cussions and the numerous amendments made during t
period often days on the Address in reply to the Speech from
the Throne, and naturally expresies great satisfaction at the
result. In every division the Opposition bad been defeated
by much larger majorities than were anticipated, although
the topics urged were generally those of a popular character—
such as the right of search, the policy with regard. to the
differences between England and America, and the entente
cordiale. On the entire of the Address the majority
was larger than any gained by the Ministry
since the accession of M. GUIZOT. The Opposition
journals are quite silent on these subjects, but several of
them make an undeserved attack upon M. DE LADIABTINE
for honestly expressing his sentiments in opposition to those
of Tnisens, DUPIN, and other Deputies of that class. M. "
LAMARTINE had written to the Constitutionnel and National,
to state that, by mistake in the division en the whole of the
Address, he had put his ball into the wrong urn, for it was
his intention to vote against the amendment of the Opposi-
tion, on the ground that they tended to er courage Ante
rica in her . territorial aggressions, and also to favour the
slave trade. To both these he is decidedly opposed, and be
declares so in strong language. On Saturday evening Lou
Puturrr received at the Tuileries a deputation from the
Chamber of Deputies with the Xddress, which was read by
the President, and returned the following reply. Hie DI ti
JaTY appears to have been greatly delighted with the res
of the discussions on the Address :

" Gentlemen,—l receive this address with very great sa-
tisfaction. lam happy to find in it so striking a manifesta-
tion of the support which you lend to my Government, and
of that loyal and steadfast concord which is at once the basis
of its strength, and the guarantee of all our liberties. Public
opinion is every day more convinced that it is by the
regular progress and the perfect concord of all the posers
of the State that France has attained the high de-
gree of prosperity upon which it is so delightful to me to be
able to congratulate you. Yes, gentlemen, it is with joy that
I express my confidence in the prospects of our country.
This confidence is fortified by the sentiments you have just
uttered. I see in them a presage that this harmonious °Pe'
ration, becoming every day more complete, shall continue to
future generations a greater development f that well belci
(Lien etre) at present so much enjoyed by all classes °'
society. Such, for a long time, has been the wish of my
heart and the object of my efforts. For myself, my most de-
lightful recompense will be found in the reflection that I IneY
safely hope that my government shall have contributed t°
ensure such benefits to my country."

It is strongly rumoured in political circles that a large
number of Conservative Peers have determined not to opPo'e
Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Corn Bill on the second reading, or
going into Committee ; but in Committee to support an
amendment for making Sir R. PEEL'S proposed sliding'
scale for the next three years permanent. It need not be said
that the carrying of such a measure will be a serious
embarrassment to the Minister, as it is impossible that, 03
the Bill so amended returning to the House of Commons, the
Liberal party could agree to the amendment.
A rumour was in circulation yesterday that Lord Asol,
was to succeed Lord Lmrcour as First Commissioner 01;
the Woods and Forests, and to be raised to the House 31
Lords. We have good reasons for believing that the latter
part of the report is without foundation.
