The consequence was, that de spite the domestic troubles with which she was so frequently beset, England was really and truly " merrie England"—a land which could boast as hardy, as industrious, and as happy a labouring population as any recorded in history. Is that the ease now ? Can it now be said with any truth of this country, that her operatives are cheerful and orderly her peasantry obedient, contented, and grateful ? Let the midnight vagaries of SWING, and the rapid spread of Chartism, which is nothing more than the voice of the poor man's despair, make an.. sorer to this question ! The higher and the middle classes have much—very much to answer for, in hav ing so long and so perversely neglected the interests of the lower orders. If the peasant is alienated from the landholder, and the operative from the manufacturer, it is the latter, rather than the former, that are to blame for such estrangement. When men are treated as slaves they will exhibit the vices of slaves—when they are treated as raere machines, they will exhibit the insensibility of machines. To draw forth the kindlier and nobler feelings of their nature rr yett - must treat them with respect—with forbearance—with humanity. This is not only an act of duty, but an act also of the most consummate policy, since there can be no sure guarantee for the permanent tranquillity of a country where the * vast mass of the working classes are kept in a state of subordination, not from respect nor gratitude, but solely from an apprehension of punishment. Fortunately, the higher and middle classes of society are at length awakening to a conviction of this truth; and we do hope and be lieve that the period is not far distant when the poor, oppressed workman will no longer be able to say with any truth, that he is treated with neglect and insult by those who should be his best friends and benefactors. are convinced, is too stout and constitutional a citizen ever to allow the late PRESIDENT'S flimsy pretexts to veil from the eyes of his countrymen the real objects of personal ambition and sordid self-aggrandisement Which have been assumed in order to conceal. He then puts the "annexation" question home:-- "I speak my convictions without concealment, not for the north or the south, but for the Union, as an Ame rican citizen. As to this proposition of enlargment of territory, I would ask, for what interest of our country is it designed ? What good is it to effect to the people at large ? In regard to the measure, I have no hesita tion in saying, my opposition is neither temporary in measure or character. It would be the same in the con tingency of the assent of Mexico or without. Strip the question of all disguises, and the great fundamental and only object is apparent. It is the extension of slavery in these United States, and the enlargement of the slave power. Now I submit it to the south as to the north, if any good is to be gained to the Union by this result ?" Now let us mark what follows. Here is the vaunted " Young Republic of the West"—the model country of freedom—the State which is said to have been born, tO exist now, and in all time hereafter to exist— of, and by, and fur, freedom and its rights all over the world, thus exhibited by one of her ablest ci-devant Ministers, as not simply tolerating what some may be weak enough to believe the entailed political necessity of continuing to hold scores of thousands of human beings in slavery where they already existed in that condition in certain States at the time of their admis sion into the Federal Union; but, as now, and for some time past, actually intriguing, paltering, and languish ing for a larger investment in this hideous property of human flesh:— "Is there anything desirable in the creation of new slave states, and the extension of slave power ? The only motive and the only object has been, and now is, the extension of slave territory. I assert this distinctly, upon the strength of what I know. It is a fact not to be denied—the stern and solemn truth, sustained by indisputable evidence. 'The documents called forth by the proposition prove it ; the language of the Secretary of State points to it in as many words." Mr. WEBSTER is a plain spoken man, and thus un reservedly shows up the new Transatlantic "Polka'' movement : There is so much of fairness in the following ar ticle of Saturday's Journal des Debats, on the French operations in Morocco, that we willingly transfer it to our columns : " That the nomination of Mr. Polk turned upon this Texas annexation point cannot be doubted. If we had not heard of Texas we should never have heard of Polk. The words go together, just as Castor and Pollux. It is not necessary to argue that point for the purpose of proving the connexion. It is plain enough as it is, and it is an insult to the people to assert otherwise. Mr. Polk was nominated, because he was the unequivocal committed friend of immediate and unconditional an nexation, and for no other reason. Remember it, and I tell you to-day, if Polk is elected, annexation certainly and inevitably follows! The same tide of public opinion which could bear him into office would give him a Con gress subservient to his views, and entail Texas upon us for ever. " The Chambers were still open when, through the aggressions of the troops of Abderrhaman, hostilities broke out with the Moors. The