LONDON: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1840. We copy from the Merthyr Guardian an article en the Corn-laws, which would have escaped our notice, but for the additional currency given to it by insertion in a Metropolitan Journal. The ex torted praise of our opponent we accept with plea sure, and shall endeavour to show that we do not deserve his censure. First, with reference to our defence of the fiauds in the averages, in which we are willing to admit that we rejoiced, and of which we would encourage the repetition, whenever the effect can be equally beneficial. Accustomed to look to facts, we are not frightened by words, and though the fictitious sales which influence the averages do cheat the law, or evade a barbarous enactment—do, we ad mit, lead the inspectors to make returns of prices as real which never had any existence—yet they are not morally a fraud, and no individual, we believe, is wronged by them, whatever they may be by the Corn-laws, to the fraction of a penny. What are these frauds ? One merchant sells another 20,000 quarters of wheat for 755. a quar ter, and the latter re-sells these quarters to the same merchant, or sells them to: another, at SOs. The..transaction takes place publicly in the market, the checks of the parties are exchanged, it is recorded in the market-books, and is entered in the returns which are sent to the Government, and makes part of the averages published in the Gazelle. It may be true that in private these parties make an al lowance to one another which prevents either of them from losing by the high price they have given for the corn ; but such transactions are com mon in trade, and though often intended to enable the parties to make a better bargain with other in dividuals to their detriment, are not held to be reprehensible. But the fictitious sales in the Corn Market are not intended to influence other bargains; they have, as we before stated, no effect on the ac tual prices, and they cause detriment to no man, except those who expect by the help of the law, and trust to its not being evaded, to plunder their fellow-men. The Government, we admit, is im posed on, the law is set aside, but the whole pro ceeding grows from that greater ordained general system of fraud, the Corn-laws, and diminishes its criminality. The mode of dealing with the ave rages, which is called fraudulent, lessens social evil, and therefore is to be praised and honoured. The Guardian says, " on the same principle the felon might as well plead in mitigation of sentence that his crime was the consequence of the laws against housebreaking, or the robber assassin on the QUEEN'S highway, that murder was the corollary from the Divine command, thou shalt do no mur der." But the Guardian, in this observation, falls into a very common, and yet a very palpable mis. take. It supposes that it is by an Act of the Legisla ture that certain actions are converted into crimes. and that without human laws, actions would have no inherent characters of good or evil, constituting one a crime and the other a virtue. To break into a house, harrass the inmates, and steal their pro perty, is a crime, whether the human law be silent or stigmatize the action. To import wheat from all parts of the world to feel the people far from being a crime, is at least as innocent, if not as praise worthy an action as any one of our daily avocations. When the Legislature forbids and punishes house breaking, it enforces the law of nature, which BLACKSTONE says is the foundatio n of all human laws, and that none are of any validity if opposed t o i t ." 'When the Legislature forbids merchants to import wheat, it violates a law of Nature. It po. forbid sr that which Nature commands , and if it migh t ceed on such a principle there is not a single human action, though springing from our noblest affections and most solemn and enlightened thoughts, which it might not in like manner forbid, and so extinguish the human race. To set aside or evade the cri. urinal enactment, forbidding men to bring wheat into the country, can by no process of logic be con verted into a justification of housebreaking, because both actions are forbidden by the Legislature, for the two have totaly opposite qualities, and one, like every part of that vast commercial system which unites together nations, is ordained by Nature, while the other, by the same all-ruling power, is prohibited and condemned. --The Guardian, therefore, like many superficial observers, confounds together good actions and bad actions; because the stupid, the ignorant, or the wicked lawgiver hag taken it on himself, equally to forbid what Nature ordain., and what Nature pro hibits. In our opinion this view, far from encou- raging'; rime of any kind, sets the unthinking folly 1 and the cruelty of the lawmaker in a clear light, because it shows him applying the same prohibition to an action by which society is sustained and nou rished, and to an action by which it is terrified and devastated. A greater evil possibly it could not produce, than to lead acute and clever men, like the writer in the Guardian, to jumble toge ther house-breaking and importing food, and to in fer similar consequences from violating the law which punishes the one, and prohibits