it is M. GurzoT who it is wished to assail.
Turn out M. GUIZOT, and the entente cordiale will
become a most excellent thing, and a new Ministry
would have a thousand tittles greater favilitiea in sati,-
fying England than the present Ministry can have.
In home affairs, in order to give a different bias to the
passions, should not something be conceded to them ?
Let the present Ministry be sacrificed to them ; they
will be contented, and, for a time at least, they will
require nothing more. The dismissal of M. GUIZOT
will be worth a Parliamentary reform, or a definition
of the attentat formerly promised by the Ministry of
March 1. M. TRIERS has guaranteed the silence of
the left Centre if M. GUIZOT is turned out. Perhaps
the old Centre will not be so quiet ; but what
can it do when reduced to its own strength alone ?
It will be put off to the calends. The great
secret for not changing measures is to change
men. A new Ministry has so many advantages!
It adjourns—it refuses to give explanations—it
knows not the meaning of what is required of it. Is
it not just that time should be allowed for it to study
the questions put to it? Can it be expected to form
decided plans before it has made itselfacquainted with
the state of affairs ? It will give its answers in the
next session. Add that a change of Ministry puts at
their ease many persons whom caprice, personal dis-
content, or an imprudent electoral promise have
thrown into the opposition, and who are kept there
against their own inclinations. A change tif Mi-
nistry affords them an opportunity for this change of
sides. Do you know what would happen if M.
GUIZOT were to remain too long Minister ? Two
great parties would be formed in France as in Eng-
land and America, and in all countries where a re-
presentative Government is really brought into prac-
tice. The Opposition would end, perhaps, in being
good for something more than upsetting Cabinets ;
it might become capable of having a decided
policy, and of seeking seriously a triumph of its
ideas. This is what must be prevented at any
price, and the means must, for want of better,
be by creating diversions with changes of Ca-
binets, without making any other change whatever."
The latter sentences plainly imply that the KING
himself fears both Ministry and Opposition ; that his
object is to play the one off against the other, to de-
stroy their authority with the nation, and deprive
both one and the other of the power of setting up
for themselves as arbiters of national policy. The
following are a few of the reasons urged by M.
TRIERS' paper for the ejection of M. GUIZOT
" There is a curious balance-sheet to be made up, of
the various indemnities which, in consequence of the
Ministerial policy, France has to pay or receive. A com-
parison of both will suffice alone to enable the world to
appreciate the dignity. firmness, and clevetness of our
Ministers. France has to pay—an indemnity to the
English merchants for the blockade of Portendic—the
sum figures in the supplementary credits ; an in-
demnity to her own agents, pillaged and ruined
by the Moors—this sum is also proposed ; an in
demnity to the ex-Consul Pritchard the promise
is formal ; the expenses of the glory in Morocco—
the sum is submitted to the votes of the Chamber.
On her side, France has at least to receive—indemni-
ties, which the Dictator of Buenos Ayres has to pay to
French merchants unjustly despoiled, and to the rela-
tions of the victims slaughtered by his agents. The
complainants, have, however, been sent from La Plata to
Paris, and thence back again, and several, after three or
four months' useless endeavours. are oeginning to lose
hope. The indemnity due to MM. Lemire by the Em-
peror of Morocco, and re,..ognised by him. M. Guizot
shamefully tricked the petitioners, for, before the war,
he told them to wait a more favourable moment ; after
the war, he promised to negotiate later. The indemnity
which England owes for the Marabout, towards which
her agents violated the text of the treaties on the right
of search. The affair has been these two years drag-
ging on, and England, condemned by a court of law,
pursues with perseverance an interminable suit. Who
would dare answer for the paym• nt of these items ? Is
it not, on the contrary, certain that, as long as M. Guiaot
shall be Minister, not one of them shall come in ?
France offended, and insulted even when victorious, pays,
and is not paid. Such are the financial results of M.
Guisiot's diplomacy. Our honour and our money are
both compromised in the matter."
There are symptoms yet, however, in favour of the
Minister. The appointment of the Committee on the
Address he carried by large majorities, and he has
also carried another important point—the election of
M. HETIERT, his nominee, as reporter of the Address.
In all probability the Address mill be as favourable
to the Minister as that presented to the Peers on Sa-
turday by Count PoirAms. That is all that M.
GurzoT could require, for it approves, in almost every
respect, his general line of policy. The following is
the draft of the Address to his MAJESTY'S speech;--
" Sire,—We have received with respect and gratitude
the expressions of your Majesty. Witnesses, like your-
self, of the internal prosperity of the State, we return
thanks to Providence which permits our national activity
to multiply on every point of the territory the precious
fruits of peace. We feel pleasure, Sire, in acknowledg
ing with your Majesty that those blessings are flue to
the wisdom of our laws, to their intelligent and faithful
execution, and to the progress of public opinion.
" Our confidence in the superior sagacity of the King
has not been disappointed, when complications deemed
worthy of the serious attention of the country, and of the
solicitude•of your Majesty, manifested themselves at the
close of the last session. At the moment when it became
necessary to repel by force the hostile and repeated in-
cursions which disturbed the course of the pacification of
our African possessions, a clear-sighted policy directed
our arms, and, discerning the real object of the expedi-
tion, proportioned the means to the end. Thanks to the
bravery of our soldiers and of our seamen, thanks to the
skill of their chiefs, the war was but momentary. A
double victory promptly re-estAlished on land and sea
the peace which had been interrupted. After having
given a proof of her power, France might demonstrate
her moderation.

