LONDON, THURSD AY EVENING,

Voices on the Left—Consult the Assembly again.—
No, no!)

. ,
The Assembly being consulted, the first trial was
declared doubtful. On the second trial the result
being the same, it was decided that the discussion was
to proceed, and General DE LAMORICIERE spoke in
favour of the amendment, which was of course re-
jected. It is sufficiently evident, however, that it was
solely owing to General LAMORICIER}:B " pluck" and
known character for courage that he obtained a hear-
ing. Had any man less known than General LA-.
MORICIERE attempted to speak, M. DUPIN would at
once have ordered him from the tribune.

The National has the following on the atrocious
attempt of M. BERRYER to establish a solidarite
between the Republicans of the vielle and Louvel

"Against whom is this accusation of cowardly
assassination brought ? Against the Republican
party which has been seen sufficiently often under fire
not to be accused of cowardice. Against the Repub-
lican party which abolished the punishment of death.
Against the Republican party which did not sully its
victory with the blood of a single victim.
" .A.h if we chose to make reprisals on you old
courtiers of the monarchy, how many assassins might
we count up in your ranks from the days of GEORGES
CADOUAL and Prince POLIGNAC downwards ? You
who calumniate are you not of the party of the TEES
TAILLoNs ? The chauffeurs of the west, those assassins
of women and children, what was their flag ? Do you
recollect ? Have the Republicans ever raised a monu-
ment to LOUVEL by national subscription ? The
monument erected by the Legitimatists in honour of
GEORGES CADOUAL still subsists under the lime
which covers it in the Landes of Britanny."
It has been a subject of remark that M.
ODILON BARROT has almost ostentatiously
abstained from either speaking or voting on the
electoral law. He is, it is said by his friends, not
such a fool as to follow the Burgraves in their mad
career, but at the same time he has not sufficient
courage to take his place among the defenders of the
Constitution.

The Evinement has.the following from Strasbourg,
dated the 20‘1,
" M. Emile de Girardin is the chosen candidate of the
conclave of Strasbourg, by a very large majority. Emile
de Girardin, 45; Flocon, 28; Leichtemberger, 6."
The " got up" squabble with Lord PALMERSTON
having served its purpose, by the withdrawing at.
tention somewhat from the Electoral Bill, will
now, it is said, be suffered quietly to drop.
The Siticle has the following pungent observations
on this contemptible " thimble-rig" of the " honest
and moderate :"
"It was, after all, nothing but a comedy. It was said
so, but we refused to believe it. What! you talked of
the national dignity wounded, of the imperious necessity
of maintaining the honour of the Republic before an ally
who had forfeited his word and failed in the respect due
to a great people 4, Your journals authorised by the
police, while reproducing the virulent articles directed
by the London papers against the English Cabinet, de-
nounced as a bad patriot whoever on this side of
the Channel should even cast a doubt on the reality
of the complaints alleged by the Cabinet of the Elysee!
And all this was—what shall we call it?—nothing
but an Eglinton tournament, after which each corn-
battant sat down to his supper, remarking on what
the effect of the blows given would have been if the
heads of the lances had not been covered with cork, or
with India rubber. We do not, however, regret that we
have not allowed ourselves to be led away by the fine
words which have been uttered. There might have
been something serious in it—something which de-
manded a reparation; we wished to verify facts with our
own eyes. The organs of re-action already exclaimed :
It is nothing but a fit of the sulks similar to that which
has existed between Spain and England.' To that we
say that is what will be seen, a republic having a right
to be more punctilious than a monarchy in a matter of
national dignity. A diplomatist, M. de Haussonville,
took care to instruct us that from 1834 to 1848
Lord Palmerston, more or less, openly played with the
Orleaniat Government, but that concerns us but little,
for it was not to recommence submitting to mystifi-
cations that France founded a government of universal
suffrage. Big it is impossible for us any longer to re-
gard the affair as serious, when our great politicians
decidedly declare that the only object was to tease Lord
Palmerston, who teases all the world. So much, then,
for the imitation of the Spanish affair. What em-
barrasses us is to find any resemblance. Mr. Bulwer
had assumed the attitude of the head of a party. Has
the Marquis of Normanby done anything of the kind
in France ? The Spanish Cabinet sent his passports to
Mr. Bulwer. Not only has General Lahitte not sent
his passports to Lord Normanby, but instead of send-
ing letters of recall to M. Drouyn de I'Huys, ho simply
requested him to return to France, which he did on
such conditions that he would be well received in Lon-
don, if he were to return there to-morrow. But stop!
we think we do• see one resemblance. The Cabinet of
Madrid, after having thrown Lord Palmerston into the
sulks, ended by making it up with the Noble Viscount,
who has not the less remained Minister of Foreign
Affairs of Great britain. It is true that Queen Isabella
has obtained the removal of Mr. Bulwer, who displeased
her; but if a satisfaction of that nature is not permitted
to our Governitent, it may demand that Mr. Wyse
shall not be appointed Ambassador in the place of Lord
who is to obtain leave oC asent'a to vi.ii
estates. Seriously speaking, thu cenouement of the
affair of Greece presented itself in a canner which au-
thorised our Government to demand explanations.- These
explanations have been given in so cordial a tone, that
in our opinion they efface the wrongs which the English
Government might have committed in the abrupt solu-
tion of the Greek question. If any doubts could exist
in this respect, they would be removed by the dispatch
of the 19th May, addressed by Lord Palmerston to the
Marquis of Normanby, and by the summary of two
dispatches, dated the 4th and 6th of May, of Mr. W yse
to the Secretary of State. And nevertheless these same
men who, when they might have been considered to be
offended, sent by the ,telegraph into the departments—
' everything tends to Assure us that notwithstanding this
incident, harmony will not be disturbed between the
two countries,' persist in deferring the re-establishment
of that harmony, when all the real complaints appear to
have been set aside."'

M. DE MONTALEMBERT and the Burgraves com-
plain, it seems, of the hospitality offered to M. LEDRU
RoLLIN and his companions in England, and denounce
as a crime the encouraging persons who violate the
laws of their country; yet this very M. DE Momrs-
LEMBERT heads a subscription to present a cross to the
Archbishop of TURIN, who has been condemned for
violating the laws of his country. M. DII MONTA,.
LEMDERT thus holds himself forth to the world
as the champion of rebellion in Turin_ Should
he again denounce the " fomenters of rebellion"
from the tribune, we hope that some one will remind
him of his own encouragement of the rebellion by
Monsignor FRANZONI.
