Evening .. 26 minutes after 1. With a few amongst the representatives of the 1 people in the House of Commons it is the habit to correspond periodically with their individual consti tuencies—the correspondence not being, however, through the formality of epistle, but verbal, and even conversational. By these annual understandings be tween the Members and their electors the agitation for triennial Parliaments is so far rendered super fluous : the law with those constituencies does not ne cessitate the septennial nomination of a representative, the duration of Parliament with them is virtually restricted to twelvemonths. We honour this volun tary compact ; it breathes the very spirit of independ ence, it is tantamount to rendering boroughmongering an impossibility. Whenever any political change, whether trivial or extraordinary, takes place in the opinion of a Member accustomed to these timely tri bunals, he can make a clean breast of it to the men who nominated him to his seat in the Legislative Chamber at Westminster. A common understand ing is preserved between the electors and their repre sentatives at St. Stephen's ; amidst all the vicissi tudes and fluctuations of political belief their views are perpetually balanced; between them there can be no appreciable discrepancy. One of these Members is the Hon. Representative of Sheffield, the Secretary of the Admiralty. Vacation after vacation finds Mr. WARD in the Cutlers' Hall at Sheffield, " balancing accounts" with its citizens. Hitherto the Hon. Gentleman has been enabled to enter fully and minutely into a consideration of every topic to which the popular attention was in any manner directed. Hitherto he has found himself at liberty to discuss the merits of the various questions submitted to the consideration of the Legislature, and even solicitous to explain his views upon those questions in the plainest language possible. On Thursday evening Mr. WARD again appeared before his constituency, but for the first time, since his election by that borough, the lion. Member touched, with a delicacy that savoured almost of timidity, upon the different points of social reform requiring the aid and supervision of the Ministry. The reason for that deli. cacy was obvious—it was more than obvious, it was natural and honourable. Since the period of his last public interview with his constituency, Mr. WARD had accepted office, and hence, from his position, was incapacitated from entering, as heretofore, into the very pith and core of those matters, the examination of which, in a positive light, by one so situated, would render him liable to compromise the character and disposition of the Cabinet. Nevertheless, while morally shackled by his official engagements, Mr. WARD was enabled with some adroitness to satisfy the curiosity of his au ditors upon many themes of the highest importance and of the most immediate interest. His adroitness in this respect almost amounts to diplomatic subtlety. Without in any degree anticipating the disclosures of the approaching session, the Hon. Member still sur veyed what is expressively termed the political horizon; he indicated the broad course of liberalism, which the present Administration was prepared to follow, and enforced by his individual assurances the engage ments already made by the Prime Minister in the Guildhall of London. On this account, therefore, the observations delivered by Mr. WARD, on Thursday evening, are peculiarly entitled to attention and consideration. His address, which is printed in another column, while it is the least explicit ever addressed by himself to the electors of Sheffield, is unquestionably the most satisfactory, While it evinces a disinclination on the part of Mr. WARD to avow his anxiety for particular measures upon particular subjects, it is at the same moment most propitious, from its being composed of generous and propitious generalities. It is unnecessary to remark that the Hon. Member for Sheffield was welcomed by his constituency with that cordiality which his independent and inflexible conduct as a reformer has so fully merited for him since his entrance into the Imperial Parliament. Seeing that a merely garbled statement of the correspondence (touching the Montpensier marriage) between the several Ministers, Ambassadors, and Charges d'Affaires of England and France, has yet been officially published, we protest emphatically against the premature deduction of inferences there from prejudicial to the character of the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign-office. It is neither con sistent with the generosity of honest journalism nor with the love of candour inherent in the popular mind, that the special pleading of a Cabinet so notorious for its duplicity as is the Cabinet of the Tuileries should be received as conclusive, and satis factory evidence against the rectitude of an ex perienced and honourable statesman like Lord PAL MERSTON. What, indeed, can be more derogatory to the judgment of any individual or of any newspaper than that pliability of opinion which can adapt itself with readiness to the assertions uttered by any conti nental