We have given a few• expects in another column from
the Paris" Papers of Sunday. They complain earnestly
and justly of the neglect shown by the French Govern-

rnertt to the commerce and manufactures of the country.
The tone of public opinion is decidedly in favour of a
line of policy similar to that of England, with regard to
tle new American States, though it is probable that the
cenneetion subsisting between the great Powers of the
Continent and the Court of the Tuileries will compel the
latter yet to deftr any positive measure against the de-
claret, principles 'of' thl 'Holy Alliance. The French
people, how..ver, cannot patiently see theinst-lves excluded
from ell direct intercourse with South Amtrica ; and the
Opposition Journals are engaged daily in reprtsentina, in
. _

the most livtly colours, the advantages it Itich France thus

denies hcrielf. The commercial interest may be not strong
4eaciugh to force the Government to break at otice from its
forcip trammels; but there cae be no doubt that the in-.
fillel`Ce of tl.at body till prevent the Gorernment from
assuming an unfriendly attitude towerda this country, in

Yurope will be disturbed. game of the Royalist journals
Mention a report the previons evening, on the Paris S:ock
. ineltange, that news had been received unfavourabitt to
' the continuance of the wneral peace, from the Courts to
which communications had been sent relative to the re-
cognition of South American independence by England.
• We ascribe this report entirely to the jobbers, who were
..•
• speculating on the decline of the funds. The Fruile of
Monday's date makes no allusion to this news, but
simply declares that it 'Aims diem is uo foundation"
for the assertion that the King of the NLTIIIIILANDS is
about to negotiate commercial treaties with the new States.
Whatever the Ficile may believe--and it professes to be-
beve that BOLIVAR is defeated, and that the Royalists,
baring triumphed in Peru, are invading Colombia.
The fact is, that the Government of the Nether..
lands does intend, perhaps not itnmediately, but at no
great distance of time, to tettle its commercial arrange-

:news with Atnerica en such a basis es may be suitable
wits own interests, without paying any further deference
to the absurd prejudices of Spain. The Journal tylic;el

of its Government, fr.n. :he English papers, without any

qualifying note or observation. The language of the

FRENCH PAPERS.

[From the Morainic of Sunday.]
The official part contains only the introduction of Prince
Volkonsky, Extraordinary Ambassador from his Majesty the Em-
peror of Russia., to condole with His Majesty Charley X. on the oc-
casion of the death of King Louie XVIII. and to offer the felicita-
tions of the Emperor of Russia on his accession to the Throne.

A letter from Rochfort announces the arrival of his Majesty's
frigates the Circe and the Arethusa, from Cadiz, with discharged
soldiers on board. The first is going to Toulon. and the second,
it is said, to Cadir. The Magistrates have caused to be seized in
the residence of Messrs. Benson and Passot, several small boxes
with false bottoms, sonic containing indecent pictures, and others
effigies of Bonaparte.
[From the Etoik, dated Monday.]
PARIS. JAN. 38.
Our readers recollect the prohibition of the French Government
to Sir Robert Wilson to return:to France with his family. This Ea.
English General has resided for some months at Brussels, and being
now desirous of returning home by way of Caleb', to have the ad-
vantage of the steam-boat, he applied to the Cabinet of Paris, to
obtain permission to pass through the French territory, and em-
bark at Calais. This application, though supported, it is said, by
an English diplomatic character, has been refused. Sir Robert
Wilson has therefore been obliged to proceed with his two daughters
to Ostend, where he waits till the weather is fair to return to
London.
The Courrier Francois says, after the English Papers, that the
King of the Netherlands is going to nagociate treaties of commerce
with the Republics of Mexico and Colombia. with Buenos Ayres,
Chili, and Brasil. We believe that there is no foundation whatever
for this news.
We find the following redaction in the Oriental Spectator, which
Journal is an enemy to theOreeks :
" It will be long before people in Europe will be able to have
well-founded notions on the situation of Greece, and on the affairs
of the East.
" This twofold malady in Europe (viz. the Interest that all par-
ties take in the Greeks) is unfortunately without hope of cure.
" The Liberals are for the (:reeks, bemuse they dream of nothing
hot revolution, emancipation, independence, without paying any
attention to time, men, or things.
" On the other hand, wise ace. moderate mm, the friends of good
order and legitimacy, the true and venerable columns of social order,
are also for the Greeks, because they have adopted a false idea,
which they would not renounce even if august truth were to descend
from heaven expressly to undeceive them. From having read it
over and over in verse and prose, they have at last persuaded them-
selves that the Turks are enemies to the Cross; whereas the Turks
tolerate all religions. honour them all, arid make war on the Greeks,
not because they are Christians, but because they are rebels."

