the Family Bills of which the KING gave notice ; and
in conclusion, augur prosperity to France, from the
past deliverances of the country—from so much civil
courage near the Throne—and from the virtues of a
family that has become a dynasty by the national
choice. . .

In the whole document there is not a single spirit-
stirring sentence—a single expression indicative of either
inherent dignity or greatness in the French Chamber
of Representatives. There is not the shadow of a
thought, either vigorous or original, to be found in it.
Even piquancy is wanting in the paragraphs which
would have admitted of liveliness of expression. We
therefore pronounce it to be altogether a very sorry
affair ; though certainly commensurate in dignity and
importance with the inherent worth of the Cabinet
whence it emanated.

The address of the Chamber of Peers, with a long
debate upon it, which continued during the sittings of
Monday and Tuesday, will be found in another column.
The speeches are full of spirit and energy, and from
the bold stand made by the Opposition, it is plain that
Ministers will have enough to do to retain their posts.
The Duke of DREUX BREZE, a noted Royalist, and
an avowed enemy of the alliance with England, was the
first to attack the Cabinet. The reasoning of this No-
bleman is seldom remarkable for its conclusiveness, and
on this occasion, it was more than ordinarily at variance
with truth. M. MOLE, Minister for Foreign Affairs
and President of the Council, defended, to the best of
his ability, the conduct of his Government. He main-
tained that it differed in nothing essential from that
' which preceded it, and that it was based upon the prin-
ciples which dictated the British Alliance. The
Duke de BROGLIE, Marshal SOULT, and M.
CousiN, severally addressed the Chamber with consi-
derable effect. The speeches deserve to be read with
great attention.
Marshal CLAUSEL is performing quarantine at
Trieste ; his arrival in Paris is daily expected.
The following telegraphic intelligence was commu-
nicated to the French Government on Tuesday
" BAYONNE, JAN. s.—On the Ist inst. the contending
parties were in the same position, Espartero in Bilboa, and
the Carlists between Guadalcano and Miravalles ; Don
Carlos was still at Durango. Villareal had tendered his
resignation, which had been accepted. The Infant Don
Sebastian is appointed General-in-Chief of the Carlist
forces. Morena is to be the chief of his Staff, and Villa-
real his first Aide-de-camp. Eguia is appointed Minister
of War. The principle of the direct election had been
adopted at Madrid by a majority of 88 to 63."
We find no additional news of any importance in
the French Papers of Monday and Tuesday. The
reports of the trial at Strasburg are too ridiculous for
either insertion or notice. It appears that the whole plot
in which Prince Louis BONAPARTE was implicated
was well known to the Government from the com-
mencement, and that it rather fostered than discou-
raged it I "

Brussels and German Papers have been received
The former contain no intelligence of importance. In
the latter we find the following extract of a letter from
Turkey, to which we direct particular attention :

CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 14.—The relations between the
Porte and England, which lately appeared to assume a
friendly character, have been again disturbed by accidents.
It appears that Lord Ponsonby is at variance with Mr.
Urquhart respecting the satisfaction to be given to Mr.
Churchill, the one desiring that the Porte should be corn-
pletely humbled, the other that the respect due to a friendly
nation should not be lost sight of. Each of them wrote to
London, according to their own views ; and when every
body thought that the whole affair was forgotten, or at least
settled, instructions came to the English Legation, by which
it is directed to require from the Porte, that the newly-
appointed High Admiral, Muschi Ahmed Feuzi Pacha,
shall be not only dismissed from that post, but also
removed from his Paellalik of Ruda Verdeicier, because,
at the time of the ill treatment suffered by Mr. Churchill,
he behaved in a harsh and partial manner towards him.
Lord Ponsonby has, in consequence, addressed a note to
the Porte, in conformity with the commands of his Court.
He has not yet received any answer, and it is very doubt-
ful whether it will be such an one as the English Legation
seems to expect. What however appears to be beyond all
doubt is, that Lord Ponsonby's position here is untenable,
since it is invariably affirmed that he himself, in fact, called
for the instructions, which may cause him no small em-
barrassment ; for however placable the Porte may be, it
seems incompatible with its honour to be subject to
the caprice of a foreign Agent, and dismiss from the
service of the State a man like Ahmed Feuzi Pacha,
who possesses the entire confidence of the Sultan, and has
rendered the country so many services. At present there
is nothing to authorise the belief that Lord Ponsonby's
demands will be complied with ; what course he may think
fit to adopt cannot be foreseen. I will not pretend to say
whether it is designedly or accidentally, but Feuzi has just
been honoured by the Sultan. He gave his name to a
frigate which was lately launched, and is called the Feuzi ;
but be this as it may, this circumstance clearly shews the
favour that Feuzi enjoys, and how ill-advised it is to re-
quire his removal at a time when it is so much desired to
recover the lost influence at the Porte.