Government, however notorious its dissimula tion, or however flagrant its chicaneries ? Since the nuptials of her Catholic MAJESTY and the INFANTA were celebrated by the Archiepiscopal dignitary o Madrid, the documents preliminary to that ceremony have remained under cover of the Ministerial portfolios, and the decision of the public, as to the precaution or want of precaution evinced by Lord PALMERSTON in this complicated transaction, has been hitherto necessarily suspended. Upon the assembling of the Peers and Deputies in Paris, M. GUIZOT, without any unnecessary procras tination, submitted that correspondence, or as much of it as suited his purpose, to the inspection and deci sion of the latter. From the circumstance, of the Parliamentary session in France preceding the Par liamentary session in England by several days, a very appreciable advantage has been afforded to the Cabinet of the Tuileries over the Cabinet of St. James's. M. GuizoT and his colleagues have thereby obtained a priority of explanation. Without the risk of any im mediate contradiction, they have been enabled to pre judice the more credulous members of the communi ties in both countries by wilful mis-statements and plausible prevarications. If it were merely for this particular reason, it behoves every lover of justice and plain dealing to delay the utterance of his opinion until the opposite sides had delivered in its counter statements. There is an old English proverb—a golden proverb—familiar in the nurseries of Young England—but which appears to be altogether for gotten at this moment—" Fair play's a jewel." Let us, in the name of Common Decency, modulate our judgment in accordance with the principle contained in that fragment of the wisdom and probity of our ancestors; let us still further suspend our decision in regard to the conduct of Lord PALMERSTON during the negotiation of the royal marriages of the Penin- lengths, and to meddle with that which does not con- sula until the Noble Lord has submitted his version of cern it. Mr. Osnonisu's suegestion, if adopted, those transacti ons to the deliberation of the Imperial would at once have taken away the efficiency of such Parliament, and to the scrutiny of the sovereign a body, have marred their exertions, and have given people. Otherwise we should be abusing our power origin to counter-associations. They should elevate as organs of that popular mind which should be as Ireland to a full and perfect equality with England in impartial as the Goddess with the sword, the bandage, every respect ; but they should seek no further, nor and the scales. should they attempt to carry by their union any It would be no difficult undertaking to demonstrate questions not relating to their country exclusively. i the duplicity of the Guizot Administration from the The resolutions relating to temporary measures for I very defence laid by them upon the tables of the the immediate wants and exigencies of the country legislative Chambers.

The P permanent measures were then put and also carried, syllable by syllable, it were easy , in the fullest signi and we think the committee appear to ha ve exercised fication of that adjective , to show the utter absence of all honourable speaking on the part of the French good discretion, as well in the points selected as i n Government.

We cannot, however, pass over one of the many preposterous insinuations made as to Lord PALMERS TON'S inefficiency in not preventing the Mont pensier alliance, without one sentence of com mentary. We cannot allow an insinuation so mon strously opposed to truth to go forth without uttering one word of indignant contradiction. Much stress has been laid upon the sentiments expressed by the late Minister for Foreign Affairs, under the Administration of Sir ROBERT PEEL, in his communications to the Dec DE SOTOMAYOR, concerning the marriage of the Princesses of the Peninsula. An invidious distinction has been attempted to be drawn between the course pursued by Lord ABERDEEN and Lord PALMERSTON in this matter, when, in reality, there has been no re cognisable difference whatever between the course pursued by either, when, indeed, their policy, in re gard to Spain, has been almost identical ! What Lord ABERDEEN wrote to the Due DE SOTOMAYOR, Lord PALMERSTON subsequently wrote to the representative of his SOVEREIGN in Iberia. There was not a tardiness in regard to Spanish affairs on the part of Lord PALMERSTON, as has been disingenuously insinuated; nor was there any reluctance in Lord PALMERSTON to cope with the subtle and wily diplomatists of the Continent. Both these facts are notorious to every one acquainted with the circumstances antecedent to the Peninsular nuptials. Scarcely had the Noble Lord taken office, in the middle of 1846, when he cordially upheld the policy hitherto pursued by his predecessors, and in black and white committed himself to the prosecution of the plans already mapped out by Lord ABERDEEN. Remembering these things, bearing in recollection the prejudiced aspect afforded to the transaction by the papers submitted to the French Chambers, know ing that within scarcely half