Would her condition be improved by razing
her towns, and narrowing still more
.than
at present the openings by which the energies of
her population can be usefully employed ?
Some months ago we pointed out, when the
population of France was raving for war, that
the true way to incorporate her in peace with
the rest of Europe, and to make her tranquil at
home, was to promote her trade, and we then
insisted that it was a duty of the surrounding
States to invite France to extend her trade, and
so, by encouraging her people to devote their
energies to peaceful occupations, secure both
internal and external tranquillity. We re-
peat that recommendation ; and, as England,
with every surrounding State, will suffer
ighould. the French not be employed, we con-
tend that it is the duty of the METTERNICHS
and PEELS of the day, whether they have or not
any comprehension of the duty, to promote, by
all the means in their power, and principally by
encouraging trade, the prosperity and peace of
France.

It is sheer silliness in the country bumpkins,
who, for our sins are now at the head of our na-
tional affairs, to talk against manufactures and
in favour of agriculture, just, no doubt, as the
bunters of the Norman period talked
against agriculture, when they discouraged
it by throwing large tracts of country
into forests for the preservation of game
and the encouragement of the noble pursuits of
hunting. But we beg to inform ail bumpkin
Statesmen, that manufactures and trade are to
this period of the world what agriculture was to
that, and as that tamed the wild spirit of the
savage
denizens of the forest, so these connect
man with man, make men at once more social,
more mutually dependent, more kind, more hu-

inane, and more just. With the growth of our town
population civilization has gone hand in hand.
It is in wild and barbarous ItuLsia—it is in agri-
cultural France—that we hear of conspiracies and
rebellions, not in trading Holland, nor in maim-
fizeturlng England. Whatever the priests may
say, trade and manufactures have done more to
civilize and humanize mankind than all the
State churches that ever were endowed. To
propose to check the growth of the town popu-
lation, therefore, is not merely cruelty of itself;
but it is to check the progress of all the virtues
that now adorn civilized man. •