the other. We have now said so much in defence of what we formerly said, but we beg it may be remembered that our remarks then were in reply to some con temptible and silly denunciations of these innocent but fictitious sales of corn. If our defence have startled some of our Contemporaries, it has met with unqualified approbation from others ; and such consequences, pro and con., deduced from the Corn-law, will do more than statistics to get that unrighteous law set aside. In reply to the statistics of the Merthyr Guar dian, we shall briefly state, that the cheap bread of the years 1835 and 1836, existed in conjunction with the Corn-laws. They kept down the popu lation to the supply of our own country, and when a fruitful harvest came there was more than the thinned and starved population could pay for. At the same time the law prohibited trade to a certain extent with other countries, and prevented that healthy enterprise, even when prices were low, which is essential to prosperity. To quote France against us is a proof either of gruss ignorance or a mocking spirit in the Guardian. France has very severe Corn-laws, and a system of import duties on all kinds of food which amounts almost to a prohibition. France is more cursed with restrictive laws on trade than England. So the Factory System of the United States, to which our Contemporary refers, is the child of prohibi tion. To spite the English for the ab surd conduct of our rulers, the American Government laid heavy duties on our manu factured articles, and the misery mentioned by the Boston Quarterly Review quoted by our Contem porary, is the result of a prohibitive system which is the counterpart and complement of the Corn laws. To know what is the result of free trade, we refer the Merthyr Guardian to an excellent letter from Switzerland, in the last number of the Anti-Corn-law Ci,cular. We must state in conclusion, that The Sun is not answered, for The Sun has never contended for anything so foolish as that all distress existing at all time was the consequence of Corn-laws. Neither has The Sun contended for low prices, but for free trade and for justice. Our Corn-laws are the most immediate and powerful cause of our present distress. If they were removed, we are well aware that other causes for privation and dis tress would then present themselves, which we must next remove. But the Corn-laws, as the mos , prominent, immediate, and ruinous, require to be first repealed, and in that sense standing first, may be justly described as the great cause of the national *distress. Some of the Tory Journals have recently quoted with approbation a letter of Col. THOMPSON'S to the Chartists of Leicester, and published it in the Leicester Journal. With all the talent for which the Gallant Officer is distinguished, and with all the animosity he feels—from perhaps a good per- sonal reason—to the Whigs, he attacks them with great vehemence, and recommends the Chartists to join, at the elections, with either Whigs or Tories, who will contribute to elect Chartists. We doubt the morality and the policy of the Radicals or the Chartists, udder any circumstances, or for any pur pose, uniting with the Tories, to whom they are di rectly opposed, and who are their decided enemies. W hat the people want, is not so much votes in the House of Commons, as good laws, and they will injure themselves more by a sacrifice of principle in voting for a Tory than they will gain by placing a Radical in the House of Commons, though he be as undeniably a man of great talents as Colonel ; THOMPSON. Such advice, leading the Chartists to support those who pant for an opportunity to crush them, is to us inexplicable on any other prin ciple than that we recently quoted from the Northern Liberator, the principle of hastening on evil as the road to amendment. As the Tory Journals, quote and praise Colonel THOMPSON'S letter, the Tories must be willing to accept the proferred alliance. They have been for some time cajoling the Chartists, and making tools of them to elevate the Tories to political power. The Chartists and the Whigs have been brought into collision by the accident of the latter having to administer Tory laws ; but the Tories are by nature and principle the decided enemies of the rights of the people, and must and would use the political power Colonel THOMPSON is willing to assist them in getting to crush the Chartists. After the Whigs were turned out, the Tories and the Chartists would fight, and the former would not be weakened by the office to which the duped Chartists might help to raise them. If the Chartists would act foolisly by forming such an alliance, what would the Tories do ? Act criminally on their own principles. They reproach the Liberals or Radicals of the House of Com mons for sacrificing their principles to support the Whigs ; but the Whigs and Radicals profess similar principles, and go the same road, though the latter wish to go faster and further than the former. The Chartists and the Tories, however, are opposite poles of politics. They go in different directions. Between them there is nothing but repulsion. They have nothing in common. An alliance between them is an alliance of deadly foes to give a triumph to the Tories and injure the Whigs, who