be found among fhem between the date of the :3d of
April and the 6th of November. It was pr,.eiscly in
that interval that the German journals revoak/I, with so
singular a unanimity, the deliberation of the Three
Powers in respect of the annexation of Cracow. This
complete absence of dispatches diving the- months of
July, August. Septem-

:1 October, confir

our opinion, that eithev M. Guizot connived at tho mea-
sure, or that he was guilty of the strangest improvidencc.
We will, moreover, ask, why the reply of Prince Met-
ternich to th:l protest of M. Gnizm, which was commu-
nicated to the latter on Monday last, does not figure
among the documents?"
The schism between M. THIERS and the BILLAULT
an'd DUFAURE section of the Opihnition is now
avowed.

The Courrier Francais says—

"A numerous meeting of the Opp isition 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 conver.iation, and we may say that, from this
moment, it is a fait accompli. MM. Billault and Dufaurc
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 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 toad rr,t to form
the conviction of the conscientious and sit:lei:re Inert 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 sail that the new Opp e i ion, which has
nothing in eornmstik.with• M. Thiers, is fully constituted.
The meeting, what had its first sitting on Tuesday.
will henceforth regularly assemble at the residence u!
M. Billault; the second conterenoc has been fixed to take
place immediately atter 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 Corn.
Iflissioners had been chosen—viz., Messrs. d'Hausson-
villa, Muret de Bord, de Bussieres, Sannac, de Carne,
Vitet, Pesramont, and Destnousseaux de Givre—who
had all expressed their approbation of the conduct of
the Mit.isters 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 PALMERSTON," says
the Presse," which the Marquis of NORMANBY read on
Tuesday to 11. 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 in, M. GUIZOT
will assuredly distribute copies of this new document
to the members of the Chambers, with the answer of
Prince METTErtmca 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 treaties, 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 respec
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 measure wculd 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 Ceiiz, 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 present e of
a large military force to re-establi-h tranquillity, and
the riot was not suppresed without bloodshed.
