LONDON, Nov. 14. rgpFJE Paris journals to Thursday's date have been 1i r'reivcil. Tho. of Wednesday confirm the opi- nion lint the new Ministry had already secured the support or a 'arije mnj.iri'y in (lie Chamber of Depu- ties, and that an increased disposirion was evinced by all parties thai the a Hairs of the East should be ad- justed without resorting to hostilities. The speeches of M. Thiers and M. Guizot, with regard to their foreign policy, are in perfect contrast: the former, as painted Lv himself, stands out from the canvass in all the de- formity which iiiii).trt to incapacity (in the el'ated situation !:e has just ceased to occupy), in respr ct o Eastern a hairs asul die incidents growiii-; out of them, he was a fleet to treat merely to tiiii-I and his resol'-e was to plunge into war the moment when be should have been led to believe that his state of preparedness justified himself in the slightest de- cree, and which period was to have arrived next spring. If thu statement of M. Thiers is calculated to excite disgust, that of M. Guizot will produce satisfaction. It rather broadb. states that war is not deemed proba- ble bv the Government of which lie is a member. M. Guizot and his colleagues are of opinion that the war- like preparations of r ranee already completed are suf- ficient -in other word?, that they rely upon the re- establishment of friendly relations with the Powers parties to the treaty of the 15th of July. The dif- ference between the late and the present Administra- tion," observes a privare Ierfer, "is, that the former considered and endeavoured to render war inevitable, and that the latter regards peace and good feeling as capable of being re-established between France and her neigh bours, and are determined to use all proper means to ensure that result." The Commerce states, that a few days after the installation of the present Cabinet, Marshal Soult sent an officer to Alexandria for the purpose of impressing on the mind of the Pasha of Egypt the necessity of not exceeding the limits of simple defence if he desires that France should inter- fere in his favour to induce the other Four Great Powers to grant to him the hereditary government of Egypt; and informing him, that in the event of his assuming the offensive, the French Government will abandon him to his fate The same Officer, adds the Commerce, takes with him the letters of recal for M. Walewsky. The papers of Thursday contain the fol- lowing Circular, addressed to the French Diplomatic Agents at Foreign Courts by \1. Guizot. After a short preamble stating under what circumstances the Crown had called upon him to take the direction of the ex- ternal relations of the country, M. Huizot then reviews tbeteauingprinciptesof the policy adopted as relates more especially to the Eas ern"question — The policy of the King's Government with respect to the East, as everywhere else, had for its object the pre- servation of peace. Peace is in its eyes the surest, and perhaps the only guarantee for the independence and inte- grity of the Ottoman Empire. It was under this conviction that the King's Goverinent repelled the employment of coercive measures and fo eign assistance to regulate the division of territorial possessions between the Sullan alld the Pacha of Egypt these means appeared even contrary to the object proposed, and calculated to shake the foundation of the Ottoman Empire, and to trouble the peace of Eu- rope, than to strengthen those objects. It considered that a pacific compromise, which could control the pretensions of the different parties, would alone he advantageous to the superior powers of Europe, as well as to those of the east, and that the influence of the European powers exercised with this view ought, sooner 01 later, with equity and pie- serverance to succeed. The King's Government was con- sequently justified in keeping aloof trom the convention, which was signed or the 15th of July, which might for the purpose of arranging a minor affair, give iise to the most serious events in the east. It considered, at the same time as a vigilant guardian of the dignity and interests of France, that it ought to place the nation in a position to maintain its rank, and to encounter the chance which it foresaw and de- plored. Such have been the sentiments of the King's Government in the position which it has taken. It does not disguise fi oin itself, the consequences of the isolated position which it finds itself, and which causes serious inconvenience likewise to all Europe, because every enterprise of a Eu' ropean character is exposed to the chance of remaining im- perfect without the concurrence of France. Bnt if, on the one hand, there exists no doubt of the honour of the con- tracting parties to the treaty of the 15th July, on the other hand, the King's Government could not sacrifice that independent policy which Is suited to the French nation and it confidently expects that, seconded by the wisdom anti firmness of the nation, the King's Goverinent will maintain peace, and be ready for every coniigency. I invite yon, sir, to regulate your language and demeanour in conformity with the views of the King's Government. Make those views be understood on every occasion which may present itself. A policy so consistent with the interests of Eu- ropean order must gain ground acconling as circumstances shall bring it forward. The King's Government will know how to wait for those circumstances. GUISOT." The Ex-Queen Regent of Spain arrivcd in Paris on Sunday, and was in the Palais Royale.-The funds declined slightly on Wednesday on the Paris Bourse, in consequence of the calamitous accounts received from the Provinces of the damage caused by the late dreadful inundations. The intelligence received since our last from Spain possesses considerable interest. The Madrid Junta, pre- viously to its dissolving, drew np an address to Espar- tero, requesting him to dissolve the Senate. To this address Espartero replied, that he was determined to adhere to the constitution of 1837, and would, there- fore, only consent to the re-election of a third part of the members. Seeing the determination of the Re- gency, the Madrid Junto did not persist in their re- qust, but expressed their satisfaction with the re-elec- tion of the third part of the Senate; and the public tranquillity, which was atone time threatened, has thus been fortunately preserved. The Provisional Regency published its programme on the 3d inst. It is signed by all the Ministers, and expresses the most vigorous determination to adhere to the constitution, and to leave to the Cortes the task of proposing and adopting useful reforms. The Speech of the King of the Belgians, upon open- ing of the Chambers, has been received in this country. It dwells upon matters of little interest out of Belgium but it is, however, decidedly pacific. The King says at the commencement:— Gentlemen-M y relations with the different Powers continue to be satisfactory. The circumstances which have occurred to threaten infringement of the harmony existing among the Great States of Europe make me feel more sensibly the value of that good intelligence. The position of Belgium is determ ned by Treaties, and perpetual neu- trality has been solemnly assured to the territory. My Government his neglected no opportunity lor making knowu the importance it attaches to that guarantee. We expel ience on every hand, with satisfaction I declare it, nothing but sentiments of cordially and respect fur the principle in- scribed in our public law. Neutrality is the true basis of our policy. Of this we cannot too strongly feel the convic- tion to maintain it sincerely, faithfully, and firmly, ought to be our constant object."
