THE WEATHER.—SUN OFFICE, JAN. 27.
THERMOMETER, Lowest, 35 ; Highest, 43 ; Noon, 42.
BAROMETER, 29.3.—W1ND, S.W.
NorE.—The figures which follow the words "Lowest" and
-Highest" denote the lowest and highest state of the
'hermometer during the preceding twenty-four hours. All
he other observations are made at noon. Water freezes at
32 ; 55 on Thermometers is marked "Temperate," and on
Barometers "Fair" is generally placed opposite to 30, and
"Rain" at 29 ; but there is no certainty of dry weather
when the mercury falls below 30.

COURTENAY, and such results, on any similar occasion,
perhaps never were brought to light. Straightforward
conduct, honesty of purpose, charity which doth not
behave itself unseemly, strict adherence to truth, and
fearlessness in a good cause, were expected of these
holy men, but woful was the failure. It would be
difficult to find, among the lowest of the human
race, among the miserable, ignorant, and profligate'
that appear before our police-courts, such instances
of mean deception, contemptible shuffling, and vain
attempts to conceal the truth, as were.manijated at a
meeting of the inhabitants of Exeter on Thursday.
The Rev. F. COURTENAY, it appears, was allowed to
appear, in order, as was understood, to make a state-
ment which would carry into effect the object of the
requisitionists, and settle the differences between him
and his flock. The important disclosure amounted to
this—" You have met," said he, " to take into con-
sideration what steps shall be taken to gut an end to
the disturbances to which our parish has been sub-
jected for the last two Sundays. These disturbances
have resulted from a continued use of the surplice in
preaching. I am in a position to tell you that I have
authority to discontinue the use of the surplice." This
announcement was not received very graciously. Loud
cries of " Oh !" and " Too late," resounded through the
assembly, and the speaker, evidently ashamed of
his conduct, and afraid, perhaps, of some unwelcome
interrogatories, was anxious to retire, " for," said he,
" I think that there can be no reason why I should
stay among you longer." The Protestants assem-
bled, however, thought otherwise, for the use or
disuse of the surplice was only a very secondary
object of the meeting. The main point was the cha-
racter—and, consequently, the usefulness or the
worthlessness of their pastor, and Mr. COURTENAY
was, therefore, requested to wait, in justice to him-
self, that he might explain or deny certain reports
prevalent in the parish. The following are the reports,
as set forth by one of the speakers with great mode-
ration and good feeling. First, Mr. COURTENAY was
reported to have stated, in reference to a requisition,
signed by many respectable parishioners, that "there
was only one name he regretted to see there ; for the
rest he did not care the snap of his finger." Secondly,
he was reported to have said that " he would sooner
suffer his right arm to be cut off than surrender
the course he had pursued." Thirdly, the Rev.
Gentleman, on seeing a notice posted at the church-
gates, calling one of their meetings, " had torn it
down in a petulant way, and stamped it under
his feet." And, lastly, he had said of those who had
taken part at these meetings, that " they were only
rifraff, and the sooner the Church was rid of them
the better." These are serious charges against
a minister of peace, but the manner in which they
were met only added to the original offences, and
convinced the parishioners, as shown by one of their
resolutions, that " he ought to withdraw himself from
a ministry which he could no longer usefully or pro-
fitably fulfil." We give the answers in his own
words, with the winding up of this disgraceful

