Opp iition to the bland region of the Treasury
bench, whose rivers flow with milk and honey,
and whose loaN es and fishes are never known
to fail. Again, many of them, it is well
known, entertain the most decided opinions
possible on the question of the Game-laws,
which they look on as the pride of the British Con-
stitution—the palladium of our liberties; yet, doubt-
less, they will be compelled to consent to-a revision
of these hateful laws—a total abrogation of them we
hardly expect—and vote one way, while their strong
inclination would prompt them to vote another.
These are but a few among the numerous grievances
prepared for the Conservatives, and which they will
have to submit to in the approaching session ; but as
" measures, not men," is our motto, we shall gladly
and even gratefully accept all the good we can get at
their hands; for why should we quarrel with good,
even though it " come out of Nazareth ?"

that is, against the indemnity. The question would be
formally brought before the Chamber on Monday, when
a ballot would be taken, and then the English public
would know whether the main condition on which
Sir ROBERT PEET. and the Earl of ABERDEEN ac-
ceded to the terms of M. GUIZOT was disowned by
the French Chamber. As this is rather a serious
matter, we shall wait for certain intelligence before
adverting to it further. But, besides the Otaheite
affair, M. GuizoT boasted that in many other trans-
actions France had got the better of England. He
did not broadly state the fact in the same worth, but
there can be no doubt as to his meaning, and as little
doubt that England has come off second best.
" When I hear men say," he added, " that cour-
tesy, regard, good proceedings, mutual advan-
tages, and concession are not reciprocal be-
tween the two countries, after what has
passed during four years, and particularly during the
last six months, I think I am dreaming, for I can
hardly conceive that facts should. be so perverted or
badly understood. I could, if I wished, lay before
your eyes the relative situations of France and Eng-
land, and all the facts relating thereto in all the
points of the globe, and you would see that every-
where the advantages and concessions are reciprocal
between the two countries; you would see that
wherever we had any object to carry, our policy, so
far from losing ground, in consequence of our inti-
macy with Great Britain, had rather gained. French
influence in Spain, in Africa, in the East, in
Greece, in Italy, everywhere in short, has increased."
This may be said to conciliate the Chamber, who, by
the bye, will not be conciliated, but-at the same time
it is offensive to England, and certainly not at all
calculated to maintain the `" entente eurdiale." We
have no hesitation in saying that the exhibition in the
Chamber on Saturday was more hostile to Great
Britain than any that has occurred since GuizoT
came into office.

Our correspondent, "A London Merchant," whose
letter will be found in another column, may be con-
sidered by many of our readers as exaggerating—out
of his natural solicitude for the welfare of our com-
merce—the dangers to which, as he endeavours to
show, it is exposed by the unextinguished spirit of
hostility on the part of the French nation to British
grandeur, and its first element—our foreign com-
merce. For ourselves, too, we confess that we are
not much disposed to attach any high degree of im-
portance to the truculent vapouring of the Constitu-
tionnel and other organs of the Anglo-phobia, or
TRIERS' party. At all times eloquent and vivacious,
the French Opposition press is not remarkably ve-
racious. From the attacks which one portion of it
have lately indulged in against the Queen of GREAT
BRITAIN, we may reasonably estimate the value of
its denunciations against the British nation. Still we
are of opinion that the sustained and continuous ex-
hibitions of that feverish and unscrupulous animosity
against us which appear to be so popular among very
considerable sections of French society, go far to

