LONDON:
SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1841.

The division took place at half-past two o'clock
this morning. The numbers were—for the Ad-
dress, 269; for the Amendment, 360; leaving
the Ministers in a minority of 91. Of course
they will resign this day or Monday.

With singular inconsistency the Opposition Press of
France, and a considerable number of the French people,
condemn the census and abuse M. GUIZOT. The impo-
sition of taxes to defray the expenses of war preparations
drives them to a state of insurrection bordering upon
open rebellion ; and yet they treat to a concert of mar-
row-bones and cleavers the statesmen who of all otheri
contributed most to save them from the infliction of
war taxes. The National of Thursday last relates
with evident delight that the inhabitants of Caen to the
number of 3,000, gave a charivari to M. GUIZOT on the
23d instant ; and yet these persons, in insulting the
Minister, kept shouting, " Down with the census."
Were these maniacs ignorant that it was not M. GUIZOT,
but their idol M. TRIERS, and his darling organs of the
Paris press, that rendered the taking of the census, with

Had the individuals, the journals, and the corporations,
who now make such a noise about the census, opposed
the war policy of TRIERS as M. GUIZOT did, or de-
nounced the embastilling of the capital as he, we regret,
did not do, then could we sympathize with those ebul-
litions of passion which seek to cover withpopular ob-
loquy the character of a time-serving Minister. But
G
when true patriotism was called for M. UIZOT was the
only Frenchman who distinguished himself by the adop-
tion of a humane policy ; and now his opponents have
the meanness to revenge upon him the consequences of
their own want of public virtue. This is the ne plus
ultra of baseness.

In our summary of Public Opinion we have given
the comments of the French Opposition Journals of
Wednesday upon the excellent speech of M. GUIZOT at
the Lisieux banquet. They are not wanting in the bit-
terness of defeated malice. They abound in the venom
of a faction ever ready to unfurl at the mast-
head of the great vessel of the State the black
flag of piracy. But they have no longer any
commanding influence either at home or abroad. In
the name of humanity we thank M. GUIZOT for the ser-
vices his moderation upon the Eastern question ren•
.dared to France and to Europe. But for his sagacious
councils, and the firmness of the KING, who had set his
face against the mad career of conquest projected
by M. THIERS, England and France would be now

engaged in a contest which would have shook Europe to
its centre. To whom is national gratitude due, if not to
the men by whom two great, but heavily-taxed nations,
were spared the infliction of such a calamity ?
A letter from Eu of 22d inst. says --" The Rodeur, after
firing a salute of 24 guns, left Treport yesterday to return to her
station off Dieppe. If the afternoon of yesterday the King, ac-
companied by Marshal Souit and the Minister of Commerce, went
to Treport, where he received a salute from the Grondeur steamer,
and from thence proceeded to the village of Mers. On arriving
near the Church, the cure, who was there, expressed a hope
that his Majesty would condescend to allow a poor priest to
call down in his humble Church the benedictions of Heaven
upon the head of the Sovereign, who had preserved peace for
his people. The King entered the Church, and a simple ant
affecting ceremony took place, which was followed by the
Domine salvum, Sung by the village congregation. The Mi-
nister of Finance has arrived this day ; the Minister of Justice
has left for Paris."

The Courrier Francais says—" There was some talk yes-
terday of the intended retirement of M. Humann. We be-
lieve this rumour is without foundation. Far from thinking of
retiring, M. Hamann is apprdaching the moment for realising
the scheme which he has must at heart. He has deferred the
emission of the loan, bemuse he knew this was the best way
to retard the Ministerial crisis. By postponing the loan, M.
Humann has necessarily postponed the session, and by post-
poning the session he has given two or three months more to
the Ministry. On the 22d September the Treasury has to pay
nearly 80 millions to the holders of 5 per cent., 4i per cents.,
and 4 per cents. By fixing the emission of the loan for Octo-
ber, the Minister hopes that the greater part of this money
will be converted into new rentes, and return to the Treasury. '
Of 90young carrier pigeons belonging to the Societe d' Abeona
of Brusse's, which were let fly at Paris on the 22d instant, at ten
o'clock in the morning, nine got home between two minutes
and nine minutes past two o'clock the same day. A similar
trial was made between London and Antwerp a few days ago.
No less than 147 young pigeons were let fly from London at
eight o'clock one morning; the first that got home reached An .
twerp at seven minutes past two o'clock, thus gaining the prin-
cipal prize (a clock and a silver article) for its owner, M. Seghers.
The Ministry announces in the Messager this evening a
wholly unexpected application of the laws of September. We
find in that paper the following statement :
" The Editors of the Gazette des Tribuneaux and the
Quotidienne have been summoned to-day, at the instance of
the King's Attorney-General, to appear before the Tribunal of
Correctional Police, for having given an account, contrary to
the 11th article of the laws of 9th of September, 1835, of the
action brought by N. Simon Didear against the Editor of the
Courrier de 1' lure, in the Civil Tribunal of Grenoble, to ob-
tain damages for an article which M. Didear pretended to be a
libel on his father's memory. The article of the laws of
September, the application of which is asked, is as follows :
" The journals and periodical publications are forbidden to
give an account of actions for insults and for defamation.
Where the proof of the defamator's facts is not admitted by the
law they can only announce the action on the demand of the
plaintiff. In all cases they may insert the sentence."
This Grenoble plot must certainly be a terrible affair, since
recourse is had to the most unforeseen exaggerations of a le-
gislation already so severe, in order to keep this mystery in ob-
scut ity. —Le Commerce.

Arbrices from Algiers of the 16th inst., in the Toulonnats,
state that great activity prevails at Coleah, Blidah, and other
fortflied points on the skirts of the Metidjah, in making the
continuous ditch to keep out the Arabs.
The Tuscan Consul at Algiers, M. Tobler, a merchant of
high respectability, had failed for 800,000 francs. His
creditors were principally at Leghorn. A correspon-
dent of the Sentinelle estimates his liabilities at only
half the above sum. It is stated in this journal that the chief
of the Aladjouts near I%lilianah, is disposed to come over to
the French if 'they will ensure him an eminent position in his
own part of the country, and efficient protection against Ab-
del Kader. The Governor-General is asserted to have cum
to an open rupture with the Bishop of Algiers, mit() have'
forbidden that any more Priests should be sent to make over-
tures about exchange of prisoners. This was believed to have
exasperated the Arabs against the Bishop, whom they had con-
sidered possessed of more influence than was the case, and are
now greatly disappointed at not receiving any more envoys
from him. It was thought that the sudden departure of the
Bishop for France was not unconnected with this misunder-
standing with General Bugeaud.
A letter from Kirchberg of the 14th inst , quoted by the
France, says, that the Duke de Bordeaux is going on in the
most satisfactory manner.— Galignani's Messenger.

MACHINERY AND HAND-LABOUR. -We are not
aware that any machinery has, of late, been introduced
to supersede tailors, shoemakers, and carpenters. Yet
at Bolton, according to the united testimony of Mr.
Mark Phillips and Dr. Bowring, the two former have
reduced in number one-half, and the latter one-fourth.
They have not been driven out of employment, out of
the town, and perhaps out of life, by new invented ma-
chines to make clothes and shoes. The bread-tax,
making people go shoeless and in rags, has done for
them—first deprived them of work, and then of life.
