LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1847.

On Thursday, M. TulEns pronounced from the
tribune of the Chamber of Deputies his opinions
upon the character of the French Administration,
and upon the consequences of its criminal duplicity.
In length and bitterness, if neither in sublimity or
enthusiasm, this remarkable oration has only found a
parallel among the masterpieces of MIRABEA,. Nor
can we feel astonished that a bold and original orator
like M. THIERS should deliver sentences very far re-
moved from mediocrity upon an occasion so pecu-
liarly calculated to elicit all his intellectual energies.
What, let us ask, is the position, what are the
dangers, what are the difficulties into which his
native country has been drawn, by the unprincipled
audacity of his political antagonists? Why, those
men are found to have abused the authority reposed
in their hands by a generous and confiding people—
by their odious dereliction of their most sacred duties
they have surrounded France with enemies—by
their execrable abandonment of truth they
have placed that great empire in a perilous
and ominous isolation. "La France," exclaimed
M. TIIIERS at the very commencement of his har-
rangue, "La France, par l'ivenment deplorable de
Cracovie, est separee des puissances du continent ; par
les mariages Espagnols elk est separee de rAngle-
terre." Those are the external miseries entailed
upon that country through the proceedings of the
existing Cabinet. Internally the involvements of the
exchequer and the impoverishment visible in several
of the provinces can only be attributed to a similar
mal-administration. Such were the materials which
furnished M. THIEBS with those crushing missiles of
sarcasm, vituperation, scorn, and impassioned apos-
trophe which he hurled in such overwhelming abun-
dance upon the heads of his adversaries.
On Friday M. GUIZOT replied to the ac-
cusations of his opponent, but his lan-
guage was no longer that of an unimpeachable
politician, of a dignified statesman, of a candid
and credible debater. No epithet is superlative
enough to express the depth of his present debase-
ment. Only the elegiac tautology of DRYDEN will
suffice : he has

"Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen,
Fallen from his high estate."
The very efforts made by M. GUIZOT to conciliate
his fellow-countrymen only lead to his further crimi-
nation. Instead of excusing his hypocrisy on the
plea of an extraordinary emergency, or for the pur-
pose of ensuring to France an enormous and rightful
extension of territory, M. GUIZOT exults in that hy-
pocrisy for its own sake—for the tact it ex-
hibits—for the wiliness it evinces. He has done
a clever thing, and he loudly rejoices in its
cleverness. He cares not the splitting of a straw
for inasmuch that it is dishonourable. What is honesty,
what is probity,what is the value of the most immaculate
reputation when compared with the performance of a
diplomatic trick like that of the Montpensier mar-
riage ? The Balearic Islands would be splendid in-
sular pickings for the colonial Minister, no doubt of
it: the actual incorporation of the Spanish Peninsula
with France would have been a magnificent revival
of the Imperial system of annexation, it cannot be de-
nied : the acquisition of a snug harbour or so on the
Mediterranean would have been not altogether unac-
ceptable to the nation, we admit ;—but what are these
achievements, what is the most stupendous deed of

political spoliation or of territorial aggrandisement
in comparison with the exhibition of the talent of
Monsieur le Ministre des Affaires Etrangeres ? What
are the holiest rights of a friendly nation, what are
the most solemn engagements, the most implicit
assurances, the most distinct and reiterated avowals,
when weighed in the balance with that? Nothing.—
nothing. Clothe his remarks as he may, in all the
masquerade of Ministerial generalities, and in all the
glitter of conventional terms, that is literally the basis
of M. GUIZOT'S harangue. Anything more vile
cannot be adduced from the most shameful chapters
of the most odious histories of the most abandoned
Governments. N. GulzoT has diced awry one of the
fairest names and one of the most enviable
reputations that can be found in the records
of modern statesmanship. He has hazarded the
respect accumulated by years of honourable toil
in the most eminent of all professions upon
one casting of the die. He has plainly cheated in
so doing, and his dishonesty has been disclosed to the
world. With the true recklessness of a ruined
gambler, he throws to the winds all show of repug-
nance at the contemptible vice of which he has been
proved guilty, and has the impudence—the impudence
' 11 To OXST of his diplomatic eknavery ! Quosque
rtandem abutere patientia rostra ? The aspersions of
M. Guizoz upon the characters of Lord PALMERSTON
and the Marquis of NORMANBY form their' highest
encomiums.

