Billault (part of whose speech we published on Satur day) continued, and said :—The Chamber has just heard the affirmation on the honour of the King's Minister. Such a mode of argument does not appear to me very parliamentary. —(Exclamations and murmurs.) If no complete documents have been received, why has the Government been so hasty in condemning Admiral Dupetit Thouars ? Why did it not wait for more details ? This, gentlemen, is not a quarrel about a flag, it is a quarrel of sovereignty— it is not a quarrel with Queen Pomare, it is one with England.—(lnterrurtion.) A quarrel with English agents then, if you like that expression better. The protest of the Queen is clearly drawn up by the secretary of the English vessel. The only part of it which comes from the Queen, i s th a t w hi c h s h e on l y s i gne d t h roug h the influence of fear. It was in consequence of the English- Captain Nicolas, that the flag of the protectorate ceased to wave over Otaheite, and it was to English cannon that the Government had yielded.—(Loud exclamations.) If you ac cept all that the English have done, the Chamber, Prance, and all Europe, will appreciate your conduct. • The Minister of Marine.—ln reply -to the remarks of M. Billault relative to the striking of the flag of the protectorate, I have to repeat that from the day of its being first hoisted, it had never been struck. I have carefully examined every document relative to the affairs of Oceania, but I cannot find anything to justify him in what he has done. The first duty of an officer is to fulfil to the letter the instructions given him.—(lnterruption on the Left.) I look upon the whole question as purely French, without any regard to what might be thought of it elsewhere: • - M. Dufaure said I shall be exceedingly brief in my re marks. When the discussion on Oceania took place last year, many persons anticipated the probability of complica • tions in the affairs of our protectorate. This case has oc curred, and the two officers who acted in consequence are now disavowed. We are told that they acted contrary to their. instructions; but where are those instructions? I my self have read the instructions given to Captain Bruat, and there is not one syllable in them of what was to be done in case of the treaty being violated, or a refusal being given to execute it. Well, then, here we have an Admiral 4,000 leagues off without instructions? What, then, was he to do, should a cause arise which had not been provided for? Clearly, he ought to act as his reason; his prudence, and his patriotism suggested. As we obtain so little from the Go vernment we must seek elsewhere for our facts and infor mation. (The Hon. Member here referred to M. Gosse's letter, part of which he read.) Thus, you perceive, that scarcely was the protectorate accepted, when our flag was hauled down, and another substituted; furnished by the Eng lish.—(Cries of " No, no," met by counter-exclamations of Yesaes,") And it is for having demanded reparation for those insults that the Admiral is disavowed. It is a grave matter to treat our naval officers after this fashion—grave not only for the persons who suffer by it now, but for all our officers cruising in distant latitudes. Those who so rapidly decide on the _question appear to me not to und ers t an d w h a t th ey do.—(Hear.) Why decide on such trifling evidence? Why not wait ? What danger could there be in doing so ? Re mark, too, that a variety of circumstances concur to aggravate the disavowal of the Government. Ido not say that it took place in consequence of the English debates, but it is unlucky that it coincided with them, for the disavowal will be for oar officers not only a humiliation, but a subject of triumph to the English party at Otaheite. I hope a French vessel will be at once sent out with the news, for I do not like the idea of its being taken out by an English one. When the French vessel arrives, the first thing the Governor ought to do is to haul down his flag, and cross the island like a conquered man.— (Noise.) The protectorate, it seems, is to be resumed. It was difficult enough before judge what it will be now. Much is said of the position that p ranee ought to occupy as a naval power, We make in our budget great sacrifices to sustain the dignity of our navy ; but, for my part, I declare it openly, I should prefer seeing France give up her navy for ever, to find her suffering such acts as the Ministry is defending to day. This is the cause of my attacking the Cabinet, and every one will allow that I do it frankly. The Minister of Public Instruction—The Hon. Gentleman who has just spoken, though he appeared not adverse to the first attempt sto extend the power of France in distant lati tudeS, yet felt some uneasiness at the result. He feared that there would result from it something onerous to the country, and that there would be great difficult in reconciling the protectorate with the preservation of the native power. But, because thb treaty appeared difficulty of execution, should it on the first occasion be violated? Did the character of the treaty ) which rendered it difficult of execution, authorise it being suddenly changed into absolute possession? The treaty which had been proposed and accepted established tke. Ois tinction between internal sovereignty and a French protec torate, and this distinction certainly was not without value in those distant regions. It gave to France a desirable means of surveillance in the Pacific Ocean.