The taking of St. Jean d'Acre has nearly terminated all
present interest in the Eastern question. Syria was to be left to the chances of war, and they have decided against the Pasha. Sub- mission to the Allies, with a good or a bad grace, is all that remains for him ; and a week sooner or later ill the announcement of the sure event, is of little consequence. This feeling imparts to the eloquence of other seven days' dis- cussion of Peace or War in the Chamber of Deputies, an air of burlesque, in spite of all the seriousness. The War party lose ground in the argument, but advance in boldness of pretension. Nutnerous amendments on the address are notified, and the day of the division must be near at hand. Meanwhile, we continue our outline of the debate on all ample scale. Any commentary will come best at the close.
