TIM SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1840.

Deux Mondes, from which we yesterday made
an extract, calls for more particular notice on the
part of the English press. Written at the instance
of the President of the Council, who supplied the

statements of facts which it contains, it acquires a
weight and an importance which does not attach to
the every-day lucubrations of French Journalists

by profession. The way in which we propose to
deal with it is the simplest that occurs to us. We
shall examine in detail the statements and the argu-
ments of the writer in the order in which he has
set them down, " beginning with the beginning,
and ending with the end ;" and to guard against
misconception we shall quote every paragraph to
which we object on the score of wanting in truth
or fairness of logical deduction. After stating
briefly that the Treaty of London has reached its
second stage—that of coercive execution—and that
everything predicts that it cannot reach a third, M.
MIGNET accounts as follows for its existence :
Why was the treaty of the 15th of July thought of ?
Because Lord Palmerston Conceived that our Cabinet
was urging; Mehemet Ali to conclude a direct arrange-
ment with the Porte ; because he thought the offer of
restoring to the Sultan his fleet emanated from the coun-
cils of M. Thiers ; because he imagined that the French
Government having no other object than to carry away
forcibly from the Conference of London the decision of
the litigation, it was necessary to gain it by speed ; in
short, because he was persuaded that France wished for
peace in reality at any price, and that she would resign
herself, in order to maintain it, to perform in the affairs
but the part of the god Epicurus. All those suppositions
were gratuitous ; they were even contradictory ; for a
Government that would wish for peace at any price
would not engage itself insulately in roundabout ways,
which must always lead to dissension and war.

Of the four suppositions here assumed as facts,
not one is absolutely and unconditionally true. Lord
PALMERSTON would have rejoiced at an amicable
settlement of the Eastern question, brought about
solely through the instrumentality of M. THIERS,
had such a settlement had for its basis the restora-
tion of Syria to the Porte—the only territorial
guarantee for the maintenance of Turkish indepen-
dence. The only direct arrangement which the
English Minister dreaded, was an arrangement
based upon the prostration of the Ottoman empire—
an arrangement dictated by the pride of conquest,
and the insatiable thirst for more extensive domi-
nion. The second allegation is a pure fiction. The
English Cabinet entertained no jealousy of France
in the matter of restoring the fleet, nor was a single
step taken to deprive our ally of the glory of such
a restoration. The other suppositions, or rather
allegations, are not less fanciful. England calcu-
lated on the justice of France, not on her love for
peace at any price ; for England knew right well
that France would not compromise her honour, to
procure centuries of repose. Why, then, was
England in such a hurry to sign the treaty ? Not
because she wished to outstrip France in the race
of diplomacy and war, but, as the Duke DE
VALMY has justly observed, because the condi-
tions offered by Russia were such as she could not
hesitate to accept, without jeopardizing the existence
of the Ottoman empire. But this in no way iden-
tified British policy with that of Russia. On the
contrary, it enables us to thwart most success-
fully the darling projects of the CZAR in every
part of Asia, and particularly to keep him
out of Constantinople. -We admit that the
conditions offered us were designed to detach
England from France, but it will be the fault of
the latter Power if it produce any such result. Let
France only abandon her policy of isolation, and
the Treaty of London will prove the sharpest thorn
which has yet pierced the side of Russia. We
now proceed to the writer's contrast of the policy
of France with that of the other Four Powers
The policy of France has been simple, frank, and
honest. She always wished for a pacific solution of
the Eastern question, and a solution that would avoid
all encroachment on the Ottoman empire. Undoubtedly
it matter. little to France 'whether -Mehemet "Ail pre..
e or abandons such and such a portion of the terri-
tory that he occupies. If the Pacha took it into his
head to return to private life, or to restore to the Sultan
the government of Syria, or even that of Egypt,
France would offer no obstacle. But wise policy is not
founded upon foolish suppositions. Mehemet Al; has
occupied for a length of time those provinces—he has
strongly established himself therein—he is not a man
to dispossess himself easily of them. The French Go-
vernment, in bearing in mind those facts, the embarrass-
ment of the Ottoman empire, the antecedent conduct of
the Pacha, his skilfulness and influence in the East,
understands that every serious attempt to deprive
the Pacha of his conquests might tend to a fatal
collision with the Porte, and to dangerous com-
plications for the peace of the world. France,
pursuing that mild, judicious, and practical conduct
which eminently distinguishes the monarchy of July,
has come to the decision that it was necessary, in the
interest of the Ottoman empire, and of the equilibrium
of Europe, to accept the facts that have been accom-
plished, and to arrive, by a prudent dilatoriness, and the
moral influence of the Powers, at an arrangement which,
without in anywise depreciating the real strength of the
Porte, would shelter her from every commotion and
dismemberment. A contrary policy is but egotism,
weakness, and anger ; in fact, the egotistical views of
Russia, Lord Palmerston's and Lord Ponsonby's anger,
the weakness of the Austrian and Prussian Cabinets,
excited and encouraged by false suppositions with re-
vect to France, are the ringleaders of that monstrous
alliance, which being incapable of producing anything
decisive, has already done much harm by the perturba-
tion and alarms which it has created in the contracts of
the world.

