In the Rritish p2rlianen nj it was Thought
that the vo,e Of censaye moved by Mr. Roe

We should think there would be no hope
f,r the present Min issry after the account
OF the late reverses had reached London,
and would not be surpris ed 10 End thai ad-
Ministrativc reform will be carried to an ex-
tent beyoad the desires Of the reformers Of

nightly to demand the head OF Walpoie.
The people OF England arc becoming some
what tired OF these KIND il resormers who

strongly conservative, wh.n the one had
been made Lard Advocate Of Scotland, and
the o,her Lord High Chancellor of England:
they are tired Of those flaming patriots
who seorch Us in the meridian. ba, sink
temporarily To the west, and are hardly felt

Emperor Louis Napoleon, show upon what
yulcanic foundation French affairs are stu
sted. The attack was said 10 be of an apo
plectic nature, and ihough it might be sup /,
posed that tn. Emperor's former hfe woold /
dispose him to give the greatest Indulgence
to his appeiifes when he has such ample
no caus at his disposal, We see il stated that
his habits are not o.ly temperate, but border
upon abstemioasness. and that he is as in
dustious and un.iring in attention to bus!-
