How beautifully affecting were the lamentations
of the French Opposition Press over the miseries
inflicted by the Allies on the coast of Syria, and
yet with what callousness of heart do they chronicle
the heart-rending distresses of the victims of French
aggression in Africa. To reduce a brave people to
subjection by hunger, as a shopkeeper would starve
rats, has nothing in it appaling to a French phi-
lanthropist. And yet there is some difference be-
tween an onslaught, however terrible, of three
hours continuance, and a devastating, desolating,
relentless war of ten years' duration.

The following telegraphic despatch from Lyons
will afford unmixed pleasure to every friend of
humanity :

" Lyons, Nov. 22.
" THE PREFECT OF TILE RHONE TO THE MINISTER OF TILE

INTERIOR.

" The Rhone has nearly resumed its level.
" The Saone falls remarkably."
The proprosed address of the Chamber of De-
puties, in answer to the Speech from the Throne,
will be found subjoined. It is exceedingly pacific
in its tendency. But what we now look forward
to with interest is the debate upon it.

•
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Nov. 23.
The sitting commenced at two o'clock, and the public
tribunes were immediately filled to overflowing. There
was also a considerable number of Deputies present.
The Minister of the Interior demanded a supplementary
credit of 700,000 francs (2S 000/.) for foreign refugees,
of whom there arc at present 31,800 in France.
The President then read the following project of ad-
dress:—

" Sire—We thank your Majeaty for having convoked
the Chamber before the customary period of meeting. It
is more especially in eventful periods like the present that
it behoves a King to be surrounded by the representatives
of the country, in order to make known to them the situa-
tion of affiirs, and to &mild t4eir advice and assistance.

" The measures which have been taken by the Emperor
of Austria, the Queen of Great Britain, the Kin, of
Prussia, and the Emperor of Russia, in concert with' the
Ottoman Porte, to regulate the relation between the Sul-
ten and the Pach s, have excited the deepest interest in
France. France has narrowly watched all the phases of
this crisis. Prudence required that your Majesty should
provide against all contingencies by armaments and pre-
cautions. Ex•raordinary credits have been opened to meet
these contingencies, and we can appreciate your motives.
" In this state of things, Sire, you will have our fullest
support in favour of an honourable peace, or a just war if
necessary. Peace without dignity would never be accepted,
neither by France nor her King. An unjust war, a violent
aggression without cause or object, would not be in ac-
cordance with our ideas of progress or civilisation. Peace,
then, an honourable and certain peace, which will preserve
the equilibrium of Europe, is our sincere desire.
" But, if events should render this impossible, if the
honour and rights of France were menaced, if her territory
or interests were compromised, speak the word, Sire, and
at your voice all France will arise, and will cheerfully
make every sacrifice, and then the national concurrence is
assured to you.
" We have ardently desired the pacification of Spain.
Interested in the cstablishmcnt of her constitutional Go-
vernment, it would cause us sincere regret to sec anarchy
triumph over the work so courageously undertaken in the
name of liberty.
" France again reminds Europe of the rights of the
Polish nation, which have been so repeatedly stipulated for
by treaties.
" You have our follist support in the orders which your
Majesty has given for the reinforcements which have been
despatched to Buenos Ayres to demand reparation of the
Government of that country.

" Our armies in Africa continue to reap fresh laurels,
Your sons, who never have been found wanting on any oc-
casion on which they could display their courage, have
shared the glories and dangers of these expeditions. We
request, Sire, that your Government should institute a
strict inquiry into the state of our affairs in that country,
in order that our brilliant feats of arms may not be fruit-
less, and that the country which we have so dearly bought
and so gloriously conquered may become a support to us
instead of a source of weakness.

" The Boulogne attempt was as insensate as it was cri-
minal. Nipped in the bud by the courage of our citizens,
it has been condemned by the law of the land ; justice has
swayed her impartial sword, the offence committed against
society has been justly dealt with, and this last hope of the
factious has been blighted at the very onset, by the devo-
tedness of the citizens ; it has been condemned by a so-
lemn judgment ; justice has had its free course ; the offence
committed against society has not been treated with im.
punity, and hope of factions of various grades has been
signally disappointed.

--" We shall devote our utmost attention to the law on the
budget. It is in consequence of States being exposed to
various changes that strict economy is always necessary.
At other periods the Chambers, from the great difficulty it
experienced in diminishing the taxes which press on the
country, were bound at least to recommend the maintenance
of a balance between the receipts and expenditure. As,
however, this balance is de facto broken, we shall consider
the means of re-establishing and of preserving it in future.
" The other laws which may be presented to us shall
meet with our serious inquiry. We already have to con-
gratulate ourselves for having responded by an unanimous
vote to the demand made by your Majesty for a grant in
aid of the sufferers by the late inundations.
" The union of the great Powers of the State is the surest
guarantee for the maintenance of peace and public tranquil-
lity. Order preserved at home by the energy and perseve-
rance of Government is the first element of strength abroad.
We only express the wish of France that it firmly desires
both. Have confidence in your destiny (votre etoile), as we
ourselves have in the perpetuity of your dynasty—( Laughter
from the Left.) Another son has been born to you, and
the same Providence which lately preserved you will con-
tinue to throw its shield over France and screen
anarchy. Be watchful that your

guarantee of the inviolability of your person. May probity

the left)—lct us lend out assistance to morals and the law.
Material interests have been too much studied—let us revive
in all hearts a disinterLsted love of our country, which may
inspire great devotion and generous sacrifices. Honour and
our colllllly, these are the true sources of civic virtue, and
which constitute the strength of nations and the durability
of states."

lira. MAJEsv;.—The two following paragraphs will
show our readers what foolish hopes the Tories enter-
tained, and what malignity they used in expressing
them. This part of their conduct, however, is only of
a piece wi,th the Bradshaw and Molesworth insults, and
proves #:nat they are ready to do and say anything but
the tinth. A short thiaO ago the Dublin Evening Mail
