do not must ere now have begun to prepare for the
coming storm which will follow on a greater run down
of this golden clockwork, which it is dear the Premier's
sagacity cannot keep in due time or working.

The Paris papers continue their discussions on the
late elections, those of the Opposition endeavouring to
show that the Government have no great cause for exul-
tation, while the others seem quite content with the
victory ; but these party contests have little interest here.
The Monikur publishes two reports, which extend to
great length, relative to the affair of Madagascar. M.
DESFOSSES, the commatdant of the naval station of
Bourbon, who sends these reports, states that the arrange-
ments for the attack had been combined with the captain
of the Conway, who was in the same position as himself,
there being the same number of British as French sub-
jects exposed to the tyranny of the Queen of MADA-
GASCAR. It appears, as already stated, that every effort
was made to bring the QUEEN'S agents to reason
before the attack, but that all the representations of the
English and French officers were treated with contempt
and insolence. In concluding his second report, M.
DESFOSSES says:—" I have just exchanged the salutes
of adieu with the English frigate the Conway, at the
moment of separation, as, during their junction, the
officers, sailors, and soldiers of the two nations have not
ceased to testify, in the warmest manner, the high
esteem and cordial sympathy that they entertain for
each other.
Some of the Oppositionjeurnals make severe:comments
on the dispatches, and express no little indignation at the
entente cordiale between the two forces. Lours PHILIPPE
continues to display great activity at Eu. On Thurs-
day, the weather being very fine, his MAJESTY went on
board the Caiman steamer, in the roadstead of Tr6port,
for the purpose of distributing the decorations of the
Legion of Honour, which his MAJESTY has been pleased
to confer on twelve officers, non-commissioned officers,
and seamen of the squadron assembled at Tricort, on the
occasion of his residence at Eu. The KING entered his
carriage at about eleven o'clock, with the Count DE
PARIS, and the Duke? DE NEMOURS and D'AUMALE.
His MAJESTY and their Royal Highnesses were accom-
panied by the Ministers of Marine, Commerce, and Jus-
tice, Generals ATHALIN, D'HOUDETOT, GOURGAUD, and
MARBOT, Colonel DUMAS, and other persons of the
household. At noon the royal flag was flying at
the masthead of the Caiman. His MAJESTY, after
passing through Trdport amidst the acclamations
of the people, embarked in the royal barge,
whilst salutes were being fired from the vessels and
the shore. The KING, who was received with
enthusiasm on board the Caiman, placed him-
self in front of the officers and crew on the deck,
where the officers and seamen of the other vessels who
were to be decorated had also assembled. The Mi-
nister of Marine, after taking the orders of the KING,
called over the names of the new legionnaires, and they
came forward successively to receive the cross of honour
at the hands of his MAJESTY, and to take the oath,
which was read over by the Minister. The ceremony
having terminated, the KING went over the Caiman,
and expressed his approbation at the good order of the
vebsel and crew. He then entered the royal barge, and
returned to land amidst repeated cries of Vive le
,Roi !
His MAJESTY returned to the Chateau of Eu at one.
