THE PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE
REIGN OF GEORGE 111.
By GEORGE L. CRAIK and CHARLES MACF kRI, NNE,

Being No. 48 of the " Pictorial History of England."
The " Pictorial History of England" is now brought down
_o the accession of George 111. But to make the work as
complete as possible, a continuation of it has been commenced
under the title of ". The Pictorial History of the Reign of
George III.," in which the progress of Legislation, Institutions,
Arts, Literature, and the Condition of Society in all its depart-
ments, as well as the progress of events, will be pursued as far
as possible after the same plan. This will, in fact, be the History
of the American and French Revolutions, and of the long and
eventful war produced by the latter, in which, although it in-
volved all Europe, our own country, on the one side, bore the
principal part, as France did on the other, blended with the
history of a contest of parties and principles at home, also the
most fiercely waged, and the most ennobled by brilliant displays
alf any recorded in the annals of the Constitution, aid accom-
panied moreover by the history of an activity and advancement
in commerce, manufactures, and every other field of peaceful
industry and enterprise, making the social aspect of the subject
vie in interest with the military and the political.
This New Work, which will be abundantly illustrated with
Wood Engravings, will be published in Monthly Parts, and will
be completed, it is expected, in about Twenty Parts.

ILAND, who had -been spoken of as he ought not
to have been in the Chamber of Deputies, and
concluded by describing the present Ministers as
warm friends to Reform, but resolved to uphold
the Constitution, particularly the Church, but
ready to remedy all abuses.
Mr. MONCKTON MILNES spoke a few words in
favour of preserving our alliance with France.
Mr. IltimE .made a lOng, speech against the
conduct of Ministers in relation to France, and for
omitting many topics in the Speech. The Hon.
Member concluded by moving another Address,
as an amendment, which embodied his own ideas.
Sir ROBERT PEEL referred to the probable dis-
pute with France and - the chance of a war with
Europe as the one overwhelming topic. The
Right Hon. Baronet spoke strongly and feelingly
in favour of preferring peace, and in high terms
of the French nation. He insisted on the neces-
sity, considering the peculiar feelings of France
with reference to the Powers who had been unite I
against her in 1816, of our Statesmen even
going out of their way, if they were obliged to
separate their policy from that of France, to sa-
tisfy her that no insult was intended. We re-
joice much to hear these sentiments pronounced-
by Sir ROBERT PEELj. they will give, we
hope, pleasure in France, and soothe the ir-
ritation which arises from mistakes. Under
this strong impression, the Right Hon. Baronet,
who would not pronounce an opinion on our Sy-
rian policy till all the documents were before
him, though he admitted it might be right, ex-
pressed his great concern that there was reason
to believe, from one, part of the debates in the
Chamber of Deputies,- that our Government had
not treated M. Guizor, and had not treated the
Government he represented, with all the courtesy
they merited. Like the Duke of WELLi NGTON, the
Right Hon. Baronet referred to the Congress at
Verona, at which the other Powers resolved to
invade Spain, contrary to the opinion of England,
and England did not feel herself affronted. If
France had now been properly treated, she
would not have felt herself humbled or insulted.
The Right Hon. Baronet concluded an able
speech by bestowing a well-merited compliment
on Marshal SOULT.
Lord PALMERSTON, in a short speech, full of
matter, expressed his deep regret at the turn
affairs had taken with France, and at the inter-
ruption, for a short time only, of our friendly
relations. He looked to the French taking a
calmer view of the matter, and being con-
vinced that we were not actuated by any
unfriendly feeling towards France. He rejoiced
at the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet, who
had expressed such honourable feelings with re-
gard to France, and whose language was a proof
that the leading men on both sides concur
in an earnest desire to promote a good
understanding between the two countries.
The Noble Lord demonstrated very clearly
that no slight had been intended to France,
and none had been shown. The Allies could
not call on her to be a party to the co-
ercive' measures which she had rejected; and
as the only object of the French Government
was to gain time, by which the season for opera-
tions would have been lost, there was no alter-
tive but to act without her. The Noble Lord's
manly explanation elicited satisfaction from all
sides of the House. In conclusion, the Address
was agreed to without any division.
We cannot conclude, without expressing our
earnest hope, that the enlightened sentiments
expressed by men of all parties—the just honour
that was rendered to France—the desire ex-
pressed for her approbation and her prosperity,
will do much towards satisfying our neighbours
that there is no nation on earth England is more
desirous, if possible, of cultivating friendly re-
lations with than France.

