It is understood that the French Ministry are desirous of
ex- tending the right of voting ; but that Louis PHILIP demur,, and points to the riotous conduct of the people at several of' the Eng- lish elections, as a warning against the introduction of an elec- toral system in which the masses have a legal right to interfere. No doubt, the King, who is said to have 200,000 places in his gift, the constituent body in France being now only 180.000, thinks it much more convenient to manage a small than a large number of voters; but the question is, how are the people most easily to be governed in France in the nineteenth century ?—by excluding them from participation in the Government ? It* Louts PHILIP thinks so, he, or his successor, may find out the mistake when it is too late to provide a remedy.
The report of the death of ABDEL KADER is contradicted. In some parts of the territory ceded by the late treaty to France, the inhabitants have turned restive; and it will require all the power and popularity of ABDEL KADER to induce them to submit to the French rule.
