yield a considerable tonnage, al hough in a comparative state of barbarous communication. In the report of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, we find that the traffic to and from that City amounts to 187,343 tons annually, con sisting chiefly of cotton and salt. These two items form merely a fraction of the requirements of the Indians. Bombay Is unapproach able except by a dangerous and expensive sea-board, and a cheap and safe communication can alone render available her internal resources. Cotton has now to be transported 500 miles to the coast, to reach Bombay for shipment. A railway would naturally obviate so cir cuitous and expensive a route. Some idea may be formed of the de struction and delay occasioned by these journeys, when we state that the cotton is carried on the backs of oxen, at the rate of 10 miles per day, which enormously augments its shipment price. The present cost of conveyance from Nagpore to the port of shipment is from 141. to 20/. a ton, and the charge byre!' of 2el a ton per mile would amount to 4/. 3s. 4d., a considerable difference. The same facts pre vail in regard to silk and other commodities, which are of the first Importance to our manufacturing interests. This line will also bring nearer to us the fine island of Ceylon, with all its rich productions, commencing as It will at Madras, and taking In Its course Arcot, Vellore, Banglore, Oscotta, Bangalore, Sera, Dodairee, Hurrioor, Ghittledroog, Myacunda, Anagee, Hurryhur, Shahnoor, Hullyhall, Hoobly, Danvar, Taloor, Gohauk, Rybaugh, Meeruj, Kola poor, Satara, Poona, Poonah, Tullignon, Singhur, Callianee, Basseen, Salsette, and Bombay; thus absorbing the interests and traffic of up wards of 30 first-rate cities, and from 400 to 500 towns in the most densely populated part of India, facilitating the conveyance of cotton, coffee, tobacco, opium, sugar, silk, senna, gum, cassia, dye-woods, hides, furs, lac, betel nut, saltpetre, spices, fire-wood, charcoal, coal, corn, and various kinds of grain, indigo, &c., and the imports of treasure, manufactured and other goods, salt, ice, &c. The passenger traffic alone, according to reasonable and careffil calculation, will yield an ample par tentage on the capital raised; and the immense tonnage of merchandise and raw produce must insure to the shareholders a profit beyond even the first-rate lines of England. The promoters of the present scheme have received intelligence from their agents that the line presents no engineering difficulties, and that the cost of construction must be moderate, labour being plentiful, and the purchase of land comparatively trifling, and wood, coal, and iron abounding in the immediate neighbourhood of the whole line. The management of the Company will be vested in a Board of Di rectors in London, in connexion with an influential branch both in Bombay and Madras. Care will be taken, in the act constituting the Company, that the responsibility of the Shareholders shall be limited to the amount of their subscriptions; and four per cent. interest will be paid upon the capital advanced up to the time of construction. The Directors also beg to call especial attention to the principle by which allottees in this Company are protected from an objectionable responsibility, by the condition that their application for shares will not be considered binding upon them, should they afterwards decline to pay the de posits requi; ed at the time specilled in their letters of allotment. A reserve of 40,000 shares will be made for India, which the pro jectors have much pleasure in stating will scarcely suffice for the detnand already made.

