HIGH WATER AT LONDON' BRIDGE THIS DAY. limning 51 minutes after G. I Eveninz l3 minutes after 7. o§uu. LONDON: MONDAY, JULY 12, 184]. Two of the Tory journal's., the Quartertf Re view and the London Standard,..have, within a short period, expressed the unmitigated hostility and hatred which the Tories continue to nourish against the manufacturing and commercial popu lation. On Saturday, the Morning Post, follow ing their example, though snore cautious in its language, evinced a similar aristocratic contempt cf the townspeople. On the nomination for the West Riding of Yorkshire, Lord MORPETH used linguage to this effect : Hostility is deprecated with America. I echo Crom my heart that philanthropic prayer, But to de vise new and additional guarantees for the harmony of nations : we have enough of fancied and trivial causes for war. Give rest and solemn motives for keeping peace. I fear that peace will never he long secured by the argu ments of philosophers, or by the reasonings of political economists, or by the praises of poets ; or Oven, I fe ar , as the world goes now, by the precepts of divines. We can't make the liOn lie down with the lamb, but We may c reate a profitable trade between the woollens of L ee ilS and the sugars of the tro p ics. We can't make mankind. beat their spears into ploughshares, but we can exchange ' the steel of Sheffield forteh harvests of Poland and the flour of America. I believe statesmen will never be so safe as when they act on general andt comprehensive principles. I believe that the whichm os effectual w way o f putting down the slave-trade,charg e d .be proving to . the slave-owner with encouraging, will that the labour of slaves is dearer the . l a b our of freemen. I believe that the best mode of ban a i l s l hing from each , other's the world the scourge of war, is to make b countries wish for each other's good, and . gain by welfare. Commerce, which . made'sometnm2s sub ject of a sneer, is not in itself civilization —is not in itself Christianity ; but I believe it is destined, in a great de gree, to be the channel and pioneer of both. On this the Morning Post observed — Now,. that we can exchange our manufa:otures for the produce of. slave labour in America, or of serf labour in Poland, although asserted so confidently, is a mere assumption. It is a begging, of a conAderable part of the question in controversy. But sup - posing it true, are we to. consider alone these matters 'ol` barter, and to omit altogether the high moral aul, national considerations therewith connected ? Is this worthy of a statesman ? Is it fit that a man of high station should seek an op portunity to sneer at phi!rysophy and poetry, and even " the precepts of divines: ' in order to enhance by com parison the possible Pdva,ntages of traffic in woollens and in steel ? We v,rant the advantages of such traffic, and no doubt thr,y will find sufficient advocates. But when a NoblentL an and a Minister speaks to the people, we :nay well expect that while allowing to traffic its fair share • of importance, he should not be the mouthpiece of vulg7r and degrading sneers against the very noblest which occupy the minds of men, and without which auttior:ty loses all its dignity, and subordinatiwi all its virtue. Our Contemporary, thea, considers the contra dictory verbiage which goes under the name of philosophy, the pretty prattle which youths lisp and call it poetry, and the polemical sermons which the ecclesiastical drum-thumpers shout forth on Sundays, and at Exeter Hall meetings, as the very noblest things which occupy the minds of men, and compared to which the daily tasks of clothing and feeding mankind, and ce menting peace between tbreign nations by com merce, are insignificant and worthless. That sentiment, or a sentiment like it, fi lls the minds of most of most of the writers for the Tory press. They are the toadies of the aris tocracy. They sit just below the salt at the social feast, and are always pandering to the illi beral sentiments and vices of the so-called great, that they may share their factitious honours. They are themselves quasi -poets and quasi -phi- . _ losophers, and naturally praise their- own par.. suits, however worthless to the *brld, as the noblest of all human aspirings. Not a few of them areiiivines, or have been educited by divines, and therefore they commit the mistake of supposing that what, divines say, however little consonant to reason, however alloyed with superstition, and however ineffica cious in improving or restraining statesmen, is the highest human wisdom. We cordially agree with Lord IVIoRPETH, that the " precepts of divines, as the world goes now," are very little likely to influence the rela tions of States. In fact, divines are here the servants of the State, and our statesmen never consult them or their precepts on any question of peace or war. But statesmen are the servants of the industrious classes, the Government is established in authority to protect the rights of the people, and the proudest of our rulers must, and do continually consult the commercial relations of the country whenever a great ques tion of war or peace arises. Moreover, those commercial relations have al ready done more to knit together foreign people in the bonds of peace, and extinguish national hostility, than all the precepts of all the so-called " divines," from GREGORY THE GREAT to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, that ever lived. Lord MORPETH is, therefore, correct in looking to the extension of commerce as the means of providing " additional guarantees of the har mony of nations;" and the Post only evinces the thorough contempt and disdain it, and all its pal ty, entertain for manufactures and commerce and for all their beneficial effects, more