One of those Journals which were never favourable in Lord ALTIIORP denied that the Government gave an t h e i r re p o r s of what fell from Hon.

The real reason was, Isis observations as to make it appear that he was opposed that finding it necessary to give Members to a greater unni to the granting of two additional Members to the county o f tier of boroughs than they origin a lly propose d , they had Lincoln.

(For some minutes it mt.? imposs ble to hear the Hon. Gentle- ninn on account of the noise in the House. . The Chair• man called repea!edly to the Serjeant to request Hon.

He was not one of those who courted factious and partial journals.—(Hear, hear.) He never wrote his speeches out, and sent them to the newspapers.—(Hear, hear, hear, and laughter.) He did not court the journals that they might make up for the deficiencies of his arguments, or gloss over the inelegance of his language.—(Hear.) So help him God ! he would not be deterred from exerting the utmost of his humble powers in the defence of his con stituents—(Cheers, and a laugh)—notwithstanding (as we understood him) the inattention of the House, and the negligence or partiality of the Press.—(Hear, hear, hear.) If he were to go out of the House with only five Members at his side, he would divide the House. Sir W. INGILBY was sure that nobody could intend to interrupt the Hon. and Gallant Member (Colonel Sib thorpe), e,peei!elly when he was speaking upo❑ the case of the county of Lincoln, respecting which no one could be more qualified to give information to the House than the Gallant Colonel. But with all deference to his Gallant Friend, he (Sir W. Ingilby) would say, that although there was in the northern division of Lincolnshire a very great aristocratical influence, yet be did not think it was so predominate as to be able to determine the retur❑ even of one Member. But in the southern division, he did not think there was any predominant influence whatever. There were a great number of landowners in that part not subject to any such influence. He thought that the divi sion of Lincoln into two districts was necessary, on the same principles on which it had been thought expedient to divide Yorkshire into three districts. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES was understood to acquiesce in the division. Mr. CROKER requested his Gallant Friend (Colonel Sibthorpe) not to persevere in his opposition to the clause, after the decisio❑ to which the House had come on the preceding evening. Lord MILTON supported the clause. Colonel SIBTIIORPE said that it was impossible to resist the phalanx of the Noble Lord, and be, therefore would not press the question to a division. Mr. WILKS thought it desirable that as little as pos sible should be left to the discretion of the Commissioners, and that as much as possible should be decided by the House. He thought it objectionable that it should rest with the Commissioners to appoint where the elections should take place. Lord ALTHORP thought that the appointment of the , e places was a matter of very minor imp;;rtance. Mr. ADEANE thought that the proposition as to the division of Lincoln was most fair and proper, and more so than the divisions of the ridings of Yorkshire. The clause was then agreed to, giving Lincolnshire four Members. On clause 12 being proposed, that freeholders for each division bbould vote as for counties, with the same rights, Sir E. SUGDEN wanted to know what was the use of this clause ? If it was meant by it that a man possessing a freehold in division 1 should not also vote in division 2, be conceived that that point was too clear to require a clause to explain it. Or, on the other hand, was it meant, that if a man possessed a freehold in both divisions, he should also have a vote for both divisions ? During these remarks of the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman, the Committee was in a great state of confusion, in consequence of which The CHAIRMAN at length rose, and said that he must call on the Committee to assist him in keeping order.—(Hear, hear,) Sir E. SUGDEN said, that he trusted the confusion would not be misunder stood, and it would not be said that an attempt had been made to put him down by clamour, —(Herr, hear.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman was then proceeding with an argument, the purport of which waa, as we understood, to show that under the arrange ment of this clause the forty-shilling freeholders would have greater advantages than the large freeholders ; but owing to the confusion that still prevailed, we are not quite sure that we understood the intention of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's argument. At length The CHAII:MA N again called the Committee to order. Colonel SIBTHORPE said, that if there was any fur ther interruption, he should feel it to hi his duty to move the atljaurnment of the debate.