BOURSE.—PAR.is, SATURDAY, Nov. 7.

HALF• PAVI' TIIREE.—The market has been very brisk
and much business done. The election yesterday of M.
Sauzet as President of the Chamber of Deputies, and of
the Vice-Presidents, has given confidence to the specula-
tors. There has not been any prior instance, since 1330,
of all such elections being completed in one day, owing to
a want of unity; before the present instance they have
usually lasted four or five days, and sometimes more. For
the Account the Three per Cents. opened at 78f. 70c.,
advanced to 791. 5c., having previously declined to 781.
50e., and close at 781. 90e., a rise of If. 30c The Five
per Cents., from 1101. 80c., declined to 110 f 40e., ad-
vanced to I 1 lf. 5c., and close at 1101. 75e., a rise of 1
percent. For Money the Three per Cents. are If. 40e.,
and the Five per Cents. if. 50e. higher. The Bank of
France Shares arc 95f. better, Lailitte 5,000 f. Shares
15f., and the Belgian Bank 25f. Belgian Five per
Cents. have advanced and the Three per Cents. 85c.
For the Account the later are 69f., 69c. 60c., and 69f. 50e.

22i. The Passive ¢ better. Neapolitan Bonds 45c.

way Shares 171. 50c. Versailles Rig.ht Bank 25f., ditto

LOUIS PHILIPPE has the will to preserve peace
between the two countries, but some persons
doubt whether he will have the power. On his
present success, therefore, hangs the stability of
his own throne and the peace of Europe. In both
these England has a great, not to say an intense
I nterest. He cannot at present be put aside with-
out placing at the head of the French Government
.those who have had a kind of personal quarrel with
English statesmen, and who would be carried into
power on the shoulders of those who still cherish
and avow the ancient hatred between Frenchmen
and Englishmen. The accession of the war fac-
tion in. France to power would be a great misfor-
tune for-the civilized world, buCto England it would
be most injurious. At the present moment, there-
fore, it is her policy to strengthen the government
of LOUIS PHILIPPE, and enable him to preserve
his power and preserve peace.
His Government is founded on popular prin-
ciples, and he relies on his people for sup-
port. On the great question at issue, therefore,
-their opinions and their prejudices must be taken
into consideration, and it is most unwise on the part
of England to do anything not absolutely necessary
to her own existence, or her own success, which
shall exasperate the national prejudices of the
,French, and increase the power of the war faction
over :them. It should be the business rather of
England, and of the English press,,to soothe the ir-
ritation of the war party, and enable Louis PHI-
LIPPE to detach from it the least warlike, and rally
as great a number of his subjects as possible round
his throne. "It must now be the business of both
Governments," said the Times on Saturday, "to
obliterate as much as possible these unhappy traces
of the past, or to recollect them only as lessons of
future wisdom." It should also be the business
of the press to co-operate in the same good
work, and we only echo the opinion of more
than one Liberal Contemporary when we
say that the language of the Morning Chronicle
on this subject is by no means calculated to attain
so desirable an end. If it could be supposed that
the language of that journal flowed from an official
source, and was sanctioned by the Ministry, it
would, we believe, be a great obstacle to the suc-
cess of Louis PHILIPPE, and a great injury oa
the English Ministry, whose most staunch sup-
porters are to be found amongst those who are the
most anxious to preserve peace between the two
countries.

The meeting at Leeds, of which we publish a
full report, though coming late to assure the con-
tinuance of peace, which is, we earnestly hope,
assured without it, will not be without a great use
in soothing the angry spirit of the French popula-
tion, and so smoothing some of the difficulties of
LOUIS PHILIPPE. The meeting, on the motion of
a Dr. SMILES, adopted an address to the people of
Fratice, which, tending fully to satisfy them that the
English will never countenance any Government
in making an attack on the liberty or honour of
Fiance, will have, we believe, a most beneficial
effect. A great deal of the language of Sir Wm.
iVIOLESWORTH tends to the same end. We will
quote a passage as an example, which at the same
time notices a common, but, we think with him,

an erroneous opinion :
According to some persons the expression of a wish
on the part of the people cf England for peace, would
encourage the French to make greater demands
than they do at present. This I utterly disbe-
lieve. I ask you, if, on a similar occasion, the
French were to hold out to you the hand of peace
and friendship, would you take a mean and ungene-
rous advantage of their friendly feelings ?—(Cries of
No, no.) You answer you would not. Nor will the
French, for they are as high-minded and generous a
people as we are.—(Hear, hear.) The best mode of
dealing with the French, is by showing that the people
of England have a strong feeling of regard for the
people of France. The French complain, and not un-
justly, of our apparent indifference to them. They
say, that for the last ten years France and England
have been closely allied ; that to their last revolution
we arc indebted for the Reform Bill ; that without
that revolution some of our most important cities,
Leeds amongst the number—(Hear, hear)—would
neither have had representatives in the House of Com-
mons, nor local self-government ; that we owe them a
debt of gratitude, which our Ministers have ill repaid
by suddenly quitting their alliance, and uniting England
with Russia and the rest of the Holy Alliance in oppo-
sition to France. Ibis conduct has angered and morti-
fied them ; and when they found the people of England
were silent, and seemingly careless of their alliance,
they became doubly indignant and angry. Hence the
fierce"outbreak of passion which has lately taken place
in France. The best means, I repeat, of calming these
feelings of irritation on the part of the French, is by
the people of England assembling and declaring their
desire for a strict alliance with that country.
Sir W. MoLESwoRTII in this passage quotes,
without rectifying it, the error which the press of
M. Tit rE Its has too successfully disseminated. The
English Ministers did not suddenly quit the alli-
ance of France; nor have they united with Russia
and the rest of the Holly Alliance in opposition to
France. The only object, whether it be good or
bad, is, not to oppose France, but to restore Syria
to the SULTAN. We should have been better
satisfied with the passage had the language been a
little more guarded, but we must still quote it with
approbation, as well calculated to serve the good
cause of preserving peace. In the following pas-
sage Sir \VM. MOLESIVORTII clearly shows that
lie is not an advocate for peace from any " cold,
faint-hearted doubtings ;" and he, no less severely
than justly, chastises those who for factious pur-
poses have depreciated the power of England :
Words cannot express my horror of a war with
France, or the importance which I attach to the pre-
servation of friendly relations with that country. In
saying this, do not misunderstand me ; do not suppose
that, as an Englishman, 1 have the slightest apprehen-
sion for the honour and success of my country, in any
struggle in which we may be compelled to embark.—
(Cheers.) Never was England better able to carry on
a war than at the present moment. Never were the
victory
more of the people greater. Never was
more certain. Some persons indeed have attempted to
deny our strength, and have represented our naval
forces, as weak and f ehle. Ti"'" rcPrPren: v,n!ho haven4inn'f
