LONDON, MONDAY, DEC. 28, 1863.

M. TRIERS has resumed his position as an orator
in the French Legislature with a success wettill, 01
his reputation. His reappearance in the tribune
las been one, so to express it,
rhetorically
triumphant. The amendment moved by him failed,
it is true—being at once rejected by the Corps
Legislatif. Bat the speech in which he
moved
it b.as won for itself, as a speech, words of praise
fr'jm all the various organs of public opinion in
Faris, with scarcely one exception. Nor can we
marvel at it, that such should have been the effect
produced by a harangue so really and even emi-
nently admirable,as a most lucid exposition of the ora-
tor's argument. Nothing could well surpass the elo•
Rance and perspicuity of the language employed by
the speaker in explanation of his views. Those
_laws are taken exception to, by one or another of
the ibati .
sian journa ists, according to the diversity
of theopinions entertained amongst them upon the
matters
of vital import referred to by M. TRIERS
in the coarse of his speech. But all, alike, com-
viewimend. the thann and grace of the speech simply

eh was, obviously, in
that light a rhetorical trint,ph, a
brilliant success,
that is, a a speech—
" a Party move, the amend-
ment it advocates was, beyond
all doubt of it, a
aignal and very notable failure.
Looking keenly
at the result arrived at by the rejection of the
amendment, the Constitutional exults (with
some

Opinions of that eminent journal), undisguisedl