—(Hear, hear.) Sir E. SUGDEN then again resumed. This clause showed the danger of calling the House to legislate with out knowing in what manner the counties were to be di vided; because it depended upon what towns and boroughs were placed in each division, whether the rest of the county representation would not be altogether swamped by the town and borough forty-shilling freeholders. He never could agree that the mischief which really belonged to the borough should be suppressed there and carried into the country to which it had no right to belong. Lord ALTHORP interrupted the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. lie was stating objections to the 16th-clause, to which he had some amendments to propose, and he hoped that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would post pone his remarks till he had heard those amendments. Sir E. SUGDEN thanked the Noble Lord for his sug gestion, and would not make any observations on that clause. It was, however, necessary to have somebody to give a general explanation of such particulars. He would only further say, that it would he necessary that flip pro perty which was to give a right of voting should be described. Lord ALTIIORP acknowledged the value of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's suggestions. It was the object of the Bill to give freeholders and copyholders the tight of voting in towns, and to exclude the freeholders of towns from voting for the county. The object of that was to give the country gentlemen an influence which they did rat now possess. The wish was to draw a line of dis tinction between the town and the country representation. The Noble Lord also stated, that if a man h id two free holds in different parts of Lincolnshire, he would be as much entitled to vote for the two representatives in each as if he had a freehold in Northampton and Lincolnshire. That statement would also reply to the question, whether a man was to have a vote for every freehold he might pos sess in every county. It was intended to exclude from noting non-residents in boroughs, but not non-resident freeholders. He bad wished also to take away the votes from non-resident freeholders, but that was found im possible. Sir Charles Wetherell, Sir George Clerk, Mr. Cutlar Ferguson, the Solicitor-General, and Sir E. Sugden, en tered into a conversation on a technical point, and as to the mode of proceeding. Lord ALTHORP stated, that to meet the views of the Learned Gentlemen, he would not bring forward to-mor row any clauses which were liable to objection. He would consent to withdraw the clause then under consideration. considering that it was not of great importance, and per haps not necessary, as the matter was provided for by the satisfaction in Ireland, which was to have but a very small addition, and because he did not think that the wealth and influence of those countries demanded any such addition. Mr. LE E contended, •that, even with the addition of one Member, Cambridgeshire woultl not have its fair share o] . - representatives. A s it was at present arranged, Cambridge would have but five Members, but he hoped that Govern ment would take into its consideration the claims of the very flourishing town of Wisbeach. By giving it one Member, Cambridgeshire would have a representative for every 23,800 persons, which would he somewhat more in proportion with that of the other counties of England. Mr. THROCKMORTON said a few words in favour of the clause. Mr. C. FERGUSON could not consent to the proposal of the lion. Baronet, but he hoped the claims of Scotland would be duly considered. Sir G. MURRAY agreed with the Noble Lord (Al thorp), that the balance between the, agricultur a l and ma nufacturing interests would be improved by the clause, and therefore he would support it; but he begged to observe, that the same arguments would be found to apply with equal force to Scotland. Lord MILTON said, that Scotland might consider the whole of her fifty Members to be given to her by the Bill, for he believed, with the exception of the Stirling district, there was not at present a free election from one end of that kingdom to the other. With respect to the clause before the House, he objected to it, inasmuch as the seven coun ties to which it was proposed to give an additional Member were not the most important on which that privilege could be conferred. A desultory conversation followed, in which a number of lion. Members participated, as to the clauses which should be considered this day. It appeared to be under stood that only those which were the least important should be brought into discussion. Eventually, the motion for filling up the blink with the word " three," was agreed to, and the House having resumed, The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and obained leave to sit again this day. Mr. GRATTAN moved the second reading of the Judicial Officers' (Ireland) Bill. Sir G. CLERK objected to the extraordinary and unusual manner in which this Bill had been brought in, when the election for Dublin was pending. lie complained that it had been introduced without notice—that it was directed against the Recorder of Dublin (Mr. Shaw)_ that it had been introduced at two o'clock in the morning, and only ten hours after the Select Committee had de clared that the Members recently returned for that city had forfeited their seats. It was now, at nearly two o'clock, proposed to read the Bill a second time. He objected most strenuously to this, and moved that the Hon. Member for Wicklow's (Mr. Grattan) motion should be postponed to that day fortnight. Mr. GRATTAN said he would consent to , ne his j poitpol motion until Monday ; and the Hon. Baronet was mis taken—he had given notice. It did not relate solely to the Recorder of Dublin ; it affected all Recorders ; arm, indeed, it could nut interfere with the election of Mr. Shaw, for it would be impossible for it to - pass into a law before the termination of the election. He further H o oppositeuse were remaining, con tendedinc that th e d ut i es o f R ecorder of Dublin and a Mem ber ot . that incompatible. to ble their [io dl ?: knowledge to Hun.

