It is said that the French members are determined to have the matter settled in some other way than by Davit ameodmet i and that they refute to accept the made by Sir John Macdonald laat evinine tbat the passage cf auch a resolution would be tbe besc settlement. It i alio nnder ttood that if some satisfactory agreement is not reached there la a very strong possibility that parliament may be dissolved and an appeal mad to the cosntry. It is not expected ia any case tbat Bsautolcil's amendment will come to a rote, but that some other one on somewhat timilar line to those suggested by Mr.Blake may be moved in it place.

Thi morning ha brought no new develop-' menta in the ial language discu.tion except i the fact thatSir John Thompson has made np hio mind since last night to speak. Then be had no intention of doicg so, but something bss happened aince whicn altered his mind. Mott probably it was the effect of the eloquent (petch of Weldon, cf Albert, which was the most powerful plea yet mada for the abolition of French in tbe Territories.

Mr. Thompson will try to speak after McCarthy, and close the debate so far a the present aspect i concerned. Bat if McCarthy learns of this ha may defer his reply until after Thompson speaks. The situation is more complicated than ever, and it is impossible to predict what the outcon will be. IS THE HOUSE.

Mcit of y.sterday wsi consumed in debating the dual language question. lion. Mr. Laurier spoke first, lie charged that Mr. McCarthy's action was endangering the psace cf Canada.

The bill was pregnant with the old spirit of intolerance which always characterized the Tories. It was a declaration of war againit the French. McCarthy, in acting as he did, wa simply seeking to serve the Conservative party. The bill was only a prelud to an attack npon the French all along th line. McCarthy spoke cf following this np with ktAl.

fatal to the hcpa of forming a great nation bere. It was tbe opening of the flood gates cf pa, tioa which no human pa er could control. Whatever was tbe motive er purpose, it wa a national crime. lie did not impute hatred of French-CaoaCians as the motive which iu.ptlltd McCarthy, but if it was cot that, certainly McCarthy bad a queer opinion of that race and a low estimate cf it morals. Mi.

Laurier dwelt npon tbe loyalty of the Frenoh Canadian, and taid it it had cot been for them there would be no British Canada to-day. A the ion of a French mother he would cleave to hi language a he would cleav. to the life the gave him. Referring to education he (aid the French-Canadian wbo (lid not give a good English education to bis children. did them a grave Id jas.

tke. lie referred to the Ontario-tchoolj and to the fact that McCarthy not only insisted tbat the English language thould be taught, bat that no other one should be. He believed that all action irr the matter should be deferred until the time came for giving tbe territories the full powers enjoyed by province. Sir John followed in a very calm speech. He was not in favor of press iag one language 'on the people or rendering it inferior to the other.

It was quite immaterial whether Canada had been corquered or ceded. There was no paramount, no conquered race, they were all British, and these not English were not less British on tiiat account, lie regret' ted Laurier's attack on the Tory party, and 1 UUQttU tUt. Uil 11 1 TCI 1VM UWIU OTI.U the French race were passed by the Tories. He reviewed the hiitory ti 1844, when the Tcries voted to relia 'e the from tbe oppression of the radical govern- Trent of England by giving them the nte of their own language, and detailed the anti-Catholic crussde of George Brown, wbo denounced ths Frenoh law, tbe French language and the Cathclio religion. He bad cften been charged -with eelliog himself to tbe French.

It was, however, unfair to taunt him with owing his support to Quebec. He characterized Mr. McCar-t thy bill a an insignificant one, with the evil purpose of discouraging and depriving the French of the aolao of tbe language they had learned at the knee of their mother. Tbe bill was fa tile and wonld not faceted, and would require a Russian government to carry out its principles. McCarthy ha i commenced at the' wrong eoJ.

lie should have begun at Qaebce instead ot the Ntthweit, and convince tbem there by I peaceable roeaci that they thould give np 1 the Lngcage for the unity and peace of the country. When the tutchsr wanted to kill an ox be ttruck it cn the head, cot begin by catting at tbo tail. (Laughter.) The bill was l.ke tbe atfrg cf a goat, calculated only to irritate, II could cat comprehend why Mr. MtCartby had introduced the bill, as be was a very clevjr man. He agreed with Laurier largely, dubbed an I.hmaclite, and objected to Beausoleil's amendment because it kept the question alive, and would be a source oi otn Un cons ditqoiet and agitation.

Blake's amendment was open to timilar' objection. While soothing Oatario sed Qaebec, they should not arouse feeling in the Northwest. Tbe true solntion'cf th qfccstfoa ta quiet th feeling in the east and satisfy tbo in the west was in res lotion iaprlocip: somtthLig like Datin's.
