The principal article of importance in the French Papers
is one in the Pilate of Sunday from Mentz. If we admit
that the Pilate is correct in attributing a demi-oft/do/ cha-
racter to this article, the only conclusion that can be drawn
from it is, that it is the object of the writer, whoever he
may be, to remove the prejudices and objections of the
liberal party in Europe to the interference of Russia, as
far as demonstrations go, in the affairs of Greece. In short,
everything seems to confirm the general views which we
have repeatedly laid before our readers on this subject.

The trial of the Editor of the Etude for defamation, in
the cage of LA (7/IA lOTA'S, is going on before the Tri-
bunal of Correctional Police. However unfounded the ac-
cusations of the Etnile may have been, it is impossible to
suppose that a Court of Justice can visit a case of this sort
with any degree of severity. The descendants of the
,111trist Dint:Rol., as he has been called, might prosecute
the Editor of the Etoile on this principle, as those of LA
CIIALOTAIS have done, who is accused of being hit as-
sociate.

the same journal, an article from the Oriental Spectator, of pretty
recent date, but it is another of the eternal accusations against the
Greeks, and it is easy to ace that it comes from the same source as
the last article of the Austrian Observer, for the news and the re-
flections follow in the same order.

We have received the Madrid Gazette, which announces officially
that the Infanta Louisa Charlotte has been delivered of a son, and
that " Te Deum" has been performed in consequence in the Royal

Letters from Alexandria, in Egypt, say that the scarcity of
money is met severely felt there. It was not believed at first that
the Egypti.,ns would meet with such an obstinate resistance in
Greece, and it is believed that Mehemet Ali is preparing a new ex-
pedition for the Mores. Ibrahim's troops cost several millions a
month. If we add that his father, not content with having ships
of war built in several European ports, has sent an agent to
Sweden to have cannon cast for him, and that the crops in Egypt,
of which he has the monopoly, have been very bad for the two last
years, we shall easily imagine that he must be much embarrassed in
his finances. _ _ _

From the Pilote of Sunday.l
PARIS, APRIL 15.

A (lemon Journal contains a remarkable article, dated from
Mentz. By its language, which has an official character, it is ap-
parent that the anonymous author must hold a high diplomatic rank.
An article of the Times serves him to explain the views of Russia,
and to prove that the mission of the buke of Wellington would
have no result. He says, he would have passed over in silence the
opinions of the English Journalist if they had not been literally in-
serted in the Moniteur, in answering the Times. The author says
that that paper has pretended that these powers, in concert with
England, had commissioned the Duke of Wellington to declare to
Russia that they were resolved to demand of the Porte the en-
franchisement of Greece, and that they were resolved to oppose
all hostilities on the part of Russia against the Porte, with
the sole view of securing the tranquillity of Europe. The author
remarks that such a measure would be far from securing peace, and
that the demand of eitfreinehisement cannot be made without hostile
intentions, and without the intervention of Russia- The Times,
says he, thinks that such an arrangement would suit that power.
►ecause the intestine enemies with whom it has to contend, render it
',possible for it to t►ink of a foreign war, and the more so, all all
the neighbouring states of the empire have a right to demand the
disbanding or the reduction of an army in a state of mutiny.
The author replies, that the English journal is ignorant of the
state of Russia; that it ix undoubtedly ignorant that the intestine
troubles are appeased, and that the army, consisting of 800,000
men, has always remained faithful to its duties, and had in its
ranks only a very small number of battalions which were led
astray, but which very soon returned to order ; and with respect to
some officers who figure among the conspirators, they are all in
irons, and no longer make any part of the army. Nevertheless the
patriotic wishes of the Russian nation, which has testified no dis-
content at the change of the Sovereign, ere not overlooked by the
Emperor, Nicholas I. The. Times, when it pretends that the
critical situation of the finances of Russia renders it impossible for
1 it to take arms, falls into an error which is still more remarkable
than the first.

A magnanimous Prince, who has just ascended the throne of
a vast empire, must find, in the character at•.d the interest of his
people—in the position and strength of his government—the ele-
'tient, of his policy. It is these several considerations which in.
sure him a marked preponderance of the career which Provi-
dence ha• just opened to him, and from •hi:h he cannot turn
aside. How could he, in the situation in which he is placed, listen
in the councils of those who prepare tor him a great future hu-
miliation, and the debasement of the dignity with which he is
invested ?

Germany, which knows the projects of England, founds the
greatest hopes in favour of humanity, in the wisdom of the
powerful monarch of the north.
We learn from Frankfort, that of 4.000 bales of wool in the
warehouses of that city, only 200 have been sold at the fair ;
the Belgians, formerly the moat considerable purchasers of that
article, have not come to the fair. It is afllmied that they hope
to buy at much lower prices. English manufactured good. bays
met with so buyers, sad the warebinuas au fell of thus.
