The Quotidiemie is a true jesuitico-aristocratical journal, but it often 

 combats under the standard of Bonapartism and Republicanism, for the 

 purpose of embarrassing and overthrowing, if possible, the present state 

 of things in France. Its influence is immense in the south and west 

 provinces, and particularly with the nobility, the clergy, and all 

 the partisans of absolute monarchy. The Quotidienne is conducted 

 with the greatest ability, and some of its articles, written against the 

 existing government, are very interesting, and standing on facts and 

 logical principles, produce a great sensation on the public in general. 

 It is for this reason that all the ministers who have been in power since 

 the revolution of July, have been very sanguine in prosecuting the Quoti- 

 dienne, whose editor, M. de Brian, has repeatedly been tried, and condemn- 

 ed to imprisonment and fine, and is still to be confined for more than ano- 

 ther year. But neither the assiduities of the attorney-general, nor the 

 severities of the jury, have yet deterred the editor from persevering to 

 attack the dynasty of Orleans, and all the consequences of the revolution. 

 It is very remarkable that, notwithstanding this paper is of the most 

 daring opposition, it often contains, before any ministerial journal does, 

 very important and interesting information, which can only be known 

 to persons who approach the king, and must be in the most intimate 

 acquaintance of the ministers. This seems to me to be a convincing 

 proof that some of the faithful servants of Louis Philippe are still in- 

 clined servire Deo et Mammonce. 



The Tribune is a journal which forwards more than any other Pari- 

 sian paper the movement party and the republican system. Its writers 

 and editors are almost all young men belonging to the secret societies of 

 France. M. Marrast, one of them, took a very active part in the late 

 revolution, and is one of the most violent members of the society of 

 the Amis du Peuple, and makes in this journal a continual personal war 

 on Casimir Perier and all the champions of the juste milieu. His his- 

 torical narration of the political transactions of the three glorious days of 

 July has produced a great sensation on the public, and has exposed 

 in a -clear light the duplicity and cunningness of many mock patriots, 

 especially of Casimir Perier. It is to be remarked that what he has 

 advanced has never been contradicted, either directly or indirectly, by 

 the partisans of Perier. The Tribune is much esteemed by all the 

 students of France, and exercises a very great influence on the lower 

 classes of the population of Paris. " The patriot king," and his most inti- 

 mate friends, are often personally attacked in this paper, and by written 

 documents and historical facts, they are exposed as opposed to the 

 principles of the present state of things. It is on these grounds that 

 the Tribune has been twenty-eight times seized, and its editors brought 

 before the jury. But notwithstanding all the endeavours of the king's 

 attorney-general in all the tyrannical trials, they have only twice been 

 found guilty of libel. There is no rumour circulated either on the 

 exchange, or in the public, which can injure the dynasty of Orleans, or 

 the ministry, that is not inserted directly in the columns of this journal, 

 and soon is known to all the lower classes of Paris. 



The Globe was founded about ten years ago by M. Dubois, a very 

 clever, and very studious gentleman, and for a long time has been the 

 best French scientific, philosophical, and literary journal. All the per-
