FOREIGN . France . Violent political agitations have prevailed during the last month in France , pecasioned hy the opposition of the Chamber of Peers to the liberal measures of the government . It is something new
to see the ministers of the crown engaged in conflict with a party whose avowed object it is to increase the power of the monarch . The Ultras ^ or violent monarchists , in the House of Peers , were a majority of 93 to 54 . To turn the scale , the government has adopted the
revolutionary measure of creating 60 new peers , by which it has obtained a majority . Of these new peers , there are 15 out of 23 persons , excluded by the ordinance of 1815 as suspected Napoleonists . All of them are advocates of liberal opinions ; many of them military men : and one , if not more .

At tf ismes the yelj of intolerance has been
again heard in the streets j but by the resolution of the Protestants and the vigour of the government , the assassins of 1815 had not , when the last dispatches arrived , proceeded beyond threatening ^ .

Both Catholics and ProtestatitsmWrnnee were , till lately , characterized by religious indifference . Nothing in England , struck a Protestant minister of Paris with more surprise , on a visjfc which he made two or three years ago to this country , than the
number of theological publications , and especially magazines , issuing from our press . In France , he observed , there was no controversy , nor was there a single religious monthly publication . Since the period of his visit , there has been a visible movement in the public mind of France , in
favour of inquiry and reform ; as a proo f of which , it may be stated , t | iat the Protestants have set up a monthly publication , entitled Archives du Christianisme ^ and the liberal Catholics another , under the title of Chronique Religieuse . The Protestant Magazine was established , we
suspect , at the instance of some zealous Calvin is ts in England , as a means of promoting- in France an * evang-elical * revival . It must , however , be differently conducted before it produces this or any
other eftect : the numbers of it that we have seen are very , meagre / The Catholics are more fortunate in their work , owing- principally to their Editor , the Abbe Gregoire , who is well known for his tajcubs and philanthropy . fiAfdiu Kepos *

the deep interest taken by the assembly in public questions , and of * the resolution of the majority to discharge their duty as guardians of the Charter . A popular English Journal ( The Times ) has natorally contrasted the fidelity of the French Chamber with the carelessness displayed in our own parliament , where , upon an
Ultras wished to alter , are at an eo 4 . The proposition of the Peers to that effect was rejected in the Chamber of Deputies by a majority of 56 votes , out of a total of 244 . The chamber consists of £ 50 members , and there are four or five seats vacant , so that not above one or two members were absent : a striking proof of
average of attendance , the gravest subjects are disposed of by one third of the members . The speech of the keeper of the seals in the Chamber of Deputies " tore the veil that concealed from public view the horrible assassinations that took place in the South of France during" the years 1815 and 1816 , and produced in the chamber an effect difficult to be
described . " Yet , the Dissenting ministers of London have been again and again , charged with aggravating these enormities / This is another proof that time is in alliance with truth * The preponderance of the liberal party in the Chamber of Peers is now decided : in a division on a question , calculated to try the strength of the parties , the ministers had a majority of 119 to 47 .
