The Despatches from Admiral DUNDAS, eou taining *hat may be received as the authentic detail of the attack on Sweaborg, have at length come to hand. It seems difficult to understand the causes of the tardy publication of " the cor rect card" respecting this important and interest ing transaction. The -Gallant Admiral certainly seems to have taken it rather easily, and all per sons in any degree connected with the transmis sion of the intelligence appear to have followed his example. The bombardment commenced early on the 9th and concluded at half-past 4 a.m. on the 11th. There was certainly ample time to have prepared and forwarded a tolerably accurate account of the great event during the same day. The Gallant Admiral, however, rested on his oars for nearly 60 hours before he set pen to paper, or adopted any means to satisfy the very natural anxiety that prevailed in every quarter, respecting the nature and „extent of our success. We can conceive that there might be circumstances to jus tify .such apathy. If there had been very serious damage to the ships, or loss of life among the crews, it might in some degree explain the delay. But, fortunately, there was no such excuse ; and an accurate version might easily have been trans mitted before noon on Saturday, the 11th. The French Admiral lost no time. Be wrote the same day, and his accounts were published in Paris on Saturday morning ; while the full Rus sian account of the, affair was contained in The Sim, of Saturday ! Nothing, however, is heard from Admiral Dusnas until Tuesday—eleven days after the event !—and this although the chic features might without any extraordinary exertion have been known a week since. This will be readily perceived from the fact, that communica tions despatched from the fleet might have been received at Dantzic on Monday, and almost in stantaneously transmitted by telegraph on Mon day, so that a full abstract of the despatches might have been given on Tuesday, in place of the ridiculously meagre sta,tenseuts that were suffered to .appear. Without wishing to cast un necessary blame on Admiral DUNDAS, we must complain' of this very serious fault, and seriously ask—What is the use of the electric telegraph if it is not to be resorted to largely under such k exciting circumstances T The sane apathy wa long perceptible respecting intelligence from Sebastopol and the Crimea.. There are, however, no longer any just grounds of complaint in that quarter, :and surely Admiral DUNDAS m i g h t ceive a salutary lesson from the improvement* there effected. We regret to say that the success has been by no means so complete or decisive as, in the ab sence of authentic official intelligence, we were led to believe.. That much damage has been inflicted on the enemy, and with comparatively i jury to ourselves, is certai n . - trivial n- But, although a vast quantity of buildings and, stores of various descriptions connected with the arsenal were de stroyed, we are told by the English. Admiral him self that " the sea defences, in general, were little injured." Indeed it "formed no part. of plan to attempt a general attack by the ships ou the defences, and the operations contemplated b 1 ,7, the. (Frencl) Rear-Admiral and himself were limited to such destruction of the fortress and arsenal as could be accomplished by means of mortars." This moderate conception was so thoioughly kept in view that the "-three-decked ship, which had been . - moored by the enemy in No and defend the channel between Glistafirvard suffered to b e " w ithd ra wn and Bak- Efol.rnen ,'! was ' d,i r i ng th e '_night to a more secure position !" There was no a ttempt to diminish by so mu c h the 'Baltic- fleet of-the. AUTOCRAT. This may be, artti doubtless is, in direct accordance with the , instructions from the Admiralty ; but We do not tl4uk we were 4o_fortnuata to have such an officer now in command, wou l d b quit - e contented where there had been suck escape. But it - is scarcely probable that even NELSON himself, if now living, would, under the existing system, be placed at the- head of the Balticiket. So good a thing would not la , " to the atanbi a country clergyman. • But,- il i thiangh we must acknowledge cusselie:; greatly ..disappointed, there •has :been, aonsetbing ay.,so2plished. The Russians have had the resulti; of the TEr brovgh± 11:ma-to thei, .7 . ar3„. tiares,• THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, EVE:NIStk, AUGUSr 21, 185 E holds. They have seen the immense store of materials collected at such considerable expense completely destroyed under the very guns of the " Gibraltar of the North," which proved utterly unavailing for their protection, or even to inflict any -injury worth mentioning on the assailants. That they were thoroughly astonished at our suc cess is certain. It never entered into their cal culation that we could have done so much, and it is highly desirable, even if no great effort i 3 to be made, that they should receive a few similar lessons as to the practical con sequences of an aggressive policy, and should be made to feel the stern realities of war, which they have been so willing to inflict on their neighbours. It is said that Riga has also been bombarded, but of that we have no official intelligence. Revel still remains un touched, and even Cronstadt itself may receive considerable damage, although the larger vessels remain at a safe distance waiting for the foe that will not come forth to meet them. We shall await the next accounts from the Baltic with con siderable anxiety, in order to know the character of the hostilities for the remainder