London, England, 1847-07-30 00:00:00

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.

In the Chamber of Peers, on Tuesday, the Marquis
DE Boissr asked the Minister of Justice whether it
was the intention of the Government to institute any
inquiry into the charges made by the Courrier Fran-
cuth rlitti respect to grants of mines in Algeria, made
to M. TALABOT. M. HEBERT, the Minister of Jus-
tice, replied that the inattrr was already before the
tribunals of justice, and that he was confident the
result would be to exonerate the Government from
any reproAch or suspicion.

The Débuts, in commenting upon this explanation,
says it cannot be complained that it is wanting either
in deci,ion or firmness, and asks what more in good
faith could be demanded ?

The National, however, takes another, and, in our
opinion, a more just view of the subject. It says—

" M de Boi.sy, yesterday, spoke of the matter in the
Chamber of Peers, and M. Hebert, faithful to the strange
system which he appears to have adopted in matters of
administrative scandal, hastened to declare that the Go-
vernment diil not judge it necessary to institute an in,
quiry. Wha!! one of the members of the Cabinet is
gravely compromised! Each day brings new queries re-
lative to facis incriminating in the highest degree the war
department, and )eu think you have a right to remain
inactive? We do not live in a time e hen it is permitted
to disdain attacks 0, this kind. What signify your de•
vials for the hubtic? Do yon believe that it forgets that
the persons whom the Court of Peers jus- visited
with chastisement, also repelled with nide, nation the
calumny of which the) pretended to be the victims. And
if the proceedings at one time turned aside from the true
path, had not, thanks to a happy chance, recovered the
trace of the truth, would not M. Taste, in his seat of Peer
awl judge, be entitled to procl,;iin in the face of the
couittry his inn, cenee, a moineht unacknowledged ?
And, besides, were it true that the President of the
Council had no need to be justified, it could still he ne•
ces,ary, in the interest of the administrate to take the
initiative in an in,estigation. May the accusation pass
above the head of the old Marshal; we desire it for his
military glory, which is ours also. But the matter does
not refer to him alone. Have we not heard the names of
several of your functionaries pronounced? N. de None,
chef de division of Public Works; M. Imbault, of the civil
list, M. de Vauchelle, formerly director of the bureaux in
Algeria; and is not :AI, ja.labot a deputy? M. no Jett
has rejected without examination the plain accuse,
tions of the Cow rier ; that was, in fact, an easier task
than to prove that that journal had published calumnies.
But how can faith be placed in the words of the Minis-
ter, e hen, in the very discussion which occupies our
attention, he is caught in the very act of tellihg a lie ?
Of what avail is a certificate of innocence from a man
who, keowinely misleading the Chamber of Peers, dares
affirm, that in the action brought by MM. Talabet
against the Courrier 1 runcais. the proceedings will re-
caive every possible deveiopment ? What ! MM.
Ta:abot prosecute a jourhal ter libel ! by the terms o
the law the proof is not admitted ; the proceedings can-
not even be published ; and M. Hebert, who knows all
this, speaks of 'the great development to be given to the
case.' A cause, in which the consideration of a Mi-
nister, the honour of a member of the elective Chamber,
the probity of five or six functionaries are concerned,
dies away, hushed up in the Correctional Tribunal, and
we are gravely told that it is from that that the light is
to issue? What is the use of these vain subterfuges ?
Why not avow plainly that it is not expedient, to sup-
port the Eclat of a public trial ? There would be in
such a course a certain boldness which, for our part,
would probably inspire us with less disgust than the
miserable expedients dictated by lying and hyporisy.
With reap-et to the Courri, r, as in the ease of the Preg,e,
the Minister of Justice might reply, at his risk and peril,
that in order to prosecute, it would be nece?ssary to be-
lieve.' rhe mute ry could have judged, as ithas already
done, the value of tnis declaration, but at least the Go
vet-taut-int would have been spared the shame of adding
culpable denial of justice to the shame of an evident
fall-hood."

The (Currier FFancuis itself thus briefly comments
on the discussion :

" We shall say but a word on the discussion which
took place yesterday in the Chamber of Peers between
the Marquis de Boissy and the Minister of Justice, on
the subject of the accu.ations laid by the Courrier Fran-
cais against the Talabut tlotnpany and the Aoministra-
two of War. M. He.a,rt.baviog given his assurance that
;he trial should be as compete as possibl, we declare,
with Viscount Dubouchage, That we are convinced that
the Tribunal of C,rrectional Police, before which proof,
are not trinaissible, uill send the Courrier Francais before
a jury."

