The French Government have issued the ordinance for the ad-
mission of certain articles of foreign manufacture, hitherto pro- hibited, which was mentioned as forthcoming last week. The ac- count which we then gave, on the authority of the correspon- dent of the Times, is quite correct in its details. Among the advertisements in the Morning Herald on Thurs- day, a long one in the French language attracted our notice : it was an address by LUCIEN B uo N A PARTE, to the electors of France, pointing out to them how little they have gained by the exchange of CHARLES the Tenth for Lours PHILIP, and entreating them to return members to the Chamber who will vote for the recall of the BUONAPARTE family ; the members of which, he declares, will join with the patriots attached to the ancient dynasty, the Republicans of the Directory and the Consulate, the Heroes of the Empire, in short with the men of old and young France, in endeavouring to obtain the blessings of liberty and good government. All this has a fine sound, but amounts to very little.
The late changes in the British Cabinet have been the principal subjects of discussion in the journals and salons of Paris during the week. The continued exclusion of the Tories from office ap- pears to have given general satisfaction. The journeymen dyers of Lyons have entered into a fresh com- bination against their masters: the gross ignorance of the work- ing classes threatens the commerce of that city with utter ruin.