—(Hear.) If there had been shown to exist any imperious necessity for what has taken place at Otaheite—if the French forces in that quarter had been in danger the Admiral would not only have been supported by the Government, but praised for his conduct; but nothing of the sort has taken place. What utility therefore can be seen in thus suddenly changing our protectorate into a definitive possession? Those who hold commands in those distant regions certainly are obliged to have great liberty of action, because great responsibility rests upon them, but they cannot be allowed to pledge their Gov ernmen t s indefinitely. —(Approbation.) Because a mission is difficult and distant, is the head of it, instead of maintaining and defending, to take upon himself to modify and transform? No, gentle men, that is impossible. These are not doctrines made for the occasion, they are the doctrines of all nations. The greater the importance of a mission given to a courageous leader, the more necessary is it that he should not exceed his instructions, and the necessity of strictly adhering to instruc tions increases in proportion to the distance at which the mission towards sA re has Admiral l ai D d u t p h e a t t it th T e conduct of will witshee Governme ntth ak b en e eztheeguautedth. 1L Dufaure ority . of French commanders. This motive might be applicable if resistance were possible; but, gen tlemen, I will ask what resistance is there to be dreaded in those islands, and what internal force can Otaheite find to re sist that of France ? The throne of Queen Pomard has been spoken of with derision, but with these simple and primitive people such facts as have taken place are regarded as more important than some are di s p ose d t o cons id e r them. Let the treaty, then, be execut e d a t Ot a h e it e , l e t th e p r otectorate be re -established, and, i nstea d o f f orm i ng a wea k id ea o f th e power of France, these people will rather judge of her strength by seeing that she has the power to be just. The President announced to the Chamber that M. Ducos had handed to him a written proposition, having for its ob ject to terminate the discussion on the interpellations by a vote to the following effect :—" The Chamber, without ap proving of the conduct of the Cabinet, passes to the order of the day." The Minister of Foreign Affairs—Adjourn I It is for the interest and dignity of all the world that the question should be fully discussed. • The Left, en masse, exclaimed, " It has been." The Minister of Foreign Affairs—l formally demand the adjournment. I have much more to say. After some further objections from the Left, The President announced the adjournment ; and The Chamber rose at half-past six o'clock. FRIDAY, MARCH 1. " At two o'clock M. Sauzet, the President, • took the chair, when the Chamber resumed the adjourned debate on the Otaheite affair. M. Ducos having moved, on Thursday evening, that the Chamber, "without approving the conduct of the Cabinet," should pass to the order of the day, on the question pending before the House, was called to the tribune. He stated that h e w as induced to propose that motion from a consideration that the debate was at an end, when the Minister for Foreign Affairs had interrupted him, saying that he had a number of other documents to produce, and asked that the discussion should be adjourned to Friday. M. Guizot here rose, and declared that he had not pro nounced the word " document," but had said that he had many other argumenti to adduce in justification of the conduct of the Cabinet. M. Ducos next read the account of M: Guizot's speech in the IVoniteur, which proved that he had not pronounced the word " document:" After a few words from M. Guizot, who insisted on the ne cessity of a new and complete discussion taking place on the proposition of M. Ducos, M. Ducos again ascended the tribune and said, that he could only repeat in support of the Order of the Day, the motives so eloquently developed by M. Dufaure and his other colleagues. After brief speeches from MM. Dangeville and Mermilliod, Marshal Sebastiani next ascended the tribune, but he