THE SL IN, LONDON, MONDAY MENING, JANUARY 27, 1845

declared that with 100,000 men judiciously employed
the colonization of Algeria would proceed more
rapidly and satisfactorily.
M. ST. MARC GIRARDIN, lately one of the editors
of the Journal des Debats, followed the Marshal, and
spoke strongly in favour of the amendment. The
speeches made by BUGEAUD and GIRARDIN are given
at length in another part of the paper. The amend-
ment was rejected without a division. The result
of the division on the PRITCHARD indemnity
excited some interest. A strong party it was said
would oppose any vote whatever, and if Ministers had
a majority, it would be very small. The defeat of
M. GUIZOT on this point is extremely improbable, as
it would place the aspirants to office in rather an
awkard predicament. The case is thus placed in its
true light by the Ministerial Globe :—" There is re-
lative to the eventual indemnity of Mr. PRITCHARD
a little piece of very simple reasoning, which we re-
commend to all who are blinded by the desire of
being Ministers. The plesent Cabinet is pledged to
the Cabinet of London to give Mr. PRITCHARD an
equitable indemnity, not for his expulsion from Ota-
heite, but for the uselessly severe treatment which he
underwent, and which M. BRUAT himself was the
first to blame. The present Cabinet is therefore
pledged to an indemnity, but France is not. A new
Cabinet, free from all engagement in this respect,
would be at liberty to refuse the indemnity at its risk
and,peril. The persons who, in order to become Minis-
ters, blame the indemnity of Mr. PRITCHARD, under-
take to refuse it in case they should replace the present
Cabinet; for it would not be possible for them, unless
they became models of roguery, and an object of
public contempt, to find honourable for themselves
what they find blameable in the others. Therefore,
to condemn the indemnity of Mr. PRITCHARD to-day
is to promise to refuse it to-morrow. But is there a
Cabinet bold, rash, and foolish enough to commence
by a rupture with England, and to sacrifice for three-
fourths of a score of thousand francs, perhaps the
prosperity of France and the peace of the world ?
We do not hesitate to say no ! This question, there-
fore, of the indemnity of Mr. PRITCHARD is not by
any means serious, since it could not be got rid of
but by a rupture with England, and every one feels
that such a question is not worth such an extremity?'
The Opposition journals, in commenting on the
defeat of their party, are much divided in opinion.
The Constitutionnel says nothing is decided by the
vote. It is only an adjournment, not a victory. The
writer adds :—" It is said, indeed, that some of the
majority thought the amendment was too general, and
conceived that, by adopting it, they would be con-
demning some of their former votes, and, therefore, re-
served their disapprobation and their black balls for
special amendments, more directly aimed at the faults
committed. The game is not won by the Cabinet;
the balloting urn is like the urn of destiny; there are
seen to come out of it all the alternations of fortune—
unexpected defeat, unhoped for success, and sudden
returns. Be it so. We, in fact, shall not think that
the Chamber has given its final fiat in this discussion
untill we see the Address voted."
The Courrier Francais cannot see any grounds for
consolation, and thus laments the result :
" It is all over ; we believe in the eternity of the Mi-
nistry of October 29. It had against it three weighty
questions—Morocco, Otaheite, and the right of search,
in which the amendment stated that it bad failed in
forethought and firmnefs. Never had so heavy an accu-
mulation of faults and shame weighed on a Cabinet, never
had the heart of a nation reproved more energetically an
ensemble of Ministerial acts. In fine, men considered in
the two Chambers as the highest from their position,
experience, and talent, have spoken against it, whereas
its defence has been marked by a feebleness to surprise
even its adversaries. And it triumphs ! Each fault
strengthens, and each shame confirms it ; the pri-
vilege of impunity belongs to it ; let it then
be invulnerable, immortal, immoveable, since so
the Chamber wills. For us, it suffices that it be
well understood that the majority of the national repre-
sentation only serves to cover with a Bill of indemnity a
deplorable system of government which the country con-
demns ' • that the Ministry at present has no longer any
need of the power of eloquence to colour the disgrace of
its policy; without rhetorical artifices, without display
of eloquence, without any exaggerated expenditure of
sophism, flat, dry, and naked, the policy of October 29 is
welcomed amongst the majority."
The Quotidienne exclaims :
" Hurrah for England ! M. Guizot triumphs ! The
ballot has shown the presence of 422 Members, of whom
197 only consented to recognise that the policy of the
systeme has not been prevoyante, has not been fertne. For,
alas! it is in these terms that the Opposition has been
confined by the intrigue; consequently, the Ministerial
majority is 28. Let us confess that there is in this vote
2312111111 Lg, no
doubt, but-at the same time incontestable. It has been
told from every point of the dynastic horizon that the
English alliance is necessary; that for the young esta-
blishment there is no other ; that Austria is indifferent,
Prussia disdainful, Russia hostile ; that no Ministry can
or dare reject the entente cordiale."
The National attributes
_the result to the timidity
of M. SALVANDY, and. some other friends of M.
DUFAURE, and looks forward to better days :
"M. Guizot has been the conqueror ; 422 Members
have taken part in the ballot. Only 212 votes were re-
quired to save the Cabinet—it had 225, thirtern more
than the absolute majority. The Opposition only got to-
gether 197 votes, so that it had a relative inferiority of
28. We know well that this is not enormous, that fifteen
individuals in changing position could overturn the Mi-
nistry. We know that at the last moment some Depu-
ties, further in the intrigue than others, withdrew with-
out voting. We know that MM. de Salvandy, Lepelle-
tier d'Aulnay, Lasnier, and some other friends of M.
Dufaure, refused to apply to the conduct of the Ministry
a general and abSolute blame ! Say what you please,
arrange figures, seek for consolations, the !fact is there—
M. Guizot has triumphed But now that this paltry
duel of personal pretensions is decided, let generous
voices at last arise to say the whole truth to the country;
let the discussion assume proportions worthy of the af-
fairs of a great people. Leave the majority in their
litter, speak to France and for France as one speaks of
what is durable, as that which must increase, in spite of
this unwholesome policy, to which the unthinking cling,
without seeing that each day pushes it closer to its tomb."
" Several manifestations have been made at Geneva
against the Jesuits. Popular meetings have been held.
A petition, invested with 2,500 signatures, has been
addressed to the Grand Council, and referred to the
Council of State. The speeches delivered by the Presi-
dent of the Grand Council and by the First Syndic at
the ceremony of Dec. 31 leave no doubt of the opposition
of the two first bodies of the State to the introduction of
the Society of Jesus into the canton of Lucerne, and we
have every reason to be persuaded that when the moment
shall have come Geneva will not be last to adopt, and
even to solicit, the necessary decrees for keeping this
scourge at a distance from Switzerland."

A letter from Vienna, January 17, in the Journal
de Frankfort, says:—

" To-day the Archduke Albert was formally invested
with the command of the troops of Upper and Lower
Austria. Field-Marshal Baron de Wimpfen, the prede-
cessor of the Archduke Albert in the superior command
of Upper and Lower Austria, presented the general and
superior officers to his Royal Highness, who received
them most graciously."
