These elections are the more impor'an'' mas
much as to these Commissions VIII be submitted
the budgets of 1882, and we have good reason 10
hope tina, the Members they will choose under
new regulation introduced by General Deliarcay
for the examination of the budgets, Will De men
who will not adopt, in that examination the res
toration and all lis errors and hypocr'ses a' lher
guide; but the revolution ut July ana the ,har-
ter Uf 1880.
On NV return Yesterday from the Police Cor
re- ,t,oueie. found all the Renters mnch asitat-
ed about an articIein the Old Times OF last "eo-
nesday. The Renters, CD ordinary OCCASIONS
look to that Journal for peace, comfort ana hish
prices; but the leading article OF last Thursday
has sadly disappointed them. so the tunus went
down half per cent. and the Renters were me-
| ,ancholy or mad. In some Of the statements con-
tanned IN that article fully concur, and especi-
Iy in every word it says with respect to Poland.
But when the old Times Z, pears t"apprehend that
the Casimir Pcrier Cabinet will look 10 extending
the frontiers or the influence ol France II Is We
~ sadly mistaken. The French troops Will leave
Belgium To avoid such another article IN
! The Times, if the Proprietors shall demand r.,
far II. Pericr never meant anything more by his
Belp,ap expedition than to make some show and
d,snlay-and then to add, "lou perceive that
when The moment arrived that IT became necessa-
rysto act, France assumed her stand and sent for
ward an army" This is mere Charataulsm.--
Nothing else Sume Deputies have been deceiv'
ed by it, and perhaps some Journals as well IN
France as in London-but the majority have not
been so easily tricked. No; no. The French
Government of to-day has no sort OF intention OF
making war for Belgium "r placing Donna Ma
ria on the throne of Portugal. Nj. Casmr Pc
rier may be compelled to retire, and another MI
mister may adopt different policy. but let the
Renters assure themselves that Louis Phillp
would not offend England for the value OF doL-
en- thrones. and that the Government of the Pa
Iais Royal will submit to any condition which that
Of ST, James may impose. Before conclude
questions of those who are constantly labcrlns
to prevent the reunion Of Belgium TO France.
They shalt be short and clear.
LIST. Is it not true that the Belgian army IS
to be commanded in future by French, and not
by Belgian General in Chief: and have not this
and other French appointments been made by a
Prince who necessarily has English preJudlces,
desires. and feelings: and has he not SD made these
amendments because he perceNes that Belgium
cannot long remain independent; or at least that
such independence must depend entirely on the
will of France.
3. If Belgium Is not to be reunited TO France,
what Is to become of it, and how is it to defend
its neutrality. pay the expenses OF its regal Go
vernment. bear the charges necessariy attendant
on the future, as we'll as incident to the past,
and what resources does it possess for meeting
the vast and numerous chaIg es to which 1t must
submit a. an independent though neutral state'
With these questions | close my letter; and
am prepared to MAINTAIN that sooner or later Bel
= GUM must be united to France. Despise not,
then. the advice Of Mr., Barring, nor even OF
Your most obedent servant, d. L. =.
