The French papers are much occupied with discussing the Canadian

insurrection and its probable results, but offer nothing very original or wise on the subject. Evidently, however, they are not displeased that England should be involved in so disastrous a conflict with her Colonies.

The Opposition journals continue to talk magniloquently of the prospective performances of OUIZOT, TRIERS, and ODILLON BARROT in the Chambers. There are, as usual, reports that DUPIN will not be allowed to take the Presidential chair in the Chamber of Deputies without opposition ; and GUIZOT himself has been mentioned as a candidate. Overtures had been made to the Doctrinaires by the Ministry, and rejected. The successor to Marshal LOBAU, in the command of the National Guard, is Marshal GERARD. The appointment is popular.