THIERS AND GUIZOT, IN THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, ON THE POLICY OF FRANCE. In the course of Wednesday last, the discussion of the estimates afforded M. Thiers, who has been of late comparatively silent, an opportunity of arraigning the whole system of M. Guizot's policy. The following is his speech : M. THIERS said that it was in order not to interrupt the discussion of the Chapters that he addressed the Chamber at that moment. He stood there to support by antici pation the amendment of M. 0. Barrot. The Chamber would comprehend that it was not a vote that he came forward to solicit, nor did be want, on the eve of an election, to excite men's minds by a highly-coloured picture of grievances. His only design was to ex pose to all impartial and enlightened men the motives of his opposition. In his opinion, a reaction had been for some years going on, not of a vio lent character, for such could not take place in the preeentetimes, but a moderate reaction, 'such as had been manifested at the revolution of 1830. He had contri buted to found and consolidate the present Government, and he now attacked it, not in its essence—God forbid!— but in some of its acts—in the acts of its servants, the present Ministers, who, in following their own tastes, imagined they were serving its interests. Some month,, back he said that all governments commenced by being right, and finished by being in the wrong. He cited the revolution, the empire, and the restoration—tie revolu tion, humane at first, and cruel afterwards ; the empire at first sage and well ordered, and then despotic and mad after senseless conquests ; and, lastly, the restoratio n , which came in 1815, as it declared, to preserve all lawful rights, and yet violated in 1830 all the rights of the na don. Was the present Government following the example of the three preceding ones ? He should say what it ought to have been, what it had been, and what it now was, and then a judgment could be formed on the subject. He should first examine what its conduct ought to have been at its birth. There were two courses open to it a warlike or a pittific one. A government, young and ardent, taking advantage of the enthusiasm which prevailed in France, and the agitation which pervaded Europe, might endeavour to take a glorious vengeance for the events of 1815, but the result of such a course was doubtful, and that was sufficient to condemn it. The new Government beheld Europe, the higher classes of society, and the Church, withdrawing from it. In such a position, the policy of the Government should have been pacific and moderate, but firm. Europe should have been made to feel that France wished for peace, not from fear but from calculation; the upper classes of society should comprehend that in respecting their position, the Go vernment of the country was not to be rendered subject to them, and that, if they were hostile, it would be maintained with a firm hand; the church should be made to see that in preserving to its dotation and ho nours, no principle was to be sacrificed. In fine, an able and prudent Administration was required—an Adminis tration, placing on a strong basis the navy, army, and finances. On these two conditions, of a peaceful and firm policy, and of a prudent Administration, the new Government could have arrived at the destiny of those officers of fortune who, having become Catinats and Vaubans, marched on an equality with the Condos and Montmorencis.—(Applause.) He might be told that this was what it had been and what it now was; he would reply, " No, it is what it commenced by being, but what it is no longer." What was seen at the origin of the Government? A liberal alliance with Eng land, which upheld the influence of France in Europe. All the statesmen of the day were in accord in endea vouring to put down disorders without effusion of blood; and when the Government demanded 100,000,000 to complete the public monuments and public works, the Chamber gave it them, great as the sum was, with con fidence. The conduct of the Government was then proper and prudent—such, in fact, as suited their situa tion. But afterwards that prudence was changed into a desire to preserve their positions; it became mere inert ness; and complete immovability appeared to govern all their acts. The Hon. Deputy then proceeded to sketch the various circumstances in which this unwillingness to move was manifested. He instanced Spain, where France refused to interfere ; he referred to Belgium, which, from the refusal of France to act, had lost Luxembourg, and the French troops were obliged to evacute Ancona. This last circumstance appeared so heinous that then was formed the coalition, in which M. Guizot, M. Duchatel, and the Duke de Broglie had united to overthrow the Mole ministry. Afterwards came the coolness between France and England. In consequence of the checks which arose from it, France desired to take her revenge, and went to seek it in the east. He had not placed credit in the illusions which were entertained on this point, and, in fine, it came to pass that the Eastern question was lost like the others. What was the proper course to be pursued at the period just alluded to? Evidently to keep apart— in a state of isolation, completely removed from hostility; but it was desired to renew the allegiance, and for that purpose an extension of the right of search was con ceded. The country became greatly agitated in conse quence, and the Government was obliged to demand. back the concessions that were made. Then, to turn the at tention of the public mind in another direction, a lure was thrown out, and the expedition to the Marquesas was devised. Here, again, it was found necessary to re coil, but this time it was not before the country, but be fore England that the withdrawal took place.