Government was inter rogated ; and from the tribune of the two Chambers it formally declared that it was not its intention to make a war of conquest upon Morocco. All the world was cog nisant of this declaration—it was recorded in all th , t journals—by the organs even of the Opposition it was approved. Our astonishment, therefore, has not been slight at finding the .National, as if it, alone, were igno rant of what had been done and acknowledged in the Chambers, talking of the confidential promises made to England, and preparing itself, by anticipation, to accuse the Government of treason and of cowardice, in a case where Morocco having submitted, and accepted our con ditions, France would abandon the ports which the war would have compelled it to occupy. No ! There have been no " confidential promises"—there has been a declaration publicly made ; and this, as coming from a legal Government, is what we shall consider as a sacred engagement. No. The Government does not wish to make conquests and definitive establishments in Mo rocco. To dream of enlarging our possessions in Africa, at a time when Algeria presses already so heavily on our budget—this would be madness. We occupy the island of M gadore. It is the Government—this truckling and timorous Government—which has issued orders to the PI ijace de Joinville to establish a garrison up(,n it. We occSpy it, however, but provisionally, as an object of the war—not as an object of conquest. Once again, this is hat has been said and acknowledged, already upwards of a month since, in the presence of the Chambers, in the face of the country and of all Europe, and with the gene ral approbation! And if the National, almost exclusively found this policy base and unworthy, why did it require i month to make such a declaration ? A very " pretty iniquity" all this bespeaks in the " Loco-feed' party. They must manage well if they deceive the vigilance of Mr. WEBSTER ; and the Ame rican people ought to consider themselves deeply in debted to that gentleman for the direct and honest tone in which he has laid bare the TYLER Texas con spiracy to their convictions, and (we trust) to their contempt. The news from Spaideomes down to the 25th ult. Accounts from Madrid, to the 24th, represent that city as perfectly tranquil. Their Majesties, the two QUERNS, had been waited on by the corps diplo matique, to congratulate them on their return to the Spanish capital. News of the bombardment of Mogadore had reached Madrid, at the date of these advices, and the Prince DR JOINVILLR was said to have returned be fore Tangiers. According to the renewed declara tion of the Globe, peace had been concluded between Spain and Morocco. The other news from Madrid may be thus summed up :—The Three per Cents. were done at 27 7-16, at sixty days ; ; the Five per Cents. at 20; and the Floating Debt at 61i, at sixty days. CORDOVA had been designated to act as Captain- General of the province, in the absence of M. MA ZARREDE, and QuINTIN VELASCO, a brigadier of en gineers, had been appointed military commander. The grand levee, held at the palace on the 25th ult., in honour of the feast of the Infant Donna LUISA, sister of Queen ISABELLA, was of the most brilliant description ; and the whole assemblage were struck, we are told, with the healthful ap pearance of both guRENS. M. MAZARREDE was ex pected to forward his resignation of the the post of Captain-General -of Madrid, from the Pyrenees, whither he had proceeded to drink the waters. It is imputed to him that he was the main occasion of the discontents lately manifested by the troops in garri son, at Madrid, swing to his general mismanagement of affairs; and particularly his suspicious nature, which is assert& to have kept them constantly on the qui vise, without any adepuate motive or justifi • cation. " The Government feels after the battle of Isly, and the capture of Mogadore, just what it felt before these events, it was not fear which extorted from it the declar ation, at the commencement of these hostilities, that, be their result what it might, it did not mean to exact from Morocco a cession of towns or of territories. The mu ti‘ es which actuated Government to make this decl ration then, still actuate it now. It always had them—it has them at this moment—it will continue always 'o have them. These are—the interest of France—the good ;prise which wills not that we should engage, in Africa, all the forces of our budget, of our army, of our navy. Our fleets and our soldiers have covered themselves with glory. The Government expected of them as much. rhe war is pushed with vigour; and without wishing to detract from the Prince de Joinville or the Marshal 13ugcad one fraction of the honour which has accrued to them, we are yet bound to say, that that which they have done they had their orders to do. They hare nobly executed those instructions. France demands repa rations and guarantees : she will obtain them ; and this last blow assures, perhaps for ever, the security of Alge ria. This object is sufficiently great; the Government and France pursue none other. If the Government afterhaving recorded at the outbreak of the war a solemn declara tion that it had no intentions of territorial aggrandise ment, were all at once emboldened by success to set up other and ulterior pretensions—this would be what we should term, not simply