This is the first distinct avowal yet made of the
real policy of France. We confess, with a recollec-
tion of the occurrences of the last six years not alto-
gether eradicated from our minds, it impresses us
with no very exalted notion of the wisdom of the
French Cabinet. If we remember rightly, it was ad-
mittedby M.THIERs himself in January last, that the
status quo in the East could not- much longer be
preserved without the intervention of the Great
Powers. At all events, we are certain that France
signed a note conjointly with the other Powers, in
which the Porte was instructed to negotiate no di-
rect settlement of the differences with the PACHA,
as England, France, Russia, Austria, and Prussia,
had charged themselves with that business. For the
text of this note, we refer to the archives of the
President of the Council. Then be it remembered

.hat the SULTAN'S fleet was riding at anchor for
upwards of a year at Alexandria ; that the kid-
napped crews were not suffered to return to their
own country ; that the VICEROY kept an army for
the whole time in readiness to march upon Con-
stantinple ; and that he had even the audacity to
employ the SULTAN'S ships in the transport of
troops intended to make war on the SULTAN'S
subjects in Syria, and then point out in what way
chepolicy of France could avail in procrastinating a
rupture which every hour rendered more and more
inevitable ? No : the Four Powers acted upon
the procrastinating policy of France as long as they
could—longer than was consistent with a proper
regard for the interests of the inhabitants of Turkey
and Egypt. It was this procrastinating policy
which compelled MEHEMET ALI to desolate Egypt,
to keep on foot an immense army to prevent the
possibility of his being attacked unawares ; and
which, by distracting the attention of the Divan,
prevented the progress of substantial reforms in
Turkey and Syria.

What follows includes the whole of this article
not devoted to probabilities and conjectures ; and
to that fanciful portion we have previously given

when he proposes to do in the East that which France
disapproves of—it is to France that he appeals to lend
ber moral concurrence, the support of her influence !
'• Your influence," says he, " is all powerful at Alexan-
dria." Is that language serious? If it were not,
France would have a right to complain of it. She is
too great a personne for any one to resort to irony with
her. If that language, as we have reason to believe, is
serious, it approaches ingenuity. What ! France would
employ her influence in order that the Convention of
the 15th July, made without her, and in some measure
against her, remain a dead letter ! France would come
in aid of the Anglo-Russian alliance ! She would con-
tribute to lessen the man that is detested at St. Peters-
burgh, and whom Lord Palmerston and Lord Ponsonby
pursue with their hatred.

Again, the Pacha is free to restore, if he thinks pro-
per, ail her possessions to the Porte. He is free to be
afraid, and to disown, if he likes, all the proceedings of
his lifetime. France, as long as the Porte acts alone,
as long as she remains sirgly mistress of the country, has
nothing to say. But, whatever may be done in the name
in the name of the convention of the 15th July, of the
convention concluded clandestinely, without inviting pre-
viously and formally France to discuss it and to take
part therein, assuredly the French Government will not
give her assent thereto. Her part, the minimum as it
were of her part, is an armed observation. The surplus
will depend upon events, upon the prudence or the au-
dacity of the Cabinets. The policy of France is known ;
worthy ; France asks for nothing,
equilibrium of Europe to be

but is disinterested,

compromised with impunity. She loves peace ; she
knows and appreciates the advantages of it ; but on the
day when her right and honour would command it she
would wage war as France can do it, and in that quer
ter where France has the most interest do it. She would
not allow herself to have a field of battle assigned to her
I —she would choose it.

