mother country towards her North Amf?rican depen-
dencies would be calculated to g ive rise to a grievous,
and possibly to a dangerous ill-feeling, inasmuch as
it would show the Canadians that England is disposed
to interfere with the great principle of responsible
government.
For these, and various other reasons as powerful
and incontrovertible, in a logical, political, adminis-
trative, moral, and legislative point of view, we are
more than rejoiced, we are relieved of a thousand
heavy anxieties by the result of the division last
evening in the British House of Commons. Not
that we doubted for one instant that the real states-
men of E-gland would hesitate as to the course to be
adopted; but that we dreaded lest, by some unhappy
fortuitous circumstance, the Commons might be
tricked into the appearance of subservience, even for
one minute, to the wishes of a handful of bankrupt
insu -gents.

If any one consideration were wanting to satisfy
the mind that the Cabinet and their supporters in
the Lower House have been actuated by other than
the wisest motives, it would be found in the remark
uttered last night by Sir ROBERT PEEL. that, accord.
ing to the declaration of Lord ELGIN, the assurance
of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and the legal opinion of the
ATTOENEYtrENERAL, the same test will be applied in
Lower Canada which had been used in Upper Canada.
This consideration is, of itself, a sufficient assurance
that the Bill is, per se, unexceptionable.
As to those subtle distinctions which it is pro-
posed by Mr. HERRIES and bis supporters should be
introduced as an emendation into the measure, they
may be talked about very fluently, and may appear
all very practicable and feasible in the shallow reason-
ings of a practitioner of the Arches' Court, but we
should marvellously like to see them reduced to
writing, either by the representative of Stamford, or
by the representative of Cardiff. And, what is still
more, we should like exceedingly to witness the
felicitous working of any measure so delicately and
even gingerly cobbled.
Amidst all the confused, and contradictory, and vo-
ciferous reasons advanced by, the sympathisers with Sir
ALLAN M'NAB and his "fellows," there is one which
strikes us as being altogether such a barefaced and
impudent absurdity, that we wonder amazingly that
it has not hitherto fallen under the lash of criticism
either from one of our contemporaries or from one
of the Members of the Legislature. It is this :
The persons who pronounce the Indemnity Bill to be
one wrongfully forced upon the Canadians, men who
are perpetually trying to ferret out something or
other with which to badger that most unfortunate of
all the Ministers, the Right Hon. the Colonial
Secretary—these admirers of Sir ALLAN M‘NAR and
followers of Mr. HERMES declare the Bill to have
emanated from the English Government, and at the
same time stigmatise it as a gross and flagrant in-
sult offered to the English SOVEREIGN. Now
the perfect extravagance of this is so plain and
glaring, that we are absolutely astounded how
any men at all pretending to the character
of politicians can have the hardihood to stand up in
the House of Commons and write themselves down so
very deliberately brothers-in-spirit of Signor DOG-
131.1tRY. The pertinacity with which they insist
upon it that the Indemnity Bill is a Govern-
ment measure, and at the same moment
assert that it is an intended insult to the
British Crown, is only comparable in its exqui-
site stupidity to the anxiety of D,GBERRY to be
written down an ass. " 0 that he were here to write
me down an ass ! Yet, though he be not here,
don't forget, neihbdurs, that I am an ass !"
Those who may be anxious to satisfy themselves
from first to last of the honourable and
perfectly constitutional conduct of Lord ELGIN,
of the Canadian Parliament, and of the English
Government, in this important matter, will find the
whole of the occurrences related in an admirably
sequential form in a pamphlet recently produced by
ALEXANDER MACKAY, Esq , of the Inner Temple ;* and
should the readers, after a perusal of that clever and
spirited brochure, be desirous of confirming them-
selves still further in their opinions upon the subject,
they will find all further difficulties to so doing re-
moved by another pamphlet (Mr. HART'S t) of
singular ability.

