I disgraced itself. It was believed that the same pro-
ceeding would have been pursued with respect to
each paper. But no, there were two selected for
immediate prosecution. It was believed that short
work might have been made of the liberty of dis-
cussion, by bringing to trial, at the same time, the
Gazette and the Democratie Paeffique. The laiy
officers flattered themselves that they might avail
themselves of the prejudice entertained against the
political opinions represented by those two journals.
The proprietor of the Gazette suffered judg-
ment to go by default; the proprietor of the
Democratie Pacifique confided in the justice of the
jury, and he was right, for he had two great chances
of success, one the truth of his article, the other the
speech of M. Bresson, the Attorney-General's sub-
stitute. The article was cutting, firm, and animated,
and breathed an honourable and ardent indignation.
But who is the man who at present does not expe-
rience indignation ? Where is the sincere citizen
who, when he interrogates himself, does not find in
the recesses of his conscience a cry of anger and
alarm which has been echoed by the entire press ?
It was an excellent position, and the hardihood of the
writer ought to have saved the journal. It was a
further good fortune to be prosecuted by an advocate
whose eloquence weighs 600 pounds, and his club, in
place of falling on the journal, fell upon the unfor-
tunate jury. There was consequently no occasion
for deliberation ; the speech of M. Bresson did the
business. We rejoice heartily at this first success.
It is of good omen for our contemporaries who have
to pass through the same ordeal. We wish them,
above all, a prosecutor like M. Bresson, if they can-
not have himself."
M. GUIZOT is at this moment in a rather embar-
rassing situation, not only has his policy in Spain and
Italy turned out unsuccessful—not only has he been
defeated in the Court of Assizes, but there is a split
in the Cabinet which is not likely to be patched up.
The KING, as a reward for M. GUIZOT'S sacrifice of
his small remnant of character in the affair of the
Montpensier marriage, had promised him the Pre-
sidency of the Council when Marshal SOULT should
resign; that event has taken place, and M. DUCUATEL
declares that he will not serve in a subordinate capa-
city to M. GUIZOT. Accordingly the Due DR BROO•
LIE was sent for from England, and on his arrival in
Paris was summoned to attend a Cabinet Council, at
which M. GUIZOT was not present, but at the con-
clusion of which the Prince ALBERT DE BROG-•
LIE was sent off to Rome, with dispatches for
Count Rossi. Added to all these embarrassments is
one personal to Louts PHILIPPE himself. The ap-
pointment of the Duc D'AUMALE to the
Governor- Generalship of Algeria is so un-
popular, that although the Ministry have
made it they are afraid to announce it. It was
in vain that the Revue des Deux Mondes represented
the appointment as a most unpalatable one in Eng-
land, in order to endeavour to make it popular in
France. Not an English journal took any notice of
the matter, and the attempt, accordingly, egregiously
failed. It is impossible to make it popular. Mi-
litary men complain, and with reason, that all the
good things were monopolised by the Royal Family
while statesmen oppose the appointment on constitu-
tional grounds.
The Constitutionnel says :
" Let us suppose that instead of holding, accord-
ing to circumstances, temporary commands, all the
Princes should finish by being placed at the head of
permanent services; let us suppose a royal family
become very numerous in the course of time, very
rich in studious and active Princes, would not the
nation then have at its head not only a hereditary
royalty, but a fixed oligarchy, closing all careers at
the summit, and constituting an inviolable royalty on
every point of the Administration ? Is it to he ima-
gined that such a state of things could exist long
without danger, and that it would be consistent with
the constitution and interests of the country."
The National stigmatises the appointment on ac-
count of its nepotism, and reminds its readers that
the Due DE NEMOURS has the command of the army,
the Prince DE JOINyILLE of the fleet, and the Due DE
MONTTENSIER of the artillery.
The Presse is outrageous at the amnesty pro-
claimed by the Queen of SPAIN. It gives vent to
its agony at the defeat of French machinations in the
following outburst :
" Further important news from Spain ! The new
Ministry, or rather M. Salamanca, has just decreed
a full and entire amnesty, extending from Espartero
to the generals the highest placed and most compro-
mised of Count de Montemolin. It is impossible
colour,
omr, marked
re-action which is
this this scandalous piece of legerdemain, which has
constituted M. Salamanca arbiter of the destinies
of Spain, can stand firm against the explosion
of mockery, contempt, and indignation which
it has produced. The Far*, which like the
other journals, does not appear inclined to
look on the new Cabinet in a serious light, al-
lows it only a week's existence. One would imagine
that Mr. Bulwer is precisely of the same opinion, from
the manner in which he is turning time to the best advan-
tage. To amnesty all emigrants, even those who
refuse obstinately to acknowledge the legitimacy of
Queen Isabella, and who at the present moment are
conspiring against her throne at London, Paris, Ba-
yonne, Bordeaux, and St. Jean de Lus, is certainly a
grave measure, and which could only be taken by a
man irremediably pledged to England. The Pro-
gressistas and Espartero, as machines of war, and
Montemolin as a menacing perspective and a weapon
of reserve for any extremity, constitute at the pre-
sent moment the basis of the English policy in Spain.
It is by thus loading with unhoped-for favours, and
protection the enemies
that England hopes to

manifesting itself from one end of the Peninsula
to the other proves to us, however, that she will not
succeed so easily as she may have supposed. Although
there is only one cry on the part of the press not
devoted to Mr. Bulwer, to protest against the scandal
which has just been given to Europe, the journals,
however, cannot bring themselves to consider the new
Ministry as serious.

There is something very rich in the idea of stig-
matising a general amnesty as " a scandalous piece of
legerdemain." It is on the contrary a great fact—
un fail accompli.

General Montesquiou has addressed a letter to one
of the journals correcting some erroneous details which
had been given respecting the recent suicida of his
brother. He says in it:—" Count Alfred de Montes-
quiou had united and reserved all the elements of pros-
peritys but his delicate and ill state of health caused
and strengthened in him, for seine time, sinister ideas,
and a profound disgust of life. Affected with spleen to
an extreme degree, he had no-cause for unhappiness,
but he was unhappy. He leaves a numerous family, all
the members of which were equally worthy of his affec-
tion, and his great fortune was never compromised, nor
even engaged in any kind of speculation."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
Sales, 2,500 bales, of which 500 were American, for
expo: t. The prices of American were 6kd. to lid. per
pound.—Railway Shares were without any material
change, but with less stock offering.
The taking of the French loan is now again a subject
of consideration in monetary circles, and it is not easy
to determine whether it will be taken at once, or be yet
further delayed. From the daily decline in the value of
the Rentes at Paris, something is apparently on the
Lapis, and there is a doubt whether the Bank of France
can safely reduce the rate of accommodation while
money bears a comparatively high value out of doors.
A great deal at present is mere speculation on these
points, and, wore the loan taken at once, it would pro-
bably be better for all parties.
There aro later accounts by the Swordfish from Per-
nambuco, but no political news has been received. The
rate of exchange was 26id. to 27d. Cotton was brisk,
and Sugar was in diminished supply. All the vessels in
port were engaged.

Another house in the corn market is reported to be
embarrassed. The liabilities are said to be about
100,000/.

The Public Securities have been very depressed this
morning, and there is a further decline of per cent
We believe that the state of affairs in Spain, in so far
as France is concerned, occasions some anxiety. Con-
