sturdy morais like John Bull may be shocked at the
lax morality OF his betters the unsghy defomity which

The Franco spanish Marriage.
the Liverpool Times, Nov. 10
The misunderstanding between England and France
relative 10 the Monpenser marriage, continues to afford
vent for angry patriotism both sides of the straits of
Dover. The metropolitan journals of each country be-
come excited with the subject, and hard words are
banded on either SIDE Palmerston and Guizot have
been exchanging notes, very wordy and not very COM
plimentary. The misunderstanding has been so Serious
that the British representative at the Tulees Lord Nor
manby ordered by his government to absent himself
from the meeting of the ambassadors when they assem-
bed to present their congatu aons to the young couple
The representative also recorded the anger of the
Coburg family by staying at home. AT subsequent
private meeting, however, Lord Normandy was intro
duced by Louis Philippe his and daugher-in-la law
and the greeting each side friendly il not cordial
1t clear, nevertheless, that this marriage has
cooled the aror which existed between the British and
French courts If some of the fiery and Jealous of
the London papers had their way, should soon be
measuring anccs with our old foe about this marriage
II is time enough talk of violation of the treaty of
Utrecht when it takes place Montpenser's marriage

many cool and experienced dplomasts, the spirit or
the letter, OF that treaty. The crowns of France
and Spain not placed head by the denounced
union for present the chances of the young duke to
either of them very probematcato that of France
certainly very remote. Lord Brougham has been Mt
Paris chatting over affairs with Louis Philippe and as
his genius for intrigue keeps pace with his Years and

conclusion that he has been playing the traitor to his
country, and accordingly they set about pounding the

The state of Ireland continues to elicit abundance If

the English journalists pen long and esome diatrbes on
the anomalous state of that country. That extreme dis

parts are in state OF great destuton and their poverty

failure OF the potato crop will prevent great measure
the payment OF rents during the ensuing summer and as
the bulk of the Irish landlords live from hand to mouth Il
requires little sagacy to that many estates of the
landed gentry will have to be knocked down by the auc