de livered himself in so low a voice that one-half of the Mem bers abandoned their seats and placed themselves in the semi circle at the foot of the tribune. We understood that. the Hon. Marshal strongly reproved the proceedings of Admiral. Dupetit Thouars, who had not, he said, the plea of right, duty, or justice, to invoke in justification of an act of spolia tion, perpetrated to the detriment of a Queen who had signed a treaty with France, in violation of all the laws of military discipline. . . . M. Ayllies, who spoke next, threw no new light on the question; and was not listened to by the assembly. _ M. de Gasparin was more successful in captivating the attention of the House. He said that he could not approve an act of violence, committed by the strong against the weak; and that he had too much national pride to exult at the ac complishment of an act which bad neither the prestige of danger or audacity to set it off. He then contested the utility of the acquisition of Otaheite, and showed the incon sistency of the adversaries of the Ministry, who last year, condemned it for acting and now blamed it for abstaining.. He then demonstrated the futility of the allegations of the Opposition, that the present Cabinet was under the control of the British Cabinet, and not free in its movements. M. Guizot had repeatedly and victoriously refuted such an ab surd charge. It was M. Gasparin's firm opinion that the Chamber had never been called upon' more directly to decide the question of pace and war than at the present moment, and he concluded by a vindication of the piety, services, and disinterestedness of the Methodist missionaries in the South Seas amidst the murmurs of the Opposition. ' M. Guizot—The question assumed at the end of yesterday's sitting a very different appearance from what it possessed previously; for it was not only against the form and time of the measure taken by the Government that objections were raised, but Honourable Gentlemen were extremely anxious to prove that we ought to have approved and ratified the conduct of Admiral Dupetit. Thquars. Several Hon. Mem bers seem to think that the AdMiral was entitled to act as he had done, because there was a violation of the treaty; whilst others maintain that there was an absolute necessity for his so acting, in order to maintain the honour of France. I do not think that there was any violation of the treaty, for at no period did Queen Pomare refuse to execute it. She always, on the contrary, declared that she was ready to comply, whilst, at the same time, she complained that she had not signed it with her full consent. She therefore did notviolate it ; and I can add, that no violation of it has proCeeded from any other quarter. I have mentioned that evil counsels had been given to the Queen ; but I am anxious to make a distinction which has not been yet drawn. England has been spoken of in a general manner —England is said to have urged on to this proceeding and to the other. This, Gentlemen, is an improper mode of talk ing. English subjects did certainly act thus ' but the Eng lish Government not only.did not, act so, b u t did' the very opposite. It always declared that it would not -interfere with our protectorate, and gave positive instructions to their agents in consequence.—(Bear, hear.) It was not able to put a stop to all . the proceedings; but it did what it could. I have had sufficient experience Of the honour of the English Government to know that, without some provocation on our part, it will not bring any obstacle to a state of things which it had itself approved of: I have this firm confidence, and I am convinced that I shall not be deceived. There was, therefore, neither on the part .of • the Queen nor of Eng land, any violation of the treaty,• which still subsists, and is in full force for all parties. The Admiral therefore had no right to depart • from the tenour of the treaty. He ' might easily have hauled down the flag of which so much has been said, and substituted that of the protectorate, • leaving the Queen in posseision of her territories—(Murmurs on the Left.) We have heard much in the course of this . debate of national honour—of the honour of our flag, and of the duty of the King's Government to support their brave sailors, who, at 4,000 leagues' distance from their coun try, devote themselves to the furtherance. of great national in terests. Gentlemen, I know of no spectacle more deplorable than that of great and just ideas' enlisted in the service of error.