Most heartily do we felcitate our readers that
the bill to reduce the Duties on Imports has n
nalIy passed both Houses, in a form differing
very little from that in which it first passed the
House Of Representatives. This measure alone
will redeem Congress from the reproach OF much
wasted time. 1t is emphatically. whatever NAV
be said OF it By those who have opposed IT. B,A
of Compromise. Look at the vote in the Senate
on Thursday night OH the question OF indefinite
Ipostponement. Those who voted against the
p0stponement, be it observed, were against the
rejection Of the bill ;and the vote stood as So to

French Government. 1t aifarls an opportunity
to all those who have been opposed to the system
of Louis Philippe as administered by the Perler
Cabinet to rally and organise force, for introduce
Ing their own principles nto power, or creating
regular and systematic opposition. For this
purpose meeting of the Opposition Deputies
was held and long manifesto issued which APP
prared at length in the French papers OF The 30th
May, and the London Morning Post Of the 81
June. 1t is said to be the JOINT production OF
Messrs. OI,lIon Barrot, Cormenin and Mauguin,
distinguished members of the Chamber Of Depu-
ties. and is signed by forty.one members, among
whom are also Gems. Lafayette & Lamarque. De
Tracy, LATTE, &c. Its object is to bring back
the Cabinet of Louis Philippe to the principles
of the revolution of July, from which he is accus.

throws much light upon the state Of parties in
France, and their separate views.

They reproach the Government with having
abandoned the cause of Poland when it was in
their power to save her, after having announced
a determination of supporting her nationality
