France and of liberty undergo the same fate? Shall Belgium
by the malign influence of protocols, and Switzerland, by
the exactions of diplomacy, submit to see their existence
threatened ? No, Frenchmen, such hateful policy can
surely never be acknowledged either by your people
or by your Chamber of Deputies, and those who are the au-
thors will tbemselves reflect on the danger, in the present
situation of Europe, of driving a nation which meddles only
with its own affairs, by puerile pretences, into a desperate
struggle for its independence and honour. You will believe
that there arc still other citizens in the confederacy than those
who know not how to resist the temptation of gold or the ar-
tifices of diplomacy. In all events, Frenchmen, we rely upon
those sentiments of honour which arc innate in you, as well as
upon our strength and the protection of Heaven."
Letters from Malta, dated the 17th of September, state
that his Excellency Rcdschid Pasha, the Ottoman Ambas-
sador to the English Court, who had performed quarantine
in the lazaretto of Valetta, made his public entry on that
day, and was received with much ceremony by the Governor
and the different authorities. Great fetes were in preparation
in honour of the Turkish Ambassador, who intended passing
five or six days in the island. He would afterwards return on
board the steam-boat Perlichevhet, and proceed to Naples.
ALaXANDRIA, SEPT. 7.—My last letter expressed a hope that
the vessels would soon be able to leave our port with clean bills
of health, but this hope has been disappointed, as several cases
of plague have occurred within the last few days. The seat
of the disease is still in the same quarter, and until great and
indispensable measures arc taken, it is not probable that the
malady will altogether disappear. Until within these few
days Egypt has presented the picture of a valley of desolation.
The Nile, after rising to the height of eighteen cubits, ceased
to increase, and seemed rather to diminish. This presage of
a sterile year spread terror among the people as well as among
the members of the Government. Immediately the popula-
tion cf all religions assembled in the temples and iu the fields
to address public prayers to the Almighty to avert the scourge
of a famine. The Mussulmans were peculiarly remarkable,
walking in crowds of men, women, and children, headed by
their priests, and elevating their voices to heev:ei in walking
along the batiks of the Nile. This spectacle had somethine
• too touching in it; Heaven relaxed, and from the 30th a
August to the Ist of September the Nile rose to lei cubits
This height is sufficient for the ordinary fertilization of
should it last for a fortnight, of which the hope is generally en-
' tertained.—Journal des Debats.

At Stockholm, as a letter of the 14th inst. from that capital
states, there have been no more assen-:blings of the populace
since that of tha loth, which has thrown the upper and the
middling classes of society into considcraLle uneasiness; but
several windows have since been broken by persons, who have
remaMed undetected.

The Courrier Francais, in publishing the text of Prince
Louis Napoleon's letter, announcing his intention of withdraw-
ing voluntarily from Switzerland, styles the document "
model of dignity, grandeur, and moderation." This journal
cannot agree with the assertion of the telegraphic despatch
that the Prince has avoided explanations on his double qualifi-
cation. " He has said all that he ought to say," observes the
Courrier ; he could, in fact, say nettling respecting a double qua-
lification, which he has never attributed to himself, and the in-
vention of which is to be attributed to French diplomacy
alone. It is only in his capacity of a Swiss citizen that be
has written to the President of the Petty Council of Thurgau,
and, as a Swiss citizen, has he proclaimed his attachment to
the land in which be so long found a hospitable asylum. The
qualification with regard to which he is reproached for not bay-
ing been explicit has its origin only in the apprehensions of
the French Government. But the resolution adopted by the
Prince has at last solved the grand question. Count Mole
will recover his slumbers, and the King of the French will
cease to believe his throne in danger." This journal concludes
by declaring its belief that the Prince's expression of his hope
of again seeing Switzerland will afford a pretext to the French
Government for insisting on a decree of banishment against
him. " Switzerland," says the Courricr, "is a democratic
Government, which the French Cabinet would be delighted to
humble, and thereby to obtain the approbation of Austria,
Bavaria, Wurtcmberg, Baden, and even of Charles Albert.
One result of the policy of Count Mole and the Doke de
Montebello is, that we have now another Pretender to the
throne of France in addition to the Duke de Bordeaux."
STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 21.—The Stat.stidning contains an
official article, stating that the proceedings against G.
Tho.ree, student of philosophy, accused, besides other crimes,
of having uttered culpable expressions respecting his Majesty,
shall be quashed PS far as concerns this point ; but with respect
o any other grounds of accusation the law is to take its course.

The -
It was stated by mistake in sun of the 25th
ult., on the authority of a Morning Paper, that the
Hon. Mr. Fox Maule was residing with his father, Lord
Panmurc, at Brechin Castle. The fact we understand
to be, that Mr. Fox Maule has not been at Brechin
Castle for many years past.
THE KERSAL MOOR MEETING.—The Manches-
ter Times of Saturday contains a plan, from actual
adineasurement of the ground occupied by the great
meeting on Kersal Moor, and, making the very liberal
estimate of seven persons to each square yard, calcu-
lates the numbers present at 45,000. There is much
good sense in the following observations of that
Journal :
The Morning AJvertiscr of Tuesday, on the authority of
the guesses of its reporters, states the number of persons on
Kersal Moor last Monday as amounting to 300,000. The
Manchester Guardian prefers the computation said to have
been made by Colonel Wemys.s, and several other military
officers, and expresses his belief that 30,000 is rather over than
under the number. This extraordinary discrepancy proves
either that there is no honesty in the Press, or that there are
no pains taken to arrive at an approximation to the truth.
The assemblage, when first witnessed from the rising
ground which overlooks the Moor, was one of the most im-
posing we had ever seen. A space of 250 yards in length, by
150 in breadth, seemed quite filled with human beings, and the
efict of the picture was greatly increased by the number and
ttsteful disposition of the flags and banners. We saw it from
bis point just at tLe time when the last flag in the procession
care upon the ground, and our impression was that there
were more people than we had seen at any public meeting
since fhe 16th August, 1819.
In attempting to foem an estimate of the number assembled
we had no temptation to lead us away from a fair calculation.
We went so far with the main objects of the meeting as to
have no inclination to underrate its importance—and, on the
other hand, we disagreed so far with the nostrums of some of
the leaders, as to have no desire to exaggerate Vie numbers.
We know that these remarks will be sneered at by the
men who limit the numbers to 30,000, and heartily abused by
those who swell them out to 300,000; but we care not. We
have given the grounds on which we have for aed our opinion,
and we believe that it will not differ much from that of any
honest and unprejudiced computator.

DUTY AND INCLINATION, EDITED BY MISS
LANDoN.-This novel belongs to the Austen school. Its
object is to show how the contest (hourly seen in all ranks and
conditions of life) between duty and inclination works for
ultimate good, and how, by that very contest, the character
is strengthened. This lesson is inculcated, and its truth
triumphantly worked out, through the medium of an interest-
ing story—a series of pictures of real life—ind a set of cha-
racters that have the merit of speaking the ordinary language
tf life, and of wearing the " costume of Christian," and not
the second-hand finery proper to the creations of vulgar
ro-
.nance and a vicious taste. There are evidences of a prernis-
ng ability in many parts of this story, and of an excellent
moral purpose throughout. There is nothing inapp opriate or
exaggt rated in the fair Editor's observation, that " the tender
calm at the close,
by Cißdit 149rMilae.7,
is what we might fancy a twilight would be
