so laughed on, aud wont my way. And the noXt
dav 1 spoke to an editor OF u liberal journal III
Paris. lIc had visited tho Bourse for tho purpose
of picking up infornation; and he asked me,
.'Shal wo have peace war;" replied, what
does NJ Pcrricr say TO this qucstion7'-"As for VI
Perer, he says all in tho Nonteur. which scarcely
any one reads. and no one believes He tolls us
that to have peace, and that all the other
papers arc Observation-Disclosures falsehoods-and arc
not entitled to belief; but he had better answer me
three questions, of which the first rs what Is the
state of our negotiations with Russia for the cause
of Poand---its ndcrcndence-and its Constitutions!
I'd, What is the state of negotiations with
Austria for the cause of Modena, Rome, and Pied
mont and 3D. what is the state o; our negotiations
with Prussa, England, and the Gcrnsanic Contcd-
Grafton FOR Bolgium1" told him to publish tho
questions in his Journal, and nc promised to do so.
But it is of little uscior Casir Pcrricr will not
reply to them.
And last of all convcrscd with parlizan of
Mr.. Casimer Perrier He was 60 years of ago--was
delighted that the funds were risng-said that
the ministry was firm and would last-that no low
cd liberty well as any man-but that France
had too much arcady--hnd then he began Il long
tirado against the liberty of the press. He said
''that Franco wanted an aristocracy, and that Ca
sinner PerrIer would assure to her this advantage
that France wanted peace, and that it was absurd
to suppose that because few hundred Italians
made riots in the Papal states, therefore, that
were to march army thither, and dethronc tho
Pope That as to the Balgians they were never
oontentcd, and never would be, and that for his
part, if all Belgium should be drowned, he should

the Revolution in July Just, because it was
made against illegal ordinances; IL though the pun
shment inflicted by the people perhaps Excess
sive, yet il would be n lesson to kings violate
the laws. He said Louis Philip was the only man
who could have saved Franco from anarchy and in
vason that if the French were not happy now, they
never deserved to be, and he hoped never would
be-" I asked him what he thought of an heredi-
tary Peerago lie said let the existing Peerages
be hereditary, and those TO be created let them be
for life" l asked him if he thought the King
should have the power of creating an unlimited
number Of Peers: and no said, Oh certainly. Would
you take away an iota of the Royal FORGET" This
is 7 great friend of Casimer Perricr or | should
not quote him. and it il thus that these people un-
dcrstand the Revolution Of July. But one day OF
other those mon will find their error; for France
will not be trickcd out of the rincplcs and tho re-
suits of that revolution.
AS descended the steps of tho Bourse me;
three young men, arm, III arm, all adorned with the
ribband of the Decoration of ..lhc Cross of July,
whether they had taken the Oath of Allegiance
which Nj. Casimir Pcrrier had required of them?
"No, no. was the answer, '.not such fools We
owe allegiance to France, but not to Dynasty

thought, We did not expect this last August; but
derived some consolation from rejecting that it
is never too late to retrace steps; and fCasi
mir Perrler wlllnot act with the nation, why the

Thus the system of NJ. Casi,nir Perrier is oppo-

should be 'humilated by the young and ardent part
of our population-By Observation-Disclosures

The King of the French is actively engaged in
recognizing the Arstocracy of the Restoration
whilst the King of England is occupied in deliver
ing both himself and his people from the tram
meis of a cruel and oppressive Oligarchy. The
latter has 4 majority of $50 in the new House of
Commonsi We shall see what will be the MAORI
~ of the former in the Chamber of Deputies.
And now have before letter from Warsaw
OF the 10th of May. 1t is very short, and will
give you translation. 1t runs thus:
" WARSAW, May 16.-1fy Dear Fricnd-In vair
we have looked for help from France, that France
which led us INTO revolution, and promised us hel
best aid. In vain do we call to the remembrance o.
your cruel government the wrongs we have suffered
and the ills yet endure. We have appealed TO the

we cannot even obtain muslets under the seal OF
france, nor remttances of money. Lord Grey is a
distinguished friend of liberty and he is surrounded
by those who have long fought against the policy OF
the Holy Alliance, but will they break wi h Russia
for the sake of Poland? If not, we must prepare