a dozen days the coun ter-statement of Lord PALMERSTON will be laid before Parliament, and impressed with the considera tion that judgment should never be pronounced until both parties have been heard, we again protest dis tinctly and emphatically against the prejudging of Lord PALMERSTON upon this delicate and important matter. On the 22d of last month it became our painful duty to offer some very severe strictures upon the unfor tunate loss of judgment and temper evinced by the Lord Chief Baron, in the Court of Exchequer, in the case of GOLDICUTT V BEAGIN. Mr. COCKBURN— in consequence of his having been told by the Judge, Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK, in the presence of the jury who were to try the cause, that the mode in which he meant to conduct his client's defence " was little short of insanity," and in conse quence of his having failed the next morning to in duce the Judge to postpone the trial, on the ground that such an impression militated against the ends of justice, that the minds of the jury could not but be thereby prejudiced—im mediately retired from the Court, the cause was tried as an undefended one, and the jury gave heavier damages, by 1001., than had been ob tained upon the first trial. Under these circum stances, we thought it our duty to eulogize the course adopted by the counsel, and to censure that taken by the Chilbf Baron. We felt that justice had miscarried through a grievous error into which one of the highest functionaries had unguardedly fallen; that, for the mutual honour of the Bench and the Bar (which have deservedly merited such high repute in this country), a s well for the sake of the people to whom the impartial administration of justice is of vital importance, this matter could not be suffered to drop; and we added, that " it was almost impossible to surmise whether a greater legal indiscretion had ever been manifested on the ben c h? , On Thursday Mr. COCKBURN moved for a new trial on the strength o f the circumstances above narrated, All the Barons co ncurred in the p ro p riet y of g rantin g the application,and Sir FREDERICK P OLLOCK , a t th e close deliberation, observed:—" I may say of the un feignedly that I willingly assent to any course which will best tend to justice in this case, and I am far from thinking that where the judge has committed an indiscretion the defendant is to be debarred of his rights." Thi s i s a candid admission, and highly honourable to the Chief Baron. We only wish he had begun and ended with what we have just quoted. He would then have saved himself from palpable con tradictions, and from a sharp stroke of wit adminis tered by Mr. COCKBURN. Slr FREDERICK POLLOCK, it seems, could not rest satisfied with his own con fession of error, but intimated that the judicial " in discretion had been followed by another on the part rejoined—" If, my Lord, I for the defendant." Mr. of the Learned Cou nsel I can only plead that I committedCOCKBUBN indiscretion,aptlY was accessory to a principal." This smart sally con siderably excited the risible faculties of the audience. We were fully prepared for a slight exhibition on the bench of an esprit du corps, to soften the features of the mishap of their venerable compeer. There is an old saying, " the least said the soonest mended," which the judges would have done well to have borne in mind. The Barons PARKE and AL DERSON were not very felicitous in their remarks. Baron PLATT alone best represented the character of an English judge on this occasion, who said, with great nobility of mind, when the counsel admitted the application he urged was without precedent—" If it be necessary to make a prece dent in order to ad minister justic e , a precedent ought to be made." Mr. Baron PARKE, it would appear, thought it highly nconvenient to take away from the j ud g e the dis cretion of expre ss i ng his feelings du rin g the p ro g ress of a cause. Mr. COCKBURN well reminded him that it was of graver importance, that a judge should not be allowed to prejudice any case. It surprises us, that a judge of the extraordinary abilities which Mr. Baron PARKE possesses (and who, if judicial talents alone—which unfortunately they do not—de termined the appointments to the chief seats of jus tice, should long ago have been Chief Baron) should imagine, that the precedent w hich, in this case, has been most properly established, can have the effect of depriving the judges of offering discreet remarks during a trial. We admit it to be desirable that the judge should be suffered to exercise a discretion, but then it must be couched in measured terms. The value of the precedent now set on foot will consist in this, that hereafter no judge will presume to insinuate to a counsel, and particularly in the presence of the jury, that he has advised, and is acting, like a madman, or little short of one. But we protest, broadly and generally, against any judge making any remarks (especially in the outset of a trial), however measured may be his language, upon the line of defence proposed to be followed by counsel. Such a course cannot be taken without a ten- , ~.. . •i -,.

