PROM TOR JOURNAL DRS DESAiI.

The interim state of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs
has for a considerable time put been the source of just
impatience. On taking an enlightened view of the situ-
,Ation of Europe, and in particular on reflecting that the
greatest of present interests are on the side of foreign
policy, it was impossible not to regret a provisional'ai.
rangement, which placed in the hands of a temporary
Minister the department which has the most important
business to transact, and the most serious responsibility
to sustain. The Duke de Laval has, however. been
called upon to succeed M. de la Ferronays. After long
uncertainties among all the names which public rumour
enumerated every day, and which were without doubt
often repeated around the green-table of the Council of
Ministers, the name of M. de Laval has been chosen.

Great was the surprise of the public, greater still we
think will be that of our Ambassador, when this news
will arriwe to surprise him at Vienna, amidst the pacific
functions which he there executes with honour and
ability.

The Duke de Laval is a man of great moderation,
and of extreme modesty. He has not mixed, as has been
indiscreetly averred, with the intrigues of any congre-
gation or of any coterie. He knows, better than is ge-i
tunny supposed. the political state of our country. and
the man who acts the chief part. It is on that•account
we think he will find the burden too heavy, in times so
difficult, and under a Ministry already old.
The position of the Ministry bas become very etnbar-
raining. The alternate hostility of the two sides of the
Chamber—the unfavourable appearance of a Session
abruptly cut off, prolonging its existence by small laws
of detail, without that great compensation of a commu-
nal law, which would have lightened its burdens, and
made the nation pay the taxes with good humour, in
addition to the progressive complication in the political
relations of foreign Powers, and the appr-ach of events
vb•ch may derange the European equilibrium—such
are the difficulties of the moment—such is a crisis in
which more than courage is necessary. more than ho-
nourable seal is necesiai y, to accept a responsible of-
ace in the government of French affairs.

Will not these considerations strike the Duke de
Leval? and if you ad,i to these powerful reasons for
declining office, or at least for hesitating. the scruples
of a modesty which perhaps does not do justice to itself,
and the fear of not being powerful enough for such a
responsibility—every thing gives us reason to presume
that the Duke de Laval will not exchange his ambassa-
dorial title at a great Court for the uncertain place of
Minister in a Cabinet which cannot do all that it wishes,
still more in one which does not wish all the good it
can perform.
If, however, our presumptions are falsified--if the
Duke de Laval accept, he cannot be here before the
15th May. and thus is our provisional condition pro-
longed for some weeks.
If M. de Laval refuse. the embarrassments will re.
commence. Candidates will be again brought forward
and withdrawn ; names ahnounced and contradicted ;
and this portfolio, to which so many have been called,
and for which so few have been chosen, will return to
N. de Portalis. who sinks under the weight of two litho.
doss offices. Thus the temporary state will continue—
always the seaSporary I
This state at things is disquieting. In circumstances
which must have a decisive influence on the honour and
interests of the country—.when the French Ministry.
whether acting or observing. ought to be the first in
Europeoben the great Powers are preparing and
gathering up their strength—when Russia is silently or.
ganizingimmense armies—when England, in relieving
herself from the oppressive weight of religious slavery
in Ireland, boldly casts off that internal fetter to give all
her.attention to ex:ernal events, and be prepared for
whatever may occur—how is it possible to look without
anxiety at our foreign relations, destitute of a Minister
to represent and personify our future policy?
We do not set up for prophets of misfortune. but the
passing time is hill of uncertainty; and it requires little
foresight to perceive that the face of Europe may be,
soddenly changed. It seems to us, therefore, more
reasonable to be uneasy than to slumber. Should an
important event surprise us while we remain in this
provisional state, while we are deliberating who should
or should not be Minister, while we fancy we are
managing the affairs of 'he State, by supporting or op
posing candidates, what would we do? This will ex.
plain 40Us surprise, and even our disquietude, on learning
that a choice has been made which, though falling on
an honourable man, is not one calculated to definitively
✓escue us from this endless q §estine of ponvisionahty.

,PARISH. OF ST. SAVIOUR'S. SOUTHWRAL

These has been a c ,nsidetable disputt in the parish
lof St. Southwark, in consequence of the elec.
Itinn of a gentleman who has been appointed to the office
called "General Poor and Renter Warden," instead of
a candidate who has, it is said, given offence to some
of the upper orders of the parish. by attributing to them
. fancy to the Select Vestry system. Mr. Wild was the
can lidate alluded to. and having already served the
-Ste below 'hat of " Renter Warden," stood senior in
nominaiion to the successful candidate. The numbers
were 29 to 27. and Mr. Wild dem .nded a poll, which
was refused, upon the ground of want of precedent ; land
Mr. Wild, litho professes himself to be tie staunch de-
fender of the chartered rights :sod privileges of the Pa-
rish Corporate. has pledged himself to try the question
whether a poll can be, under these circumstances, legally
refused. The Act of the Std Henry VIII. of which
the following is an esti act in the quaint language of the
time, is the authority upon which the experimer.t is to
be made. The Act states "that the patrishoress of the
music piirrishe among themselves letely. at such times
as after their sadde (serious) discrecions they shall I hincke
convenient... for ever more shall nomin do and elect
..sise or Imre beige persons, dwelliog within the pre.
chute of the said parishe, to be Chu, che.Wat dens, who
shall doo and exercise all and everyethinge as any other
Wardens may doe in any other parishe or place within
this Realme of England, which Wardens shall be a per-
petual' and a bible bodge in the lase. and also shall
have a common wales to preserve fur tire business of the
same Corporation." Stc stc.

