SPIRIT OF THE PARISIAN JOURNALS.

Le Journal des Debuts.—" The motion of the Duke
of Wellington did rot provoke a discussion upon the ge-
neral situation of Europe. The d currents I e required to
be laid before the House all relate to facts now almost for-
gotten. Events succeed. each other with great rapidity;
and the negociations which preceded the independence of
Belgium may have already become a part of ancient his-
tory. The Duke of Wellington, who pretends to be sin-
cerely attached to an alliance between France and England,
nevertheless loses nu opportunity of embarrassing the re-
lations between the two countt ie.. endeavotn s to re-
present a speech of 31. Casimir Perier as at variance with
the conduct of the French Government in the affairs of
Belgium. The documents to which the Duke refers prove,
as he states, that the French Government has never re-
fused its cu-operation in enfincing the treaty by which the •
kingdom of the Netherlands was founded ; and this con-
duct, he maintains, is in manifest contradiction with the
declaration of M. Casimir Perier, that " the French Go-
vernment took the Belgian Revolution under its protec-
tion." All this, however, is a mere question of dates
It is true that the French Government neither provoked
nor protected the insurrection at Brussels; but from the
on lay
le • which this insurrection became a decided Revolu-
tine, France declared that she wou'd not suffer the armed
intervention of foreign Powers in the affairs of Belgium.
Lord Grey reused to follow the Duke of Wellington into
the field of ciiscuesion his Grace had chosen. The speech
tol a French Minister in the Chamber of Deputies is not a
document, nor can it be made a ground for Parliamentary
debate. The Duke of Wellington at last withdrew his
motion.".

Le Courrier Frwicuis.—" 'We give under the head
of foreign news, the answer made by Lord Grey to the
speech of the Duke of Wellington. This answer is
much less satisfactory than it was expected. There is
in the heart of English Statesmen of the old school a
Ohre of h .tred and jealousy against Fr :nee, which is
sure to vibrate wheneverwords of ambition and
spirit of conquest are heard. Happily the new genera.
tion, who have visited our country, who are acquainted
with our manners and have witnessed our efforts, can
better appreciate the 4entileents by which the French
nation are animated. This generation has an influence
over public opinion. When it arrives at the he d of
affairs it no doubt consolidate•through" etinvictiiiri the
bonds which have been formed onlyfrOrn•rireessity. In the
meanwhile it is painful to thiLlt that on the other side of"
the channel our Ministry. ' seriously accused of views of
sograndisement. In such an imputation we see nothing
but a bitter deli-ion. Earl Grey defended his friend
M. Perier in a. very strange manner. He confin.!il himself
to staitng that politeness and received usages.. did not per-
mit him to approve ihe censures of the Dike of 'Welling-
ton, and forbid ' him to make any harsh reflections.
Something inure might have been said for the head
of a Cibinrt which has sacrificed the interests and
dignity of the country, to the wish of being on friend,'
terms with the Prime Minister of England. Most of

the London Journals have acted more adroitly, by
stating that M. Perier had accommodated his word
to the feelings of part of his auditory, and that they must
not he taken literally. The discussion, however, has pro_
lured no important result. After the gracious conces.•
sinus made by Earl Grey to the Duke of Wellington, the
latter did not persist on his motion. Things remain d
as they ware before; that ie to t,ay, the Tories will seiz
the first opportunity •.!.f ',:ianifesting without disgui-te thei
hatred against trance, whist the 3linisterill party dare
rot openly avow the sympathy which attaches the Eng-
lish people to cur nat;on."
Le Journal do Cononercc,-...' The discussion raised ,
by the Duke of Wellington will find its echo through
France ; he has l rid most serious accusations against the
political system follow, d by the French Cabinet since
the Revolution of July. M. Casimir Perier in parti •
color is placed position from which he must lose n-
,inte in extricating himself, and if the Opposition do
not immediately afford him an opportunity of doing so,
his friends must maze must either resign his
portfolio, or retort upon his accusers the serious
charges brought against hint in t e English Parliament.
Some intimation of a project of restoring the ff,u.e of
Orange has already been made het'e, and tie warmth with
which Marshal Souk repelled the insinuation cannot have
been forgotten, Now the accusation is openly and firmly
madam, anti must be ~nswered in a style equaliy positive."
/e National, after quottng the article in the Gl,,be,
respecting Lord Stuart de RothY..ty, which will he found
under our English. he.id, says :—" The turn given by the
Globe to its contradiction is of itself sufficient to teach us,

if we were not before sufficiently aware of it, that the late
British Ambassador at Paris !as in fact charged by the
Tories to watch the proceedings of the French Govern
merit, and trap-mit such intelligence as might be use'ul to
that parry."
Le Temps.-" Of ail the jokes played off against the
system f the juste rniliet,, none certainly has been more
rutting thsn that launched by the Duke of Wellington.
His Grave has not hesitated to accuse our Ministers of
being 'possessed with a spirit of cerapesi! '"
Le Cons titutionnel, after stating that no opinion can
he formed on the question as to whether the authorities or
the peocle were to blame in the events of Grenoble until
the result of the judicial inquiries shall have shown whe-
ther the armed force was or was not employed without
previous sommations and formalities required by the law, ar-
guts that three events, as well as the similar scenes which
hare been occurring in various parts of France, prove the
fallacy of the system which has been so much adopted, of
retaining in administrative and judicial situations indivi-
duals who were employed and are attached to the late dy-
linty. It maintains that the advantages obtained from the
t' clinical knowledge of the business of their office are far
mote than counterbalances by the distention which must
inevitably exist between them and the partisans of the revo-
letinn of July, and aids, that the only true way to appre-
ciate the fitness of a functionary for office is to endeavour
to judge limn the former life and character of the indivi-
dual what would be his conduct if the enemy were within
forty leagues march of Paris.
On the 12th of last month there was born Cast-
maecioli in the Niolo, Island of Corsica, a female infant
having two beads. The conformation of the rest of the
body was nearly regular, except that the chest presented
two prominences, with a deep hollow between, and the
left kg and foot were srn iller than the right. The two
heads are nearly upon a level, and are of the same siz,,;
hut the face of that on the left is very pretty, while the
other is extremely plain, and the cranium much enlarged.
The Corsican journal, which rives the foregoing account,
dues not state whether the child is living or not.
