bill is the echo of the fall of Warmw —the answer
of Great Britain to the Hotel de of July.
On the banks of the Vistula the revolution tva3
effected by a military movement—hence it ended
by a battle. In London it endeavoured to ,some
ma.ik of legality, end has perished in a dcci•
shin. The revolution of July is therefore fiend
throughout Europe; the circle, which at first
spread so widely and so rapidly, now closes tightly
on itself. The cause has, then, no life iu itself,
since it can communicate slo animation to its'
eirects. E. rote is anti-revolutionary, nail France,'
true France, shows by cv•ry means in her power
her assent to this princitle, which can alone pro-
rerve civilisation. The Courtier Francais
that the Reform bill was the child of the revolution
of July. After this avowal no reasonable man
can be astuuish..,d at its rejection. The revolution
of July prodkces in Europe the same effect as the
sight of the drunken Helot did on the children of
Sp irta.

L'Av, nir says—Lord Grey will probably resign;
and his successors, floating between the necessity
of appeasing the people, and the impossibility of
bending the Peers, will probably seek in war that
repose which they cannot find in peace—a course
which is the more probable, inasmuch as, on the
zone hand, the French Ministry might make con-
cessions to a Whig administration, which would
excite the indignation of the country if made to
Tories—and, on the other, a Tory administration
could not, even in the case of a Dutch invasion,
consent to the French troops entering Belgium.
Le Constitutionnel says—The rejection of the
Reform Bill is an act of passion. The House of
Lords have not even condescended to submit to the
usual parliamentary form of referring it to a com-
mittee, but have disposed of it by a sort of previous
question. The House of Commons will feel this in-
sult deeply, and the country still more so. The
Tory aristocracy has declared war against public
opinion. The ultimate consequences of this act of
extreme rashness may be immense. If the ministry
possess as much energy as the opposition has shown
audacity, they will immediately prorogue Perlis.
ment, and create a sufficient number of Peers to as-
sure the majority; if not, the Tory party will come
iuto power—the House of Commons cannot
act with such a Ministry, a dissolution must fol-
low, and it is highly improbable that the people
will over return an anti-reformist majority, nor
will they now allow their attention to be diverted
even by the favonrite expedient of a foreign war :
the result must therefore ho some violent crisis,
which the House of Lords might have prevented
by a timely sacrifice of their shameful privileges.
The example of our revolution has not opened their
eyes to the danger of braving a courageous nation
which knows its rights. They have had their
26th of July. Nothing can prove how little party
feeling profits by experience, than the fact, that et
the very moment at which the English peerage is
giving us such an exhibition, there are those among
us who wish to inflict on France an institution
fashioned on the model of that peerage.
La Quotidienne says, that the unexpected
amount of the majority renders a new creation of
peers impossible, since peers are not made ad libi-
tum in England, because, there, peers are some-
thing. It adds that a Tory ministry will, doubt-
less, understand as it (the Quotidienne) does, the
real wants of society, and immediately propose
such modifications in the electoral system as may ,
satisfy the real public opinion without compromis-
ing social order. In conclusion, it remarks, that
the rejection is an event of more importance from
the moral effect which it will have on the political
world, than from the material changes which it is
likely to produce at this moment.
Le Courier Francais also considers that a crea- ,
tion of peers is impossible, and that the Tory party
will come into power. It adds—The aristocracy,
from not choosing to give up any thing. has ex-
' posed itself to lose all. We do not mean to say that
a revolution will take place in England in a week,
but the elements are there, and only await a circum-
stance to develope them. An unpopular ministry,
coming to lay its hands on the heritage of the par-
tisans of reform, will excite discontents against
which it will arm itself with all the ardour of its
political resentments ; a war will then be com-
menced between the government and the country,
and we know how such a war must end. It then
expatiates on the change which the return of the
Wellington party to power will probably make in
the relations between France and England, arguing
that since Lord Grey, even while acknowledging
that the Reform Bill was the child of the French
revolution, dared not show more than a lukewarm
good feeling towards France, there can be little
doubt that his opponents will indulge in undis-
guised hostility, and then all the sacrifices which
France has made to preserve the friendship of
England will have been thrown away. In conclu-
atom it urges the Chamber of Deputies to take
I warning from England, and not be driven into the
evils of an hereditary aristocracy.
La Tribune says, that whatever be the immedi-
ate result of the rejection of the bill the people
of England have only to be true to themselves,
and liberty is saved. If Lord Grey remains Mi-
nister, he will create new peers, and reform will
be carried ; if not, the intelligence of the cation
must and will unite itself with the popilar
masse,, and the English Revolution will be ac-
complished.
Le Globe.—" All the moral and political acti-
vity of England will now be concentrated on the
question of Reform. The British aristocracy has,
with singular light-heartedness, seated itself on a
volcano, and the English constitution is about to
be convulsed even to its overthross by passions
which will shake the very foundations of conti-
nental Europe."
