passage Of the Reform Bill. The Lord Mayor
presided. and resolutions in favor Of the Bill were
unanimously adopted.
In moving the second reading Of the Reform
Bill for Scotland. in the House of Commons, on
the evening of the esd Of September, the Lord

the paramount Importance of the matter, when
compared with that which has drawn the hosora'
bic and learned gentleman out on any former &C.
casion, we may almost look upon this as a debut,
and the mastery manner in which he handled
his subject proves that his talents, as politician
and a statesman have not been overrated. The
auti-reformers tried their strengl, by moving an
amendment, the result of which, as might have
been expected, was another signal defeat by a ma

FRANCE.
Ahishly interesting debate, has occupied the
Chamber of Deputies for four days. 1t grew out
of NJ. Mauguin's call for Information on the for
eign policy of the Ministry.
This debate termlnated on the 22d OF Septem-
Der, and the result was received by express in
London on the morning of the Oath; and, accord
ING to the London Courier of the evening of that
day, the Chamber came to the following decision
1.-THE Chamber, satisfied with the explanation
given by the Ministers, and c~Onhdins in the'rso-
licitude for all which interests the honor and dig
nifty of France, passes to the order of the day"
Upon a division there appeared in favor OF pass
majority in favor of Ministers s..
So large a majority proves that the Perier ad.
ministration has reason to be confident Of its
strength; that the peace system will be maintain
ed, and that Poland must be left to the tender
mercies of Russia. The explanations OF Minis
tiers we're SO satisfactory, that the public mind
seems to have been tranquilised, and the funds
rose. Elves on the 2lst closed at SIT. 75c. and
Threes at 59f zoe. There had been several dis
turbances raised in the streets of Paris by sedl-
tious individuals, whom the Carlists are charged
with having instisated to excite clamor; but they
were promptly put down. Precautionary inca
sures, however, had not been discontinued at the
latest dates: strong patrols of cavalry and infan-
try paradlug the streets at night, and the Palais
Royal being shut up at an early hour. Trade was
dull.
From the summary Of French news in the Ii
yerpool Albion Of Monday 18th Sept. we extract
the following:
The restoration Of tranquility in Paris is as
cribed principally to the e%xertlons OF the troops
of the line, tor the National Guards are said to
have shown an ominOus ~backwardness in repress-
ing the mob; and BY the signs of mourning which
the greater part OF them wore, avowed their sym
patty with the people in their regret al the dlsas-
tiers of the Poles. This inhdelity of the Nation
al Guards though political, appears to have been
regarded as the most serious incident IN the ate
commotion
The contents Of the Paris journals of Monday.
and the letters from private correspondent, are
various and important. Paris was in a state OF
excitement, but up to that moment no acts OF yio-
lence had been committed by or on The populace.
who had assembled in several quarters. but par
t~icularly in the neighborhood Of the Chamber OF
Deputies. The National Guards mustered rath.
er more numerouslv on sunday than on Saturday.
but we're still far from displaying Msi' J2rmer
aIacrity.
The report of the Committee on the peerage
was presented to the Chamber of Deputies on
Monday, but. Of course was not discussed. The
leading recommendations of the report were the
hereditary peerage, (and which had been carried
IN the committee by a majority of one, the num-
bers having been five to four and that the seIec-
ton of the individuals and the creation OF the
new peers should be vested exclusively and un-
controlled in the King.
The Paris papers Of Tuesday and "Wednesday
have been received. Upon the chief topic Of do
nestle politics, at present, the report which they
contain is, upon the whole, satisfactory. The
