nattered ever the country i though each a referees.
would be wholly useappertable in pact et fact.

It is voisewhat difliCilt to docile whether in this
plumage the Duke ascribes our freedom from anarchy
to the repressive power of the army, or to the exam-
ple'. of the piscisigi of bravery and good disoiplies"
set as by the " whip's," be says, " bee its el-
fret eaten al dames of the people." Perhaps the
Duke attributes oar peaceable endues partly to
the manifestatioes of military bayonets, which we
sometimes aceidentally vitae's, and partly to the
example of military manners, which we hardly ever
poise. If so, it is not, we trust, any offence to my,
hie Gram is very much mistaken ; and that his mis-
take involves a very great libel on the character and
intelligence of the hagfish people, and has a tendency
to pro long • vwy unnecessary berthen on the Eng-
lish flouted'.

Since the folly and wickedness of continental
priteee beenght an the roved/idles of 1818, their an-
archies, Gan consequent repreasions, on Estop.,
there has been but ono crisis in the politi-
cal occurrences of Eaglaud to which the
most timid could attach any danger; and
now that we can coolly look back on the
10th of ApeiL it is not easy to say whether Mr.
Fustian; O'Cottcon or Sir °sown GARY did, 03
that OCORAIOII, most to frighten the metropolis.
Bat, u to the value of that day, it certainly
lay, not in the military, bat in the civil display it
provoked. After Sir Joan Monks had inspeatd
Mr. Prres regiment of Kentish Yeomanry, oa the
reearrence of war in 1802, Mr. I'm asked that great
general where he would place the regiment in cue
of invasion "On the heights above'us," he replied,
" whilst I Pepel the invaders below." And so, pro-
bably, the Duke would have done the fighting of the
10th April, had anybeen necessary,with the gourds, and
done it effectually. Bat to infer, therefore, that we
owed either the peace of London on that day, or our
geueral trargaillity at any time, to the army, is
manifes:ly and glaringly absurd. It is more—for it
is libellous.

The people of this country are from tradition, from
baits, from occupation, from intelligence, and from
still higher and better qualities, peaceably disposed.
They have, the poorest amongst them, just as much
honor and dislike of violence, of civil disturbance, or
of revolutionary movements, as the proudest aristo-
natio or the naiad manufacturer in the kingdom.
They arelong-suffering, enduring, patient. Toey know
that in some respects they are not well governed;
but they feel sad perceive that on the whole the ten-
dency of government is to improve their condition.
Thouah with the slowness of this tendency they are
not sati'fled, they have sufficient power to prevent
' retrogrenion; and they know that when once they
base made up their minds on any great and unfal
change, that change must be made. Consequently,
they have e .nddence and hope in the system of go-
vernment under which they live; it is only when that'
germ shall have bees found to be adverse to
improvement, that they will be tempted
into revolutionary courses; and, when so tempted,
neither the bayonets nor the manners of the Cold-
stream Guards will be of much avail against a
popular rising of the English people. Te describe
such a people as only, or as chiefly, or as partly, kept
in subordination by military force or by military ex-
ample, is wholly to misunderstand them.

When, then, the foremost man of this age is to be
found indulging in such misemerrious, they mast
not be allowed to pass without remark or prated.
Truth is just as necessary at a military festival as at
a civic feast.

THE COMMISSION OP INQUIET INTO THE SYSTEM
OF PLTADING IN THE SUPERIOR LAW COURTS.—We
regret to say that the personnel of the commission got
up by the Attorney-General for the purpam of en-
quiry into the system of pleading in the courts at
Westminster and on circuit, does not warrant any
very sanguine hopes as to the result of its labours.
There is not one of the commissioners who can be re-
garded as a Jurist, in the higher acceptation of the
term : as familiar with the principles of pleading
adopted in other countries than our own, or those of
the aim and civil law, which have exercised so de-
cided an influence on all existirg systems. Mr.
Willis is an able man, but it may be doubted whether
any one member of the commission but himself has
ever looked into any but an English law book. Mr.
Cockburn would have been, in all respects, a much
more efficient commissioner than Mr. Martin : and
the omission of Mr. L G. Phillimore's name, consider-
ing the extent and ripeness of his studies, as evinced
in his recent publication, and his devotion to the
cause of law reform, appears unaccountable.

