"This intervention rests on no principle whatever.
As to England, the matter in hand was to assume the
dictatorship, and to exercise it by the intermediation of
her agent, M. de Palmella. As to France, it is different
- -with her, nothing can be seen but a desire to evince
her servility to England."
The Courrier Francais says :

"As to the part which M. Guir)t has played in this
affair, we hardly know whether it produces most con-
tempt or indignation. We can hardly understand how
M. Guizot had the courage to present all these docu-
ments. We cannot conceive how he can have exhibited
to light the shameful snare which Lord Palmerton had
laid for him. The English Minister has conducted the
negotiations in such a way as to throw on France all
the odium of the crime now consummated in Portugal."

The Commerce, in like manner, observes upon the
convention proffered to Portugal, that M.
GUIZOT has "yielded to the brutality of
English policy." The Journal des Debats is virtually
silent upon the matter; and the National mentions it
in a tone of rage, tempered by a sentiment of sorrow.
" Of the three foreign Powers," it remarks, " who had
signed the protocol France is the only one which
has refrained up to this moment from actively co-
operating in this violation of the national rights of
Portugal. Still she has morally been an accomplice
in the transaction, and her signature at the bottom of
the protocol, as well as the presence of the national
standard floating on board a brig-of-war in the middle
of the English squadron, and assisting as a shame-
ful witness in the events we have described, attest
the melancholy part which our Government reserved
for themselves in the deplorable act there (at Oporto)
accomplished."

We have given these extracts from the Parisian
press for the purpose of indicating the unanimity of our
French contemporaries in a feeling of ardent devotion
to the sanctity of constitutional privileges. We sym-
pathise to the uttermost in their reverence for that
great principle, but we are satisfied, after the accept-
ance of Mr. DUNCOMBE'S amendment, and the mas-
terly explanation of Mr. MACAVLAY, that they are
entirely mistaken in their notion of the culpability of
the British Government.

The Courrier Francais announces that arrange-
ments are being made for the settlement of a commer-
cial treaty between France and Greece.