Whenever the defenders of our country are called
into action, either by sea or land, and gain the
victory over the enemy as they generally do, even
un ~r most untoward circumstances, the English de-
light in both aiding and prompting the Crown to

evince the feelings of national gratitude by some
signal marks of favour, general and special. But
inasmuch as the end and object of all civilised Go-
vernments is to preserve peace, as far as they can,
consistently with the maintenance of their national
honour, it happily results that, with the spread of
civilisation, the occasions for testing the prowess of
our military and maritime forces become less fre-
quent. It is, however, a political slam that peace is
best preserved by nations being best prepared for
war; and, it must be reluctantly conceded that years
will roll on before the social aspect of the different

enlightened kingdoms, both in the old and the new
world, will be sufficiently improved to warrant
a safe reliance upon the - continuance of
peace, independent of warlike preparation. Seeing,
then, how much we are indebted for the blessings of
peace to the efficient discharge of many arduous
duties which necessarily devolve upon the sons of
Mars and Neptune, in periods of tranquillity, we
ought to be provident of their being liberally and
generously recompensed for the valuable, though it
may be unostentatious services, which they render to
their country. We have for years perpetually depre-
cated the unjust manner in which aristocratical in-
fluences and prejudices have been suffered to close up
the avenues of distinction against those filling the
humbler ranks in the navy and army, who happened
not to be possessed of the adventitious advantages de•
rivable from wealth or powerful connexions. The
force of public opinion has recently sufficed to miti-
gate, in some degree, the injustice of such a system.
The comforts both of the soldier and sailor are now
better consulted, and their moral as well as their
physical wants are not, now-a-days, so grossly neg-
lected as they were. In the army, in particular,
both English and Indian, the non-commissioned
officer who has proved himself worthy of the distinc-
tion, tam Marti quam Minerva, no longer hope-
lessly aspires after the envied epaulette. Much,
however, remains to be done, for gross par-
tiality, combined with a spirit of heartless indiffer-
ence to meritorious services, continues to characterise
the administration of our naval and military affairs.

Just complaints are being constantly wafted by
our naval officers from the shores of Africa against
the conduct of the Admiralty. Engaged in a service
of the utmost philanthropy, the suppression of the
slave-trade; subjected for a protracted period of three
or four years to the influence of a pestilential climate,
such that they are frequently decimated, and, as it
were with a scythe, mowed down by death ; kept for
months ata time in a blockading position, without the
privilege of going on shore, the survivors find,
upon their return home, not only that the trying
ordeal through which they have fortunately
passed is but slightly esteemed by the autho-
rities, but that other services, which ought not
to be considered superior to their own, are, if not
adequately, certainly very differently, rewarded. We
do not blame the Admiralty for giving double pay,
and ensuring promotion to those officers who embark
in expeditions to the Polar seas. This remunera-
tion may be, and, perhaps, is, quite right. But these
voyages, it should be recollected, are purely scientific,
and may, or may not be, productive of beneficial
results. The African service, on the other hand,
is fraught with the greatest endangerment to
human life, and is, moreover, prosecuted
in pursuance of a treaty between two of the most
chrilised nations of the earth, and for a cosmopolitan
object of the sublimest nature. We think, therefore,
that the officers engaging in the latter should, at the
least, be equally rewarded with those who devote
themselves to the former service. Again, some in-
creased facility should be given to officers serving off
the African coast for receiving their letters from
England, where all their feelings and dearest
associations are naturally most intimately
centred. Their correspondence is frequently
interrupted for months together. This is a grievance
that might be easily obviated, and ought to be
promptly remedied. Our national defenders should
be induced to love their country. Impartial justice
and liberal benevolence should be so interwoven with
our institutions as to second and fortify, in every way,
the inappreciable instincts of patriotism. By acting
in this spirit we should best secure an unquenchable
zeal in the breasts of our naval and military patriots
for the defence and maintenance of the interests and
honour of the British empire.