MENDIICtY—SUCIETY.
Yesterday afternoon the eleventh Annual Meeting of
the sulAtibers and friends io the above Society was held
at the Freemasons' Tavern; the Right lion. Lord RAD.
not= in the Chair.

The CRAIRRAN stated, that he extremely regretted
the absence of the Noble Earl (Hat dwicke) who was to
have f resided on the occasion, but who was prevented
from doing so by severe indisposition. The merits of
the Institution were too well known to require any cult).
gium from nun; and he would therefore conclude by
requesting the attention of the Meeting to the Report of
the proceedings of the Committee during the past year.
The Report was then read by M. ETRIPIII/111. the
Assistant Manager ; after stating the number of men:
dicants, &c. who 'had been relieved by the Society, it
called the attention ut the sunscribers to a material
improvement made by the Committee as to the em-
ployment of the persons a ho applied to them for tend.
The wharf at which the able bodied applicants were
formerly employed in breaking stones, was at a
lance frMn the office, and the contract with the prp.t
prietors somewhat expensive. They had thelefore
deemed it expedient to adopt, in lieu of that disttar
and expensive process, a plan which would be more
immediately under their own inspection, and accord-
ingly they resolved to As:splay their ablh-bodied male
and female applicants in goading wheat by means of a
hand mill, and preparing Niel gar, which is atter:suds
made into bread tor daily distribution in the Society's
office, in premises adjacent. which 'they bad hired for
the purpose. and where the necessary apparatus had
been erected. The men are employed in turning the
mill, and the women in working the dressing machine.
They are separated from each other, and their labour
superintended by a person who easily combines the
duty of inspection with the baking of the bread. This
plan has proved to be in many respects superior to the
former. In the first place, it provides a test for the
industry of the women, who cannot be employed in the
breaking of stones, and therefore frequently become idte
pensioners on the bounty of the Society. From its
proximity its the office it afforded the managers an op.
portunity of ascertaining by the immediate offer of work
to the able-bodied mendicant, whether he is ills' used
to accept it—withholding the meal until he has earned
it by industrious exertion ; whereas the distarice of the
former plate of employment rendered it necessary pre-
viously to supply with food the per suns sent to N 0: 14
of whom the greater part (as had been proved), bas
absconded. The new plan was also much cheaper than
the former, and a test by which they could distingui-h
the indu.ttiuus from the idle mendicant, and afford
temporary employment to persons deserving it until
they could procure a more regular occupation.
A letter was then read from the Earl of Harda icke,
enclosing a donation of SOL and another from Lord
Skelmersdale, regretting his inability to attend the
Meeting.
Mr. Wilmot Houton, in moving the first Resolu-
tion (that the Report be printed and circul ted). dwelt
on the benefits arising from the exertions of the t ociety,
which, he said, notwithstanding their name, was mote
directed to the police Of the system than I) the soppee..
siun of mendacity, which never could be suppressed until
souse employment was afforded to the unemployed poor.
He alluded to some of the points m ntioned in the Re-
port, particularly the decrease of It ish mendicants in this
country for the last year, which arose solely trom the
temporary cheapness of provisions in Ireland, and which
could not be considered as a permanent reiief. The
several re, oils of the Society, he considered, contained
more useful information with regard to the subject of
mendicity than any thing which had appeared, and, as
it would be cure.. ely useful that Parliament should
have an opportunity tif acquiring that intro mation, he
should be very happy to be the instrument of laying
these reports before the House of Commons.
Captain Baastros, R.N. seconded the motion, which
was put and Castled unanimously.
The Hum E. Corr moved the second Resolution, and
in a brief speech implored the Meeting not to relax in
their ex tins in behalf of the Society.
EDWARD Pattauttrt, Esq. in seconding it, observed
that he had, for several years, devoted his attention to
the bu.iness of the &clay, and he was more and more
convinced of its usrtultress. It inquired it to the wants
of the poor. and ascertained the merits of the cases pre.
.seated to them for rebel. The system of indiscriminate
alms-giving was extremely reprehen.ible, and he trusted
the public would shortly he convinced of the mischief
attending it.
Col. Buouourow, in an able speech, advocated the
aaaso of the Society.
Tho Hon. C. J. Saone observed, that housekeepers in
gooey past of the metropolis were fully convinced of the
.advantages derived from the institution.
Several other gentlemen then addressed the meeting,
after which were voted to the Chairman, who
acknowledged the compliment in a suitable speech.
The meeting then adjourned.
