upon the table is formal sketch of o complete
measure, but as some Of it's leading features have
been already repudiated by all sections OF the
House, it cannot be deemed anything more. The
question for the rest of the week is, therefore, not
whether the measure -propounded can 6u accepted
as whole, but whether it is capable of such ma
nipnlation-by emitting provisions here, and IN IN
factory solution of problem which the House OF
Commons itself must take in hand x
We have before us, as We have said, nothing but
the sketch of a measure, which must undergo
great alterations to make it acceptable either to
Parliament or the nation, and where so much is
open to debate We look forward with much anxiety
to the result.
The Reform Movement Greatly Embar-
From The london Daily Nens, March 2o.]
The utter failure of the Ministerial Reform Bill
has plunged the question Of Reform, considered as
a subject for Parliamentary treatment, in greater
embarrassment than ever. After six weeks have
been consumed by the government IN O succession
of false movements, the House OF Commons finds
itself with q bill on it's hands condemned IN It's
principal features by every class of the public. No
measure affecting o constitutional character ever
had 80 many enemies and so few friends, as that
which the House Of Commons permitted to be read
a first time on Monday evening. The public nave
been for months looking for bill, which by settl-
ing the Reform question, should put an end to the
deadlock in the Legislature, and at the same time
restore unity to the country. And instead OF such
measure, Lord Derby and Mr. Disraei offer o
bill, one of the leading provisions Of which is the
dual vote-an exasperating and intoerable expedi-
ent for intensifyng prejudlces which are unhappl-
ly too strong already in English society. Not q
voice except Mr.. Disraei's was raised on Monday,
in favor OF this odious device for emphasizing class
pects the most ardent eulogist Of the bill, pro,
nounced it {" unmitigated mischief. 1t is most
strange that such ignorance ct the possibilities OF
legislation should be confided to the very select
circle Of Englishmen, who havs assumed the duty
of amending the constitution.
The London Herald Of the same date defends
the Bill, and animadverts somewhat severely
upou Mr.. GLADSTONE for his persistent opposi-
ton to any Bill not of his own framing.
..sg 49,. FRANCE.
The interest of the public is divided between
the great Exposition, which was opened on the
lst, the heated debate in the Corps Legislatif,
the reorganization of the army, and the rumors
of approaching war with Germany. The build
ing and grounds on the Champ de Mars are not
yet completed, and there are as yet but few ar
ticles on exhibition. No nation appears to
have completed its arrangemcnts-in fact not
even France. There are vast quantities of
goods, works of art, and objects of all kinds
awaiting unpacking. The Imperial Commits
sioners have been much blamed for many Of
their regulations, but particularly on account
of the parsimonious character of their mea-
sures There is much complaint among the
Commissioners of the several foreign countries,
who find that their respective Governments and
people are expected to pay high for the privi-
lege of placing their goods in the Emperor's
mammoth show case.
NJ THEIRS made great speech recently in
the Corps Legislatif, upon an Interpolation
on the foreign policy of the Government. He
was answered by NJ. RoUHER, the Minister, on
the 18th ult., and in the course of his remarks
was frequently interrupted by the leaders OF the
opposition THEIRS, JULES FAvRE, Err
NEST PICARD, EUGENE PELLETAN, PAUL BETH
MONT, BERRYER, and others. The scene was
of the most exciting character, and the Presl-
dent had great difficulty to preserve order.
Count WALEwsKI we see, has resigned that
position, and M. SCHNEIDER now presides.
We append the following, to give our readers
a specimen of IN exciting French debate:
8 M. Rouher was singing the praises Of the En-
peror; tracing the history of France from Louis
XVI. to 1860, and then continued:
The nation then freely and spontaneously pro-
claimed Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. After the 20
December it proclaimed him once more Violent
interruption on some benches.
M. Jules Fayre-Say nothing about the "a OF
December. [Great noise, cries and e1clamatlons J
NJ. Theirs [standing up and speaking with great
energy]-Leave it buried in obliyionl More vio-
lent agitation.l Do not awake such remem-
brances lGontinMTed noise. o,. nr.v bo calm,
and do not speak, unless you haye received the
usual authorization.
NJ. Thiers lin the midst of the noisel-Do not
speak OF the "a of December before those whom it
proscrihed. Loud cries Of ''Order, order.h]
The President Monsieur Theirs, you have not
received permission to speak, and therefore do not
address the Chamber.
M. THEIRS, still standing up, again pronounce d
some words, which were lost in the noise and agl'
The President must request M. Theirs to sit
do yn and be calm.
NJ. Rouher-M. Theirs interrupts me with VIC.

to. ['sYes, yes, and continued agitation.

NJ. Thiers-I appeal TO the Chamber.
M. Jules Simon-We appeal to Franco and to
public morality to be our witness. [Continued ex'
ctement.
:. The PresidenETho agitation OF the Chambel
prevents me from distinguishing the Interruptions
for if I did would instantly call the authors O.
them to order.
M. Rouher-I could only hear in NJ. Theirs In
terruptions the single word prescribed" :.
M Jules Favre-Yes, he was so, and contrary t!
law. lCries Of "order, order."]
The President demand silence, and | will Ger
saiply call to order whoever makes any interrup

Il. Rouher-I have to say to NJ Theirs that l hat

had been saved from anarchy. [Crles Gf Yes

NJ. Jules FaHre-E is you who violated the Ia"

And so on to the end fthe Minister'S speech
Petitions are coming in to the Emperor from
the rural provinces against the new Mliltar,

France has asked Belgium to enter into al
alliance with her. which question Belgium has
referred to England for advice. 1t is though
that the proposed alliance will be declined,
In regard to the attitude of France towards
Germany, the following will give some light:
The Ayenir National discusses the last 'step Il
advance" taken by the irrepressible Bismarck;
ssM. de Bismarck continues to anluse himself a.
the expense Of our statesmen. But yesterday NJ
permitted NJ. Rouher solemnly to declare tina
Prussia WAS le7s formidable to us than the defunc
Germanic Confederation. The Corps l4egislatl
took these comforting assurances, and voted as al
the world knows. This quietude was not destined
to last long. To-day NJ. de Bismarck INDUCES II
