M. Tniil has addressed the following charming
letter to the editor of the Phare de la Loire
Paris, May regard it as very natural that
others should think differently from me, and I am by no
means one of those Liberals who cannot endure liberty in
others; but I also think I may claim the:politeness due to
every man, and especially to one who has for 40 years been
a defender of liberty. I thank you for sending me your
articles; and, using the samo freedom which you so legi-
timately employ towards me, I confess to you that they
have not convinced me. As I have thought over these
matters longer than you, it is natural that my convictions
should be somewhat hard to change. A. TRIERS."
It is rumoured that in the event of Lord Clarence
Paget being successfully opposed at Sandwich, his lordship
