have dissolved numerous corps of the National Guards,
and unpliant Municipal Councils, without mercy—
they have circumscribed the freedom of discussion
within the narrowest limits—they have preached with
success the doctrines of selfishness and of political in-
difference—they have extinguished, almost throughout
the whole of France, the public existence of the popu-
lation, as well as the convictions which give life to
that existence. And what constitutes the sanction
of this admirable system ? An army of three hun-
dred thousand men, disciplined to passive obedience !
It is fancied that the rational devotedness of the Na-
tional Guard may be dispensed with if the barracks are
only filled with soldiers : and, consequently, resort is
had to the military occupation of the great cities of
the country ; the discontented population is made sub-
ject to military law ; and sometimes it is found neces-
sary to fight against insurgents for the space of a
whole week together ; but if the spirit of insubordina-
tion works its way among the regiments of the army,
what, then, becomes of the ultimo ratio of the doc-
trinaire system ? Has not the Gazette some cause to
say, in its scriptural style, that the staff on which it
leaned has pricked its hand ? A circumstance equally
worthy of attention with the conduct of the authorities

terial newspaper of Strasburg, that the people ex-
hibited the most complete indifference. This same
newspaper informs us that a great number of in-
dividuals belonging to the lower classes assembled
at the exterior wall of the barrack of the Finckmart,
and raised the cry of Vive l'Empereur.' The soldiers
discharged their muskets in the air, in order to intimi-
date these shouters. As soon as the Prince was ar-
rested, all was over. The Courrier du Bas Rhin,
a liberal print, confines itself to the statement that not
a single bourgeois took the slightest part in the mili-
tary proceedings of the adherents of Prince Louis.
What strikes us as extremely remarkable in all these
accounts is, that no mention is made of the National
Guard and the municipal authorities, so that it might
be imagined we were living under a strictly absolute
regime. The only actors who appear in the affair are
a Prefect, a General, and some military insurgents,
which was the case in 1812, in the }Valet conspiracy."
France cannot but feel the full force of language so
powerful—of a political criticism so profound as this.
The Government cannot affect unconcern when the
truth is thus brought home to it—when it beholds
how completely it has failed in its darling projects,
and that both its designs and its dangers no longer
admit of concealment.

Prince Louis BONAPARTE and his accomplices

act with great discretion.

The ltioniteur of Thursday contains an order of

name, to the troops at Strasburg, thanking them for
the loyalty they evinced in the affair of the 30th.
They may be expected soon to receive a more tangible
proof of his MAJESTY'S high appreciation of their

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.
kWe understand that it is the present intention of
inisters to summon Parliament to meet for the de-
-I,ls)atch of business in the second week in January.
Retrenchment in several departments, and extensive
Iteforms, are in progress.
The F,

_much Journals of Thursday contain an ac-
etount of an attempted insurrection at Vendome, simul-
faneously with the movement at Strasburg, which was
the
repressed without, in any way, interrupting
re tranquillity of the town. The hero of this second
nturrectionary movement is named BRIJYANT, and
was a
e brigadier of the 4th squadron. His principal
ce'll)plice was a hussar named TIRE RY. According
fo °le Government organ these men, at the head of
4014rteen hussars, and a number of persons whose
share yet unknown, were to parade thestreets on the
't of the 30th, and at an appointed place were to
aand to horse, seize the military posts, arrest the
luthorities, and proclaim a Republic. The Lieute-
A:444t-Colonel of the Regiment had early information of
Plot, and instantly ordered the arrest of the princi-
C ewlspirators. BRUYANT was led to the guard-
-11°11s; where he contrived to draw a pistol with which
:ce the quarter-master dead on the spot. In the
e
nfusion he escaped from those who held him, swam
ir°BB the Loire, and was quickly out of sight ; but
en the course of the night he returned to the barracks,
tid voluntarily delivered himself up a prisoner. Du-
all this time the inhabitants of the town were
teovant of what was going forward ; nor was it before
th following day that they learned the existence of
: conspiracy, which had just been so suddenly and
effectually suppressed.
This is the Ministerial account of the affair, and at
Ace
Sent we are without any other. The conclusion
St ant to be drawn from it is, that the conspirators of
tattashovg knew nothing of the designs of the conspi-
faetrB of Vendome. This, in our opinion, is not the
Were the truth known and revealed, we have