nume rous than we can recount, when it condemns the Noble Lord, and exalts philosophy and the precepts of divines into far higher import ance than " the traffic in wool and in steel." Sentiments of hostility to trade are common to the whole Tory party. They are equally manifest in the contempt of the Post and in the fierce hatred of the Quarterly Review and the Standard. Too many commercial and manu facturing communities, such as Leeds and Liver pool, have, however, justified the hatred and contempt of the Tories by electing Tories to re present them. If by their means manufactures should go still more to decay, and commerce should fail to increase, they may reflect, with some self-reproach, that they have lent their sanction to the doctrine that commerce , and manufactures may. be despised and sacrificed by statesmen, if they only encourage philosopV, , pcetry, and priestcraft. Lord STANLEY declared a short time 13 , fore the Parliament was „dissolved, that he and Sir ROBERT PEEL had for some time past freely communicated all their views to each other, and that they cordially agreed on all points. The Noble Lord's speech at Lancaster was carefully modelled, apparently, on Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech at Tamworth, and is to be considered of additional importance as an index to the pdlicy . which these political twins are to pursue. We have their united authority for asserting that they are bound firmly together, and though the world thinks that difference of birth, of natural inclination, and of bringing up, make them drag different ways, they are now running down their game in common. All writers of any note on political economy, and all persons who have reflected on the subject, are of (minion that trade should be perfectly free ; and scientific men will learn with astonish ment and dismay, that, under the Tory Govern ment, according to Lord STANLEY, free trade will' be considered. only " a clap-trap." Political sciefic6 Wilt weep to find that her noble preceptsic the most pleasing of all her deductions, are to be laughed at in the Tory Parlianient as mere clap traps, like the scenes of a theatre, to catch the applause of an audience. .. Lord STANLEY, after he had ridiculed free trade as a clap -trap, ridiculed the small reduc don prcposed in the Sugar duties. He did not promise to make the reduction greater when he is Colonial Secretary, but he would withhold it altogether, because it is so very trifling. At the same time that he describes the reduction as a saving of a fraction of a penny in a pound of sugar, he also describes it as transferring the entire trade in this article to foreigners, and stopping the cultivation of sugar in our colonies. The two conflicting statements are made to suit separate purposes, and the Noble Lord is too much carried away by the stream of his own vituperation to attempt a reconciliation between them. When he wishes to heap ridicule on the Ministers, he asserts that the reduction is only the fraction of a penny; when he wishes to terrify his auditors, he describes the paltriest of all changes as plunging in ruin our flourishing colonies. He is one of the'greatest masters of assertion that ever spoke. The Noble Lord having so satisfactorily to himself disposed of the Sugar question, and de monstrated. that the Tories will not lower the discriminating duty, proceeded to attack the Corn-law abolitionists: Here are some of :his words:— ou are told that you are to get the same quantity of bread for a shilling for which you now pay 18d., that you will purchase the 41b. loaf for 6d. for which you now pay 9d., and that this will be affected by the reduction in the price of corn. Now, the price of corn is by no means the single element in the p r ic e o f b rea d. I don't su pp ose that the miller will Ivor - 1( 4 1'0r less than he did before—(Hear that the baker' will work for less than he did before, or that the shopkeeper will content himself with a smaller profit. All these items remain the same as before, and they constitute one-third of the entire amount. Suppose four quarters of corn at 60s. a quarter, cost 12/., they will cost something more than 181. when made into bread. As, then, the whole reduction must' be effected' in the price of the corn in the first instance, or in the 121. item, if they reduce, .the price of bread one-third, it follows as a ne necessary consequence, that it must be effected by a re ductiOn of fully one-half in 'the price of corn, or a re duction from 60s. to 30s. per quarter.—(Loud cries of " near.") Suppose the farmer and landlord to have this commodity, so reduced in price, produce an income. reduced by one-half, without anv alteration in the quan tity of land under cultivation, hOw can the predictions of these " free trade" prophets be fulfilled,—" 50 per cent. reduction in the price of corn, and neither landlord nor farmer injured l"—(Hear.) Of course, all Lord STANLEY'S hearers laughed and roared prodigiously at this fluent wit. A more candid man would hare guarded,them from anoerroneous coneusion, by adding, that as the price of corn fell less capital would be required by the miller and the baker to carry on their business, and that a less sum of profit, though not a.al9yyey rate, would' tom e ou t o f every l oa f . At the same time, both the miller and the baker would gain on the whole by carrying on a much larger business with the same capital. Strange as it may se em L fo o o rd do S i T t n i m o • . EV's party optics, it is true that if tt influences the priceofmmunity, which many other things, be ob tained at a less cost, whether that arise from irn proved methods of Cultivation, or from bringing fbod from more fertile countries, the price may be reduced, even as much as 50 per cent., and