LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 15, 1867.

The Emperor NAPOLEON has just performed a
generous act, and one that no doubt was very con-
genial to his tastes in sending to M. ROUIIER the
Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, accompanied

by a letter. This letter is couched in most flatter-
ing terms, but evidently contains more than mere
compliment in its graceful sentences. The EMPEROR
has availed himself of a convenient opportunity for
expressing his thanks to one who has served him
well and faithfully, and who has distinguished
himself by the brilliant success of many of
his undertakings. In referring to the cross,
which is set in diamonds, his MAJESTY re-
marks that " diamonds can add nothing to the high
esteem in which he holds him," but that he avails
himself readily of the chance of thus publicly giving
a new proof of his confidence and his esteem. "In
the midst of your many labours," adds he, " in the
midst of the unjust attacks of which you have been
the object, a friendly attention on my part will, I
hope, cause you to forget the annoyances insepar-
able from your position, and to recal
.to your
mind your successes, and the services which
you daily render to the country." These
well chosen words aptly represent the real

state of the case concerning the position of the
Minister in question, and no doubt this considerate
a;..,t of the ENtrEnna's will afford him encouragement
and satisfaction in his arduous course. it is, at the
same time, a notable record of past services, and
it effaces, in some degree, the vexations of present
complications, while it holds out promise for the
future.

Although it is well known that the chief work of
transacting business is done by the EMPEROR him.
self, still it must be borne in mind that the posi•
tion of a French Minister is, in many respects
an awkward one, and that it is an invidious one
besides, because if anything is unpopular in the
Imperial policy, it is very etsy to put the blame
upon the Minister, and make him virtually respon-
sible for what he cannot help. Under all circum-
stances, it seems a very appropriate thing that this
compliment should have been paid to M. Rouher,
and he deserves the tribute thus courteously ren-
dered to him, no less for his public services than for
the advantages he has conferred on the EMPEROR by
his zeal and assiduity. The task of conducting French
policy has been very trying of late, and after a
course of almost unparalleled success it has taken a
depressing, if not a disastrous turn. To meet this
it has required renewed exertion on the part of the
authorities, and a determination to make the best
of things, which is more easy to resolve upon than
to perform. M. ROUIIER may be congratulated
upon receiving this token of esteem on the part of
his Imperial Highness, for he has deserved much of
the EMPEROR and also of the people, since his best
efforts have not been wanting to further the ends
desired, and in promoting the welfare and studying
he interests of France.

•when we naturally sum up the work of the session,
wd decide upon the merits of the various claimants.
It cannot be said that the leaders of the Opposition
can lay claim to the merit of having passed the bill.

It is true that during the last month or two they
have been tolerably quiescent ; but why so ? Be-
cause the House had divided against them, and they
were worsted, after using all their resources,
and putting forth all their strength.
It .will not do for them now to de-
clare that without them the work would not
have been accomplished, because it is no thanks to
them that we are not now in a worse state than at
the commencement of the session. Ilad the
machinations of last April bean successful, where
would the chance of Reform be now ? This is the
best answer to give to those who aro confusing
things. The merit of passing this bill is due to
the Government in the first place, and next to
those who assisted them in triumphing over an
organised opposition to it, and those who fully and
fairly consider the matter must inevitably arrive at
this decision. Palmarn qui meruit ferat is a time-
honoured adage, and it must not be forgotten
nowadays when people are very apt to infer one
thing and to suggest another until a very opposite
conclusion is arrived at from that which truth can
approve or ratify. No doubt the general feeling
of the house will be that of relief at this trouble-
some question being so disposed of in the most satis-
actory way possible.