—(Hear.) All those . nobre ideas so strongly expressed by our adversaries in this.tiibune are equally felt by us. We also wish the protection of the country to accompany our seamen everywhere. But is there no other aspect in which the country can be viewed ? Whilst our seamen are 4,000 leagues off, does not their country still remain here, and are there not 35,000,000 of French subjects for whom this sailor, acting in distant latitudes, may adopt a resolution which will decide their fate ? And as the duty of the Government is to take thought for all, why will you prevent its looking at the im portant. side of the question ? Why will you not allow it to demand from its seamen a complete obedience to the orders given them by their count—(Hear, hear.) 'We want nothing more—we simply require obedience—and' that Pru dence and sound policy should accompany every where the courage of our naval officers. Hence we consider it wrong in any one 4,000 leagues from the mother country to act against the orders given him.—(Hear.) As to the honour of France, it is particularly in fidelity to engagements, in observance of promises made, and pledges given in the respect of treaties, that it has its most solid base. The tricoloured flag has never received any affront in this matter, for the flag of the protec torate has never ceased to wave over the island. The question lies wholly between two personal flags —one, which the Queen desired to display—the other, which the Admiral insisted on imposing on her. I now come to the question of English and French influence in the South Seas, and I assert that the most powerful influence that exists at present in Oceania is that of religion brought from Europe. Ido not speak of the Protestant faith only, but of the Catholic religion also, which exists already on many points of this archipelago. We promised protection and security to the English missionaries at Otaheite, and we have kept our word. We are not the only power exercising such a protection. In New Zealand there are established Roman Catholic priests with a bishop at their head ; more than 20,000 of the natives are con verted, and the English protect the Catholic religion there as we protect the Protestants at Otaheite. Do you sup ' pose that it is an easy matter to maintain those two religions together in common activity? Do you suppose that it is not possible that war be thence generated, if great care be not taken? It is undoubtedly a noble spectacle to see those two religions acting side by side in a sympathetic accord ; but it is also a spectacle attended with danger, and which cannot last,- but on condition that it is protected by the harmony of the great Governments from which the missionaries have proceeded. The day when this harmony shall have disap peared—when political differences shall arise, to place them selves by the side of religious proselytism—on that day will arise tempests, principles of disorder, causes of war, which the prudence of the two Governments, of England and of France, will perhaps be powerless to repress. Gentlemen, if you wish the present state of things to continue, endeavour to main tain harmony between the two Governments—do not suffer the imprudent act of a man, however courageous and devoted to his country he may be, and I am not the person to contest the merits of Admiral Dupetit Thouars, to destroy such a work I now arrive at the proposition of M. Ducos. Gentlemen, we do not ask of the Chamber a formal and exclusive appro bation of what we have done ; we have acted on our own re ture will show whether we did right to accomplish it. We h co ere mm t e o nm st in at en e t ou o r f an mo a t c i t v ; es th to e tfhue ,Csploutnmsibilielri.ty,Tahnids w is e bu w t ni th e e stand on our rights ; the Chamber rests on its right to exa mine and to criticise; the question remains entire. You have been asked to pass censure on what we have done, and you have been asked to do this in an indirect and (excuse the ex pression) hypocritical manner.—(Rumours on the Left.) I repeat, we ask for no approbation. The honourable M. Ducos may ascend the tribune to explain the motives of his propo sition, but as to myself and my colleagues, we regard it as an indirect and unuerhand censure, and we cannot accept it. We accept our responsibility to its fullest extent, and from the moment when we shall have received from the Chamber one of those manifestations which tend to enervate a government, we will cease to exercise it.—(Applause.) M. Ducos—The Chamber will comprehend the feeling which has induced pie to speak, under the charge of having proposed an hypocritical measure ; there is more hypocrisy in such language than in my conduct. There is more than hypocrisy in such language, there is fear—(Murmurs)—and in that the Minister of Foreign Affairs appeared perfectly consistent with the other acts of his life.