THE StN, LONDON, PRIDAY-31ORNING, FEBRUARY 7, 1545.

PRIEST, Minister Plenipotentiary. at Copenhagen, has
also been dismissed on account of his vote. These
wretched acts of violence were regarded by all as the
infallible symptoms of the last moments of the ex-
piring Ministry. It agitates itself in its impotence ;
it attaches its hopes to expedients which are precipi-
tating its end ; no violent means appear to it to he
proper to be neglected ; it feels itself dying. Its
terrors and agonies are proved by its convulsive
movements. The Chamber has judged it ;it sees
clearly that it cannot escape its sentence. It is
Le dernier jour d'un condamnii:"
The Ministerial Globe of Tuesday, however, places
the question in a fairer light :—" M. LIIERBETTE
yesterday," it says, " made a sort of demi-proposition
relative to the dismisal of M. DROUIN DE LUBYS. In
plane of formally demanding an explanation, which
the Cabinet declared it was ready to give, he inti-
mated that he should return to the subject when the
Bill relative to public functions was brought in. As
this Bill is to be discussed to-morrow, M. LIIERBETTE
will not have long to wait. Unfortunately, M.
LIIERIATTE NN ill not have much to say to-morrow,
unless it be that the dismissal of M. DROUIN DE
LIIUYS has been too long delayed. It was, in fact, no
slight scandal to behold a man attached officially to the
service of a policy and an administration which he
denied publicly, and which, consequently, he served ill.
When the will does not go on the same side as duty, it
is impossible for a functionary to properly perform
his duty. In such a case, common delicacy obliges
a man to quit his post. And let it not be said that a
Deputy is inviolable in his convictions. Without
doubt the conviction of a Deputy ought always to be
respected ; but a Deputy who accepts public functions
ought to accept the obligations which he contracts.
The first of these is to devote himself sincerely to the
service confided to him ; but how can one devote one's-
self to a work which one disapproves of, fights against,
and endeavours to trammel ? In accepting public
functions, a Deputy knows perfectly well that he will
have to exercise them under various and successive
Ministries. A change of policy is not, therefore, for
him a matter unforeseen; he ought to expect such
changes; and, if one of these systems of policy ap-
pears to him to be contrary to his principles, his
conscientious duty orders him either to keep his opi •
-pions and retire, or to sacrifice his opinions to the
place which he holds and remain. No casuistry_
will enable a man to get out of this dilemma.
The Journal des Debats contains the following
reply to the animadversions of the Opposition press on
the appointment of M. DE SALVANDY
" The appointment of the Count de Salvandy to be
Minister of Public Instruction has surprised and annoyed
the Opposition, insomuch that its journals have not been
able to suppress their spite. We can easily account for
this spite, and as easily conceive that the coalition can-
not see without dissatisfaction that the Cabinet should be
thinking of its completing itself, and of rendering its
existence more stable, when it was believed to be on the
verge of falling. The adhesion of a man of so much im-
portance as the Count de Salvandy is a happy event for the
Cabinet, and that the coalition should comprehend and be
vex:,.d at this is most natural. But what we can less imagine
is the surprise of the coalition. Does it not seem to indi-
cate that it had acquired rights over M. de Salvandy ?
Does it not seem to say that he had entered into a com-
pact with M. Thiers and M. Billault ? No ! M. de
Salvandy has never given any right to the coalition to
rely upon him ; he never has entered into any engage •
ment with it. We will say more : M. de Salvandy has
never tampered with any coalition, an honour, by the
way, in these times, too uncommon. This is a homage
which we. more than nay one else, have the right of
rendering to the firmness of his convictions and the
noble
.probity of his character. The coalition well
knows that M. de Salvandy has kept himself completely
aloof from all its mauosuvres. It cannot be ignorant
that, fn the debates on the Address, he voted against all
the amendments, and associated himself without reserve
or hesitation with the policy of the Cabinet. Since the
discussion of the Address, he has taken the most open
and active part in rallying and re organizing the Conser-
vative party. A conduct so loyal and patriotic gives un-
doubtedly no claims to the good graces of the coalition,
and we can easily conceive its chagrin."
The Railroad Police Bill passed the Chamber of
Deputies on Monday. In the course of the sitting
M. LIIERBETTE alluded to the late dismissal of M.
DROUIN DE Laura, which he declared to be a violent
attack on the independence of the Deputies. M.
GUIZOT, in reply, stated that he was ready to give
explanations on the subject whenever the Chamber
might deem it proper to demand them. The discus-
sion was, by common consen., postponed to the period
when the Secret Service Money Bill is under delibe-

ration.

