LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCIE 2.

Tits journals of the Elyse* profess to be in the
realest exultation because the new Minister of
"nation AFFAIR* in England had visited the psi-
saner of Ham. We marvel very much that the
Haitian of LONDONDERRY has not got a place. If
he had, how it would have stirred the hopes of the
labylimi of Algeria. the Marquis having visited
AIID-11.-K ADES at Ambuise, and chivalrously inter-
Ilind with the French government on the Arab
elders behalL We marvel much at men who, like
11011 t rulers of France, have shown sagacity at

Mr to rely, upon the personal character

ce Isininga of this or that English minister. Lot: is
314Fenatat may depend upon it, that whoever hap-
pin libe installed in Downing street, there is one
sad the IMO policy imposed upon all, with reference
to a milled so well known and cared for as British
rebid's, with France. No minister in this country
could form a close and cordial alliance with a prince
who has sacrificed his country's liberties, and built
his power on the unstable foundation of military no-
quimeence. And no minister in this country would be
tolerated on vnintonly quarrelling with a prince on this
account, especially whilst his own country submitted
to his assumption and his rule. A cold neutrality is
all that can be had from England, and that neutra-
lity accompanied in every sensible man's mind by an
utter mistrust of any such government's enduring.
In fact, Loris NAPOLEON s rule and Lord MALYLS-
MAT'S ministry are very much in the same
predicament. Lab have got where they are by
walking on the shoulders of liberal" parties
who disagreed and fought. The only. security
for Lot is N.trotrox is the uncertainty and
dread of what might come after him. Lord
Matamisnunce chief is minister by the some
tenure, uncertainty and ignorance of what might
follow his dism:wal. The great majority of
English politicians and English men see with disgust
and alarm a peaty in power, which indeed cannot
legislate much to the detriment of the good cause,
bat which may advance Pnatrorrs to the mitre, and
Eunons to the bench; may give up education exclu-
sively to the National Society, buck reform, and in
fact suspend the onward progress of the country how-
ever unable to turn the movement backwards.

Louts NAPOLEON has more power, for he can not
only fill the offices of state with reactionista, but he
can remodel government and state to receive and to
suit them. He can appoint a senate which shall
have nought to decide or discuss, a consultative
council which no one deigns to consult, a coned
d'iditt to which no state affairs are referred ; but
every one feels that there are too many card houses,
peopled by puppets, which are set up to amuse, but
which will not stand seriously in the way of what-
ever power to whose lot may faU the task of restora-
tion and redress.

So tar is tie resemblance carried out between the
two parties, which to their own astonishment, as
well as to that of their respective countries, have been
borne by a chance wave to office in England and in
France. Neither can do any great harm in domestic
policy, nor indeed in foreign, notwithstanding the
natural alarm caused by their very advent. And
neither can last a day longer than the discovery of a
respectable government ready and able to take their
pisee.
Meantime the farce of a general election, by uni-
versal seltimie too, goes on in France. With regard
to this sisetisa the government shows itself full of
tears, and the public full of indifference and con-
teenpt--twe sentiments and attitudes which princes
and peephr cannot long preserve towards each other.
These depths, when they come together. are not

WHILE the re-elution of the new ministers and