have done much, it not as much as we wish, to promote reform. In fact, we have frequently reproached the Ministers for not going far enough ; but, holding many principles in common, we cannot forsake them, and forsake our own principles, in order to spite them, and place their enemies and our ene mies in office. We agree with the Scotsman, and support the Ministers on the ground which that Journal states in the following passage : It is absurd to expect that men encumbered with the responsibilities of office, and obliged to govern for all par, ties should act at once up on the views of Refo rmers out of doors, or attempt to force any great measure upon the Legislature, until it has acquired a strong basis in public opinion. For example, the Bollot and the repeal of the Corn-laws —measures which we, in comm o n with a large and increosing number of Reform ers, regard as important—are as yet in a state of pro gression, and, resisted as they at present are by Tories and Chartists, as well as by many Refoimers in the middle ranks, the Ministry could not stake their ex istence on them without in fact betraying the country into the hands of the Tories. Although, therefore, we diffe r from Ministers on many points —although we ad vocate larger measures of reform, in the hope that these will eventually gain ground and triumph, we should cer tainly deem it the height of absurdity to withhold our support from men who move at least in the right di rection, and who on certain questions have shown themselves in advance of the people. How ruinous would it b e to the Libe ral party to reject the co-ope ration of all who, in their T views of reform, happen to fall sh or t o f a precise point . With regard to Lord w Jo b h o n m ß w u e s ssel b l ou ld himself, h ave we emeuns moret say there proud areto honour the manner proposed, Reformersand b we , e are s u re th a t t hi s f ee li ng o e nrn men i is participated in by 1 as well as th e p ar t enerally.

MIGNET, the historian on Eastern questerti, pulilibhed iu the Revue de, TIM SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1840. Deux Mondes, from which we yesterday made an extract, calls for more particular notice on the part of the English press. Written at the instance of the President of the Council, who supplied the statements of facts which it contains, it acquires a weight and an importance which does not attach to the every-day lucubrations of French Journalists by profession. The way in which we propose to deal with it is the simplest that occurs to us. We shall examine in detail the statements and the argu ments of the writer in the order in which he has set them down, " beginning with the beginning, and ending with the end ;" and to guard against misconception we shall quote every paragraph to which we object on the score of wanting in truth or fairness of logical deduction. After stating briefly that the Treaty of London has reached its second stage—that of coercive execution—and that everything predicts that it cannot reach a third, M. MIGNET accounts as follows for its existence : Why was the treaty of the 15th of July thought of ? Because Lord Palmerston Conceived that our Cabinet was urging; Mehemet Ali to conclude a direct arrange ment with the Porte ; because he thought the offer of restoring to the Sultan his fleet emanated from the coun cils of M. Thiers ; because he imagined that the French Government having no other object than to carry away forcibly from the Conference of London the decision of the litigation, it was necessary to gain it by speed ; in short, because he was persuaded that France wished for peace in reality at any price, and that she would resign herself, in order to maintain it, to perform in the affairs but the part of the god Epicurus. All those suppositions were gratuitous ; they were even contradictory ; for a Government that would wish for peace at any price would not engage itself insulately in roundabout ways, which must always lead to dissension and war. Of the four suppositions here assumed as facts, not one is absolutely and unconditionally true. Lord PALMERSTON would have rejoiced at an amicable settlement of the Eastern question, brought about solely through the instrumentality of M. THIERS, had such a settlement had for its basis the restora tion of Syria to the Porte—the only territorial guarantee for the maintenance of Turkish indepen dence. The only direct arrangement which the English Minister dreaded, was an arrangement based upon the prostration of the Ottoman empire— an arrangement dictated by the pride of conquest, and the insatiable thirst for more extensive domi nion. The second allegation is a pure fiction. The English Cabinet entertained no jealousy of France in the matter of restoring the fleet, nor was a single step taken to deprive our ally of the glory of such a restoration. The other suppositions, or rather allegations, are not less fanciful. England calcu lated on the justice of France, not on her love for peace at any price ; for England knew right well that France would not compromise her honour, to procure centuries of repose. Why, then, was England in such a hurry to sign the treaty ? Not because she wished to outstrip France in the race of diplomacy and war, but, as the Duke