disloyalty to pledges, but base ness and cowardice ; for it might reasonably be ima gined that Government had only awaited this success in order to make such further pretensions. When a country like France embarks in a war with a country like Morocco, the issue of that war is no doubtful one. We shall ask no more at its termination than we did at its commencement. There was no necessity, therefore, for the National to affect the mysterious. It was aware of the intentions of the Government. It knew, as all the world did, that we do not wage war with a view to the conquest of Morocco, .but only to impose peace, and to command respect for our presence among a barCarow people. At any rate, if it be true that the National does not want collision with England, we are rejoiced t, have apprised him that the moment of that collision has not yet arrived—God be thanked !" We note, with satisfaction, a somewhat modified— if it be not yet a friendly—tone, in the observations of the French journals of Saturday last, on th• pro gress of events in Morocco, and their influence upon the relations between France and England. The Debate is almost facetious on some of the inconsis tencies which it assumes to have detected in the lucubrations of'some of our morning Contemporaries, here, in their mode of treating these questions. The Globe eulogises the juster appreciation which has been formed of them by the men of sounder reason in both kingdoms. The National somewhat sarcastically qualifies its congratulations to the English press on its return to views of " moderation and good sense," by the remark that " this return would have been more meritorious, had .it taken place a few days' sooner, and before the battles of Mogadore and Isly.' The following extracts are sufficiently characteristic. the Debuts, after observing on the extreme atten tion with which the operations of the French squadron on the coast of Africa are watched, here, adds— " There is nothing in that which can surprise us, or at which we ought to take offence. The war which we wage on the Emperor of Morocco is a far more im- It is really a gratifying novelty to find in those American journals which devote themselves to the discussion of what may be called local politics, any sound and well reasoned, calm, and dispassionate exa minatior., of great national questions. On the other side of the Atlantic party spirit and political excite ment attain to such habitual excess, that it is often impossible to discover a single break in the strain of exaggeration and declamatory violence with which the organs of the several parties in Congress and out of it advocate their own views, or denounce those hich have been advanced by others. Independently of the weariness which this monotonous grandilo • quence inflicts on us who peruse it, a distance of more than two thousand 'miles from the scene o;• those events and that business to which it is addressed, the sensation it produces upon European readers is one of annoyance rather than of amusement, and fairly repulses, instead of pro voking, curiosity. But there is one eminent excep tion to the application of this remark. A State paper, a letter, or a reported speech from Mr. DANIEL. WEBSTER, is sure to repay the most careful and at tentive perusal by its manifestation of many sterling points of excellence. There is generally a plain, manly, grave simplicity about them. This strongly con trasts with the vicious and inflated style that so largely pervades the forensic and diplomatic efforts of Ame rican statesmen and lawyers. Mr. WEBSTER seems always in earnest, and, therefore, to appeal rather to the reason and cool judgment of the public, than the awakened passions, or the transient influence, of a faction. Ile is one of the few public men in the United States actively engaged in the affairs that form the current matters of political controversy, who never shrink from looking at the truth, whether it happen to square, or not, with the views and opinions he has previously advocated. One seems to listen to poriant matter to the English than that which they waged with the Emperor of China could be to us. There is not, whatever may be said, any parallel to be drawn between the island of Mogadore and that of Hong-Kong. If England had thought it right to take possession of the whole Celestial Empire, we should not have con ceived any uneasiness for Marseilles or Toulon; but if France should occupy in a permanent manner Tangiers or Morocco, England would assuredly have some reason to be uneasy. We therefore comprehend perfectly well the sentiment of disquietude which is manifested by certain English journals, but we regret for them that they do not express it more reasonably, and that they do not better know how to dissemble their jealousy or ill humour. It must, however, be allowed that they do not all employ the same language. The more sensible ones, such as speak to men's reason, and not t o th e i r passions, as the Morning Herald and the Standard, make no difficulty in avowing that France is in her right—that patience, mode- ration, and justice are entirely on her side. But there are others, which not being able to contest the evident right of France, have recourse to hypotheses, and take the trouble of reasoning, or rather not reasoning, on eventualities which to all appearance will never take place. The Times, for