The freedom with which the papers speak OF the
Government is very remarkable, and IS the sures'
index of the feelings Of their readers. The Ma
,ionar openly supports the claims OF the Duke de
Bordeaux. The French Pretender, and during his
tour in England. published regular bulletins OF his
proceedings. The Steele says boldly that, un-
der the present government ere marvelously com
bined cunning and volence;' and II declared IN re-
ference to the ministerial demand for million OF
francs for secret service money Ito pay the police
and the other spies and traitors whom they are
ashamed or afraid TO acknowledge, that The safety
of the Government of July depends on a profound
change in its political course, rather than on an ex'

The Tahiti affair has raised tumult OF ndigna-

TO bear n close crown instead of an open one, made
this little change accordingly. admiral du Petf
Thouars, who commanded the French feet stationed
10 establish the French Pro,ectorate' Of the Sand
wch Islands, thought his country insuled, and TO
revenge her wounded honor he took possession OF
the Islands with great flourish in the name Of
France On the arrival Of the news in Europe, the
English were very indignant, and the French Min
istry, after little hesitation very properly disa
sowed the gasconade of the hot-headed Admiral
Then arose shout of Indignation from every part
Of France, and the chorus of all was that the Guizo
Ministry had in this act obeyed the suggestion o
England This was the sore point. The self

their hated rival. Hinc WG lachrymG.' Napo-

This shows the temper of the people, all the enhu
4asm being inspired by their hatred and jealousy f
England. The King and his Ministry like Crest
Britain, but the great body OF the people, as find
from my own inquiries well us from the journals,
detest her with cordial understanding, of kind
which is lust the reverse Of that which Guzot de-
clared TO exist between the two Governments.


The Ministers are trembling for their places. The
war party, headed by Thiers, is in moiion, and is
urged on by all the noisy, turbulent, and unrelect
ing hot-heads Of Young Francs The Ministry
narrowly escaped defeat upon the question ofvot-
ing by diriS;on US in England, instead ofby show
OF hands present. They opposed the change
because they feared the light according TO the OPP
posiiion and when the question was put to the vote
the decision was twice declared doubtful, and al
last resulted in their favor by n majority of only 6
in 354. Lamartine was right again in saying,
Look at the course of the Government in foreign
affairs, and say il the overthrow of the Ministry and
an absolute change OF system is not approaching

elections will return ie the Chamber OF Deputies n
war majority agains, the Ministry, although the votes
are far from fully representing the people, since the
elective ranchisc is SO restricted that such man
as Chate0ubriand the honored veteran in literature,
does NOT possess the necessary qualifications TO en-

Louis Philippe, with wonderful tact and COM
plaisance, does every thing in his power TO soolh
the people. The gorgeous funeral OF Napoleon had
this aim, and he is now executing plan which will
require three years more for its completion, and

affair conceivable. In the Court Of the Hotel des