" The work is quite worthy of the clever author of ' Say-
ings and Doings.' It is a most laughter-stirring creation, full,
if not of wise saws, yet of most humourous modern instances
of the strange varieties of human character, and the foibles,
follies, and extraordinary failings and peculiarities which flesh
is heir to."—Courier.

The Paris Journals of Monday have all reached
us. The debate on the Fortifications Bill was
commenced on Monday by M. DE LATOURNELLE,
who supported the plan of a continuous wall. M.
JANVIER followed on the other side. M. GUIZOT
next ascended the tribune, and defended the Bill
as calculated to give stability to the peace of Eu-
rope. The Minister contended that the forti-
fication of Paris was not a party question, and that
in so far as forts would repress popular vio-
lence they merited the Conservative support of
the nation. This is hinting pretty plainly the
real object of the fortifications. The Parisians
will learn the whole truth by and bye.
France continues her disgraceful system of war
in Africa. The following account of the latest
exploits in that quarter is from the Journals of
Monday :
On the 31st the French troops marched from Cherchell
to make a razzia, that is, to surprise, plunder, burn, and
destroy a poor Arab village. Tho success of the expedi-
tion was not brilliant, for only twenty Arabs wore killed,
as many wounded, and some oxen and mules captured."
The tribe of Beni Houssa was Burp. ised with more suc-
cess. It made no resistance, and many escaped ; but the
Deccan war sacked, burned, and its flocks of five hundred
sheep, thirty-five oxen, and ton calves taken."

The capture of ten calves forms an appropriate
climax to this record of French valour and hu-
manity. We are surprised that the French
Jour►►als are not ashamed of publishing such
despatches in the face of their clamours about
the inhumanity of England in China, India, and
Affiglianistan.
By the commercial treat'• between Holland
and France, all articles of Dutch colonial pro-
duce which hitherto were prohibited from enter-
ing France by land are now permitted to be
entered at Strasburg and Sierck on paying the
duties to which they would be liable on entering
in French vessels. The duty on Dutch cheese
and white lead is also reduced one-third. These
are important concessions made to Dutch trade,
but those conceded by Holland in favour of
France are far more considerable :-Ist. White
china-ware, of French manufacture, is only to
pay the same duty as common delft-ware. -2. d.
The duty on all kinds of French soap is reduced
one-fourth. 3d. The duty upon French stained
paper is reduced two-fifths. 4th. The duty upon
French cutlery, mercerv, lace, silk of kinds, is
reduced one-half. sth. Frenchwines and brandies
in cask are to be admitted free of all Custom
duties on their entry into the Dutch territory,
and when in bottle the duty on wine is to be re-
duced three-fifths, and one half on brandies. A
reduction of one-half is to be made on the duties
payable on French wines and brandies on being
exported to the Dutch colonies.
The journals La France, Le National, and Le
Commerce were seized on Monday at the post-
office for the publication of sonic letters stated
by La France to be addressed by the KING to
M. DE TALLEVRAND In 1831 and 183:2. We sub-
join the extracts from them, and the comments
thereon, published by the National. We need
scarcely observe
_that we believe every word of
them to be a gross forgery. As to the previous
letters, the first history of them appeared in The
Son :

The National publishes some fragments of letters, said
by La France to have been written by Louis Philippe, and
the originals of which arc said to be in the hands of M. de
Larochejaquelin. The National considers that as La
France has not been seized, these letters may be consi-
dered as historical documents, and proposes to publish
them under the title of " The Policy of Louis Philippe,
explained by himself." The first letter is said to contain
a promise to abandon Algiers, in the following words :
" As to the occupation of Algiers, I hare most powerful
reasons for faithfully fulfilling the engagements which my
family made with Great Britain. Under those circum-
stances I trust that his Majesty's Government will allow
me to choose my own time and measures."
The second letter treats of the last insurrection in Po-
land, and is headed by the National, " The French Ca-
binet claims the honsur of having murdered Poland."
In this letter the following passage is to be found
" Tbo Cabinet of St. Petersburgh ought to thank us,
and not the conqueror of Warsaw, for having crushed this
centre of incessant rebellion."
The third letter refers to the fortifications of Paris,
and is headed by the National, " The Detached Forts
and the Dynasty.—A plan for subduing the Press."—
This letter contains the following passage :—" Be assured
that I do not intend to abandon my plan of raising
forts round Paris ; nor that of subduing the
Press, our most dangerous enemy. The great part
of the public writers are purchased; the others
will follow their example. Let the Powers of Europe re-
member what consequences the revolution of July, 1830,
might have produced. Let them recollect that it was by
our sole and powerful will that we governed this frightful
popular ebullition, and let them judge from that of what
we are capable, and let not any of the Powers forget that
we alone could have saved France and Europe, and that we
have saved them. Lot neither Vienna, nor St. Peters-
burgh, nor Berlin, forget that."
" All commentary," concludes the National," would be
feeble after those revelations. Past events are explained
by them—future consequences are to conic. It is for
France, who has supported one, to ace whether she will
submit to the other."
We have the following letter from Toulon, dated 12th
January.
Nothing his yet been done precisely to disarm the
squadron, but the armaments are definitely impeded. A
commencement was made a month ago with dismissing
some workmen, and now all of them are discharged that
had been levied in the sth Maritime district. Tbu Go-