We hare received intelligence from Lisbon to the Ist
Februaly.
The fate of the Conde DE BONFIN, the Conde DE
VILLAREAL, and General CELESTINO is decided. These
officers, together with 39 of the chief officers taken at
Torres Vedras, are to be transported to the penal set-
tlement of Bisao, in the Bight of Biafra, the most sickly
part of the coast of Africa. They have been brought to
no trial, they have never been heard in their defence,
and although it is said in excuse that an attempt had
been made to bribe the officer, in command of the brig
on board which they were imprisoned, to connive at
their escape, no proof whatever has been given of such
an atteznpt, and by an act of despotic tyranny, which far
transcends the worst doings of even Don MIGUEL,
the QUEEN has condemned to this slow and lingering
death the men to whose bravery she is herself
indebted for her throne. The British Minister,
Mr. SOUTHERN, and the Belgian Minister, M. DEVRIER,
have in vain interceded for a commutation of their sen-
tence, and they are to sail the first fair wind. These
accounts were brought by the Iberia, which was off
Oporto on the 23, on which day intelligence reached the
city that the Miguelites in Tras-os-Montes had been
completely dispersed by VINHAES and LAPA at Sabo-
rosa, above Villa Poua d'Agmar, and that General
MACDONNELL had been killed. SALDANTIA'S head-
quarters were at Agueda, thirty miles from Coimbra.
Every possible preparation had been made at
Oporto to give him a warm reception. Po-
VOAS, the ci-decant Miguelite general, who has re-
cently tr►ken service under the Junta of Oporto, has
crossed 'the Tagus into Alemtejo, at the head of 1,500
men, and was advancing against Scnwar.nacit, who de-
clares, that unless he has a reinforcement of 600 men, he
must fall back upon Lisbon. GUEDES, AZENHA, and
SANTA MARTHA, all Miguelite chiefs, have joined the
Oporto Junta, and MACDONNELL, whose defeat and
death we have recorded above, was the only Miguelite
of importance
,who had not joined the Septembristas.
Viana, übandoned by the insurgents, has been taken
possession of by CASAL. An insurgent steamer has
captured a Government schooner conveying stores to
Figueras for the use of SALDANIIA'S army. Evora
still holds out ; the garrison is 3,000 strong, and has
eleven pieces of cannon, with plenty of provisions and
ammunition.

It is said that the QUEEN will issue a decree in a day
or two, taking off tho double decima from the interest
OR the foreign debt.

Madrid papers of the 30th and 31,,t ult. have arrived,

The GaCeia of the 30th contains the official announce-
ment of the appointment of the new Ministry. Several
high functionaries, including the political chief of
Madrid, have resigned their appointments.

The Cortes did not sit on the 30th, as there was a
grand Court reception on that day, in honour of the
birthday of the Duchess of MONTPENSIER.
The .Espanol says that Senor MON will be appointed
Ambassador to the Court of St. James's. Don ENRIQUE
is to have the command of a squadron now organizing at
Cadiz.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday. The comments of these papers on the debate
in the Chamber of Deputies on the Montpensier mar-
riage, more especially on the speeches of MM. GnizoT
and TRIERS, would, if collected together, form a pon-
derous volume. As we have given the speeches elsewhere
in extenso, we shall be sparing in our extracts from the
comments of the papers. The Journal des Debuts, of
course, finds that M. GuraoT's speech is a masterpiece
of eloquence and argument, and that his conduct has
been a model of good faith and honour. The Debuts
in, moreover, exceedingly angry with the English press,
because "it has not feared to throw its insults
and its calumnies even at the KING of the FRENCH,"
and appeals to the good sense of the people of England
to let " this speech of M. G uzzoT close this deplorable
discussion," which it might well do had M. GutzoT ab-
stained from personalities, seeing that he has rather
damaged than supported his cause by his most incon-
sequential speech, which is accurately described by the
Constitutionnel ss " a faithless mirage, a subtle piece of
special pleading, where gratuitous assertions mask the
total absence of proofs, and where the apparent con-
tinuity of reasoning is maintained only by altering or
suppressing a part of the facts." In the samo paper we
find the following account of the effect produced on the
supporters of the Ministry by this speech
"lie Minister of Foreign Affairs has declared that the j
situation is grave, so grave that he believed it his duty to I

warn the Chamber and the country to be on their guard.
If ever there was a case in which explanations should be
given it was this, but they were withheld. The danger even
appeared to vanish under the word of M. Guizot. He has,
in fact, a great remedy, a universal panacea, and that is
time. Time will bring back France to the arms of the Spa-
nish nation ; time will calm down the irritation of England;
and as to the three Powers, by persevering in the policy of
order and conservatism, it is certain that good relations are
to be reestablished. A fine remedy truly, and a firm
foundation fur proclaiming that the peace of the world is
assured ! And, in consequence, according as M. Guizot
went on speaking, agitation gained the Chamber, until then
calm and almost indifferent. In proclaiming the existence of
a danger, he flung the majority into a kind of stupor. The
partisans of the Cabinet appeared auddenly snatched from a
ling sleep ; they regarded with apprehension the Minister
on whose adroitness they depended with so much security
and so blind a carelessness: The Minister of peace at any
cost, the Minister on whose word they swore without think-
ing it necessary to hear an argument, to become thus all at
once a messenger of evil—was it not a dream, and the most
sad one possible /"