Summonses were issued yesterday from the Foreign-office to the Cabinet Ministers to attend a Cabinet Council, appointed to be held at three o'clock this afternoon, at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. The whole of the Ministers were expected to attend. PRIVY COUNCIL. On Monday next her MAJESTY will hold a Privy Council, for the purpose of settling the Royal Speech on opening the session of Parliament on the following day. The summonses for this Council were issued to-day. The great meeting of the nobility, gentry, and landed proprietors of Ireland, which took place on Thursday last, must awaken the most lively feelings of pleasure and gratification in the mind of every one desirous of the well-being and prosperity of the sistef' kingdom. The monster grievance of Ireland the mutual distrust and jealousy that has so long unhappily prevailed amongst her children—was for once completely vanquished. No trace of its existence could be discovered ; persons of all shades and varieties of political feeling, of all:creeds and parties, were to be seen co 'operating together, and carrying on their proceedings in the most harmonious manner, good-will and fellow ship prevailed on every side, former animosities were forgotten, feuds were reconciled, and the only contest appeared to be which could labour most zealously in behalf of Ire- land. As the Noble Chairman truly said, " they were assembled together as Irishmen, on Irish grounds, for Irish objects; their sole object was the good ( f their common country, and the hatchet of political animosity was buried for that day at least." Let us hope that it may never again be raised from the tomb to which it has been so consigned, but that henceforth the calmut of peace may occupy its place, and that there may be an end of "Civil dissension, with its virrous tooth, That gnaws the bowels of the common wealth." The most gratifying part of the proceedings was the perfect unanimity that prevailed. No word was uttered, no sentiment expressed that could have given offence to the most fastidious ; the mere sugges tion that the pressing any point might, by a possi bility, occasion a difference of opinion, was sufficient to ensure its immediate withdrawal. Every one of the resolutions submitted to the meeting were unanimously carried, and the assembly separated, having passed all the resolutions prepared for adop tion by the committee. The exclusion of the - press, on which we have already commented, was most properly abandoned, and the sanction of the meeting was given to the full publication of the proceedings. This is as it ought to be—a good cause should never seek conceal ment, should never shun the light. If the resolutions are good in themselves they will bear the freest dis_ cussion, the most rigid investigation. Any restric tion on the press carries with it prima facie evidence of something wrong or defective in that which is sought to be suppressed. We are happy to find that the committee discovered their error in good time, and that they candidly acknowledged it, and acted in obedience to their better judgment. It is a good thing when public men are thus ready to retrace their footsteps, when convinced of the propriety of doing so; it affords a propitious augury that they will be open to reason and argument, and will not adhere with blind obstinacy to any hastily conceived opinions. The first resolution proposed was that last adopted by the committee. It was in support of the formation of an Irish party, and contained a strong appeal to the representatives of the coun try to co-operate together cordially in Parlia ment, and to unite in advocating such measures as may appear calculated to raise the social, material, and moral condition of the people, to save society from the ruin by which all classes in the land are now threatened, and to pre serve the property of the country from confis cation : this was proposed by Mr. GEORGE ALEX. HAMILTON and seconded by Mr. O'CONNELL, in short and pithy speeches, indeed, there were no long-winded orations indulged in during the day. The speakers seemed to have adopted for their motto, " Xeta non verba," and thus exhibited a stronger proof of the sin cerity of their determination. It was on this resolution that the only cloud that appeared to threaten the harmony of the day appeared. Mr. OSBORNE, we think very injudiciously, asked whether the Irish party would pledge itself to oppose the Government if it refused to adopt some practical measure for the relief of the people. He, however, immediately withdrew the question on its impropriety being pointed out by Mr. MOUNSELL. Mr. OSBORNE is an Englishman, representing an English con stituency, so that the indiscretion did not pro ceed from any Irishman. It is, however, but justice to Mr. OSBORNE to say that he has fully and entrely identified himself with the country of his adoption, and in which he is now the proprietor of extensive estates, and that none of her children can be more devoted to her interests, more anxious for her welfare, or desirous of her prosperity, than he has shown himself to be. He has laboured indefatigably for the formation of an Irish