vzrnnient seems to have given up the intention of letting
the squadron go to sea ; this resolution wouli be fully ap-
proved in the Port, for in fact our ships would go and get
damaged off the Hierca island, and it would have been
difficult to repair them, for you must know, and this is
certain, that the most essential stores are now wanting in
the Port of Toulon, so that if a ship of the line were to
lose a main top mast or a rnain•yard, the loss coald tint be
supplied.

EAST S RREY'.—It will be probably recollected

that Mr. .Antrobus, the Try candidate, is the
gentleman of whom it was sometime ago said,
that he complained of the farmers because they
would not .nourish foxes and would kill them.
If the people like such men for their representa-
tives they must take the consequences, and be in
turn hunted to death by the Corn-law men as if
they were vermin. We hope, however, that in
East Surrey there must be a sufficiently strong
Anti-Corn-law interest to defeat the Tory, and
return a man pledged, from solemn conviction,
like Mr. Alcock, to the repeal of thehread4aX.
The Post-office letter bags to Hampstead and
Hounslow are now respectively carried by Ha-

letters and parcels for the public to and from
Hounslow and the Metropolis, and the whole
line of road, three times a-day.

MPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at one o'clock, when the Bishop of CHICHESTER
was introduced by the Bishops of LICHFIELD and ELY,
and took the oaths and his seat. Lord ARDEN also
took the oaths and his seat, upon his accession to the.
title. At half-past one their Lordships proceeded to
the Palace with the Address, at which time there were
present, in a variety of uniforms, the 111arquis of Head-
fort, the Earls of Fingal and Wilton, Lords Portman,
Camoys ; Lord Duck, the mover of the Address, Lord
Lurgan, the seconder, and the Archbishop of Canter-
bury.—The House was adjourned till to-morrow.

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took appeals and original causes
to-day. The appeal of the Attorney-General and the Cooper's
Company was ordered to stand over till the first cause day after
the erns. Several causes were postponed to a future day, in
consequence of the absence of Mr. Wigram, on account of the
death of his mother. In other cases the parties took such de-
cree as they could abide by, in consequence of the absence of
Counsel, and others were struck out, in consequence of the
solicitors not being prepared.
A HINT TO SOLICITORS.

Upon his Lordship being asked to allow one of the eases to
stand over, in consequence of the solicitors not being prepared,
he said that he should in future establish some rule by-which
solicitors could not deal with the Court in the imanner they
had done in the present Term to a very great extent.
It was useless for the Court to sit there to hear cases if the
solicitors did not think it their duty to the Court and their
clients to be prepared with the cause. It could not but be very
well known that half the douses that had been called on for
hearing during the present Term and the last, had not been
heard, because solicitors had not been ready, either for the
plaintiff or the defendant.
Mr. COOPER said that it was a serious inconvenience
to Counsel, that when they were engaged they got the papers
so late, that it was perfectly impossible to state properly their
case to the Court.

The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that it was impossible
that Counsel could do their duty to their clients unless they
were instructed in proper time. He had himself, when at the
Bar, experienced the inconvenience. He thought Counsel
had the most reason to complain of this next to the client, yet
there was no remedy for it as set, and the client must suffer.
That which he complained of, and which:his Lordship meant
to correct in futnre, was that parties who were not ready
should not be permitted to set down the cause again in the
usual manner, and which they did under the existing practice.
That was a facility which iuduood solicitors to be so
negligent of their duty. Ihere was another course of proceeding
which his Lordship would also alter. A defendant did not find
it convenient to attend when the cause was ready for hearing,
and by the present practice the plaintiff in the cause took such
decree as he could abide by tins afforded facility to the de-
fendant which aught not to exist, and his Lordship was deter-
mined that that also should he corrected in future.

His Lounstur rose at half-past twelve o'clock to attend the
House of Lords to proceed with the Address to the Queen,
having previously disposed of all the cases in his paper.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).
