FRANCE.
The Partisan papers are filled with matters
growing out of the late melancholy death OF
the Duke of Orleans. The first express ions
of grief and regret which they made at the
un,imely death Of the Prince, are giving
place to political party. The regency ques.
tion is at present the most dominant one in
Paris.
A Royal Ordonnnnce conyoking the Cham
bers for the 26th instant, has been issued,
and it il known TO be for the purpose Of pas
sing q Regency Bill; and all parties begin
to regard this question as the first trial of
strength. The semi-ministcral journals an
nounce that the intention Of the Government
and of the King, is to have the Duke of Ne
mours appointed Regent, the Duchess OF
Orleans remaining iutoress Of her children.
No sooner was this known than opposition
began to cabal against it.
The Gazette de France. a Carlst print, de-
MES the right Of the Chambers TO name a
Regent.
The remains Of the Duke of Orleans are
to be inferred early in August, at Dreux
but the funeral ceremony will be conducted
at the Notre Dame.

The House Of Representatives hav-
ing again adopted the one hour rule in
debate, it is probable that the final ad-
lournment of the present Congress will
take place sometime in July. 1t will be
seen from the following article which
we extract from late National lnteIIi
gencer, that the Apportionmeat Bill is
suspended between the two houses-and
its final passage in jeopardy. 1t is also
worthy Of remark that a majority Of the
House Of Representatives seem disposed
TO SO the whole length, as in duty
bound, for an efficient Tariff; indepeu.
dent of the 20 per cent. proviSo of the
Distribution Act. That is all right
The time has arrived when the govern.
menl should look to the legitimate sourcs
for revenue, and not 10 the proceeds Of
sales of the public lands, It "Caplaiu
Tyler" dare veto such a revenue bill,
'et the responsibility rest upon his Owa

Yesterday was a day OF unusual in.
terest at The Capitol The temporary

the existing tariff until the Ist day OF
August, with the proviso against its in

the proceeds Of the sales Of public lands,
passed the House OF Representatives by
majority of thirteen votes, in one Of
the fullest Houses Of the session, two
hundred and nineteen members having
voted on the question. This decision is
considered important, as indicating, be-
yond reasonable doubt, the disposition
of the House Of Representatives 10 pass

whilst the well known opinions Of Mr..