of the season, and whether anything is to be attempted during the few remaining weeks to redeem the inactivity and apathy of its commencement. " The Traveller in Italy"—to whom even the Times concedes almost three columns of its larger type, and to whose elevated political morality ii replies with red-tape arguments well worthy o Mr. FREDERICK PEEL—observes that " English Statesmen are a century behind the English people." The remark; indeed, is not new. Every enlightened measure of modern times has, as he adds with truth, been forced upon them by the pressure of public opinion ; and hence the obser- vation also has been forced from thousands of the most intelligent and active men in the nation, while struggling with the of the families born, as JEFFERSON used to say, booted and spurred to ride us. We of the present generation, however, have witnessed this dullness or obsti would turn your indignation against an Austro- Coburg policy to the account of Russia, and to the injury of Poland. Be straightforward and practical. Demand what you really want. Insist on Polish aid, and an honest energetic Ministry to use it. Do not go to sleep again during the pro rogation of Parliament to the tune of an autumn victory. Bomarsund and Sweaborg, perhaps the Alma too, were meant, not to hurt Russia much, be sure of that, but for a lullaby to you. Make a war song of them ; meet, speak out at once ; compel Lord PALMERSTON to follow them up. Be assured of this, we shall have no vigorous War without a vigorous people. Our belief is that the people and the Press could make another man of PALUZRSTON himself. The enemy returned our fire vi ry ken-kly with red.hot shot - and but, although their range was goed, the damage inflicted was c rnparatively ti,fliog, owing principally, to the excellent handling of the gun-boats and mortar vessels, the former being con• tinually on the move, and the latter hauling tad veering on their 400-fathom cable, as soon as they found the Russian shot falling too close to be pleasant. At 10.20 the first Russian magazine exploded, and a fire broke out in the Arse.:oal, About noon a second maga zine exploded ; an.a. at 12.15 a most terrific explosion took place, followed by a succession of minor ones. The force of this was so immense tbat a battery of guns em barbate was literally blown to pieces by it. At 12.40 more magazines exploded ; at this time, the dock yards, arsenal, barracks, all the Government buildings, storehouses, &c., were burning furiously. The sight was most grandly imposing. The yards and poops of the line-of-battle ships were crowded with the ex cited "tar's," who cheered vociferously after every explosior„ as only British sailors know how to cheer. To add, to this frightful din, the liners Cornwallis and Hastings, and steam frigate Anaphion, opened their broadsides at the same moment ; and, as if to crown the whole, the Arrogant, Cossack, and Cruiser chimed in with this bloody chorus, by commencing a heavy fire, with good effect, on a large body of troops which they chanced to espy on a small island to the eastward of the fortress. The cannonade continued with little abate ment up to 8 o'clock p.m., when the gun-boat recall was hoisted. Several of the mortar vessels were also found to be injured from the quick and inces sant firing, and, bad to be brought out to undergo repairs ; those, however, which were not damaged still kept up Vaeir fire, in conjunction with the French mortar 'oattery, until 10.30 p.m., at which hour the rocket boats from the fleet went in and kept up their part of the performance until daylight. The scene deAring the night was grand beyond description ; the whole of Sweaborg appeared one mass of flame, the rockets and shells adding not a little to the awful splen dour of the fiery landscape. At 5.30 a.m., on the 10th, the fire again opened from our whole line, and continued throughout the day, at the end of which little appeared left to be done ; all the mortars, French and English, were more or less injured. Some idea, however, of the services rendered by these vessels may be gathered from the fact that during the two days' bombardment not less than 1,000 tons of iron were thrown into a space of about hal f a mile in diameter, and that upwards of 100 tons of powder were expended. This, incredible as it may appear, applies only to the English mortar vessels, and does not include the quantity (which was •equally large in proportion) used ►by our gallant allies on that occasion. On Friday night, the 10th inst., the rocket boats again went in and played with great effect. On Saturday on firing took place, and Sunday was a day of rest. On that day everything was quiet and in rep .se ; even the mighty deep bowed in reverence to a holy influence, and was still. The tolling of the bells at Elelsingfors was distinctly to be heard ; the dull and plaintive sounds, mingled with the strains of sacred music from our men of-war, came floating over the calm waters, and offered a strange bulb soothing contrast to the noise, turmoil, and excitement of the two preceding dayr. O❑ Monday morning, the 13th instant, the two fleets got under way, and returned the same day to Nargen. having performed in a❑ incredibly short space of time, with comparatively no loss, one of the most glorious ex ploits recorded in modern times, and proving, that with the judicious application of the great maritime power and means at our disposal, how mistaken those are who imagine that great deeds can only be achieved at enor mous sacrifice of human life. This expedition also proves beyond a doubt that the proper and only arm of attack