We have no direct accounts from Bilboa this morn-

ing, so that we are left to depend upon the Correspon-
dents of Paris Journals, respecting the state of the
siege, which does not appear to have been raised, as
reported by the Moniteur. On the 26th, General
ESPARTERO entered Vittoria, whence he sent an
officer to apprise the garrison of Bilboa that he would
appear before the town on the 29th. At the same
time, Lord JOHN HAY signified to the garrison of
San Sebastian that his orders were to prevent, at all
hazards, the capture of Bilboa by the Carlists. Ne-
vertheless, the town appears to have been in great
danger, if we can place reliance upon the following ac-
count, which we copy from a Paris Contemporary :
If we maj judge by our letters from Bayonne of October
29, it was high time that Espartero should make a movement
for the relief of Bilboa :
" The siege of Bilboa is advancing beyond the hopes of the
Carlists. I had announced to you that on the 25th bombs
had been thrown into the town from the battery of Begona.
On the 26th Fort Mallona was attacked arid takes in the
course of the day, with all its artillery, which was immediately
turned against another fort in the convent of St. Augustin.
This fort was likewise taken at nightfall, with the loss of only
37 soldiers, and of a Portuguese General named Coello, who
was present as an amateur.
" On the 27th the town was summoned to surrender, and on
the refusal of the Governor the whole Carlist army desired to
attempt to storm the place, so that it was necessary
to draw lots between the 2d battalion of Guipuscoa, the Ist of
Castillo, and the Algerines. The lot fell on the last, to be
the first to storm. These Algerines are those who were dis-
peed at being so ill-treated in the service of Isabella, and
have gone into the service of the Pretender ; there are very
few Frenchmen among them. These Algerines, as they aro
called, but who arc Italians, Poles, Germans, &c., are about
600 before Bilboa, and 400 at Estella, who will soon form a
second battalion, for the desertion continues. If it had been
thought proper to employ Englishmen, whole regiments of
them might be had.
" The Carlist General Montenegro was slightly wounded in
the arm at the taking of Fort Mallona.
" The French Consul having asked permission to leave the
town by sea, accompanied by seven persons, the permission has
been refused him by Villareal, who has invited him to depart
alone, offering him an escort."
We have seen in the above letter from Bayonne how many
recruits Don Carlos has gained by the state of destitution in
which the Government of Isabella left the Algerine Legion.
A letter from St. Jean-Pied-de-Port, published by the ..47e-
morial des Pyrenees, says on this subject :—" The Foreign
Legion seems to be on the eve of its dissolution. About a
fortnight ago a Polish squadron of 150 men, which was sent
out to reconnoitre in the environs of Puente, went over to the
Carlists, after having disarmed the officer in command, who
returned alone on foot."
Two hundred French soldiers and subalterns withdrew,
with their discharge, in detachments of fifty men. The first
arrives here to-day, and the others will follow day by day.
Twelve French officers, who have also left the Legion, ar-
rived here to-day. If we may believe them, nova of their
comrades will remain with it.—Journal du Cummerce,Nor. 23.
The above confirms all that we stated yesterday res-
pecting the French Government's duplicity in the af-
fair of disbanding the Foreign Legion at Pau. The
officers and men went over to Don CARLOS " in de-
tachments of fifty." Such are the very words I Well
may the Queen of SPAIN charge LOUIS PHILIPPE
with an abandonment of the Quadruple Alliance.
The men enlisted at Pau were invited to enter the
French service by enrolling their names in regular re-
giments. They preferred desertion, and the service of
Don CARLOS. Why ? The French Government
can best answer that question. Even in desertion the
men were not free agents.

A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne announced
;o the French Government, that the Cortes had con-

A Morning Contemporary is exceedingly puzzled
to discover what his MAJESTY'S Ministers mean to do
in the ensuing Session of Parliament. He seems be-
wildered and lost in the uncertainty of his own con-
jectures, to a degree that it is almost painful to contem-
plate. We really pity the poor gentleman who is sub-
jected to this very unpleasant disturbance of his mental
equilibrium, and shall be happy, as far as it is in our
power, to assist him in restoring it.
Our Contemporary, in the outset, brings it as a
charge against Ministers, that " they hardly have
known to which party they belonged." Admitting
this to be true, it is only saying that the Government
of the country is conducted by men, who place the in-
terests of that country far above all party considera-
tions. Can there be higher praise than this ? Can
any statesman make a prouder appeal to a nation
than by saying, " I belong to no party ; I am ac-
tuated solely by a desire to promote the public welfare ;
that, and not the ignis fatuus of party, is the light
that guides my steps ?" Assuredly he cannot. But
how strongly does the Tory Journalist condemn
himself in thus attempting to condemn Ministers ?
How completely does he give the lie to his almost
daily assertion that the measures of the MELBOURNE
Administration are altogether of a party complexion,
and that in fact their whole conduct is characterised
by a sacrifice of their real opinions to party views and
objects ! Here is a fine specimen of Tory candour and
Tory consistency!
It appears to be a favourite notion with our Contem-