We direct the attention of our readers to the
Report df a Committee of the Brazilian Legis-
lature, relative to the establishment of an exten-
sive line of railroad in that country, which will
be found in another part of The Sun. We hail
with lively satisfaction the proposal of a measure
so well calculated to assist in the development of
the great commercial resources of the Brazilian
empire. What greatly enhances the merit of
the undertaking in our eyes is, that the money
required to defray the expenses of the railway
will be raised in Brazil—a departure from the
usual practices of South American Governments
worthy of all praise.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all reached
us. They are filled with comments upon, and
details of the late attempt to assassinate the
Duke D'AUMALE. Under the head of Public
Opinion we have given a summary of the obser-
vations of all the leading Journals upon the sub-
ject. The Moniteur publishes a Royal Ordon-
nance, directing the Court of Peers to try the
assassin. This gives at once a political
complexion to the attempt, which we think
it would have been more prudent for the
Government to have omitted. The National
says that PAPPARD was formerly a soldier in the
17th Regiment of the Line; that he was sen-
tenced to die by a Court-martial tbr stabbing his
captain in the thigh, bat subsequently pardoned;
and that it was at this officer, and not the
Princes that he aimed. This account is not cre-
dited by the other Journals.
The arrival of the Duke D'AIT3I.ALE in Paris,
was celebrated by a noble entertainment given
by the KING in the Park at Neuilly. The fol-
lowing interesting account of it is abridged from
Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday :
In an immense space were raised upon an ingenious geome-
trical plan drawn out by General Baron Athalin, fifty ranks
of tables, some parallel and other perpendicular to an elevated
estrade on which was placed the King's table ; opposite the es-
trade, at a distance of 150 yards, was a maa,nificent tent for the
Queen, and left and right were others destined for the service
of the banquet. The Royal estrade was adorned with military
_trophies, bearing the Lames of the earlier and later achieve-
ments ef the armies of France ; Austerlitz appeared by the
side of Antwerp; Marengo by Saint John d'Ulloa, and Vienna
by Constantina. Behind the King's seat was a colossal trophy,
dedicated to the army of France, surmounted by a gigantic
cross of the Legion of Honour. All the tables were served
with the same profusion of viands, wines, and fruits, as the
King's own. The confectionery was made to represent
battles and sieges of the army in Africa. Covers were laid
for 5,300 persons. The tables are calculated to have
covered a space equal to 2,500 yard:, much more than
half a league. The bill of fare mentioned, 1,559
dishes, of which 500 were fowls, 300 turkeys, 2do
pates, 250 hams, 218 joints of veal, 220 joints of beef,
63 Compiegne cakes, 60 raised dessert pieces. There
were ato 5,500 bottles of red wine, 3,000 of Champagne.
and others in proportion. At five o'clock the King entered
the inclosure on horseback, accompanied by the King of
the Belgians, the Duke of Saxe-Cobourg, the Dukes of Or-
leans. Nemours, and Montpensier ; they were immediately
followed by the Queen and Princesses in an open caleche.
Bd. ,re sitting down to table, the King rode along the lines of
all the troops invited, who were ranged in the order of the
number of their regiments in the rear of the Royal tent. His
Majesty then dismounted, and seated himself on a chair
placed at the middle of the esti ade commanding the whole
scene. Marshal Soult was by the side of the King of the
Marshal Sebastiani by the Duke de Nemours, Mar-
shal Molitor by the Prince Royal, and by the Duke d'Aumale
was Marshal Valee, under whom the young Prince commenced
hi: car, er in arms. Admiral Roussin was placed next to the
Duke de Monspensier. Among the other guests at the Royal
table were Generals Pro, Changarnier, Bedeau, Schramm,
and all others who have distinguished themselves in Africa.
The service of the guests was performed by 800 servants, all in
Royal liveries. Not the least confusion could be observed.
At h, if-past six Marshal Soult rose, and with a voice heard by
all the tables, proposed as the first toast, " The French army
to the King !" The drums beat a general roll, every guest
rose from his seat, and the toast being drank, astounding ac-
clamations of " Vive le Roi !" issuing from 6,000 voices, were
repeated for nearly a quarter of an hour.
The King replied in the following words :—" My dear Mar-
shal—l cannot better reply to the toast which you have just
proposed in the name of the army of whom you are the worthy
organ, than by proposing one in return to our brave army.
Being always happy and proud, my dear comrades, to renal to
mind that in my youth 1 fought in your ranks for the defence
of the country, it is very gratifying to me to find myself le-
placed under our glorious colours by sons who have already
