REMARKS OF THE FRENCH PRESS.
[From the Paris correspondence OF tho London Times

PARIS, February 22.lt IL certain that the result Of
the division the second reading of the conspracyto
murder bill has been received in official quarters with
great surprise and still greater regret On the public gen
orally the impression is deep and painful yet among the
better classes may be found persons whose attachment
the imperial government does not prevent them from ad
mttng that the event will not be without it's use and
that il will teach people discretion and moderation
in future.
To diminish much possible the effect the pub
lie mind the ministerial papers recommended to be
moderate in their language and to avoid everything
which might add to the prevailing irritation The Nom
f"r has but short paragraph on the resignation of Lord
Falmerton, and says very truly, that the division of
Friday night by implies the rejection of the
bill nj. Auguste Vitu, in the ministerial Pays points to
that division tbe practical and living demonstration
of the consequences of parliamentary regime In the
country where it planted by the roots of tradition and
this demonstration does not accord precisely with public
morality. nor with the permanent interests of nations
The Constitutional refers in the following to the
publication of NJ. WaewBki's despatch, which 80
often alluded to during the debate
1.-The publication by the Wofter of the despatch ad-
dressed the goth January by Count Waewsd to Count
de PersgDy the object of certain observations diff
cult to account for The Moneut certainly had the
doubted right to reproduce this document the
of the day that it had been laid before the House by Lord
Palmerston, without waiting for the receipt in Paris of
the London journals with English translation of the
text 1t advisable that the French journals should
not incur the risk of altering the highly important
of this despatch by double translation This precaution
of the Monner Is justified by second fact which will
mention. The diplomatic documents emanating
from the French government distinguished by rare
quality they always drawn up in the clearest and
most precise terms Nevertheless speaker in the
House sought to discover in phrase of this despatch
accusation directed against England which repre-
sented raising political assassination to the dignity of
doctrine Bad faith is displayed in this method of tor
turing text which clearly declared that England had
fortunately become the refuge of the chiefs of party
which, in fact raises the doctrine out of political asssi
nation.
The Pays maintains that the Anglo French alliance is
above the vicsstudes of minister cabinet 1t says
Lord Palmcrston in spite of his advanced age, has
displayed of late years. the direction of the political af
fairs OF his country, the rarest gifts of statesman The
minister who entered public life by receiving from Lord
Caereagh the post of Secretary at War at the hottest
period of the struggle between England and imperial
France, had thrown oil all his old preudces and the
objections OF his younger days and his great sagacity
embracing the true interests of England and of Europe
had led him to become the most perseyering and the
most able defender of the French alliance Is IL for this
that Lord Pamerston has faen9 Are we to interpret
his fall az check to the alliance We do not believe
this The alliance loses in the noble lord q superior
mind and tried Devotion but this alliance rises superior
to persons to individual will it represents the in
teests of civilization and do not believe that single
party exists in England that has not inscribed the French
alliance at the head of its programme
The following is from the P,ssse
Those who have followed with attention the current
Of the discussion in Parliament also in the press and
out of doors, will attribute this vote to two different
lives The spirit Of opposition and the desire of giving
check TO minister's figure largely in this decision; but it
would be unjust not 10 record certain sentiment of pride
and of national susceptibility, which easily aroused in
England.
The Union says:
''Wc have always believed and we still believe that
in the present state of Europe ministerial crisis in Eng
land is event of importance the appearance alone of
which is of nature TO excite the most serious attention
of political men"
The Courier de Paris exclaims
For the honor of England, happy to dwell on
the regrets expressed by the London press at the vote
the amendment of Mr. Minor Gibson
There is faint in two political circles
of the probable retirement of NJ Walewslli from the
cabinet cannot say what foundation it rests but the
alleged Is that the party whom the responsible
y of the unfortunate despatch really rests is the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs. Persons who take this view of
the affirm that the Emperor merely gave general in
structions to prepare communication, such friend
might address to another and that the introduction of
any topic OF irritating character to be carefully
avoided, well any thing resembling demand
for change in English legislation If such iniunctions
given they do not appear have been exactly
red out. The Emperor cannot attend to everything
himself he only give general instructions and must
necessarily leave to others the task of putting them in
form l cannot say whether there is any intention of
disavowing NJ Waewsk, but the example Of NJ Bllault
adduced This minister said TO have also exceed
ed his instructions with respect to the penal law (Which
by the way, is before the Senate to-day and made it
more rigorous than intended by the Emperor and
the result was NJ Baults retirement from the ministry