Mr. RICE was in the House when the Bill was iotro duced ; he assured the Hon. Baronet no trick was in tended : nor small as was the House, and late the hour, vr„uld any have been permitted. lie had rot read the Bill, b u t he was satisfied it was not dircted against any Sir R. INGLIS showed, from a passage in the that it did refer particularly to the case of the Recorder of Dublin, and moved that the Bill be read that day six months. Sir C. WETHERELL seconded the motion, and ob served that the Bill might properly be styled a Bill to ex clude Mr. Shaw from Parliament. Mr. GRATTAN expressed his willingness to withdraw the Bill. Mr. HUME and Mr. RUTIIVEN objected to the with drawal of the 8111, thinking that the objectionable part of it, :elating to a part:eular individod, might he set ri A lit the Committee. They would prefer having it negatived at once, that it might be known who voted against it. Mr. RICE declared that he for one would voto against it, as he found that it did bear particulatly against the Recorder for Dublin. Mr. LEFROY remarked that the Bill would not even answer the purpose it professed, of keeping the Lim:older of Dublin out of Parliament, since he might sit for a ny town or borough in Great Britain. The Bill was withdrawn. Loid ALTHORP moved for a Select Committee to consider the charges from the Civil Government of the United Kingdom, heretofore defrayed from the Civil List, and remaining to be provided for. He gave notice that he would not consent to have the pensions from the Civil List overhauled by this Committee; but hoped no objec tion would be taken to his motion on this account, as those lion. Members who differed with him on the subject might with equal advantage bring the question under con sideration at a future period. Mr. GORDON seconded the motion, but at the same time gave notice he would, on Thursday next, move chat the pensions be submitted to the Committee, being, as he was, desirous to have the question debated in that House The motion was then agreed to, and the Committee appointed. The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past Two. Mr. Hunt (yesterday, the hlth) presented a petition from 3000 of the electors of Preston, praying for a repe a l o f th e C o rn Laws, stating that these laws were passed in 1815 at the point of the bayonet ; that they were iniquitous, unjust, partial, oppressive, inhuman, and unnatural. The petitioners also - cautoned the House against refusing to take their complaints into deliberation, in order to remove all restrictions on the free importation of Corn.

The new romance entitled " The Young Duke," by the author of " Vivian Grey," is " a moral tale though gay." The same brilliancy and wit that lent such a charm to his former work likes ise characterize this pro duction. The career of " The Young Duke," is traced from his coining into possession of an enormous fortune and plunging into all tke extravagant enjoyments by which knav - ca surround the young and opulent. By the advice of a certain Sir Cute Blanche (a capital portrait of a living architect) he is induced to poll down the lordly mansions of his ancestors, and rebuild them in the gorgeous, but ef feminate, taste of the present day. He makes lavish pro posals to a prima donna for whom he fits up a palace in all the profusion of eastern luxury. And then, in order to prove " a noble contempt kr assets," bets heavily at Ascot, where, of course, he is gloriously fleeced, and sits for too days and nights together at the hazard table of a certain " subscription house" in St. James's-street, finding himself at his rising not only exhausted and destitute of self respect, but also a loser to an am&unt sufficient for the foundation of a noble house. till Tuesday. Mr. CROKER also suggested the propriety of not meeting to-morrow. Lord ALTHORP agreed that some of the clauses ought to be printed, but at the same time those clauses ought to be explained to-morrow.

