Bile in our Corn and Cotton markets, the accounts
from the manufacturing districts are cheering

Throughout the week, but the Funds were some
what duer yesterday, in consequence of an ex-

In the course of the debate, in the Assembly,
on foreign affairs, ministers declared thai there

that after having more carefully considered the
subject, he had been unable to discover the
slightest trace of that new holy alliance OF which
honorable members had expressed such Jealousy.
In the course of his speech M. de Tocquevlle
talked of the irankness of the Russian govern
ment tan expression that was received with
shouts OF derisve laughter
Gen. Cavaignac said, al fully agree with the
honorable gentleman, who has said that great
country like France, should not remain IN
state OF Insulation. II was necessary that we
should get ont OF that position. 1t was essential
that we should form an alliance with some gov
ernmen,, but the question was, what government
should we select to whom should we address
ourseves--Io Prussia, to Austrla' Those two
powers were engaged in struggles we then
made oyerlures to a great power-to England
aud In doing So think we acted IN conformity
with the wishes of the continent Assembly. Ii
has been said that the English Government
only accepted our alliance, IN order TO be able
the better to watch US. Certainly England would
not become our ally, had 1t not been her interest
TO do so but that interest is reciprocal, and 1t
England has an interest in watching France,
France has an equal one IN watching her. That
reciprocal surveillance is the basis OF all allan
ces between governments. In reply to our ap-
plication, England accepted our offers Of alb.
ances as she did, doubtless from a wish TO pre-
serve peace. think that the explanation have
given viii be sufficient reply TO the reproach
made against US, of giving rise to a new coall-
ton," ihear, hear) Toe gallant General then
stated " that he had his part in the responsblll-
ties attached 10 the order of the day, voted
month since by the constituent Assembly, and
explained that In his opinion the danger was in
the reconstruction of the Northern powers, and
In the anDihllalion ut French influence"