—(Hear, hear.) Admiral Dupetit-Thouars was disavowed, and an indemnity was granted to the arrogant missionary who had caused the blood of their soldiers to be shed.— (Murmurs.) But this was not all. Worse than this was done. A difference arose between England (the chance ally of France) and the United States, her fun damental ally, and France took the part of England. The very utmost that the Government ought to have done, was to have observed a kindly neutrality.— (Hear, hear.) But from all these concessions, bad France, at least, reaped any advantage ? No. In Syria, where she asked for a little humanity to the Christian populations, her voice was unheard ; and in Greece, where she only desired to see sound policy established, her wishes were thwarted. It was said that peace had been observed. He allowed that peace was a great blessing ; but let the Chamber not forget that on the occasion of the miserable affair of the Marquesas, and at the moment of the Pritchard amend ment, France was nearer war than she had been for 15 years before.—(Marks of denial from the Centres.) The Hon. Deputy here again referred to the state of Spain, and accused the Government of wishing to appear to exercise an influence there, which in reality it did not possess. He referred to cases of Espartero and Narvaez, both of whom were at first supported by the French Government, and then utterly neglected. How, he would ask, was Spain situated at present ? Queen Christina, whom he had been anxious to succour in her distress, and whom he had not flattered in her prosperity, had admitted into her heart a most unjustifiable hatred for the sons of her sister—(Murmurs) --and under the influence of that most lamentable sentiment—(oh, oh,) —had sought in Naples a husband for her daughter in the Count de Trapani.—(Movement.) He had no in tention to give any opinion relative to that candidate, but every one well knew that the choice was impossible; he was opposed by all parties in Spain, and was par ticularly odious to the Moelerado party. By that un ohfepower must b e had b permitted y beehonourable atopredominant say v motives.—(Murmurs.) s o . many—r e(oali reason.—(Renewed thea.sni politicalvue(rß un happy selection, that Queen. whom France could not devise the means of effectually succouring , and whom she had flattered beyond measure, had divided that party, and at present that was the greatest difficulty in Spain.

Whilst some men, and his own p ar ty a mongst others, had separated fro m it, ot h ers h a d j o i ne d it. He was convinced that the greater num b er h a d b een influenced murmurs.

M. TRIERS was glad to find that the Hon. Minister understood his allusion. But though the Government could not answer in all things for its defenders, yet there was between a Ministry and the journals which h defended it, a certain common bond. Whilst of late the opposition press became more moderate, that of the Go vernment became more violent. But that only pro vedlB3o the that the opposition press was in the right. moderate press belonged to the opposition, llvtahwehvaitolheandt one to the Government, and every one taken place. The Hon.

The army, he allowed, was active, ardent, and intelligent, but he denied that it was properly organised ; the recruitment regulations were insufficient, and the cavalry was not certain of procuring horses. In allusion to the state of the finances, he complained of the loans that the State had been forced to contract, and adducing the example of the father of Frederick the Great, who had left his son an army and treasures which enabled him to conquer Silesia, he declared that he could pardon the Govern ment their faults, if they had left treasures sufficient for a similar p ur p ose .—(App ro b a tion from the left.) The MINISTER of F OREIGN AFFAIRS should reply fully to The Hon. Deputy at the next sitting. e Chamber rose in considerable agitation at half past five. FAn.s a On r Thursday, e M ay 28, t h e M INISTER O f F OREIGN AF nded the tribune, and said that, in replying to the observati ons o f the Hon. M. Thiers, he should en adtetaevmoputretd i personaloanvaoiddisacllussion to disparage ; for,. a d whether one or to eulogise on e se lf, t h e effect must be e n e lessenversa r i t e h s e , value of important matters, such as t h e general in terests of mankind, or the affairs of nations. The Hon. Gentleman, in his ob serva ti ons on the policy of the Go vernment since 1830, had divided it into two heads which he had, and the oth er i n w hi c h he had not, one takeonf a part ; the former he had approved of, and the latter he had criticised. He would obse rve , w i t h regard to the former, that in his opinion the Hon. Deputy had not given it the full praise that it deserved, for a policy which, on the morrow of a revolution, in the midst of the greatest agitation, had always remained master of itself, prudent, just, and moderate, must certainly be called a great policy. He must beg the Chamber to excuse him from not following the Hon. Gentleman through all the questions which he had raised, for there were many which it was more desirable to leave for history to record ; for the great re sponsibility falling on a 'minister frequently did not allow him to treat such questions as he might please. With regard to the right of search, he would ask whether, if the Cabinet had fallen under that question, and the Hon. M. Thiers had concluded the convention of the 29th of May, the Opposition would not have regarded it as a great piece of success.