both the landlord and farmer, far from suffering, is S e in ou ce ntr 7 , l 4 .s o , p tl e 7e r m a e y e b o e f n e fo fl i t )d by h - as th e fa r li e e d n u c i t n io n th . price cent. in spite of the law that was made to keep up wheat to 80s. per quarter. With that fall cultivation has been much extended, and both landlords and farmers have benefited by the reduction. The obvious reason is, that the food is obtained at a less cost, which is a benefit to the whole nation. It is quite plain that there are many more things in a Corn-law than ever were dreamed of by Lord STANLEY. But listen again to the Noble Lord : Suppose the rent paid for a farm to be 100/. a-year, and the produce 500/. The produce becomes reduced to 250!. by the proposed change. The landlord may lose 501. out of his rent—nay, he may lose 75/. ; but who is it that must lose the difference in the value of the produce, re duced from 500/. to 2.50/.?—(Enthusiastic cheering.) Who is to make up this loss of positive value in fixed ca pital embarked by the farmer?—(Hear, bear.) Who indeed? What fixed capital does the farmer invest in the land? He invests only the labour he extorts from the half-starved labourer, against' whom, by having the supply of food, he has a monopoly. But suppose that all the farmer's ex penses be lowered in the same ratio as the fall in the price of produce, suppose that the 2.50/. Ivill buy as much as the 500/., will the situation of the farmer be deteriorated': Now, it is ac, ;•emy to make one assertion as the! other, and we assert, on very good authority, that, by the re duction of expense for seed-corn, feed of working cattle, &c. &c., the farmer will gain more by the reduction of the cost of producing food, of which he is, by himself and by his servants, a great con sumer, than he will lose by the fall in the selling price of that part of his produce which he carries to market. We beg, then, to inform this really very ignorant, but really very vivacious and blustering Lord, that the fixed capital embarked by the farmer in the soil will obtain its due re• muneration after the abolition of the Corn-laws, as well as at present. Lord STANLEY goes on to assert, " as an un doubted fact, that as the price of corn falls the land will go out of tillage." He had not studied the Tamworth oration with care when he said that, because one of Sir R. PEE L ' S arguments was that cultivation was much extended, though the price of corn has fallen. But on what ground does Lord STANLEY make the assertion? The fact is that as the price of corn fhlls the farmer, whose liabilities remain the same, is induced to extend his cultivation, to be able to meet them. If, with the fall of price, manufactures extend, and the demand for food increases, the farmer extends his cultivation; and we must again telt Lord STANLEY that he utters the merest, most ignorant, and common-place twaddle, with a grave face, as if it were divine truth collected and sifted by the sages who have devoted nights and days to political science. On what ground Lord STANLEY, the Quarterly Reviewer, and a host of other equally competent persons, conclude that " whole districts," or " 2,000,000 acres," will at once be thrown out of cultivation by the abolition of the Corn-laws, even if that were total and immediate, we can not conceive. The authority generally referred to by them; is a statement by some Lord RUSSELL to the. farmers of•Bedtbrdshire. We have a great respect for the name, but we were not aware that his Lordship is a great authority in political eco nomy, and we day the assumption. The sup position is, that- a quarter of English-grown corn will be thrown out of the market for every quarter of foreign. corn imported. But every quarter of foreign corn must be paid for, and the permission to impart it, now so unjustly with held, would of neceS.sity set the manufacturers at work to pay for it. It is probable they would, in the first instance; produce too much, or set too many hands to Work ; but the permission to [ import corn, would infallibly make them pro duce more manufactitres than at present. Now, the whole number of fresh hands they set to work, would generate an additional demand-for food,, over and above the present demand. As this additional demand exceeded, as it might, the quantity of corn imported, equalled it, or fell short of it, more land might be cultivated at home. No alteration might be made in the extent of the cultivation, or some land might be thrown 6ut of cultivation. We beg leave to inform Lord STANLEY, who is really most ignorant of what he is most assured, that his assumption of Nthole districts to be thrown out of cultivation, by lowering the cost of culti vating them, is as arrant nonsense as ever entered the head even of an arrogant, self-willed Lord. A few years ago Lord STANLEY harrassed the poor tithe-payers of Ireland by sending flying ar tillery, or the waggon train, to carry off their crops. The same Noble Lord had no "repugnance to coerce the whole 'lrish people to obedience to his own arrogant opinions. And that same unre lenting Lord, in defence of the starvation law, which he acknowledged puts money into his pocket, had the impudence —we can give his un blushing assurance no other name—to say that free traders never take into account the cruelty of breaking through all the old. habits, the hard ship of outraging all the long-cherished feelings of'the people.