party, and he has seen the call re sponded to in a manner that could scarcely have been hoped for by the most sanguine. Already nearly 80 Peers, and representatives of the people have enrolled themselves, have acknowledged their former errors, and pledged themselves to mutual concessions and to unity of action, so far as the affairs of Ireland are concerned. It i s im possible to overrate the advantages of suc h a combination, if judiciously pursued, and if there is no attempt to carry it to extraordinary SATURDAY - 10,1 1 7.14N_Tyi6 1 , kANDARY l6, dency more or less calculated to compromise th - g spirit of impartiality in which justice should be. most jealously administered. The judge who liniCis him self to such a practice immediately dr , ops the ermine, and sinks into the advocate. Nei the least detracting circumstance, in the case under considera tion, from the confidence which s‘ me people might place in Sir. F. POLLOCK'S judgment, is, that he had a whole night to reflect over the language he had used, and yet the next morning inFisted that the trial should be proceeded with. Again, on Thursday last, the Lord Chief Baron stated that " what he said was said only to the counsel, and could only be under stood by a member of the bar, and could not have the least effect upon the minds of the jury." But, at the time when Mr. COCKBURN pressed to have the trial put off, Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK attacked him for so far underrating the intelligence of a London jury as to suppose they would be prejudiced by the expressions he, (Sir F. POLLOCK) had used. This is a palpable contra diction. In December, he upholds the intelligence of a jury, when it was clear they understood what passed between the bench and the bar, for the fore man spoke out very warmly upon the subject ; in January, the Chief Baron represents the jury could have no such intelligence. We regret to be compelled to make these comments. For Sir F. POLLOCK indi vidually we entertain a very great respect; but our personal feelings are altogether merged in the vene ration we feel for the high office he holds, the lore of justice, and the good of the nation. Intelligence has been received from Friburg to the 10th. The Grand Council has conferred full powers on the Council of State, authorising it to adopt all necessary measures for the suppression of the insur rection. M. FR,ELICHER, ex-Attorney-General of the canton, and Dr. SCHALLER, a son of the late Avoyer, are among the persons who have been ar rested. Fifteen prisoners taken at Morut have been brought in chains to Friburg. Colonel COURANT, of the Neufchatel militia, who was formerly an officer in the English army, is one of these unfortunates. Madrid papers of the Bth have arrived. The Gaceta publishes a decree appropriating 30,000 reals to the construction and repair of public reads. The Hera/do notices, without contradicting it, a rumour of an approaching change in the Ministry, and adds, that the change will not take place until the Cabinet shall have presented its measures to the Cortes. Senor CORTINA has arrived in Madrid, and taken his seat as a member of the Chamber. Senor OLOZAGA arrived at Pampeluna on the 3d, but, ac cording to the Clamor Pablico, " in such a state of health that it was considered necessary to call in a physician, who declared that it would be dangerous to confine him in the citadel ; but, notwithstanding this opinion, a room was being prepared in the citadel for his reception. The Tiempo states that General PAvIA has been appointed to supersede General VILLALoNGA as Go vernor of Gallicia. The Foment() of Barcelona announces that the Junta of Direction of the Mataro Railroad had contracted with Messrs. MAcKENztE and BRASSIE for the con struction of the line for 120,0001. MADRID BOLSA, JAN. 7.—The Three per Cents. were done at 32/ for cash; the Five per Cents. at 201. ; the Coupons at 18'1; the Vales at 8i; and the Debt without Interest at 61. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Debats has a long article laudatory of the con duct of M. GurzoT in the affair of the Spanish mar riages. it is merely a ref neiamento of M. GUIZOT'S voluminous note, mingled with much bitter personal vituperation of Lord PALMERSTON. The Epoque has an article which is the echo of that in the Debats, and the Presse is equally exaggerated in its praises of M. GUIZOT, and excessively violent in its abuse of England. The National is of course delighted at the quarrel, which by its sarcasms—and certainly son: e of them are most telling—it endeavours by every means in its power to aggravate. The National says— "We have read IN ith great attention the diplomatic documents laid before the Chambers by M. Guizot. They are very far from being complete, and although they may suffice at a pinch to enable one to form a judgment on the conduct of the Cabinet, we think it our duty to reserve our opinion until we have before us the publica tions which, on his side, Lord Palmerston will make known. Another reason, which inipoes on us this re serve, is, that the second note of the English Minister is not a discussion against M. Guizot, but rather against