which can be brought to bear effectually against the strongholds of Russia is the mortar and gun vessel, provided, however, that these are always supported by a due proportion of large ships. The unparalleled success which has attended the arms of the Allies on this occasion, is mainly to be attributed to the excellent arrangements and great foresight of the Allied Com manders, and to the skill and unwearied exertions of those under them ; too much praise cannot be bestowed on the officers in command of the gun-boats and mortar vessels. Our Marine Artillery has also shown that, in skill and knowledge they are second to none. The subjoined order of the day, issued by Admiral Dundas, immediately after the bombardment of Swea borg, will sufficiently establish the truth of the foregoing remarks : " GENERAL MEMORANDUM. " Duke of Wellington, off SweAborg, Aug. 12. "'Tie Commander-in-Chief is anxious, on the present occasion, to convey to Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, K.C.8., to the Captain of the Fleet, and to all the cap tains, officers, seamen, and marines of the squadron, •spe cially to the Royal Marine Artillery and those employed in the gun-boats, mortar-boats of the squadron, his sense of the zealous and creditable manner in which they have executed the various services allotted to them, by which a very important success has been obtained, and severe in• jury inflicted upon the naval resources of the enemy. " The Commander-in-Chief congratulates all upon the success of their efforts, and will not fail to represent to the Lords Commissioners of the Admizalty the services which have been rendered. " R. S. DUNDAS, Commander-in• Chief." When the Allied fleets left Sweaborg on the morning of Monday, the 13th, what little remained of that for tress; once so renowned and formidable, was still on fire, having burnt, almost without interruption, during the space of three days and a half. nacy of statesmen only as the delaying cause o domestic improvements. The stupidity of Lords in office was provoking ; still it was not ruinous. We could wait awhile till the tide rose sufficiently high for the Dame PARTINGTONS of Downing street to throw down their mops in despair ; and some will have it that Catholic Emancipation, Parliamentary and Municipal Reform, the Repeal of the Corn Laws and Free Trade, were all the better relished and digested because of the lone chase we had had to catch them. It is even asserted, in defiance of THOMAS CARLYLE, that statesmen must always lag behind their people, it being their business to introduce and carry out the measures for which public opinion is ripe. Whether Mr. CARLYLE be right for times of peace or not, we will leave him and the Repub licans to settle ; but for the time of war no ques tion but his CROMWELL is the model man. The present moment shows the correctness of Prince ALBERT'S and Mr. HALLAM'S judgment, and their delicate and exquisite taste ix excluding his statue from those which were to commemorate, in the Senate House, the governors of England. What blushes, if statesmen can blush, has the exclusion spared. When any of our Cakineteers, or their underlings, were lourishing away about carrying on the War " with vigour," what a speech would it have been for Mr. ROEBVCK only to have pointed to the statue of CROMWELL. The mere imagination of such an administrator in charge of the Russian war,—with our mechanical means, our ships, and our soldiers and sailors of the same stuff as when lie smote with them the despots of his age, as with " The ervuill of th© LORD and GIDEON "--verily it must have forced their little ness, littleness both of mind and heart, upon their own sight. We must have Ministers ade quate to the occasion in war, however we may make shift with waiters on public opinion in peace. Money is flowing out like a river, and disease and the rifle destroying valuable lives by thousands, while one Minister prates of peace like the first JAMES, and another tries to be as witty as the Second CHARLES.. Timidity and humour, however, will not purpose to bring Russia to her knew. , , to convert her stolen territories into an eternal bulwark against her barbarous ambition, and make our soldiers and sailors feel that they are sent out by the enemy's hearty enemy, and superintended by a mind alert to everything which could harass the foe. All our Ministers in this War have been miser ably behind their work, because they have been s behind the people. Their paltry policy has para lysed what ability they had. Had they shared the people's wishes they would have been other men. Think or Lord PALMERSTON, the Prince's German connexions not obstructing him, scouting an Austrian alliance with the same contempt as his countrymen—think of him resolved to omit not a march or a cruise which could harass the aggressor—think of him seeking every honest ally, Poles, Swedes, Circassians, all who had smarted under the butcheries, conscriptions, or oppressions of Russia—think of him determined that not a naval or military force should be wanted adapted to each locality attacked—ima gine such a purpose in the mati, and can we doubt that by this time not only Sweaborg, but Oronstadt itself, would have been shattered by our gun-boats and mortars ;,. Sweden would have \ joined us, seeing us determined to resuscitate Poland ; and in the Black Sea our. unopposed nuvy - would have laid in ruins . _ every town and .fortress within - reach of shot and shell. Generals and admirals always catch the spirit of the Minister they Serve. CROMWETL'S command era imbibed his spirit Lord T) ;ALMERSTON'S have caught his.