instance, is disagreeably affected by the occupation of the island of Mogadore, and that prima facie appears to it suspicious. However, after reflecting maturely, it at last discovers that there is nothing to object to. But if France were to take possession of other points of the territory, if it should transform its provisional occupa tion into a permanent one, if it should turn Morocco into a second Algeria, oh ! then that would be a grave case, and England ought to demand explanations and repara tions. Why does not the Times say that if a French squadron should go and bombard the Tower of London or St. Katherine's docks, the English Government would demand explanations ? Since it is in the vein of hypo thesis—why stop short when going on so well ? The French Government has declared ten times over that it has not the slightest intention to aggrandise its territory, and that, if it were forced to take it, it would not keep it." The Globe says : "It will be seen by our extracts from the London journals how far the reasoning of men of consideration in France and England has dispersed those absurd va pourings of war which have obscured certain heated brains. The fact is, that great affairs are like the ancient poets ; they hate a crowd, and retire from it, because it is passionate and tumultuous, while they have need of calmness and:moderation." his reasoning without that painful prepossession of distrust and suspicion which insensibly prejudices us against others whose habit it is to attempt to make up for the weakness of their argument, or the feeble ness of their cause, by violence of gesticulation and over-coloured statement. We must also concede to Mr. WEBSTER'S speeches, for the most part, the merit of a certain freshness and an argumentative serious ness, that are by no means every-day excellencies on this side of the water or on that. The address delivered by this gentleman at Spring field, on the 9th ultimo, as given in the American papers, is important at the present juncture on very many accounts. It is a distinct and stern sentence of condemnation on the political profligacy of Mr. TYLER, and a searching and almost contemp tuous exposure of the disqualifications of that individual's nominee, Mr. POLK, for the office of President. The reckless violence on the United States' constitution—the wanton and wicked perilling of the country's best guarantees for peace, and the permanency of its institutions, to be found in the maintenance of its existing relations with this coun try and other States—which Mr. TYLER and his cabal were prepared to commit and to hazard in order to carry out their schemes for the annexation of Texas to the United States territories, and the increase and consolidation of slavery and " the slave power," as Mr. WEBSTER terms it—these points are forcibly and perspicuously laboured. For the United States we draw from these passages a most favourable augury. We may venture to hope that the American people will escape the dangers and the disgraces, we will add, into which such counsels as those which have so long and so mischievously swayed he official career of Mr. Try. htr . WEBSTSI3, We The National remarks that " the English press has completely ceased joking about the skill of our marine artillerymen ; the Times itself no longer says that the tricolour flag has dishonoured itself in Africa, and its rhodomontades have given place to the most pacific reflections." And it declares its opinion that except ing only two of the London journals, " which fire up more and more, and which even go so far as to pre tend that England cannot, without dishonour, abstain from repressing by force the occupation of Mogadore, all the other organs appear to have recovered the use of reason, and acknowledge—first, that France had a perfect right to do what she has done ; secondly, that the victories of our troops, instead of proving a brand of discord in Europe, are a guarantee forpeace." In Galignanis Messenger we have this notice : " Some of the Opposition journals state on the faith of accounts from Morocco, that munitions of English TILE grfN. LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1844. manufacture were found both at Mogadore, and among the stores in the Moorish camp, captured by Marshal BUGEAUD." We take leave to doubt the fact; of the animus with which the statement is put forward, there can be no doubt. But even if the case should turn out to be precisely conformable to the announcement of the French Opposition journals ; what then ? Will they point out any treaty or obligation into which we have entered with France, or any other European Power, not to supply Morocco, with which empire we have long had a considerable trade, with arms and munition of war of British manufacture, if the Government, or the subjects of the EMPEROR should need them ? We spak more particularly of that long interval, but just now interrupted, in which our ally, the Moroquin SOVEREIGN, was at peace with almost every other European state as well as our own. We suspect that military arms and munitions form a considerable portion of our exports, at all times, to these African independencies. Besides, the state parasol captured in the baggage of the Eu rEßoa's son, turns out to have been made in Paris ! We cry " quits !" THE BOURSE---SATURDAY, AUGUST 31. _ First Highest Lowest Last Price.