succeeded in so many places in obtaining your esteem, your
confidence, and that affection which I rejoice so much in having
always received from you. I was anxious to gather round me
all the corps of the army now within reach, in order that
you might be all alike associated in the expression of
satisfaction which my fourth son, the Duc d'Aumale, has re-
ceived on his return through France at the head of the brave
regiment which he has had the honour of commanding in Al-
geria, that land where for the last eleven years our troops have
rivalled each other in valour, and where they have all acquired
so many claims to the gratitude of the country, and my own.
I was desirous by this meeting that this expression should ex-
tend, without distinction, to those who in France give us so
many proofs of their firm devotion to our institutions, as well as
to those who so honourably sustain in Africa the struggle in
which we are engaged. I feel confident that their perseverance
will definitively confirm our establishment in Algeria, which
is now one of our great national interests, and that we may
soon be able to spread there the befits of civilization, guarantee
the security of the inhabitants, and open new sources of pros-
perity to all. Thus, my dear comrades, it is, as King and as
chief of the army, that 1 propose to all the regiments, to all the
corps by land aid sea who compose it in France or Africa, and
beyond seas, this toast of gratitude and satisfaction." The
King retired, attended to the entrance of the inclosure by the
Marshals and Generals who had had the honour of dining at
his table. His Majesty mounted his horse and rode to the pa-
lace. The fete lasted till eight o'clock, when the 17th took up
its quarters at Courbevoie.
The KI/iGI has appointed the Count de FLA-
IIOULT, Ambassador to Vienna, and not to Ma-
drid, as reported yesterday.
Letters from Constantinople state that between
300 and 400 houses were burned near the Seven
Towers on the 23d ult.
There was a rumour in Paris that five British
ships of the line had appeared off Tunis.
A letter from Florence says that on the 4th
instant a hostile meeting took place between Dr.
CROOK, attached to the Court of the GRAND
Duke of Tuscany, and Mr. PLOWDEN, a banker
at Florence. They fired at four paces distant,
and Dr. CROOK was shot dead. Mr. PLOWDEN
was arrested in his flight towards Modena. The
cause of this murderous quarrel is not stated.
The French Government published on Tues-
day the following telegraphic despatzh with news
from Africa :
The French Government had received the following tele-
graphic despatch :
" TOULON, SEPT. 11 (received* the 13111).—The Maritime
Prefect to the Minister of Marine.—The situation of the pro
vines of the West is continually improving; 16,0,0 Med-
jehers are row on our side, and, thanks to their medium, Mos-
taganem abounds with sup; lies. The submission of the Bord-
gia, who have sent in hostages, is considered as likely to take
place soon ; and their example will necessarily bring about the
surrender of the Garrabas. The Arabs, who had abandoned
our Douairs and Smelas, are asking for leave to return. There
is no longer any talk of Abd-el-Kader, who does not give any
obstacle to these desertions ; and it is hence concluded that the
autumn campaign will subdue him completely. There is
nothing new from Mahon."
The Lyons papers give fearful accounts of the state of things
at Clermont ; all the papers of the civil officers burnt, as well
as the furniture, and the prefecture only saved by discharges
of grape. It appears that the peasants of the department of
the Upper Alps are also up in opposition to the recense•
meet. A kind of club has been seized at Vizelle.—Patriote
des Routes Alpes.
This evening (Monday) there were charges of the cavalry
and infantry of the Municipal Guard in the Place du Chatelet.
There were many arrests, but the National Guard was not
called on to repress the disorder. The police was exclusively
employed.— Commerce.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 12.—There is no foundation for the asser-
tion of a journal that our Commissioners at Paris have applied
to M. Tariier for a report on the subject of literay piracy.
M. Duchamps has gone back to Paris. The Conferences
will, therefore, be resumed with more activity than ever, and
that they may not be relaxed for want of documents, a Committee
has just been formed, the members of which are to be from
several Ministerial departments, the purpose of which is to
answer directly to applications which it may receive from
France for papers or information. •
The Minister of War has just informed the Generals com-
manding the Divi,ion of the Kingdom, that henceforth no
foreigner is to be admitted to the depot of the Bth Regiment
of the Line, The Dutch deserters, who alone could be incor-
porated into it, are in future to be sent likewise direct from all
countries bordering on Belgium
_by the shortest route to the
frontier of the country to which they should declare that they
want to go.

