sir after the despatch which has this evening been read

with different degrees of feeling, subsised for wards Of
quarter Of century. At no period, however, has
been warmer more effective than under the present
rule We fought sioe by side with the French nation in
contest Of almost unexampled severity; have
bned with her in the management Of important affairs

are, in opinion, many eminent persons in France IA
vorable TO England, and that the feeling is gradually
spreading tse throughout the whole empire yet upon
the part of the great body Of the French people, there
lists not that reciprocity of sentiment in our regrrd which
should desire to see prevail. (Hear, hear What,
