which is rather in a desponding mood, thus upbraids
Ministers for fighting after they are virtually extinct :

" The Ministry demands then a second battle. What has
passed since the last contest to give the Cabinet hopes that
the Chamber will declare itself in a different manner, and
grant to it a posthumous majority? What new facts have
arisen ?By what acts has the Cabinet acquired to-day the
confidence which it did not possess yesterday? After the
vote on the Pritchard indemnity, the Cabinet ought to have
retired. It did not, however; and why should it do so on the
question of -the Secret Service Money ? Where is the neces.
sity of a second trial when the fact was so decisive? Is it
intended to multiply the number of games, in order to have
the more time to load the dice ?"

There is little doubt, however, that GUIZOT will
have a sufficient majority. The Opposition journals
have at last discovered the paragraph in the QuaEN's
Speech which recommends an increase of the navy
e s
indignant at a measure which
catni m

only
one e h i:ybhjlec
object
_the universal dominion of
the seas. After giving a long list of islands and
promontories and continents which England has ap-
propriated to herself by the most nefarious means, the
National resigns itself to despair:—

" England can now dare anything. Has she not imposed
upon France a man of her own as first Minister? What
counterpoise can there henceforward be to her power in the
balance of Europe? Has not a French Chamber consented to
indemnify a Pritchard, because he was not quite unrestrained
in his attempts to have Frenchmen assassinated? There is
not a continent, not an archipelago, not a commercial route,
which does not bear a sign of servitude. By the right of
search she can destroy all rival commerce, and we know in
what way she exercises this right. Let her then display
with pride all her means, let her augment her steam-navy,
in order to add new rights to those which she already enjoys
for the happiness of the world and her own subjects. We
see nothing to oppose it, unless Europe should at length be-
come weary of being governed by the agents and interested
friends of tugland."
The following are given as the principal clauses of
the treaty agreed to between the French Envoy and
the Chinese Commissioners, at Macao, on the 24th of
October :

" 1. France is to be placed on a footing of equality with
the most favoured nations, as respects customs' duties.
"2. She is never to be subjected to the payment of any
periodical tribute to the Sovereign of the Celestial Empire.
"3. She may establish a factory ist,Canton on the plan of
those possessed by the English, Dutch, Danes, Swedes, and
Spaniards.
"4. She will be permitted to trade at Tchang-tcheou,
reserving the right of the Crown of Spain, which enjoys a
privilege in that city.
"5. She may establish factories at Hiamen, Tchao•hing,
and Ningpo.
"6. Finally, she will have the right of trading in every
place that may hereafter be opened to the most favoured
nations."