ment, and a jealousy, without even decent pre
texts for its susceptibility. If better counsels have
prevailed over those which such prepossessions would
have adopted—if the two empires have not bees pre-
cipitated into that destructive collision for the event of
which the war party in France continues to clamour
with such reckless insanity—this result has been
owing rather, under PROVIDENCE, to the higlier
moral integrity and political sagacity of a few
powerful Ministers, backed by the pacific dispositions
and abundant good sense of the KING, than to the
statesmanlike wisdom, or the uncompromising honesty
of Frenchmen generally, who have been connected
with the discussion and administration of public
affairs. If the impression of our correspondent be
correct, that the scheme of offensive annoyance most
cherished by the anti-English party in France is
founded on the historical precedent supplied by the
destruction of ancient Carthage, as a necessary victim,
first, to the jealousy, and, secondly, to the safety of
Rome, the " party" on the other side of the water
are labouring under that wildest of delusions, which
consists in committing one's self to deductions derived
from false parallels. Great Britain, with her insular but
extensive and influential position, and territorial im-
portance in the geographical relations of Europe, is
little like enough, Heaven knows, to Carthage,
with its geographical relations to the coast and terri-
tory of Africa, and its power of acting upon the king-
doms of Europe. But modern France infinitely less
resembles ar.cient Rome, we should apprehend, in
any of the elements of that prestige of unchastised
military usurpation, and that unforfeited " spoil of
empires," which enabled the Supreme Mistress of the
civilised world to decree and to execute the iniquitous
sentence of destruction—absolute political erasure—
against her more opulent, but weaker rival. This
preposterous comparison of France with old Rome,
and of Great Britain with the Republic of Carthage,
provoked many a smile when hazarded even by NAPO-
LEON, whose historical information and powers of
generalising what facts it had accumulated, were by
no means on a par with the extent of his military
genius, the grandeur of his ambition, or the pro-
foundness of his knowledge of mankind. But, look-
ing to the downfal and hopeless ruin of the vast
fabric he had built up, and in the contemplation of
which he might be well excused for growing giddy,
and being betrayed into occasional extravagances of
boasting—we listen with less decorous merriment
to one of his persifflages in the mouths of any French-
men in 1845.
"Fas est et al, hoste doceri" is, however, a sound
canon of political wisdom. In our application of it'
we should not he content with having learned the
fact, assumed by " A London Merchant," of the inces-
sant energy of this jealous hatred of England; but
we should imitate the example of French prompti-
tude and animation, in repairing, extending, and con-
solidating all the arms and forces of our material
strength, whenever external causes indicate the ne-
cessity for such preparation. We have so lately
urged this topic on the attention of the public, and
more particularly of the Executive Government, in
reference to the administration of all naval affairs,
and the incessant supervision of our navy and its esta-
blishments, that we will not now again press it.
Besides, we have good ground for believing that this
precautionary necessity has long been perceived and
acknowledged, and is now acted upon, in the highes
and most influential official quarters.

We have accounts from Madrid to the 20th inst.
On that day the Reform Bill passed the Senate by a
vast majority-74 to 12. The Clergy Endowment
Bill also passed the Deputies, so that the business of
the session is drawing rapidly to a close. Unfavour-
able reports are again prevalent of the state of the
QUEEN'S health ; and it is even stated by the Cas-
tellano, that she has been recommended by her phy-
sicians to try sea-bathing. It is also said, that she
will leave Madrid in the course of a month, for a
watering-place in the south of Spain, and assist on
her way at the ceremonies of the Holy Week, in
Seville.

The discussion which took place in the French
Chamber of Deputies on the indemnity to Mr.
PRITCHARD, and the result, are extremely unsatisfac-
tory. Even according to M. GUIZOT'S statement,
Mr. PRITCHARD had not been justly dealt with. He
had been accused of serious offences by the French
authorities at Otaheite ; no proofs were furnished
that he had been guilty of these offences, yet he was
on vague charges ignominiously imprisoned, and ex-
pelled from the island. " When he was thus treated,"
said M. GITIZOT, " he demanded that an inquiry be
instituted into the facts with which he was charged;
he asked to be tried, and repeated that request after
his return to England. He maintained, wrongfully,
I believe, that he was a stranger to the explosion of
the civil war and to the revolt; he contends that it
would hare been impossible to convict him, had he
been tried, for want of proof. Our agents at Otaheite
did mot deem it expedient to adopt such a course.
I approve their conduct. I regard th?ir convic-
tion respecting the intrigues of Mr. PRITCHARD
and the danger of his presence as well
founded ; the trial would have been difficult and
dangerous, and perhaps productive of no result."
This is a strange admission. The Prime Minister of
France believes the charges against the Englishman
to be well founded, yet is opposed to inquiry, to
matters of fact, to a fair trial, because the trial might
have been productive of no result. If we are to be-
lieve M. BRUAT, his crimes were as clear as the noon-
day sun ; he had been manifestly guilty of insti-
gating the natives to murder Frenchmen and en-
danger the whole of the forces in the island; he must
therefore be punished as a spy, and an agent of re-
bellion. It really appears that M. GUIZOT had no
proofs of his guilt, else why fear that a trial would
be difficult and dangerous, and, perhaps, productive
of no results. Here Is a man punished without trial,
yet the paltry indemnity of 1,0001. is grudged by
the French Chamber, or perhaps refused, for no vote
on the question has been taken, nor can we yet tell
what will be the result of a division. From all accounts
the majority of the Climber was for the amendment--