—(Murmurs.) Numerous voices exclaimed—" Order, order !" M. Ducos—The Chamber knows I should be sensible to a call to order on its part, but who is there among you who would be less offended by the reproach of hypocrisy,. than by the reproach which I have just addressed to the Minister? The President—The expression that you have used, Sir, is not parliamentary. M. Gustave de Beaumont—lt is the Minister who has not been parliamentary. The President—lf I had understood the Minister to address himself personally—(lnterruption on the Left)—l should have made the same observation to him as I have made to M. Ducos.—(Murmurs and exclamations from the Left.) M. Durand de Romorantin—You do not know how to en force order. The President—After having addressed an observation to M. Ducos which I considered just, it only remains for me to express a wish that irritating expressions should be refrained from by all parties. M. Ducos explained. M. Thiers—After the speeches which you heard _yesterday from my Honourable Fr i e n d s , MM. Bill au lt an d Dufaure— (Noise and interruption) —I scarcely think it necessary to take part in the discussion ; but I am anxious to remind the Chamber of some facts whic appear to me indispensable, in order to fix its attention to the conduct of the Hon. Admiral who receives to-day not only the judgment of the Government, but that of the Chamber.—(lnterruption.) The disobedience of an Admiral is certainly a thing . of a very serious nature, and on that point I agree in the opinion of the Chamber. I repeat that disobedience is a serious charge, and I can readily appre ciate the anxiety of those who wish on the present occasion to give a lesson to all the agents of the Government. There is also something very serious in the disavowal of the acts of a general—of an agent of France abroad.—(Movement..) For my part, I am :persuaded that MM. Dupetit Thouars and Bruat have had very good reason for dethroning this little Queen Pomare.—(Laughter.) lam persuaded, .from all the documents which have been received, that they have been judged prematurely, and I am convinced that the Minister of Marine has felt considerable embarrassment in making this disavowal. I place the Government in this dilemma—either you are in possession of facts which you do not communicate, or you have only the reports which you have produced. In the former case, produce the documents; in the latter, there is no reason for your disavowal. I can declare that the Hon. M. Etienne and myself, had this morning in our hands a letter written by a person of consideration in the Otaheitian squadron, and addressed to an officer of rank in this country. I am riot at liberty to mention names.—(Murmurs.) M. Dupin, Sen.—Cite the facts without giving names. M. Thiers—The writer says—" The English journals will not fail to say that the Queen is innocent ; but the following are - the facts of the case. As long as there were no English vessels here every thing went on well, but on the arrival of the English things went to the other extreme. The Queen received a flag in the'name of the Queen of England.— (Noise.) Soon after this, she would see none but English of ficers, and refused to receive those of France. She granted to the English military points, and allowed them to land troops. The missionary Pritchard publicly preached against the French ; the Queen was present at his sermons. He pays no attention to the provisional power established at Otaheite, and the Queen approves of what he does, and ended by hoisting the flag sent her by Queen Victoria at the same hours that the English flag was hoisted. Things arrived at such a point that the French put an end to them as described. Our position is now better. The materiel which had been brought out to form an establishment at the Marquesas has been removed to Otaheite, as being now the most important point, and the considerable :resources which had been given to form the establishment at Noukabiva are now collected at. Otaheite." —(Long• continued agitation and movement.) This is the substance of the letter which I read. I am persuaded that the officers who were there the representatives of France had motives for acting as they have done, and that the pre cipitation with which they have been judged will be a subject of regret hereafter, as such a disavowal is a serious affair. I will:quote two instances of the kind. Every one knows that the battle of Navarino was fought without in structions ; _ the English and - French Govenunents felt • serious scruples on the subject, but the fact was accepted :by the two Governments, and the idea of disavowing the . acts of the officers who commanded there was given up. . The second instance was at Ancona. An officer had been • sent there with a certain force; to observe what was going •on : the progress of events; induced that officer_ to force the gates of Ancona ; there was then a question of dis avowal, but it did not take place, and the fact is become one of the glories of France. When officers who are acting in diStant points are under fear of having their acts disavowed, it certainly tends to damp their courage. He remembered two famous trials that had taken place, one of an English officer,• Admiral Sir Robert Calder, and the other a French admiral (Dumanoir). The former was tried for not having propekly followed up a victory; the latter because, during an engagement, he had withdrawn from the line of battle. He justified his conduct, and was acquitted. I bring forward these facts to show that great nations do not seek to damp the courage of their agents, but rather to stimulate and sup port them.