powers of the treaty, but as they are more fully
stated in the report of the discussion in the
Chamber, it is unnecessary to give them here.

The Presse, although it is, generally speaking,
friendly to the present Ministry, had expressed
its disapprobation of the new treaty for the sup-
pression of the Slave-trade, on the ground of
its recognising the right of maritime search,
which this journal supposed to have been stipu-
lated for by the English Government, in order
to confirm and perpetuate its maritime prepon-
derance, The Presse, however, professes to be
tranquillized by the explanations which have
been given on the subject. It says

Although we retain our opinion as to the principle,
and could have desired that France should not, in 1831
or 1833, have made a concession which had been so long
refused, we must declare in good faith that, after having
attentively listened to the different speakers, we regard
the nature of the concession as changed by the clauses of
the late treaty as they are stated by the Minister for
Foreign Affairs.

The Constitutionnel gives an analysis of the
debate, in the course of which it repeats its cen-
sure of the treaty. This journal describes the
speech of M. TRIERS as one of great power, and
declares that " the feeble reply of M. GutzoTilid
not destroy one of his arguments." The Cham-
ber, adds the Constitutionnel, " was evidently
under the impression of a sense of a great duty to
the country, and the majority appearing doubt-
ful, an adjournment to Monday was loudly called
for from the Ministerial benches." This state-
ment does not exactly coincide with what passed
in the Chamber. M. GUIZOT having replied to
M. THIERS, and M. BERRYER having signified
his intention of speaking, there was a call for an
adjournment to Monday. The Debats states that
the first call for adjournment was from the Left,
and that there came immediately from the Mi-
nisterial benches a call for a division at once.
This is a very different statement from that of
the Constitutionnel. The Courrier Francais, al-
though as violent as ever in its opposition to the
exercise of the right of search, and declaring
that it is not convinced by anything that M.
GUIZOT has said, admits that his speech was one.
of great ability. Ot the other Opposition jour-
nals, we may briefly observe that they repeat
the expressions of disapprobation which they
used when the treaty was first announced. The
Globe, although on most other other subjects a
supporter of the Ministry, abuses it harshly
enough on this, for the Globe is the organ of the
West India interests, and violently opposes the
attempt of what it ironically calls "pious Eng-
land," to put an end to the slavery of a portion
of the human race.

The Marseilles Papers state that criminal proceedings
have been commenced against General Levasseur, and all
the parties concerned in the late fatal duel with Com-
mandant Arrighi, in that place.
The Reparateur of Lyons states that the notary, whose
absconding has already been mentioned by us, is M. Ro-
ier. He is said to have left his affairs in great disorder,
with a large defalcation.
The Minister of the Interior has just granted an
annual pension of 1,500 f. to the widow of the late M.
Alexandre Duval, the author.
The Minister of War has just decided that all sol-
diers whose time of service will expire at the end of this
year, and who are now with their families on furlough,
together with all the men of the class of 1835, not now
incorporated and remaining with their families for a
legal cause, shall remain at home until their time of li-
beration from service expires. Those who have re-en-
gaged themselves are, of course, excepted from this re-
gulation.

- PARIS, JAN. 23.—The King has received from his Ma-
jesty the Emperor of Austria the answer to the letters
recalling the Count de St. Aulaire.
His Majesty has likewise received from the Diet of
the German Confederation the answer to the letters re-
calling the Baron Deffaudis.
These two letters were delivered to the Minister for
Foreign Affairs, by M. de Thom, Charge d'Affaires of
his Imperial Majesty.—Le Afoniteur.
La Presse says that General Butenieff has just hired
a hotel in the suburb of St. Honore, which he has fur-
nished with great magnificence.
M. Dupoty is succeeded in the editorship of the
Journal du Peuple by M. Felix Avril. The laws rela-
tive to the Press are made in such a manner that it has
been necessary to pay into the Treasury another sum of
100,000 francs as security. The preceding security of
100,000 francs will not be returned till three months
afterwards. And it is while the laws against the editors
of journals are so severe, and when such securities are
required from them that it is wished to make the prin-
ters responsible.
Quenisset, Colombier, and Brazier leave Paris to-day
(the 23d) or to-morrow. Though condemned to hard
labour for life, we are assured that Colombier is to be
taken to Mont St. Michel, with Quenisset. Bourcheron
goes to Derelens.
