Although the Address of the French Chamber of
Peers does not go quite so far as some persons had anti-
cipated, there is still a degree of respectful firmness in the
r,ncluding passages, which affords a fair guarantee for
ti e subsequent operations of that body. Indeed nothing
can furnish a more striking proof of the tendency which
f rince has to freedom, than the impossibility which
e ery ministry since the restoration has found to corrupt the
Chamber of Peers, or obtain its sanction to any projects
tinfavourablo to freedom. For ourselves, we are much

uore disappointed at the circumstance of M. ROYER
COLLARD not having taken the Chair on the
ti rst day after his nomination, than at the apparent
want of energy in some parts of the address of the Peers.
Everything like hesitation or embarrassment ought to be
Avoided when public liberty is at stake. We shall not,
lwever, draw any sinister omens from this incident.
'1 he new President might have wished to give M. DE PO-.
I.IGN Ac another day to reflect on his situation and the
wishes of France. Whatever the motive may have been, we
Lave no fear for the ultimate triumph of liberal principles
in that country. It may be thought paradoxical when we
sy that this triumph does not depend on any particular set
of men. Our conviction is, that if those who now represent
the majority were to betray their trust—an impossible
contingency—their places would be supplied without
difficulty, or any other delay than that which a corrupt
minister might throw in the way. With the existing
elements, as they regard the distribution of property,
and the good election law, the triumph of freedom in
France is reduced to a mere question of time. With the
highest admiration for the talents of M. ETIENNE, we
rejoice to perceive, that M. THERATRY Is joined with
him in preparing the address. Both are alike distin-
guished for patriotism and devotion to the public cause,
and they are aware of the vast importance that will be
attached to their labours on this occasion. It is a curious
end interesting fact, that the principal writers in the two
hest Journals of Europe should be Members of the Re-
presentative Chamber, and employed for such a purpose.
I\9:en will Journalism be thus exalted in England ?

Some of our contemporaries are dwelling at great
length, and with evident self complacency, on a pam-
phlet, which they attribute to Lady CANNING. While
wl admire the amiable motives which have induced
hlr Ladyship to come fOrward so laudably in de-
fence of the late lamented Minister's policy, we regret
exceedingly that it should have bees thought neces-
sary to come into collision with the pamphlet which we
have Mete than Once noticed, as being, in onr esti-
mates, by far the best commentary which has as yet
appeared oat the Portuguese joustion: Believing this to