We have Madrid Papers of the 7th instant.
The Government has consented to allow Don

rRANCISCO DE PAULA untl his family to return
to Spain, and to reside with the QUEEN in the
Royal Palace. ESPARTERO has aso, with great
firmness, apprised the French Government that
the young QUEEN, L'(iag a minor, would not be
allowed to receive,. unopened, letters written by
any person who did not acknowledge the au-
thority of the Cortes.

A numerous party of Members of the House
of Commons, supporters of the present Adminis-
tration, received summonses yesterday to meet
Sir Robert Peel this afternoon, at his official
residence, in Downing-street. The object of
the meeting no doubt is to lay before them the
plans for the ensuing Parliamentary campaign.
Wh-it these may be we do not profess to know,
but the secrets cannot be much longer kept.
They will be divulged by the Oracle this evening
in the House of Commons.
CITY REGISTRATION.—In the Revising Bar-
risters' Court this day, after the point had been
argued at great length, it was decided that elec-
tors, though they bad changed their residence
since the last registration, and the new place of
residence had not been registered, were still en-
titled to vote.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

FRANCE.

The Moniteur publishes Royal ordinances,
dated the 9th instanr, appointing Count de St.
Aulaire Ambassador Extraordinary to her Bri-
tannic Majesty, the Count de Flahaut Ambas-
sador to the Emperor of Austria, and M. de Sal-
vandy Ambassador to the Queen of Spain.
The riots in the Place du Chatelet and in the
quarter of St. Denis, continued on Tuesday even-
ing, hut excited no alarm. On Wednesday the
people congregated in large numbers in the Fau-
hourg St. Antoine, in consequence of the arrest
of several reputed accomplices of Nicholas Pap-
pard. No disorders, however, took place. It
was reported that the police had caught the in-
dividual who had loaded the assassin's pistols.
It was rumoured on Bourse, that the Govern-
ment received on Wednesday morning int4i-
gence of the death of the Duke de Bourdeaux,
said to have been occasioned lock-jaw. Our
correspondence does not bear out this statement.
The Quotidienne publishes a letter from Kirch-
berg, of the sth inst., stating that the health of
the Duke continued as satisfactory as could be
expected.
A telegraphic despatch from Clermont, dated
the 13th, announces that order was restored, that
the troops re-occupied the military posts, and
that the tolls were being gathered at the barriers
as usual. The Courrier de Lyon estimates at
100 the numbez of citizens killed in Clermont.
The National states that an insurrection had
likewise broken out at Riom, and that the
troops had been repulsed.
It was generally believed in Paris that the new
French loan (for 150,000,000 f.) would be an-
nounced in the Moniteur of Thursday, and
brought out in October.

SPAIN.
The accounts from Madrid of the Bth are un-
important.

TURKEY.

Our accounts froth Constantinople of ,the 28th
state that the tribute to be paid by the Syrian
mountaineers had been fixed at 17,5001. Said
Bey was still in the Turkish capital.
Accounts from Tunis of the 29th ult. state that
the Revenge and Implacable, and two French
ships, were lying there at that date. The Ganges,
Indus, and Monarch were expected there.
From Candia we learn, under date of the 19th
ult., that the insurrection was completely at an
end, and that Mustapha Paella has returned to
Candia.

FOIZIEIGINT.

