LONDON :
SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1839.

By extraordinary express from Paris the following
telegraphic dispatch communicated to the French
Government on Thursday afternoon, has been received
in Loudon. It created a great stir in the French
capital, and confirmes the surmise which we expressed
in The Sun of yesterday, of the untruth of the state-
meat that the Turkish fleet had been intercepted by
Admiral STOPFORD, and conveyed by a British squad-
ron to Constantinople. The re-crossing of the Euphra-
tes by the Egyptain army, adds greatly to the facility
of a pacific arrangement by the five great Powers.
It is particularly fortunate as depriving Russia of any
pretext for extending the withering shield of her
especial protection over the youth SULTAN:
" ALEXANDRIA, Juts, 16.—The Turkish fleet, under
the command of the Catpitan Pacha, arrived here on the
14th, to place itself at the disposal of Mehemet Ali.
" He (the Viceroy) says, that he will not restore it to
the Porte until the Grand Vizier, Kosrew Pacha, shall
have been removed from office, and until his own heredi,
tary right to the countries he governs be recognized.
"The Egyptian army has received orders to retire be-
hind the Euphrates."

Want of space to-3ay e3mpels us to omit our
usual Summary of the Parliamentary Debate. We re-
commend that in the Commons to perusal.

The Lords are proceeding in their usual course
of legislation. They are systematically undoing
all that has been done in the Commons, setting at
defiance public opinion, and sacrificing the in-
terests of the country, in order to advance the in-
terests of party. Night after night is signalized by
some outrageous act on the part of this assembly
of long-eared legislators, whose peculiar privi-
lege it seems to be equally exempted from the
dominion of common sense and common decency.
Can any thing be more humiliating to the national
cFaracter than the existence of such an assembly.
Is there a people under the sun, not even except-
ing the Hottentots, so dead to every feeling of
self-respect, as patiently to 'submit their necks
to be trampled on by such a set of fools and knaves
as, politically speaking, every candid person must
acknowledge the late conduct of the Tory Lords
has proved them to be ? Is there one spark of
honour, one single particle of patriotism, or the
least regard to the welfare of the country, to be
found in nineteen-twentieths of that mongrel crew,
whose sole business it is to snarl and yelp, and pre-
vent others from doing good, because they are un-
able and unwilling to do it themselves ? _ _

We have sometimes found fault with the
Chartists for the precipitation with which they
urge on their plans for remodelling the Constitu-
tion. We have counselled them to wait until the
minds of men are better prepared for such changes
as they propose, to trust to the progress of know-
ledge, and to the effect that may be expected to be
produced on the governing powers by the force of
puic opinion. Can the Chartists have a stronger
justification of their proceedings than the conduct
of the House of Lords ? We think not. We think
that after that House has shown itself so callous, so
utterly impenetrable to every consideration that
ought to sway, we do not say a Legislative body, but
men gifted with reason and reflection, it is in vain
to expect that any improvement will be allowed, or
can be made, until the " pressure from without"
becomes irresistible.
The truth is, the Lords calculate on the apathy
of the people. They. imagine that the present
storm which is agitating a portion of the woiking-
classes will soon blow over, and under the influence
of that imagination, they play their pranks in fan-
cied security. Let them beware that it be not in-
. creased to a hurricane which may sweep them
to speedy destruction. Were their interests
the PnlY thing at stake, such a consum-
mation were devoutly to he wished. They
would then; instead of indulging in brutal merri-
ment, as they did the other night, at the barbarous
and degrading treatmeitt inflicted on the working
men imprisoned in Warwick Castle, be made to
laugh on the wrong side of their mouths.
Tbe last exploit which they have performed is
one for which they will have to answer to the people
in an especial manner. The Government, it is well
known, has been indefatigable in its exertions to put
down the slave trade. Unfortunately not only has
success not crowned their efforts, but it is a
melancholy fictn that the hellish trade is brisker
now than eve Our emancipation of the negroes
under our dominion has greatly stimulated the sub-
jects of foreign Powers to embark in slave adven-
tures, whi.lll, when successful, realize enormous
profits. It ;.s under the infamous flag of Portugal
that almost ail this iniquity is carried on, and
treaties have again and again been made with that
Power, with the view of enlisting it in the
cause of humanity, and prevailing upon it
to prevent its subjects from engaging in the inhu-
man traffic. These treaties have all, on some pre-
tence or other, been evaded, because the Portu-
guese Government was never sincere in the cause
it professed to undertake. The Queen's Ministers,
therefore, seeing the difficulties—some of them
arising out of our own Courts of Law, to which
the owners of captured slave vessels often appealed
—which lay in the way of efficient operations
against the Portuguese slavers, brought into Parlia-
ment a Bill, one object of which was to remove these
obstacles, and render the condemnation of captured
slaves more certain. The Bill passed the Commons
without a whisper of dissent, not because there
were wanting_ persons there who would have de-
prived the Government of the credit of such a
measure—far from it ; but because those persons
feared their constituents, well knowing how deep
and general an interest is felt in the question.

