THE CORPS LEGISLATIF.
PARIS, FEB. 26.

A short but very animated debate took place to-
day in the Corps Legislatif, on the subject of the
official report of the previous sitting. M. Ronher
then made a speech in reply to that delivered yes-
terday by M. Jules Fevre. M. Rouher said :
" M. Jules Fevre, in declaring that necessity gave
rise to the decree of the 19th of January, has mis-
understood the Emperor, who on being raised to
the throne devoted his thoughts to the exami-
nation of the wants of the age, and who after grant-
ing freedom to commerce said to himself—' All
liberties are sisters.' " M. Rouher added that
the ministers of the Emperor would realise in a
large sense the liberal programme of the 19th of
January. This declaration was received with
loud cheers. Some members then demanded that
the discussion should be closed, but this demand was
not acceded to. M. Emile 011ivier spoke in terms
of praise of the decree of the 19th of January,
which was again unfavourably criticised by M.
Jules Favre. The Chamber finally adopted the
order of the day by 241 to 25 votes. The com-
mittee on the budget will be appointed on Friday
next.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

BT. PETERSBURG, FRB. 26.

The /nen/ids of to-day points out that Turkey
cannot poasibly grant her Christian populations any
radical reforms, if abe remain faithful to the prin-
ciples of the Koran, and adds :—" The only prac-
ticable course for the Porte to adopt is to separate
the Mahomedans from the Christians, and restore
to the latter their independence."

THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION.
PARIS, FIB. 26.
_ .

The Paris papers publish the following telegram,
dated Corfu, Feb. 24, as emanating from a Greek
source :—"On the 13th and 14th inst. engage-
ments took place in the western portion of Crete.
Eight thousand Turkish troops, from Hersclion,
were defeated by the Cretans near Gerakari, and
fell back, leaving behind them two guns, five flags,
100 mules, and many prisoners. The imperialists
received reinforcements from Canes, but they at-
tempted in vain to occupy the province of Selino.
In another part of the island a body of Ottoman
troops were beaten by the insurgents on the 11th
and 12th inst. Since then the combatants retain
their positions. Fresh massacres are announced
to have been perpetrated by the Turks. The
Cretans elected as delegates to Constantinople re-
fuse to proceed to that city. The Cretan Assembly
General persists in its demand for the annexation
of Candia to Greece?'