This is the account of the, vole pOiition: It explains money and men, Oships and guns, superabundantly offered and pro vided ; it also explains— e verything too late— routine commanders—Lords and striplings pro nioted and rewarded with good-service pensions— merit dying unhonoured, and living unused Indian troops and officers thrown aside for the silliest etiquette—Austria in the Principalities — Russia each year unhurt in the Baltic till too late to.follow it up, and spared in the Black Sea till our soldiers have felt it twice in LIPRANDT'S cavalry, guns , and rifles—Poland despised while eager to fight for us, and Austria caressed while befooling A. heartless Government explains it all.

A Vienna letter of the 15th, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—"The accession of Spain to the Western Alliance is now considered certain.

But it is also believed that this will not be the only accession, and that it will be followed by that of the Scandinavian States.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO PARIS. PARIS, MONDAY. The Queen left St. Cloud this morning at half past ten for Paris, visited the Exposition of Fine Arts, lunched at the Elysee, and received the Foreign Ambassadors. In . the course of the morning her Majesty visited the Sainte Chapelle, and also the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Here her Majesty was received by the Archbishop of Paris, who pronounced a discourse. The royal party then visited the Hotel de Ville, followed the. Rue Antoine Bastille, and returned by the Bo u e nat. -- (Front the Moniteur.) Their Excellencies the Ministers, the Presi dent of the Legislative Corps and the President of the Council of State, had the honour of being presented to-day, at three o'clock, in the Palace of St. Cloud, to her Majesty the Queen of Eng land and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, by his Majesty the Emperor. His Excellency the President of the Senate, being absent from Paris, was not able to be present at this presentation. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. Her Majesty has passed the whole of the day privately at St. Cloud. We stated yesterday that she would come to Paris at 11 in the morning to attend Divine service at the chapel of the British embassy, and this was the arrangement, but last night Dr. Hall, the chaplain, received a command to proceed to St. Cloud this morning to read prayers and preach before the Queen there. Pro bably the unexpectedly late hour at which her Majesty arrived at St. Cloud last night rendered this change in the arrangements necessary for her convenience. The performances on the occasion of the Queen's visit to the Grand Opera, on Tues day, will commence with selections from Verdi, Halevy, and Moyerbeer, in which all the principal singers of the company will appear. There will afterwards be a ballet, at the conclusion of which " God save the Queen" will be sung by the whole strength of the company. No augmentation in th• price of places will be made, but this is a fact of small importance to the public, inasmuch as every seat has been long since taken. At the Opera Comique the stalls usually charged 6fr. will cost 25fr. THE BOMBARDMENT - SWEABORG. ( From the Special Correspondent of the Times.. ) DANTZIC, AUG. 17. The Vulture (6), Captain Glasse, arrived in the roads at about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. She brings the weekly mails from Nargen, to which place the Allied squadron returned on the 13th- inst. On the 7th August, at 9.30 a.m., signal was made from the flag-ship, "Outward and leewardmost ships' weigh." The fleet, consisting of 9 British line-of-battle ships, 13 steam-frigates and sloops, 16 mortar-vessels, and an equal number of gun-boats, sailed from Nargen, and after a pleasant run of five hours, anchored at a distance of about 5,000 yards from the fortress of Sweaborg. In the course of the same evening the French fleet joined, and immediately commenced throw ing up a mortar battery on the island of Langorn, situate some 2,050 yards to the north of the cluster of five islands which form the principal part of the fortress of Sweaborg. During the Bth both fleets were busily employed preparing for action ; the mortar vessels were towed into position, about 3,70 yards from the fortress, with 400 fathoms each of cable to "haul and veer on,' as circumstances might require. This arrangement' proved of the greatest advantage, and much credit is due to the originator of this excellent idea. The line-of- battle ships remained in the sane order they had at first anchored in. The steamers Ma gicienne, Vult ure , an d Euryalus took up a position in rear of th e mor t ar vessels, for the purpose of being ready to give them and the gun-boats an , , assistance they might require.