DE VALMY has justly observed, because the condi tions offered by Russia were such as she could not hesitate to accept, without jeopardizing the existence of the Ottoman empire. But this in no way iden tified British policy with that of Russia. On the contrary, it enables us to thwart most success fully the darling projects of the CZAR in every part of Asia, and particularly to keep him out of Constantinople. -We admit that the conditions offered us were designed to detach England from France, but it will be the fault of the latter Power if it produce any such result. Let France only abandon her policy of isolation, and the Treaty of London will prove the sharpest thorn which has yet pierced the side of Russia. We now proceed to the writer's contrast of the policy of France with that of the other Four Powers The policy of France has been simple, frank, and honest. She always wished for a pacific solution of the Eastern question, and a solution that would avoid all encroachment on the Ottoman empire. Undoubtedly it matter. little to France 'whether - Mehemet "Ail pre.. e or abandons such and such a portion of the terri tory that he occupies. If the Pacha took it into his head to return to private life, or to restore to the Sultan the government of Syria, or even that of Egypt, France would offer no obstacle. But wise policy is not founded upon foolish suppositions. Mehemet Al; has occupied for a length of time those provinces —he has strongly established himself therein—he is not a man to dispossess himself easily of them. The French Go vernment, in bearing in mind those facts, the embarrass ment of the Ottoman empire, the antecedent conduct of the Pacha, his skilfulness and influence in the East, understands that every serious attempt to deprive the Pacha of his conquests might tend to a fatal collision with the Porte, and to dangerous com plications for the peace of the world. France, pursuing that mild, judicious, and practical conduct which eminently distinguishes the monarchy of July, has come to the decision that it was necessary, in the interest of the Ottoman empire, and of the equilibrium of Europe, to accept the facts that have been accom plished, and to arrive, by a prudent dilatoriness, and the moral influence of the Powers, at an arrangement which, without in anywise depreciating the real strength of the Porte, would shelter her from every commotion and dismemberment. A contrary policy is but egotism, weakness, and anger ; in fact, the egotistical views of Russia, Lord Palmerston's and Lord Ponsonby's anger, the weakness of the Austrian and Prussian Cabinets, excited and encouraged by false suppositions with re vect to France, are the ringleaders of that monstrous alliance, which being incapable of producing anything decisive, has already done much harm by the perturba tion and alarms which it has created in the contracts of the world. This is the first distinct avowal yet made of the real policy of France. We confess, with a recollec tion of the occurrences of the last six years not alto gether eradicated from our minds, it impresses us with no very exalted notion of the wisdom of the French Cabinet. If we remember rightly, it was ad mittedby M.THIERs himself in January last, that the status quo in the East could not- much longer be preserved without the intervention of the Great Powers. At all events, we are certain that France signed a note conjointly with the other Powe rs , i n which the Porte was instructed to negotiate no di rect settlement of the differences with the PACHA, as England, France, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, had charged themselves with that business. For the text of this note, we refer to the archives of the President of the Council. Then be it remembered .hat the SULTAN'S fleet was riding at anchor for upwards of a year at Alexandria ; that the kid napped crews were not suffered to return to their own country ; that the VICEROY kept an army for the whole time in readiness to march upon Con stantinple ; and that he had even the audacity to employ the SULTAN'S ships in the transport of troops intended to make war on the SULTAN'S subjects in Syria, and then point out i n w h at way chepolicy of France could avail in procrastinating a rupture which every hour rendered more and more inevitable ? No : the Four Powers acted upon the procrastinating policy of France as long as the y could—longer than was consistent with a prop er regard for the interests of the inhabitants of Turkey and Egypt. It was this procrastinating policy which compelled MEHEMET ALI to desolate Egypt, to keep on foot an immense army to prevent the possibility of his being attacked unawares ; and which, by distracting the attention of the Divan, prevented the progress of substantial reforms in Turkey and Syria. What follows includes the whole of this article not devoted to probabilities and conjectures ; and to that fanciful portion we have previously given when he proposes to do in the East that which France disapproves of —it is to France that he appeals to lend ber moral concurrence, the support of her influence ! '• Your influence," says he, " is all powerful at Alexan dria." Is that language serious? If it were not, France would have a right to complain of it. She