—(Approbation from the Left.) No other person demanding to speak, the President rose, .and informed the Chamber that the ballot must be had re course to 'on the occasion, as a list of twenty. Members had 'been banded in to him who required it. The ballot then took place ' when M. Ducos' proposition was rejected by a majority of 46, the numbers being--187 in its favour, and 233 against it. The Chamber adjourned at a quarter to seven. They who profess to have accurate intelligence with regard to Court secrets, state that her Majesty's accouche ment may be confidently looked for about the beginning of next July. It is said, indeed, that all the necessary prepara tions for the interesting event at that period have been duly made. This, at least, is the gossip of gossips, and in such matters we do not know that we have any right to wish for better authority.—John Bull. DISEASE IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths has been much above the usual average. There is an epidemic of no very , striking character prevalent, but it has been in many instances rendered fatal by injudicious bleeding. We had hoped that this system had been abandoned by the greater number•of medical men, unless when nit is absolutely necessary. InfianuTiation has ceased to be so common in this country. The habits of 'life 'render the' constitution of 'the people, especially in large cities, below rather than above the ordinary standard of ,strength.—Polytechnic The Colombo, East Indiaman, Captain Thompson, sailed for Mauritius and Bombay on Tuesday, encountered a heavy gale off the Land's-end, and was compelled to bear up again for Spithead, and anchored on the Motherbank on Thursday, where she now remains, together with a small fleet of mer chantmen, weather-bound.

The fourth province is now the theatre of agitation. Presbyterian Ulster is proclaiming its grievances ; and charges upon the English Protestant Establishment, and the claims of its clergy to the exclu sive possession of those powers which confer validity on religious ordinances, the injury which has been inflicted on the Presbyterians of Ireland. The occasion ofthis new commotion will be at once brought to the recollection of our readers. A man was charged at one of the Irish Assizes, held about two years since, with bigamy. That he had contracted two marriages was placed beyond a doubt - by the evidence ; and he was found guilty. His counsel moved an arrest of judgment, on the ground that one of the marriages had been celebrated by a Presbyterian clergyman, and that one of the parties to the marriage being an Episcopalian, the ceremony was in valid. The question was referred to the Irish judges, who disagreed; but a majority held the objection taken to be valid. It was then sent to the House of Lords, where the opinions of the English judges was required; and majority of these also affirmed the objection. The judgment of the Peers on the appeal was post poned—partly to give their Lordships time for conside ration; but principally to afford time for the preparation of a Bill to legalise all marriages previously celebrated under such circumstances, and to pass such Bill through Parliament with all possible rapidity. This course was imperatively necessary. Until this Declara tory Act was announced, the consternation mid fears of the families who had contracted such marriages in conformity with a custom, the legality of which had never been questioped, was extreme. To say nothing of the personal feelings of delicacy and propriety which this new state of things had alarmed, the succession to property, and other results, which the bastardizing of offspring would occasion, produced an uneasiness scarcely admitting of description. The ex post facto law i stayed this ferment. The decision of the House of f Ireland. Lords was hung up for a time. A few days since .Trii ythhi;4l:)7 the question was argued by the Law Lords in the House of Peers ; and the balance of opinions pro and con. on this important civil and ecclesiastial question indicates not merely the difficulties which surround the subject, but the impolicy of legislating upon any great question—involving, as this qtestion certainly does, Civil rights and religious freedom—on partial