oat exciting one jealous movement or repack, even
from the French marine press. •
We recollect an excitement similar to that got
up respecting Cherbourg, caused not merely through'
England, but throughout Europe, by the determina-
tion of Louis PHILIPPI to fortify Peri,. That fortifi-
cation was carried into effect immediately alter the
events of Syria, and the reduction of Maunder Au.
The French Government and M. Taigas spent mil-
lions on the walls, ditches, and works which surround
Paris; and people said, with his capital thus secure,
the French monarch can pour his hundreds of
thousands of soldiers over the Rhine. The came is
pretty much the same u that of Cherbourg. Both
are great works of defence, the one medal in a war
with Europe, when France must send forth a million
of fighting men ; the other in a naval war with
England, when France must make still greater
efforts. Let as trust, as well as believe, that no such
events will take place. And let as also know that
great works of defence, whether round Paris or
before Cherbourg, will not hasten their taking place.
Great kings and countries will play at soldiers and
at sailors. Let them do so, and let us look on at
their sport, but not through the telescope of terror
that exaggerates every man into a monster, and
metamorphoses quays into instruments of aggression.

We learn with much satisfaction that Mr. Barbar
(late i ctimr-Constil at Naples) haa been appointed
atßichmond, in the 'United States. This
appointment, which is worth about 70W. a year, was
recently held by Mr. G. P. R. Junes, the well-known
novelist, who has been moved to Venice.

We are requested to state that the royal com-
missiostre ens:Sated is inquire tato the state of the store

Meaty requested to send a written statement of the points on

ALEXANDP.IA.

TRIESTR, JULY 26.

News from Alexandria, of the 18th, states that the
Christians had been insulted and menaced in that
city, but that the aggressors had been immediately
arrested.

A garrison of 8,000 men and the energetic mea-
sures adopted had completely dissipated any fear of
serious danger.

of the land, against whose tyrannical exactions the
Christian pageantry have revolted. Having first
conveyed their wives a$ children to a place of re-
fuge on the Austrian side of the river Onna, the
rayahs, to the number of 4,000, led on by a Bervian
named Taraccif, and wielding their axes, knives,
and scythes, marched against a troop of 1,400 baahi-
bazooka encamped on the hill of Henske, who were
routed and compelled to leave great store of arms
and ammunition, flying in a direction where their
retreat was threatened to be intercepted by another
band of the Christian insurgents, under the leader-
ship of one Kremlin, between Novi and Banjaluka.
The Turkish regulars, however, were approaching
from Novi Hazer and Mostar to put down the
combatants.

From this wide excursion, returning to affairs
nearer home, I may tell you of the war between
homoeopathic and allopathic professors of the heal-
ing art which is to occupy on Wednesday next the
judicial consideration of the Civil Tribunal of the
Seine, in the form of an action for libel against the
editors and publisher of the Unios 'falcate for a
severe article which Dr. Gallard lately wrote in its
pages upon the homccopathio treatise of M. Magran.
EMU. 011ivier is counsel tbr the disciples of Hahne-
mann, who have made common cause against their
censor. A provincial court of criminal procedure, at
Arbois, is about to be occupied with the details of
an enormous system of smuggling, just discovered,
in which a number of persona of the respectable
class, merchants and tradesmen, innkeepers and rural
proprietors, combined together in different parts of
France to cheat the revenue by the surreptitious in-
troduction of Indian cashmeres to an unknown
amount.

New and stringent regulations are impending over
the courtiers macrons, or outsiders of the coutiose,
who are charged by the privileged brokers of the
parquet with practice; tending "to paralyse the
movement of the Bente." There was next to no bu-
siness done on the Bourse to-day, and the Rents
closed weakly at 68f. 23c. to 68f. 20c. The price of
Credit Mobilier was maintained, but with no de-
mand. French railways were unchanged ; the
Austrian fell a little. A rumour prevailed that the
negotiations of the Western, Eastern, and Southern
Railway Companies with the government had been
brought to a conclusion ; the demand which they
make is to be allowed to revert to the conditions
specified by the law of Inns, 1842, for the execution
of certain sections of their branch lines. It is an-
nounced that a contract was signed on Wednesday
for The purchase by the Lyons and Mediterranean
Company of the stock of the Dauphiny Railway Com-
pany, of which 30,000 shares are to be taken at
once, and the remainder after two years.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.

The Ripon, Captain Po#ell, arrived at Southamp-
ton yesterday, with dm heavy portion of the Bombay mall.
She left Alexandria 3* 10 ; Malta, 14; and Gibraltar, 19.
Amongst her cargo were 1,491 balm of silk and 33 cams of
shawls. Her Majesty's steamer Medina was at Alexandria.
The Marlborough, Conqueror, Prima= Royal, Centurion,
and Vulture, were at Malta. The Ripen poised the Penin-
sular steamer Alhambra off the &whop on the 21M Inst.,
sad the Indian packet Colombo thy mike north of Cape
Finisterre on the 22nd inst. The Ripon he exporksold bad
weather nearly all the way from 'Caps da Game. She we
detained off Europa Point, at Gibraltar, ;thirteen home In a
dense fog; In the Channel also she experienced dense fogs.
During the whole of Saturday night and Sunday morning
she met with very strong winds. She mimed Hurst Castle
at 6 a.m. yesterday, and it had blown so hard that the pilot
on the look out for her had the mast of his vessel
broken, and ha was unable to go out to the Ripon in comm-
unions. The latter therefore approached off Cowes, end
there mine to an anchor. Here two Isle of Wight steamers
attempted to go almonds her and take out her mails, but
they could not do so on amount of the roughness of the see.
The Ripon came into Southampton dock about noon pester
day. Amongst her passengers wee Lieutenant•
M'lntyre, who commanded the 78th Highlanders at the relief
of Luelthow under Havelock.

The Otbroltar Chronicle says that Mr. Franklin Pierce
and lady arrived there on the llth, and west on to Mar.
meilles. From Malta we learn that her Majesty's ship Marl-
borough, in prooeeding to that port, fell in with and assisted
with previsions and water two French barques bound from
Martinique to Marreilles, one of which had on board a lady,
several of the passengers and some of the crew of •
Sardinian vessel bound from Genoa to Martinique,
with which she had come into collision. The fate of the
Sardinian ship wee not known, as the (*Melon occurred at
night. The lady was separated from her hoaband doting the
collision, and she did not know what became of him. he
seine of Sardinian was said to be the Das Fratelli. Her
Majesty's ship Princess Royal, at Malta, was under saftlng
cedars for a cruise. The Wanderer had left Malta for
Corfu. It wasp: that the Malta squadron would
shortly be despatched to Alexandria with reference to the
Jeddah atrocity. From Gibraltar we learn also that the rati-
floations of the postal treaty between England and Spain were
exchanged on the 10th that. The Ripon will leave South-
ampton again on the 10th proximo for Alexandria, and wll
take out a Bombay mall and a large number of troops, who
are to proceed overland to India.