There were late accounts in town this morning from the Cape of Good Hope, namely, to very nearly the end of June. A Government minute had been issued by order of Sir Peregrine Maitland, for the purpose of encouraging the arrivals of mechanics, labourers, &c., to the colony, where hands of almost all descriptions were very much wanted. From statistics that have been made out respecting the wo:)1 produce, this important fact is elicited:—ln the three months before the present state ment was completed, the exports of the flour from the Cape amounted to 847,5141b5. In the same period of time ten years since the shipments were but 52,7921b5., showing an increase of at least sixteen times. The general exports from the colony were also on the ad vance, wines perhaps excepted. On the coast there were about 40 vessels taking in guano. It is asserted upon com petent authority that one mercantile firm has cleared not less than 20,0001. to 25,000/. by being first in the field and importing the new manure into Portland.

BRUSSELS, AUG. 29.—His Majesty the King will go shortly to the camp at Beverloo. The King will go into mourning for 11 days on occa sion of the death of her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Alexandra, consort of Prince Frederick of Hesse Cassel. On the 27th the Minerva, Captain Theissing, arrived at Antwerp, having on board the crew of the English brig the Providence, of Newcastle, Captain Elliot, bound from Memel to Boston, in England, which was aban doned on the 20th inst. It seems that Captain Elliot was on the 16th of August in the Cattegat, where he was run down in the middle of the night by a large vessel, which carried away her bowsprit, and proceeded on her voyage. Captain Elliot could not distinguish to what nation it belonged. The men immediately hastened to the pumps, and found that the Pro- vidence was quite dry. It was not till the nth that it sprung a leak, and that water rose so rapidly that the crew was obliged to make their escape in the long-boat, the ship threatening to sink every moment. They were at that time 120 leagues west of the coast of Norway. After being tossed about for two days, they had the good fortune to fall in with the Hanoverian barque the Minerva, the captain of which took them on board, and afforded them all the assistance that their situation re quired. BRUSSELS, Auc. 30.—The King and Queen of the Netherlands have arrived at Weimar, the King on the 27th in the evening, and the Queen on the morn i ng o f the 28th. On the 28th a destructive fire broke out in the fine cloth manufactory of M. Hofermans, at Dixon, near Verviers. The upper part of the building, containing the machinery, was destroyed. The two neighbouring manufactories of Messrs. Bleyforast and Desart sustained some injury from the measures taken to preserve them from the fire. The loss is estimated at 15,000 or 20,000 francs.. The whole is insured. " 18, Austin Friars, Aug. 14. " Sir,—The Committee of Spanish American bond holders beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the sth inst. " By a letter received from you by this Committee, dated Paris, July 22, 1843, it appeared that you had then under your charge the sum of 291,621 dollars, which had been from time to time remitted to England for the purpose of being applied to the payment of the interest on the portion of the Colombian Foreign Debt appertaining to New Granada, the same being derived from the portion of th e C us t om -h ouse revenue appro priated by Congress to this purpose. " As this fund has of necessity received some augmen tation during the intervening period, the Committee are desirous of now being informed what the sum at this moment is in your custody. That this information should be withheld from the bondholders, the Com mittee :are persuaded you will, on consideration, see there can be no ground whatever. The money in question has been set apart by a decree of the Congress of New Granada specially for the payment of the bond holders, it has been remitted to England for that pur pose; and that information should be withheld from the bond-holders of the amount thereof now in hand in London, is a circumstance for which the Committee could not have been prepared. The Committee earnestly request the favour of a distinct communication in answer to their inquiry for the information of the bondholders. —I have the honour, &c. " M. M. Mosquera, Esq." " 13, Austin Friars, Aug. 22. " Sir, I am directed by the Committee of Spanish American bondholders to request the favour of an answer to their letter of the 14th inst. I have the honour, &c. " M. M. Mosquera." The Committee of Spanish American bondholders, from whom these letters emanated, ought not again to put themselves in correspondence with M. Mosquera. In the " City Article" of Saturday, a singular misprint occurred. It is there stated that the Wellington, Captain Chadwick, " has just come up the river, with a fine cargo of British manufactures, from New York." Quite the contrary, she has just left for New York, with an excel lent cargo of British goods. The Consul Market opened this orning with great firmness, and the price touched 99, but a sale of 50,0001. by an influential broker caused a reduction to 98. for Money, and to 981 for the Account. There is not any news of interest from the Continent this morning. The present price is 98i both Transfer, to-morrow, and for Account. The price of Exchequer Bills is at 755. to 735. premium. The other Stocks are a trifle lower than yesterday. The alterations in the Foreign Funds have been very slight. Mexican, Dutch, and Brazilian Bonds have been flat. Spanish Consols are quoted at 221 ; and the Three per Cents. at 33s 1. The principal changes in the Share Market have bet n a rise in London and Birmingham RitilA ay to 122 prem., and in the Great Western to 65 prem. The other shales are much the same as on Saturday.