" St. Petersburg, 20th.—General Gortschakoff writes from the Crimea, under date of the 18th, 9 p.m. :—The enemy commenced the bombard ment at break of day yesterday, and their fire, which we returned with great vigour, continues to-day." The Moniteur contains a further list of mayors and deputy-mayors appointed by the Emperor to different towns and communes, in execution of the law of May 5, 1855. The Queen of England, the Empress, and Prince Albert took a drive in the Bois de Boulogne yes terday afternoon at about half-past 5 o'clock. Their Majesties returned to the Palace about 7. The Ministers, the President of the Legislative Body, and the President of the Council of State, had the honour of being presented by the Empe ror yesterday, at the palace of St. Cloud, at three o'clock, to the Queen of England and to Prince Albert.. A vast number of persons went down to St. Cloud yesterday in the hope of seeing her Ma jesty. We read in the Moniteur :—" Some journals have erroneously announced that on the occasion of the ball to be given at Versailles by their Impe rial Majesties to Queen Victoria, the Park was to be opened to the public and illuminated, and that the grand waterworks would play. The fete to be given to Queen Victoria at Versailles will consist of a ball and a display of fireworks, which will be let off on the piece of water called Des Suises "_ The Moniteur publishes a decree modifying the import dUties on articles connected with basket making, of whatever vegetablo.Substance they may be made, and fixing them as follows :—ln the rough state, by French vessel -4, Cfr. per 100 kilo grammes, foreign vessels, 7fr. ; peeled, French vessels, 12fr., foreign, 14fr. ; cut, French vessels, 20fr., foreign, 24fr. Letters and journals have been received from Guadaloupe and Martinique up to 28th July. All was quiet in these two colonies at that date, and the sanitary condition satisfactory. The Akhbar of Algiers, cf the 14th, says :—" The packet which left to-day for the East had on board a number of relations of Abd-el-Kader, who are gone to rejoin the ex-Emir, with a numerous suite. During the last few days 1,000 head of cattle have arrived. at Algiel's from Tunis. It is scarcely a month since the Bey of Tunis removed the prohibi tion which existed relative to the exportation of cattle. This supply will, no doubt, he followed by others. It is a fortunate circumstance for us, as it will probably lower the price of butchers' meat, Viewed in another light, this arrival of cattle from lunis,across regions hitherto unreduced, gives an important idea of the existence of our friendly-relations with the Regency." A letter of the 11th from an officer on board the French fleet before Sweaborg, in the Morbitewr de la Flotte says :—" This time we may truly say we have done something ; Sweaborg has been really bliint,not on paper, but with flames which lasted two days, and rose to a height of upwards of 100 feet. It was a horrible spectacle, I can assure you, and it was melancholy to think that those volca noes were not only swallowing up the arsenals o f the Russian government, but likewise the little all of poor . people, who, perhaps were ignorant of the nature of the question at issue.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Prince of Wales and Prince Royal, arrived at the Palace of St. Cloud at a quarter before 9 o'clock last night from Boulogne. The Emperor of the French received the Queen at Boulogne, and accompanied her Majesty. The Queen and Prince were attended by the Mar chioness of Ely, Lady Churchill, the Hon. Mary Bulteel, the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Marquis of Abercorn, Lord Alfred Paget, Major-General the Hon. C. Grey, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Lieut.-Colonel Biddulph, and Mr. Gibbs. The Earl of Clarendon is likewise in attendance on her Majesty as Secretary of State. Lord Cowley met her Majesty at Boulogne, and re mains with Lady Cowley on a visit at St. Cloud. Divine service was performed in the Palace this morn ing before her Majesty and the Prince, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, by the Rev.