Galignant s Messenger contains the following re-
marks relative to the affairs of Monte Video :
" The Cowriatioitne/ has a long arti2le on the affair
of Monte Vit:eo, in which it attacks M. Guizot with
much severity for having so long tolerated the infamous
cruelties of Rosas towarJs French subjects, and suffered
'the interests of French commerce to be compromised.
From some of the remarks on this article we may regard
it as the preliminary of a I mai notice of the subject
in the' Chamber by M. Thiers, who has probably
strengthened his case by some new and important facts
which have reached him through an authentic channel.
The Consflutionnel seems to think that M. Guizot has
in this affair been guilty \S the most culpable apathy,
and observes that a sing:e word from him would have
put an end to the attack upon Monte Video, and de-
livered that place for ever from the persecutions of its
enemy. On this occasion, however, and the circumstance
is really a novelty, no attempt is made to impute the
conduct of M. Guizot to any fear of offending England.
On the contrary, it would appear from the general bear-
ing of the article of the Consrt funnel, that M. Guizot
has ratht r resisted than complied with the w'shes of the
Government on this question. We have reason
to believe, however, that some unlerstanding has been
come to between the Earl of Aberdeen and I. Guizot,
and it is not improbable that the visit recently paid to
the French Mini:ter of Foreign Affairs by General
O'Brien, who • aine to Europe for the purpose of repre-
senting in their true light the atri.city of Itosas, and the
necessity of again placing the Banda Oriental under the
protection of some of the great Pt.wers, may have ad-
vsncedthe arrangements which had alrea ly b!en come
to between the French and English Governments."
The Revue de Paris states that letters were received
on Monday by the Government from Captain BauAT,
Governor of Otaheite, in which he states that he had
adopted measures for operating without any unplea-
sant complication, the transition from " absolute pos-
session" to the "protectorate." That journal adds:—
" We have not heard if M. BRUAT mentions having
completely succeeded in the accomplishment of hia
moderate and pacific intentions ; but we apprehend
that such has not been the case, for a report prevails
that fresh scenes of revolt and collision occurred
at Otaheite after the receipt of the dispatches en-
joining the immediate restoration of Queen POMARE."

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.
We have just received the following from our
Parisian Correspondent :
" PARIS, Two o'CLocK, WEDNESDAY.

" A telegraphic dispatch has just been received
announcing the arrival of the Indian Mail yester-
day morning at Marseilles. The dispatch being
silent as to the contents, it is to be presumed that
there is no political news of importance.
" The Paris papers contain no news. The Madrid
mail had not arrived, owing to snow on the roads.
" The Speech of the Queen of England had just
been received by Extraordinary Express, and was
considered most satisfactory."--111orning Paper.

In the produce markets to-day there is a remarkable fea-
ture- to notice, a declaration of very nearly 13.000 bags of
Mauritius sugar, and which under all circumstances has
gone off much better than was anticipated, the
more especially as many alterations are looked
for in the tariff. In several quarters doubts
were entertained whether Sir Robert Peel really
intended to bring forward the whole of the Budget on the
14th instant, but the declaration last night in Parliament
has set this question entirely at rest. An anxiety, great in-
de-ed;•is exhibited to learn what the alterations are to be.
The holders of British Plantation Sugars, as well as of Mau-
ritius, are pressing sales, under the expectation that there
will be a liberal alteration of the duties upon foreign free-
labour produce.
There has not been any late arrival announced from tLe
BritiSh colonies to-day..
There has been a. heavy market for the Three per Cent.
Coasols to-day. Sales.have been made for immediate trans-
fer at 99%, and for the Account at 991, being a fall of % to
54 per cent. on the highest value paid yesterday. Bank Stock
has receded from 215 to 213%. The Reduced Three per Cents.
have fluctuated from 99% to 100, and the New Three-and-
a-QUarter per Cents. from 103% to 54. India Stock is 2
.per 1 coif. lower than it was yesterday, namely, at 282.
Exchequer-bills are at 60s. to 625. premium.
In the Foreign Funds not a great deal of business has been
transacted this morning. Austrian Bonds have been done at
115 ; Chilian at 101 ; Mexican at 361 ; Portuguese at 86 ;
Russian at 119%. The Spanish Three per Cents. have fallen
from 4114 to 40%, and the Dutch Two•and-a-Half per Cents.
to 631,1. -
A vast amount of business has been transacted in the Rail-
way Shares to-day' but the quotations are scarcely so high
as yesterday, as our corrected list of the day will show. The
Irish lines are daily becoming more in request.

PEDESTRIANISM.—On Alonday a pedestrian match,
which has for some time been in nt
coemplation, between
Mills of Putney, and Batten of Kingston, came off on Dit-
ton Marsh, amid a vast concourse of spectators. The match
was to run four miles for 201.; and the ground selected was
from the Angel pulilic-house, at Kingston, to the Marquis of
Granby, at Ditton Marsh. The day was most unpropitious,
the ground being very heavy from the breaking up of the
frost arid the rain. ' The men came to the starting post ap-
parently in excellent health ; and, upon a signal being given,
they'went away at a slashing pace, keeping well together to
teat exertion, contrived
the second mile, when Batter), by g
to head his opponert a short distance. Mills, however, soon
gained upon him, and it was evident that the condition of
Batten could not stand the pace. When about half a mile
from home, Mills shot ahead, and kept in that phsition to
the end of the race, ac'comoli6hing the four miles in a few
seconds over twenty-two minutes.
THE BUCKINGHAMSHIRE LACE TRADE. —During
her Majesty's recent visit to the Duke of Buckingham, Mr.
Viccars, of Padhury, had the honour of submitting specimens
of. Buckinghamshire pillow lace for her Majesty's inspection,
from which her Majesty was graciously pleased to select
several pieces.