is too great a personne for any one to resort to irony with her. If that language, as we have reason to believe, is serious, it approaches ingenuity. What ! France would employ her influence in order that the Convention of the 15th July, made without her, and in some measure against her, remain a dead letter ! France would come in aid of the Anglo-Russian alliance ! She would con tribute to lessen the man that is detested at St. Peters burgh, and whom Lord Palmerston and Lord Ponsonby pursue with their hatred. Again, the Pacha is free to restore, if he thinks pro per, ail her possessions to the Porte. He is free to be afraid, and to disown, if he likes, all the proceedings of his lifetime. France, as long as the Porte acts alone, as long as she remains sirgly mistress of the country, has nothing to say. But, whatever may be done in the name in the name of the convention of the 15th July, of the convention concluded clandestinely, without inviting pre viously and formally France to discuss it and to take part therein, assuredly the French Government will not give her assent thereto. Her part, the minimum as it were of her part, is an armed observation. The surplus will depend upon events, upon th e pru d ence or the au dacity of the Cabinets. The policy of France is known ; worthy ; Fran ce as k s f or no thi ng , equilibri um o f E urope to b e it but is disinterested, she will not a ii butuw tthe compromised with impunity. She loves peace ; she knows and appreciates the advantages of it ; but on the day when her right and honour would command it she would wage war as France can do it, and in that quer ter where France has the most interest do it. She would not allow herself to have a fi e ld o f b attle assigned to her I —she would choose it. We have here an important acknowledgment. France, so indifferent to what MEHEMET ALI tx ay choose to do, if he act of his own accord— who professes herself ready to peril the peace of Europe, out of regard, not to the welfare of his people, but his individual feelings, professes disap probation of the Treaty of London, and detects something like a sneer in the invitation to employ her mediation in rendering its execution by force unnecessary. Why was not this stated sooner ? And how does an objection to the end aimed at by the Treaty consist with a professed indifference as to whether MEHEMET ALI " voluntarily" retai❑ or yield up Syria, and even Egypt ? Does enlight ened France see no more in this great question than the duty of politeness to a rebel and an usurper? And is the Mediterranean to be discoloured with Christian blood, to prevent MEHEMET ALI from being compelled to perform an act in itself wholly indifferent to France ? We must confess that such lax morality on the part of a great Christian na tion disgusts and shocks us. We can see in it no evidence of true greatness, wisdom, or virtue ; and although M. MIGNET assures us that the KING and the country go heart and hand with the Cabi net in preparing for war, we shall be greatly mis taken if the zeal of both be not cooled by this Ministerial Manifesto. The communication from Berlin, which appears in another part of the Paper under the head of Dutch Mail, cannot fail to strike our readers. While the late King of PRUSSIA lived, he was almost universally praised for his clemency and his paternal government ; yet it appears at his death there were immured in different places not fewer than 2,998 State prisoners. In this country, previous to the Chartist movement, we believe there- was not one; and, notwithstanding all the strong speeches that have been made since, not a fiftieth part of that number have been committed to prison out of a population twice as great as that of Prussia. We mention this fact merely to contrast the treatment which political offenders receive under a constitutional and a paternal Govern ment, and at the same time to offer a tribute of praise to the present King of PRUSSIA. He was by certain parties represented at one time as a violent enemy of popular liberty, and bent on war with France, and even with Eng land, for the reforms intiOdu - Ced - by their respective Governments into the institutions of the respective countries ; while it now appears that his character has been cruelly maligned, and that he has taken the first opportunity of proving this fact, by the liberation of about 3,000 individuals, confined for imitating our example. This is a noble commence ment of a reign, and will have its effect not on Prussia only, but the whole of Germany. We stated some time ago that the peace party in France were intent upon the removal of M. THIERS from office as the surest means of preserv ing amicable relations with England. This was treated by some of our Contemporaries as an idle surmise, and passed over by others without notice. We observed, at the same time, that M. THIERS was too firmly fixed in the saddle to be thrown in a tilt with Marshal SOULT or Count MOLE; and that while nothing could be more desirable than his retirement till after the settling of the Eastern question, it was only to be expected from his pa triotism. The truth of that statement, and the correct ness of the opinion which we founded upon it, are fully confirmed by articles in the French Ministerial