POSTSCRLPT.
S ATURP.M The debate in the French Chamber of Deputies, on the address in reply to the King's Speech, was unexpectedly closed on Thursday. The :Ministers suffered every paragraph to stand without alteration. An attempt was made by Genet al Bec EAUD to soften one clettie which seemed to imply censure on the Government ; but the Chamber would not listen to him ; and the orieinnl address, drawn up, it appears, by Dome himself, was voted by a ;mai:miry of 2a6 to 39.
The Ministers appear to halve acted discreetly in yieldiog a point of
no real importance. lied they opitosed the address, it is not impro- bable that they would have bean left in a miaority, by ajouction of the party of DUNN with the Cerlist and Liacral section of the Opposi. tion. It is said now to be their policy to adjourn the session till November, in the well-enounded expectation that the Tiers Parti 16(1 recover its obsequious habitsand again swell the Ministerial majorities. No real benefit for 'aroma: is to be expected from the recent schism in the Government ranks. Our correspondent 0. 1'. Q. (o hoe letter this week does not possess sufficient general interest for publication), is probably right in the view he takes of what is goiag on in the C liauthers. It is all cajolery : " all those Ministers and Deputies," he ,arz, " are trying to cajole us."
