Nothing can be more erroneous. On this SIDE OF

NJ Gulzot experienced with reference to syria,
would have involved, in all probability, a defeat on
the main question. They do things differently In
France. A man may talk an Infinite amount OF
bombast from the trbun" without meaning much
harm. The 6rmness OF NJ Gulzol, not only with re-
ference TO his bold and emphatic declaration that he
would not negotiate fer modification of the trea-
ties but his peremptory stoppage OF the discussion
about Spain IN the present state OF the relations be-
tween that country and France, showed strong
sense OF his own position, and corresponding con,
temp, for the opposition. Marshall Soult supported
his colleague nobly in the trial The papers gOat
over the handsome things which Lord Brougham,
on the first night OF the session, uttered respecting
France. The sentiments to which his Lordship, on
that occasion. expresslon are entertained gen.
orally by the British nation, which Is actuated by
nothing but friendly kelng towards the French
peoyle. Unfortunately, a very different feeling
actnates The public mind OF France, the fruits OF
which, at no remote day, there is too much reason
10 fear, will lead TO a renewal OF old hestilites.
Al the sitting on the I'd inst, the Chamber was
addressed by Marshal Sebastian, who entered into
an historical sketch Of the period when the treaties
were concluded, and defended them; by M. Dupin,
who entered into the right of search question be-
tween England and the United States, in which, al.
ludlng 10 the treaty, in 1924, between England and
America, he said that although the president sign
ed that treaty. yet the Senate refused to ratify the
signature. (The honorable deputy, il will be seen
by reference 10 our sketch of the proceedings in
the British Parliament, has since been corrected on
the subject by Lord Brousham); and by M. Odon
Barro,, who declared himself to be strong partisan
for an alliance with England, because he was of
opinion that II guarantee for the liberty OF the
civilized world; but he was convinced, particularly
since the treaty which had recently been entered

RUSSIAN TREsTY-By this treaty, Russian and
English vessels are placed on the same footing on
entering the ports OF Russia and England. The
commerce between the two countries is chiefly car
ried on in English ships. The treaty has no refer
ence TO the tariff, by which English goods are sub
jected TO amount of duty which excludes many of
them from the Russian market.
il is said, with apparent truth, that Russia does
not feel that interest in reversing the late Servian
revolution which she affected. Alexander Georg-
wicz, the present ruler and son Of Czerny George,
resided tor many years in Russia, has been a Rus
