The debate in the French Chambers on the affairs of 

 Tahiti, for which the Opposition had made such formid- 

 able preparations, was cut short on Friday by the superior 

 parliamentary tact of If. Guizot. After allowing the 

 Opposition leader on that day to open his plan of attack 

 and divulge his case against the Cabinet, M. Guizot took 

 his opponents by surprise by presenting to the Chambers 

 an additional mass of documents connected with Tahiti, 

 all of which, he said, were necessary to the elucidation of 

 the question. The Opposition of course were unprepared 

 with any other plan and the debate was consequently ad- 

 journed to give time for the examination of the new docu- 

 ments. This check is said to have embarrassed the 

 Opposition, and it is generally believed that &*<*& 

 they may again incidentally refer to the affairs of laniti, 

 they will not attempt to make another systematic attach 

 on ground which has already proved so unpropitious. 

 From Spain we learn that the Government have begun .to