As the origin of this institution is not a little interest ing, we subjoin a brief account of it. It seems ti at about two or three years - -ago, four young men of the working classes being desirous of cu'tivating tl.eir minds, d..!ciderl on the establishment of a society by which they might be enabled, in their leisure hours, to engage in intellectual pursuits and rational sportA and amusements. They accordingly—though not without difficulty—got together some twenty or thirty young men of their own grade in society, submitted . to them their project, obtained their promise of co-ope ration, and then formed themselves in'o a sort of club to which they gave the name of the " Athenic Institu tion." In this institution they divided themselves irto reading, writing, arithmetical, drawing,and other useful classes, to which, says the Birmingham journal, they added arrangements for . the enjoyment of the good old manly, out-door and in-door English sports and recreations. Fur some time, as might hare been expected, their society continued on a small scale, but gradually their numbers increased, the moral influence of their example began to make itself felt in the town, and they were-at length enabled to take large rooms, which they fitted up in a most tasteful manner, and then issued a imblic address in explana tion of the objects of their institution. The next step of this juvenile association.was to choose a patron, and after some discussion on the subject, they selected Lord Joilei MANNERS, who replied in the most flattering ternas to their communication, and accepted an invitation to dine with them on Monday last, at their new rooms in Birming ham. At this dinner his Lordship, who was in the chair, after expressing his cordial approval of the objects of the " Athenic Institution," went on to ob serve ervethat it was , i n hi s op i n i on , necessary f or th e hard working men of Birmingham to enter their protest against the modern dogma which would seem to assume that no recreation was necessary for the work jag people of England, and which appeared to have adopted for its motto what would, he i imagined, have been held in universal reprobation—namely,ititl d All work and no play. " called it dogma, added the Noble Chairman, ‘‘ nation rtoa s f t:r eac y ntt p ig ro u v i e t.‘ d . to demonstration, that every deemed it a matter of the highest importance to pro vide for the relaxation and amusement of the classes." Not only the legislators and rulers o g t antiquity had this considerate regard for the health ful recreations of the humbler and more industrkus orders, but those of our own country were equally provident end politic in their views on this important subject. Both before, and many years subsequent to, the age of ELIZABETII, the amusements of the work ing classes were protected by Government with a soil- citude truly paternal. Each season of the year was allowed its characteriStic holiday, when the highest mingled with the lowest in unaffected good fellow- ship ; amusements, suited to the period, were provided both fur the summer and the winter evenings; great ihistclical events were commemorated with general re joicings; and nothing was neglected that could give 0-.

BERLIN AUGUST 26.—During the visit of the Kin g to one of the Silesian Spas, a circumstance is said, on good authority, to have taken place, which, to prevent misrepresentation, requires further communication. Among the number of persons who flocked• from all quarters, and who testified the most sincere loyalty and attachment to his Majesty, there appeared, it is said, a man in female attire, who attracted general attention by his gigantic stature, and took advan • tage of an opportunity to mix some shameful and disrespectful words with the general acclamations. He was arrested on the spot, and proved to be a cri minal from the House of Correction. On the 22d the documente respecting the treason able attempt of Tschech were laid before the tribunal to pass sentence. His counsel, M.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubitt Optnton, " ll 7 ho runs marl read." roazzarr. Notwithstanding the improved tone of the French journals noticed in another article, our readers will perceive that they are still ingenious in that species of discovery which is called " the finding of mares' nests." For exami le, the Toulonnais accounts in the following manner for the unwillingness of the French Government to publish the Prince de Joinville's dispatch :—" We are assured that the Prince de Joinville has dwelt upon the precision with which the eighty guns of the town of Tangiers were pointed, and he declares that they must have been served by Englishmen. He also mentions the complimentary visit of Admiral Owen's aide-de-camp, and his refusal to admit him into his presence. Other passages, containing more or less ill-feeling towards the English. have no doubt determined the Ministry in withholding the publication of his Royal Highness's re port." The National, in another passage, writes—" The bad feeling of England towards us is demonstrated every day by the clearest evidence. We have already cited various facts in support of our assertion, and we shall now give the