The Siecle says—
" When M. Guizot quitted the tribune every person in the
Chamber asked himself what was the true meaning of his
speech. Was it a solemn adieu to office? Was it a clever
adulation for certain anger which, it is said, is by no means
unrestrained ! Or was it an act of resignation to the supe-
rior will of Marshal Soult, who, for the future, not being
able to do better, would place the grande politique under the
protection of the Northern Courts ? One of the colleagues of
M. Guizot being interrogated, it is said, on this subject,
replied—' We have been desirous of putting an extinguisher
on Lord Palmerston.' This is very good if the speech of M.
Guizot and the anger of the President of the Council can
kill Lord Palmerston; but if he should survive? . . . •
And besides in striking Lord Palmerston you strike England.
This is an irreparable fault for persons who can have recourse
only to the equivocal and dangerous patronage of the spolia-
tors of Poland."
The Presse and the National both approve of the
conduct of M. GUIZOT in breaking the English
alliance ; but while the Presse is for an al-
liance with the despotic Powers of Europe,
the National is for a republic and a war of propagand-
ism. All the papers, except the Courier Frangais, treat
the views of M. BILLAULT (who suggested an alliance
with Prussia) as visionary. The speech of M. THIERS
is considered by the Republican and the Legitimatist
papers as a bid for office, which, however, he would not
accept save on constitutional conditions.
A letter from Toulon, of the 30th ult., says—
" The Hercule and the Jemappes, 100-gun ships, destined
to form part of a squadron which the Prince de Joinville is to
take the command of, are now about to receive their crews
on board. The Government appears decided to make a cer-
tain display of force, and the Panama steam-frigate has also
received orders to fit out."
The Journal du Havre has the following:—
" We learn from Paris that the Government has definitively,
refused to the Havre Railway Company the authority which
it had solicited to accomplish the further tests of the security
of the line by means of running goods trains over it. The
trials are to be carried on as at first decided on, before any
working of the line can take place, This measure, which
shows the conscientious solicitude felt by the Government
for the first time in the accomplishment of the duties of sur-
veillance imposed on it, Is not of a nature to cause much
delay in the opening of the line, the period for which, as
well for goods as for passengers, remains fixed for about
ApriL"
The corn riots still continue in the departments of the
west and centre.
On the sixth, the debate on the Address was con--
tinued. BERRYER addressed to the Chamber a most
eloquent speech, in which he traced all the present
difficulties to the abrogation of the Salic law in Spain
by the Treaty of Quadruple Alliance, and declared that
in the event of the death of the QUEEN of. Spain without
issue, France should be prepared to re-establish the male
branch of the reigning family of Spain. He concluded
by proposing the following amendment:—
" France desires peace, under the safeguard of her dignity
and her legitimate interests."
This, however, was subsequently withdrawn, and the
original paragraph adopted by a large majority.
The effect produced in Paris by the speech of M.
GUIZOT may be conceived from the fall of the Three per
Cents., in the passage de l'Opera on Friday night to 78f.
15e., and the further decline of that stock on Saturday
to 78f., being a fall of 55c. as compared with Friday's
prices
The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on
Saturday at 78f. ; the Five per Cents., 118 f. 20c. ; the
Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,227 f. 50c.; Rouen, 877 f. 50c.;

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.' in
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was quiet.
Sales, 3,C00 to 4,000 bales. There was no all eration in prices
or in the general tone of the market. Shares were firm.
The renewal of " wintry weather" has bad already an in-
fluence upon the corn market, and The Sun report, in ano-
ther column, will show an advance of about 2s. in wheat,
while barley, also, is 2s. to 3s. higher. We understand that
there has been rather a large parcel of grain taken to be for-
warded to Stockton-on-Tees.
Some new regulations hare been adopted by the Russian
Government with respect to the forwarding of goods to or
from Persia. European merchandise going to Persia or
coming to Europe through the Trans-Caucasian provinces
must be sent to Redut Kale, or Suchum Kale, and thence by
Tiflis to Norchitschewan. Goods for Persia must be brought
to Bahu, and thence to Tiflis and Redut Kale or Suchum
Kale.
The loss that is likely to be sustained by the Prussian
commercial interest in consequence of the annexation of
Cracow is very great, viz., 9,000,000 dollars per annum, of
which Breslau suffers to the extent of four millions, Berlin
three, and Stettin two millions of dollars.
Information has been received of the arrival at South-
ampton of the West India steamer, but the letters have not
yet come to hand, and are anxiously expected, as they may
bring interesting intelligence from Mexico.
The accounts kiln Lisbon excite, as may be supposed,
very great attention, and, in some quarters, necessarily sa-
tisfaction too. The Government of Donna Maria must
learn, however, to temper its successes with mercy, or even
its most zealous partisans in the City will become ashamed
to defend its policy. The tyranny of the Lisbon Court
seems undeniable, but revolutions have proved hitherto so
little advantageous to English interests, that we cannot feel
surprised at the gratification which many experience at the
defeat of the Miguelites, and the anticipated subjugation of
theOporto insurgents. The bondholders, at least will have
good reason to rejoice, if one piece of news communicated
by the present arrival should prove correct, viz., that the
double decima on the Foreign Dividends is to be abolished.
The Public Securities have to-day been decidedly flatter,
and there is the usual feature, viz., a fall in Consols with a
rise in wheat. The Bank of England, also, it is rather anti-
cipated, will continue to be a seller of Government Securities,
in order to strengthen its position. For Transfer
to-morrow Consols have been 90% %, and are
the same for the Account Day. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 92% % and the
Reduced Three per Cents. 90% to 91. Exchequer Bills
have realised ss. to Bs. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been quite neglected, and
there has not been a bargain officially reported in Spanish,
Mexican, or the other leading Stocks. Portuguese, however,
have been rather more buoyant at 34% to 35%. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been steady at 58 ; and the
Four per Cents. at 921% to 92%.
The market for Railway Shares has not varied, although
dull. Eastern Counties are 21% ; Caledonian, 261 ; Bir-
mingham and Oxford Junction, 13% to 14; Great Western,
124% to 1251 ; Brighton, 55% 34 • North- Western, 191 to