the King. Lord Palmerston imagined, in his profound ignorance, that M. Guizot had been only a clerk, and he treats him somewhat as such ; it is no longs r against the Cabinet, but against the Court, that he inveighs— an unworthy profanation, which the French Minister repels with a certaip pride. But the refutation involves the accusation, and as Lord Palmerston inhabits a con stitutional country, as he ought to be aware to what a point inviolability is a pr i nciple full of modesty, we do not understand how he has thus brought forward the King's person, the King's will, and the King's engage ments. It appears to us very necessary that Lori Palmerston should explain what had urged him into so wicked a mode of argument, and his official communications will perhaps state it. What we have sought in vain in the papers presented by M. Guizot on the affairs of Spain, is a reason of any kind for the marriage of the Infanta with the Duke de Montpensier. There really is not one. To accept, without doubt, in all its extent the resolution of M. Guizot for the Queen's marriage, to approve highly of the policy meant to prevent England from obtaining success for the Coburg, nothing could be better. But to conclude from thence that it was absolutely necessary to unite the son of Louis Philippe to his cousin, that the solu tion was pressinc, and indispensable; and there was no other possible and better, even in the point of view of M. Guizot—there is not a word or motive in any dis patch to justify this pretension. And is it not evident how much stroncrer would the French Government have been to reject the Coburg, if the Court of the Tuileries had been as disinterested for the hand of the Infanta as for that of the Queen ? The more the dispatches are read, the more it will be seen that they do not contain a single reason justifying the marriage that has been con cluded." The National, however, offers M. GurzoT its assist ance, on condition of his adopting the Bonapartist policy of aggrandisement and conquest : "Is M. Guizot firmly resolved to pursue, without wavering, the policy which would ensure the preponder ance of France in the Mediterranean ? Let him say so, and above all, let his acts respond to his sayings. Let him announce to the Chambers and to Europe that the time has come to turn the Mediterranean into a French lake, let him combat with energy the influence of Eng land whenever she impedes our action, and we shall for get both the family intrigues, and the fault committed. He will himself feel that, fur nations as for individuals, friendship is given in exchange for services rendered, for mutual respect, and tried devotedness. He will seek in Spain not what passes away, but what lasts—the true interests of the people, its desires, its wants of liberty, good administration, regular progress ; he will know how to cultivate and find public approbation ! This is the capital point which, in our opinion, ought to prevail in the Spanish question • and if M. Guizot places himself at that height, he may ;Bow all those who desire to re-establish the English alliance, at the cost of the eternal interests of our country, to agitate themselves at his feet." IVe give the National credit for its honesty and boldness. It would obtain openly and by force what M. GruzoT seeks to obtain covertly and by intrigue. That all future attempts at converting the Mediterranean into a French lake will fail, as all former attempts to do so have failed, there cannot be a doubt ; and if, as the National desires, the cause of progress in Spain be not impeded by French intrigue, the chances of turning the Mediterranean into a French lake will be more remote than ever. At the same time, it is well to have this avowal openly made, an avowal which is a most triumphant justification of the policy of Lord PALMERSTON ; and which is alone sufficient to demonstrate to any unprejudiced mind the utter impossibility of ever renewing the entente cordiale—an understanding, the essence of which consisted in sacrificing every where English interests to the personal interests of the ICING of the FRENCH and his Minister. The Constitutionnel thus points out an unworthy piece of diplomatic trickery practised by M. GUIZOT in the publication of these dispatches : " It will be seen, in perusing the documents published by the Ministry, that M. Guizot founds nearly alt his arguments on a certain dispatch, addressed by Lord Palmerston to Mr. Bulwer, dated the 19th of July, 1846. The Ministers for Foreign Affairs of England and France are at variance respecting the actual character and meaning of that dispatch. One affirms that it had for its object to recommend the Prince of Saxe-Coburg as the English candidate, whilst the other maintains that it contained, with regard to that candi dature, the mere, mention of a fact ; and . that, on the contrary, a preference fo r Prince Don Enrique, on th e part ofßritish Cabinet , was clearly manifested by the the recal of the instructions previously given to Mr. Bulwer by Lord Aberdeen. Now, M. Guizot, instead of publishing that dispatch in full , only extra cted two sen tences from it. The Chambers will, no doubt, desire