and if in these last years her ezternal policy has
shout some complication and railed sometimes
alarms, it is only just to acknowledge that aloes thr mew
'ion of the Derby ministry she has been frankly caadialiti
and moderate. _ _ . _

After recapitulating the various foreign achieve-
meats of the new government, the Constitedinsmel
remarks that these attest; the conclusion that Eng-
land, isolated for a moment, has resumed in the
European union the place and influence due to her.
Less pleasing to the semi-official French journal is
the announcement of the treaties concluded with
King Dahomey, and the chiefs of the Bight of Benin.
On these it observes :
This is the enterprise being followed up ea*
which was commenced by England twenty rune 4.1.1.6
which must place under her patroness all the 'Mb Sad all
the sovereigns of Atrial, and plate in her loads Hle whole
commies of this rich country. This deelssadaa ado
English government will be a subject of alma fir war raw&
time commerce, which is subjected On a eUmpulitiim au,
sharp, and often so unfair on the part a the Ili Indere.
It is also a 'abject of just regret, Kiss Ilkkawy laving
loudly declared his intention to treat with Yaws ia pre.
ferene• to England, an intention which has b Sail frus-
trated by a deplorable combination of eircumstimem.
The lA:bats observes, that for Europe and the
foreign powers the Queen of England's speech con-
tains nothing of importance, except the assurances
of peace which are given to them, and of which the
sincerity is confirmed by the explanations accom-
panying the announcement of the Militia Bill. On
the other hand it regrets that the Derby ministry
should have thought it necessary to proclaim of-1
cially that the religion of the state is attacked and
menaced by a confession, which for 300 years has
been treated as vanquished on the other side of the
channel, and which to her great honour England
during a quarter of a century has been tending to
relieve from the consequences of defeat. "It is pos-
sible," says the D4ats, " that the ministry has
chosen, by hoisting this flag, a vantage-ground, but
it is to be regretted that the eminent men who com-
pose it have thought proper to make this appeal to
passions of which we do not deny the sincerity, but
fear the violence."
The Pays, speaking of the paragraph relating to
the Militia Bill, says :
However strange this provision may ..p pear, there is no-
thing in it to cause uneasiness when talon in connexion
with the pacific declarations to be found in the first part of
the royal speech.
The Prise, after quoting the passage relative to
the Militia Bill, adds---" It is long since the possi-
bility.of having to defend England against a foreign
invasion had been mentioned in a speech of the
crown.

Some more details are published to-day concerning
the gas-pipe plot u it is called but nothing has
transpired, so far as I am aware, to prove that the
fabrication of an infernal machine for the purpose of
assassinating the President wu intended. The
Adrie says, on the contrary, that the iron tubes
were to be inserted among the stones of barricades,
and to serve as a sort of artillery for those irregular
fortifications. But they would have been probably,
if employed, quite as dangerous to the parties who
made use of such rude cannon, as to those for whose
destruction they were devised, the breech of the bar-
rels being stopped with wood. It would seem that
the dimensions of the tubes have been much exag-
gerated, as the DOloats states that they are about twa
feet long, and two inches in diameter. There is a
large touch-hole near the breech, which is stuffed
with mastic, and plugged with wood. The wrap-
ping of tarred cloth seems a device borrowed from
the wooden guns of Gustavus Adolphus, which were
strengthened in this way. Eight barrels were found
in the house of the Rae de la Reine Blanche, and four
in the possession of people in other places. As to
the personages who figure in this plot, the antstitu-
' tionnel gives the following further details :
The leaders of this ridiculous end contemptible attempt
appear to be one of the persons who conducted the (bar

stated, of pieces of gas-pipe. The es-editor is one of the
pintoes arrested, es is the porter, and hie wife sad

women have also been taken into custody. The ex-
prisoner of Belle-Isle contrived to escape, but has sines

tailors, a emu tor, and a woman who had lived with a

what might vesscsably have been espected, still it
deserves moths as a marked step of transition from
the magistrate to the monarch, and the discontinu-
ance of the most popular custom of the President,
while he considered himself amenable to the control
of public opinion.
The Mositeur condescends at last to mention the
cue-pipe plot; but whether the affair be serious or no
it is evidently the official cue to treat it as lightly. as
possible, as you will perceive from the following
brief notioce :
The day before yesterday, at halfgeist five in the even-
ing, MM. Balestrion and Nurse, 00111M1010[1, rs delegated
by the prefect of police, proceeded to arrest thirteen indi-
viduals found in the act of the clandestine manufacture of
warlike arms. Other arrests took plate yesterday, and the
o. culled, to the number of 32. have been delivered up to
justice. The facts whith bare been diettl!rftl iii, to the
present time have riot the ';reedy which some joutnala at-
tach to them. A ntil':,ary plot, said to have broken out at
Rt. Ono,, has been more vaguely talked of. This report
r reels upon no foundation.
The Pay* says:
We have received some fresh ill formation relative to the
affair of the accused of the Rue de la Reine• Blanche. The
matter being now in the hands of justice, we think it right
to refrain from produc.ng the news which has reached us.

The reasons for the appointment of this commis-

the decree :

1850, primes/ LsUatisa sum rim elementary instruct-

the rural temmtunes at an early me with good methods of
cultivilisn, sad to Meta them to love the labours of the
fields; considering that the Prince President has allotted
out et his own dotatima a salleisat sum to enable a trial of

given to these schoolmuters. 3. To overlook the practical
teaching of agriculture in these schools, and to propose
measures calculated to insure the success of the experiment.
M. do la Salmonidre, the nephew of General de
Bouehamp, has written to the sub-prefect of (la-
teaubriand to withdraw the oath of obedience to the
constitution and fidelity to the President which ho
took as mayor of Petetmas, and, as a consequence,
to resign the office.
