ELEVATION OF SIR COLIN CAMPBELL TO THE PEERAGE
Sir Colin Campbell is to be raised to the dpnity
OF the peerage as reward for the great services in
the suppression Of the Indian mutny, and the cor
dial appreciation and gratitude of his country will
add additional lustre to his coronet. Granted that
| the great death-struggle almost concluded be-
fore Sir Colin Campbell took the field; that the
northwestern provinces had been secured for the
time; that Delhi had fallen; and that Outram and
| Havelock were still maintaining stout fight at
Lucknow,-the stability of all these successes de-
pended upon the ulterior action of the commander
in-chief Had Sir Colin Campbell made but one
false move in the game all would have been in issue
again.
One of his greatest claims to distinction is that
from the first moment he set foot Indian soil until
the departure of the last advices he has never made
false step. Deliberate in his preparations he has
ever been clear in design and energetic in action
1t should also be taken into account that to move a
large force with precision under Indian sky and
with Indian distances is no easy task Sir Colin
Campbell, however, not free to choose his own
times and places for action. The strong necessity
OF relieving the beeaguered force at Lucknow was
upon him. This to be done within a certain
time, or another massacre would have followed that
of Cawnpore. The relief of Lucknow taken by it
self, would have been an achievement sufficient to
make the reputation of General, but the more diff
icut portion of the task set before Sir Colin Camp
bell was to reach the ground in time.
There was so much to be organized, so many pre-
naratInns N hn ms rna1 IN ha cla araI
50 many divisions of the enemy to be kept in check
that it was only by miracle of good arrangement
that the scene of action reached before it was
too late. Then the manner of the relief is a mat
ter which will not be lightly forgotten in our mill
tary annals There are not many instances of so
important a success achieved in so complete a man.
ner, with such signal loss to the vanquished and
such perfect immunity to the victors A particular
feature of Sir Colin Campbelrs system of military
action which will cause his name to be universally
respected, is his extreme anxiety to spare the lives
OF his own troops in all cases where certain sacr
flee is not indispensable to victory
Bold himself, to fault, and on most occasions far
too ready to expose himself to personal risk, he is
more chary of the safely of his men than of his
own. We are not blind to the fact that long and
arduous task is still before Sir Colin Campbell but
he has already richly earned the distinction which
is about to be,conferred upon him. Long may he live
to wear it, and return to his native land in due
time when his task is accomplished, to enjoy his
well-merited reward.
.r.- .... FRANCE
The Noniteur of the 9Th, in its official columns,
publishes long list of new appointments in virtue
OF the recent measure of General Espinasse, Minis
ter of the Interior. These new appointments
include secretaries-general of prefecture 10
vice projects, and 80 members of the Council of
Prefecture.
PARIS, May 7.-Another adjournment of the pro-
rogaton of the legislative body has been determined
upon, and the closing of the session will not take
place until the 23d inst. .
The Constitutional publishes an article showing
the advantages to be obtained and the fortunes to
be realized by industrious farmers emgrating to
Algeria. As yet colonization by Europeans has
made very little progress in that colony.
Correspondence Of the London Tines
PARIS, May 5.-Every one is talking to day of an
incident said to have occurred at the reception at the
Tuileries on Monday night last. A Deputy named
Cally de st. Paul, who enjoys the two-fold advant
age of being wealthy capitalist and father-in-law
to of the Imperial Aides de Camp, made an un-
usually spirited speech in his place in the legislative
body during the discussion on the budget
Even after undergoing the process of filtration
in the Hoiiteur, the Grafton is one that would not
disgrace a member of really independent Legisla-
ture; we may, then, judge what it was as it came
from the lips of the speaker. M. de st. Paul while
protesting his sincere respect for the Constitution
and his hope that doubted his devotion to
the Emperor" and admitting that ''he had no right
to demand revision of the Constitution vet ex-
pressed his confident hope that of these days
the Sovereign would take the initiative in giving to
the legislative body little liberty in the e2er
else of its control the finances;' and contnu
ing in the same strain, he declared that the BUDGET
presented by the government 'was not the BUDGET
of the legislative body but the budget of the Coun-
Gil of State" ".
This occurred on the 27th Two days after a verv
silly paragraph appeared in the Moniteur, DENYING
there any truth in the rumor that the Minister
of Finance to go out; and adding, that f'the
fdence of the Emperor in NJ. Magne is still the
same and the attacks of which he is the object rath
er increase it than otherwise, for these have no
other origin than the impartial rmness with which
this minister performs his duties and on every ocea
sion defends the great interests which confided
to him." 1t thought at the time that the para
graph was meant as an indirect admission of the re
tirement of NJ Espinasse about whom, and not
about M. Magne, the said rumors circulated. 9th
ers believed it directed against the persons at
the head of the credit Mobilier.
1t is now ascertaned that NJ. de st. Paul vras tho
object aimed at. Be this as it NAV, the irritation
excited by the bold comments of the Deputv cyinc-
ing spirit of independence which is growing mn
in the Chamber, was very lively. On Monday night
NJ. de st. Paul presented himself with the other
Deputies, In the imperial saloons 1t is stated that
His Majesty took the opportunity to address a few
words to the Deputy. tie said he did not mean to
arrogate the right of debating the words Dep
uty should speak, or the vote he should give but
when Nj. de St Paul had presented himself to the
electors as government candidate, and had court
ed the interest and protection of the government
towards attaining his object he considered that the
government had right to his support
Nj. de st. Paul said something in reply; but what |
it was not stated but the manner in which his
plantations we're received did not seem to be salts
factory The incident was, repeat, the common |
topic of conversation to-day and yesterday. There
