It is impossib!e, indeed, on contrasting the conduct of Minis.
ters last Session with their conduct and language the Les-
sign before, to avoid the conclusion that they were very ignorant of
the state of the country at the earlier period, or very little ac-
quainted with the principles of commeree and political economy.
The mischief they have done to a good cause by their ignorance
cannot now be helped, but we hope that in opposition they will
diligently acquire information, as well as win back public confi.
dente, according to Mr. Rosaucx's recommendation, by practising
virtue.

kr. Rocsucx, in his clever speech on Tuesday night, taunted:Sir R.
Pmt and the Tories with having profited by base appeals to vulgar
Palilons on the subject of the Poor-law, while in their hearts they
aPpinved of that law as beneficial to the poorer classes. The
scorn expressed by the Hon. Member at this political baseness fell
With a withering effect on the Tories themselves. They were ob.
'Piously ashamed. The Hon. Member might have added that their
conduct, with 'respect, to the Catholics, was precisely similar, and
equally base. Sir R. PEEL, though he professes modera'ion, and
though he was publicly called on more than once to show
that he did not approve of the vile arts of the bigots
by Wbia_'he was profiting, never administered the slightest
elflike to his partisans. When his and their purpose was
answered, however, 'then the Exeter Hall fanatics, and the Pro-
testant Association were Froperly abused, and then the " surpliced
ruffians" were described as worthy of respect. More base political
conduct never fell under our observation. It is in politics what
the lowest kind of pilfering is in morals, and the Tories, for so
acting, well deserve the name of political sneaks. In law, too,
the receiver is as bad as the thief, and Sir Roaster PEEL, receiving
the support which he knows was most unworthily filched by dis-
onest arts, is just as bad as the sneaks at whose head he is placed.
h meaner political party, is. fact, than the bands of monopolists,
who seek to hide their several occupations under the common
name of Conservatives, never disgraced the history of England.

We have received the whole of the French Journals of Monday,
Their leading columns are principally occupied with the question
Of the Census, which now agitates the public mind of France. The
following extracts include all the misccUaneous news they contain
of any general interest :

A Swiss correspondent of the Courricr Francais observes:—
" The new Austrian and Lombard road of the Monte Stelvio,
which was formerly part of Eastern Switzerland, is now so much
frequented by traders and tourists Iss to have already injured, to a
&Feat extent, the interests of the inhabitants on the Swiss lines of
gPlugen and St. Gothard. Although the Lew road is at its most
elevated point 2,970 French metres, or more than 8,000 feet,
above the level of the sea, it is practicable during the greater part
of the year."
The Minister of Marine has ordered two steamers of 220-horse
Power, for the Mediterranean packet service, to be laid down at
Bordeaux.

According to our advices from Boulogne, the disturbance at the
Ball, on Tuesday night, has not led to any further consequences. It
appears to have been created principally by strangers to the town,
and the pickpockets helped to increase the disorder, for many rob-
beries. were committed-while it lasted. Eight persons were ar.
rested, and arestill under examination.
A circular issued to the Consuls at Bucharest by the Walla-
chian Government states, that in the late affair at Braila, where
some insurgent Bulgarians were put to death, the latter were the
mitt to attack the •Wallachlan troops, who had conducted them
to the lazaretto. The contest lasted tour hours. The Bulgarians
hid five killed, nine wounded, and seventeen taken prisoners. A
=teat number were drosined. Of the soldiers, one was killed, and
two. wounded. _ _ • •

Bernard Romberg, the celebrated violoncello player, has just
died at Hamburgh, aged 73.

The French Government has obtained from the Swiss authori-
ties the extradition of a fraudulent bankrupt, named Malaure,
Who was an agent at Angers, for obtaining substitutes for young
men drawn for the army, but had failed, and had since been carry-
ing on the business of horse.dealtr at Geneva, under an assumed
narae. Bills and cash to a large amount were found in his possession.

We received the Dutch and German mail last night
pith the papers. It appears, by accounts from Ham-
burgh, that blecklenburgh will shortlyjoin the German, or
rather Prussian Commercial League; and that, sooner or
later, the whole of the Hanseatic towns will be included in
it. Thd King of HoLLAND was expected at Flushing on the
26th instant, in order to grace the inauguration of the

EX PRESS FROM PARIS.

FRANCE.
We have received by Express news from Paris of Tuesday's
date.

A telegraphic despatch received in Paris on Mon-
day, antioUnced thrt tranquillity was restored at
Lille on Sunday. The census was completed at
Limoges without the least opposition, but in other
towns it continued to encounter resistance. The Municipal
Council at Nismes had protested against its legality. Ten in-
dividuals, arrested during the riots which took place at Bor-
deaux on the evening of the 12th and 13th inst., were tried by
the Coitrt of Correctional Police on the 21st. Nine were sen-
tenced to from ten days to four months' imprisonment, and the
other was acquitted.
The Moniteur Algerian, of the 16th inst., announces the
submission to the French of 900 persons of the powerful tribe
of the Medjehers, who inhabit both banks of the Lower Cheliff.
The price of wheat had fallen in most of the markets which
supply Paris, and also at Arras, Bordeaux, :Donal, Lisle,
Orleans, St. Quentin, and Strasburg. The quality and quan-
tity .of the grain were generally inferior to that of 1840.
The harvest was finished all round 1-aris, and was proceeding
in the norh of France favoured by beautiful weather.
A grand dinner was given to M. Guizot, at Lisieux, on
Stinday'',last. Two toasts were proposed, the one by the Sub-
Prefectrto the King of the French, to whose high wisdom the
country owes the preservation of peace, and the other by the
Mayor of Lisieux to M. Guizot, who, after having so much
contributed by his eloquence and writings to found the consti-
tutional monarchy in France—after having with admiral courage
defended,in turn liberty and order against the most desperate
faction—has just added a fresh title to all his former
glorious. titles. By his skilful policy peace is preserved in
Europe, and France, which did not fear war, applauded the ho-
nourable treaty which terminated so happily the crisis that
held the public mind so long"in suspense.
Mr. Guizot, in returning thanks, said that he professed a
strong attachment to the constitutional institutions of the coun-
try which had twice saved it, in 1830 when they suffered for
the defence of its liberties, and after 1830, when they pre-
seved it from anarchy, and recently from the evils of a revo-
lutionary war, and in which neither France nor Europe is wil-
ling to engage, M. Guizot attributed the maintenance of peace
to the King's wise exercise of his prerogative, and then proceed-
ed to vindicate at much length the domestic and foreign po-
hey of the present administiatien. Alluding to the Speech
t'f Lord Palmerston to his constituents at Tiverton, M.
Guizot said that he would abstain from all expression calcu-
lated to wotnd the susceptibility of any Government or say
foreign nation " for," said he, " I should not forgive myself for
tittering a word calculated to foment between France and
England, between France and Europe, old prejudices or hostile
sentiments."