THE SLN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 28, 1845

Mr. WYLDE, for the prosecution, stated that he was
instructed by the prosecutors to recommend the prisoner
to mercy, as he had previously borne a good character.
Mr. BALLANTINE said Dr. Todd had kindly con.sent,d
to plead in favour of tic prisoner, and there wei e also
several gentlemen of eminence in the medical proftssion
who would al%o speak as to his character.
The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE said that, as the pro-
secutors were inclined to deal so mercifully with the pri-
soner, and as the loss of his character must be a most
grievous punishment to him as long as he lived, the
Court would be as lenient as possible. The sentence
was, that he be imprisoned, and kept to hard labour in
the house of Correction for one month.
The Court was crowded with medical students, and
other gentlemen connected with the profession, who
seemed to take much interest in the result of the trial.
The prisoner upon hearing the sentence bowed re-
spectfully to the Court, and turning to the several pro.
secutors, who sat behind the counsels' box, thanked
them for their recommendation to mercy with much
apparent emotion.
An ill-looking fellow, named Thomas 16 ape, was in-
dicted for stealing a watch, value Si., the property of
Joseph Barrett, from his person.
It appeared that the prosecutor, who was a barber and
hair-dresser in Great Wyld-street, Drury-lane, bad been
out on the " spree" in Broad-street, St. Giles. when lie
met the prisoner and three other persons, whom he took
to " Dutch Sam's," in Brydges-street, Covent-garden,
to treat them to some drink. Here a row was got up,
the consequence of which was that the prosecutor found
himself minus his watch and chain, when he gave the
prisoner into custody.
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver-
dict of Guilty.
It having intimated to the Court that the prisoner had
been previously sentenced to seven years' transportation,
he stated, in reply to the Learned Assistant-Judge, that
in that case he had got a free pardon, after serving
four months.
The COURT suspended sentence, in order that inquiries
might be made with respect to the previous conviction.

The accounts received this mornisig from Lisbon are
certainly considered to he of a sari: factory character.
The Minister of Finance had laid before the Chamber
of Deputies his budget for the year ending June, 1846,
and it appears that if the estimates of income and ex-
penditure be well founded, that there will be a surplus in
favour of the State of very nearly 40,000 nailreis. This
unquestionably is the first time, for years past, that such
a favourable expose of the resources of Portugal has
shown such a favourable indication. There appears to
be a general desire, on the part of the Portuguese, to
aid the Government, as far as possible, in improving
the resources of the country, and tranquillity having
existed for some time past, the good fruits of such a
state of things is in progress of almost daily deve-
lopment. The Ministry appears to have exer-
cised a sound discretion in the expenditure of
the Board of Public Credit. But the secret has
at length been let out, that the interest upon
the Home Debt is considerably larger than upon the
Foreign Debt. The figures stand thus for the former-
-1,476,695 ; and for the latter-1,392,246 milreis. It
would be much to the advantage of the credit of Portugal
were something 1 ke a definite account rendered of the
real amount of the Home Debt, as, by such means,
more confidence might be placed in the Government.
As far as respects the Foreign Loans, the amounts
raised are known with accuracy.
We have further accounts from the United States ;
but although there had been further meetings of the
different States' Legislatures, we do not find that, with the
exception of Pennsylvania, there will be any amount set
apart for the payment of arrears of dividends upon
the loans contracted in this country or elsewhere.
Still, if the private advices are to be credited, there
is a slight disposition shown to advance a step in
the right direction, and although in most instances direct
taxation on land, &c., has been most emphatically
eschewed, there are symptoms that in order that the
stigma of repudiation should be removed, a revenue from
such sources as have just been mentioned will be sub-
mitted to.
The accounts from the Cape of Good Hope and from
Graham's Town are late in point of date. It is very
satisfactory to find that the frontier was in a quiet
state, the Kaffres having refrained from depredations
—thanks, however, to the measures taken by the Go-
vernor in strengthening the military posta.on the line of
demarcation. The natives are represented as being
more industrious, and desirous of cementing a lasting
friendship with the colonists. The cultivation of the
lands of the colony was rapidly on the increase, aad the
breeding of sheep also.
In the Public Securities there has not been any very
large operations reported this morning. As the settle-
ments in the Foreign Stock; and in Shares are near at
hand, there is a trifling increase in the demand for capi-
tal. The Three per Cent. Consols have been sold at a
fraction under par, and Consols for the Account at
tooi and at 100. Bank Stock keeps on the advance,
and is now at 2141 ; India Stock is at 2851 ; and the
premium on Exchequer-bills at 655. 665.
Not much has been done in the Foreign Stocks to-day.
New Brazilians have been at 86; the Mexicans at 341 i;
Portuguese Converted at 591; the Five per Cent. Spanish
at 28; the Three per Cents. at 40, and at 39k; and the
Dutch Four per Cents. at 98i _a.
The Share Market has been scarcely so active to day
as for the last few days. The fluctuations are officially
given in the list.

MANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)
CHARGE OF PUBLISHING MALIGNANT LIBELS.— WM.
Forbes, jun., of New Broad-street, ship-broker and ship-
agent, was summoned before the Lord Mayor to answer
to the charge of having written three letters with the in-
tention of destroying the credit and character of the re-
spectable house of Rickard, Little, and Co. (one of
whom is a Director of the Bank of England), of Bishops-
gate-street, East India merchants, and particularly of
Mr. Rate, one of the partners of the establishment.
Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the prosecution,
stated the case, and designated it as one of those pieces
of villany which were scarcely to be paralleled by any
instance of modern crime. Ile then read three letters,
which he said he could distinctly prove had been written
by the defendant, who had done some business for
the firm of Rickard, Little, and Co. The one was addressed
to a firm in Calcutta, with whom the prosecutors tran-
sacted business. It represented that the prosecutors
were altogether insolvent, and strongly advised
those to whom it was addressed to shun any trans-
actions with such an establishment ; and it pur-
ported to be written by J. Cust, per procuration of
Messrs. Cook and Truman. The second was addressed
to the father of a lady to whom Mr. Rate was paying his
addresses, and the third to the mother, both describing
not only the house insolvent, but Mr. Rate as a person
guilty of felony-.
Mr. Clarkson called two witnesses, Mr. Rate himself,
and Mr. Little, nho swore they believed the letters had
been written by the defendant.
Mr. Chambers, for the defence, altogether denied that
his client had anything to do with such horrible libels ;
but the Lord Mayor held the defendant to bail in two
sureties of 1001. each to appear to answer the charge.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
An old woman, who keeps an apple•stall opposite
Drury-lane Theatre, was charged by a man in the dress
of a mechanic with attempting to pass base coin.
The prosecutor stated that he was purchasing some
apples of the prisoner on Saturday night, when he gave
her a sixpenny piece, and asked her for change. She
went to get change, and on her return she said that the
money was bad, and produced a sixpence, which was not

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
A ferocious looking woman, named Mary Shee, was
charged with cutting and wounding Mary Donovan.
The prosecutrix, whose head was bound up, deposed
that on the previous night she went to see her sister,
who lodged in the same house with the prisoner, in
Little Ormonde-yard. The prisoner, with whom she
had an old grudge, planted herself at the door, and re-
fused to allow her to enter; the woman, however, per-
sisted, and declared that nobody should prevent her from
seeing her sister; she was going in, when the prisoner
sewing a poker struck her twice on the head with it, in-
flicting two deep wounds under the left eye. A police-
man came and the pthoner was secured. The woman
was taken to a surgeon, bleeding profusely.

GALLANT ACT OF A LIEUTENANT OF lIER MA-
JESTY'S SHIP SUPERB IN HAMOAZE.—On Tuesday 11101'1.-
ing last, a private of the Royal Marines, belonging to
the above ship, accidentally tell overboard. A strong
ebb-tide was running at the time, and the poor fellow,
being unable to swim, must soon have been drowned, but
for the prompt and gallant act of bravery displayed by
Lieut. Stewart in jumping overboard, and keeping the
man from sinking, until, with the aid of ropes, he was
got out in a most exhausted state, and taken on board
the Bellona hulk, where the usual means for restoring
drowned persons were quickly resorted to by Dr. Coulter,
of the Superb. and happily proved efficacious in restoring
a nima t ion.—Plyinoudk Times.
We understand the Board of Admiralty have de•
termined on withholding their assent to the proposed
viaduct over the Penryn river, as A part of the scheme
of the Plymouth and Falmouth Railway.—Talmouth