— (Murmurs on the left.) The Hon. Gentleman, in allud ing to the conduct of the Government towards Spain, expressed his astonishment, that when the support o the French Government was demanded, the reply should have been to tell her to save herself ; that was, however, what she had been able to accomplish. She had, with out intervention, put an end to the civil war, and esta blished a Constitutional Government. Spain, doubtless, continued to experience many difficulties, but be denied that she was in a declining state ; on the contrary, she was in the way to return to the good principles of prac tical government_ He was surprised to hear the Hon. Gentleman make use of the names of parties connected with Spanish affairs, in a tone of bitterness which could not be made use of when speaking of their own affairs. (Approbation.) The Hon. Minister here passed an eu logium on General Narva-z, who, he observed, had con ferred great benefits on Spain. That officer might have committed great faults, might have yielded to the brutal traditions of his country, but when prudent voices warned him that he was acting wrong, he at once gave way, and remained strictly within the bounds of consti tationa larder. No person ought, therefore, to accuse General Narvaez of having compromised the monarchy of his country. As to Queen Christina, who could tell by what views her mother's heart had been moved in seeking a husband for her daughter ? She had too much good sense, and too much political experience, not to sacrifice any personal feelings of her own to the wel fare of her country. Spain was at present in the hands of men who had given proofs of their devotedness to her interests. What France owed them, and what she de sired to afford them, was her moral support. He should not then pause to answer the observations of M. Thiers relative to Syria, for the question would one of those days be brought forward, and discussed at full length. He must, however, declare that M. Thiers was quite in error when he asserted that France had asked for a little humanity for the Christians of that country, and could not obtain it. Humanity had nothing to do with the matter ; it was altogether a question of organization in the interior of the Lebanon, on which England and France held different opinions. He was convinced that the latter was right, and should be able to prove it when the matter was discussed, but at present he could not allow the question to be mis-stated—to be represented as one of humanity. With respect to Greece, he should be just as brief in his remarks, as he had not long since declared that the whole cause of the difference between France and England, relative to that country, was that they had formed different opinions respecting the cha racter of the Ministry now in power. A difference of opinion might easily exist between the two Govern ments on such a point without leading to any gruve re sults, and this was what had taken pace in the present instance. As to the question of the United States, he certainly did not expect to find it again alluded to in the tribune. Every word that he had ever uttered relative to the United States—every act that he had sanctioned, might be strictly examinvd, and nothing could be found that did not testify to his great consideration and inte rest for that country, He had maintained the inde pendence of the policy of France, as he had thought it fitting for her interest, in a secondary matter ; and in a question of a graver cast, he had been the first to pro • claim a policy which no person in that Chamber could gainsay—a strict and real neutrality, surrounded by every kind of guarantee. Such were the few words which he had deemed it necessary to utter on the foreign policy of the Government. He should now proceed to discuss that of the home administration, and as a preli minary step should observe, that on the accusation that the present Ministry wished for peace at any price, he must declare that they did certainly aim at preserving peace, as the only efficient means of consolidating the power and greatness of the country. But there were two modes of preserving peace ; one was to be uneasy, to fear the possibility of war, to continually demand if it could be preserved—in fact, to show that war was considered probable. This conduct in its turn produced doubt amongst the other powers, and at last the result would be that war would burst out. But there was another mode of preserving peace, which was to do so with confidence, with the conviction that it was to be observed, and that it would issue victoriously from all trials to which it might be subjected. After a lapse of time every one would believe in its continuance, and the favourable opinion thus felt would exercise a most be neficial effect on the country. It was in this way that the present Government preserved peace. Let any one go from that Chamber, and, proceeding through France, listen to what was said, and regard what was done, and then declare if France had not gained strength immeasurably within the last five years.