-- Cruelty indeed, to rescue the landlOi•ds'.s,erfs,- and the landlords' tax gatherers, from a degrading dependence ! But the free traders do not, desire any such thing. They de sire justice, they demand that industry should not be interfered with, and if from obtaining justice the evil consequences which Lord STANLEY sup poses would follow, the blame be on those who like him commit the wrong, not on those who seek its redress. In one point Lord STANLEY'S speech coincides marvellously with Sir RO BERT PEEL'S. Both labour to defend the injustice; both bring forward all possible argu ments to support the Corn-laws, and both, there fore, convince us that the Tory Administration is to be formed on the principle of combining all the monopolists to rob and plunder the people by means of the law. When the Tories have made the law an object of universal abhorrence, how will they enforce obedience? That is a very important question, which they ought to answer before they take office on the principle•of corn. bitting to maintain a great system of lega plunder. The second part of she correspond ence re l a • _ _ Live to the affairs of the Levant has just been published, with a view to its being laid before Parliament. It embraces the official corre spondence of the Ministers and agents of the Great Powers on the Eastern Question from the 15th of July, 1840, when the Treaty of London was signed, till the 2d of November, being three days posterior to the date of the downfall of the Tx lERS Cabinet. This correspondence will es tablish some facts very mortifying to some of our Ministerial Contemporaries, and not a little galling to the Tory traducers of the Govern ment. To begin with the Ministerialists. The Morning chronicle has at this moment a corre spondent at Constantinople who repeatedly as serted that everything we stated of the enmity borne by Lord PONSONBY to the Pasha of EGYPT was false, and the Editor of that Journal has more than once in a general way repeated that assertion. We were not then at lib2rty to quote our authority for the opinion we expressed, but we knew it to be too good to allow us to pay any attention to the contradictions of the Chronicle, though worded in such a way as to appear to emanate from the Foreign-office. From the correspondence before us, it appears that on the sth of September, 1840, MEHEMET ALt, alarmed at the success of the Allies on the coast of Syria, informed the Consuls of the Four Powers at Alexandria, through SAKI BEY, that "he had accepted • the inheritance of Egypt out of deference to the decisions of the Four Powers, and to the orders of his benefactor the SULTAN ; but with regard to Syria his non-acceptance not 'being a refusal, his Highness considering his numerous services to the Ottoman Empire, is desirous of submitting a request on this . Subject, as well to his lawful Sovereign as to the Four Powers • and he flatters himself that his Excellency. RIFATI3.Ev (the Turkish Envoy) as well as the Consuls of the Four Powers, will have the goodness to communi- : cate it to their respective COurts." As the fleet was not ; giVen up, and the surrender unconditional, the Consuls refused to receive this_communication, and only five days later we find Lord PONSONBY writing in the following furious strain to Lord PALMERSTON : We received on the 7th the accounts of what has taken place at Alexandria between Mehemet Ali Rifat Bey. and th e C on . suls of the Four Powers. Your LordshipC has all this matter before you, and I have only to state that Rechid Pacha un derstands the reply of Mehemet Ali to be a refusal. His Ex cellency sent his private secretary, Nedim Effendi, to me this morning, to make known the contents of a copy of a letter from Mehemet Ali to the Grand Vizier, the letter itself not having been sent from Alexandria. The contents are a mere repetition of the old story—application for the possession of alt Syria, and boastings of services rendered to the Sublime Porte, and the often-repeated declarations of undeviating loyalty and devotion of Mehemet Ali to the Sultan. Nedim talked of affairs, and told me Rechid Pacha desired to depose Mehemet Ali. I desired him to assure Rechid Pacha that I thought the measure not only advisable but necessary, and that I wes in correspondence with my colleagues on the subject. Last night 1 had a long conversation with the Internuncio, and after examining the question with me, his Excellency seemed to concur in my view of the necessity for depriving Mehemet Ali of his post of Governor of Egypt; and his Ex cellency had the goodness to undertake to communicate with our colleagues this day, if I would write a note to his Ex cetlency stating my opinion, and referring to the conversa tion we had then been engaged in. I have done so this day. and will report the result if 1 learn it in time for the estafette. I observed to the Internuncio (and I had previously held similar language to Al. de Titow and Count t‘onigsmarek), that unless Mehemet Ali be deprived of the post he holds. by the authority of the Sultan, there must be incongruity and confusion in the state of affairs. Mehemet Ali, being the legal Governor of Egypt, has the right to issue orders to the Egyptians, who, on their part, have no right to examine into the tendency of those orders, and. they may be, and will be , directed against the Sultan's authority, so that the authority of the Sultan is to be employed against the authority of the Sultan, and the obedience of the subject is to be called for to sup port disobedience to that Power which they (the subjects) are ordered-to obey. The deposition of Mehemet Ali is necevary to place a block ade upon as proper footing. It will be something worse than absurd for the Sultan to order a blockade of his own port, that port wing continued by the Sultan under the Government of the man whose conduct is the real or establishing the blockade. And there ma) possibly arises.2l Of difficulty with foreign nations from the strange tiature and novelty of the blockade. The Übnvention provides for the present suppression by force of the transporting by sea, troops and illilitarY.,stbrO from