The foreign news of the week is scanty. In the
French Chamber of Deputies, M. TRIERS has demanded an extra vote of 1,200,000 francs for secret service money. He alleges the machinations of Republicans and Legitimists, which the Govern. silent is bound to discover and thwart, in justification of his demand. It seenis to be expected that the Chambers will grant the money, though not without considerable opposition. THIERS declares that he and his colleagues must resign, if beaten on this question.
The Peers have decided, that the prisoners whom they are about to try for political offences shall not be allowed to select their own counsel, but must be satisfied with those whoni the Chamber may appoint. This is gross and disgusting oppression, and prepares us to expect any iniquity at the hands of these time- serving creatures of Louts PHILIP. The Abbe de la MEststats and Mr, O'CONNELL are among the advocates whom the accused had named.
