THE DEBATE AND. THE FRENCH
GOVERNMENT.

The Joann! des Dad& of to-day notices with
delicate irony the rebuke end warning which it has
i just received from Count de Moray. It says :

We shall be reserved reeperting the inoidsst of which
the Anima/ da Dlbas was the occasion at the com-
useammest of Koaday's sitting of the Legislative Corps.
Lceg•tried and avowed partisans of the rights of meemblim,
and more inclined, u is known, to eased their preroga-
tives than to restrain them, we shall be little suspected of
seeking frivolously to diminish the consideration which
ought to surround them in the country; and although the
macs of the amaary consideration for milemblies may be
espeoistly in themselves, we never disputed the right which
is attributed to them of defending themselves against
allarnal attacks which exceed the limit of inde-
pendent eritichms. We regret that we have seemed
to pus beyond that limit, whin we were under
the imps tea that we had aely repeated an
opinion enamel more than oars by the members of the
minority. At ell events we believe we are as little open as
wpm* to the suspicion of desiring to injure the liberty of
padiumniari deliberations. Oar legislative assemblies
hem bet a attain part of their old prerogatives in relation
to the astral power, but they appeal' to have preserved
the whole of their prerogatives with regard to the public.
We Asks the fact without oomplaining of it. There is in
Let a certain kind of attack by means of the press or by
word of month wWch arsemblies cannot long endure
without damage to the country and to the mission which is
coolided to them. It would be easy for us to give examples
which cannot have escaped all memories. Let it adios to
say that while maintaining our right of criticism towards
deliberative assemblies, we underetaod it otherwise, and
that such examples will never serve either as a model or
I an mum.

FRANCE AND RUSSIA.

PARIS. Nov. 18.

The statement published by a London paper,
that Baron de Budberg had stated to hi. Drouyn
de Lhuys, u Prince Gortehakoff's reply, that
Russia would participate in the Congress, but not
until after the pacification of Poland, is entirely
unfounded.

PORTUGAL.
LISBON, Nov. 17.
Senhor Antonio Jose de Avila has been appointed
the delegate to be present on the part of the King
of Portugal at the Paris Congress.
A friendly compromise between the government
and Mr. Lindsay is expected.

THE PROPOSED SWEDISH LOAN.
BERLIN, Nov. 17.
Advioes received here from Stockholm state that
the committee upon the national debt has resolved
to postpone contracting a new loan until further
proposals are received, more particularly from
abroad.

AMERICA.
QUEENSTOWN, Nor. 18.
The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia
Company's steamship Etoa, from New York on the
7th inst., arrived here this morning with 57 cabin
and 50 steerage passengers, and 146,000 dollars in
specie. She landed 13 passengers and the mails,
and prouended at 1.45 a.m.

"A Traveller" writes to the Times :—" After
reading the leading article on the subject of Japan on the
4th inst. I thought I would tell you that from my expo-
rienoe, extending over 15 years iu canons parts of the
world, I believe we being all oar troubles upon ourselves,
and mostly richly &aerie them ; for wherever ao English-
man goes be carries with him the belief that his country is
so rich and poweiful, and that he himself is such an august
animal, that he sea tre.eple the mappers and cherished
customs of other maims ander his feet with impunity. I
have seen this over and over again, and often, when expect-
ing a row, have been surprised to see the auger of some
justly item forgiver cool down iota • sort of contempt
when he discovered his imitator to Mealy an Eaglihmun.'
I ha►e seen thioga done abroad by Beellalimea which, if
dope by any foreigner io this country, would bring uiso
him instant punishment at the hands of the people." The
"Traveller" thee proceeds to claweibe nem of the outages
be has witnessed.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(raox oua owi an

PARIS, TCZSDLY EVIIIDIG.

The editors of all the journals in Paris were yes-
terday sent for to the Ministry of the Interior, and,
being admitted one by one to the awful presence of
M. Bondet, were informed of the scrape into which
the Paris press had got itself by its remarks upon
the elections, and the way in which the Corps
Legislatif was disposing of them. The editors were
warned to be extremelycareful about their remarks
upon the debates, and given to understand that
the government was on the look-out, and disposed
to enforce rigorously the catching laws which make
it dangerous to notice the debates at all. Under
these inauspicious circumstances, the journals are
more cautious than usual. The Biecfe and the
I Patric announce that they suspend their usual
running comment upon the current debates.
Notwithstanding the private warning which has
struck terror into the journals, some of them ven-
ture to observe that the Corps Legislatif yesterday
showed excessive indulgence to the malpractices of
the prefect of the Pas de Calais in the case of M.
Degouves Denuncques. The rampant majority
made such a noise that M. Glas Bizoin could
not be heard at all, when he attempted to set
forth how the prefect attempted to corrupt
upwards of fourscore electors who had been
sentenced to fines and coats for depredations in
public forests, by promising that he would write to
the Emperor for a remission of their sentences, and
that if he did not succeed, he would take care that
they should be pardoned "in some other way."
This extraordinary assumption of power, paramount
to the imperial prerogative, excited wonderment
in the public press some days ago, and it is truly
discreditable to the chamber that such abuses
should be laughed at and slurred over.
There is • great deal of disagreeable news from
Mexico, which the government keeps in the back-
ground as well as it can. The Vigie of Cherbourg
ventures to publish a correspondence, which says
that the French have no influence whatever in the
country beyond the immediate reach of their
bayonets' points, and that a force of 50,000 men at
least is required to hold it.
A reinforcement of 1,000 men is going out from
Cherbourg on the 23rd instant.
The Bourse does not recover. Route fell to-day
lie. and Mobilier sfr. The Bank bullion continue'
to decrease, and no doubt is felt that the bullion
will be raised to 8 per cent. on Thursday. There
is a talk of requiring bills to have only two months
to run instead of three.

A Berlin letter says :—" The project of marriage
between the Count of Flanders and a Brazilian princess is
understood to have fallen through, Ia consequence of the
count's disinclin►tion to exchange his pleasant bachelor ex.
istence in Europe fora resideeoe in the Brazils, with the pro-
spect of hereafter finding himself the consort of ea empreme.
The King:of the Belgian' is said to have been very desirous of
the match, but be (Quad it impossible to overcome his son's
resistance. But for that, we might have looked forward to
hereafter seeing a Belgian prince enthroned at Rio, and •
Belgian prince at Mexico, both from that famous king-pro-
ducing house of Saxe•Coburg-Gotha."
A few days ago a strange scene was enacted in

the railroad in question are Mr. Braseey and some of his
London friends.

16th mays : —" The Emperor yesterday afternoon reviewed
the troops in ganison in the town as well sa the National
Guard, and afterwards distributed recompense. During
the dinner the Orpli6ooists of Compßgne sang a cantata
composed in honour of the Empress, sod their Majesties, on
leaving the table, graciously thanked the singers, who were
drawn up on their paella At nine in the evening, the
bands of the two regiments aeaembled at the trod of the
long avenue dee Beaux-Monts. at the back of the
palace, and afterwards proceeded by the light of an.
merous torches to the front of the palace, when they
performed several floe morreaux in premiere of their Ma
ties, who, with the guede at the palms, were on the bal.
000 y. The performance elicited airy loud applause, for
which the Emperor repeatedly gave the signal. In the end
the bends Eel off, playing the rdraite, composed in the
Crimea by N. tinnier, bead-master of the Ist Grenadine
of the Guard. On pasting before their Majesties, enthu-
siastic cries of `• rimperatrice," arose, her Majesty
being the principal object of the fits. The bands, fol-
lowed by the people, then played through the town, the
whole gone having a very picturesque effect by torchlight."