[From the Journal de: Mints of Sunday.]
PARIS, JAW. 29.
Is it from system or negligence that the Alinister treats the in-
, terests of French Maritime commerce, as it it were nothing in the
balance of political economy ? Is it wished to repress the course
of the industrious class to the profit of that false aristocracy,
formed of officers and pensioners of the Ministers ? It would be •
disastrous picture, but it would still be a picture. Our Minister
does not seem to have these views himself ; but he perhaps receives
impulses which urges him in a direction to views not consistent
with the national interest. If such be not the explanation of the
ministerial system, with regard to commerce, we cannot say but we
see extreme negligence.
Already base Birmingham, Liverpool, and London, definitively
the exclusive supplies of European goods to Mexico, Colombia,
and Buenos Ayres. In carrying thither our silks and fashions,
they study the taste of the Americans, and order manufacturers
to imitate the objects which succeed best on the other side the
ocean, hoping thus to ravish from os even those branches which
would seem to belong to us. In a year or two, it will be too late
for us to offer opposition to this plan.
A projrt do lui is however pres'ntcd, which pays proper atten-
tion to navigation; by what fatality must another branch of our
commerce be struck? " Vessels navigating with papers of two or
more Powers shall be condemned for piracy.',
This is what the law proposes on piracy, and no attention has
been paid to it ; but the inaporuirce of this measure Pill be under.
stood when it is known on whom it will fall.

Every ship that goes to Ilayti first goes to St. Thomas's to take
false papers and flags, whether Danish or of any other neuter
nation, so as to gain admittance into the Haytian ports ; they then
return home under the French flag. It is thus that Bourdeaux
carries on a commerce of 15 or 18 millions per annum. The pro-
posed law, if it pass, will render this commerce very dangerous. and
perhaps impossible. The King's ships stationed in the American
seas must of necessity seize the merchant ships going to the ports
of Hayti with their double papers.
Let us look to another quarter of the world. What have become
of the young establishments that were formed six years ago on the
island of Madagascar, an island which of itself might have re.
placed our lost colonies? The fact is, that we have lost all influ-
ence among the native Chiefs, and that the most powerful are be-
come allies of England.
Of what use is it to keep this vain phimtom of a possession in
which Pondicherry offers ? We huMot the right to raise a fort
there ; the number of oar soldiers, Jet us rather say our police, is
restrained within the narrowest limits by a humiliating treaty. In
thort, we are placed thereon the outskirts of the sovereignty of
England. Why not, like Holland, make an advantageous exchange
for a precarious and incomplete possession ? So that we have lege
colonies and less maritime commerce than Powers of the second or-
der, and we shall remain in this situation u long as we shall be
led by Ministers who see nothing beyond the Stock Exchange and
their own parlours.

The letters frcm Italy announce astonishment at the small num-
ber of pilgrims ; no good is augured from it in the ensuing jubilee.
It is true that few of the faithful were expected from France, tier-
many, and other distant countries ; but they reckoned on the arrival
of a great number of Italians immediately after the opening of the
Jubilee, and the Italians are not yet come.
