FRANCE.

In The Sun of Thursday last, we alluded to a
long article in the Constitutionnel, 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 witli 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-

the
ante of France, she must necessarily fall int° •tu
arms of Austria. To these views the Cons the
an
tionnel gave a kind of qualified assent, d.tA,
course so taken by that journal has been sevew;i
commented on by the press on the Continent. 4.
was even said that " explanations" would be ato
manded by the Belgian Government in reference
the offensive article. The ssemblee Hata
the Siècle of yesterday, now reprobate the conda.e_"
of the Constitutionnel, under the perfect con%
tion, apparently, that it is disapproved of bY
Government vice
The Siecle . c,, , after quotin some offensive pass
in the pamphlet says : "We ask all people of r;
faith, if it be becoming that a semi-official pito
should give publicity to attacks of this That Bel
n eighbouring and allied government nth
gium has committed a fault in allying herself "t-iff
Austria, we believe ; but this fault does not j115,,d
the reprisals of the Constitutionnel. We are
that the act of this paper is highly disapproved ot vir.;
the French Government. We make no difficaltYls„t
believing that. Neither France nor the Goverul%".
of France has need of the humiliation of Belgwret..
Austria has at present no longer the power of disqll.2,er
ing any one. Because she has given a princeessgtoes
blood to the Belgian revolutionary dynasty,
not follow that she can to-morrow or aftervo;ai
absorb Belgium. If she were anxious in an, Et to
to possess that country, we should be the w",,
so
protest against an ambition so deplorable anuera,
menacing for France. But it would be suliiries
madness to cause it to be supposed that t cve3
have arrived at such a point. No one 111blilicists
Belgium, unless it be the too enterprising Pu" twice
of the Constitutionnel, who have already been irriaa
disavowed. The interest of all is, that 13;15-de.
nationality continue to develope itself in all;p1h
pendent manner, and that its neutrality, wrcility
important to all, shall be maintained in 00111°r--
with treaties." ears
The last news on the Eastern question aPP
¢rsr
to have been very displeasing to the tone
which which has more than once assumed a vrarlike
on the subject. It is not satisfied with the °loci
t enance of peace on the conditions announee_ftgd,
asserts that nothing has been gained in the at'
ment by any other power than Russia.
A letter from Dieppe says --
" The Emperor gave orders for the removal of
e
old towers on the beach, which have long been all ;/10
sore to the inhabitants, and every stave of theln_j
removed in a single day. He has likewise orcleine
promenade and a garden, in the English style, be
commenced in a few days. Theplants are said
drawn by the Empress herself." An
