letters and journals of Italy with full information. But
what was the upshot? That an army of 30,000 men, and a
campaign of two months with a regular siege, were ne-
cessary to end the enterprise. We have just had a similar
scone rt Zeetcha, where a cernretn of 50 duo was found

were first changed into 4,000 men, and then into 10,000,
according to the calculation of General Lahitto, who
ought to be the best judge of such matters. If the discus-
sion goes on a little, we shell arrive at 20,000 men; and
bear in mind that the intention is only to attack Oribe.
What would be the case if Roses is to be made war on
—if the country is to be occupied for two years, as M.
Daru recommends? And the Left ! and the Moun-
tain !—what can be said of the applause from their
benches at the generous dreams of the reporter of the
Committee ? Where is their love of country ?—their
respect for the money of the poor ? Where are those
of the democracy who had the inviolability of all na-
tions inscribed in the Constitution ? What do they
hope from the sacrifice of him whom the Argentine de-
mocracy and nationality support, notwithstanding his
crimes, because he has knowe how to defend the inde-
pendence of his country ? What passion guides in this
question an important fraction of the majority, if it be
true that M. Laroch(jacquelin, who spoke on Saturd ty,
and M. Berryer, who, it is said, is to speak to-day, are
his officili organs ? What object do they propose ?
rhere is also another man of immense talent who, it is
affirmed, is to take part in the discussion in favour of
war, namely, M. Titiers. We are well aware that if he
will join his talent to that of M. Berryer he will pro-
baVy carry with him the voices of the As,embly ; he
ail have the sad gratification of precipitating his
country into a deplorable folly. Bat what all his elo
(pence connot make us comprehend is, how a man who
has shown so much prudence, energy, and resistance in

The fact is: that M.M. TRIERS and BERRYBR are
endeavouring to plunge the country into war, in
order to revenge themselves on the PRESIDENT for
refusing to betray, at their bidding, the trust reposed
in him by the Constitution.
There was a grand reception at the Elysee yester-
day, as is usual on New Year's day.
A magnificent sword of honour—a masterpiece of
workmanship—has been presented to General CHAN-
GARNIER, bearing the following inscription :—" The
defenders of order to General Changarnier."
The Abbe DE LAMENNAIS has retired from the
Editorship of the Refornze. It is said that M. ARMAND
MARRAST is about to assume the direction of that
journal.

The PRESIDENT of the Republic has celebrated the
new year by creating, for the first time since the Re-
volution of February, a Field-Marshal of France.
The General upon whom this distinguished honour
has been conferred is the PRESIDENT'S uncle, General
J EROME BONAPARTE, the Governor of the Invalides,
and ex-King of Westphalia. The elevation of JE-
ROME BONAPARTE to the dignity of Marshal is con-
sidered a fact of some importance, as showing that
there is a reconciliation between the PRESIDENT of
the Republic and the members of his family,
In the Passage de l'Opera to day, nothing whatever