—(Dissent from the left.) " You," said the Hon. Minister, turning to the Opposition benches, " you and your friends are the only persons who do not say so. All others declare the contrary to you ; and this is the only way that we prove in what manner we understand and practise the policy of peace."—(" Hear, hear," from the centre.) 'With regard to the domestic policy of the Government, the first re proach made against it by the Hon. Gentleman was, that it was not a parliamentary government. It had acquired a majority. It was admitted that it had passed through many difficult trials, which it had got over with much success, and yet it was not a parliamentary government —it was a party, and governed as a part;'. If by this it was meant to say that the majority bad acquired a firm ness, an organisation, and a unity which was fitting to it, the Government congratulated itself on it.—(Hear, hear.) The Conservative party, in fact, for the last five years, must be regarded as the principal constitutional force of the country.—(Hear, hear.) A constitutional Government required a majority possess ing those principles, and faithfully following under the same standard. Great efforts and great sacrifices had been made to attain that end.—(Laughter on the left.) As Hon. Members did not appear to understand the sacrifices he alluded to, he would explain that they had sacrificed the dearest friendships, and the warmest allies, i t l e a d m p a r i n o ta du i c u e t d h unity on n of the the sideaCthonesecorvpaptoivsietiopnartwyh. what t T h h a i d i been called a fusion. He considered they were very far from forming a party fit to govern, for they were want ing in the ide as , th e sentiments, the habits, which con stitute such a party. They had, however, started in that read, and he much preferred seeing it so, to wit nessing the disunion, the impuissance, and the inco herence which formerly reigned in the ranks of the opposition.—(Murmurs from the left.) They had done right to constitute themselves into a great party, and to take the Hon. M. Thiers as their leader.—(Loud in terruption on the left.) It was not long since that that Hon. Member designated himself under that character.—(Loud denials from several voices) He should leave that question to be settled among them selves, hut he must be permitted to believe that the ex ample of the Conservative party, and the necessity felt for strengthening themselves, had led to that result, which he should consid« r as a mark of progress which it appeared they had advan2ed as much as thought. The Government was told that;hbeut hadin of repesen by means of corruption, and at the es y Tlie OppositionofePs ne ,"sew it certainly from the r left.) :x nta e g obtained had the majority, but that this adr tative government.—(Cries of it admired confidence th e institutions them.

Undoubtedly not. But it was not alone in the Chamber that the institu tions were in force ; throughout the whole length and breadth of the territory they prevailed —in councils-general, in municipal councils, in the National Guard, everywhere they had their influence, and everywhere the Government had the majority! Well, then, here were free and powerful institutions used by every one at full liberty, and yet Opposition went the • lengths of declaring that they were annihilated by cor ruption! What greater insult could be offered to those institutions and to the country?—(Exclamations from the left.) If amongst the various Governments that had succeeded each other in France, any single one, the em pire for instance, with the immense powers at its dis posal, had endeavoured not to corrupt, but simply to se duce ; he could comprehend its being reproached with exercising an ascendancy over the institutions of the Age. 20 £0 17 3 30 1 1 3 40 1 5 0 50 1 14 1 60 3 2 4 £0 19 1 1 2 7 1 6 9 1 19 10 3 7 0 For One Year.

A liberal Commission to Solicitors and Agents. 7-' //Z connt7y; but in the present day, with the means, now at the service of the Government—so slight, so inferior— to suppose that it could succeed in putting down the great free institutions of France, was certainly going too far. It was certainly quite out of character for the Opposition, who boasted of perfectly understanding the great inte rests, the generous sentiments of the country, to accuse the Government of using corruption by means of to• bacco shops and supernumaries' places, and of obtaining by such insignificant instruments the great results at which it has arrived; that surely was not possible—it was an insult to the country to suppose it.—(Sensation.) He was well aware how the Opposition explained this anomaly; they said the country slumbered—was indif ferent—allowed matters to take their course. The re storation was not very far from the present time ; the Government then disposed of more numerous means of influence than at present—the liberties of the country were less extensive and less active. But the country did not slumber, nor did it remain indifferent. And why? Because it distrusted the Government, and was uneasy respecting its principles--for that reason it became vigi lant and on the defensive. Why was the country not in the same state of alarm now? Because it was quite satisfied as to the principles of the Government which held the reins of power ; and, being so, it tranqully transacted its daily business. Let not then Hon. Gen tlemen