NEW ACT ON MERCHANT, SHIPPING.—On the day of the prorogation an act received the Royal assent to facilitate the erection and maintenance of colonial light houses, and otherwise to amend the Merchant Shipping Act of 1854.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg contains an ac iount of the operations of the Russians at Sebasto pol up to the Ist August, but it contains nothing of any striking interest beyond what we had been already acquainted with. The same journal con tains a report from General Mouravieff of the 13th July, in which he gives an account of several re connaissances made from his camp in the neigh bourhood of Kars. but in which nothing had taken place beyond some trifling f*ki rmis h es between his advanced posts and the Bashi-Bazouks. A letter from Warsaw, of the 11th, in the Mili tary Gazette of Vienna, says :—" It is positively stated that the Emperor of Russia will towards the latter end of this month proceed to Sebastopol, with his brothers Nicholas and Michael, in order to convey in person to the army the expression of the gratitude of his late father, as he verbally pro mised to do." The Vienna correspondent of Voss's Gazette writes, under date of the 16th :—The Turkish Am bassador, Arif Effendi, had a long conference the day before yesterday with Baron de Bourqueney and Lord Elliott, in which he communicated to them a long despatch received by him from Con stantinople, giving an account of the defensive measures adopted by the Turkish Government in Asia. The Austrian Ambassador to the Court of St. Petersburg: was again received yesterday by the Emperor, and afterwards was present at Baron Bourqueney's grand dinner, on the occasion of Napoleon's fete. The Emperor and Empress are going to Is-chl on the 20th, where they will stay until the 25th of next month." The Austrian Gazette of the 16th says :—" M. do Fonton, Russian ambassador at Hanover, ar rived at Berlin from Vienna on the evening of the 12th and has since proceeded to his post. It is considered in diplomatic circles that the appoint ment of this statesman to the post at Hanover, marks the commencement of a new phase in the iiplomatic activity of Russia in the north. M. de Fonton is deeply initiated in the intentions of his Court, and particularly in the political combina tions of. M. de Nesselrode, and his long residence in Germany has made him perfectly acquainted with German affairs." The Post Ampt Gazette, under date Vienna, 16, says—" The negotiations between the Lloyd's Aus• trian Company and the Government are on the point of being brought to a conclusion. The Go vernment, it is said, is disposed to grant to the company an annual subsidy on condition of its un dertaking to give greater extension to its relations with the Levant, and establishing a direct line of steamers between Trieste and Nor,li America. The company has just been authorised to issue on the Ist January next 10,000 unstamped new shares of 500 florins each. The stamp duty, amounting to 20,000 florins (the florin is about 2fr. 50c.), is to be paid at once into the general receiver's office at Trieste." ITALY. A letter from Geneva of the 16th states that the old soldiers of the 4i epublic and of the Empire, now residing in that canton, assembled as usual on the 15th to celebrate the St. Napoleon. More than 200 persons, among whom was General Du four, sat down to dinner. M. Zanole, who was in the chair, proposed a toast to the memory of the august chief of the Imperial dynasty, and another to the health of the Emperor Napoleon 111., which was drunk with the most enthusiastic applause. The success of the Allies in the Crimea was also proposed, and received with all due honours. The Opinione, of Turin, announces that General Garibaldi, who defended Rome against the French in 1849, has obtained from the Piedmontese Go vernment his nomination as captain of the first class ; in consequence of which he has been en trusted with the ultimate command of the Ligure and Salvatore steamers, belonging to a private company. lIER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO PARIS. (From Mcssengcr.) The Paris papers are naturally occupied with copious details of the interesting event of Saturday in the arrival and reception of the Queen of Eng land, to the necessary exclu , ion generally of lead ing political or other matter of less present impor tance: The Pays alone, with commendable tact, turns the fortunate circumstance of the day to ac count in an article of reminiscences and roll ctions, in happy combination, which it is calculated to suggest. It says : "At the moment in which we write an immense fact has taken place in the history of our time. Paris entire is all about and astir to welcome with its enthusiastic acclamations the Sovereign of the three kingdoms. A prodigious cone urse of strangers has invaded its boule vards and pours in from all its streets. The flags of the two nations mix together in the air over a