Wisely he chose the latter alternative
nine tenths of his people will applaud

April, ON this subject says
cater brief consideration, the King
decided upon G.ssolying Parliament IN
person. This resolution was taken at
- O'Clock, and such was the sudden
ness Of the determination, that there was
not sufficient time to make the arrange
nlenls usual on such occasions. His
Mmesty's characteristic expression Is
SAID 10 be, off the carriage cannot be
got ready, will 90 IN Jarrey.' lhis,
however, we would be understood to
rive rs an idle rumour, generated IN the
zeal of the moment. Another version
makes his Majesty eXclaim, "lf the
long-boat can't be got ready, man the
gigp w.ich is, at all events, more APP
prop,iatc to the hnmour ol a SAILOR
King Such was the rapdity with
which this decision was carried INTO
effect, that the guar DIS which were ap-
pointed to receive his Majesty at the
doors Of Parliament, hardly arrived in
time to save appearances. None oil the
troops had sufficient notice TO enable
them, as ordinarily, to line the streets
and even the royal cortcgc was deficient
in many Of It's state appointments. AT
the House Of Peers all was confusion.
Some OF their lordshipS appeared IN
their robes, others in plain clothes.-
The galleries and lobbies of the House
; Of Commons were crowded to eXcess.-
The utmost anxiety prevailed throughout
the nei.hborhood. For the iiIst time
in our day, and perhaps in more dar-
ing spilit than any Of which our annals
present an example; the House OF
Peers assumed the appearance OF Il
dsorGanzed popular assembly. In
the most unsettled period OF our history,
there can hardly be found such an IN
stance Of extraordinary and sudden
abandonment oithe dcIiberatiye charac-
ter The courtcsies Of society were
violated on all sides, and personalities,
amounting almost to rudcr modes of
expression, passed amongst the lords
duIing the glamour. Instances Of oE-
probrIou5 language have been commun!-
Gated to US, which, however, VIC decline
publishing. The confusion, clamor AMI
dismay that flied the House Of Com
mons were equally remarkable; but we
arc more accustomed to meet the unem-
belishcd reflection Of vulgar reality
while in the House Of Peers we are
used to see poor humanity trcked out so
dainty, that deviation on the pant Of
their lordships from the fashionable
into the every day nature, awakcns IN
us still greater degree Of admlra-
ton"
As far as time allowed for a maniics-
tation of popular feeling in relation to
The energetic course Of the King; 1t
was loudly in his favor; and on his re-
turn from the House he was chcercd by
the people.
The Propagation Of Parliament is IN
/ fact dissolution, the very first sentence
of the Kings Speech says so; but we
have not observed in our latest pa
pcrs that a dissolution had been former
4 iy announced The moment the King 5
determination was know "a great many
expresses were dispatched from Lon
don on elcctionccring business. WI hen
new parliament Is TO be summoncd;-
the people we have no doubt Will, as tar
as in them lies, elect such members, as
will insure the success OF the Reform
BiIl--for though this lavollte measure OF
the King and Ministry is abandCned;-
/ it is not given up; it Is only abandoned;
for the Parliament that was in beIng;-
and when ii new one assemblies, 1t viii
again be brought forward.
Such has been the feeling and ankle
.ty in relation to the proceedings IN
Parliament, that in London all things
else seems to have been considered Of
minor Importance. From Poland the
news is cheering; Skczyncski has fol-
lowed up his victories Of 3lst March
and lst April with energy, skill and
bravery, and from 18th to 1th April he
achieved such signal successes, that
rumor is willing to believe the indcpen-
I. dcncc of Poland is sealed.
T. In France all is tranquil; the fears
entertained that the peace of Paris was,
or would be disturbed are groundless. -
On the 10Th April in the Chamber Of
. Peers, law authorizing credit of n
million and half of francs for the
secret expenses Of the Police was passed
without debate, 96 to II. The next
subject which occupied the attention of
the Chamber was law for the exclu-
sion Of the ex-klng Charles and his
family, which after short but warm
debate was carried by majority of 81.
On the Goth Louis Philip proceeded to
the Chambers, and in a speech prorogucd