porary, that there is a fatal disunion between the dif-
ferent classes of Reformers, and upon this he builds a
_fine superstructure of hope for the Tories. Let
him not deceive himself and his readers on this
important point. We would remind him that this
delusion is not altogether a novelty in the
history of his party. If our memory do not deceive
us, Sir ROBERT PEEL confessed that his acceptance
of office, somewhere about two years ago, was bot-
tomed entirely on the belief that there was a fatal dis-
union among the Reformers ; and that but for his con-
viction that their differences were irreconcileable, he
would not have been justified in assuming the reins of
Government. Now we assure our Contemporary that
the differences which now exist between Reformers of va-
rious classes, or rather shades, are not nearly so great as
those which existed in 1834; and that Reformers will

forget all their disputes about greater or less, and
unite heart and hand, rather than tolerate the nuisance
of a Tory Government even for a month. The dis-
satisfaction which has been expressed by the more
sanguine among the Reformers with the policy of the
MELBOURNE Cabinet, arises from no distrust of their
sincerity in the great cause of Reform, but from their

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE BOLDEN, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in
this case, which came before the Court upon a petition,
praying the Court to quash the finding of the Jury, upon
an inquisition to inquire into the state of mind of a per-
son named Bolden, residing near Birmingham ; and also
praying for a new Commission to issue. The Jury
appointed to try the state of mind of Mr. Bolden,
after hearing a vast body of evidence, came to the conclu-
sion that Mr. Bolden was not of unsound mind, and the
object of the petition was to upset that finding. The Lord
Chancellor, in giving judgment, said that it was important,
independent of the case made before the Jury, to see what
the affidavits disclosed as to the state of tile party against
whom the application was made. He did not pay
much attention to the affidavits of servants, but those
of the medical men who had attended Mr. Bolden were
most material. Now, looking to the affidavits made
in support of the Commission, his Lordship did not find the
affidavit of any medical man speaking to the present in.
sanity of Mr. Bolden ; but, on the other side, there were
the affidavits of Mr. Jones, a surgeon, and those of Drs.
John and James Johnstone, physicians of the first eminence
in Birmingham, stating in distinct terms that Mr. Bolden
was in a sound state of mind, though he was subject,
after excessive drinking (to which he was unfortunately
addicted), to great excitement and occasional aberrations ;
and also stating, that if strong liquors were kept from
Mr. Bolden, they should have no hesitation in signing
a certificate to that effect. Under these circumstances,
his Lordship felt himself bound to dismiss the petition, but
he would do so without costs.

EDWARDS V. THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.
His LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case, which
was an appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice-
Chancellor, granting an injunction restraining the defendants,
the Grand Junction Railway Company, from erecting any
bridge or viaduct on their works near Warrington, of a less
width than the road. His Lordship thought the decision
of the Vice-Chancellor a very proper one, and refused the
motion to dissolve injunction with costs.

not proceeding fast enough, without perhaps making
sufficient allowance for the obstacles which have been
thrown in their way by that national incubus, the

House of Lords. But a calm consideration of what
Ministers have done—a dispassionate estimate of the
benefits which they have conferred on the nation by
the measures even of the last Session, much as they have
been decried—will, we are satisfied, show that Ministers

'lave done all that in their circumstances it was possible
"or men to do.

The Journalist to whom we have alluded thinks
that Ministers " must take a more decided course than

they have taken." If the country calls upon them,
and enables them to do so, they will ; and the result
may perhaps not be quite so gratifying to the Tory
faction as their organs imagine. It does not by any
means follow, as our Contemporary argues, that, if
they do this, they must go too far for their
own safety. They will go just as far as the public
voice summons them, and no farther. They have given
the Lords a fair trial before the country, and that
trial has proved beyond all doubt where the obstruc-
tion to Reform lies. It is not improbable that an-
other attempt may be made to bring them to reason
if this should fail, and the Peers should still persist in
their determination to refuse justice to Ireland, Ali-

nisters will appeal to the country, and we shall then
see the fallacy of all those silly boastings about re-
action, which have been so loudly put forth by the
Tories.
