THE FRENCH ARMY.—The following is Sir Las-
celles Wraxall's account of that army which (as
Lord Brougham said) has been so loyal to so many
different sovereigns :—" There are in the French army, as
in the nation, political parties, Orleanists, legitimists, and
republicans. Bosquet was a Republican, and made his
entire division vote against the decennial presidency;
Pelissier was an Orleanist of the school of Marshal Bugeaud,
while Marshal Macmahon is suspected of Legitimist ten-
dencies. But when rhonneur et la glorie de rarmee Franccdse
are perilled, each becomes before all a Frenchman and a
a soldier. Bosquet turned the tide of victory at the Alma,
Pelissier stormed the Malakoff, Macmahon saved the
empire and the Emperor at Magenta. In the excitement
of war, politics disappear out of range, and the most equi-
vocal Caesar is blindly followed by the army so long as he
is not personally a coward. Jests, irony, biting satire,
epigrams, all are allowed, so long as the soldier does his
duty—that is, remains staunch to his flag. On the morning
of the Bth September, 1855, the bands played 'Partant pour
la Syrie ;' the regiments did not stir, while rose from the
ranks the melody, Allons, enfans de la patrie !' Louder
grew the song : the band was infected, and returned from
Syrie ' to 'la Patrie ;' the columns started, and the Mar-
seillaise and the band of death forced their way together
through the suffocating powder smoke ; it was the knell of
the Russian fortress."

WITHDRAWAL OF THE BUILDERS' DISCHARGE
NoTE.—Birmingham, Friday Evening.—.At a meet-
ing of the General Builders' Association, held here to-day,
the trade was represented from 25 different towns, and the
following resolution passed :—" That with a view to the
settlement of the present difference in the trade, the
master builders are willing to withdraw the notice they
have given respecting the discharge note, and at once,
through their association, to meet their men in order to
settle all labour questions by the adoption of trade rules,
and in case of any difference arising are willing to adopt a
system of arbitration."
