e, behind the chair, and greater than the chair I" This is
it nnritteationably not the case at present, whatever it
may be, should Sir ROBERT PEEL disappoint the ea-
ts, pectations of every rational Irishman by the signifi-
g cant hints which he threw out towards the close of
1. last session. Just now, Mr. O'Coesam. exercises
)f as potent an influence as ever he did over the Repeal
agitation, which is diminished or increased according
o to his sovereign will and pleasure. When he is absent
s from the chief scene of action in the Conciliation
t -Hall, indulging in the peaceful retirement of Derry-
nane, the question of Repeal remains in a state of
t comparative torpor, only to be roused into activity by
his reappearance in the field of agitation. In opposi-
tion, therefore, to the statement of Tait, we unhesi-
tatingly maintain that just at present Mr. O'CoNamit
is, in the strictest sense of the term, the Repeal mover
ment ; though it may be a question how long he will
remain so, should circumstances arise to increase the
hostility of the agitators towards the Union with
England. If the Premier, for instance, scared by the
clamour of the Irish Orangemen, who have already
expressed their feelings in ao unequivocal manner,
and by the opposition of the English Church digni-
taries who will be pretty sure to fraternise with thorn,
narrows his views on the subject of Irish national
education, and backs craftily out of the assur-
ances which he gate last year in Parliament, the Re-
pealers, taking prompt advantage <if his infirmity of
purpose, and invested by it with tenfold moral influence
over the mind of their disappointed and indignant
countrymen, will resume the agitation with more
reckless energy than ever; and should Mr. O'CON-
ELL evince an indisposition, to go the whole hog with
them, and lend the weight of his sanction to all their
revottitionarr extravagances, then, in that ca,se—but
in that case only—he.will, to use the words of Tait,
"_have become -impotent to exorcise the
.spirit )vbich.
jsis spells have cycled." ;jut.r
we. anticipate no such
.contingency. - Mr. O'Cosixer.r. knows well how 'to
play play his game; and knows also that the. Repeal
tation is by no means so deeply seated in Ireland as
he would have ua.here in England believe it is. He is
the salt of its life—the breath of its nostrils—the fuel
that supplies .the fire,
.and when he relaxes in his,
exertions the cause sinks for the time igto a state of
ppsitive inertness.

Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have been

rest. On that day the Three per Cents. closed at 32

22 .7-16 at GO days ; the Five per Cents. at 23 for

60 days.

