PAM% SVXDAY EVININO.

The Cossatiguiionitsi has an article in three or
against the Eugßah press of a more furious
character than anything of the kind that has lately
been written. Alter throwing off a numbs: of florid
eentences, complaining in a general way of odious
calumnies, it adopts the pretty notion that has bin
ventilated somewhere already, namely, that lb* war
being over, and the writers in the English roc
having no loupe an excuse for speaking evil of ask
own general and commissariat °facers, they have
taken to calumniate Framer, simply on account of
the necessity imposed upon them by the
appetite of the British public to find something
to abuse. The London papers, it says, keep resident
=respondents in Paris, who being expected to send
news every day, and having often none to send, ex-
ercise their imaginative powers and invent stories to
show their zeal for their employers. Condescending
to particulars, the Cosetairionnel proceeds to cite es
an instance showing the justice of its accusation, that
owing to an invention of one of these terrible Paris con•
respondents, London woke up a few morni age sgounder
the impression that Paris was in a state of "open in.
surreotion," and that the public in London believed
the story foe "several boors." In the next sentence
it goes farther, and avers that London "the great
centre of so many resFectable interests," was kept is
a state of alarm all day by this false report. After
having found this notable mare's nest, it draws a
graphic picture of the mendacious Paris
correspondent putting his tongue in his cheek
and hogging himself with delight at the
success of his invention. After this sally I really
think, prejudice apart, the palm for fertility of
imagination must be awarded to the comaitutionnal.
Warming with its subject, it waxes more and more
wroth, and, rising into eloquence, says:
" We beg to tell the English journals that we are
a nation of 33,000,000 of men, united, resolved, eman.
cipated by sixty years of revolution, and enfhiently
instructed by experience as to the respective merits
of all forms of government, that we have chosen that
which we have, knowing what we were about in the
free exercise of national sovereignty, and that we
,can

well dispnee with any advice, more especially
foreign advice. France is great enough to go alone,
and does not want the English journals to take her
by the hand."
The fatal facility with which supigassatery in-
dite to the Widget have lately been meted by be.
perial decree, reducing the votes •)f the Corps
latif to a mere idle form, has at length attracted es
much attention that it has been thought necessary to
propitiate public opinion by imposing mime sort of
check upon them. A decree dated Nov. 10 appears in
the ileniteur of this morning, by which it is ordained
that after Jan. 1, 1837, no supplemental or extraor-
dinary credit shall be granted while the Corps
Legialatif is not sitting, except by the advice of the
Council of State, the Finance Minister having been
in every hut's°. first consulted, and countersigning
the dames allowing the credit. This masers, sap•

posing the Finance Minister to be a faithful public
servant, b oertainly calculated to enable him to main-
tain the uniform' system of his budget, and to check
the extravagance of other ministers.
