Tuesday night. Though then labor
ing under indisposition, he remained
till the debate had nearly terminated.
The following are the majorities by |
which bill similar in its general OBJ
jects was carried at two former periods,
though ultimately lost. In 1913, Mr..
Grattan's bill was read a second time
by a majority of AZ in house Of 443
members; and in 1921, Mr.. Plunkett's
bill by majority Of II in house OF
4s7 HENDERSON its third reading,
this bill had le majority in house Of
4l3. 1t was subsequently thrown out
of the Lords by majority of SO out of
27e votes Courier.
City, 0'ciock.-Both the English and
foreign markets are in the same situa-
ton as to business; scarcely a bargain
has been done in either.-Consols re-
main at 90 So for the May account
Spanish bonds have been improved,
being 23s to "a. The share market is
much depressed and literally nothing
whatsoever doing.

We have received the French Jour
nails of Saturday. They contain the
important fact which we stated in our
paper Of yesterday, that the amendment
of Count Roy, on the law of indemnity,
had been rejected in the chamber Of
Peers, by majority of 81 or, as the
votes stood, by l27 to 100. This point
is of the greater consequence, as the
fate, not only of the project before the
chamber, but that Of the law on the
rentes, and even the destiny Of M. de
Villele's administration, rested upon it.
M. Roy's proposition was, to substi-
tute an annuity Of 81 millions and
half of rente, arising from per cent,
found of $50 millions, for an annuity Of
80 millions, of rente, arising from
capital of 10000 millions at 3'per cent.
In proposing this large income to the
emigrants, NJ Roy thought that he
could induce them to oppose the min
lister by the temptation of self-interest,
while il. he defeated M. de Villele on
this ground, he might calculate on the
overthrow of his project for the reduc-
ton Of the rentes. The event has dis
appointed the enemies OF the Ministry,
and confirmed M. de Villele in the pos
session of power There can scarce
ly now exist any doubt that the law
for the reduction of the rentes will be
as successful as the indemnity project
in tie Upper Chamber. In that par
ticular article to which the rejected "a
mendment was proposed, they entire
ly coincide, and the success Of the one
may be regarded as proof Of the pas
sing of the other. Why did M. VilIele
indemnify the emigrants by fund ola
thousand millions at per cent, except
to engage their cupidiiy to the sanction
of a principle which he had more fully
developed in more comprehensive
law, and how can the same Peers re-
ject that principle in one case which
they have sanctioned in another? The
lnt.v.i~-.;nn Of this clause into the bill
which was to" heal the r~--I~ nf the
revolution" was piece Of dexterous
management in the willy Minister Of
Finance.-7fmes.
Extract ola letter dated Zante, March %, 1925
"The Turks this year have pushed
on. SIbrahim Pacha has effected 4
landing at Modon and Coron with
$4,000 men, and the vessels are gone
back fo~ others. The Egyptian troops
are gone in the direction OF Kalamata,
and have burnt many villages. The
blockade of Patras has been unavailing,
as Mahmoad has passed into Patras in
his ten gun brig, with many vessels UNI
der convoy, loaded with provisions
from Prevesa. Immense forces are
collecting by the Turks in Albania
Ulysses has gone over with Trelawney
to the Turks. 1t is now thought here
that The Turks will subdue the Greeks
this year"
Madrid, .Aprl 5.-Some attacks by
robbers, are represented by the alarm
lists as instruction Of the Constitution
alists, but they are in fact banditti,
whose object is plumber, and who do
not care about politics. There is no.
thing surprising in the existence OF
these bands, after the disbanding ofthe
troops, and in the stagnation Of trade.