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN-EXCHANGE -- MONDAY
Coastwise, up to our market last week, the arrivals 0
English Wh eat, Barley, Malt, Oats, Beans, and Flour, were
seasonably ,extensive, but those of other articles of home
produce wer e small. The receipts from Scotland were on
the increase, but those from Ireland were miserably small.
For the th ne of year, the imports of Foreign Grain were mo-
derate, those of Flour, viz.. upwards of 14,000 barrels,
chiefly from the United States, were good. Fresh up, the
arrivals of I English Wheat from Essex, Kent, Cambridge-
shire, and„ i 1 tdeed, all other quarters, were very small, though
of fair averal ;e quality. Although the stands exhibited a fair
number of fa st week's unsold samples of both red and white, the
demand, owing in some measure to several orders having been
received Ci•oi la Stockton and others of cur northern ports,
and the Is ,rg e attendance of country buyers, was somewhat
brisk, at a a improvement in the quotations of Monday
last of fully 25., in some instances 3s. per quarter, and at
which a g( ,od clearance was effected prior to the conclu-
sion of b. ness. The show of land-carriage samples was
smaller th a: a for some weeks past. The quantity of foreign
Wheat or.' show was beneath an average, arising from
many of till, e large importers having withdrawn their sam-
ples for tNe present, in anticipation of higher rates. All
kinds mo ce 1 off steadily, at a rise in value of fully
one shillii ig per quarter, at which advance the
holders .we re by no means anxious sellers. Not-
withstam tin g the great increase in the supply of Eng-
lish Barley., that article—as most of the maltsters and dis-
tillers are u nusually short of stock—was in brisk request, at
an enhanc, st cent in the quotations of from 2s to 3s per quarter.
The quami ty of Malt offering was moderately good. Fine
parcels r9ut a held at Is to 2s per quarter more money. In
some ca: sea , this advance was paid; but, as it was by no
means g, 3ral, we do not alter our last week's prices.
We had a full average quantity of Beans on show.
All kinds .Nir ere consequently in slow request at late currencies.
The sale iq'r Peas, the supply of which was small, may be
considert Id steady at full prices. There was only a moderate
business di )ing in Flour, the currencies of which remained as
on Monde) • last, although higher rates were again demanded.
Indian (5.3 r a was held at very high rates. Most of the par-
cels bre, tgl it forward were disposed of; 70s were paid for a
floating ca rgo of United States white.

For the (rne of year the above is a large importation. At
the out, rts, about 300 head of Beasts and Sheep have been
landed woin France and Holland. The number of foreign
Beasts on sale was about 130, and of Sheep, 200 head, in,
comPa rutively speaking, moderate condition. The demand
for th( .rn was in a very inactive state, and previous curren-
cies w are with difficulty supported. With home-fed Beasts
we we re tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. The
qualit yof the Norfolk and Devon droves was good ; but there
was n 'thing particular to observe in that of those from most
other , porters. The weather being favourable to slaughter-
ing, a ed the attendance of buyers good. the Beef trade was
steady , at, in some instances, an advance in the currencies
obtain ed on Monday last, of 2d per ilbs; the highest figure
for the L est Scots being 4s Cd per Slb, and at which a fair
clearer. ce was effected. Notwithstanding the numbers of
sheep re re very small,
and a great falling off was observed
).