Journals of Wednesday. The attempt to oust M. THIERS was actually made, and, as we predicted, failed. The result may be guessed. M. TRIERS not only assumes the mien of a conqueror, but has compelled the KING to adopt his views under pe nalty of being denounced as wanting in sympathy with the lovers of tWilitary glory. A worse conse quence still is that M. THIERS, irritated, no doubt, at the attempt to oust him, declares that he will not resign the settlement of the Eastern Ques tion to any other statesman, and actually makes it a point of honour to continue in office. Mark the terms in which the Constitionnel—the personal organ of the President of the Council—contradicts a report in a Carlist paper of the proffered resigna tion of that Minister immediately after the return of the KING from Eu tire Texhteen m en t hemo f w h t o h e a r r e e i a n p a o a ffi s i c b e i l i a t y t p w r h es ic e h nt w f e ee ig l hs the u peonn they comprehend th e gran d eur o f t h e i r m i ss i on, whilstnd they therewould ia not aa cl ream European of crisis. causing N a at ministerial tb e crisis slightest difference betw een t h e C rown an d the Cabinet has arisen as to th e pol i t i cal conduct imposed upon France by the event o f t h e treaty of J u l y 1 5. The truth is, nothing has occurred to change the position of the Ca binet, but something has happened to alter the hopes of the e ultra-C onservatives leagued aga i nst i t. S ome days since an intrigue was spoken of which was working on some banks o f t h e Cham b er o f P ee r s an d some counting-houses of great financial repute, to up set the Ist of March Ministry. The theme of this coalition consisted in presenting M. Thiers as a Minister disagreeable to Europe, and as the only cause of the is o l at i on i n w hi c h France had been placed. Successors w ere a ll rea d y , who were to reconcile the French Government with the exterior. The Kir.g had only to call them to his Council.

Thi ers w h o wishe d to res i gn . The t ru th i s the Minist r y was not the least di s t ur bed by the se in trigues, as they were defeated by quite another influence than its own." The Courrier Francais is equally indignant, and directly charges Count MOLE with attempting to sow disunion between the KING and the Cabinet, to pave the way for his own return to office The affair was certainly bunglingly managed, and, un fortunately, has had the effect of compelling the KING, in order to maintain his popularity, to join the war party. The following is an extract from the article in the Courrier Francais of Wednesday : "The journals of M. Mole have, for some days, been endeavouring to represent the King as separate from his Ministry. This policy is disloyal, and does not show a great respect for the Constitution. It places:the King on one side and the nation on the other, as if the support of M. Mole had caused the scale to incline on one side. The King, justly offended at this manoeuvre, which tended to denationalise him, has, by his public acts, shown the perfect union of vi ws and sentiments which exists betiveen him and his Cabinet. He has explained himself to the Foreign Ambassadors ; and those who still believed in the existence of a personal Government may now be convinced that from the Ist of March, at least, he has ident . fied himself with the parliamentary Government. Except an article in the Constitutionnel, which will be found in another column, there is nothing of any interest about the Eastern Question or the Treaty of London in Wednesday's Journals. What general news they bring will be gleaned from the annexed extracts : The Moniteur Parisien of Tuesday night publishes the following explanation of the letter of the Count de Saint Leu, ex-King of Holland : " The room which Louis Bonaparte occupies in the Palais de Justice is certainly that in which Fieschi was confined, but the reproaches cast upon the authorities on this account are unwarranted. The chamber in question, several months ago, underwent a complete transformation, and was assigned as a lodging for the female inspector of the woman's ward, who was obliged to resign it on the arrival of Louis Napoleon." The Monileur states that a telegraphic despatch has been received from Bayonne, announcing that the English troops had completely evacuated Passages. The Nacional states that the Duke de Montpensier, who has just entered his 17th year, is to command a company of the line at the camp of Fontainebleau, and asks, " is it not pitiable to see a boy of 17 years of age, a schoolboy in vacation, commanding a company of French soldiers ?" The Duke of Orleans is a General, the Duke de Nemours a General, M. d'Aumale Lieutenant-Colonel, M. de Montpensier a Captain. They might be satisfied with being Princes without re quiring to be heroes. The Journal of the Saone and Loire mentions, that a discovery has just been made in the neighbourhood of Tournon, which is very interesting to the scientific world. Some fishermen from Truchere, who had cast their nets in the river Seilie, drew out a pair of enor mous horns, attached to the upper part of the head of a quadruped which may be considered as the head of the auroch, or primitive bull, an animal which was called an elephant by the ancient Gauls, on account of its enormous size. The dimensions of these horns, which are broke n st the extremities, are three-qu irters of a yard long, with a diameter of five inches at the base. The Mohiteur Perisien and Messager, the evening official prints, publish the following strange statement: — "Among the host of inventions in certain letters sent to provincial journals, an,l which are copied by some of the Paris journals, it has been said that M. d'Appony was personally irritated against M. Thiers for having suppressed a subvention which he received from the French Government. It is hardly necessary to state that this absurd calumny never had the least foundation in truth." POLISH COSTUME.