by their authority, example, and continually (al-
though it be imperceptible) rising prosperity,
put an end to ciespoti;:m all over the world,
Monarchs will not be able to wage spoliating
wars as they have hitherto done, to the ruin of
their subjects, if these three great powers main-
tain, as they ought to do, a perfectly good un-
derstanding. It is in this view, as well as on
account of the loss of the Due de BROGLIE
as the Foreign Minister of France, that
we regret the deci,:ion of the French
Chambers. Whether they will have the wis-
dom and courage to make some satisfactory
arrangement of the debt acknowledged to be
due to America remains to be seen. As we have
before remarked, the path of honour is the path
of safety.

The Moniteur promulgates Royal ordinances,
by which M. PERSIL, Deputy Procureur-Ge-
neral of the Royal Court, is appointed Keeper
of the Seals, and Minister of Justice and of
Worship, in the room of M. BARTHE, who is
created a Peer of France, and made First Presi-
dent of the Court of Accounts, in the room of
M. BARBE MARBOIS, who resigns, but who
is invested with the dignity of Honorary First
President of the Court of Accounts.

M. THIERS, Deputy, Minister of Com-
merce and Public Works, is appointed Minister
of the Interior, in the room of Count D'AR-
GOUT, who is made Governor of the Bank of
France, in the place of the Duke the GAETE,
M. DUCHATEL, Deputy, is nominated Mi-
nister of Commerce, in the room of M. THIERS.

The separation of the attributions of the Mi-
nisters of the Interior and of Commerce will be
hereafter determined by a special ordinance.
Vice-Admiral Count de RIGNY, Deputy,
and Minister of the Marine and Colonies, is
appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs in the
room of the Due de BROGLIE.

Vice-Admiral Baron Roussi N, Ambassador
at Constantinople, is named Minister of the
Marine in the room of Admiral de RIGNY,
who, however, will continue to exercise the
functions of his late office till the arrival of
Admiral Rous six.

M. MARTIN DU NORD, Deputy, and Ad-
vocate-General of the Court of Cassation, is
appointed Procureur-General of the Royal Court
in the room of M.!PERsiL.

It will be seen, therefore, that the Ministers
who retain their previous offices are Marshal
SOULT, President of the Council and Minister
of War ; M. HUNIANN, Minister of Finance ;
and M. GUIZOT, Minister of Public In-
struction.

The Report of the poor Law Commission is
highly honourable to the Commissioners. The
facts it records must have long ago startled those
who had not looked into the state of the country
with their own eyes. To know the extent of an
evil, however, is one thing—to remove it without
giving rise to other and greater evils is another.
The power which the Commissioners propose to
vest in three persons, to be nominated, of course,
by the Crown, is indeed one of a very import-
ant and responsible kind. Who will be the
Commissioners ? Those who drew up the re-
port ? We have heard that they shrink from
the labour and the responsibility. Surely Mr.
SENIOR will not do so. He is a clear-headed
and a courageous man. The Bishops have al-
ready too much to do. Who, then, is qualified
for the task? Lord ALTIIORP will, WC tiust,
select men of acknowledged talent, firmness, and
benevolence. If he should fail to do so it will
be a fearful thing for the country. It is an office
the importance of which can hardly be esti-
mated. All the subordinate officers are to be
appointed by the Chief Commissioners, who will
thus have almost absolute power. True they
are to-be made accountable for their conduct to
Parliament, but whilst Parliament is not sitting
they may, if not persons of great practical wis-
dom, throw the whole country into confusion.
The Government cannot exercise too much
caution, nor should the new measures be adopted
hastily. Full time should be given for their
consideration, and we could almost wish that
the proposed bill were merely read and printed,
and its consideration deferred for at least
some months. Meantime the affairs of the
Dissenters and the tithe question will give
ample employment to the gentlemen 6f the
House of Commons. These questions being
satisfactorily settled, the Ministry will acquire a
new strength,which will enable them successfully
to grapple with the difficulties of the poor laws.
We shall return to the subject.

Our readers will find, in another part of
The Sun, that two of Sir CHARLES GRE-
VILLE'S Warwick electi6n committee, who
were declared agents by the Report of the
House of Commons, have been tried and con-
victed of bribery at the 'Warwick Assizes, and
sentenced each to pay a fine of 500/. ; and
what is more significant still, to be dis-
qualified for ever from voting at any elec-
tion in the United Kingdom, and holding
any civil office. The evidence against the de-
fendants was so clear, so distinct, so wholly un-
impeachable, that even Sir JAMES SCARLETT,
who was specially retained for them, could not,
with all his legal tact and ingenuity, make head
against it. Yet this is one of those sinless bo-
roughs which Mr. HALCOMB has taken under
his gracious protection ; which he conceives to
be a perfect model of electioneering purity ; in
the character of whose voters he can see neither
spot nor stain, further than that which we
all derive from our common origin from
ADAM ! The verdict against. the defend-
ants will, no doubt, have a prompt and
salutary effect on the minds of the community
at large. It is a broad hint to all electioneering
agents—a slap on the face of corruption, which
will set that dame's brazen cheeks tingling for
some time to come. As a comment on Mr.
HALCOMB'S dismal speeches about War-
wick, Hertford, and the rest of that immaculate
class, of boroughs, it is exceedingly pertinent
and edifying.

The radicals of Yarmouth have set up a cry
of " monopoly" against the office of corporation bell-
man, and have started one of their own party in oppo-
