GUIZOT. " You are," said the Minister, addressing the Noble Peer, " the representative of a spirit of intellectual and moral anarchy.--(M. DE MONTALEMBERT cried out here in denial, but was met with• a cry from the Chamber of ' Yes, yes, 'lt is true.') Yes, you and some of your Honourable Friends, are deplorable examples of an anarchy which glides into men's hearts, though, in general,, they are repulsed. What ! in the bosom of the Catholic functions, even amongst the priesthood, the spirit of anarchy can have penetrated so far as that the guarantees which please other nen revolt you, and appear tyrannical and unjust it is not a spirit of liberty that animates you, but a spit contrary to all liberty, as well as to all legal and constitutional authority." The Government journals have at last broken s'lence on the pamphlet of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, rid if Ave are to believe the ,fournal des Debats, M. THIERS was the cause of all the excitement which tHs singular publication has caused • throughout " The Prince DE JOINVILLE," says that joe-nal, "was President of a Commission formed by Minister of the Marine to investigate, certain special questions. He wished to give to his work a. precise form, and put down the result of his observations in a note which he, no doubt, intended for the perusal of his chiefs alone. lie afterwards communicated his views on the subject to some political friends, perhaps ex-Ministers. But, we have too high an opinion of the young Prince not to be convinced that he was an entire stranger to the singular mode of publicity that has been given to his note. We are sure that he must have been more surprised than any one at seeing it divulged; first, by small portions, and afterwards circulated in its full extent by journals and other periodicals under the influence of a former President of the Council, who regrets the past. We. do not think we are too presumptuous in taking upon' ourselves to affirm that the surprise - of the young. Prince was equally felt in a higher quarter. We, with the same respect, •believe that hei when finding himself thus engaged without his knowledge, and against his wishes, no doubt, yielded to an impulse, generous in principle, which leads young men into actions ; and that flatteries, the interested object of which his own heart and conscientious loyalty would not allow him to suspect, gave him a taste for that hollow popularity, the true value of which he has now already been taught. 7 The Arouvelliste Vaudois, a Swiss journal, pub.  We speak as we think, with utter scorn of the rrenu"acturers who are traitors to their own-. cause, folse to' their own order, and suicides of-their own rosperity ; bat there is little need of our pronouncing the sentence of their degradation when we know that they are contemned and despised by the very party to win whose hollow smiles they have sacrificed all respect for their own honnur,all regard for their real r*zerest, all possibility of an approving conscience for • t!-‘.eir own selves. For such prodigies of political proPiracy, for such unexampled courtiers of -degradation, for -such slaves of soul-inviting-chains, and soliciting rs,.there is zs little use in remonstrance as there rale hope of conversion. T-hey have set the seal to their`own sentence- of condemnation, and become ci,iesting witnesses that all the calumnies which the pzr.iy to which they have given their adhesion has Vented against the manufacturing classes are true, so frr as they are personally concerned. Such men !cove it a perplexing question to determine whether we have to deal with wickedness or with weakness, IV; iniquity or with insanity, with confessed knavery 'or unacknowledged stupidity.' Into such a discussion we should never wish- to-enter, for, in the one case, we sl-oold have to deal with men above the reach of conviction ; and, in the other, with men below the reach o 7 argument. _ We address ourselves then- solely to the landowners and farmers; we tell them what their own experience amp'v confirms, that every extension of trade has ras3d the rent of ground and enhanced the value of agricultnral produce—the manufacturer is to them the goose laying golden eggs; they have to decide in the present contest whether the value of land in South Lancashire shall increase or diminish ; whether de'ry farms shall continue, and extend or relapse to their original condition of moss and moor; whether the farmers of Lancashire shall hold -their present ad vantages with a prospect of increase, or be reduced to a more miserable condition than•any farmers in England.: The agricultural, not less than the manufacturing, prosperity of South -Lancashire is identified with power and free trade ; the equal ruin of both is similarly identified with ENTWISLE and Monopoly.  lishes a long account of the disturbances at Sion, in which it states that the forces of the Upper Valais have arrived at Sion, and have taken possession of it without meeting with any resistance. They are from 1,000 to 1,500 in number. They are followed by some thousands of other troops, all armed and. resolute. Each column has • a priest at its head. It is presumed that they intend to march on to the Lower Valais. On the other hand, M. MAURICE BARMAN, who arrived near Sion between three and four o'clock, on learning that the town was in the hands of the forces of the Upper Valais, has retrograded upoh Ardon, where he will wait for reinforcements. He will be joined by the columns commanded by Messrs. Joins and
