The Paris papers of Thursday discuss the recent events in
London— the Tower fire and the Exchequer Bill fraud. The .Presse and the Debats rather chuckle over such inroads on the resources of England. The National is more forbearing. The Charivari will not be denied its gibe- " When Ministers received intelligence of the fire in the Tower of Londoa and the destruction of 200,000 muskets, M. Guizot immediately wrote to the British Government to say that he would burn 400,000 in order to reestablish the balance of power in Europe."