We have here an important acknowledgment.
France, so indifferent to what MEHEMET ALI
tx ay choose to do, if he act of his own accord—
who professes herself ready to peril the peace of
Europe, out of regard, not to the welfare of his
people, but his individual feelings, professes disap-
probation of the Treaty of London, and detects
something like a sneer in the invitation to employ
her mediation in rendering its execution by force
unnecessary. Why was not this stated sooner ?
And how does an objection to the end aimed at by
the Treaty consist with a professed indifference as to
whether MEHEMET ALI "voluntarily" retai❑ or
yield up Syria, and even Egypt ? Does enlight-
ened France see no more in this great question than
the duty of politeness to a rebel and an usurper?
And is the Mediterranean to be discoloured with
Christian blood, to prevent MEHEMET ALI from
being compelled to perform an act in itself wholly
indifferent to France ? We must confess that such

lax morality on the part of a great Christian na-
tion disgusts and shocks us. We can see in it no
evidence of true greatness, wisdom, or virtue ; and
although M. MIGNET assures us that the KING
and the country go heart and hand with the Cabi-
net in preparing for war, we shall be greatly mis-
taken if the zeal of both be not cooled by this
Ministerial Manifesto.

The communication from Berlin, which appears
in another part of the Paper under the head of
Dutch Mail, cannot fail to strike our readers.
While the late King of PRUSSIA lived, he was
almost universally praised for his clemency and his
paternal government ; yet it appears at his death
there were immured in different places not fewer
than 2,998 State prisoners. In this country,
previous to the Chartist movement, we believe
there- was not one; and, notwithstanding all the
strong speeches that have been made since, not a
fiftieth part of that number have been committed to
prison out of a population twice as great as that of
Prussia. We mention this fact merely to contrast
the treatment which political offenders receive
under a constitutional and a paternal Govern-
ment, and at the same time to offer a
tribute of praise to the present King of
PRUSSIA. He was by certain parties represented
at one time as a violent enemy of popular liberty,
and bent on war with France, and even with Eng-
land, for the reforms intiOdu-Ced-by their respective
Governments into the institutions of the respective
countries ; while it now appears that his character
has been cruelly maligned, and that he has taken
the first opportunity of proving this fact, by the
liberation of about 3,000 individuals, confined for
imitating our example. This is a noble commence-
ment of a reign, and will have its effect not on
Prussia only, but the whole of Germany.

We stated some time ago that the peace party
in France were intent upon the removal of M.
THIERS from office as the surest means of preserv-
ing amicable relations with England. This was
treated by some of our Contemporaries as an idle
surmise, and passed over by others without notice.
We observed, at the same time, that M. THIERS
was too firmly fixed in the saddle to be thrown in
a tilt with Marshal SOULT or Count MOLE; and
that while nothing could be more desirable than
his retirement till after the settling of the Eastern
question, it was only to be expected from his pa-
triotism. The truth of that statement, and the correct-
ness of the opinion which we founded upon it, are fully
confirmed by articles in the French Ministerial
Journals of Wednesday. The attempt to oust M.
THIERS was actually made, and, as we predicted,
failed. The result may be guessed. M. TRIERS
not only assumes the mien of a conqueror, but has
compelled the KING to adopt his views under pe-
nalty of being denounced as wanting in sympathy
with the lovers of tWilitary glory. A worse conse-
quence still is that M. THIERS, irritated, no
doubt, at the attempt to oust him, declares that he
will not resign the settlement of the Eastern Ques-
tion to any other statesman, and actually makes
it a point of honour to continue in office. Mark
the terms in which the Constitionnel—the personal
organ of the President of the Council—contradicts
a report in a Carlist paper of the proffered resigna-
tion of that Minister immediately after the return
of the KING from Eu

slightest
difference between the Crown and the Cabinethas
arisen as to the political conduct imposed upon France
by
the event of the treaty of July 15. The truth is,
nothing has occurred to change the position of the Ca-
binet, but something has happened to alter the hopes of
the e ultra-Conservatives leagued against it. Some days
since an intrigue was spoken of which was working on
some banks of the Chamber of Peers and some
counting-houses of great financial repute, to up-
set the Ist of March Ministry. The theme of
this coalition consisted in presenting M. Thiers as
a Minister disagreeable to Europe, and as the only
cause of the isolation in which France had been placed.
Successors were all ready, who
were to reconcile the
French Government with the exterior. The Kir.g had
only to call them to his Council. They. were already
supplied with the exequatur of Austria. It was a
Ministry supported by a kind of diplomatic invasion.
It was very sure to please abroad, and every thing
could be arranged. Armed with such noble hopes,
the coalition began the campaign, and applied in every
quarter, but entrance was refused. In giving them-
selves out as the arbiters of
peace, they thought they
would be accepted at once ; they have been repelled
very formally, and then they turn round and say that
it was M. Thiers who wished to resign. The truth is
the Ministry was not the least disturbed by these in-
trigues, as they were defeated by quite another influence
than its own."

