ment present but lew features oi
general interest, beyond the fact that
the ministers have beeh again beaten
by majority OF 80.
On Tuesday. Lord Ross moved
that the House should resolve itsels
into committee to consider the pres
ent mode of levying the duty on
homs made spirits in bond. The
Chancellor Of Exchequer resisted,
and made the motion government
question. Adiscussion ensuec, the
House divided, and the Government
were thoroughly beatsn-the Chan
celIor protesting against the resolu-
tons. Sir George Grey has announ
ced in the Commons that il is the in
tention Of the Government to stop all
Post Offices on Sunday, and an in
quiry was 10 take place, to seei if it be
not practicable to stop the mails al
so on the sabbath. This movement
has met with no favor from the ma
jority of the people
A new bill to limit the sale Of en-
numbered estates in Ireland, has
been introduced and twice read in
the Hoase of Lords. The object OF
the bill is to exempt from sale al es-
tates not mortgaged TO a certain
amount, and fixing the minimum.
FRAacB.-In the assembly the
bill for suppressing clubs and the po-
litical bodies has been voted for an
other year. The bill for legalising
the transportation of political offen-
ders has been passed entire as the
Government presented it, excepting
the classe which gave it retrospec-
tive effect. The bill for granting pen
sions to the families Of those killed
and wounded in the affairs ofFebru-
airy and June was rejected by
large majority. The reactionists
thus obtained signal result.
The bill granting pensions 10 the
deserving of the working classes,
when inirmities overtakes them,
was also passed by full house.
The committee appointed TO consid-
er the proposed great increase in the
salary OF the President, have not re-
commended acquiescence in the de-
mand. 1t is said, however, that the
leaders Of the majority intend vo-
ting for the bill. Notwithstanding
the decision Of the committee, a
sharp contest is therefore expected.
The Mountain is indignant at the
proposal, as they look upon this as
being only the first OF series OF
movements having for their end the
legalizing perpetual Presidency in
the person of Louis Napolean, who
has affected to take great offence at
the hesitation evinced by the CON-
mittee.
In a recent tour through the Prov
inces, the President was everywhere
well received. His speeches were
somewhat remarkable for their ap-
peals for popularity among the work
ing classes.
1t appears that in framing the new
Electoral Law, the President made
a great blunder. He never intended,
it is said, that the proposed changes
should extend to his election as well
as representatives, but it is so, and
it is only now he perceives his mis-
take. Another project of law for
lettering the press by stamp duty,
at present is engaging the attention OF
Government.
NJ. Theirs has left Paris to visit
Louis Philippe in England. The ex-
minister arrived on Thursday, and
was we'll received by the diPlomatist
and statesmen Of St. James. 1t is
said that his visit has deep politi-
cal change in view; he had an inter-
view with the President before leav-
ing Paris. A union of the two
houses OF the Bourbons, is said 10 be
the object OF M, Theirs visit to the
ex- King at London.
Girardin has been elected TO the
Assembly from the Lower Rhine, by
a large majority.
In regard TO the pending difficulty
with England, a well informed Par
is correspondent says: SIT is expec-
ted every thing will be arranged be-
fore Monday next, in order that
Lord Palmerston may be able TO re-
ply VIGOROUSLY, by facts, TO the
threatened motion of Lord Stanley"
The Globes correspondent writes
that Lord Normandy's efforts to
bring the Minister of Foreign Affairs
to some positive decision, had failed,
although matters were and are still
regarded as virtually arranged.
General Lahitts's party appears
to be waiting for favorable adyices
from Russia.
Ii is stated, on French authority,
that the Russian government has ad-
dressed a political note to the En-
glish Cabinet, repudiating the notion
