not leave London until after the presentation to
the Queen of his letters of recall and the arrival of

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

I call your attention to an incendiary article in
the Univers, appealing to the worst passions in order
to stir up a warlike feeling against England. This
article, the second of its kind, derives ita importance
from the fact that Louis Veuillot, the writer, is now
in great favour at the Tuileries, where he has not
only his grand's but his potato entrees. Moreover,
the news of this very day is that the government
has just granted to the Univers the privilege which,
at the instigation of Vallinot, was lately withdrawn
from the Silas—namely, that of being sold in the
streets. I subjoin some extracts from this valuable
commentary upon M. de la GuerronniAre's oily
pamphlet which has been translated for the use of
English simpletons, and is sold in England at the
price of one penny.

It there is one thing on earth more manifest than another
at the present moment it is the obstinate determination of

the English to refuse the just demands of Franco. English
statesmen may possibly not be &complies* In this ob-
stinacy, but their prudence is powerless. Public
opinion, goaded by the press, turns a deaf ear
to meson. Mr. Disraeli, with all his phrases so adroitly dis-
courteous towards us, is extremely likely to fail like Lord
Palmerston. The pride of England is wounded. The wound
is an old one ; It waa caused, we believe, not by the first
dispatch of our Minister of Foreign Affairs; not by the
solemn cry which rose is France against the laboratory of
. .

assassinations; not even by the military addresses insetted
in the Mersireor by an error sufficiently explained. The
wound was inflicted in the Crimea, at the Alma, at Inker-
mann, at the Malakoff, everywhere when the French were
the first on the field, and penetrated the deepest into the
enemy's ranks. St. Arnaud, Bonnet, Canrobert, Paltrier,
Maclidahon—these are the men who wounded the pride of
England. Another wound has been inflicted by the fact that
India la in flame. while France is in pesos ; that Kabylis
has been added to French Africa while British India lain a
decline. Then, again, the King of Naples has not been de-
throned ; he has not begged pardon for having defended his
throne, and has not delivered up to the English the
porta of Sicily. Moreover, minor wounds have been
inflicted in the United States, and even in Persia
and Constantinople. All these circumstances ought to
have lowered a little of that extreme arrogance which
WOW or later becomes the weakness of the strong.
But John Bull, like the Emperor of China, believes him-
self to be the son of heaven, and like that sovereign,
be has the habit of strangling the messenger who is
the bearer of evil tidings. • • • • •
We sincerely wish that England would understand this
magnanimous language of the Emperor to his ambassador
in London Explain well to the ministers of her Majesty
the nature of our position ; we do not now seek to protect
my life but to preserve the alliance." If we admire this
language, it Is not that we care for the &Stenos, for nothing
is lees cared for by French sentiment, and this is proved
in the most startling manner by the august gravity of the
Emperor's words. But political reason and Christian reason
have spoken and have been hearkened to. They teach
us that peace mutt be maintained as long as it is possible,
and as long as honour permits it; this honour is also a
political meson, and, when well understood, the first of all
111111110111/. France, in spite of her eternal thirst for glory, in
spits of the long and indignant shuddering left by a defeat
incompletely teethed out, would nevertheless prefer a difficult
peace to a war, even a successful one, if she could hope that
the triumph of justice con be obtained by peace.
lie concludes by saying that " France feels that
she can no longer remain in a state of moral infe-
riority, that she feels that her true destiny is to be
the bras arms of right, and that she will uneasily
accept the counsels of those who advise her to be
patient and will only love those who may determine
to ask for blood."

I cannot too emphatically contradict the assertion
made by one of those Loadon journals which think
it necessary, in the interest of the alliance, to echo
whatever is said at the Tuileries, that "never did
anti-English feeling run so high in France is now."
I affirm the contrary to be the case, and that never
at any period in history were the French people
less disposed to quarrel with England than now.
The Moniker publishes an Imperial decree re-
organising the Council of Admiralty.
The official journal reports that his Imperial High-
ness Prince Jerome Napoleon is now convalescent.
The Memorial de Lille says that the new pass-
port regulations are carried out with the utmost
rigour in all the ports of the Channel. Nobody can
land at Dunkirk, Calais, or Boulogne, unless he has
complied with all the required formalities. Several
foreigners have been sent back from all these towns.
M. Carlier, the old Prefect of Police, is very busy,
giving advice to M. Boittelle. I understand that he
is installed at the Prefecture, and works there all
day long.
The Moniteur says:

The police have just effected some Important arrests. For
some time past robberies have been very common at night
at country houses in the communes of Nenil iy, Auteuil, Busy,
natio:, to. The attention of Mayon.). having been directed
to the teat, a watch was set, and several of the depredators
have bean wrested, and a groat number of the stolen article.,
such u beds, time pieces, looking•glaaees, &c, have bean
foetid at their lodgings.
The Bourse wan unsettled. The Rents fell 10c.

SWITZERLAND.

B4RNE, MARCH 23.

It is announced that in the last audience accorded
by the Emperor to Dr. Kern, his Majesty seemed
disposed to reconsider the passport question. The
government has made an objection to the establish-
ment of the new consulates, bat has not yet adopted
a definitive resolution respecting them.

WRECK ON THE COAST OF THE FALKLAND
ISLANDS.—A letter written from the Falkland Islands In
behalf of the crew of the North American ship Antoinette,
Mates that that ship has been wrecked on the coast of the
Falkland Islands, while on its way to London. "We got to
Berkeley Sand," says the letter, "on the second day after
we left the ship, or rather to • settlement at Port William,
where we found an American consul, to whom the captain
told our lose, and that there was a boat and five men adrift,
whom we had lost sight of. The good old gentlemen
got a vessel the same afternoon, and at daylight
the next morning proceeded to look for them, el-
though it blew • gale of wind. His last words
to um were, Dont't fear, if they are alive I will find them ;*
and find them he did on one of the small Wanda, with boat
stove and without water; and the mew informed me
that he never left the deck ar slept until he did find them,
when he showed them every kindness in his power. He
was absent but four days. I am informed by the Inha-
bitants of the colony that he has always base in the
habit of acting in ibis way for many years. He is the seine
