tions to obtain the throne of France for her son,
HENRY V.—but the Gazette forgets that there is
no Count HECTOR LUCCHESI PA LLI in the
affair, nor a weak, silly woman brought to bed in
prison)—and, in one word, the piece, which is
performed to crowded houses, and to listening
and admiring assemblies, is received with no
expressions of popular dislike, popular enmity,
or popular indignation." From this the writer
infers, and we think with justice,—for the
stage in France, as elsewhere, is the mirror
of the public mind,—that the people, dis-
gusted with the jesuitry and temporizing
of the Doctrinnaires, have subsided, or are
fast subsiding, into perfect apathy, as re-
spects the intrigues of the Royalists, on the
principle that a HENRY the Fifth Government
can scarcely be more anti-national than a Louis
PHILIP one. This is a dangerous state of
things. Apathy in the body politic is a far
more serious symptom than enthusiasm, however
mis-directed, for it is invariably the forerunner
of despotism. The star of NAPOLEON did not
begin to sparkle in the imperial horizon, till the
revolutionary blunders and atrocities had reduced
the mind of France to torpor, and made it un-
willing or unable to struggle again for freedom.

The Brighton Guardian has an article headed
" Ministerial Arrangements," which we copy for
the information of our readers. We should say
at once that it was without foundation, had it
not been that on more than one occasion his
Majesty's Ministers have manifested a disposi-
tion to think that they can strengthen themselves
by conciliating the Tories, when the very cause
of their weakness is already too great a tendency
to Toryism. Our contemporary says—

"We believe the following may he relied on. The
Ministers feel themselves weak upon the West India ques-
tion, because they will he opposed by the two extr«ine
parties in the [louse of Commons, the Tories and he Li-
berals: so that they have nothing to trust to but their own
thick and thin supporters. The Tories will oppose the
Bill, because they want no change ; and the Liberals will
oppose it b cause it proposes inefficient, changes. Under
these circumstances, a negiriation gas been again opened
with so.n« of the Tories; and the consequ«nee has been
that since Thursday, several special meetings of the Elites
of the Conservative C ub upon Carlton-terr ce have b«en
held io consider of the proposition. The alleged motive
on the part of the Whigs for recommencing negotiations
wi-h their political opponents is the necessity of all good
subjects rallying round the Throne at this perio I of demo-
cratic excisemen-. We hive reason to believe that a re-
solution has been come to at the Carlton Divan to break
off the negotivion altogether ; but it is said that two or
three of the members of this club are holding their alle-
giance to their former leaders very loosely, particularly one
or two who are considered of some importance in the
House of Lords.
