"The Ministerial explanations In the Chamber OF Do.

versa'lon. Ii M. Se6astiani were TO be believed, France

The Minister did not reply TO either L.uarque or Man.
guira. He dealt in gonerslitics, whilst they descend.
ed into partcuiers-and when he could not meet a
charge, he besook himself to the general shelter of
that " Ministerial reserve" which he knows 90 we'll
how TO preserve when IL suits the purpose Of the hour.
The declarations as to Luxembourg were not, however,

progress of his system OF desti,ulion. They are all
founded on the principle that a government which do,s

by a plain, manly, honouraLls sys.em Of foreign policy,
may be unable, in the hour Of need, to oppose the isci

were formed not torty.eight hours ago. So much the
better! Ii is never tCo late to amend.

Parliament adjourned on The first April, 20 meet A.
saio on the fourteenth, when the question OF re iorm
would be brought for ward. The papers were agitatiDs
the question OF dissolution. The London News save,
that a new election would give Ministers a majority
Of 12O in favor OF the Reform Bill. The Morning
Chronicle OF the Sh holds this language on The same
subjeei:-
"The question OF Dissolution IL attended with con.
siderable difficulty. UnquestioDably an election would
add greatly to the strength Of ministers. But, on the
other hand, the delay which II would occasion, could
not fail TO have the effect Of occasionipg much inson-
venienee, from The continuance Of the aEiiaiion and
excitement. Such a bene6t as a reform 10 the Parlla.
mebt cannot be purchased At too high n price. We
quarrel GOT with The excitemeni; but il The measure
can be sarTied without a DISSOLUTION, u ~ obvious that
we should thus obtain IL on easier terms"

The London Courier OF April 6 says, "Circulars wera
reeeived yesterday by the principal houses interested
n the hemp trade, from the Government, requiring a
further supply Of 1000 tons hemp. The original con
trae, issued was for 1000 tons; 1t is stated that, sincs
then, 500 tons have been brought up from The ma kei
and the further demand for 1000 tons, (makine in ali
$500 tons0 has caused some speculation here az to The
object for requiring so LARGE an extra quantity"