a more complete communication of that document, and will not wait the determination of the British Government itself in that respect." In relation to the Cracow papers, the Cm2stitu: tionnel says— " As respects the documents, relative to Cracow, we is 4? will cottfine ourselves to observe that no dispatch is to be found among them betw , :en the date of the 3d of April and the 6th of November. It, was pr cisely in that interval that the GorMan journals reveal , , wish so singular a unanimity, the deiberation of the Three Powers in respect ot the annexation of Cracow. This complete abs , :nce of insp:itches du: ing the months of July, August. Seleember, and Ocioner, confirms us in our °plump, that either M. Guizot connived at the men. sure, or that he was guilty of the strangest improvidence. We will, moreover, ask, why the reply of Prince Met ternich to the protest of M. Guizot, which was commu nicated to the latter on Monday last, does not figure among the documents?" The schism between M. TRIERS and the Bir.nauLT and DUFAURE section of the Opposition is now avowed. The Courrier Francais says— " A numerous meeting of the Opposition Deputies took place on Tuesday evening at the residence of M. Billault; the schism which had been talked of so much for some days previously was the subject of a long and serious conversation, and we may say that, fr,:rn this moment, it is a fuit accompli. MM. Billault and Dufaure laid before their colleagues all the points of their political programme. All the questions, either of home or foreign policy, have been clearly and explicitly treated on by the two orators, and they have both manifested their formal intention to have done with the petty Parliamentary strategy, the war of intrigue in which the constitutional Opposition has weakened itself; and lost its consequence in the suite of M. Thiers. The explanations of MM. Billault and Dufaure obtained the complete approval of the meeting. The two Hon. Deputies had not to form the conviction of the conscientious and sincere men be fore whom they expressed their intentions and their principles ; that conviction had been long before ac quired, but they decided on manifesting it openly, and it may now be side that the new Opposition, which has nothing in common with M. Thiers, is fully constituted. The meeting, which had its first sitting on Tuesday, will henceforth regularly assemble at the residence of M. Billault; the second conterenoe has been fixed to take place immediately after the discussion on the Address in the Chamber of Peers." The Standing Committees of the Chamber met on Thursday, to elect the Members to draw up an address in answer to the KING'S Speech. Eight Com missioners had been chosen—viz., Messrs.d'Hausson vile, Muret de Bord, de Bussieres, Sannac, de Came, Vitet, Peyramont, and Desmousseaux de Givre—who had all expressed their approbation of the conduct of the Ministers in the affair of the Spanish marriage, and also in respect to Cracow. The leaders of the different political sections of the Chamber all took part in the discussions, with the exception of M. THIERS and his friends. The Chamber of Peers has appointed Count MOLE as president and M. BARTHE as reporter of the Commission of the Chamber of Peers appointed to draw up the address in answer to the speech. " The new dispatch from Lord PALNIERSTON," says the Presse, which the Marquis of NORMANDY read on Tuesday to M. GUIZOT, is not more concise than his two former dispatches of '22d September and 31st October last, nor is it more peremptory. It is said to repeat the same arguments, the same facts, the same complaints, under a different form. Faithful to his system of publicity without restricti M. GUIZOT will assuredly distribute copies of this new document to the members of the Chambers, with the answer of Prince METTERNICH to the dispatch of De cember 3. This answer, while maintaining the divergence of opinion existing between the three Northern Courts and the Court of France as to the interpretation of the treatik s, so far as they relate to the independence of Cracow, ex presses a hope that this difference in interpretation will not cause any change in anterior relations. It concludes with a protestation in favour of the respect due to treaties." The Commerce says " The Council of the Bank of France has determined on raising its rate of dis count to 5 per cent. Some members of the Court consider that this me asure would not be sufficient to bring back specie into the coffers of the Bank, and proposed to limit the length of date of bills admissi ble for discount to sixty days ; this latter measure has, however, been reserved for more difficult -con junctures. Since the month of December the cash in the Bank has still further decreased; it is now, it is said, no more than fifty-seven millions." The ex-President of the Republic of Bolivia, General SANTA Cauz, has arrived in Paris. The price of corn still continues to rise through out France, and although the bread riots at Rennes have been suppressed, yet it required the presence of a large military force to re-establish tranquillity, and the riot was nut suppressed without bloodshed.
