A liberal Commission to Solicitors and Agents. . 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 agricultural wealth. The two great Presidencies of Madras and Bombay will be brought within a few hours' journey of each other, and not months, as here tofore; and, in lien of vessels making a long and dangerous voyage of some 5,400 miles halfround the entire peninsula of India, their castly 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 ad 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 lough 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 eau 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 2'l. a ton, and the charge by rail of 2d 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 itwill at Madras, and taking in its course Arcot, Vellore, Banglore, Oscotta, Bangalore, Sera, Dodairee, Hurrioor, Ghittledroog, Myacunda, Anagee, Hurryhur, Shahnoor, Hullyhall, Hoobly, Darwar, Taloor, Gohauk, Rybaugh, Meeruj, Kola poor, Satara, Poona, Poonah, Tulligaon, Singlmr, 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 careful calculation, will yield an ample per centage 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. _ UNITED KINGDOM LIFE 3SURANCE COMPANY, 8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL•MALL, LONDON.

For the last flfteen 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, (1 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. 1 resolved on having 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.

No deviation or suggestions of outf i tters should b e 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 i ts class, is a very good b oo k , b u t it is too verbose and bulky, and cont a i ns b es id es a vas t d e al of doubt less well meant, but wholly extraneous matter. The present ` Guide' is written by all experienced and talented officer of the Madras Ca valry, influenced wholly by a desire to save parents much useless expense in iho 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 these 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 circulation of his book will assuredly very far pro mote this beneficial object. Ills 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 young 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 P:lend of India Magazine and Indian Review.

