The French journals resent with much warmth the
attacks made upon the state of moral and religious feel-
ing in France by the London Tory papers, in comment-
ing upon the recent attempt to assassinate the Royal
Princes. This is very natural ; but, as The Sun. abstained
from employing any expression calculated to Wound the
self-love of the French people, the quarrel, as it now
stands, does not concern us.
The reported death of the Duke of Bordeaux turns
out to be a money jobbing fabrication. It must distress
the Royalists to reflect that it had the effect of improv-
ing the prices of French Stock.
Is is stated that the French Finance Minister has
adjusted all the conditions of the new loan with M.
Rothschild. The loan is to be taken at the advanced
price of 80 per cent. Well done M. Humann I
The name of the miscreant who fired at the Royal
Princes is not Pappard, but Quenisset. The wretch had
stolen Pappard's papers and assumed his name just pre-
vious to the commission of the crime.
By a decree of the Regent, S.pain is divided into four-
teen Captaincies-General or Provinces, of which the
Basque Provinces censtittlW one, the, nalearic Isles a
second, and the Canary Islands a third;
The period of service in the Spanish regular army is
fixed at five years, andin the Militia at threct, 'There is
in future to be but one levy for both.
Portugal has abolished the 15 per cent. on import du-
ties remitted in favour of Portuguese shipping ; so that
as regards all countries in which Portuguese vessels are
received on terms of equality, their flags are now on an
equal footing with • the native shipping in Porttiguao
ports.

Countries not admitting the, etptality of Portuguese
vessels, as regards imports; to littve a corresponding ad-
ditional duty itild ttpdti tliei3i ifl the ivAters of Portugal.
tl tutetitiii to the regular tariff duties, carrying ves-
sels of produce for consumption in Portugal, and which
are neither Portuguese vessels nor vessels
of the country,
from which the goods are exported; are lieble to en ad-
ditional duty d (:) pet' dent. As English goods have
hithifild been imported into
.Portugal under the Portu-
guese flag, these regulations impose a chit) of 15 per
cent, on British produce.
M. de Redder, the Belgian engineer, has entered into
a partnership with Mr. Stephenson for the manufacture
of-lueomotitt6 IMW model.
Despatches were received on Friday by the Belgian
Government from the Commissioners of Commerce at
Paris. A_Council of Ministers was summoned to take
them into consideration.
An eAtetisive coverage, and a paper warehouse, in the
Rae cht lit Coiner, Brussels, were burned down on Friday
bvehing. Nine persons were seriously injured in at-
tempting to extinguish the flames, which were so hot as
to melt the lead on the roofs of the houses on the oppo-
site side of the Street. The loss is estimated at 150,000

Lord Brougham presented a petition from the British
and Foreign Anti-slavery Society, setting forth that
British subjects were still concerned in promotingseveral
branches of the slave trade, and praying for an extension
of thti of 1824. Avarice is on this point overcoming
legislative skill.
Lord Cottenham withdrew all his Bill for improvinz
the administration of justice till next Session. The Bill
which he passed through the Lords was on Friday put
off for six months in the Commons, because it trenched
on their privileges.
In the Commons, Mr. Ewart gave notice of' a motion
that a Government would not deserve confidence which
did not adopt the principles of the Import Duties
Committee.
Sir Robert Inglis announced that he gives up Church
Extension for this Session.
Sir Robert Peel is to ask for leave to bring in the New
Poor-law Bill this day.
Mr. Otway Cave, having protested against the course
of the Tories, and having referred to the registration
scheme for Ireland, Sir Robert Peel said that he did
not identify himself with Lord Stanley's Bill, and that he
wished to correct the errors of the registration without
narrowing the franchise.
Sir L'lmr.les Napier justly complained that no naval
man was now ,connected with the Board of Ordnance
and that the First Lord of the Admiralty did not know a
line-of-battle ship from a frigate. The conversation on
the subject elicited some difference of opinion, but no
facts of importance.
Sir Thomas Wilde announced his intention, of bring-
ing under the consideration of the House this day the
fact that Sir E. Sugden has sat in the House, contrary to
the rules of Parliament, after he had accepted the
office of Lord Chanceller... of :Ireland. Sir Edward
defended his conduct because he was not yet legally in
possession of his office. The rule, however, seems to be
that a man vacates his seat from the time of an-
nouncing his acceptance of an office, and Sir Edward
Sugden has strained the law too much.
Mr. Harcourt obtained from Lord Palmerston an as-
surance that there was no need to fear that the nation
would be stifled under an enormous load of Russian corn
were the Corn-laws repealed.
Dr. Bowring asked her Majesty's Government some
questions touching the increase of the tariff in Syria,
which, according to Sir R. Peel, remains undecided, while,
according to Lord Palmerston, the inhabitants of Leba-
non will be protected.
Mr. Crawford objected, on account of the public dis-
tr&s, to going into a Committee of Supply.
Sir Robert Peel said legislation could give no imme-
diate relief.

. Mr. Thornely made an excellent speech on the sub-
ject of Corn-laws and Import Duties, but into Committee
the House went after a division of 136 to 22.
The House remained in Committee of Supply for the
remainder of the evening, and got through the miscella-
neOns estiwates,

A hollow words were again uttered about the dis-
tress of the people, but nothing was done to mitigate it;
in fact the Legislature professes its inability to help the
people, but it is quite able to enrich rent and tithe-
owners,

ere now, in a position to legislate
upon all the subjects which we have enumerated. Re-
peatedly warned that the time for their resignation
was come, conscious that their opportunities of ac-
tion were passed, defeated, and having nothing but
:worse discomfiture in prospect, Lord John Russell
and his colleagues continued sticking to the State
vessel, and retarding its motions, as a fish called the
remora is said to do to ships of another kind."—
This is the sheerest sophistry. It is the inclination, or
rather the pow:?r, and not. the time, that Sir Robert Peel
has wanted, to bring fbrwp.rti 11; reinedial nwasures. lle
must hire foreseen, early in the Session, the probability
of his being soon called to office; and as an old and ex-
perienced statesman, must haVe been pretty well aware of
what was wanted by the country. It could 'haVe- been
