The following amendment, 'proposed by M . "tie-.
Lefebre, on the fourth paragraph in the Address, la
answer to the Speech from the Throne, was almost unatli"
mously adopted by the French Chamber of Deputies.c;
" We feel confident, likewise, that the Government, /td
giving its concurrence to the suppression of a criur...-
trade, will take measures to preserve our commercial
terests, and the independence of our flag from anY
at-
tempt at violation."
Upon the carrying, of this amendment, the Joirgati
des Debats, Louis Philippe's journal, says:—`° We ex
ad
that the Opposition will cry victory, as if Ministers
ve
received a serious defeat, merely because they has•
chosen to concur in a vote which adds to the addrets.s...,e
paragraph relative to the Convention of 1841• leon,
amendment of M. Lefebre is neither a censure
nor a defeat of, the policy of the Cabinet, but we `not
admit that it was conceived in a spirit which was f
that of unlimited confidence in the disinterestedness est
England, and that the French Government will at!.
wisely to take account of the friendly advice whichl'
has just received." are
The Presse, M. Mole's journal, observes:—" "Le„so

posed by M. Lefebre. It is of a nature to SW* g
England deceived herself if she thought that in obtaining
the right of search for a special case she could arrogele,

The Courier Francais, a moderate anti-Engus" r,beir
is displeased that the majority stopped half-way in dse
censure, instead of boldly rejecting the Treaty, all
tripping up the heels of the Cabinet.
The .National, a Republican paper,. says that, if t,he m
vote may not be regarded as a Ministerial defeat,ie
much as it does not involve the fall of M. Guizot,
it
at the least a rude correction.
The Quotidienne, a Royalist organ, hails the vote wiostb
joy, as showing that the Chamber views the convene of
of 1841 as injurious to the freedom of the trac;g.
