execution Of the French laws is a serious
injury to the people OF a ne'ghnDring coun-
try, because it deprivcs their Government
ot the salutary impulse, which AN opposite
line of conduct might impart. We are,
therefore, hostile in the extreme &c the
system now pursued by the Ultra Roy
aiists tor the restoration Of that arbitrary
and underlined authority, which the King
formerly exercised in France. Another
motive for our aversion to the pro-
iects Of tht fiction, is the fear we enter
tain OF their occasioning another political
convulsion. Such an event would probably
plunge this country into the irretrie vabc
calamities of a new war; and Heaven
preserve us from any occurrence that
should add to the pressure OF our present
difficulties. Pn5iic Ledger.

A motion was last night made in the Ii.
of Commons, by Mr.. Tierney. to reduce
the Office Of rhira Secretary of State. Our
readers will see that most irsefragable
case was made out by Mr.. Tiernsy, and
they will not be surprised that the motion
was resisted by the Ministers. The ground
on which the reduction was demanded.
was-1. That it was new Office, first
created during our contest with the North
American Colon,es-that it had since been
abolished by Act of Parliament. and that
il had been suffered to be renewed only
during tine pressure of pubic business in
1894. .. That at present. the business of
the war had ceased, and the business OF
the volunteers and militia, great branch
OF the home department, had also been

these two departments should be CONSOLE
dated, with the exception OF the admins
tration of the Cape, Mauritius, and Cey-
Ion, which might be transferred to the
President of the Board of Controui, or that
some other arrangement which Minister'S
might think more advisable. But Minis
ters thought no arrangement advisable,
which would deprive them of tic patron

champion of economy, the never-failing
professor OF parslmoniOus reduction On the

or day, that Mr.. Bankes lamcuted how
difficult 1t was to persuade some persons,
that the convenience of the public was to
be preferred tc that of individuals it must
be difficult indeed, since Mr.. Bankes has
not been able to persuade himself cf this
truth. Morn. Chron.