The recent regulation adopted by order of the
Commander-in-Chief for the examination of can-
didates for commissions in the army will come into
operation on the lit of July next. It is a wise and
judicious movement in the right direction, from which
we anticipate the happiest results. Hitherto there
has been a culpable negligence exhibited as to the
education of military officers, which contrasted
strongly with the care and attention devoted to the
same subject in the continental armies. In this
country no qualification whatsoever was required.
Boys were appointed to commissions without the
slightest inquiry being made as to their previous at-
tainments. They right have received a tolerably
sound education, or they might be lamentably defi-
cient in the ordinary branches of learning that
are considered indispensable for a person occupying a
respectable position in society ; no trial was adopted
to test their capabilities—all was left to chance or
accident. Hence it followed that, although we had
many highly accomplished officers in every regiment,
there were others who never could retrieve their early
deficiencies. It could scarcely be anticipated,that a
mere youth, just emancipated from the thraldom of a
Public school or of private tuition, would voluntarily
undertake the drudgery of acquiring the rudiments
of a lar.guage or science previously unknown. With
rare exceptions, these acquirements are only attainable
under the control and direction of a master who can
compel attendance upon his lectures. They will not
be attempted by a young man whose time
ij wholly at his own disposal, save so far
as it may be occupied in the ordinary
routine of military duty. The first difficul-
ties interpose almost insuperable obstacles, and should
an effort be made, it is speedily abandoned in disgust,
and those idle and lounging habits are adopted so in-
jurious to the officer himself, and so demoralising to
the soldiers, who will naturally follow the examples
afforded by those under whose command they are
placed, rather than the advice of some few of their
companions, who may desire to improve their minds,
and to render themselves properly qualified for pro-
motion.

Hence it is that the cigar and billiard-room are
so eagerly sought after by the one class—the pipe
and the canteen by the other, the only object with
both being to "kill the time " which they are unable
to spend in profitable and useful pursuits.
In France matters are managed very dif-
ferently. There are a number of military
schools throughout the entire country, in which
those desirous of attaining military rank receive a
sound practical education suited to the situations in
which they may subsequently be placed. No person

his fitness during service as a private soldier. Every
officer has consequently a competent knowledge of
his professional duties, and is fully qualified for
any
emergency in which he may be placed. All those
who have been educated for the service are masters of
two or three modern languages, and thus, according
to the dictum of FREDERICK the GREAT, each person
is equivalent to two or three who can only under-
stand their native tongue.
Henceforward, however, there will be a total al-
teration in the system. From and after the Ist of
July next no per-on will be recommended for a
commission in the British service until they have
been examined by competent persons, appointed by
the Commander-in-Chief, in the ordinary branches
of polite education, and unless they have shown a
competent knowledge of English literature, of arith-
metic, history, geography, fortification, and also of
Latin, French, and German. The latter are parti-
cularly valuable. Formerly but little attention was
paid to the acquisition of modern languages, but of
late years French and German have been regarded as
essential branches in the education of every gentleman.
A mutual intercourse between nations is becoming
every day more general ; our commercial relations
are becoming more extended, and in a short time
English gentlemen will blush to confess themselves
unable to address the French or German visitor in

his native tongue. During the recent visit of the
National Guards to London how many hung back
ashamed to exhibit the ignorance, which, for the
moment, was unaffectedly deplored ? How many
are there unable to avail themselves of a trip to the
continent from the same cause, and who cat not enjoy
what would otherwise be a delightful recreation, from
inability to make themselves understood by the inha-
bitants of the country in which they may be sojourn-
ing for the moment.
Now that a knowledge of French and German
will be required from every officer in the
army an additional inducement will be sup-
plied to others to learn these languages
practically and efficiently. Many are beginning
to avail themselves of the advantages afforded
by a continental education, where these languages
can be almost imperceptibly acquired without any
neglect of other branches of learning, and where the
true tone and accent can alone be attained. Many
well-qualified persons are now taking pupils in some
of the German towns, where peculiar facilities exist
for imparting sound instruction to the rising genera.
tion. A reference to our advertising columns will
show an unexceptionable instance. We doubt not
that such opportunities will be anxiously sought after,
and that those who have the means will gladly afford
their children the benefits of a short residence in " the
Fatherland."

NIE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The PRESIDENT and his advisers have followed up
their coup d'etat with a high hand. They have
adopted the simple plan of completely silencing their
opponents by seizing all the opposition journals,
with the exception of the National, and of arresting
the opposition Deputies en masse. It behoves us,
therefore, to be exceedingly cautious in crediting the
statements which appear in the Paris journals, as they
are necessarily one-sided. The following are extracts
from some of the Ministerial journals :
" An attempt was to have been made by the insur-
gents to seize the person of Louis Napoleon.
"The exact account of the treatment of M. Lacrosse,
the Minister of Public Works, by the mob, is
this :—He was seized, separated from the officers
who had accompanied him, and menaeed unless
he shouted Vice la constitution! and Vice la Re-
publique Romaine! The Minister held firm to the
last, kept his hat on his head, and refused to join in
the cry. He was torn from his horse, his clothes rent
to tatters, and in all probability he would have been
murdered but for he interference of M. Etienne
Arago.

