tended, cotnbined to insure the suitor not to
seeli it." His Lordship concluded by observing
that he brought forward his Iteform Bill not as
a Cabinet measure, but wholly on his own re-
sponsibility. It was then, after a few words from
Lord LYzipttunst, read a first time and or-
dered to be printed.

The Stamford of last night put forth a state-
ment (upon authority ?) that the LORD CHAN-
oguion had written to the Archbishops and
Bishops to the effect that he had rerigned into
their hands all the patronage of the Church, ap-
pertaining to him in right of his office. That,
statement is not more untrue than absurd. And
yet upon this authoritative, or rather assump-
tive statement, two or . three of our Morning
contemporaries have pinned their faith—some
with proper indignation condemning the step on
the part of Lord BROUGHAM, as not only un-
wise but unjust, while others, with malicious
gratitude, , applauded his conscientious conduct
—conduct so proper and so much expected,
that the wonder was he did not relinquish the
patronage of his office the first night of his tak•
ing a seat in that
,House where he is now the
lustre of its pride !

But the " Statement" in itself was only a
feeler ; a oleic suggestion, "or a wish to throw
the apple of discord among the Bishops. The
Standardkpew full well that it was only grasp-
ing
.at sliadowg, .and that the Bishops, however,
raUdabla their exertions at appropriation, would
never grasp the substance.
To be serious, we state, ON AUTHORITY,
that, there is no' truth Whatever in the state.-
mem—for the LORD CHANCELLOR is the last
man in the world to do so unpopular an act as
to increase the power and patronage of the
Bishops—already overburthened with their un-
wearied labours and accumulated honours. No :
it maybe all very right and fitting that the
Bishops should be consulted as to the character
and qualifications of men who have lived and
officiated in their respective dioceses—but the
idea of giving them the sole patronage and
power to nominate to Livings is absurd.—
Lord BROUGHAM may have many sins to
answer for in his endeavours to repress the
odious system of Pluralities, but we are much
mistaken if, even the Bishops themselves can
add the one in question lo their list of grievances.

The speeches of M. LAFITTE anti Marshal
SOULT, in the French Chamber of Deputies,
will be read with satisfaction by all those who
are anxious for the continuance of tranquillity
in Europe. Both these Ministers assert, that
they entertain little or no apprehension of war,
that the recent addition to their army is simply
a precautionary measure ; and that they are
firmly resolved to insist on the principle of non-
intervention, as also to resist to the utmost all ag-
gressions upon it, no matter from what quarter it
may come, Fortunately for the cause of freedom
they are backed in these resolutions by the cor-
dial and enlightened concurrence of England.
The trial of POLIGNAC, and his associates,
we find, is fixed for the 15th of this month, when
regardless of mock sentiment on the one band,
and undue vengeance on the other, strict justice,
we hope, will 4e permitted to assert her claims.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T W.EL TB O' CLOCK.

Amidst the great din of war which has prevailed on
the Continent for these several days past, and which has
put the whole of Europe In a state of alarm, the public are
now somewhat relieved by the express from Paris this
morning, with the speeches of Lafitte And Marshal Sonlt
en the present eventful crisis. Lafitte says, " that the
warlike reports spread for several days past were on no
foundation, and he had every hope that peace would he
maintained ; and the Cabinets give the Government every
assurance that the armaments made by them was a measure
of precaution, but France wasdecided not to suffer the vio-
lation of the principle, of non-intervention, and France
would continue to negociate, supported by 500,000 soldiers,
and with a reserve of a million of the National Guard,
and, it circumstances required it, the king himself would
bola their! head. N. Lafitte still persisted in saying
that peace was more probable than war, when France and
England continued to wish for peace.
Marshal Souk's speech was of the same tenor.
. .

In what light these speeches will be viewed by our City
politicians and speculators is at present difficult to say,
as each will make them answer their own purposes; but
we are twin of opinion that the Powers who are arming
are already en their march to the frontiers of France or
Belgium. On !ranting the vast preparations on the part
of France, and the friendly disposition of England towards
that Power, and who are of the same sentiments to main-
tain peace, the hostile Powers of the North will soon
make a retrograde movement, and take up a new position
on their own frontiers, as they are not ignorant of the
united forces of England and France.

The followinf is the means of the French Milliliter of
Finance for pay►ng the expenses in case of war :
He states that the Budget is preparing, and will be
presented with important reductions in the expenses of the
country, and we shall have for extraordinary expenses HO
millions of francs, which have been taken off the Land
Taxes ; And you know that a revenue of eighty millions
forms a capital or loan of from fourteen to fifteen hundred
of mildona of francs. We have betides three milliards of
wood, which will produce, in our hands, that sum ; and
still more, in the hands of private individuals. Thus
Judi we have immense resources of money to pay the
troops.
(From the Mersaßer des Chambres of yesterday.)
It was reported yesterday evening in our circles, that
although the Congress of Brawls had taken the resolu-
tion to expel for ever the family of Nassau from the throne
of Belgium, that a son of the Prince of Orange was to
he named King of Belgium, under the Regency of Count
Msrode, nephew of General Lafayette. Bogier, the
Belgian Deputy, it is said, has left Paris this morning
without having obtained an audience of the King.
The Journal of the Two Mollies of the 22d of No-
vember states a change in the Ministry has taken place
there.