views, and with relation to only one part of the United Empire. Had the law which confers on the different denominations of religionists in this country the power of celebrating marriages in their own places of worship, according to their own forms, and by their own ministers, been ex tended to Ireland, this new source of vexation would have been avoided. A striking difference of opinion was avowed by the great law luminaries in the Peers. Lords Campbell, Brougham, and Denman, delivered their opinions in favour of the validity o f th e i m p ugne d marriage —Lord Abinger against its validity. Lords Lyndhurst and Cottenham subsequently delivered their judgment, at considerable length, against the legality of such marriages. Lords Campbell and Brougham requested time for perusing the opinions and considering the arguments of Lords Lyndhurst and Cottenham ; and thus the whole question remains still in suspense. This postponement is, we appre hend,. the precursor of concurrence in the views of the latter Peers. The marriage on which the question was raised will, we have no doubt, be pronounced null. This result is, we perceive, anticipated by the Irish..: Presbyterians ; who are indignant at the position in which . their ministers are placed. They are preparing to get up an agitation of their own ; which, considering the vested interests in the celebration of marriage pos sessed by the clergy of the Irish Establishment, is likely to involve the. Government in a new difficulty. The heavy expenses of the appeal are reported to have been paid by a fund, to which one of the Irish prelates and several of the higher orders of clergy were contributors. STANDARD.—TheIate division in the French Cham ber is a great triumph; but of all who have a right to share in that triumph, the part of England—if she have any part—is surely the smallest. Much as the name - of this country was mixed up in the debate, we have really had nothing whatever to do in the affair that led to it; and this, indeed, is our only claim to praise—the only ground upon which we can , pretend to any part in the so signal victory won by the French Government. Had the British Government or the British officers on the spot, taken any part, we can easily see what use would have been made of such actual interference by the arts resorted to to raise a constructive interposition on the part of the - Government of this country. The triumph is, however, a glorious and salutary triumph, it is the triumph of peace and of justice —one in which all Europe will rejoice, and of which France may well be proud, , and of which another generation of French men will be proud, if all do not now exult in it as much as they ought. The injustice of the deposition of Queen Pomare stems to be disputed by no one ; and from this acknowledgment it follows ` that Admiral Dupetit 'Thouars had violated the . ..duty '-of an honest man, a man of honour, and a.:gentleman, as it was certain that he had transgressed his orders as an officer of France. But, say the Opposition faction, the proceeding must be supported, in order not to dis courage our brave marine. What is this but saying that the French flag is henceforth to be the flag of pirates ; that, no matter what injustice or out rages may be committed 'under it by officers who spurn the authority of their instructions, the injustice or outrage must be defended and maintained, the contumacious officers applauded and rewarded, in order not to discourage future perpetrators of wrong. Again, say they, nothing but English influence, or the fear of England, could suggest the correction of an in justice committed inadvertently or perversely by a French officer —ahigh compliment, no d ou b t, to England, which is thus raised to the station of the universal protector of the oppressed, but a com pliment to which, in the particular case, England has no claim, and which we reject with scorn, from the foul libel upon the gallant and high-spirited people of France involved in it. For the plain inference from this asser tion of English influence in the affair is, that France is incapable of acting with generosity or justice except com pelled. The French Government has shown that it needs no prompter to be generous and to be just ; and we re joice to see that a considerable majority of the Chamber concur in feeling with the Government. The matter is in appearance a small one, we may say without a figure that prima facie " Pugna est de paupere regno," but the principle involved in the debate is of immense importance, for it comes to this—are nations to be pre cluded by fears of misconstruction and of jealousies from acts of spontaneous justice ? The French Government, and the majority of the French Chamber, have demon strated—that no taunts, no suspicions shall cause them to persevere in a manifest wrong; and have thus, if we may so speak, thrown another fortress around the shrine of public law. It is thus that the future historian of France will present this bright page in her annals. We rejoice that no act or word on the part of England has disturbed the honourable self vindication of our neighbours ; and, as members of the great European commonwealth, we rejoice also in the assertion of a high principle of justice, by a people so powerful and so sensitive, and hence so likely to be imi tated, where it sets an example of calmness and modera tion, as the people of France. THE HIGH TIDE OF SUNDAY.