On Saturday published in our sec ond edition
only part of this important intelligence. We re-
publish the portions not yet BY many of our
readers with such additional items as we have dis
covered, after perusa Of our numerous files, from
every part of the world.
This intelligence is of the very highest
The position Of France and England is most interest
ing Paris has escaped revolution almost by mir
acie-and the spirited conduct of Queen Victoria in
&smssng Sir Robert Peel and the cries, has pro-
baby prevented similar catastrophe in England
Both France and England agitated by the same
passions-the same hopes-the same parties. 1t is
the last and great conflict between the opinions and
| systems Of the ieudal ages and the present.
In Paris, the sudden emette Of the 18th of MAY
was more formidable in its organization than the first
movements OF the insurgents the 9th July, $780,
which ended in revolution But for the dread of
the middle classes towards political covulsion, and
the influence of the commercial interest, it might
have driven Louis Philippe from the throne. The
sudden appointment Of Soult ministry has patched
up the affair-but when the political passions are
awakened, it is difficult to repress them The for.
midabe coalition" still exists in the Chambers OPP
posing the king-and that opposition countenances
agitation among the people, and may lead to dec-
ded revolution before the summer is
France is still in a ticksh condition. Nor is Eng
land better. The crisis still exists there. The to-
ries have the House of Lords and the recent defeat
r Il
istry has been appointed-or dissolution may take
place. In any event the movement party in Eng
land gains, and the conservative loses ground 1t is
fortunate for England that her young Queen prefers
the more liberal party in the state. That circum-
stance may break the force and ferocity Of the rad
cal agitation for reform and almost revolution
On the whole, this news only makes us look with
greater interest and deeper anxiety for the next arr
val of the Liverpool steamer, which sails on the 9TH
inst, or the first packet ship that reaches our port
with later news

The WAY THE THING WAS poNE.-When Sir Ro-
bert Peel was summoned to attend her Majesty inn
mediately after the resignation Of Lord Melbourne
hcis understood TO have claimed the privilege Of
nominating TO all the household appointments with
out exception. This privilege was, without qualif-
cation of any kind, conceded to Sir Robert by her
Majesty. In the course Of Thursday, however, the
Queen expressed strong desire TO retain about her
person certain wing ladies of rank who have hither-
10 made themselves busy in matters political. Sir
Robert Peel respectfully stated to her Majesty that
compliance with such desire could not, by possi-
bility, be gratifed. The Queen imme diately sent
for Lord Melbourne; and Lord Melbourne is once
again, prime minister.
The QUHES's AxswER.-The Queen demanded
only to be allowed TO retain about her the ladies Of
her household, and this was refused herl All her
intimate friends, all those whose society she has
been accustomed were at once 10 be banshed from
her presence, and their places were to be supplied
by Tory strangers. To this wanton indignity her
Majesty refused to submit. Her Maiestys words
were:-"I would rather be reduced to the level of
private subject than be deprived of the society of
those 10 whom j am personally attached. and who |
have been the friends Of my childhood" Her Ma |
esy further remarked that with respect to Sir Ro-
bert Poel's political arrangements she had nothing
to do but to assent TO them but that the choice 81

society, was point she would not csncede

George the Third, when upon the death OF Mr. Per- |
cval he sent for Earl Grey, stipulated for the reser
walton TO himself Of the appointment of three officers
OF the household, but the terms were declined.
The "Morning Chronicle says-The Tories pre. |
sumed too much on the youth oi the Queen and her
readiness to submit to insult. Her Majesty soon
convinced them that IL they could not draw the line
between ministerial responsibility and improper in
reference with the domestic comforts and private
friendships OF the Sovereign, she could; and Sir Ro-
bert Peel and the Tories have been taught lesson
by her Majesty which they will long remember.
