In the sitting Of the Chamber of Deputies on the
10Th April, Mr.. ARAoo announced that, on the Sunday
following the communication by electrical telegraph

tai and Rouen He said also: :" Il had been at

doubt whatever existed that it would be so, with

rious principles, and specified the process OF Pro-
fessor MORSE to whom no European oracle is willing
to allow the original and superior credit TO which
he is entitled. On the same occasion, the Ministry
affirmed, i'm answer 10 an interrogation concerning
the relations OF France with Morocco, that the
Moorish Emperor made every effort TO fulfil the
treaty and control the " formidable" ABD-EL-kADRR,
but this was not easy, and might prove impractical
BILE. II was for this, however, that the war was
undertaken. In the Chamber, severe structures
came from several quarters ON the project OF an
expedition against the Kabyles, tribe who occupy
more than sixty leagues Of rugged mountains beyond
the Jugura. Mr.. GUsTAvE DE BEAUMONT THE ira

speech against the spirit Of mere military movement

These Kabyles never submitted 10 Romans, Arabs,
Vandals, or Turks. They count hundred thou

sedentary. They have been quiet inofensve

deemed enough-two hundred and fifty leagues Of

and that the chief danger for France is from mari
time approach. The diplomatic, firm, and joint
intervention of the Five Powers has accomplished
more than any domestic sense or authority for the
temporary pacifcation Of Switzerland. So deep
and diffusive the religious and political anpa-
thics and resentments, that they must end in dis
solution of the Confederation, or absolute foreign
control multitude of strangers resided in Swift
zerland. Confidence in public tranquility is lost,
and the Swiss will lose very large annual harvest

orous and strong: il calculates additional vigor
and durability when the Pope shall have recognised
Queen ISABEL in return for important concessions
to the Catholic religion and cause in Spain. Yet
no Spaniard here has any reliance on any present
aspect of affairs sudden, complete revolution
would occasion surprise nor would il afford
hope of stability. Mr.. IRVING was entirely conva-

Such decision was deemed sufficient TO conquer
the reluctance of the Cabinet and overawe the Peers;
nevertheless, the Upper House has chosen COM
