which he has been flattered by Englishmen be
likely to inspire the new French Government with
particularly friendly feelinp foe England P OR
true policy is to exert ourselves to oonvince the
French people that any Government they give
themselves will be acceptable to the English people
heavies it is their choice.

What farm of Government might be established
in Frames in the event of military insolence, or any
other cause, producing an explosion that might
send the present dynasty to follow the dynasties
of BOURBON and ORLEANS it is difficult to conjecture.
The law of social equality, which has become an ele-
ment of French nature, the paucity of wealthy heredi-
tary landowners, the purely official character stamped
upon all judicial and administrative functionaries,
seercely compatible with the existence of such a
limited monarchy as oar own. Besides, where is a '
royal family to be found? The very name of
NAPOLEON is indissolubly amociated with ideas of a
military and despotic Empire. The very name of
Bonnet:in is indissolubly emaciated with ideas of •
Crown claimed upon a title of iodefessible hereditary
right. Had the Oauteme family been content to
rest its claim upon the popular choice there might
have been a constitutional ciaimant of the Crown of
France, but the late amiable and high-minded
Duchess of Oautans was the only one of the family
who had the sense to see the importance of adhering
to this claim. All her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-

law have fallen into the fatal error of the fusion. With
nom but his melee for counsellors, the Count DE
Pews is but too likely to adopt this heresy ; and to
do so will be to rear an insurmountable barrier be-
tween himself and the throne of France. He will, if
he recognise the claims of the elder brunch, abdicate
any right he might be supposed to derive frees the
national choice, and will present himself to the
French people as the heir of the last childless repre-
sentative of the jure diviso myth. We have, how-
-1 ever, no fear for France. The events of February,
1848, caricatured though they have been by sal-
disant historians, show unmistakeably the eager-
' nese of all climes and parties to subject
themselves to a government of law. We
are therefore convinced that whatever revolu-
tions may be in store for Frame, they will end in
the establishment of some kind of Government that

may be, and will be, recognised by surrounding
nations. That is all that we have my concern
with ; the rest is the affair of the French people
alone.

PARIS, MONDAV BTIIITMO.

When, an Saturday last, I called attention to the
extraordinary circular of the Minister of the Interior
and Public Safety, ordering the prefects as they
valued the Emperor's favour to use all means in
their power to force charity trustees throughout the
country to sell their trust lands and buy Three per
Cents, with the produce, I was not aware that the
government had previously attempted to effect its
purpose by means of a new law, but that the Council
of State, that generally obsequious body, had
unanimously rejected the proposed bill. Such, how-
ever, I am now assured on good authority was the
ease. The circular, which is loudly criticised in
private circles in Paris, will no doubt produce wide
spread discontent in the departments. The members
of the administrative councils of charities are among

the richest and most influential people in France,
and they will certainly be disposed to resent the
military interference of General Repine's° with the
discretion in the management of charitable property
which they are by law entitled to exercise. lam
not rare that even the recipient. of charity themselves
will be pleased with the measure proposed to be taken
for their especial benefit. No doubt there is some-
thing plausible in the arguments of the Moniteur.
It is true in France as in England, that the manage-
ment of charity estates is often none of the best,
and no doubt the sale of the lands would in very
many instances bring a present increase to the
incomes of the foundations. But it is not without
pride that the poor man points to a wood, a field,
a garden, or a house, as an inheritance in which
he and his have a part in ease of need, and a coupon
of Rents will be but a shadowy entity to his senses
in exchange for the palpable evidences of a pro-
vision which land affords. The trustees, looking at
the matter with more intelligence and from a higher
point of view, will be apt to think that if the Rents
at present prices would produce a very much larger
income than the rent of the lands, the security can-
not be quite so good. The Duke of Wellington
once said in his trenchant way that high interest
was only another term forbad security. This much is
certain, that if General &pinup.'" doctrine had been
acted upon only twenty years ago—if then the
charity estates of France had been sold and con-
verted into Rentals the incomes receivable by the
charities would at this time of day have been very
much less than they now are. Land has increased,
and aooording to all reasonable prospect will con.
tines to increase in value. Charity estates have
been respected throughout all revolutions, whereas
Rentee have been tampered with and may be again.
Confidence in the Rente is like all other confidence,
" a plant of slow growth," and one not likely to be
stimulated by the orders of a military Minister of
the Interior to invest in that security. If the in-
tention were to procure a rise in the Rents by the
prospect of large purchases the Bonne has not yet
responded to the idea, for both on Saturday and
to-day the Rents was very heavy. In any cue the
calculation on this ground is likely to be deceptive,
for there is very little hoarded money
in the country applicable to the purchase
of charity estates, and in all probability Rentas
or other negotiable securities would be sold to pay
the purchase money. The measure finds some favour
with socialists and republicans—with whose prin-
ciples of state interference in everything it is entirely
in scoordance—but it will disgust and alienate very
influential sections of society who do not make a
trade of politics.

The Conference will re-assemble on Wednesday,
the 26th, and not on Tuesday, as wee at one time
announced.

It hu been stated is an English journal that
Prince Napoleon has gained his point, and will be
appointed LiPutenant-Oeneral of Algeria without
being made subordinate to a minister in Paris. This
is not exactly correot. It will be found that the
Ministers of War and Marine will preserve the su-
premacy which they now have. The new repre-
sentative of the Emperor will only be a quasi sove-
reign in so far as the interior administration is oon-

corned. The Prince will, it is said, take a trip to Alge-
ria next month ; but he will return to Paris, and will
not be installed in his government till the latter end
of the summer.

The Bonne continues weak, hat the railway
market was a little better, in consequence of a report
that the government has at length prevailed upon
the Bank of France to advance 130 millions to the
railway companies, so as to prevent the necessity
for the issue of any more obligations during the
year. The Rente fell 6c. for cash, closing at 69fr. 70c.,
and closedat 69fr. 75c. (yesterday's price) for account.
The Mobilise fell 31r. 76c. The Orleans Railway
rose 10fr., and the other lines from 2fr. 60c. to 6fr.

A grandams of the Duke de Broglie, who is in the
navy, has been appointed aide-de-oamp to Captain
commanding the " Ocean " squadron.
M. de rene remains in a precarious state. Figaro
has been ordered not to publish any more bulletins
concerning his health, and to close the book in
which persona calling to make inquiries write their
name,.