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. Guizat'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 he 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 oppoaition. In his opinion, a reaction had been for some years going on, not of a vio lent character, for such goulci not,„take place in Abe present times, 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 attackel 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 months 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—Cie 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 restoration, which came in 1815, as it declared, to preserve all lawful rights, and yet violated in 1830 all the rights of the na tion. 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 ,hat its conduct ought to have baen at its birth. There were two courses open to it a warlike or a pacific 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 aas 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 Condei and Montinorencis.—(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 ip 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, is 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 ha 4 observed a kindly neutrality.— (Hear, hear.) But from all these concessions, had 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 torget 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 possesi. 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 Moderado party. By that 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. But to return to the policy pursued in France. For some years a change had been gradually going on in the majority. Whilst some men, and his own party amongst others, had separated from it, others had joined it. He was convinced that the greater number had been influenced by honourable motives.—(Murmurs.) But he must be permitted to say that to many the attraction of power had been a predominant reason.—(Renewed. murmurs. What was the consequence of this change? Formerly the Government confined itself to defend ing itself against parties; it was, in fact, with hesi tation that it ventured to avow a candidate at the elections. At present the Government, far from limiting its action to self-defence, assumed the offensive, and the result of this conduct would be that in a short time the administration would be nothing else than a political in strument. He admitted, however, the right of the Go vernment to defend itself, but it ought to do so with some reserve—it ought to impose some reserve on its defenders. The MINISTER of FOREIGN AFFAIRS.—The Govern ment could not answer for newspaper articles. 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, let there was between a Ministry and the journals which 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 proved that the opposition press was in the right. In 1830 the moderate press belonged to the opposition, the violent one to the Government, and every one knew what had taken place. The Hon. Deputy then reproached the Cabinet with departing from the national party to draw closer to the legitimist and religious one. He said that, though the journey to London to see the Duke, of Bordeaux was attacked so violently by the Go vernment in the Chamber, yet it showed it self very accommodating afterwards with the le gitimist party, when the great question of na tional education was at stake. The lion. Deputy then ' referred to the state of the navy, army, and finances. , He accused the Government of allowing the navy to fall PitICE SD. to ruin, and said that had nut the Chambers interfered it would have done nothing. The army, ho allowed, was active, ardent, and intelligentrbut 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 e,rmy 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 purpose.—(Approbation from the left.) The MINISTER of FOREIGN AFFAIRS should reply fully to the Hon. Deputy at the next sitting. The Chamber lose in considerable agitation at half past five. On 'Thursday, observations d ns th o e f tribune, May 28, the MINISTER Of FOREIGN Ae iFlAi ri o s b s a e s . a n .a d f. s T ai i cl a e t t, he e n r s e h p o l u y l i d n g to en deavour to cee attempted in a discu ss i on to dispata ; one's adversaries, or to-eulogise one s e lf, th e effect intia'` be to lessen the value of important matters, such as the general in terests of mankind, or th e a ff a i rs of nations.' The ri o tt, Gentleman, in his observations en the policy of the (Go vernment since 1830, had divided it into two heads, one of which he had, and the ether in which he had not, taken a part ; the former he had approved of, and the latter he had criticised. He would observe, with 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 lion. Gentleman through all the questions which ho had raised, for there ..were many which it - was More desirable to `leave for history to record ; for the greet 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, exprettied 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 lo 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 d ec li n i ng s t a t e ; on th e 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 ea logium on General Narvanis, 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 ho was acting wrong, he at once gave way, and remained strictly within tire bounds of consti tutiona 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 sac: tice 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 net 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. Ile 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 betweeia 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 grave re sults, and this was what had taken place in the present instance. As to the question of the United States, he certainly did not expect to fine-it again alluded to in the tribune- _Every word that he load ever uttered relative to the United States—every act that ho had sanctiiineff, - might be strictly examined; 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, proceedin g through France, listen to what was said, and regardwhat 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 had acquired a firm ness, an organisation, and a unity which was fitting to it, the Government congratulated itself on it.—(llear, hear.) The Conservative party, in fact, for the last five years, must be regarded as the principal constitutional force of the country.—(Bear, 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, to maintain the unity of the Conservative party. This had produced on the side of the Opposition what had been called a fusion. He considered they were very far from forming a party fit to govern, for they were want ing in the ideas, the 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 oppos • ition —(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 lion. Member designated himself under that character.—(Loud denials from several voices.) He should leave that question to be settled among them selves, but he must be permitted to believe that the ex ample of the Conservative party, and the necessity felt for strengthening themselves, ad led to that result, which he should consider as a mark of progress; but in which it appeared they had advanced as much as he had thought. The Government was told that it certainly had the majority, but that this advantage was obtained by means of corruption, and at the expen se of represen tative government.—(Cries of "Y e s, yes," from the left.) The Opposition allowed that it had confidence in the institutions of the country, and that it admired them. But had not these institutions been in force for the last 15 years ? Was not every one in his place ? Was not the combat that was going on between the several par ties regulated by these institutions ? And when a new species of liberty had been admitted—that of public voting in the Chamber—had the Government and the Conservative party suffered from it ? Undoubtedly not. But it was not alone in the Chamber that the institu tions were in force • t h roug hout the whole length and breadth of the territory they prevailed—in coun cils-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 ' 1 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 fir instance, with-the immense powers at its dis posal, had endeavoured not to corrupt, but simply to se ance ; he could comprehend its being reproached with exercising an ascendancy over the institutions of the county; but in the present day, with the means now it 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 charaeter for the Opposition, who boasted ef perfectly understanding the great inter rests, the generous sentiments of the country, to accuse the Government of using corruption by means of to- bacco shops arid supernumaries' places, and of obtaining by such insignificant instruments ,the pleat results at which it has Etfriiedi that surely *as 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 mean: 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? principle s —f or t h at reason i t b ecame v i g i- Because it dist ruste d the Government, and was uneasy respecting its Lint and on the defensive. Why was the country not in the same state of alarm now? Because it was quite as e to s of po w erthe principles n aa, of b th ei e ng Government eni i t w I tranquilly s t l e t l ifi d s th e d e ein transacted its daily imesiness. 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. Ile should now come to another reproach raised by the llon. M. Thiers against the domestic policy of the Go vernment—that of falsifyine 6 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 stigma , ising the policy of the Govern ment, it was said that it was not its own, and that if the Opposition would have followed the same course . , it might liave been in its place. That was the language that had been made use of : but it was evident that in that ease the responsibility was not misplaced. Tne Hon. M. Thiers had certainly too much experience not to know that good intentions did not always prevent bad consequences. He admitted the right which the Hon. Gentleman had claimed to examine into the in fluence exercised by the different powers .of the state ; but that right ou h b g t to e made use of for the interest of the country, and under certain circum stances. Had, then, that right been used, under existing circumstances, in a manner conformably to the pr:rx esltitse of a representative Government, an d to theiii-s": terests of the country ? They were all labouring to_ found a monarchical establishment. This was the fourth attempt within 50 years. There was the monarchy of 1791 ; the imperial monarchy of 1894 ; that of the re storation ; and, lastly, that of 1830. They were, therefore, engaged in their fourth attempt, and that proved 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 st 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 otfy, 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 opinion as to the duties of advisers of the Crown. For lis part, he believed that the duties of Ministers in a monarchy 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 ascept the conditions of common accord. This wes the light in which he regarded representative government.—(Hear, hear.) In order to perform the part which he had here pointed out, it was necessary to possess much independence. He had lived under many Governments, many of whom he had served, and he 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 ace 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 luty of the councillors of the Crown was, to attribute to he Crown all that it did of good, but never to assign to S anything or evil. The Crown was never responsible for what was ill; it was it that effected every good. The Marquis de LAROCUEJAQUELIN.—And 1830 l-- (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 suited his taste no; his sense of duty. He believed, on the con-.. trary, that it was his duty to stand aside before the Grown.—C Yes, yes.") , suoli'dorninet he-considatved himself dignified—(lleac', 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 constitutional 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 U. 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. Thiers to repeal the hostility of a party But it was also the desire of the Government, as well as its policy, to draw round it men of the legitimist party. lie 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 assume that part in the political interests of their country to which they were entitled, They had done nothing but live in the isolation of their estates, or the subser viency-of courts. The Marquis de LAROCREJAQUELIN—And on the field of honour ! ' The MINISTER Of FOREIGN AFFAIRS—Yes, mostnobly, and most patriotically ! 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 them that France owed every thing 1 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 w e r e not reserved for them alone—that they belonged equally to the old French nobility whenever they wished t., 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 had 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 lion. Gentle man seemed to intimate. The army bad been defini tively fixed as to numbers three yeaas 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 (M. Guizot) looked on Algeria as dettined 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 situation. "I have now," said the Hon. Minister, in conclusion, " I believe, re plied to all the points alluded to by M. Thiers, and con jointly with the regret whichd 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, w e may, without the slightest e, 1 inconvenience, subject all th LAS of • the- Go vernment to the most rigid scrutiny. M. Thiers and myself have not always met in our encounters under so FP.rene, so calm, a heaven ; we have often, in our Express.