Egypt into Syria, and that verk hat b*eik peif6rmed. Mehe met Ali, in Egyp t , 1 4 .6 Icing i er anything to fear from the Allies, acid. ntc.Y rest quiet there, exempt from the pressure of a Weltade which would probably ruin him. The Sultan alone can order a blockade, and I have shown that he cannot order one consistently with common srnse or with his Own. dignity, unless he shall depose Illehterillt There are etMr and various reasons why the deposition should take place, and one very powerful, which is, the vast importance attached by the Turkish nation to a solemn act of the sort done by the Sultan. This was shown the other day in the ease of the deposition of the Pachas of Syria, which wat held to be almost a decision of that question, because people are accus tomed to believe that such a formal exercise of the Sultan's power implies a confidence on his part in his possession of the means as well as the right to execute the law. The refusal of Mehemet Ali to accept the Convention is not expressed in words alone. His acts have declared it, for he has not delivered the fleet to the Sultan's envoy ; he has not given orders to restore Syria, both having been made in the Conven tion nominatively conditions to be observed by Mehemet Ali within tile period of time therein specified. The Turks will in a very few days have 10,000 regular troops ready to be sent to reinforce the 5,600 men already gone to Cyprus. The bubble of Mehemet Alt's threats to march lbra• him's army to the gates of Constantinople has burst • and it is evident that Ibrahim and Solyman have enough to do to main tain themselves in security in Syria. The Porte ought to take away the chance upon which Me hemet Ali relies for his escape from his present petit. The Porte has nothing to fear, and It is not exposed any longer even to a threat of attack ; and there is no sort of domestic danger, for all people have either sided with it, or have abandoned in despair the active support of Mehemet Ali. But this state of domestic affairs may be altered if the Porte exhibits signs of fear, and this is another motive for the immediate deposition of Mehemet Ali. Tho intrigues of Lord PONSoNEY Welt so Par success ful that the rierketttict of MEHEMET ALI was solemnly pronounced by the SULTAN, and read in the Mosque of San Sophia by the SHEIK-UL-ISLAM. His Lordship ap pears to have felt satisfied that he had completely ex tinguished the PACHA. But he was not sutiered to re main long under such a delusion: Ott the 15th of Oc tober Lord PALIkIERISTON addressed the following de-. spatch to Lord PONSONBY, in which his Lordship is quietly informed that he must sot about undoing all that he had done against the PACHA*I—• Her Majesty's Government having taken into consideration the act by which the Sultan deprived Mthemet Ali of the Pa ehalic of Egypt ; the bearings of that act upon the present state of pending questions, and the course which it may be ex pedient to take thereupon, have invi'ed the Representatives of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, at this Court, to ribmit to their respective Governments, that, undoubtedly, there is much force in the reasons which, according to your Excellmey's reports, induced the Sultan to take this step ; and that while, • n the one hand, this measure in no degree prevents the Sul tan from reinstating Mehemet Ali, if he should sreedity make his submission to his Sovereign ; on the other hand, it may operate as a powerful instrument of a moral coercion upon Mehemet Ali, by making him aware, that if the contest be tween him and his Sovereign should be prolonged, and if the issue of that c o n t es t s h o uld b e un t avoura bl e to him, he might lose all by his too obstinate resistance. That in this view, and in order to make the recent exerese of the sovereign authority of the Sultan useful towards effecting an early and satisfactory settlement of pending questions, it is the opinion of her Majesty's Government, filet it would be ex pedient that the Representatives of the Four Powers at Con stantinople should be instructed to proceed to the Turki.h Mi nister, and to state to him that their respective Governments, in pursuance of the stipulations of the 7th Article of the &pa rate Act annexed to the treaty of 15th of July, beg strongly to recommend to the Sultan, that if Mehemet Ali should at an early period make his submission to the Sultan, and shou'd agree to restore the Turkish fleet, and to withdraw his troops from the whole of Syria, from Adana, Candia, and the Holy Cities, the Sultan should not only reinstate Mehemet Ali as Paella of Egypt, but should also give him an hereditary tenure in that Pachatic, according to the conditions sprcifled in the Treaty of July, but liable, of course, to forfeiture by any infrac tion of those conditions on the part of Mehemet Ali or his suc cessors. Her Majesty's Government have reason to hope that this suggestion wit' meet the concurrence of the Governments of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, and your Excellency will accord ingly take the steps pointed out in this despatch, as soon as your colleagues shall have received corres p on di ng i nstruct i ons. If the Sultan should, as her Majesty's Government cannot doubt, consent to act upon this advice when tendered to him by his Four Allies, it would be expedient that he • hould take immediate steps for making his gracious intentions, in this re spect, known to Mehemet Ali; and your Excellency a n d Si r Robert Stopfo r d s h ou ld a ff or d the Turkish Government any facilities which it may require for this purpose. This, we think, for ever settles the question as to the personal hostility of Lord PONSONBY to the PAcHA. Henceforth the readers •of the Chronicle, and of the Globe,' which repeated