'The New Treaty of London will be found in an-
other column. The preliminary doubts of its authenti-
city are copied from a Ministerial Contemporary: By it
two most important objects are effected—viz., an end is
put to the isolation of France ; and the Treatxof Unkiar
Skelessi, which constituted Russia sole guarchan of the
Ottoman empire, is entirely abolished. This is "a heavy
blow and a great discouragement'.' to Russian intrigues
at Constantinople, as it destroys the moral influence
which 'the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi enabled the Czar to
exercise over every resolution of the Porte.. The spell of
Russia's exclusive dominion inthe East is broken.
Queen Christina has formally protested against the
Decree of the Cortes, declaring the office of guardian of
Queen. Isabella and her sister void by their mother's
flight, and appointing M. Arguelles to that im-
portant office. They are no true friends of Chris-
tina who advise her to provoke animadversions
upon either her public or her private life. In her pro-
test she admits• that to marry while guardian of her
daughters would 'disqualify her by the laws of Spain for
such a trust, and she adds that neither by her flight nor
by any.other aet, is she legally disqualified.' Are the
reports, then, ()f her morganic marriage with the Life
Guardsman, MuNos, without foundation.? • Is her
connexion with that minion of. Royal favour
as criminal, .as she thus, indirectly, represents
it .? And is such a woman a fit or proper guar-
dian Fdr the future Sovereign of Spain ? Hitherto the
Cortes, out of . respect to the feelings of their infant
Queen, • have treated. the fame of Christina with much
tenderness.; should they :ever be induced to publish a
report, of a Commission of the Chambers, founded on the
examination of documents already in the hands of the
Government, her 'appeals to Europe will rather provoke
indignation than Sympathy. She had better be qpt.
r King Ernest Austus, who* Heaven in its cru-
table wisdom permits 'to wield the sceptre of Hanover,
doubtless in punishment of the sins of a past generation,
has issued a Royal decree regulating the manner in
which. the Prince Royal is to sign public documents
when his thrice renowned sire is "gathered to his fathers."
This decree, and the proclamation, noticed in our Foreign
Summary of Saturday, will be found in another part of
The Sun.

One topic of discussion no longer occupies the Paris
press. The Debats of Saturday is melted into tears at
the very sight of Queen Christina's protest. The dis-
tresses of Royalty find a responsive. echo' in the loyal
bosoms of the editors of the Debats, There was no such
whiling, 'however,,for poor little Isabella and her sister,
when their Royal mother abandoned them to the guar-
dianship of the Spanish people.
Tranquillity is restored at Toulouse. The Presse
and the Messager throw all the blame of the disturb-
ances upon the late officials. Is the Government then
blameless in leaving them for twelve dam without in-
structions, after they, had implored them to be sent ?
' The France gives an amusing account of the
flight of M. Plougoulm froth TOulouse. NI. Plqugoulm
is a translator of Deinosthenes, and the France,
with a. drollery, irresistibly. ludicrous, compares
his flight.with that of the GreCian orator from the battle
of Cheronea. M. Plougouhn, though no Demosthenes
in the forint', is quite one in thefield.
The. Quotidienne has not yet done with Lord Palmer-
ston's speech at Tiverton dennaciatory of the atrocities of
the French in Africa. By way of retaliation the Quoti-
diehne winds up an abusive article with the following
climax :—" As far as crime is concerned England eclipses
all other civilised States, for massacres and revolutions have
at all times been her policy." The Quctidienne should
have said our foreign policy, for in the article of domestic
la belle France beats us hollow in massacres and revolu-
tionary horrors. England at home has revolution-
ized a throne and a 'creed, but France revolu-
tioned the throne, the altar, the whole frame-
work of. society, and even the very calendar. No,
we 'must -really decline the 'compliment which some
Frenchmen would intend us in allowing us to be gigan-
tically wicked. England is bad enough, but not quite so
bad as several of her- neighbours, France not excepted.
-- The Courrier Franca is and the Siecle have articles
on the TOry majority in the new Parliament. The
former says, justly enough, that had the Whigs not dis-
gusted their best friends, the people, by doing for two
years the'dirty work of the Tories, they would be still as
firmly in office as when they passed the Reform Bill. It
is gratifying to find-French Journalists thus rightly ap-
preciating the errors committed by the British Cabinet.

We fear thOr result will prove no warning to the Whigs.
Battles were fought between the Cretan insurgents
and the Turks on the 19th, 20th, and 25th ult., the advan-
tageS froth 'which,, were all on the side of the Christians.
The Greek inhabitants of the Islands of Zante; and
Cerigo render all the assistance in their power to the
Cretans.

—lt is rumoured at Constantinople that should the
Sultan die, as is expected, a plan is in contemplation for
appointing Mehemet Ali pardian of, the Ottoman .em-

pire during The minority of the Sultan's brother.

The Sultan has dismissed three officialsin Syria
for their oppression of the Christians. Nothing will
remedy this evil but the conferring the Pachalic of the
Christian territory upon one of the Christian Princes
of Lebanon. While the Turks administer the laws they
will be administered unjustly and oppressively, as re-
gards the Christians.' Equal justice is a 'luxury quite
unknoiwn in Syria.

Neither from Portugal nor Spain have we news of
such interest as tic) demand a notice here.

The great iron steamer at Bristol will probably
combine a greater number and variety of untried princi-
ples than were ever yet united in one enterprise of the
same magnitude. The vessel herself—her enormity—
her material .(plate-iron)--her engines, nearly 1,200
horse-power--her cylinders, 120 inclies in diameter—no
piston-rods—nd beams+the connecting-rod laying hold
immediately on .the piston, and a moveable hollow cast-
ing playing through a box in the -top of the piston—no
paddle-wheels, no paddle-boxes, but an unseen agent
revolving under her quarters, instead of -any apparent
propelling power.
Lord Morpeth has forwarded a second donation of