following :—The Bey of Tunis is, like the Emperor of Morocco, our neighbour in Algeria. The Queen of England has simt him a present, consisting of jewellery, to the value of 8,0001. sterling. It is known that small presents cement friendship ; consequently, if the Bey of Tunis become the ally of England, he certainly will not remain the friend of France. In time of peace this would be but of little consequence, but in case of war, the hostility of the Tunisians would be troublesome to us. Thence it follows that, if England at present seeks their friendship, it is a proof that she entertains hostile intentions, and that we must redouble our vigilance." The non sequitur suggested, after the word " conse quently," is a curious specimen of polemical logic. The inference from the premises assumed by the National is not that which he thus deduces ; but rather that if the King of the French would make the Bey of Tutus a richer present than the Queen of England has tramnitted to him, th t Bey would remain the attached friend of Louis Phillippe, and not of Queen Victoria. This might not be absolute gallantry in Ow Bey ; but it would be, we suspect, the morale of Tunisian morality. e find in the Franklin Gazette des Posies the fol lowing extract from a letter dated Copenhagen, the 22d ult. :—" The death of the Grand Duchess Alexandra, wife of the presumptive heir of the Crown has inspired much sympathy, but, in a political point of view, the im pression caused by this event is quite different. The connexion which was formed between Denmark and Russia was not seen with pleasure.. The marriage was even less popular in the Duchies. The presence of the Russian fleet has caused consider a bl e irr it a ti on here. Serious fears were entertained that the Emperor of Rus sia coveted both Copenhagen and Constantinople. At Stockholm the entrance of the port had been fortified, to prevent surprise." Advices from Tripoli, of the 12th ult., states that an insurre tion had broken out in the Gerian mountains, and that Miludi Sheik, the ex-Minister of the deposed Mahtnudi family, had placed himself at its A body of Turkish cavalry, marched against them, had been repulsed, with the loss of their Colonel, Ismail Bey, who was either killed or taken prisoner. The son of the Pacha was preparing to embark for Bengazy, to assume the command of the expeditionary army. It was rumoured that some Frenchmen were dirtcting the movements of the insurgent mountaineers, but for this repvrt there seemed little foundation. • Athens appears to have been recently the scat of serious disturbances, which are described by the Greek 01 ver, ver, of the 19th ult., to have occurted on the 16th, three days previously, on the occasion• of the elections. The mayor having presented him-elf before the hall •in which the electors were aisembled, at the head of . a party of gendarmes, previous to the counting of the votes, the peop:e opposed his admission, and a collision ensued between them and the military. in which one man was killed, and several wounded. The King imme diately repaired to the scene of these disorders, and ass enthusiastically cheered by the multitude. Tilt , %linistry had resigned on the previous evening, and the people, hearing that Coletti had undertaken the construction of a new Cabinet, retired quietly, and tranquillity was re stored. The Gazette de France state 4, as a rumour, that B iron Athalin, first aide de•cimp to his Majesty, had left town for London. Great interest, and more uncertainty, attach to the rumours touching the fate of the renowned Abd-el- Kader. The Sieck has the following passage, quoting from Marshal Bugeaud's dispatches t---" In .the opinion of the entire army," says the Marshal, " the battle of Isly is the consecration of our conquest of Algeria, and ought to accelerate the conclusion of our differences with the empire of Morocco." This expression way account for the pacific news which was current at Marseilles, and of the surrender to us, by the Moors, of Abd-el-Kader. Such a report, however, requires confirmation. The Journal des Debats states that, notwithstanding the positive assurance given in several journals that the Emperor of Morocco, after the battle of Isly, sent a detachment of his guard to arrest .Abd-el-Keder, the Government had not received, up to a late hour on Fri day afternoon, ,ny confirmation of such a report, and that such reports should be received with a certain reserve. The Paris corresp,,ndent of the Times remarks, " That the Emperor would readily accept them (the new terms about to be proposed by the French Cabinet to Abder rahman), is also generally believed, ,but the difficulty that prevented his acquiescence' in the original terms still exists in the person of Abd-cl Kader. How long it or that redoubtable warrior may continue to exist, con stitutes the entire question.. That he will submit is not to be expected. That (as rumour states) the French Government have set a pri e (two millions of francs) upon his head must, be a colonial - . That some of his own followers or emissaries of Abderrahman may at tempt his life, is quite possible, but there is nothing be fore us to show that with the very best intentions • the Emperor