will cottfine ourselves to observe that no dispatch is to
be found among them betw,:en the date of the 3d of
April and the 6th of November. It, was pr cisely in
that interval that the GorMan journals reveal, , wish so
singular a unanimity, the deiberation of the Three
Powers in respect ot the annexation of Cracow. This
complete abs,:nce of insp:itches du: ing the months of
July, August. Seleember, and Ocioner, confirms us in
our °plump, that either M. Guizot connived at the men.
sure, or that he was guilty of the strangest improvidence.
We will, moreover, ask, why the reply of Prince Met-
ternich to the protest of M. Guizot, which was commu-
nicated to the latter on Monday last, does not figure
among the documents?"

The schism between M. TRIERS and the Bir.nauLT
and DUFAURE section of the Opposition is now
avowed.

The Courrier Francais says—
" A numerous meeting of the Opposition Deputies
took place on Tuesday evening at the residence of M.
Billault; the schism which had been talked of so much
for some days previously was the subject of a long and
serious conversation, and we may say that, fr,:rn this
moment, it is a fuit accompli. MM. Billault and Dufaure
laid before their colleagues all the points of their political
programme. All the questions, either of home or foreign
policy, have been clearly and explicitly treated on by the
two orators, and they have both manifested their formal
intention to have done with the petty Parliamentary
strategy, the war of intrigue in which the constitutional
Opposition has weakened itself; and lost its consequence
in the suite of M. Thiers. The explanations of MM.
Billault and Dufaure obtained the complete approval of
the meeting. The two Hon. Deputies had not to form
the conviction of the conscientious and sincere men be-
fore whom they expressed their intentions and their
principles ; that conviction had been long before ac-
quired, but they decided on manifesting it openly, and
it may now be side that the new Opposition, which has
nothing in common with M. Thiers, is fully constituted.
The meeting, which had its first sitting on Tuesday,
will henceforth regularly assemble at the residence of
M. Billault; the second conterenoe has been fixed to take
place immediately after the discussion on the Address
in the Chamber of Peers."

The Standing Committees of the Chamber met on
Thursday, to elect the Members to draw up an
address in answer to the KING'S Speech. Eight Com-
missioners had been chosen—viz., Messrs.d'Hausson-
vile, Muret de Bord, de Bussieres, Sannac, de Came,
Vitet, Peyramont, and Desmousseaux de Givre—who
had all expressed their approbation of the conduct of
the Ministers in the affair of the Spanish marriage,
and also in respect to Cracow. The leaders of the
different political sections of the Chamber all took
part in the discussions, with the exception of M.
THIERS and his friends. The Chamber of Peers has
appointed Count MOLE as president and M. BARTHE
as reporter of the Commission of the Chamber of
Peers appointed to draw up the address in answer to
the speech.

" The new dispatch from Lord PALNIERSTON," says
the Presse, which the Marquis of NORMANDY read on
Tuesday to M. GUIZOT, is not more concise than his
two former dispatches of '22d September and 31st
October last, nor is it more peremptory. It is said
to repeat the same arguments, the same facts, the
same complaints, under a different form. Faithful to
his system of publicity without restricti M. GUIZOT
will assuredly distribute copies of this new document
to the members of the Chambers, with the answer of
Prince METTERNICH to the dispatch of De-
cember 3. This answer, while maintaining
the divergence of opinion existing between
the three Northern Courts and the Court of
France as to the interpretation of the treatik s, so far
as they relate to the independence of Cracow, ex-
presses a hope that this difference in interpretation
will not cause any change in anterior relations. It
concludes with a protestation in favour of the respect
due to treaties."

The Commerce says " The Council of the Bank
of France has determined on raising its rate of dis-
count to 5 per cent. Some members of the Court
consider that this me asure would not be sufficient to
bring back specie into the coffers of the Bank, and
proposed to limit the length of date of bills admissi-
ble for discount to sixty days ; this latter measure
has, however, been reserved for more difficult -con-
junctures. Since the month of December the cash
in the Bank has still further decreased; it is now, it
is said, no more than fifty-seven millions."
The ex-President of the Republic of Bolivia,
General SANTA Cauz, has arrived in Paris.
The price of corn still continues to rise through-
out France, and although the bread riots at Rennes
have been suppressed, yet it required the presence of
a large military force to re-establish tranquillity, and
the riot was nut suppressed without bloodshed.