--On Sunday there was one of those high tides which appear at and near a full moon. The offices and basement stories on the banks of the Thames were flooded. The tide rose to such a height about two o'clock that heavily laden barges with difficulty , passed under the side arches of the bridges. At Putney bridge one barp was so caught in the arch, that it. could not be stirred until two horses were procured to force it forward. PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.—The Sixteenth Annual General Meeting of this SOCiety was held yester day at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to receive a iieport of the proceedings for the past year, to appoint officers for the year ensuing, and to elect six pensioners to fill up the vacancies occasioned by death. After the reading of the Report, and the re-election of R. Taylor, Esq., Mr. J. Hodson, and Mr. T. Billing, to the offices of Treasurer, Secretary, and Collector, the numbers polled for the successful candi dates were declared to be as follow :—William Walker, 2,256 ; William Davis, 2,156 ; Robert Sizeland, 2,113; Mary Brooke, 1,884 ; Jane Geldart, 1,728 ; and ADU Newnam 1,688. SINGULAR CASE OF SUDDEN DEATII.-011 Sa turday a young woman, named Jane How, expired under the following circumstances :—She resided at Stratford, and having an affection of the chest, left home in the morning, and with her mother rode in an omnibus to the London Hos pital for medical relief. She had got out o ftlie omnibus, and was walking to the door of the hospital, when a sudden gust of wind blew in her face, and she appeared at that moment to be deprived of breath. Her mother carried her into the waiting-room, but she was then quite dead. Strange to say, the inquest was held in little more than half an hour after her death, and before the body was cold, as Mr. Baker, the Coroner, being there at the time investigating another case, made use of the same jury. A verdict of " Died by the visi tation of God" was returned. THE CASE OF SUPPOSED TRANCE.---During_ the past week several professional gentlemen from the London hospitals, &c., have been down to Deptford, to watch this extraordinary case ; and on Saturday Mr. B. Cooper and other gentlemen - pronounced that decomposition had taken place. On Friday, one of the family told Mr. Hope, of Dept ford-bridge, that perspiration had been felt at the back of the head; and the report becoming current, great anxiety was manifested in the neighbourhood. Shortly afterwards, how ever, Mr. , Langley, of Upper Montague-street, Montague square, arrived, and expressed an unqualified opinion that decomposition was going on ; but•there was not the slightest effluvium from the body. On Saturday it was further appa rent. There appears, however, to be a variety of opinions amongst the medical men. It has been stated by a brother of the deceased, that Mr. Callaway had said that there had been paralysis of the brain, and if the medical gentleman first called in had proceeded to bleed the patient in the jugular vein, there was a strong probability that life would have been restored. Mr. Langley was decidedly of opinion that deceased died instantaneously from enlargement of the heart. The• case, however, was extraordinary. He had had one eaßr within his own practice where a man who had died from intoxication lay 24 days without change. The deceased, Francis, has lain 28 days. All the medical men agreed that it was a most remarkable case, and urged that a po!t mortem n) ih t e h s e nNect examination should take place, to satisfy the relations, and remove the impression which has been existing against the Coro ner medicalad a gentleman con‘_ers at i vi ol o w r t - a h s 3 c f a r l . l e l d ,ra in n . cis ( ; ) s n en Fd . t on a Mr. Hope has requested the reporter to explain that his ob ject in having a pillow placed under the head was not to pre vent. art effusion of blood on the head, but to erevate it suffi ciently to admit of a free circulation. ,A post mortem exami nation will take place on Wednesday next. surprised ge Monday IMMENSE la s t, t fi n t P ch w . ° o n ß g r y °oounisnEgt F OUNDt h e e n marshof A t h T a e S ALT l n a r a had been left by the tide.