The few Paris papers published on Thursday are
chiefly occupied with the addresses presented to the
Kura on New Year's-day, and his MAJESTY'S replies,
which possess more interest than is usually found in
these interchanges of compliments. This arises chiefly
from the KING'S visit to England, the settlement of
the disputes with Morocco, and the universal wish
expressed for peace by all parties. The POPE'S
Nuncio represented the Diplomatic body, and the
Duke PASQUIER and M. SAUZET' delivered addresses
in the name of the Chambers. The Nuncio prudently
made no allusion to the KING'S journey to England,
a journey not at all gratifying to one or two of the
Sovereigns whom he represented; but both the Presi-
dents allude to it in the most marked terms, and regard
it as a guaranteee for peace among the nations of
Europe. The language of' M. SAUZIST is peculiarly
happy and complimentary, not so much to the Eng.
lish SOVERRIGN, as to that country which first este-
'bliihed on a solid basis constitutional government.
" France," said he, "is proud of her Km, and
shows her pride in him to all Europe. Wherever
your MAIESTY may bend your steps,' you must be
received with the respect due to the name of France,
with the admiration which is inspired by a life of
de'votedness, services, and trials, with that irresistible
influence which is ever attached to great missions
fulfilled with fortitude. These sentiments must pre-
vail in that land which was the first cradle of consti-
tutional liberty. It belongs to two great nations—.
both proud of their history—both rendered illustrious
by having passed through great struggles—both
admired at present for their rivalry in intelligence
and in the peaceful arts, to aggrandise themselves by
a mutual esteem, and watching with equal solicitude
over the maintenance of their reciprocal interests--of
finding in the conviction of their independence and
power, a common bond for labouring in the cause of
that liberty and civilization of which they are and must
continue to be the firmest supporters. This work of
order and of liberty,we have concurred with your MA-
JESTY to strengthen in our country. The days of storms
have fled; the time of repose and of consolation for
your heart has arrived. May Paormsrica long give
you the enjoyment of it; after so many trials." To this
the KING replied :—" It is, as you have to well ob-
served, for the progress of civilization, to efface be-
tween two great nations, so worthy of esteeming each
other, the last traces of those old animosities which
have lighted so many wars and caused so many evils,
and to give birth in their place to that reciprocal good-
will, which will secure to them the enjoyment in com-
Mon of the benefits of 'peace. In the course of my
visit to the Queen of ENGLAND, I was surrounded by
the manifestation of this sentiment, and I was able to
ascertain that the advantages of the happy concord;
which now subsists between the two Governments,'
were justly appreciated by England."
The Opposition journals, published on Thursday,
continue to express great indignation at the ex-
pressions said to have been used by the
Kllco when congratulating M. DZBELLETME on his
election as one of the Vice-Presidents of the
Chamber. They denounce such language as uncon-
stitutional and a Wanton interference of royalty with
the free deliberation of the people's representatives.
But the journals who thus complain have fifty times
committed similar errors. They have, contrary to all
constitutional principles, attacked the KING under the
title of the " chateau," or some other cognomen
equally intelligible, a practice totally at variance
With the principles of a constitution which admit*
that the KING can do no wrong, and throws the re-
sponsibility. of every measure on his advisers. But
the fact is constitutional government in France is j
only in its infancy, and time and experience are re
quired to instruct both XING and people in the
etiquette adopted by all 'parties in a country where
the rules of debate, as well, as writing in political
journals,. are universally admitted and practised. As
a specimen of the anger displayed by these journals,
we give the following from the France :
"We should like to know for what ':bject the Cabinet
publishes these words, and risks an t Ttempt so little in
harmony with constitutional prescrip' Sons. Is it an act
of vexation or an ill-advised piece of t,cties, a vengeance
against the Tuileries, or a calculation with regard to the
Chamber ? They may be both one' and tke other. M.
Guizot would not be sorry to pay back to the Château
malice for malice, and on the other hand he would find it
piquant to, give a hint, by means of the royal words; to
his friends who are absent to come to their posts. This
would be all fair warfare, but the proceeding is some-
what late. Nobody is ignorant at present in the majority
that, at all periods, Louis Philippe has, ostensibly sus-
tained to the end all the Ministries that' have been over-
turned for fourteen'years. Each has had the satisfac-
tion4l,f hearing him repeat, 4 I am 'with yoa, and cora;
pletely of your way 'of thinking.' That, however, has
not prevented the *risk. In the present case what has
just occurred at the Tuileries may well precipitate IL"
The KING'S remarks, however, appear to have had
some effect. On Thursday the Chamber of Deputies
met for the purpose of appointing a Committee to
draw up the Aires" in answer to the Speech from the
Throne, when ;Ministers had a vast majority. Not
fewer than 330 Deputies were present, and of these
191 voted for the Ministerial candidates, and only 139
for those of the Opposition, giving a majority of 52.
The Members appointed were Messrs. PIITRAMONT,
WIRT DR Bola,, D'ANGIVILL7I, FICLIX REAL,
Marshal SEBASTIANI, LATOURNELLE, HRBERT,
GAUTIIIIIR DR RUSIIGNY, and Sr. MARC GIRARDIN.
The first seven support the Government, and the
two latter are claimed by the Opposition, though
M. ST. MARC GIRARDIN is one of the principal
writers in the Journal des Debits, regarded as a
Ministerial paper. A brief discussion took place in
the Committee,itiec
