The approaching session of the French Chambers occupies the thoughts
of the politicians of Paris. TRIERS intends to go into active opposition. He will be supported by the Tiers-Parti, the Liberals, and the Carlists. Guizor, with more pluck than PEEL showed under very similar circumstances, has resolved to fight the Parliamentary battle in a Chamber that was last year devoted to his rival. Such is the influence possessed by the Government of the day over the Deputies, that it is considered possible for GUIZOT to find a majority to support him. There is talk of an alliance between the Duke of ORLEANS and a Russian Princess; but the rumour finds few to credit it.
The danger to the Orleans dynasty from the establishment of Don CARLOS in Spain, is seriously discussed in the Constitu- tionnel. It is assumed, that at least a most troublesome Vendcan war might be kept up, with underhand assistance from Navarre; while France would not be permitted to attack Spain under a legitimate Sovereign.
