We have received the Paris journals of Thurs
day, the 10th ult.
The Presse publishes long leading article, in
! which it processes to give the secret history Of
the proposed intervention IN Swtzerl and II
attributes the idea exclusively to M Guizot, and
SAYS that he conceived it Immediately after the
rupture of the cordial understanding with Eng
| land. M. Guizot considered that, by adopting
| a hostile bearing towards the radicals of Swift
zerland, he might concillate the despotic powers
| in Europe, and relieve himself from the state of
isolation in which he was placed by the Spanish
marriages. The Presse, moreover, taunts Nj.
| Guizot with having borrowed from the govern
ment OF Louis XVIII. precedent for interfering
in the domestic quarrels of other nations. Louis
XVIII. interfered in Spain, under the pretence
| of preserving 1t from anarchy. nj. Guizot has
influenced the northern powers to commence a
crusade against the revolutionary spirit which
nanced in 1922 the idea of an expedition against
the revolutionary spirit in Spain The Presse
prophecies that M. Gulzot Will, In the end, had
himself without any alliance, and exposed to the
| iH-will OF Lord Palmerston and the displeasure
of Prince Metternich The Commerce has cal
culated, that during the last seventeen years no
less than ,lD prosecutions had been directed
| against the journals in the name of King Louis
| Philippe, who had inaugurated his accession to
| the throne by formal promise that no prosecu-
| ton should be In future Instituted against the
press. During that period 81 journals were
| obliged to suspend their publication in conse-
| quence of the severity Of the penalties. The
writer's were sentenced to 3,14l years and eight
months Imprisonment, and the journals to no.

with Rome might be effected without any de-
rogation to the rights and .prerogatives OF the
crown. Nj. ArraZOla, the Minister oil Justice,
and M. Santaella, las a member of the committee,
combated the amendment, which was not taken
into consideration. The Archb shop of Burgos
next proposed to insert In the address clause TO
| the effect that project OF law providing be-
coming, secure, and independent dotatlon for the
