FRANCE.

In The Sun of Thursday last, we alluded to a
long article in the Constztutzenne/, the semi-official
organ of the French Government, on an anonymous
pamphlet, purporting to be by a Belgian, relative
to the marriage of the Duke de Brabant with the
Archduchess of Austria. The substance of the
pamphlet was that Belgium could never be an in-
dependent state, but must be confounded with or
dependent upon some neighbouring and more im-
portant government ; that France is the country
which should possess or protect Belgium ; and that
in consequence of this marriage, which was a defi-

ance of France, she must necessarily fall into the
arms of Austria. To these views the Constu-
tionnel gave a kind of qualified assent, and the
course so taken by that journal has been se It
commented on by the press on the Continent.
was even said that " explanations" would be de"
manded by the Belgian Government in reference to.
the offensive article. The A nemblee Nationale and.
the Siècle of yesterday, now reprobate the conduct
of the Constitutionact, under the perfect convic-
tion, apparently, that it is disapproved of by the

Gov:en:in-lent.
The Sieele, after quoting some offensive Passag
ge°ueis
in the pamphlet says : "We ask all people of
faith, if it be becoming that a semi-official journa:
should give publicity to attacks of this kind c!,1,11
neighbouring and allied government ? That. DV
glum has committed a fault in allying herself

Austria, we believe ; but this fault does not
the reprisals of the Constitutionnel. We are t 41.,
that the act of this paper is highly disapproved 0r ;/,
the French Government. We make no difficulty
believing that. Neither France nor the Governnle_
of France has need of the humiliation of
Austria has at present no longer the power of dis her
ing any one. Because she has given a princess 0
blood to the Belgian revolutionary dynasty-, it dray
es
not follow that she can to-morrow or aftervrarus,
absorb Belgium. If she were anxious in anY
to possess that country, we should be the first
..0
protest against an ambition so deplorable and
menacing for France. But it would be suprt,lil
madness to cause it to be supposed that things
have arrived at such a point. No one menaces
Belgium, unless it be the too enterprising
of the Constitutionnel, who have already been twiau
disavowed. The interest of all is, that Be,lgide,
nationality continue to develope itself in an 'll, is
pendent manner, and that its neutrality, which
important to all, shall be maintained in conforoutY
with treaties." rs
The last news on the Eastern question Wet,
publicie
to have been very displeasing to the Crovve'li'e
which has more than once assumed a warlike to.
on the subject. It is not satisfied with the nisi ,
tenance of peace on the conditions announced,
asserts that nothing has been gained in the arrange
ment by any other power than Ruat..
A letter from Dieppe says : e
" The Emperor gave orders for the reinoval of some
old towers on the beach, which have lung been an °sae'
sore to the inhabitants, and every stave of them a
removed in a single day. He has likewise orderoe
be
promenade and a garden, in the English stylet be
commenced in a few days. The plants are said to
drawn by the Empress herself." •

There was a considerable amount of busing
transacted at the Bourse yesterday, but as ti,e4
were more sellers of Government securities than
buyers, prices declined. In the absence the
political news of importance, the state °A „e.