the statements of the Chronicle, will know what value to set upon their semi-official con tradictions of the statements of better-informed journals. Tile portion of this correspondence which will annoy the Tories, relates to the contradiction which it gives to the pompous war preparations of France, and the inferiority of our naval strength. Early in October Count WALEWSKI, M. TRIERS'S friend, who had been sent to bully the Porte, had some of his gasconading remarks reported to Lord PALMERSTON by Lord PON SONBY. The answer of the noble Foreign Secretary is dated the 27th of that month, and contains the fol lowing passage. " I have to instruct your Excellency to state to the Porte that the language of Count WA LEWSKI, reported in your note of the 7th of October, was only meant to intimidate. France will offer no armed support to MEIIEMET ALt, because, by so doing she would place herself in collision with the Four Powers ; and neither her army nor her navy are strong enough for such a collision. By sea France is inferior to England alone ' • but much more so t o E ng l an d an d Russia united. By land she has not, with all her recent armaments, more than her full peace establishment under arms, and out of that force she is obliged to keep 60,000 men in Algiers ; and therefore she has not, and could not, for many months to come, have a disposable force to undertake a war against all Germany and Russia. But the retirement of M. TmEns and his colleagues from office is a pledge to Europe that France is not going to make war in defence of MEHECIET ALL All these con siderations; however, ought only to be additional mo tives with the Porte for making the best use of the time present, and for employing every possible effort to bring the war in Syria to a speedy and successful termination." All comment upon this extract is unnecessary. It is, now evident that Lord PALMERSTON early penetrated the blustering character of M. TRIERS. The Paris Journals of Thursday for the most part de vote their leading columns to the insurrectionary move ments now taking place in the different European pro vinces of the Ottoman Empire. The Republican Papers, such as the National and the Siecle, are in favour of the insurgents, but the Debats, and the organs of the Government generally, regard them as rebels against the authority of the Porte. As this question is one of the gravest importance, we shall take an early oppor tunity of expressing at some length our opinions upon it, for which space is wanting in our columns of to-day. Whatever the advocates of Established Governments may urge, we are prepared to prove that Turkey has lost her hold upon Europe. An express from Paris, of Friday's date, with the latest continental news will be found in another column. Subjoined are extracts from Thursday's papers : Ws find the subjoined news from Aden in the Malta Times.. —" The intelligence from this place (3d inst.) is of a very aatlsfactory nature. It was rapidly improving and increasing in population ; the number of inhabitants, including the garri son, amounting to 12,000. The fortifications were progressing, roads making, and many other improvements going on. In less than five years it will be the largest town in Arabia, and probably the richest. The Arabs, even since this last unsuc cessful attack in July, have remained perfectly quiet, and bring plentiful supplies. The troops were exceedingly healthy, and the Europeans more so than in any part of India where they are stationed." Our readers know that according to one of the clauses of the Convention, concluded on the sth of April, 1640, between France and the Grand Duchy of Baden, annual conferences are to be held, , alternately at Strasburgh and Carlsruhe, be tween the engineers of the two States, for the purpose of com municating to each other the projects for regulating the limits of the two countries. It is announced that the first meeting is to take place this year in the month of October at Carlsruhe ; the matters which are to be the subject of the conference is already prepared. Another object of this meeting is to lay down a general system for regulating the courses of the river. Mbniteur. The Toulonnais of the Bth of July publishes a private letter from Algiers of the 28th of June, in which we find the following passages : " The troops departed again on the 25th, as we announced to you. We has c received no news of them either directly or itt directly. General Bugeaud, too, does not send us any infor . - mation, and we do not know where he is. Be is, however, expected very soon at Algiers, where certainly no triumphant :reception wiil be offered him. Our population is very discon tented, and daily growing'poorer. Trade does not extend. he , yond the gates of the City ; in short, we are uneasy, and. un happy. " Our hopes are incessantly turned to the future, which ap pears to us under gloomy colours. Thus we shall ecntinue to vegetate, unless, as we are made to hope, a civil Government shall soon take the place of that which is a heavy burden on us. Some names are already mentioned, and that of M. Remurat is at the head of the list."—Le Commerce. 