in France, the London Courier makes the fol-
lowing comments :-SS Thus has terminated,
for the present, the struggle between the
King and the Chamber. We learn from pri-
vate letters Of good authority, that his Males
ty yielded, very reluctantly, to the necessity
of this measure. In the course Of Friday he
several times consented and retracted, and it
was not till late hour at night that he final
~ sanctioned the arrangement as it now APP
pears. Looking,to the elements of which this
Ministry is composed, however, we cannot
] prophecy for it a very long existence. 1t is
composed of men decidedly ultra royal in their
principles and the fact is undeniable, that
the party protesting those principles are not
! likely 10 concliate publick opinion in France
! 1t is useless to say that If should be otherwise
the simple fact that it is not SO, is the ground
upon which our reasoning must be built. The
belief is very generally entertained through
out France, that the ultra, party cherish views
which can never be realized without vitality
compromising the existing interests of nine
tenthsof the people, Immediately, or remotely.