" The conspirators, it would seem, had actually drawn
up a list of their Ministry. It is said that Sergeant
Boichot was to have been named Minister at War in
the new Government of the Convention.

" As to the rumoured escape of Ledru Rollin to
Belgium, another report is prevalent. It is said
that when' the soldiers entered the Conservatoire, and
the conspirators made a precipitate escape by jumping
through the winthm s, Ledru hat was found
on the table, with the forage-cap of Sergeant Rattier.
The former is supposed to have absconded in the
direction of Lyons; if so, he is probably the repre-
sentative referred to by M. Dufaure, when addressing
the Chamber."

The following is a rather striking account of the
reception given to Louis NAPOLEON and General
CHANGARNIER, by the people on Wednesday :
"It wanted a few minutes to 5 o'clock P. 31 yesterday
when the Presid. nt of the Republic mate his appear.
ance at the head of a crowd of generals, amongst
whom were General Changarnier and General
Castilon, on the Boulevards. He proceeded to
the Place de Bastille,. traversed the! Faubourg
St. Antoine, and returned to the Elysees by
the rue Rivoli. He was receivi d everywhere with marks
of the greatest enthusiasm. But it was General Chau-
gamier to whom, during his first visits, that the most
enthusiastic affection was exhibited. I never beheld
anything to surpass the burst of enthusiasm with
which he was hailed. Young and old, women and boys,
ran up to him and grasped his hand, and from the
windows along the Boulevards you saw handkerchiefs
and hats waving to welcome the man on whose skill,
energy. and most admirable moderation the safety of
Paris depended. As the dragoons galloped past the
Boulevard des Italiens, about six o'clock, I distinctly
heard many of them shout Vive Napoleon 1 Vice 'Em-
pereur ! as they stood up in their stirrups, and waved
eh, it swords over their heads."

The Red Republican journals which have been
stopped from further publication, were six in number,
viz., the Potpie, the Tribune des Peuples, the Re-
forme, the Democratie Pacifique, the Republique, and
the Vraie Republique.
The manner in which these journals were stopped
is most disgraceful to that party which has arro-
gated to itself, how justly let its conduct in this
instance testify, the title of the party of order
and of moderation. Same persons belonging to
the first legion of the National Guards of Paris
(this legion is composed exclusively of the aris-
tocratic portion of society, who reside in the Bel-
gravia of Paris), entered the establishment of M.
PROUX, who is one of the largest printers in Paris,
and wha prints among other things several journals
with the politics of which he of course has nothing to
do, and broke his presses, scattered his types, and
destroyed his property. in consequence of this wan-
ton conduct on the part of these refined frequenters
of the salons of the Elysee, M. Pa,,ux is ruined,
and sixty persons are thrown out of employment.
The same persons then proceeded to the printing
establishment of M. Boule, Rue Coq Heron, which
they completely gutted, destroying types, furniture,
fixtures, in fact everything but the bare walls. By
this act of destruction 200 workmen are thrown out
of employment. The Siecle, in relating these dis-
graceful transactions, recalls the attention of its
readers to the fact that during the two revolutionary
months of 18441, under the administration of the Pro.
visional GOveriiinent, when there were In Paris
neither regular troops nor an organized 'police, and
when the people armed were masters in the streets,
no such atrocious invasions of the rights of _property
occurred. This brutal impatience of contradiction,
this savage hatred of intellect, which goes to the
length of destroying even those material instruments
which are used for diffusing its inspirations, is, it
apps ars, the exclusive characteristic of the gets comme
it flout.
In the National Assembly on Thursday the autho-
risation demanded for the prosecution of MM
LEDRU ROLLIN, VICTOR CONSIDERANT, BOICEIOT,
and RATTIER was granted, and in applying for
it M. GRANDIN, the Attorney-General, was guilty
of an act which goes far to prove that the so-
called insurrection was mainly a "got up" affair—a
successful 29th of January. In moving for the au-
thorization, M. GRANDIN produced a placard, which
he stated had been posted in the neighbourhood of
the Conservatoire of the Arts et Metiers during the
time the Mountain was sitting there, and which was
signed by 120 members of the Mountain, against
whom he stated that he reserved to himself the right
of presenting a requisition at a future opportunity.
He then proceeded to read the names attached to tins
placard, and several members of the Mountain who were
present, and whose names appeared affixed to it, denied
all knowledge of its existence, and stated that not
only had they never affixed their names to it, but that
they had never authorised any person to make use of
their names in any such manner. Hereupon extreme
agitation arose in the Assembly, and some of the
more zealous supporters of the Ministry gave us a
pep of what was going on behind the scenes, by
exclaiming, " You signed the act of accusation against
the PRESIDENT—it is just as bad as the placard."
This is the key to the enigma. 'The Government has
determined to crush all those who wish to oppose its
Cossack predilections, and the President BONA-
PARTE has been too long the intimate of the Eng-
lish Tory aristocracy not to be well instructed in
the traditions of the SIDMOUTIi regime. There
can be but little doubt that this placard is an
infamous forgery—no one appears to have seen it
save M. GRANDIN, who, as was aptly observed by
M. VERSIGNY, seems to perfectly understand that