The Courrier Francais is equally indignant, and
directly charges Count MOLE with attempting to
sow disunion between the KING and the Cabinet,
to pave the way for his own return to office The
affair was certainly bunglingly managed, and, un-
fortunately, has had the effect of compelling the
KING, in order to maintain his popularity, to join
the war party. The following is an extract from the
article in the Courrier Francais of Wednesday :
"The journals of M. Mole have, for some days, been
endeavouring to represent the King as separate from
his Ministry. This policy is disloyal, and does not
show a great respect for the Constitution. It places:the
King on one side and the nation on the other, as if the
support of M. Mole had caused the scale to incline on

one side. The King, justly offended at this manoeuvre,
which tended to denationalise him, has, by his public
acts, shown the perfect union of vi ws and sentiments

which exists betiveen him and his Cabinet. He has

explained himself to the Foreign Ambassadors ; and
those who still believed in the existence of a personal

Government may now be convinced that from the Ist
of March, at least, he has ident.fied himself with the

parliamentary Government.
Except an article in the Constitutionnel, which
will be found in another column, there is nothing
of any interest about the Eastern Question or the
Treaty of London in Wednesday's Journals.
What general news they bring will be gleaned from
the annexed extracts :

The Moniteur Parisien of Tuesday night publishes
the following explanation of the letter of the Count de
Saint Leu, ex-King of Holland :
" The room which Louis Bonaparte occupies in the
Palais de Justice is certainly that in which Fieschi was
confined, but the reproaches cast upon the authorities
on this account are unwarranted. The chamber in
question, several months ago, underwent a complete
transformation, and was assigned as a lodging for the
female inspector of the woman's ward, who was obliged
to resign it on the arrival of Louis Napoleon."
The Monileur states that a telegraphic despatch has
been received from Bayonne, announcing that the
English troops had completely evacuated Passages.
The Nacional states that the Duke de Montpensier,
who has just entered his 17th year, is to command a
company of the line at the camp of Fontainebleau, and
asks, " is it not pitiable to see a boy of 17 years of age,
a schoolboy in vacation, commanding a company of
French soldiers ?" The Duke of Orleans is a General,
the Duke de Nemours a General, M. d'Aumale
Lieutenant-Colonel, M. de Montpensier a Captain.
They might be satisfied with being Princes without re-
quiring to be heroes.
The Journal of the Saone and Loire mentions, that
a discovery has just been made in the neighbourhood of
Tournon, which is very interesting to the scientific
world. Some fishermen from Truchere, who had cast
their nets in the river Seilie, drew out a pair of enor-
mous horns, attached to the upper part of the head of
a quadruped which may be considered as the head of
the auroch, or primitive bull, an animal which was
called an elephant by the ancient Gauls, on account of
its enormous size. The dimensions of these horns,
which are broke n st the extremities, are three-qu irters
of a yard long, with a diameter of five inches at the base.
The Mohiteur Perisien and Messager, the evening
official prints, publish the following strange statement:—
"Among the host of inventions in certain letters sent
to provincial journals, an,l which are copied by some of
the Paris journals, it has been said that M. d'Appony
was personally irritated against M. Thiers for having
suppressed a subvention which he received from the
French Government. It is hardly necessary to state
that this absurd calumny never had the least foundation
in truth."