attribute to administrative manoeuvres such great results. Between the Government and the Opposition the country had to choose, and it preferred the former, and that was the sole cause of the former's force. He should now come to another reproach raised by the Hon. M. Thiers against the domestic policy of the Go vernment—that of falsifying the representative system. The policy practised by the Government was every day attacked ; it was stated to be retrograde and counter revolutionary at home, and weak and humiliating abroad; and, after thus stigmatising the policy of the Govern ment,Opposition t wa ssai wouldd that have it fa w ll a a s w n e o d t t h i t e s s o a w m n e , e a e n a d r s t e h , a i tt might the g h t have been in its place. That was the language that had been made use of : but it was evident that in that case the responsibility was not misplaced. The Hon. M. Tillers had certainly too much experience not to ts l h ( t n aeet o eni w neet t e h r a ces t xt g er o oc o fi d set i hd netentions did not always prevent bad consequences. H e a d m i tte d the right which the Hon. Gentleman had c l a i me d to examine into the in fluence h d tt h then, b ht y ht a ought the urgi gh right i t ff bae e e r enhneut used dad, powers of the country, and under certain circum s stance ; s. hu I circumstances, i n a manner conformablya n u e dt n o d u t o e s t e r b e te x:i f e s ti f n o g r prin ciple of a repre s ent at i ve Government, in terests of the country ? They were all labouring to found a monarchical establi s h ment. This was the fourth attempt within 50 years. There was the monarchy of 1791 ; the imperial monarchy of 1804 ; that of the re storation ; and, lastly, that of 1830. They were, therefore, engaged in their fourth attempt, and that provtd two things ; that a monarchy was necessary, since it was always returned to ; and, at the same time, that it was very difficult to establish it on a firm and durable basis. He believed that the last of the four monarchies he had mentioned offered the best condi tions of success. If France had been told in 1830 that at the end of 15 years she would find herself in the situation in which she was now placed, she would have congratulated herself more than she did at a moment when she had extricated herself from a state of anarchy. But, in founding a durable and solid monarchy, it was not too much to find, in addition to the energetic assis tance of all the great powers of the state, that of the Crown equally with the rest, and it was a great happiness for the present monarchy at its very commencement to meet with in the Crown so much wisdom, firmness, and devotedness to the country.—(Applause, and murmurs on the left.) What he had just uttered was repeated com a on'y, not only in France, but throughout the whole world, and he could not see any just reason why he should be prevented from proclaiming it in that assembly.— (Renewed applause.) There was much difference of .pinion as to the duties of advisers of the Crown. For his part, he believed that the duties of Ministers in a mona-chy were to maintain the accord between the great powers of the state ; not to make one preponde rate over the other, but to maintain an equilibrium be tween them, to bring them to the same desire, the same will. In order to effect this, it was necessary for them to treat with all, with the Crown as with the Chambers, to make them accept the conditions of common accord. This wts the light in which he regarded representative government.—(Hear, hear.) In order to perform the p p o a s r s t e w ss hi m ch ue h h e i h ad ad ep h e e n r d e en po ee in . pointed e ou h t, ad iv it l wa e s d Governments, many of whom he had served, and he necessary mryant to was confident that no one had ever found him either servile or complaisant.—.(Whispering.) He had, he confessed, much respect for the powers which governed the country, and if he happened to find himself opposed to one of them, far from allowing them to see it, he was anxious to conceal it. It was not proper to make the country acquainted with those intestine struggles; the weaknesses of the powers should be concealed. He would never allow his vanity to be gratified by such conduct, at the expense of his independence.—(Move ment.) There was another point which separated him from M. Thiers : it was this, that in his opinion the duty of the councillors of the Crown was, to attribute to the Crown all that it did of good, but never to assign to if anything of evil. The Crown was never responsible for what was ill; it was it that effected every good. The Marquis de LAROCHEJAQUELIN.—And 1830 ! (Laughter.) - _ The MINISTER Of FOREIGN AFFAIRS was well aware that in all times and countries there were Crown coun cillors, who endeavoured to elevate themselves by pur suing a different course ; such conduct neither snited his taste nor his sense of duty. He believed, on the con trary, that it was his duty to stand aside before the Crown.—(" Yes, yes.") By such conduct he considered himself dignified—(Hear, hear)—he considered the other course vulgar, and he would have none of it. —(Movement.) He was convinced, that if he some day deserved a place in the remembrance or gratitude of his country, he should not be deprived of it by his deference to the Crown. Such was his way of understanding the consitutional monarch and the duties of councillors of the Crown in such Government. These were the re marks which he had considered it necessary to make to the observations of M. Thiers on the foreign and do mestic policy of the country. There were two or three other points to which he should deem it necessary to ad vert, but, in order to do so, he must request permission from the Chamber to take a few minutes' repose.