The attempts of the police to get up an emeute, as
an excuse for letting loose the troops on the people
have hitherto happily proved abortive. We are re-
joked to find that the people attend to the excellent
advice given them by the National to remain tran-
quil, and not afford their enemies an opportunity fur
obtaining a victory over them. Our neighbours are
beginning to understand the art of working a peace-
ful agitation.

The Count DEJEAN, the new Director-General of
the Post-office, has been re-elected as Deputy for
Castelnaudary.
The Commeree states that 22 sacks of new wheat
have been sold at the market of Chartres at 38 francs
the hectolitre. This wheat was of superior quality,
and was regarded as a proof of the anticipated pro-
ductiveness of the approaching harvest.

CATTLE BONES.—A ship arrived in the docks from
New York has brought, in addition to an extensive cargo
of American productions, the amazingly large number
of 91,400 cattle bones. This is one of tne most extraor-
dinary imp..rtations, on account of its extent, the parti-
cular description of article, and the country of supply,
which hqs ever come under cur notice, and, for whatever
purpose they are importLd, this notice of toe matter will
be read with interest.

CITY, QUARTET? TO TtIPEE.

The Cotton 'Market, at Liverpool yesterday was firms
and the F ales increased to 5,000 bales, all being Axle.
rican. There were 2.000 bales on speculation. In
Hallway Shares the business done was on a very
braited scale, but prices were firm.

The each ti comes over higher again from Ham-
burgh, vz , 13.5 , %ith the price of gold at 431.

A material decline is again to be noted in the vale() of
grain in Mark-lane to-day, the arrivals continuing large,
and the indisposition to buy as great as ever.
There was an important matter under the consi-
deration of the Caudadian Legislature when the
advices per Caledonia were sent over, being no-
thing less than the question of free-trade. The
Colonial Government were prepared to do away with
all differential duties existing in favour of Briti4h pro-
ducts, with the exception of the copyright, and to
establish, in lieu thereof, a modified and unitorm tariff
for revenue purposes, besides lightening the burdens on
shipping. It is mentioned, also, as being the invention
of the Government to lighten, as much as possible, the
tolls on the St. Lawrence canals. The Goverment is
also prepared to give increased facilities to the fuliowing
points connected with the commerce of the coun-
try, vis., to extend the warehousing system in
every direction where the requirements of trade and the
existence of ports of entry and exports, with the requi-
site establishment, will permit; to facilitate the transfer
of property in warehouse; to simplify the syt,tem of the
transport of merchandise, ex-ship, or ex-warehouse, fur
exportation without payment of duty; to ligtteu the
mode of giving bonds for goods in warehouse, or under
guarantee for exportation. The enumeratioE of the
usual beads is as tollows:

To do away with differential duties in ftvour of
British products.

To reduce shipping charges 8,0001. a-year.
To reduce toils on the canals.
To extend the warehousing system.
To facilitate the transport and exportation of goods
without payment of duty.

To situplify the talc rig, of bonds for warehousing.

It is not the intention of the Government in any way
to depart from the present mode of raising a revenue for
the public service, viz., that of Customs ; on the con-
trary, rather to increase it, to enable it to bear the
shipping changes just spoken of, the difference of inte-
rest on the Quebec loan, and the heavy demands which
the immigration this year may be expected to make on
the provincial revenues. It is cJnfidently expected,
however, that the cost to the consumer will be reduced
by throwing open to him the cheapest market. We speak
now with reference more particularly to the British
products.

The Funds, after opening firmly, have given way
upon oue or two salcs made, but there is very little
doing. Consuls from 88i have fallen to 881 fur pr sent
transfer, and from 89i to 88i for Account. Exchequer-
bills have been Bs. to I Is. premium. New Three-and-
Quarter per Cents. are 901 to 91. Consols Scrip has
b' en at premium. Money is very scarce, and worth
s.x per cent. on Consuls.

The Foreign Bonds are dull. Spanish Five per Cents.,
21i; and Portuguese Old Builds, 81; Mexican Stock is
at 19; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 571
Kdilway Shares are much the same, with very little
doing.
