THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1835.

has undergone no reduction, and the diminution of 35,4391
in the cost of the non-effective service is, we believe, solely
to be attributed to the death of half-pay officers and other
annuitants in that department, and to the practical opera-
tion of the system established by former Ministers. We do
sincerely believe that, in the present peaceable state of the
whole civilized world, our military force might be reduced
by at least 10,000 men, with perfect safety to the Kingdom,
whether at home or abroad. We must ever be a maritime
power ; and it is, therefore, to our Navy, and not to a large
standing Army, that Britain must look for protection and
security.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday announce that a meet-
ing of the Deputies, to the number of three hundred, took
place on Tuesday in the Salle des Conferences near the Cham-
ber, in accordance with the notice to that effect, of which a

copy will be found in The Sun of yesterday. The object
of the meeting was to come to some fixed conclusion with
respect to the conduct which the Chamber of Deputies
ought to pursue in the event of the Ministerial arangements
being delayed any longer. Notwithstanding so large an
assemblage of Deputies, the results were singularly unim-
portant. The Members dispersed in groups formed them-
selves into little coteries, so that the Conference Cham-

ber appeared a second Babel, from the confusion
of tongues that prevailed. The most influential Mem-
bers of the late Cabinet were present, and among
them M. THIERS, who collected a crowd around him. In
the midst of the bustle he received a message from the
KING to repair instantly to the Tuilleries, which he
obeyed, leaving his friends in amazement as to the cause of
this unexpected summons. 'After much prolonged dis-
cussion, it was generally agreed that the Deputies should
present an Address to the KING on the subject of the
Ministerial arrangement, and as a preliminary step that the
motion of which notice had been given, calling upon the
late Ministers for explanations, should be renewed.
At the same time that the meeting of the Depu-
ties was held at the Salle des Conferences, a
similar meeting was held at the House of M.
FULCHERON for nearly the same purpose. Many De-
puties attended both, going to, and returning from, the
one and the other, so as to take a part in the discussions in
each of the assemblies. It is reported that the KING was
seriously alarmed ; and in the first moments of trepidation,
resolved to form a Cabinet on any conditions which the
Members might think proper to propose. But this design
was abandoned the instant he was informed of the way in
which the Deputies conducted their deliberations. He was
under no apprehension from the energy of men who dis-
cussed in groups a great Constitutional question. He,
however, dreads the idea of an Address on the sub-
ject of Ministerial appointments, because he knows
well that it will be impossible for him to continue
to conceal, under the formalities of rank, the fear.
ful fact that the refusal of honourable men to join
the Cabinet, arises from his own assumption of the powers,

for the exercise of which Ministers only can be held respon•
sible. He knows that he might appoint whom he pleased-to
the Presidency of the Council—that SOULT, GERARD, SE-
BASTIAN!, the Duke de BROGLIE, M. DUPIN, and twenty
others, are all ready to accept the Presidency of the Coun-
cil, provided his MAJESTY will permit them to exercise the
duties of their office, without dictation, interference, or
undue assumption on his part. This he is well
aware of ; and as the conduct deprecated by these
men is a gross violation of the Charter, he,
naturally enough, dreads the danger which he might incur,
by being called upon to state the real cause of the dis-
union which prevails in his councils. The fact is, that
Louis PHILIPPE desires, if possible, to set aside the Char-
ters of 1814 and 1830. He wants to become an Absolute
Monarch—to have a Cabinet as complaisant as a Turkish
Vizier, who is always most happy to have his head severed
from his shoulders, not only for his own faults, but those of
his Sublimity, the Shadow of the Prophet.
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednes-
day, M. DE SADE ascended the Tribune, and addressed the
President at considerable length, on the strange position in
which the Deputies and the country were placed, with
respect to the length of time they were without a regularly
responsible Ministry. He contended that it was not con-
sistent with the honour and dignity of the Chamber to be
kept longer in ignorance on the subject, and that the late
Ministers were bound, in hOnour and justice, to inform the
Chamber why the late Cabinet had been dissolved, without
any cause having been assigned ? what had been done to-
wards the construction of another Cabinet ? and at
what time might the Chamber expect that the new
arrangements would be completed ?—He went on to
state, that although the dismissal of his . Ministers was
one of the Royal prerogatives, yet the KING was morally
bound to employ it with the greatest caution—that the
Sovereign of France must not use it capriciously as if he
were an absolute Monarch—and that whatever the KING
might affect, the direction of the national interests must
and ought to emanate from the Tribune, from which lie ad-
dressed the House. This speech created a powerful sensa-
tion in the Chamber ; particularly when M. de SADE
asked the Deputies if they and France were to be afflicted
for ever with the cabals and intrigues of .the Court ? MM.
THIERS and GUIZOT both followed, each declaring that
he was ready to give the Chamber every satisfaction on the
questions alluded to, as soon as the arrangements then
pending were concluded ; stating, that until that event took
place, it would be a breach of trust to offer any explanation
which would satisfy the Chamber. The debate was
adjourned sine die. The KING was excessively annoyed
when informed of the independent tone adopted by the
Deputies in their discussion. The Impartial, however,
states that his MAJESTY had prepared himself against
the worst, by the appointment of a Cabinet on Tues-
day, at midnight. The following is a list of the
appointments, but as no announcement has yet ap-
peared in the. Moniteur, we cannot vouch for the au-
thenticity of one of them. Indeed, our own opinion is,
that the whole statement will turn out to be materially in-
correct :

