THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1838.

ject of the present relations between England and
Russia, which our readers can scarcely fail to perceive
are represented in a light as novel as • can well be
imagined. The regeneration of Asia by Turkey,
though put too seriously to be meant as a joke, be-
longs, properly speaking, to the Jos MILLER. cate-
gory of wise sayings. There is, however, much in
the article to awaken the serious attention of this
country, written, as it obviously is, by one
well acquainted with the policy of the Russian
Cabinet. As regards the independence of Egypt
we adopt the writer's view of the real policy of
England, though we know that our opinion upon this
question is treated as a political heresy, both by the
Government and the Press of England. The follow-
ing letter from Smyrna, which is likewise copied from
a German journal, bears so strongly upon the tenour
of the article which we are alluding to, that it ought
to be read in conjunction with it. We have no means
of knowing whether the statements which it contains
be, or be not, authentic :
" SMYRNA, Auo. 21.—According to the latest accounts re-
ceived from Bagdad, hostilities between the English and Per-
sians bad commenced at Bushire, and several not inconsidera-
ble actions had taken place, in which the Persian troops were
defeated. The siege of Herat is believed to have been raised
without the conclusion of a treaty of peace, so that the Schah
seems to be threatened not only from the south-west, but at
the same time from the north-east.
" The former pretenders to the throne, the sons of the
Schah's uncles, seem to bring forward their claims, which ap_
peared to lie dormant so long as England and Russia appa-
rently were agreed respecting. Persia. A conflict between
Russian and English armies in Persia is therefore possible,
and it is wholly owing to the circumspect policy of Redschid
Pasha if it does not take place in the boundaries of the Otto-
man Empire. It cannot, however, be denied, that the politi-
cal relations become more and more entangled, and it is diffi-
cult to understand how this man, who alone is capable of
solving these difficulties, and of conducting the whole to a
result favourable to Turkey, should be removed from the
scene, unless he should be able to serve the interest of the
Porte when at a distance as well as if he were in Constanti-
nople. I must not omit to observe, that the Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs leaves powerful enemies in the capital, the head
of whom appears to be old Chosrew Pasha, one of the most
subtle men of the East, President of the Council of State.
They will not lose the opportunity of venturing everything to
overthrow the man who was perhaps destined to effect a com-
plete regeneration in the affairs of the Ottoman empire."

We have received the whole of the Paris Journals
of Friday and Saturday. The ,Debats contains two
very long and very laboured articles on the subjects
of the expulsion of Prince Louis NAPOLEON from
the Swiss territory, and the present aspect of political
and military affairs in Spain. Upon the Swiss ques-
tion the Debats displays a bitterness of feeling and an
absence of all respect for the inviolability of the
Federal Government, which contrasts strangely with
the liberal and occasionally Republican professions of
that Journal.

demned at Bonny, 7th July ; she had been on shore ; the
cargo was in possession of King Peppel. The Arcadia,
Barker, sailed from Fernando Po for London on the 12th
July, in a very leaky state, and was seen on the 16.. h, doing well,
by the Huddersfield, Oo ens, arrived at this port.

The latest advices from Madrid are of the 15

instant. It was then reported that the new Ministers
were neg,ociating a loan for five hundred millions of
reals with the house of SAFONT and Co., assisted by
foreign capitalists, of whom M. LAYITTE was said to
be the principal. The PORTE'S recognition of the
Regal authority of Queen DONNA ISABELLA had
given great satisfaction to the REGENT, who regarded
it as a convincing proof of the great influence, as well
as of th• friendship, of France and England.
_ It will be seen by the extracts under the head
" Spain," in another column, that ESPARTERO is
about to gather fresh laurels before the campaign
closes for the season. His Excellency would really
be nothing the worse for a fresh leaf or two. The lau-
rels gathered before Bilboa must be really withered,
even in the partial judgment of Queen CHRISTINA,

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

long before this time.
During the last two days a report hnd been in circulation
that Marshal VAlee, Governor-General of the French posses-
sions in the north of Africa, is to be replaced by General
Gucheneuc. We scarcely know the title of this officer to the
distinction, unless it be his near alliance with the Duke de
Montebello. Whatever it be, ifitbe true that Marshal Val,

The usual average returns of the liabilities and assets of the
Bank of England have been published, embracing the period
from the 24th June to the 18th inst., giving the following
results ; viz.:—
The average of the month ending the 18th inst., as compared
with the average of the month ending 26th June, shows an
it.crease in the circulation of 582,0001., a decrease in the de-
posits of 774 0001 , and a decrease in the stock of bullion of
393,000/. Wherefore it appears that the deereaie in the liabi-
lities is 220,0001., and this represents the decrease in the total
quantity of money in the month ending the 18th inst., as com-
pared with the month ending the 26th June..

the province of Constantine, see do not regret his resignation,
provided that it be the signal for the return of the Govern-
ment to more rational ideas. Still it would be necessary to
confide the matter to some person who has given proofs of
capacity. Too many experiments have already been made
in Africa-experiments, too, which have cost this country

The Grand Council of Lucerne has decided by a majority
of 61 to 24 on instructing its deputation to reject the demands

the Emperor had amounted to more than 60,000.
The Queen of Spain, by a decree dated Aug. 25, raised the
Count de Toreno to the dignity of grandee of Spain of the
first class. The Count retains his former title, declining that
of Duke or Marquis, to which his elevation gives him a claim.
PARIS, SEPT. 21. -Our letters from the frontiers of Spain

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 20.-We have great satisfaction in seeing
the progressive increase of the iron railroad. The receipt
has increased fivefold, and that of the first four months and a
half of the year 1834 (i. e., beginning in May) has equalled
the receipt of the preceding twelve months. In the first ten
days of September, it even amounted to 150,000 francs.
ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 18.-Ibrahim Pacha has returned to
Damascus from the campaign against the Druse3. One of the
political acts that he performed after his arrival there, was the

have taken part in the insurrection are exempted from any
punishment whatever.
Rio DR JANEIRO, AVG. 7.-. The accounts from the province
of Rio Grande do Sul are very satisfactory, various advan.

The yearly comparison is as follows :—The average of the
month ending the 18th inst., as compared with the average of

in the circulation of 1,506,0001., a decrease in the deposi*s of

Whisr,fore it appears that the increase in the liabilities is

tity of money in the month ending the 18th inst., as compared
with the month ending 17th Oct. 1837.
