(FROM THE DAILY PAPER 9 OF ES TEItDA Y. )
(From the Globe.)
The Journal des Debals answers our recent rernarki
on the inconsistency of its sudden turn in favour of the
Tory, party in this country. It has a/wass expressed
. • for
Its autniration tne talents, and sympathy for the poli-
tical conduct, of Sir Robert Peel. Whether our Paris
Contemporary is consistent or inconsistent with its For-
tner self, can matter very little to English readers. We
gave ourselves no trouble to demonstrate that incon-
sistency. The only inconsistency which has any
interest for us or our readers, is that which
the Debats shares with Sir Robert Peel
nm-
self, and the rest of those whom it first terms the
moderate fraction of the Conservative party, and th
(forgetting they are a fraction) talks of us though they'
formed the whole party. The Debats quotes the linti
tations (which Sir Robert Peel laid down some time
back) to the party warfare of an opposition conducted
on Conservative principles. If the Tory party had
ever dreamed of observing those limitattons—it their
leader even had not followed his party in disregardinst
them—those fair words of Sir Robert, Peel would have
been what the Debats fancies them, a full vindication
of " moderate" Tory opposition, and a fair claim on
Whig gratitude. But when have "fair words" bent
held an equivalent for "buttered parsnips?" Many po-
litical parsnips, indeed, has Sir Robert Peel buttered at
this rive! There is nothing which he studies more
skilfully (and a grand weapon of debate it than the
art of placing his line of conduct, and that which he
chalks out for his party, in advantageous contrast with
that attributed by him to his opponents. But the whole
legitimate and permanent effect of this made of rhetoric
must depend on deeds being found to correspond with
words. And the higher th credit deserved by a Con-
servative party for continuing Conservative, even in Op-
position—the deeper the discredit which must attach to
that party, if it is found flagrantly sacrificing Conserva-
tive principles to party purposes.
(From the Standard.)

That there are too many enemies of peace in France
is now apparent. There are who desire war because
they want employment—there are who desire war as
opening a road to ambition—there are who desire war
from that abstract hatred of England of which we have
given a sample—there are who desire war as leading to
the re-establishment of the Republic or the Napoleoh dy
nasty—there are some who think they see in war a pros-
pect of the recovery of the throne by the elder branch
of the Bourbons ; and above all, and most rancorous and
malignant of all who seek a war with England, there are
the fanatical Romanist sect, the preachers by their organ,
the Univers, of the necessity of " a baptism of blood had
glory' tor the kings of France. This is a formidable array
of the elements of war ; but there is some consolation
in the view of their utter repugnance among themselves
—more in the character of the King of the French,
and in the good sense of; we fondly believe, the majo-
rity of the French nation. The various parties maw
be agreed in wishing for a war with England, but are
they quite prepared for the carrying of it on in
harmony ? Will the Napoleonists, Legitimists, ana
Republicans, for example, cooperate cordially in
giving to the reigning family " the baptism of
blood and glory,"—or will they agree among them-
selves as to the form of propagandism which it may
be proper to adopt as an auxiliary to war ? Again,
the Republicans and Napoleonists are notoriously
rather free in their religious notions. One of their
great foundations of hope is the revolutionising
of Italy. Will the Legitimist and Romanist
fanatics assist in a scheme, one of the earliest results of
which would, probably, be the throwing of Dr. Capel-
lari and his Cardinals into the Tiber, and establishing an
ultra-Liberal Government in the Holy City ? They
know, as well as we do, that though the Rotnish
Church has made prodigious efforts in France within
the last few years, it has as yet fiery little hold upon the
minds of the mass of the people. Its utmost success
has been, as its utmost efforts have been directed to
that object, to prevent the adult generation from bp-
coming Protestant Christians without making theta
Romanists.

(From the Courier.)
The last ©f Dr. Chalmers' productions on the
Church question—" What ought the Church and the
people of Scotland to do now 1" furnishes a most singu-
lar commentary on his celebrated text—" Retract ! no,
not a hair's-breadth." When this text was given out
e.e cathedra, the cry was, " The veto! the whole veto!
and nothing but the veto !" Now, says the Learned
Professor in the tract before us, " The first thing, thee,
which in our estimation the Church ought to do, is to
repeal the Veto Law." Dr. Cook, as the head of the
Moderates in 1834, opposed the enactment of the Veto
Law ; and through every Presbytery and Synod
where they could make their voices heard, the Mo-
derates have been calling out " Repeal the Veto-
Law !" and at length the " Evangelicals" are respond-
ing to the call. This at least says something fi'r
the moderate party having all along been righ. iu
this Veto question ; and demonstrates moreover that
it is easier to move the Church—at least from this
particular modification of the non-intrusion principle—
than to dislodge Arthur's Seat or Edinburgh Castle
from their places. We are far indeed from finding Kula
with Dr. Chalmers for the candid confession he has
made, that the very first thing the Church has to do
is to repeal the Veto Law. It is likhly honoUrable to
him, the very father of this law, to brave the
reproaches. to which this course may expose him.•
rather than to persevere in sustaining an ec-
clesiastical arrangement, which he at length sees
and acknowledges to be incompatible with the law of
the land ; and we should apprehend, being so ineorn..
patible, also inconsistent with the enactments of a
Church established by that law.