POLISH COSTUME.—We have received positive in-
formation that the King of Prussia has addressed a
Royal rescript to the States of the Grand Duchy of
Posen, enjoining them to appear at the ceremony of his
coronation, at Kcenigsberg, in the national costume of
Poland. It is well known that at the time of the par-
tition it was the Emperor Joseph 11. alone who retained
this last sign of the nationality of Poland, which was
suppressed under his successors. Prussia and Russia
would never hear mention of this costume, and the Em-
peror Alexander, who called himself the Restorer of
Poland, would not permit the Paladins of the kingdom
to appear in their national dress at his coronation. This
concession, granted by Frederick William IV., added
to the broad scale on which he has settled the differ-
ences between him and the Catholic Church in his
Polish territories, has filled the minds of all his Polish
subjects with enthusiasm.—Presse.
We have the following letter from Toulon, dated the
28th of August :
" Admiral Rosamel's squadron of four ships of the
line is in sight, and is going to cast anchor in the road.
It comes from Tunis. The Jena is hastening to take
stores on board, in order to rejoin the Levant squadron.
" It is impossible not to blame again on this occasion
the weakness of the Ministry, which, actuated by merely
personal considerations, divided our force in the Medi-
terranean ; and thus, in the course of a conflict which
it conceives to be not imminent, but against which
it ought to take precautions, exposes us to be beaten in
detail by a more prudent enemy."
Another letter from Toulon, confirming the return of
the four ships of the line, under Admiral Rosamel, an-
nounces that this division is going to put to sea again
in company of the Jena and the Scipion, to complete
the crew of which every exertion is making.
It was reported at Toulon that Vice-Admiral Baudin
was going to take the command ; others affirm that
Admiral Duperre will come to command the fleet.
Is Admiral Lalarde definitely recalled ?
The accounts from Barcelona and Madrid are of
the 25th.
Madrid, preparations were making for some un-
known danger, as happened in France in 1830.
A great number of the inhabitants of Madrid, fearing
that the Government will proceed in the fatal course on
which it has entered, have just formed a " Patriotic
Constitutional Assochtion," the object. of which will be
the defence of the laws, and of the National t..3onstitu-
don. They have called on all the men in every part of
the Peninsula, who are worthy by their opinions or their
conduct, to take part in this enterprise.

The German Journals just received bring the
following account of the military preparations of
Russia for carrying on the war against the brave
Circassians

BESSARABIA, AUG. 12.—The Russian arms in the
Caucasus are still in repose ; the orders to refrain from
all offensive operations have just been repeated. Some
ascribe this to general political considerations, espe-
cially with regard to Turkey. Others affirm that this
repose is rendered necessary, both by the dreadful heat
and the great sickness which prevails among the Russian
troops. The preparations for striking a decisive blow,
however, continue. Fresh troops are constantly ar-
riving in Bessarabia. Thus the twelve divisions of in-
fantry under Lieut.-General Ruszyn (ot which two re-
giments were previously detached to the actual Corps
of Operations) lately arrived from Warsaw. This
division belongs to the fourth corps, which forms the
Reierve, and will probably winter in Bessarabia. The
head-quarters are at Kiszineff. Next to this is the
11th division in Kaminecz, and then the 10th in Kiew,
where the Emperor will shortly arrive to inspect the
troops.

While the Russians are thus quiet, the Circassians,
on their part, seem to be preparing for the approaching
struggle. Most of the tribes are quiet, only the
Tschetschenses and the Kabardines make from time to
time sudden attacks on the Russian troops, and cause
them to suffer much loss. It is pretty confidently re-
ported that Prince Paskewitsch is expected to direct
the gigantic operations against the fanatic mountain
tribes.

Madrid Journals of the 26th ultimo have
cached us.

By a Royal decree of the 20th ult., published in the
Madrid Gazette of the 26th, the armies of the North,
Centre, and of Catalonia, are to be divided into four
corps, organized into divisions and brigades, destined to
guard and garrison Navarre, the Basque Provinces, and
Arragon. The army of the north is to consist of thirty-
two battalions of infantry and twelve squadrons of
c ivalry ; that of Arragon of sixteen battalions and
eight squadrons ; that of Valencia of sixteen battalions
and eight squadrons ; and that of Catalonia of thirty-
two battalions and eight squadrons.

Letters from Alexandria of the 17th ult., state

that the VICEROY had arrested and lodged in the
Castle of Aboukir, seven Captains of the. Turkish
fleet, who thought proper to hint to the CAPITAN
PACIIA that they entertained scruples about fight-
ing against the SULTAN, especially as their falpi_
lies were in his power.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals this week have been small of English Grain,
but considerable of Foreign Wheat and Oats. The libe-
ration of the Foreign Wheat, at a duty of 2s. Bd., has
brought forward a large number of samples, and some few
sales have been made at a reduction of 2s. per cent. from
Monday's pficet, both for Foreign and English. In other
Grain no variation in value, Wept for Foreign. Oats in
tender condition, were offering for less money. Scarcely
any trade for Flour. London averages—Weat, 8,000

COLONIAL PRODUCE.

The operations in produce by private treaty were on a
small scale, and the public sales were of little moment ;
prices, however, were firm, and the arrivals of produce
again small. Some important public sales were declared.