—We have received positive in formation that the King of Prussia has addressed a Royal rescript to the States of the Grand Duchy of Posen, enjoining them to appear at the ceremony of his coronation, at Kcenigsberg, in the national costume of Poland. It is well known that at the time of the par tition it was the Emperor Joseph 11. alone who retained this last sign of the nationality of Poland, which was suppressed under his successors. Prussia and Russia would never hear mention of this costume, and the Em peror Alexander, who called himself the Restorer of Poland, would not permit the Paladins of the kingdom to appear in their national dress at his coronation. This concession, granted by Frederick William IV., added to the broad scale on which he has settled the differ ences between him and the Catholic Church in his Polish territories, has filled the minds of all his Polish subjects with enthusiasm.—Presse. We have the following letter from Toulon, dated the 28th of August : " Admiral Rosamel's squadron of four ships of the line is in sight, and is going to cast anchor in the road. It comes from Tunis. The Jena is hastening to take stores on board, in order to rejoin the Levant squadron. " It is impossible not to blame again on this occasion the weakness of the Ministry, which, actuated by merely personal considerations, divided our force in the Medi terranean ; and thus, in the course of a conflict which it conceives to be not imminent, but against which it ought to take precautions, exposes us to be beaten in detail by a more prudent enemy." Another letter from Toulon, confirming the return of the four ships of the line, under Admiral Rosamel, an nounces that this division is going to put to sea again in company of the Jena and the Scipion, to complete the crew of which every exertion is making. It was reported at Toulon that Vice-Admiral Baudin was going to take the command ; others affirm that Admiral Duperre will come to command the fleet. Is Admiral Lalarde definitely recalled ? The accounts from Barcelona and Madrid are of the 25th. Madrid, preparations were making for some un known danger, as happened in France in 1830. A great number of the inhabitants of Madrid, fearing that the Government will proceed in the fatal course on which it has entered, have just formed a " Patriotic Constitutional Assochtion," the object. of which will be the defence of the laws, and of the National t..3onstitu don. They have called on all the men in every part of the Peninsula, who are worthy by their opinions or their conduct, to take part in this enterprise. Some former nnisters have joined this Association, —Le Commerce. BOURSE.—PARts, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 2. 1 irst Highest Lowest Last Price l'rice. Price.

Some ascribe this to general political considerations, espe cially with regard to Turkey. Others affirm that this repose is rendered necessary, both by the dreadful heat and the great sickness which prevails among the Russian troops. The preparations for striking a decisive blow, however, continue. Fresh troops are constantly ar riving in Bessarabia. Thus the twelve divisions of in fantry under Lieut.-General Ruszyn (ot which two re giments were previously detached to the actual Corps of Operations) lately arrived from Warsaw. This division belongs to the fourth corps, which forms the Reierve, and will probably winter in Bessarabia. The head-quarters are at Kiszineff. Next to this is the 11th division in Kaminecz, and then the 10th in Kiew, where the Emperor will shortly arrive to inspect the troops. While the Russians are thus quiet, the Circassians, on their part, seem to be preparing for the approaching struggle. Most of the tribes are quiet, only the Tschetschenses and the Kabardines make from time to time sudden attacks on the Russian troops, and cause them to suffer much loss. It is pretty confidently re ported that Prince Paskewitsch is expected to direct the gigantic operations against the fanatic mountain tribes. HAMBURG BORSENHALLE, SEPT. 1. Bills. Money.

Some important public sales were declared. insertion : I Far be it from us to desire or even to think of ex asperating the quarrel. If it were in our power to erase, with one stroke of the pen, the incidents of the last six weeks, and to establish at the very instant be tween England and France, between the two great Constitutional nations of Europe, that intimate union which was alike useful and honourable for both coun tries, and which alone would guarantee the peace of the world, assuredly we should not hesitate in doing so.
