sflie Eatafette from France again brings intelligence, to
•(:;lew our apprehensions, that the waves of revolution have
~ut vet subsided. There is something, we fear, in the situ-
n of the French people, as regards their commerce, the
distribution of their wealth, their national finance, and
too general deficiency of productive employment, which
renthrs them most difficult to govern, without giving way
to that spit it of enterprise, which, whatever be its distant
:csults. promise them the proximate development of their
and its reward of temporary glory. The Govern-
Llent of France, probably from financial causes, as well as
Iron those more ostensibly avowed, of general disincline-
:son to war, are apparently sincerely co-operating with the
,:ther powers, to prevent the recurrence of that evil; but
unfortunately while doing so, it is bringing down affliction
at, those inhabitants of other countries, who have sympa-
tllised most in the signal triumph of the very principles on
ullich its own authority is founded. Who can read of
the tender mercies" to which the few Italian patriots
LOW, through treachery, subjected, without sympathy;
.rul feeling, in some degree, the validity of their reproaches
rainst French Diplomacy, which has tempted them to their
• in? The details from Italy in this day's Paper, as were
'hose of yesterday, are of the most lamentable character.
As no other subject engages public attention, besides the
d,Late on the reform bill, we forbear to-day to obtrude further

observations on general politics; but refer our readers to
our subsequent columns, for ample accounts of the tumults
at PARIS; of the continued successes of the brave POLES;
and of the inglorious triumphs of the Austrians in ITALY.
We hourly expect news of great interest from Poland, but
the rumours of the total overthrow of the Russian Maio
Army, are at least premature.

Yesterday was another important epoch in the modern
History of England. The Reform Bill was to be sent pro

Iforma to the Committee of the House, for the examination

of its details ; but previously, it became necessary for the
authors of the Bill to explain such amendments, as facts

and further information rendered just and necessary.

There was a large meeting of the Lords, and many peti-
tions were presented, accompanied by incidental observa-
tions. Lord HA RLWOOD expressed his disapprobation, and

he was answered at great length by Lord GREY, who, in re-
marking on the threats under which Lord H. said they were
called upon to vote, distinguished between threat and the
sober consideration, of the political bearings of a question.
Lord HAREWOOD also spoke of the licence and abuse of the
press, in its advocacy of the Reform Bill ; to which Lord GREY
replied, that be had no connection with the press, but that

he never remembered a time wben the daily press was con-1
ducted with such great general ability.
Lord LIMERICK then rose and complained of libels,
in which he had been the object of attack, calculated to
bring that House, and its debates, into general contempt.
He particularly mentioned the strictures in the Times on
Saturday, on his opinions relative to Poor Laws in Ireland ;

and moved that the Author should be called to the Bar;
but on suggestion, changed his motion to the Printer.
The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed that it was a breach of
privilege ; but he doubted the expediency of the measure,'
never having found it efficient; and thought much allowance
ought to be made for the great organ of communication,
liberty, and civilization.
Lord ELDON thought the paragraph a scurrilous and
abusive comment; and Lord H A DDINGTON thought the
