The French papers are chiefly occupied with speculations as to
party movements in the next session of the Chambers. The Ministerial newspapers affirm that the Opposition is composed of discordant elements, and that Count Moms needs not fear a sus- tained attack upon his Government. He must expect annoyance, but is not in danger. On the other hand, the Opposition profess to expect the overthrow of the Administration. To the French people the result of the party struggle can be of small moment : it is but a question of pay and patronage, for the policy is Louts PHILIP'S, and lie will remain his own Prime Minister.
It is said that DUPIN is out of favour at the Tuileries, and that M. TESTE will be the Ministerial candidate for the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies.
Some interest has been excited in Paris by the rumour of a nego-
tiation between Austria and France, with a view to the with- drawal of the troops of both countries from Italy. But the National warns the French Government that the evacuation of
Ancona would be an unpardonable sin, and that the Ministers who sanctioned it must expect the punishment of treason. The sugar gneation is still discussed, but appears to make no progress.