of Morocco can, or could, expel him the empire. '[he pacific arrangement of the atrair, though more pro- . bahle than it appeared some days since, does not there fore appear at hand." From other advices, also, it ap pears that the rumour as to the tak;ng of Abd-el-Kader was- still very prevalent, but the French Government had yet received nothing to confirm it. There is no doubt, however, as to the existence of a circular, in which Marshal Bugeau4 announces the sending out of 400 cavalry by the Emperor of Morocco against Abd-el- Kader. Some of the Paris journals state that a letter has been received by the Minister of War from General. Bugeaud, announcing his return to Oran, and his having left the command-in-chief of the army on the frontier with General Lamoriciere. Some affect to consider this as a clear proof that the operations for this season are over. The Moniteur Parisien announces that copies of the letters exchanged between the son of the Emperor of Morocco and his father, together with a diplomatic cor respondence, were found in the Moorish camp. They were inclosed in two chests. A large convoy of gun powder had likewise been intercepted by the French. The Dehats says—" It is kno n that Captain Bouat, Governor of Senegal, who had left Paris to join the French squadron at Cadiz, could not arrive in time to take part in the operations against Mogadore. It is he whom the Prince has charged with the duty of bringing to the King the colours taken fry in the Moors. lle will arrive probably today at Paris. As this brave and able officer was lamenting, in presence of the Prince, his hav ing arrived too late for the attack of Mogadore, the latter said to him—' My dear commandant, you were taking part with us although absent, for it is to your excellent information that we owe a great part of our success.' " The Courrier Francais states, that at ten o'clock yesterday morning Lord Cowley went to Neuilly, and had a long conference with the King, M. Guizot, and another personage, believed, it says, to he Marshal Sebastiani. " Marshal Soult," says the Constitutionnel, "has re ceived a new and most earnest invitation to return to Paris, in order to give his sanction to the determination come to in the negotiations with England." The Constitutionnel states positively that Baron Atha lin has left Paris for London, with letters to many in fluential personages in England, and among them one from Lady Cowley to the Duke of Wellington. The Revue de Paris says :—" Accounts have just been received from Messrs. Garella and Cortines, the en gineers who were sent some time since by Government to survey the Isthmus of Panama. The full results are not yet known, but it is said that they reject the idea of a railroad, and decide in favour of a canal ; the great object being, not the mere conveyance of merchandise across the Isthmus, but a union of the Pacific and the Atlantic, so as to enable ships to pass from one to the other in a few hours, instead of having to go round South America, after doubling Cape Horn." A Morning Contemporary observes :—" Our letters from Constantinople show that there is not the slightest ground for the assumption that the Turkish fleet (the departure of which from the Dardanelles supplied to the French Government the pretext for nearly doubling its already extensive fleet in the Mediterranean) was ever destined ter Tunis." The pacification of the Lebanon, in which a Turkish Commissioner is still busily em ployed, seems to have been the actual object of this armament. Wultusch and Petronevitch have been allowed to re turn to Servia. The Commissioner sent into Albania to inquire into the grievances complained of by the people of that province, has returned to Constantinople. The trial of the Albanian prisoners is over ; 500 are con demned to different degrees of punishment, of whom twenty-eight to death. The Sultan has, however, com muted the punishment of the latter to the galleys for life. The Russians are said to have suffered severely in the Caucasus. _ _ A great sensation has been created in Malta by a recent act of the Government in respect to the coin in circulation. The South American dollar had been forced by the Government, at the fixed value of 4s. 4d., which was more than its real value. It appears that these dollars are of no defined weight, and the consequence has been that a great quantity of coin has been intro duced, the value of which is under 45., though circulated at 4s. 4d. Latterly, however, the public offices have refused the light coin, and the consequence is an im mense loss to the public, besides an immense incon venience, of which the Malta papers speak in the bitterest terms. The Madrid papers announce that the elections pro mise to be very favourable to the Government ; an un doubted truth, for the Government has taken care to secure the triumph by sending their opponents, both candidates and electors, across the frontier, with hints as to the danger of returning. M. Cortina, so long the object of angry menaces, has at length been compelled to withdraw out of Spain. He has taken refuge in France. lad It seems to be the general impression in Di t/ Narvaez, at the earnest .and reiterated instance t.