yet when M. ODILON BARROT was subsequently ap-
pealed to, he deniei that such was the case.
General CAVAIGNAC, in indignant terms,. declared
that it was most unjust in the Attorney-General to
read the names, unless he was prepared to move an
accusation. The Assembly then retired to its bu-
reaux to consider the proposition for leave to prose-
cute LEDRU ROLLIN and his companions. They re-
assembled at five o'clock.
The following is a report of what took place after
the presentation of the report, recommending that

The Assembly, being consulted', decided the ques-
tion affirmatively. The whole of the Right and Centre
stood up in favour of the authorisation ; three Mem-
bers of the Left only stood up on the other side—the lest
abstaining.
M. Mathey said that there was a short mode of put•
ting a stop to the protests of the Membf rs on that side
of the Assembly; end that was for M. 0. Barrot to pro-
duce the original, which, in his bur. au, he had said was
in his possession. (The lion. Member made a negative
gesture.) If the original was possessed by the Govern.
ment, by what right did any one call on them to give ex-
planations in the tribune?
M. Rolland said that Government ought to bring for-
ward acts, and not proceed on mere conjectures. If it
was an act of justice that was intended, documents and
facts ought to b.e produced; if it was a blow that was to
be struck, he was rPody to receive it.—(Agiql.tion.)
M. Arnaud (du Var) declared that his name had been
affixed to the placard so frequently alluded to without
his authorisation. lie was not in the habit of signing
such documents. _ _ _

The Minister of the Interior—l have just presented to
the Assembly a Bill of which I beg permission to read the
expose des motifs. The Hon. Minister he•re read the
expose which stated that the violence of the language
made use of in the clubs and other political meetings was
such that the Government was compelled to demand to
have the power of preventing it. It was only required
for one year, and would only be used to strengthen the
Republic and the Constitution. The Bill, continued the
Hon. Minister, is as follows:
" Art 1. The Government is authorised for one year,
from the date of the promulgatin of the present law, to
interdict any clubs or political meetings of a nature to
disturb public tranquillity.
" Art. 2. An account shall be rendered by the Go-
vernment at the end of the year of the manner in which
the law has been executed."
M. Cremieux said he feared the Government was
going too fast. He demanded that the report should be
printed and distributed, agre,ably to the regulations of
the Assembly, which were binding on all.—(Murmurs.)
The President here read Art. 62 of the regulations,
which states that the Assembly was authorised to order
the immediate reference to the bureaux, and to carry
out a motion of urgency.
Tne Assembly. on being consulted, decided on the
urgency of the measure.
The President—What day will the Assembly fix for
its examination in the bureaux?
Several Voices—To-morrow at noon. 6'
M. Buuzat, addressing his colleagues on the Left—Let
us not vote.

Almost all the Assembly rose in favour of its being
fixed for the next day.
The President—The examination in the bureaux will
accordingly take place to-morrow at noon.
Our readers doubtless recollect the fanfarronade
of General CtIANGARNIER'S report to the Assembly
on the subject of barricades, and his assertion that
several had been erected in various parts of Paris.
That assertion is now proved to be utterly without
foundation. He mentions three barricades opposite
the Cafe de Paris, near the Passage de l'Opera, and
at the entrance of the Faubourg Poissonniere. All
who know Paris know that at these parts of the
Boulevards there are always to be found persons
having chairs to let to those who may be desirous of
sitting down and resting themselves. These
chairs are, when not occupied, kept piled
up, and it was these three piles of rush-bottomed
chairs, which that " brave supporter of the cause
of order" has magnified into thre:• barricades. But ►he
poor man must do something to earn his marshal's
baton, the dispersion of an unarmed assembly would
not be sufficient to entitle him to seek a reward even
under the present regime, and therefore he valiantly
attacked three dozen rush bottomed chairs with three
regiments of soldiers, and boasts that he has carried
three barricade. We ate curious to see the returns of
killed and wounded in the late formidable insur-
rection !

