own connexion. Now air, you are ready to ask to 1
I
what denomination do belong. lam in connexion
with the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists. I was in-
duced to write to you by reading in your paper
(Jan. 17,) the lamented account of the death of the
Rev. John Rees, He was ordained for the ministry 1
in our connexion, the Calvanistic Methodists in
Wales ; therefore I do not wonder that he never
connected himself with the three denominations.'
Our connexion never does that, and we highly dis-
approve of the union of those who wish to call
themselves orthodox with the Socinians in that
board. We detest their political views and conduct
in the present age, therefore we do not like to be
identified with them. • We are grieved on account
of their conduct in political things. We love quiet-
ness and peace, and not to be busy bodies in other
men's matters.' We appreciate the liberty we en-
joy to preach and hear the Gospel, and to worship
God according to our consciences, and wish to
lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and
honesty.' We believe that God did not ordain us
to rule the nation, but to submit, and to obey our
king and rulers; and we do not think it proper for
us to dictate to our king nor to the senate ; but we
feel it our duty constantly to pray that God may
direct and lead them in all their consultations, and
to do according to His will in everything for the
glory of His name, the protection of His Church,
and the welfare of the nation. May God dispose
the minds of our rulers to acknowledge Him in all
their proceedings, to walk by His rules which are
in His holy word, and to aim to glorify Him in all
things !
" Dear Sir, I do not think these lines worthy of
a place in your valuable paper, only I was anxious
to inform you what are the sentiments of our con-
nexion in these days of 'rebuke and blasphemy,'
when too many Christians in profession are politi-
cally mad. I hope that your labours may be blessed
by God to oppose the torrents of infidelity, immo-
rality, and the theological and political errors of the
present dangerous age.
" Yours, respectfully,
" JOHN ELIAS.

FRANCE.

One of the most animated, if not angriest, debates
which has occurred since the new order of things, took
place in the Corps Legislatif on Tuesday on the subject
of the budget, Prince Napoleon being present in one of
the reserved tribunes. The discussion was opened by M.
de Kerdrel, who pressed for the reduction of the army,
with various retrospective allusions to a bygone state of
matters, and a reference to the opinions formerly ex-
pressed on the subject by the Prince President himself.
He declared that the deputies ought to have access to the
ministerial offices now denied to them, and complained
that they were obliged to discuss with the Council of
State, in his opinion incompetent to entertain them, the
innumerable questions arising out of the budget ; and
contrasting the present position of the legislative body
with what it had been formerly, commented with much
boldness and energy on the powerless and otherwise
unfavourable relation in which they stood to the
State, maintaining that discussion was now useless,
as the Council of State were now the virtual dis-

pensers of
.the public funds, the legislative body having

_
ht to control the finances of the State. "-Gentle-
men," said M. Kerdrel, in conclusion, " I delighted in
parliamentary struggles ; I desired them sometimes, but
it was against anarchy and democracy, and never against
the Government. But when the Government goes astray,
it is my duty and right to give it warning. The repre-
sentative Government should control the finances of the
State, but we cannot abdicate our right, without com-
promising at the same time our dignity."—A discussion
of some warmth ensued. It was intimated by M. Billault
that the President of the Repnhlic deemed the rejection of
certain articles of the budget as unconstitutional, but
after some debate M. Billault acknowledged that the
Constitution empowered the corps legislatif to adopt or
reject the projects of law submitted to its deliberation.
The general discussion was then closed, and the Assem-
bly adjourned amidst the greatest agitation.
At the meeting of the Corps de Legislatif on Wednes-
day, M. Billault read the first article of the budget, fixing
the total expenditures at 1,407,217,014 f., namely,-
981,853,546 f. for the different administrations, and
425,363,468 f. for the cost of collection, &c. After more
or less discussion, but of a comparatively calm character,
various chapters of the budget were agreed to.
The budget of receipts has been published, and it is a
highly important document, for it shows, on grounds
which appear to be irrefragible, that the annual revenue
of France is below the expenditure by no less a sum than
130 millions of francs at the least.
The French Government has announced to Generals
Changarnier, Lamoriciere, Bedeau, and Letl3, that in con-
sequence of their refusal of the oath of allegiance they
will be removed from the active list of the army, but be
allowed their pensions as retired general officers.
A detachment of 218 political offenders, escorted by the
Gendarmerie Mobile, were on Thursday sent from the
fort of Bicetre by railway to Havre. Shortly after they
arrived at the railway station a cellular van, containing
10 females, also condemned to transportation, arrived
from the prison of St. Lazare. On arriving at Havre all
the prisoners were embarked on board the steamer
Magellan, which immediately set sail for Lambessa.

A grand fete is to take place on the 15th of August,
which is to equal, if not surpass, the magnificent rejoicings
of the empire.
In the southern departments, where the rivers have
overflowed their banks, they have left a deposit of sand
on the corn lands and vineyards sufficient to destroy all
chance of a crop for the present year. The waters of the
Saone have risen so much that the correspondence of the
steamers with the railway has been interrupted.
