The debate in the French Commons on the secret-service-money is

noticeable, as having occasioned the most signal display that there has yet been of the friendly feeling which is reviving be- tween France and England. Even M. DE LAMARTINE, the assail- ant of M. Gurzor, made out a sort of community of interest where he spoke of conflict. The Minister himself ventured upon the strongest terms that he has yet used in reprobating the absurd disposition to quarrel ; and the speech in which he did so obtained him a triumph, in the tangible shape of a majority of 89, in the Chamber that not long since rang with defiance of England. To that end, the speeches of Sir ROBERT PEEL, Lord BROUGHAM, and others in our own Parliament, greatly contributed: they not only inspired M. Guizor's cordial response, but they no doubt prepared the Chamber to receive it. It is most satisfactory to observe the growing influence of good-will and common sense in the relations of the two countries ; profitable and honourable alike to both.
