the Court of England ; but I will say, be-
hold the aspect which the world now pre-
sents—two nations are now labouring in Europe,
with success, to giVe themselves a regular Goverment;
behold, other great nations, on another continent, in-
creasing and developing themselves; behold China
opened for the first time to European commerce : all
this is due to the friendly intercourse, to the good
understanding between France and England; sup-
press that good understanding, and nothing of all this
will remain. Tell me, in such case, whether, instead
of those flourishing States, instead of facts so satis-
factory to civilization and morality, you would not
everywhere behold the confusion of war ? When a
Goyernment accomplishes such things in a short time,
it is worth giving it a proof of approbation ; it de-
pends on you, Gentlemen, to confirm or subvert what
has been achieved in four years ; as for us, we per-
sist in that policy because we deem it beneficial to
France and the world.—(Great applause.)
Billault said that he would not attempt to
struggle with the great orator who had just spoken,
be would merely ask whether a treaty of commerce
with .England were not projected ?
M. Guizot—There have been negotiations for a
treaty of commerce between France an
and,-England and ;
none of our great industries were concerned in it;
neither linen nor cotton articles had anything to do
with it, and woollens were but in iirectly and to a
very limited degree interested in it. Those negotia-
tions have ceased, and have not been resumed ; for
the present, therefore, there is nothing to excite the
Hon. Gentleman's fears. All the questions have re-
mained entire, and no engagement has been entered
into.—(Approbation.) As tbr me, the more I have
thought upon it, the more I have convinced myself
that between great Powers, which may be considered
as rivals, treaties of commerce binding them for a
long time are attended with inconvenience and dan-
ger—(Yes, yes)—and that it is better to proceed
with great rival countries by modifications of tariffs,
which leaves them all freedom, and gives the experi
,ment it is proposed making but the time strictly ne-
cessary. I shall add, that I have reason to hope that
our notions are also finding their way into the Eng-
lish Cabinet, that it will insist no more on a treaty of
commerce, but leave modifications of tariffs to attain
the object aimed at by both parties—an extension of
eommercial intercourse.
In reply to a question from M. Bethmont,
The Minister of Foreign Affairs said that he had
received no information whatever as to the alleged
occupation by the English of a port at Madagascar ;
and, moreover, that the English Government knew
not more about it. On being applied to, it had re-
plied that it had received no such news, and that no
orders had been issued, or mission given, in connec•
tion with the circumstance, either by the Admiralty,
Colonial, or Foreign Departments.
This concludes the discussion.

There were several cries of " Divide," in the midst
of which,
M. Thiers rose, and said—l have no right to ask
an adjournment till Monday ; but still it is my wish
to state to the Chainber my opinion of the state of
the country.—(Loud cries of " Hear," " Vote," Go
on," in the midst of which several members quitted
their places.)
The President then put the question that the
debate be adjourned till Monday, which was carried,
and the Chamber adjourned at half-past five.
