The Paris Papers of Sunday have arrived at our
Office. The lute esplosinits will probably prove,
el
they are suspected to be, nothing more then part
of a system to agitate the hinds, by exciting appre-
hensions for the wittily of the existing Govern-
ment. The KIN°, in. hie answer to one of the
Addresses on the Isle explosion at the Tuileries,
says, "The event was less serious thou it was st
fist considered."—The Five per Cent'. Consols are

The Ministers of the Crown undoubtedly (dm
tained is splendid victory in the House of Common%
yesterday morniog, when the Marquis of Tattle-
STOClts'a motion was rejected by 3e4 voles agsiwt
178. OW opinion respecting the tetras of the
motion we gave yesterday at length that we ap-
proved of it highly it is now unnecessary to repeat ;
but siricerely is we respect the Wens, of the Noble'
Marquis, we cannot but lament that in the camas
of his introductory speech he was induced. to mix
up with the corisideration of the conduct or his
brajialy's Ministers upon a particular subject, the
quealion of an immediate change in the Adniiiii-
stiation, accompanied with an impliesll insurance
dna such change must be effected upon. the prin-
ciple* of; an extensive alteration in the general sys-
tem of government. Here, therefore, instead of
placing one undivided and specific point before the
attention of the House, the judgment was eiscum-
bared by three subjects for consideration, incois-
sisient each with the others, and involving mat-
ters so conflicting in tendency and interest, dart
the far greater part of the House must have found
an insuperable difficulty in endeavouring to recuu-
cile then. The Member who might be disposed
to censure the proceeding* against the QUEIiN, if
submitted.to birifyiew in an isolated state, might be
very unwilling to.reinove the present Ministers from
the seat of government ;while those again who might
view the removal of the Ministers with considerable
satisfaction, might tremble at the idea of counte-
nancing it reform or change so extensive in the sys—
tem of public affairs as the Noble Marquis seemed
to contemplate. The debate therefore avowedly
respected the conduct of Nlinisters upon a particu-
lar point, but it impliedly had reference to their
printiples of general administration, and to Alien*
system of government, foreign and domestic. The
avowel.of sin ulterior object necessarily ineggssted
to the urinals of the Alriubers the effects, personal
and universal, of an immediate change in the Ca-
Isinel, to be accomplished ut the corn menctquent of
the year, in the very moment when the various

. partnients are most involved in thecon i
intricacies of the details of the public service for
tha year, and when the estimates are in the net of
being prepared, iii pursuarice of the principle of
reirseachniesst graciously expressed• by our Sovereign
himself. The votes of many Members must also-
hare been given with a tacit reference to the expe-
diency of u reform in Parliament, and from the
embarrassment crested by this oomplexity of mat-
ter there was no insinerliate refuge but in saying
' to the motion. Mauch materials then was
the majority of the Ministers yesterday morning
composed, and by such considerations alone can it
be accounts(' for that their majority i.n the Mai quis
of TArtsioclea motion was huger duns that which
they boasted when the House divided upon the mo-
tion of Lord A ROUIBA LD HAMILTON.

We do not, however, pretend to deny that the
Mittistira have ()Wowed u splendid triumph, Or
that their influence is not paramount in the House
of Commons ; equally far should we he from im-
puting to the majority of those who on this occasion
supported them, that they were influenctil by.otivar
