sition, and seemed to use an accusatory, unfriendly time,
towards the Administration, was replied to by Gen. St-
BASTIAN 1, the Minister of Marine, and M. GUISTOT, the
Minister of the Interior; and the latter, in alluding to the
partial disorder at present apparent in some parts of France,
which ho attributed as consequent to the entire change of
public functionaries, made these sound and temperate re-
marks :

—" It is impossible in such a state of things that some disorders should
not break out. Is that a reason for disturbing all the laws at once
which govern us, and putting a multitude of points in question ? Is
that a reason for us to wish to begin society all over again, and go
through its different stages from the first to the last P And is the mo-
ment, when the whole country is agitated, to be chosen for such an ex-
periment ? Either I deceive myself strangely, or the mission of 001`1112.
anent and of the Chamber is at present to calm society, not only in its
deeds, but also in its feelings—for they are at *vent more violent than
deeds. Society exists with a regularity, with a degree of liberty won-
derful to be considered, after the revolution which has just ended.—
Well, in the midst of this general development of all liberty, there have
appeared a few disorders. But the remedy is easy. The authority be.
longs to the Chambers, not only in virtue of its right, but also in cone-
quenee of the manner in which it exercises it. The patriotism, the
good sense, which it has displayed in the difficult circumstances in which
it has been placed, will never be forgotten. It has done all it was
wanted to do, and it has done no more. The Chamber knew when to
act and when to stop. The Chamber has given proof of its patriotism
and reason. It now behoves it to exercise over the country the an.
thority which was given it at the moment of the election." (Rear, hear.")

These sentiments prove that sound and vigilant practical
policy governs the Ministers : and it is pleasing to perceive,
by the plaudits with which the speech of M. Gomor was
received, and the triumphant majority of 229 out of 237
votes, that the voice of the Chambers is on the sane side, and
that their power will be adequate to repress the opposition of
the factions. It likewise shows that the partial re-election
cannot endanger the influence of Ministers in the Chambers.
We consider the security of the present French Govern-
ment the most important intelligence for the peace of the
world, which can be made public. We shall, however,
to-morrow, have to communicate to our readers
a private letter, from a celebrated literary character,
in France, who holds different sentiments from those which
we have been supporting ; and our readers must on this, as
upon all subjects, audi alterem partem.

FRENCH INTELLIGENCE,

RECEIVED THIS DAT.

PARIS, Barr. 18.
Baron Admiral Duperre arrived at Toulon on the 15th
inst. on board the Algiers.—Moaitnir of 181 h.

General Gerard, Minister of War, who as well as M. Du-
pont de l'Eure, Minister of Justice, declined accepting the
25,000 francs, allowed for the expenses of their establish-
ment in their offices, has also refused annual appointments,
amounting to 40,000 francs, granted to him as Marshal of
France.—Le National.

The Minister of War has given orders to Capt. Cassigne,
who was attached to the staff of General Clausel during the
hundred days, to join that officer in Africa with as little 'de-
lay as possible.—Moniteur.
On Wednesday evening the Prince de Talleyrand, and
yesterday General Lafayette, had the honour of audiences
of the King. His Majesty also presided at a Council of
Ministers. Yesterday evening, several of the persons at-
tached to the embassy of the Prince de Talleyrand set out
for London.—Moniteur. General Belliard arrived at Paris
on Tuesday, on his return from Vienna, bringing autograph
letters from the Emperor of Austria, addressed to the King
and Queen of the French.—Moniteur.

On Thursday afternoon the King, accompanied by one of
hie Aids-de-Camp, walked for upwards of an hour in the
garden of the Palais Royale and in the Rue Ricblieu. His
Majesty was dressed in a plain black frock coat, without any
decoration, and although recognized by the concourse of
people who are at all times parading in the gardens of the
Palals Royale, he was not interrupted or annoyed u when
he appeared in the streets on a former occasion—which ap-
peared to give him great satisfaction.

Sept. 17.—The ordonnances for the convocation of the
electoral colleges, which are to fill up the vacancies in the
Chamber, are promulgated. This measure will contribute
more effectually, than the report on the situation of France,
to tranquilize the public mind. There was, in this respect,
a blank in the report, which is now filled up. The dispute
that had arisen upon the prorogation of the Chamber must
by this fact fall to the ground. The Chamber, already
thinned by resignations, would necessarily become more so
during the elections. It has nothing better to do than pro-
nounce its own adjournment until its number is completed.
This appears to us more simple and more expeditious than a
prorogation.—Ccnistitutionnel.
" On perusing the list of the convoked Colleges, we find
that the principal territorial regions wall bays Represen-
tatives in them, as well as the elements which form public
opinion, and the spirit of the present Chamber. The Depu-
ties who have resigned, and those whose election has been
annulled, generally belong to the Royalist party, and the
Deputies who are functionaries to the National party. The
election will show what is in reality the strength of the re-
spective parties submitted to the trial of a free vote; they
will also enable us to judge of the opinion of the country on
the condnct of Ministers, according as the mission of the
functionaries, and especially of the Ministers, shall be con-
tinued or revoked. Finally, they will indicate the modifi-
cations introduced into the spirit of the Colleges, by the in-
troduction of electors of from 25 to 30 years. In a word,
this partial experiment will have useful results : it will assist
us in judging of the moral state of France ; and we shall
know what to think of the terrors of those who already see
anarchy proceeding from the elections, and who would think
France ruined if the Chamber were dissolved.—Journal du
Commerce.

An important fact in the setting of the Chamber of yes-
terday, was the speech of the Minister of the Interior. This
speech did not directly belong to the discussion, but was
brought in by the Minister, who, probably, only waited for
an opportunity to allow him to speak as he did. The speech
appears to us a proclamation of a political system. Ministers
have at length themselves ; the prudent silence, the
neutral attitude which they had hitherto maintained before
the to o sides of the Chamber, have suddenly given way to a
frank profess* of an alliance with the majority. The day
before yesterday, regrets were expressed that, in the report
on the situation of France, no political plan was marked out,
no precise indication of the intention of the Administration.
Ministers have just laid aside their indecision, and chosen
the allies. It is probable that the internal struggle which
the prevailed in the council only ceased on Tuesday, and that
Minister of the Interior, happy in having at last a general
sentiment to proclaim, • took the first opportunity of com-
municating it to the Chambars—Le Globe.
We have it in our power to alErm, that several Depu-
ties have resolved to bring forward a proposition to the]
