FOR:QIGN.

In the French Chamber of Peers on Saturday
afternoon, the Duke de Broglie read the Report of
the Commission of the Peers on the Regency__Bill.
It is a long document, and concludes by recom-
mending unanimously the passing of the-project of
law as voted by the Deputies. •
The Journal des Debats of Saturday has a remark-
able article on our late troubles, the tendency of
which is to feed the war-cry in France,- We do not
say that this was the intention of the writer, but
when he-piits forth an argument that our social evils
are beyond the reach of legislative remedy, and that
England is staggering and must fall from the intoxi-
cation produced by over speculation and production,
the Debats does more to promote the desire of
collision with this country than the rabid attacks of
the Presse and National. _ _ _

The repulse of Captain Smith's one hundred men,
at Port Natal, is welcome food to several of the Paris
papers. One of them has made a singular discovery.
This is nothing less than the existence of deep and
wide-spread conspiracy existing amongst the British
officers in India, both of the Company's service and
of the Line, to separate the Indian empire from Britain,
and constitute themselves its head.
The Frankfort journals assert, that Belgium has
entered into a commercial treaty with the German
League, similar to that just concluded with France,
allowing the silks and wines of Germany to enter at
the same duties.

LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC.
During the eclipse of the sun, on the Bth of last
month, the effects upon animals was remarkable.
One of the friends of M. Arago had placed five
healthy linnets in a cage. During the sudden dark-
ness of the eclipse three of the five died. The oxen
formed into a circle with their horns thrust forward,
as if preparing for the attack of an enemy. At Mont-
pellier, bats and owls left their retreats, and sheep laid
down as for the night, and the horses in the fields
were in a state of terror. In addition to these facts,
it was stated to M. Arago, in the Academy, on the
authority of M. Fraisse, a distinguished naturalist,
that a swarm of ants in full march stopped short at the
m 0 111 ent:of occultation.