4 4 • - , ot A o's ; " 1 74 L 44 " • "1: ,4 ' FRENCH AFRICA. The Toulonna is of the 4thinstant brings intelligence from Algiers of the 29th ult. The Abbe Suchet, who had been. sent by the Bishop to negotiate with the Arabs an exchange of prisoners, and of whom no account had been received since his departure, returned to Algier on the 28th. The Arabs continued to commit all sorts of atrocities in the immediate vicinity of Algiers. On the 23d the hay belonging to Marshal Clauzel was burned on his farm of Baba-Ali, and eight mowers were carried away by the Arabs. Whilst the French were engaged in destroying Tekedempt, Abd-el- Kader, with his regular troops, had marched for Ain.Maidi. The sultan of the country, the brave Tedjini, summoned him to retire from Lis dominions. The Emir replied that he was determined, either by fair means or by force, to reduce him to subjection. A battle ensued, in which the calalry of Ted jini was said to have completely routed the regular battalions of the Emir, killing 'between 800 and 1,000, and taking the rest of them prisoners. General Bagaguay d'Hilliers again took the field on the 22d,• and was operating on the 27th in the neighbourhood of Milianah. The military hospitals of Algiers were encumbered with sick, and no less than 500 had been of late embarked monthly for Mahon and Toulon. A report pre vailed in Algiers that a civil Government would shortly supers sedc the military yoke _.which hitherto paralyzed the develop.. anent of the resources of the colony, and that M. tie ilemusat, former Minister a the Interior in the Thiers Administration, who has made his peace with M. Guizot, as to be appointed civil Governor. The Brasier steamer was to have sailed for Tunis on the Bth, with the new Vice-Consul of France in the regency on board. Fraakee, according to that journal, has now in the 11Iediterranean a naval force of nineteen sail of the line, of which three are three-deckers, six frigates, a great number of corvettes and brigs, and about thirty steamers. The flotilla of brigs,.'which the Toulonnais announced was fitting out for the Brazils station, was intended for the coast of Texas, where, in consequence of the dif f iculties which have arisen between the Piesident of the Republic and the Minister of France, Al. de Szligny, the presence of some French vessels of war was re quired. The Courrier des Etats Unis gives the following further account of the affair of the ship Charles : Where the eaptala of the steamer went on board the .Charles Ihe found the ship entirely abandoned. On a table in one o the cabins were ft* porter-bottles; nearly empty, and the froth of the beer *as still fresh: All {he baggage of the passengers, their clothes, &C., had disappeared. great quantity of blood Was found all aboilt the •4sSel and on the hulwarki of the ship, thiit some One; after h.Sing dreadfiilly wounded Most have been throwa Into theses. Theie eirctinistitneeg ldt dont t that a crime of the most horrible nature had been Cemniltted od board the Charles. After having carefully inspected all parts of the vessel, the captain of the steamer continued cruising about for five or six honri, horder, if possible, to disco pr Ihelong- boat of the Charles, and about ten miles Off he fell in With a jolly-boat which appeared to have belonged to that ship. There %tts dog in it belonging to one of the passengers, but nothing else was found. The animal did not seem to have been long aban doned, for when he was given some water he did not drink with 'Mich aridity; The Vrelich Consul at New Orleans has given a list of passengers by the Charles; who had taken out passports in his office, but it appears certain that there were several passengers who had not done so. There were among the male passengers one Spaniard and five French, and there .was a French lady, of Bordeaux, on board, Madame Veuve Petit, with her two daughteri." AtidititS.--4 fatal mistake df one of the outposts of Mos taganem has cost us the life of a brave officer the Captain of one of the companies of foot chasseurs ; four soldiers were else/ killed, and eight others were wounded. Th:s lamentable accident happened in the following manner. Our Smelas were returning from a sortie;accompaniedbyadetachment of the ehasseurs, when the soldiers of the battalion on guard, unaccustomed to distin guish our all:ed Arabs from the enemy, fired upon the party as it approached. The Smiles immediately dispersed, leaving the chasseurs, who were in the rear, exposed to the bullets of their comrades. Between the 19th and 21st about 80 head ofcattle, belonging to allied Moors and Arabs, were stolen by the. Kaby les, from the environs of the Maison Caree and driven off in the direction of Bassauta. On the 23d a quantity of hay, belonging to Marshal Causer, at Balba Ali, was set on fh . o by the Arabs, who also captured SiX Europeans and two Kabyles, employed in mowing.

CANDIA, JUNE IB.—The Greek insurgents have made but little progress in the island of Crete ; they have experienced some trilling reverses since our last accounts of the Bth. In the atta' they made on the fort of Castelli, the garrison, which had received reinforcepaents for Mustapha Pacha, drove them back. The convent of Ghonia in the bay served as an asylum for the families of the insurgents and the Greeks, and for three hours it stood a bombardment from the Turks, without suffering much injury. In the absence of the troops sent to Castelh, the insurgents of Mount Spha kia attacked the camp of Mustapha Pacha ; but they were driven back into the mountains, one Circassian chief, Dely Mehemet was wounded. The blockade of the Isle of Candia has been declared, except the ports of Canea, of Scide, Retiano, and Candia. The Lie of St. The odore is included in the blockade. Notwithstanding this, the insurgents continue to receive assistance from Greece and the Islands in the Archipelago. Tahir Pacha has pledged himself to the French Consul that the prisoners should not be ill treated, and that those slain on the field of battle should not be mutilated. BERNE, JULY 6.—The opening of _the ordinary Session of the Diet of 1841 took place yesterday. The President's speech dwelt particularly upon the revision of the Constitution and the suppression of the convents of Argover, expressing a hope that the latter question would be discussed with the same mo deration as that displayed by the Government of Argovia.

