in several of the French Journals. The Presse discovers
in the homage paid to France by all parties in -;,,ngland,
the best proof, if proof were wanted, that France
has lost none of her-influence—nothing of her ascend-
ancy—and that the importance of her alliance is as much
felt now as it ever was. The Pcesse is correct upon this
point. England never under-rated the influence of France,
nor does she now. The only parties who discovered
that France was reduced to the proportions of a second-
rate Power were M. THIERS and his colleagues, and the
then French Ministerial journals. They—not England—
represented France as weak and dishonoured. The
birds that fouled the nest were reared in it. The
article of the Courrier Francais is worth pot-
_ because it embraces a point with refe-
rence to the personal influence of the KING, which is
more or less dwelt upon in most of the other Journals. It
might perhaps be as wise on the part of English Mem-
bers of Parliament not to distinguish so carefully be-
tween the inclinations of the :ping of the French and the
::fishes of his subjects. Our Gallic Contemporary's hint
with regard to this is worth being attended to.

" In the Detate of the 17th, in the House of Commons,
Sir Robert Peel and Lord John Russell gave utterance to
words which do them both infinite honour. These two state:-
men protested with a generous in&gnation against the foul
attempt on the life of the Duct cl'Aumale. Friends or
enemies to France, every political man must cherish the same
feeling. We must, however, rt mark on the manner in
which Sir Robert Peel worded his admiration of the King
of the Fretich. We do not like to ste foreigners professing
the opinion that the preservation of peace is due to the per-
sonal influence of King Louis Philippe, as in that case France
is supposed to wash for war at any hazard, and her King to
preserve peace at any price. Such a contradictory tendencd
of the Sovereign and the people cannot be allowed to exist in
matters of any import.
" Between two nations equal in power and in rights.
peace is the result of mutual moderation in the Govern-
ments, and not of the icfiueuce of individuals. If England,
instead of deceiving France, as she lately did, cultivates
our friendship and respects our interests, war is impos-
sible. But, let it. be remembered, if the line of cenduet
first marked out by the Treaty of the loth July be continued
in, no Government will prevent all France from rushing to
arms. To praise cur Government, whilst the rights of the
people are, at the same time outraged, is riot making
it up wii h us ; it is only rendering us mistrustful of our rult--r,.."
