dr
in the English House of Lords on the E
Bill, but the article is more an analysis than a
o;nu
m e
entary. The Debats, however, observes that th-
discussion is a new end striking proof of the respect
entertained in England for individual liberty.' A
large portion of the first page of the Constitutionnel
is filled with an article on the proposition for new
taxes now before the Legislative Body, but it is
hardly possible to judge by what it says of its real
opinion. Details of the mode of levying the sump-
tuary taxes in England, and of the amount obtitned
from them, and a repetition of what has been stated
as to the mode proposed here, fill nine-tenths of the
article of the Constitutionnel. As to opinion, great
care is evidently taken by the writer not to commit
himself one way or the other.
The Assembles Nationale has the following on the
speech of the Duke of WELLINGTON on the Militia
Bill. This journal, whilst it pays a just tribute to
the candour, probity, end good sense of the Duke,
observes that 'his mode of delivery, of which, how-
ever, it could have no personal knowledge, indicated
the effects of age. This may be true, but it would
he difficult to find in the speech, as reported by the
English journals, any indication of such effects on
the mind. On the contrary, the speech is remarkable
as indicating a warmth of imagination which is not
often witnessed even in statesmen who are thirty
years the juniors of the Duke of WELLINGTON. The
Assemblie says—
The speech by which the Duke of Wellington sup-
ported the Ministerial measure merits attention. It was
seen that age weighs on the Duke; his elocution, never
easy or brilliant, has bFcome more painful and embar-
rassed. But his clearness of thought still exists. It
is curious to see with what cold reason, with what
country ha /nay be, and
abandonment of false national vanity, the old general
'''13("1") of the English armies which he commanded. To

There is an article in the Union on the affairs of
the East, in which the writer indulges rather freely
in aspersions upon England,\ for having, as he pre-
tends, intrigued to monopolize influence in that part
of the world. We bad begun to think that the Un.
friendly feeling so long manifested by the chief organ
of the Legitimist portion of France towards the
English had subsided, but it appears that we were in
Error. The language of the Union, however, is very
mild as compared with that of the Univers on the
affair of M. MATHER. The Univers is hardly decent.
It says :
" The presence at Florence of M. Bulwer induces a
hope of a solution favourable to the interests of the
Mather family. In the meantime Lord John Russell
and Lord Palmerston have turned the question to
account to attack the Ministry. The last sitting of
the House of Commons was entirely devoted to the
discussion of the reparation due to the honour of
England, which had been insulted in the person of
one of her subjects. This is a very tender
subject, and one on which the opposition reckons
largely, in order to influence the electors. We
hope that the Tuscan Government will not be inti-
midated by all this noise. Spain has given her a lesson
how to act with the intermeddling diplomatists of Eng-
land. If it will suffice, in order to acquire a fortune, to
go to Florence and insult an Austrian officer, the Grand
Duke will soon sec arrogant tourists arrive in his do..
minions in greater numbers than the emigrants for Cali-
fornia and Australia. If the Tuscan Treasury establish
the disastrous precedent of paying- too dearly for the
blows which the English may bring on themselves on
the part of Austrian officers, it will soon find itself un-
able to provide for all the demands made on it. It has
not been proved that M. Mather received six blows, and
yet 6,000 f. have been offered to him. However heavy
Austrian blows may be, more than one hare-brained
tourist of Great Britain would present himself to receive
blows at the same price. It will be high time for the
Governments of Italy to come to an understanding to-
gether. to put an end to these insolent aggressions of
England. The whole of Europe would applaud an ener-
getic determination, which would prove that not at
Florence, any more than at Madrid, would the Govern-
ment, tremble before the agents of the policy of the Rus-
sells-and the Pslmeestoner--Aesl,4o the- English Ministry,
it has no power to do anything but obey the impulse
given to it by its opponents. This is a sorry attitude for
it on the eve of the elections."

The Patrie of Thursday evening says :—" It is po-
sitively stated that the session of the Legislative
Body, which was to have closed on the 28th, is about
to be extended for a period of 15 days. The cause for
this measure is said to be the immediate presentation
of two bills relative to the concessions of the Paris
and Cherbourg, and Bordeaux and Cette Railways."
The Caen and Cherbourg Railway has been cow•
ceded to the Rouen Company.
Count D'Osser has, says the Union, been ap.
pointed " Superintendent of Fine Arts" at thei Elysee,
with a salary of 25,000 f. A Paris letter, in the in-
dependence of Brussels, states that the Panics Pan-
sIDENT has placed at the disposal of Count D'ORS&T
300,000 f. for the purchase of pictures, statues, and
other works of art.

We read in the Constilutionnel :—" The Patrie of
Wednesday evening announced that the Prince of
CAPUA had just left Paris for Malta, where he pos-
sesses large estates. This is an error, as the Prince
has been at London for the last six months, and has
no intention of quitting England. The Prince pos_
sesses at Malta merely a small villa, which he has
rented for some years."
The Bank of France is about to establish a branch
bank either at Rochefort or La ItoehellP, in the de-
partment of the Charente Inferieure. This will make
