FRAN CE.

The National has the following on the proposed
increase of the salary of the President :
" Who could have suggested to M. Bonaparte's clerks
the thought of askitg from France, exhausted as she is,
a salary so exorbitant as to be equivalent to the aliena-
tion of 7•i millions, or the nett produce for a year
of the duty on potable liquors? We cannot say. His
friends in the Assembly declare they know nothing about
it. The burgraves affirm they are not concerned in it.
We are, however, tempted to ask the Minister if he
does not fear that some connexion may be found between
the presentation and prorogation of the Bill against
universal suffrage and that of the 10,000 francs a day?
To have the air of serving M. Bonaparte, of being
agreeable to him, whilst ctimpromising him before the
country in a money question, is certainly a rnanceuvre
very like what might be expected from certain pupils
and copyists of Talleyrand. However that may be, the
majority itself received with the most marked coolness
the communication made by M. Fould. It is not, how-
ever, to be inferred from that fact, that it will refuse to
allow the 10,000 r. a day required to constitute the Se-
cond Providence,' if it is too religious to desire to offend
Heaven, and it is not ignorant that the manna of reac-
tionsry bills fulls above all from the Elp6?."
The Presse says—
" Ah! why has not the President of the Republic ful
lowed the counsels of M. de Lamartine? Why has he
not turned away his eyes from the seductions of the
Tuileries to contemplate Mount Vernon, where Wash-
ington resided in the grandeur of his genius? He would
there have learned how authorities rise to the highest
degree of power by raising themselves above vulgar
ambitions, and how the immortaility of a name is
founded on the liberty of a people!"
The Opinion Publique says :—" It was said at the
Assembly yesterday, that M. Thiers is shortly to pay
a visit of some days to England. This rumour gave
rise to many commentaries."