After some c,.nrersation as to wi.ether it ,houhl not be first c•unmuninatrd in the Standing Cotnrnittze ; this tpes th-m was deei , led in the tfPrmative, and the Merniwra cc tired to the Cortimittee-roonvi. the address, has been already publi s h e d. The Sitting havine been resumed, 'Cie resisie.ent read A discussion then enst.;e. as to the question whether tile address should not be printed, and iiena , Riren to Hen. De ti ies to consider it before the general deinefe Came on. Several Members were decidedly in favour of delay rer flactior. The Chamber, upon the question 'wir; put, d tided that the address should be printed, but that the di s ee.: o ;o o nevertheless should ern inistediately. M. Casiniir Feder said—Gentlemen, at the raiment in which the Chamlier is about to express its opinicts en the system and acts of the Ministry, it will be permitted me to 111:ike known the line of politics ane have followed since Sci end of the last session, in order that the Chamber inay 'appreciate tile nantives, and call to remendaaance th e results. It was not as s:!inster that, only a few (lees ago, I counted on appearing-in place. Too often, 'amine, five months, have the spirit arid ton:duet ' of our Administration been attempted to be injures! in the eyes of France, by nteans of unjust interpreta tions. But recollect, gentlemen, untlet what circum stances potter was intrusted 'to the Minisirsi fstmed on the 13th of Marc!,. On all sides our situation was stof-ehre and discouraging, and perhaps it is only necessary to re tnetnher that we dared to brave the eirl i Santsieament of that situation, and to present to you a faithful picture of what France was at that epoch, and what she is at the present moment. Our acts, which have been accomplished, re ply to you for the p ist. Now, Gentiemen s it is of the po litical system which dictated these acts that s;-si tee de *irons of speaking in your presence, easier to convince -yet that that system alone mold ensure for the future the re sults obtained in the period elapsed. That system, which we do not fi fitter ourselves, with having intainted, because a political system is not invented, is to be found weitten in the nature of things; and what is that system ? In our interior affairs it is the Charter, the whole Charter, and nothing but the Charter. In borrowing these words from an illustrious friend whom France regreta, I find in them our political symbol. Yrs, gentlemen, it is to the sacred boundaries of the Charter of 1830 that we have limited the exercise of our authority; we are desirous of going to its utmost ihnits, hut never to go beyond them. Did the revolution of July desire more than the Charter ? No one dares so. It came, not to recommence, but to terminate our first revolution ; nor was it a signal given to France and to the world, calling upon all to engage in hazardous experiments, and in terminable combats. It ought to assure not a defini tive Government, and the Charter is the only programme of that Government. What then is necessary to be faith ful to the object of the Revolution of July ? To put the Charter loyally and frankly into execution. Well, gentle men, that is what we have done. Two things are now comprised in the political code, they are, the laws already made and these to be made. As to the first, they have been faithfully observed, and of that you yourselves are witnesses, for one of these laws has called you to sit in this Chamber, and you know how loyally its smallest in tentions h ive been put in execution. The same thing has taken place with regard to the other not less important laws which have the elections for their principle. That of the N itional Guard has already been carried into effect throughout nearly all France, and the one relative to the organization of the municipalities is also on the point of being put in practice. As to the laws to be passed, they will be immediately submitted to you, and it will not be our fault if the present Session does not fulfil the promises of the sixty-ninth article of the Charter. Let us not de ceive ourselves ; beyond the Charter, beyond the Con stitutional Royalty, that is to say, beyond the Government of the three poweis which concur in the making of all the laws and institutions, there is nothing which really belongs to the Revolution of July. It stepped there, and all that was sought to be given you beyond this, as the conse quences of that revolution, are on'y the first fruits of a new one. Now France loudly and dailydeclerea that it entertains a horror for all new revolutions. In proceeding thus from consequence to consequence, where should we arrive ? At the destruction of society. Unfortunately are we, if, °he dient to a blind logic, our eyes constantly fixed on a chime rical futurity, we neglect the fruit of our victories to run incessantly after impracticable conquests! Let a recent example he constantly before us. How did the restoration lose itself? Through those who called themselves its only friends, through their insatiable demands, and through the consequences of Divine right. Gentlemen, it is only in resisting while it is yet time this invasion of conse quences always demanded by imprudent friends, that new Government can establish for itself a firm futurity. France has this desire, for she has now need of repose and stability. Alter the immense interval she has passed through during the space of a year, what she has need of is to take breath. Her habits, as you may often remark, are yet in arrear of bier laws, and it is only in a distant futurity that she will find insufficient the institutions which she has just obtained. It is then necessary to pre serve her from that