M. de Broglie, Foreign Affairs and President of the Council.
M. Guizot, the Interior.
M. Duchatel, Finance.
M. Duvergier L'Hauranne, Commerce.
M. Remusat, Public Instruction.
M. Dumon, Justice.
General Schneider, War.
M. Duperre, the Marine.
It was not yet known whether the Ordinances should be
published in the Moniteur-this was the only point which was
not settled.
After what has taken place, it will he impossible for the
KING to delay much longer the construction of the Cabi-
net. The preservation of his Crown imperatively demands
the immediate settlement of this question. France is be-
ginning to get tired of Court intrigue, and her deputies will
no longer suffer the indulgence of Royal caprice, at the ex-
pense of popular interests.

soon contradicted, and the Three per Cents. receded to 79f. 95c.
The news from the Chambers has, however, determined a further

abandoned for the moment, on account of the importance of the

Brussels and German papers have been received. The
Courrier Beige states, that the cotton manufacturers have
appointed a Committee of six of the most intelligent mem-
bers of their body, to assist the Committee of the Chamber
of Deputies in fixing regulations for carrying on the cotton
trade. The Allgenzeine Zeitung contains a long and affect-
ing article on the death of the Emperor FRANCIS, and
further states that no changes will be made in any of the
higher departments of the State. Whether the past gene-
ral policy of the Empire will be departed from, is a question

not so easily answered. The Journal above mentioned
thus speaks of the last moments of the late Emperor of
AUSTRIA : _ .

" About midnight, his Majesty expressed a wish again to see his
children and his brothers. They were immediately called, and the
dying Monarch having given them his blessing, raised his hands
towards Heaven, and said, with an impressive voice, ' I conjure
you my beloved, who here see me dying, remember this moment;
be pious and united together, and Heaven will bless you.' After
these words, which were spoken with great exertion, the Emperor
became extremely faint, and those about him withdrew. A few
minutes afterwards, when he had recovered a Effie, he desired to
speak to the Archduke Palatine of Hungary. He conversed with
him about ten minutes, which seemed to be granted to him, that he
might impress en the heart of the Archduke the welfare of Hun-
gary. The last struggle scon followed, and the doors of the
Chamber were thrown open, to make the whole Court witnesses,
according to ancient usage, of the death of the Monarch."
The writer further adds ;—" The Imperial Family is
deeply afflicted by the loss it has sustained, and the whole
city is filled with mourning."
We regret being obliged to state, that the German
Papers hold out no hope of an amicable adjustment of the
differences between the Imperial Court and the Diet of
Switzerland. The Grand Duke of BADEN and the King
of WURTENBEItG have already given symptoms of com-
mencing hostilities, by'establishing a Cordon of troops on
the Swiss frontier, under various silly pretexts, and all the
otherlittle Despots are preparing to followtheir example. A
War is wanted to cleanse the Aristocratic kennels of Ger-

many.

We have received Newfoundland and Prince Edward's
Island Papers, the former to the 2d of February, and the
latter to the 28th of January, both inclusive. They refer
chiefly to the proceedings of the Colonial legislatures ; but
except that they bear testimony to the readiness with
which supplies have been voted, their contents are unim-
portant.

The determination lately expressed by the Ministers to
continue and even to increase the grant for promoting na-
tional education in Ireland, has kindled the wrath of those
purblind bigots who regard peace and mercy as matters of
very trifling importance, and rather partaking of the nature
of sin, if not accompanied with a holy abomination of heresy.

The Honourable Member who plays the part of
NOSE in the Orange Company, and who, to do him jus-
tice, seems to possess the olfactory nerve in as great
abundance and perfection as the slot hounds for which
his country was in former times so famous, moved last
night for a list of all such books as are distributed or used
under the direction of the Board, with the full titles
thereof ; and a list of the schools in which the whole
or any of such books are used as class books ; also,
returns of the number of Roman Catholic children ; of
children of the Church of England and Ireland, and of
Protestant children of other denominations, in each of
the schools under the superintendence of the Board.
The object of this motion cannot be mistaken ; it is to
give effect to the cry of " No Popery ;" but we are
sure it is most mischievous, and we hope it will
not succeed. No policy, in our opinion ; can be more
hurtful or more infatuated than that which would
either keep up the old, or create new sources of animosity,
between the Catholics and the Protestants in Ireland.
