The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday
and Saturday have reached us. The following
significant article appears in Friday's number
of Galignani's Messenger
"The Austrian Ambassador had yesterday morning a con-
ference with M. Guiaot at the Foreign Office. Count
d'Appony, it is said, had been charged by his Government
to make serious remonstrances to M. Guizot on the subject
of the new levy of 80,000 men, the Bill for which was
presented a few days ago to the Chamber of Deputies. It ap-
pears that this increase of the military force has much sur-
prised the Court of Vienna, which in consequence of the
previous pacific protestations of the Cabinet of the 29th of
October, had rather expected a commencement of disarming
in France. It has been remarked that for some days past the
Ambassadors of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, meet often, and
alternately at each other's hotels."
On Friday a similar remonstrance was addressed
to M. GUIZOT by the Prussian Ambassador. The
following extract from a 'letter from Paris, ad-
dressed to a Dutch Journal, is to the same
effect

" Affairs are becoming more and more complicated at the
very moment when they appeared about to arrive at a defini-
tive conclusion. The great Powers require absolutely that
France shall disarm; bat the French Ministry declares that it
cannot adhere to this request, unless they agree to modify the
Treaty of tke 15th July, or to make a new one, in which
France may take a direct and active part. England and Russia
are opposed to this, and repel all the exigences of France. It
is believed that King Leopold, during his stay in England, will
make new efforts for bringing about a reconciliation between
the Cabinets of St. James's and and the Tuileries."
The following is the paragraph for which the
Editor of the .National is to be interrogated by
the Chamber of Peers : •

" We came to the Chamber of Peers with some hops ; we
left it as if we quitted a hospital of incurables. No life can ever
penetrate into that bonehouse. Energy is as much denied to
it as independence. This mockery of a Chamber, created by
the caprice of a monarch, moves in an atmosphere without
light or heat. There is an odour •f decrepitude in the hall
of the Chamber which chills and saddens you. It re-
sembles a constitutional comedy, played by the dead—a mecha-
nical pantomime, which one is anxious to see terminate, on ac-
count of the continual fear which haunts one, of seeing the
springs crack." _

IC was surely wiser to take no notice of this
language than to prosecute. The writer is mani-
festly no mean antagonist. Accordinvly, in that
journal of Saturday we find the following defence
of the charge against the Peerage :
" There is no crime, no offence in the spirit of what we
have written. There are the words, but these words the
Chamber has heard a hundred times without taking offence
at them. M. Tillers, we believe, was the first person who
applied to the Chamber the expression of ' Charnel-house.'
As to the words, Hospital of Incurables,' it was a Peer
who invented them, or something like them, when he said,
Our. Chamber is made a kind of Hotel Dieu, destined to
receive the wounded in electoral battles.' From Hotel Dieu
to incurables is but a step. As to decripitude, it was M.
d'Argout wko stated it, when he said, that adding up the age
of Peers, and striking an average, it amounted to mere than
sixty years. Assuredly a Chamber of sexagenarians is not the
flower of adolescence.

" We are now at our thirteenth process; seven provincial
journals have been seized ;a gerant and an editor have been

placed in preventive confinement; this is what the Ministry
has done in four months. We predicted it from the first day,
and we were prepared for this rage against the press. We will
resist without bravado, but without weakness ; and whatever
trial may be in store for us—before whatever jurisdiction we
may be dragged—we shall not be less firm or less bold."
TouLoN, Fva. S.—Satisfactory accounts have been re-
ceived ofthe three ships which were separated from Admiral
Hugon's squadron. The Neptune, the Jena, and the Triton
are at anchor in the port of Cagliari. The leak in the Triton
was such that it made 43 inches in an hour. The Neptune
having offered to assist and escort the Triton, if necessary, was
thanked by the Captain, who said he was able to proceed on his
voyage without assistance.
The Uraine frigate, which sailed from Toulon some time ago
for the Isle of Bourbon, encountered most violenales, which
obliged her to put into Sardinia very much damage; she will,
perhaps, be obliged to return to this port to repair.
Tho Turkish ships delivered up by Mehemet Ali to Admiral
Walker and Masloum Bey amount to 10 ships of the line, 10
frigates, and 4 corvettes, carrying in all 1,588 guns. The
Viceroy has 35 ships of war.

A file of the New Zealand to the 22d of August
inclusive has been received. The accounts which
this Journal publishes of the state of the colony
are very favourable. A second newspaper had
been started, called the New Zealand Advertiser,
so that the colonists have nothing to complain of
in the way of wanting news. Several meetings
were held at Port Nicholson preparatory to the
establishment of a colonial bank. The following
extracts include what little news there is of any
interest in these Journals :
Britannia, the name first given to the town of the New
Zealand Company's first and principal settlement by Colonel
Wakefield, has been approved by his Excellency Capt. Hobson.