- The attempt to assassinate the Duke d'Aarnale occu-
pies the Paris Journals of Tuesday. The Journal des
Debats says :—" We wished to recount a fete, but our
pen stops. •It is a new crime, inspired by the rage of
factions that we have to relate. We have groaned over
the political crimes which have, during the last eleven
years, so frequently afflicted our country. We have
cursed the regicide who so frequently alarmed the mind
and disturbed the security of the country. But it is not
merely the Chief of the State that is attacked—the sons
of the King are also in peril ; for there is enmity to the
race consecrated by the revolution of July. The race is
attacked in order that all constitutional hope for the
country may be destroyed ; because the dynasty en-
throned in 1830 is connected, by its origin at once popular
and monarchial, with the very foundation of society ; be-
cause it is the safeguard, not merely of liberty, but of
property; and because the factions will have neither.
Such is the nature of the crime which has been com-
mitted under the eyes of the population of Paris."
The Constitutionnel is more simple and to the pur-
pose :—" Every mm. of whatever party," says that
paper, " who has a heart in his bosom, has already ex-
pressed his indignation at the savage act of yesterday.
Paris honours the glory dour armies, and has an un-
changeable devotion to the dynasty of July. How then
shall we account for the crime of yesterday? If the ball
of the assassin had struck the heart of the Duke, or one
of his brothers, would anarchy have reaped the slightest
fruit from this abominable assassination ? The mind is
lost in seeking for the cause of such a crime. There
must have been great perversity in the conceptien of it,
but there must have been an equal want of reflection, for
this is one of those crimes which could produce no other
result than to plunge a noble family into mourning, and
cover France with shame. The prosecution will show
whether the attempt was the act of a madman, or whe-
ther it is to be attributed to one of those secret societies,
whose dream is an abominable anarchy."
The Courrier Franca;s has the following sensible obser-
vations on this lamentable affair. The concluding sen-
tences are exceedingly just :—" The attempt will inspire
throughout France only one feeling, that of profound
horror. Fanaticism and cowardice are alike detested in
France, and if the members of a party of extrrvagant opi-
nions may have regretted the men who fell in an open
attack against public order, they, like the rest of the
nation, can feel only contempt for the madmen who look
for the success of their social reveries in assassination.
But of what utility, will it he to the dynasty, to the
state, or to the country, that a fanatical workman, even
though he should really belong to a secret society,
should appear before the Court of Peers, instead of be-
fore a Jury ? Will M. Pasquier obtain from him con-
fessions which he would not have made to the President
of a Court of Assize ? And what an idea must not a
criminal of such a rank, such an education, and such
morals, have of his own importance when brought face
to face with one of the legislative bodies ?"
The Siecle says—" Such attempts can never be suffi-
ciently execrated, there can never be a contempt pro-
found enough for assassins, whose imbecile fury is proof
against punishment and public horror. In the present
instance, even the most stupid fanaticism could not dis-
cover a pretext for hatred against a young Prince, a
stranger to all the acts of government, to political parties,
systems, and discussions, and who has only become
known to the public by the generous ardour with which
he sought an opportunity of serving the country in
Africa. No explanation of such a crime is possible, and,
although we hear of several arrests, we cannot believe
that they are connected with the existence of any con-
spiracy, even amongst the most insensate and most fu-
rious of the political sectarians."
The National expresses, in unqualified terms, its in-
dignation at the attempt, and endeavours to show that
it 11" at an isolated affair, having no connexion, either
direct or indirect, with any political party. The National
would evidently have it inferred that, as such attempts
could only weaken the party resorting to them, and
strengthen the hands of power, they are therefore merely
individual instances of folly and crime. The National,
in concluding its remarks, says :—" We reject, as an in-
sult to the national character, the supposition
.that there
are in France any societies, however limited in number,
sufficiently perverse to profess the doctrine of assassina-
tion. The Ministry may, if it pleases, give to foreign
Powers, the enemies, of France, the joy of thinking that
the national character is thus degraded, but we persist in
affirming that the firing of the pistol yesterday morning
was an isolated fact."
The Presse abstains for the moment from reflections,
observing, after a general expression of its horror at the
attempt, that it will leave the facts to speak on their own
eloquence.
The Commerce calls the event "criminal and insensate."
The Temps says :—" When will this incusate and fu-
rious fanaticism, which extends to an attack upon the
fourth son of the Chief of the State, cease ? The nation
certainly is not accountable for the crimes of a few of
its members ; but we cannot help feeling sorrow and hu-
miliation that there should be in the heart of society a
sect which professes assassination as a dogma, and the
execrable martyrs of which succeed each other with as
much promptitude as devotedness."
We find the following in the France :—" The revolu-
tion is still the same. Like Saturn, it destroys its own
children. In 1830 it made a King, and created aedy-
nasty, but this King would not be its slave,, and a ter-
rible struggle commenced. After risings and revolts
came assassinations. Not being able to reach the person
of Louis Philippe, he is attacked in his posterity. The
example of Louvel has borne its fruits. The assassin of
the Faubourg St. Antoine is but a plagiarist. The
Princes of the house of Orleans, in returning thanks to
Providence for their escape, muet curse the revolution,
which has placed the sword of Damocles over their heads.
These terrible trials have now lasted eleven years.
Everything in morals as well as in politics has its solu-
tion. The destruction of the expiatory monument of
the 13th February was something more than an error.
We should give up crime to execration, whatever may be
its date."
The Spanish Government
.has permitted the Infante
Don Francisco de Paulo and his family to return jo".
Madrid. This measure will give a sad bleswetax-the-fae-
tion of the Ex-Regent.
Espartcro has signified to the French Government that
the Queen being a minor would not be permitted to re-
ceive letters from an Ambassador, even it' deputed by
his Government for that purpose.
Spain and Portugal are on the worst terms. Many
fear that a war between them is inevitable. The Regent
of Spain is well disposed for a rupture with Donna Maria.