Our journals have been engaged for some days past in discussing the project of a commercial alliance be tween France and Belgium. All that we know of it is, that every morning the Independent contradicts, and the Industrie confirms it. , • The Commission appointed to inquire into the state of he linen manufactures regularly continues its important labours. For the month of March last the Minister of the Interior caused the Report of the Commissioners, on their visit to England to be published, which Report contains the most cnrious and useful information, and the state of the linen manufactures in England, Scotland, and Ireland. Now a magnifident volume is published, which contains the interrogatories which the Commis sion has proceeded with, from July 26, 1840, to April 29 this year. On the night of the Bth oe July a violent fire broke out in the manufactory of- Messrs. Pruyssenacre and Oerpoolen, outside the Ostend Gate of Bruges. The manufactory is entirely destroyed, only the bare walls remaining. The loss is estimated at 79,000 f. for the building, and 61,000 f. for the goods. The whole was insured. BRUSSELS, JULY 9.— AL Thiers and his family arrived at Antwerp on the Bth; and set out for Lille at four o'clock in the afternoon by the railway. Yesterday morning, between three and four, a dread ful fire broke out in ;he' great manufactory of cloth at Berchem, belonging to M. J. Termer. This fine esta blishment, in which remnants and waste pieces of cloth were used as the material, is wholly destroyed. It was insured for 250,000 f. By this calamity nearly 500 workmen are thrown out of employment. There is some reason to fear that this disaster is the work of an incendiary,-an attempt, it is said, having been made to set fire to the place three months ago. THE HAGUE, JULY B.—We have received the Java Papers from the 10th to the 20th of February. They contain Pie following intelligence : BATAVIA, FEB. 9.—Wc learn, that on the Ist of this month, the Hamburgh ship Louisa Maria, Captain Holmes, bound from Hamburgh to Batavia, was stranded off Anger. Though some hopes were at first enter tained of saving the ship, all the efforts mact'yfor that purpose were ineffectual ; none of the crew perisii,!!;,. and the greater part of the cargo has been landed in good condition at Anger. Accounts . from Kedirie of the Ist instant, say that in' the forenoon of that day the river rose to an extraordi nary height, and that soon afterwards a great number of old trees came floating down with such force, that in a couple of hours the middle half of the groat bridge, which was considered the finest bridge in Java, was carried away. The Resident there has received in formation that the great bridge over the river Brantas, leadino• to the chief town Toeloeng Agory, which was new-built last year, had been entirely destroyed, and the communication interrupted, the current of the river being very rapid. It is thought that the volcano of Kloet has thrown out a great mass of water, which has flowed through an old forest, and brought with it the large trees, and carried them into the river Brantas, THE HELDER, JULY 7.—This afternoon the Russian frigate Aurora, arrived in the Roads with his Imperial Highness the : Grand Duke Constantine on board.

PLANTS OF THE PHILIPI7NE ISLANDS.— In these islands are two plants which welt deserve to be inquired after by persons visiting them. Th,- . 7 are thus described by a zealous, but not scientific correspoijen , who has recently returned :—One is a raspberry, whi en t is found upon the summit of the highest mountain in these islands, 7,117 feet high. The beauty of its leaves, and its large yellow fine-tasted fruit, would render it acceptable to the horticulturists of Europe. The other is a noble lily-like plant, growing in small lakes, with strong upright leaves, some of which are eighteen inches in diameter. The flower is large, with close-set petals, from, four to five inches long; the lower part of the petals white, the upper a beautiful tlear pink, DEATH OF MR. PEREGRINE COURTENAY. —We regret to announce the death of the Right Hon. Thomas Peregrine Courtenay, brother to the Earl of Devon, under very distressing circumstances. He was on a visit to his noble relatives at their seat, Powderham Castle, and on Wednesday last proceeded to Torquay for the benefit of sea-bathing. On the following day, whilst swimming a short distance from the beach, it is supposed he was seized with cramp, and sunk to rise no more. The Right Hon. Gentleman formerly filled the office of Vice-President of - the Board of Trade and Commissioner of the Board of Control, and was for several years M.P. for Totues. He was in the 59th year of his age. In 1805 he was united to Anne, daughter of Mayow Meynell Mayow, Esq., of Syd9.nham, Kent, by whom he has left a family of thirteen children (eight sons and five daugh ters), all: of whom, with his lady, survive their melan choly loss.

It turns out, however, that Mr. Gurney was the party who shot at others, and had not been shot at. The following is Mr. Gurney's own version of the matter :—" Yesterday I had the pleasure of breaking up an ambush of two fellows, with guns pointed at me through a hedge. I got three shots ~,at them—unfor tunately the range was too long for my pistols. My clerk and I ran them into cover. The cowardly villains would not wait to exchange a shot with us. They were two of Gleeson'sgang."—Dublin Post. _ _ The Emperor of Russia has assumed the tide of " Defender of the Christians in the East."