Our readers doubtless relollect that it was
stated that the artillery of the National Guards
were prepared to join the insurgents, that Colonel
GIaNARD had convoked them for that purpose,
and that Colonel GUINARD had been placed
under arrest. Such was the veracious statements of
the Constitutionnel, to which journal Colonel GUINARD
has addressed the following letter :
"Monsieur le Rdactuer, —I read in your journal that
the legion of the artillery of the National Guard met on
Wednesday morning without being regularly convoked
in virtue of the initiative of its commanding officers. This
is an error. The colonel of the artillery legion re-
ceived, on the 13 h, at a quarter-past 9, from the cotn•
mander of the National Guard of the Seine, an order to
us,emble that Legion in the garden of the Pulais Na-
tional, its ordinary place of meeting. Directions were
at once given to have the order executed. I will not point
out many other inexactitudes contained in your journal;
I shall only say that the conduct of the artillery legion
was on Wt-dnesulay as in all others, when public older
was troub:c,l in our great city, perfectly honourable.
Respecting the laws of discipline, it acted only acc,,rding
to our instructions and our orders, for which I ain read)
to answer before the country. We live in difficult times,
when adversaries ought to show, at least, good faith to
each other."

Again the reactionariesloudly declared that AL BAS•
TIDE was atnongst the insurgents. In coast quence of
this malicious assertion M. BAstine has addressed the
following letter to the Assemblee Nationale:—
,
Monsieur,—You say in yesterday's paper :—' M.
Etienne Arago, arm in arm with M. Basfide, was at the
head of the column of rioters. They mado their escape
by the Rue Basse du Rempart.' These lines contain
some inexactitudes which it is important to rectify. I

simple reason, that there were no rioters. Citiz .ns,

rectification in your next number.

" 'RYLES BASTIDE."
The Siecle has the following very judicious obser-
vations on the late events ; and, considering that the
Siecle is the organ of M. Durauae, we yet hope that
the PRESIDENT may be induced to re enter the path.
of legality. The Steele says—
" Order and tranquillity are re-established in Paris.
Thanks to the moderate attitude of a part of the National
Guard and of the troops, the men who had conceived the
criminal idea of plunging us into the horrors of civil war
have seen what an infinitesimal minoi ity they form in the
couniry-; they failed yesterday, and to-morrow their
failure would be still more signal. Oar un ortuiqtte
country requires more than anything else to have its
still bleeding wounds dressed; it thirsts for order and
peace. But let us not endeavour to deceive ourselves us
to the idea which produced this energetic and instanta-
neous represion; let not the Government blind itself to
the innate feelings of those who were the first to lend
their cooperation to re-establish order, or rather to
prevent its being disturbed. In presence of a great
public danger, convictions may be silenced, but they
are not abandoned. The Government would be vet.)
blind, if it did not discover the abyss which. exists be-
..ween approving past conduct and lending aid and co-
operation to guarantee public peace. Besides, yester-
day, the new men who are in power, the men who
honestly wish for the Constitution and the Republic, had
a fine mission to fulfil. After having sufficiently proved
that society could not find more zealous defenders, it
remains to them to prove to the people that its interests,
its rights, and its legitimate wants do not inspire them
with less zeal or less devotedness."

The people of France are far, very far, from ap-
proving the past conduct of the Ministry, in regard
to the iniquitous expedition against Rome—an expe-
dition contrary to policy, contrary to humanity, con-
trary to justice—an expedition which is, in a political
point of view, worse than a crime, because it is a
mistake, and if the PRESIDENT wishes to regain the
good opinion of the people of France he should dis
miss from his councils the men who advised that
piratical expedition.
M. LONGEPIED, the Commissary Extraordinary of
M. LEDRU Itommr, whose name has been so often
before the public, was arrested yesterday.
It was rumoured that M. Ltnnu RoLLIN had been
arrested, but no great credit was attached to the report.

Madrid journals of the 10th have arrived.
The Gageta publishes the following decree of
amnesty :

" ROYAL DECREE.