To--ciiiiiiiiPleate de Berme, ei the square in
front of thientridlos to tbal Area* Is called, was quit'
r4llity,l neither was there there the same show of mi-
litary prep ion es on the presiding days. Never-
theless, the greatest arictaess is observed with regard
to the of strangers Into the apart, and even
the messespis in habitual attendsoms outside the
Chamber have to provide themselves with cards of
free passes to end fro.
The diplomatic tribune of the Chamber was quite
empty. It reams that the wears of the Assembly
had complained of the presence of persons
netted with diplomacy is that box. The diplomatic
corps resented this invasion of their right to dispose
of the seats in the manner most agreeable to them-
selves by vacating the box entirely. The complaint of
the quistore was more particularly levelled at the
crowded attendance of ladies in this region of the As-
sembly, and was the more astounded as many of
those ladies are supposed to be anything but foreign
to diplomatic precritiage.
In the beginning of the sitting of the Assembly
Victor Hugo mounted the tribune to defend himself
agaiost the attacks of Jules de Lsateyrie cod Monta-
lembert. The latter had taunted him with frequent'
tergiversations. Those who were disposed to ransackl
hie life for errors had this advantage against him,—
that they might appeal to works which he had
written when a child. Bat he defied them to convict
him of self-contradiction sines 1827. M. Montalem-
bert had said that he bad been a flatterer of all causes
acd a renegsle from all. What! had he proved false
to Charles X. after oelebriting in verse his coronation
and his funeral ? To tit, Duchess of Berry, of whom
he had condemned the seller and stigmatised the
buyer? (Cheers on the Left.) To Napoleon, for
whose family he had demanded relief from proscrip-
tion; or the Duchess of °rictus, whose regency he
had proclaimed in the Place de la /futile, because be
had sworn to it as a peer of France? No; when he
took an oath he kept it. (Cheer on the Left.) M.
Moutalembert had reproached him with his absence.
When he was overwhelmed with fatigue, and when
the struggle wee to be only between him and M.
Montalembert, he would leave him to thunder at hint
absent, and repose in peace. M. de Montalembert
proceeded to answer, sad after a rejoinder. from the
poet, this personal skirmish dropped.
The Assembly then decided, by a majority of 462
to 227, that it should proceed to the discussion of the
Electoral Bill.

The President announced that 37 amendments had
been placed in his bands.
M..Lsma:tine opposed the first and second article
of the bill, and entered into a historical development
of the question. The impatience of change for
something that was imagined better, was the origin of
most national calamities, lie had himself proposed
improyements in the law, bat improvements when
the legal moment came for charge.
M. de Lamartine, having defei.ded the removal of
the arms• from Paris under the provisional govern.
ment, Gen. Cionrganci reminded the home tnat on the
23'h of February the order had been given to the
62nd to surrender their arms.

Genersl Mesa then erp'aineJ, amid the cheers of
the majority, that to had in fact signed this order, and
that he accepted the responsibility of having done so
bteause France was threatened with anarchy, the
prisons were going to be emptied, popular agitation
stormed, the army was on the point of divaolution, and
seas of blood would have been shed if this prudent
measure had not been taken.

M. de Lamartine then passed in review the two
last years, and concluded that Frans had been saved
by universal suffrage. He maintained energetically
that socialism, in the bad, envious, detestable sense,
had not made one convert in that Assembly ; and he
reproached the majority with wishing to establish a
wliciarite between the bad socialists and the opposition
members who wished for an enlightened progress.
In this sense he was against touching universal sof-
frage. But he recommended patience to the people.
The people had committed errors and ought to
aooept the law ea the momentary expiation of
them. There remained to the people the justice
of their canoe and time, and these two elements would
Ibe crowned with victory. That was better than the
fatal right of insurrection and the refusal of taxes,
which would be a domestic insurrection. When he
descended the tribune, he received the congratulations
of his friends and the Left. M. Baroche succeeded,
and was speaking when our report left.
I am informed from a good source that an interview
took place on Tuesday between Lord Normanby and
the President, which lasted between two and three
hours.

At the conference which I mentioned as having
taken place between Lord Norraanby and M. de La-
bitte, the English Ambassador read a long despatch
from Lord Palmerston, tracing the history of the
negotiations on the Greek affair, and attributing the
present emburssaing result to the precipitation of
M. Gm in breaking off negotiations.
According to the Pattie, this despatch term:nates
with the offer of a clmpronree, which that journal
states has not bees accepted by the French govern-
ment. Bat, if a statement in the Ednement of yes-
terday evening be correct, the Poen'e could not have
received any authentic information as to the view
taken by General de La Hitte of the despatch of Lord
Palmerston. The Evessement says that the despatch,
" which is of a nature to simplify the question," was
read yesterday afternoon at a council of ministers. It
is not probable that General de La Hitte would express
en opinion in such a way that it could get into a
journal before be had consulted his colleagues on the
subject.
The voluminous mass of documents on the Greek
affair was distributed yesterday to the members of
the Assembly. It forms a quarto of 240 pager, divided
into three parts. The Brat, which comprises the were-
, spondenee of the Minister of Foreign Affairs with M.
Drouya de l'Huyr, cone stn of 64 pieces; the second,
of 23 pieces, contains the correspondence of the mi-
nister with M. Gros at Athens; the third part em-
braces the correspondence of the Minister of Foreign
Affairs with M. 'fhouveael.
The discovery of two clandestine powder factories
near Montpellier has set the authorities on the alert,
and extraordinary military precautions have been
adapted against a surprise.
We read in the Evenernent : "It has been stated
that M. Proadhon had obtained permission to return
to Pal is on condition of hie ceasing to attack the go-
vernment. The truth is, that M. Proudhon will be
brought from Doulleas to Paris on the 29th instant,
to appear as a witness in a prosecution against the
Voss du Peuple.
The responsible editor of the Vois dts People, M.
Laugrand, was yesterday condemned by default by
the Court of Amiss. to a year's imprisonment, and
3,009 fr. floe, for having on the 14th March published
an article asserting that a celebrated Jew banker, of
great influent)e in the councils of the government, and
very intimate with the President of the Republic, had
lost three or four minims by speculations on the
Bourse in connection with the election of the 10th of
March, and that the President bad shared in such
losses. Tnis article was held by the Court to contain
the Wilms described in the law as exciting tobatred
and contempt of the government of the republic, and
insulting the President. The Democrats@ Pueilique
copied the art:eleon the 16th March, and for so doing
its responsible editor, M. Galileo, was condemned to
