French Capital favor the opinion that the Chambers
Will be dissolved, IN the of the ensuing sum

the Paris journals, understood be in the confidence
of the minister's has announced such determination
already certain Such a measure would be ex-
cccdngly rash, IL the present teversh state of the
country, unless the government knows, to positive
anty, that by vigorous exertion OF its influence,
and those appliances at IT'S command, II carry
majority Of the Deputies against tho popular voice
But whether the Chambers to be dissolved, or

and English capitals, decidedly of the opinion,

sent Chambers.

be desirable on the score OF humanity to have the

have TO the former determination and will take
most efRectual measures for the accomplishment of
the obJect.-The kingdom of Algiers might be rem