" Sire, Algeria has been the glorious theatre where
three of your sons exhibited a zealous rivalry for the
service of their country. On board our ships, at the head
of our battalions, in the ranks of our warriors, they hare
been seen to obey, to command, to govern, and ever to
give an example of that subordination acquired by com-
mand, and of that enlightened mode of command which
induces a love of obedience.

" Your Majesty assures us that the relations between
France and England have not been affected by discus-
sions which might have compromised them. We con-
gratulate you on it, Sire, well convinced that the Govern-
ment of your Majesty is persevering in its efforts to ar-
range in a wanner conformable to the dignity and to the
interests of France the difficulties which might menace
peace in future. A good accord between the two States
is of importance to the repose of the world. The inter eats
ofcivilization and humanity are engaged in it. The high
degree of prosperity enjoyed by those two nations, who
have equal rights to the esteem of each other, depends
upon it. May a mutual spirit of equity ever preside
over their relations.

" In the visit paid by your Majesty to the Queen of
Great Britain, the reception which you experienced, the
spontaneous manifestations which took place everywhere
on your appearance, evince in an unequivocal manner the
sentiments of the British nation. Your presence at
Windsor, which is a signal testimony of the existence of
an intimate and mutual friendsh p, will not hare been
sterile. It afforded the inhabitants of the two empires a
favourable oportunity of appreciating and understand-
ing each other.

" The continuation of the good understanding which
so fortunately prevails between France and the Foregn
Powers guarantees the duration of that general peace
under the mgis of which the conquests of industry and
of the arts increase every day the wealth and power of
nations.

" The assiduous care of your Majesty to perpetuate
those blessings has placed our country abroad in a situa-
tion becoming its power and greatness. At home, the
development of industry, the free action of our Constitu-
tional institutions, the high state of public credit, a
marked progress in the welfare of all, are tho happy
effects of a wise policy.

" Your Majesty announces to us that the balance is
established between our anuual receipts and expendi-
tures. The realisation of a public wish, so often ex-
pressed, will be a great step towards the improvement
of the general affairs of the State, and a powerful mo-
tive of security.
" We will examine, Sire, with anxious attention the
laws presented to us by your orders. The Bills relative
to ♦arious objects of public utility will be the subject
of our special study. It is the duty of the Chambers to
attend to the application of the salutary rules which
govern the administration of the public revenues and
credit, and to prevent the exhaustion of future resources.
"Sire, the blessings which Heaven bestows on your
Royal Family are felt throughout France as a public
benefit. She sees with joy the number of your children
increase, and thereby add to the consolation which God
reserves for you. Sho applauds that new union which
commits to a princess of your blood the happiness of
one of those princes whom she counts with pride, from
their tenderest years, among her defenders.
" Fourteen years of constant and generous devotion,
and of a firm and loyal co-opersi ion, great works exe-
cuted, painful trials supported in common, have cemented
the intimate alliance of France with her King. That
alliance, contracted under such solemn auspices, con-
firmed by so many acts of a no less solemn nature, by
the adhesion so often repeated of au entire people, will
be continued in ages to come by your sons the heirs of
your virtues, and, like you, devoted to the country ; and,
Frenchmen, after being free and happy under your long
reign, will not cease to bless your glorious memory under
that of your descendants."