too precocious increase which ener vates and destroys the social body. In that lays the duty try colleagues add I have impossd on ourselves, and it is to that severe and laborious mission we have devoted our selves. Now, gentlemen, it is for you to complete our work. During your absence we have been able to undertake and maintain a difficult contest; but now, when you are assembled, we can do nothing without the concurrence of your efforts and confidence. Power exists only in the harmony maintained be tween the depositories of authority and the repre sentatives of the nation, and that harmony must be complete ; for, were it in the smallest degree doubt- I ful, where would be the force—where the support of an Administration constantly exposed to the mercy of carom_ seen votes? Under such conditions we should consider ourselves culpable were we any longer to remain in pos session of 'stover. The confidence of the King cannot he separated from your's. In effect, before that alliance, and before that alone, will fall those parties who are now in ac tivity to trouble the repose of France. If they possess eny strergth it does not proceed from themselves, but from the defect of power—that is to say, from the want of unanimity in authority. I shall stop na longer to speak to you, gentlemen, of the desi gns , ill us i ons, and attempts of these vat ious parties. There is one which, without attacking the laws by open force, has done nothing to the present time to dissipate the distrust which it inspires. Keeping itself out of the movement of society, it disturbs the mass by a sort of mysterious inertness, which leaves room for sincere or stimulated hopes. The partisans of a no longer existing dynasty hare essayed to create distur bancesiseirste precautionsn for hei r o nutb object, born adopted. in th e w es t. Th ese troubles, which at fire. had de sertion mi g ht have experienced t c ti ca e hod (1 . v ral has been sent to appease them, and he will employ, with energy or kindness, as occasion may require, the extensive but regular powers which have been confided to him. He has under his orders more than a sufficient force to dis concert rebellion. Some agents have been arrested, and proceedings are being taken against them. There are also other enemies of the Government, of whom some bt tog against it the recollections. of a glorious epoch, and others address themselves to those disorganizing passions that always ferment in the bosom of a great society. It is to these parties especially that we owe those disturbance, ' which have troubled some cif our cities, and, principally, the capital. Unable to prevent all, we have, at least, re pressed them, and order has not ceased to be maintained. We owe it, gentlemen—the King arid France owe it—to that noble and patriotic fraternity of young regiments, and to that National Guard, which, with tittins, gratitude, the people of Paris have named the Great Army of Public Order. Every. thing announces, gentlemen, that the Government will not be under the necessity of asking from you additional force. There is, however, in the present state of parties the symptoms of a serious evil of which it belongs to a French assembly to arrest its progress, in teaching by its example all the citizens to despise vain temporary popularity, in seeking only the gratitude of the future, and in presenting to all the world models of cou rage, self-denial, and devotion, before which will at length vanish those false prestiges of parties, who will only excite pity when they cease to create fear. Such is our system of ihterior policy, gentlemen, to take the Charter for the invariable rule of our conduct ; to re constitute power, and to give to it the force and unit) which is necessary; to re-establish all intereats, by creating guarantees of order and stability ; to respect the laces; to draw upon order and moral force, from whence flaw all our means of action and influence ; and, in shot t, neve: to consent to form a party Government,and while watch ing with a vigilant eye over plots hatched in darkness, never to yield to the pleasure of crushing the vanquished, for it is thus that victory is dishonoured. I now proceen , to our foreign policy. Tae system that we have pursue., abroad is reproached with. having been to time neglect the consequences of the Revolution of July. This systen we found already established by negotiations set on foot, and which we neeeasarily followed up. We - entered inn the paths traced out for us, hint we believe that on entered upon them with a firmer step, and more decide,. ;mentions We adopted tiic aytetn of peace, because we Thought that a destiny snore glorious and durable awaited our cruntry by placing itself at the head of civiliza ti •ri in Europe, by the ascendancy of moral force rather than by the alarm of bayonets. The state of Europe, the interests of the Powers. their dispositions, and their eon •Ilott ; the events that have occurred within six months-, ,vithin eight days ; the soars in which we are actors or witnenses, all attest that the peace of the world may be .osintained, and that it principally depends upon Fromm. This is nut to sae that we ought to seek peace cost whit it y. No, Gentlemen ; to avoid war, we ask no sacrifice of the honour of the nation, but merely that of passions theories.—{Cheers.) What do these theories say fiaag the peinciples of our Government being opposed to those of the Great States of the Continent, war is the . lo n m n er4u l7 en b c e e s e! ve t d ii : i j e, y e t o h n e tz e st e d n i q c u t i i e o s t t o of T th h e u t s t , F ni, r e e r n se e . h E l c e n rt t y are before na to contradict thia assertion.