— (" Yes, yes.") The sitting was then suspended, and on the Hon. Minister descending from the tribune, he was immedi ately surrounded by his friends, apparently congratulat ing him on his speech. After the lapse of about a quarter of an hour, he again ascended the tribune. The MINISTER of FOREIGN AFFAIRS should briefly conclude, as he was nearly at the limit of his strength, and probably had worn out the patience of the Chamber. —(" No.") The name of the President of the Council had been incidentally mentioned the day before by M. Thiers. That noble name shared in all the responsibility of the Cabinet, which was but too proud to have the illustrious warrior at its head. As long as the Noble Marshal should be pleased to lend his name, as long as he lived, the Cabinet would most anxiously endeavour to keep him at their head, convinced that under no greater name could a policy of peace be carried out. —(Hear, hear.) He passed to another point mentioned by the Honourable Gentleman, to what he called the tendency of the Government and its weakness towards the legitimist party and the clergy. No doubt the Government had much esteem for the Hon. Members of that great party—and these men were numerous—and had great consideration for their social position, their sentiments, and their ideas.—(Movement.) The Govern ment had shown that it knew how to come to an under standing with M. Tbiers to repeal the hostility of a party But it was also the desire of the Gcvernment, as well as its policy, to draw round it men of the legitimist party. He dissembled nothing ; he called things by their names, and used no disguise , It had been a great misfortune for the French nobility that they did not know how to to a ,s i heh they were entitled,ssim,eithatpartinthepol T political interests had donetheirrestsof conn nothing try but live in the isolation of their estates, or the subser viency of courts. The Marquis de LAROCIIEJAQUELIN—And on the field of honour ! The MINISTER Of FOREIGN AFFAIRS—Yes, most nobly, and most patriotically I But the intelligence of the policy of the country had always been wanting to them. It was the middle classes that had been obliged to conquer, step by step, all the liberties of the country— it was to the t a th a t F rance owe d everything I The middle classes had given since 1814, noble proofs of courage and intelligence ; they had in 1830, founded for ever the free Representative Government, but they were well aware that all the benefits, all the honours, all the glories of that Government were not reserved for them alone—that they belonged equally to the old French nobility whenever they wished to join them, and to the people, in proportion as it raised itself, and fulfilled the conditions of its accession to political life. What he desired and hoped most anxiously was to see such French subjects who hitherto had taken no part in political life, either through an unjust disdain, or through ignorance, form ing themselves by the proper apprenticeship, and taking their places on the benches of political rights. That was the idea of the Government respecting the Legiti mist party —an idea alike honourable to both parties. As to the clergy, the Ministry had not the slightest notion of, in any way delivering up to it either the go vernment or the education of youth. He had been the first to declare that the two grand conquests of the Revolution of July were, that the state was laid, and that education was free, and to that principle the Ca binet would firmly adhere. M. Thiers bad also touched on the home administration, the army, and the finances. If any foreigner should chance to travel through France, he (M. Guizot) believed that the country would not ap pear to him so badly administered as the Hon. Gentle man seemed to intimate. The army had been defini tively fixed as to numbers three yetus back, and M. Thiers was as well aware as any one how usefully it had been employed in the great work of domination in Africa. He (NI. Guizot) looked on Algeria as destined to increase immensely the grandeur of France in the world, and he should be most unwilling to weaken in any way the means by which the end was to be effected. As to the finances and public works, the Ministers of these departments would answer all objections when their budgets were under discussion. It was that the finances at present supported a heavy burden, but the Government felt convinced that they would issue with honour from their critical situa.ion. "I have now," said the Hon. Minister, in conclusion, " I bel i e v e , re• plied to all the p o i nts alluded to by M. Thiers, and con jointly with the regret which I have felt at so general and sharp an attack against the Government, I avow that I feel a profound sentiment of satisfaction, and for this reason—that at present, when all is calm and tranquil around us, when prosperity prevails at home and security abroad, we may, without the slightest inconvenience, subject all the acts of the Go ' vernment, to the um t rigid scrutiny. M. Thiers and I myself have not always met in our encounters under ) so serene, so calm, a heaven; we have often, in our
