The leading article of the Journal dc Debats
OF Yesterday is review Of the 6-h edition Of
Beaumont's works on Ireland. In the review
the decision Of the Judges who snnulied tha de-
cree that doomed the leaders of Repeat t. prison,
is lauded as a triumph of the liberal spirit of the
Engl sh laws, that does not receive sufficient
credit in France. The Journals considers that
when Ireland was GA the point of revolution,
(CIontarf) the English Government acted
wisely for ireland, and also for Mr.. O'Conne!l,
in promptly stopping the agitation. This en-
dorsement of the policy of planting cannon where
people were expected to assemble without giving
Them notice in due lime arises from personal
piure to Mr.. O'ConuelI. The Journal Is accused
OF reSchong too citen the opinions otthe london
"Times," and as regards the question OF Repeal,
it does not sustain the French view of that mea-
sure. This fact is known and appreciated, and
although Mr.. O'Connell Is no'popular here, yet
the cause he advocates has warm friends among
all classes.
The adyices from Berlin of the Esd November

Butcher situated in Domain near Berlin, and

honor presented to him by The Prince Regent of
England.

The General led off the first quadfle with the
Queen as his partner. In the second she was
n ,rtner IF the French Ambassador, and IN the