It seeing Cr' aline courageous youths that the rernem-a nrances of 'ffironnaing and reverses can only he effaceef lsOid. Thus, gentlemen, war worth/ be the etesnal des tiny of the nations : and from vengeance to vengeance, front reprisals to reprisals, the extermination of all the nations under the blots of a single nation would be the sole denouement of the sanguinary drama of history. Gentle.- mem I attest the immortal lustre of our Revolutim ;—I attest ftos romps respect of all the thrones for our re covered independence :—France bas now resumed in Fairopo that position so worthy of herself_of which a aoreeeninent enslaved to ittreioners too long deprived her. MoreoOet, the results of our diplomacy and of our arms, in the short flame cf a year, suffleiently prove that the policy of peace is no roosts a sacrifice than an illusion. I leave facts to speak. Ports:eel bed outraged the laws of humanity with regard to Frenehmen. 'Dse Government announced to Ft,trft , e satisfaction yr justice. Juatiee has been done and eatlefaction obtained. In Italy you have fteen, as we announced at !hi e T r ib une , th e t roops o f t h e goipotar of Austria evacuate the: Roman States. Romassna is pacified. That feeble insurrection, which was unable to emancipate it, fora not led to its nppretesion. Owing to our ' negotiations useful reform, have been in part roitained. What more was there to be done? The events of Italy were commented before our Cabinet was formed; we form! the Duchy of 310 , 1ena invaded ; the Austrians were matching towards Roinagna ; the Government then promised teat if they entered it they would not occupy it ; this promise has been fulfilled. Italy breathes again, and without us she would now probably be the theatre of bloody teactior,s. Poland, more etrong and more threatened than Italy, oc cupied the world very differently. Witnesses of her heroic courage, and alarmed at her perils, we participate in that profound sympathy which France experiences for a nation whose glory earl misfortunes have so often united the des. tinier of the two nations—a sympathy, the expression of which has been openly proclaimed in a solemn act ! (Strong sensation.) But wishes would be only a fruitless homage. On the 13th of March, no mediation had yet been off-red for Poland. We counselled the King to offer his the first. His dine, hastened to unite with him to arrest the combat, and secure to Poland conditions of na tionality with surer guarantees. These negociations con tinue : we follow them up with anxiety, for blood is flaw ing, the peril is urgent, and victory is not always faithful, Thus, whilst we are ac nerd of indifference, every day be holds us employing the means of intercession. To what other means could we have had recourse ? Ought we, as it has been said, to have recognised Poland ? But supposing even that the faith of treaties and the respect of our foreign relations had given irs the right to make .this acknowledgement, it world have been illusory, unless it had been followed by effortr, and then war would have ensued. I appeal to the reason of the Chamber. Ought France to recommence that gigantic campaign in which the fortunes of Napoleon became a wreck ? Has this war which we are called upon to wage been well reflected upon? It is a war which will lead us across the whole breadth of the Continent—it is a universal war, the object of so much delirious ambition, of so many chimerical passions! Can it be proved that this heroic crusade would save Poland? No, gentlemen ; for if once France deviates from her lantrality, that neutrality, which has hitherto been observed by other Powers, will be Aran ' dented, and their armies are only four days' march from the capital we wish to defend, while it is 400 leagues from us.—( Hear, hear.) In face of those facts, who will ven ture to call for a war which cannot save Poland, but must be the cause of her downfall.