but no such fears harass the minds of the
Lords. They have no constituents. They
are responsible, as one of them said, only to
God, and the day of reckoning is, or, which is the
same thing, is supposed to be, far off. They,
therefore, without more ado, dispatched the Bill, as
they have done so many others—strangling it under
the silliest and the falsest of all pretences, namely,
that it was not necessary, and that the Crown
might make war on Portugal without the sanction
of Parliament if it pleased I Thus are we
left, by this insane ebullition of party spirit,
in a situation ten times worse than we
were before ; for Portugal after she finds
that the House of Lords have thrown the
shield of their protection over her traffic in human
flesh, will prosecute it with redoubled energy, and
laugh at our future attempts to prevent it.

Lord BROUGHAM has recommended that the
slave-trade should at once be declared piracy ; and
to this, it is evident, we must soon come, or give
up the cause for - lost. Than that Noble and
Learned Lord, no one, we are sure, feels a stronger
interest in the question, or has done more to for-
ward the great cause of humanity. We were not
at all surprised, therefore, to see, by the proceed-
ings of the House of Lords last night, after the
above remarks were in type, that the Noble and
Learned Lord, who deplores and condemns, as we
do, the decision of the Peers, should have moved
an address to her Majesty, calling on her Majesty
to use her strongest efforts, by negociations or
otherwise, with Foreign Powers, to put down the
traffic in slaves. His Lordship's address was
warmly supported by the Ministers, and op ad-
by the Duke of WELLINGTON, who declarel,_'fat
it was undoing one night what their Lordships "had
clone the night before. His Grace, however,
was obliged to swallow that bitter pill, for the ad-
dress was voted unanimously. Stfch speedy re-
tribution seldom follows the commission of an act
of factious folly.

The whole of the Parrs Papers of Thursday have
been received, but they bring no news of public interest.

which have consented to guarantee the advance of two
millions in specie by the Bank of France to the Bank of

lonel HODGES.

There is no further intelligence from the East, with
the exception of the following paragraph, which appears
in the Courrier Francais :

TOULON, JULY 27.--A very extraordinary piece of
news, if it be confirmed, has been circulated to-day in this
port. It is said that Admiral Lalande's squadron has
passed the Dardanelles, and is now before Constan-
tinople. This news was brought to Marseilles by the
English packet Hermes, despatched express, and was
transmitted by telegraph to the Maritime Prefect. The
circumstance is thus explained :—Admiral Roussin, the
French Ambassador at Constantinople, having learnt that
the Russian fleet in the Black Sea was approaching the
Bosphorus, sent to M. Boutenieff and to the Divan a pro-
test against this proceeding, and gave orders at the same
time to M. Lalande to sail with all his fleet for the mouth
of the Dardanelles. Subsequently some ships of war,
carrying the Russian flag, having appeared in the Bospho-
rus, Admiral Lalande entered the Dardanelles, directing
his fleet towards Constantinople.
The packet Hermes came to Marseilles from Malta,
which it left on the 20th. The despatches were imme-
diately forwarded to London by express. They state that
Admiral Stopford's fleet has stopped that of the Capitan
Pacha, which it keeps in check.
