we it,

'ave received the whole of the Paris Papers
of 'cluildal• The conclusion of the debate on Sa-
Witl,/'s sitting of the French Chamber of Deputies
pft found in another part of The Sun. The
''Pl speakers were M. M. ()DILLON BARROT,
P: le4der of the Republican party, and M. Du-
Q-,llltE, one of SouLr's former colleagues in the
.41flet, BARROZ fell into the same slough

of wretched personalities as the Hon. Members
who preceded him in this miserable debate. Having
no ground to stand upon from which to aim a blow
at the policy of the SOULT-GUIZOT Cabinet, this
gentleman was not ashamed to cant about the be-
trayal of France to the "Foreigner," and to favour the
Chamber with his recollections of the Foreign Mi-
nister's conduct in 1815. It amounted to no less
than treason against his chief, in the opinion of
M. BARROT, for M. GuizoT to preserve the
peace of Europe at the expense of making
known to the world the dishonest schemes of
his predecessor in office. M. ODILLON BAR-
ROT is, no doubt, a man of nice honour in
the French acceptation, of that phrase, and may,
for aught we can tc,Yr to the contrary, be a very
sound French la,,,yer, but his definition of the duty
of M. Gurz.c.vr proves that he has yet to study the
science r,.1 morals. He, too, is for " war" and
"glory'," and all the humbug which placed tl•e
F.:ttach Revolutionists in the sad position which
they now occupy in the eyes of Europe.
However this debate may terminate, it will, as
was observed yesterday in The Sun, irreparably in-
jure the political character of all who as yet have
taken any part in it. As for M. Till ERS, his Mi-
nisterial career is ended. Never again during the
lifetime of the KING can he expect to be restored
to office ; and were he Foreign Minister there is
not now a Court in Europe that would enter into
any negotiations with him. Nor will M. GUIzOT
appear wholly scatheless after this conflict of petty
passions and personal hostilities. He, too, will be
constrained to make way for some Minister less ob-
noxious to the storm of individual obloquy which
now rages in France. A fresh modification of the
Cabinet is essential to the tepose of France and of
Europe.

The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the follow-
ing official announcement :

PARIS, Nov. U.—The King's Government has received
from that of the Queen of Great Britain, through the me.
dium of his Majesty's Charge d'Affaires in London, the
following notice:—

" The Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, her I'vlajesty's
Principal Secretary State for Foreign Affairs, has re-
ceived her Majesys commands to notify to the Ministers
of the friendly and neutral Powers who reside at her Court,
that the nr,ee'ssary measures have been taken by her Ma-
jestYs r,rders to effect the blockade of the river and of the
port •.,f Canton at all its mouths, and front the date hereof
al!. the measures authorized by the laws of nations will be
adopted and put into execution, with regard to all vessels
which may attempt to violate the said blockade.

" Department of Foreign Affairs, Nov. 19, 1840."

The Hcrald of this morning has discovered that the
Admiralty must have allowed the Navy to go to ruin,
because there is now bustle in our dock-yards. For
the first time these twenty-five years there has been a
probability of war with France, which is not wholly
passed away. It is possible that M. Thiers may have
a majority in the Chamber, or by some other means
be forced back into power. On this account it would be
highly imprudent not to be prepared for war. Hence
the bustle in the Dock-yards. To have had no such
bustle now would have implied that our navy was pre-
viously on the war footing ; and to infer from it that
the Admiralty has allowed the navy to go to ruin is to
condemn the Admiralty for not having maintained a
war establishment in the midst of profound peace. Such
a niaiscric is denominated political writing.