—(Hear, hear, from almost every part of the Assembly.) Our explanations with re gard to Belgium, shall be no less distinct. How many times have we not had to apprehend, from the question of royalty to Belgium, a cause for a general rupture through out Europe? We came into Administration at the time when the refusal of the Crown fur the Duke de Nemours and the exclusion of the Duke de Lcuchtenhourg, limited so narrowly the choice of a Sovereign destined to give existence and unity to this nascent kingdom. The cite ti^n made by the Belgians was judieious--the personal el sracter of the Prince they chose rendered it doeirabic. France received it with satisfaction, for aloe never feels mis trust without evident cause. Besides, previous to her ac knowledgment of King Leopold, France stipulated for all the conditions required for her safety and ho nour. The demolition of tile fortresses will efface the last vestiges of the events of 1515. The inde pendence and neutrality of the new kingdom were equally guaranteed ; and both, in case of need shall ba defended. Of this the late measures of the . French Cabinet are proofs. A French army has received orders to enter Belgium, to repel the unexpected aggression of Holland. This expedition, which was decided upon im mediately on the arrival of the first despatch from the King of the Belgians, and was the result of the full under- standing between all the Great Powers of Europe, proves that France is powerful, that her armies are ready for action, and that her young soldiers, as well as her veteran Generals, are worthy of inheriting that glory which is de posited in their hands. It proves that France is the faith ful ally, the natural support of Belgium, and that she knows how to protect what she has reared, that treaties are more than vain words, and that the Powers of Europe who have been painted as plotting war against her, are faithful to their engagements, and respect our independ ence and power. Thus, gentlemen, in opposition to all the predictions which have so long proclaimed that in a short time the absolutism of Europe would reduce France to the necessity of defending her own independence, mid that Paris would again be visited by the f reigner, it is with the consent of Europe that France is at this moment actually defending against an unsupported Monarch the independence of a neighbour and a triend, sprung from our revolution, and Brussels finds allies in the French uniform ! What an overwhelming contradiction to the prophets of the propaganda and re-action ! France, with the concur rence of all Europe, is protecting a revolution, the off spring of that of July, and will see torn essee raised against her by: the Holy Alliance demolished ! These Leta, ten tlemen, prove that without France, aild what she has ac complished, the States of the Pope would be still covered with foreign soldiers, and harraesed with proscriptions and confiscations—that without France, Poland would have been long ago crushed by the united efforts of the Three Powers by whom she is surrounded; and that without France, Belgium would have been a prey to anarchy, or suns into a restoration ! Far, then, from France having abandoned the people whom she set in movement, though without any instigation from her, she has rendered them all as many benefits as an imprudent propaganda would have created evils. She has assured to Belgium independence and nationality; to Poland less inequality in e e e le to y r d n e f :Jhttiiuti F f il t i a ::,,oh r aa h oor, t ivaea r '' h,oieu t ptnsei n kyhsi ex n eoe n ae ls :ierdsiae c , : rre, : 3 l , Y ca e rii g ' st h ss u acocq t nopaesd e h il g uaudnsnei t io a li g et h eibdlemt s r m isb i tt a nrule i t nc l attain e i sei s i. : t e , hnenlaa ti eyi, n vnedt a r n‘ut r ra, s ra : r obeip a 0 1 t ,nt becauseabnonl r m oiou i telnmeaatnel.! regardd:al tns h gigt t dt t a twitoi ae l .t es tt i tnuo b ia.i) .l iN l rineetl a ohc i . ,Inctlvf c j c e ßs rrehytele o un. n h e:t sc e r ib g n e te yec (a r s a a l r s :oo giu o: n e , n unf ie l tdleprridfnvaiout consequences e."::n.toirt.,g)hehi.(fr.igs necessary position r fS y a generaliiau " saved o d Ste'eatael Italy war.