space of nearly three leagues. Never has human power been sa;uted on its passage with more sympathetic greetings. Never has the meeting of sovereigns given to the world more radiant hopes. That which is passing is not in fact a vein spectacle. There is in this unanimity of asimeted neavement of sentiments, of spentanei us enthusiasm, a different thing from a curiosity satisfied. Nations no longer content themselves with woat attracts the eves. Their interests, their convictions, their need of civilisation and progress aspire to mere solid guaran tees. The nations of modern times require acts which shall not he sterile. manifestetiene which bear their fruits, material greed , urs winch at the same tine are moral grendeurs. The entry el the Queen of England into Paris Is of this number. The national eagerness Of which she is the olject has nothing comparable to it in the history of the two peoples. It is the (nowt complete triumph of the policy of civilisation inaugurated at Bor deaux in a famous speech it is the realisation tee most lifelike, the most wiexpected, the most marvellous of that programme sf the new which has re-assured Europe and the world —‘ Toe Empire, It is peace.' Let, us re call, in fact, the strong distrust which separaeed us from England scarcely four years since. Unfortunate pre judices had succeeded leading the British press and opinion astray upon the glorious legitimacy of the new Government. They doubted our dignity, our good faith, our sincere love of peace and of the independence of States. A kind of moral crusade was preached on ate other side of the Channel against our pretended pro jects of invasion. France has answered these suspicions only by the moderation of her external policy and the prudent hardiness of her internal reforms. It has not re quired a long time for the most practical people in the world to comprehend that this work of re-organisation excluded every idea of conquest, and that peaceful civili sation had not a more powerful auxiliary than the Napo leonist empire re-elevated by popular suffrage. To-day the union is complete, indissoluble, and invincible. That England, so proud of her traditional liberty, so jea lous of her privileges and of her influence over the rest of the world, arose one day as one man to welcome with her hurrahs the nephew of her most terrible enemy. The sovereign of three kingdoms and of 200 millions of subjects has held out her hand to the proscript of the dayebefore, become the glorious elect of a rival nation, and has not hesitated to give him, in the sanctuary of the Knights of the Garter, the place which before was filled by the autocrat of all the Rua-ia,s. Already the friendship of these two peoples was sealed on the same fields of battle. The heroism of their sol diers had dissipated the last antipathies and excite I mu. tual devotedness. That which is now passing is but the consequence of two years of political and miliiary con fraternity. The entry of her Majesty Queen Victoria into Paris effaces eight ages of mutual hatred, and com mences.the new era of the pacification of the world Such is the real signification of this till now unheard of fact, of a Queen of England receiving the hospitality of France and of the Emperor, and traversing our gar -iaisheti)oulevards amidst enthusiastic hurrahs from two millions of breasts. That is a great epoch which wit- xtesseazuch spectacles. - _ Moral progre4s _ is on a leVel with i n dustrial progress. The sentiments of the two peoples are mingled together, like their interests, like their gigantic enterprises, like their military glory, like all that constitutes the life and splendour of indivi duals and 'of societies. Rirone excited could not believe in this intimate solid-srity. Russia had never even conceived an alliance possible, and it was there lay the capital error of the Etuper,r Nicholas. What will Russia, what will Europe say, "n herring the marvellous recital of these fetes t All eyes are at this moment tui'Utql towards Paris. Htr Exhibition at tracts in '1 riads o f peoples ; the character of her government has con quered general respect for her : theexistingwartiveiihet all the pre-tige of glary ; foreign kings have already come to render hoinal,e to her genius ; there was waning to this unique coneour-e the presence of the heiress of Edward 111 and of Henry V. The heart of civilisation beats to-day to the heart of France. We have for us the right which emanates from God, and the force which comes from the two peoples, We offer to interests, as to principles, the guar:l.:tee of our alliance and the co operation of our solidar ty. Europe will comprehend that the-time of antiquwed suspicions hiss passed, and that Tinning can hencefoith prevail against the united standards of France and Ea :Mod." A very c•irious and highly interesting volumo of the works of the late Madame Girardin is about to be pub lished. TILE FLOATINq BATTERIES' , ~ stO r t -e- FALMOUTH.
