FRANCE.

The Credit has the following as to the affairs of
Russia and Turkey :—" The difficulties which at this
moment exist in Constantinople relative to the extra-
dition of the Hungarian refugees do not appear to us
to have the importance that Russia seems to attach to
them. The Emperor tries, no doubt, to get up for
himself a wrong the more, real or apparent, in addition
to all those which each of his predecessors was so
anxious to inscribe in the great book of the destinies
of Russia opened by Peter the Great. Neither have
the Ambassadors of France and England been wanting
to the policy followed constantly by the Powers
they represent. They have protested against the
imperious demands of Russia. It is an error to
suppose that these manoeuvres of traditional policy
of Europe involves a general conflagration. On the
contrary, a return has been made to the normal
condition of European policy, which had been
temporarily abandoned by means of the Russian
intervention in the domestic affairs of Austria.
Russia has reverted to her natural designs, and
it may be said, to her destiny as marked out by
Providence. She has directed her views from the west
to the east. Far from having anything to fear from
the immoderate pretensions of Russia and from the
noble resistance of the Sultan, we ought rather to
congratulate ourselves at this salutary diversion of a
danger which was becoming imminent, or which, at
least, was threatening enough to become an obstacle
to a satisfactory solution of the affairs of Italy, and
even to the re-establishment of order in Germany.
Besides, do not the exigencies of Russia and Austria
—even their very menaces—cover the real embarrass-
ment of these two Powers, notwithstanding
their recent victory of Hungary, if the Porte
sought to throw off the yoke that Vienna and Peters-
burgh have imposed on her European possessions ? It
is the custom of diplomacy to affect much anger,
and we are inclined to believe that the wrath of the
Czar and the Emperor is anything but sincere. What
would they do with those gallant and Hun-
garians ? Do they mean to shoot them, to give them
the knout, to shut them up in Spilburg, or send them
to the mines of Siberia? Evidently not. A service is
even rendered to those august Sovereigns by refusing
to deliver up those noble refugees deserving of re-
spect all the more that they are unfortunate."
The National publishes a declaration signed by
Ledru Rollin, Etienne Arago, Martin Bernard, Lan-
dolphe Rattier, Rebeyrolles Madier, De Mouian, the
younger, giving their reasons (not being allowed to
plead the violation of the Constitution) for not sur-
rendering to take their trial at Versailles.

AUSTRALIA.
We have received files of papers from Adelaide to
the 19th of May inclusive.
The following vessels had arrived at Adelaide from
England :--The ship Stebonheath, with 373 free
emigrants, last from Plymouth 31st January ; the
Ancient Briton, from Newport, 22d December, with
one passenger; and the William. ',Hyde, from Ply-
mouth, 28th January, .with 104 passengers.
The Adelaide Observer of the -12th May says
The most unexpected of these arrivals is the Wil
Ham Hyde, having on boaid railway engines, rails, and
all the materials of construction. Mr. Parker, the
superintendent, and Mr. Cart Wright Hill, engineer and
surveyor, have arrived in the same vessel. The Ancient
Briton brings the fuel, and therefore nothing seems
wanting to enable the ccmpf-ny to go a-head.
"Besid:s these arrivals, Hardy's' Shipping List'
con-
tains the names of the following ships bound' for Ade-
laide, or Adelaide and Port Phillip, namely; the Cal-
cutta, Elleralie, Susannah (emigrants), Childe Harold,
Dorothy, Inconstant (emigranta), Florentia (emigrants),
and Royal Sovereign. The latest day of sailing named
being February 9th, several of these vessels will shortly
be due. The number of ships advertised in the same
publication for New South Wales was six and for Port
Phillip six.
" The Garland Grove left Plymouth on the same day
as the William Hyde."
The emigrant ship Susannah, 514 tons, with nine
cabin and 216 steerage passengers, arrived at Ade-
laide on the 18:h of May, as also the brig Sarepta,
330 tons, from Swansea, with cargo and one pas.
senger.
The Susannah had a fine passage of 101 days from
Plymouth, during which three deaths and three births
occurred.
