Parliament met after the Easter holidays on Mon

Peel entered into somewhat detailed explanation
Of the reasons which frustrated the commercial trea
ties with Portugal and Brazil The failure of Mr.
Elliss mission TO the British is considered by the
trading community as a national calamity. England

The Constitutional has latterly taken up the
question of persecution OF Protesants in France as

tribunals OF Nantes and Versailles, in the case of
the Protestant congregation OF Seanevic, that the
authorization OF the government is ;sary before
pastor can enter upon his duties That 1t would
be desirable 10 have such law amended no one

prosecuting disposition, that, when questioned be-
fore the proper tribunals, the latter, having no dis
crehon IN tact, affirm simply that the terms of the
law are such and must be complied with.
