pcndent State ; inviting the Jews to return to Jeru.'
saki» ; and, by way Of maintaining the intearity.of!
the Turkish empire, divid:ng it in o three distinct "'
and independent sovereignties I Surely Irish heads-
are not the only clever heads at the perpetration -of
bulls.

But, however we may dispose of Syria--arid''
before counting the chickens, it would be as well to
see them hatched—there can be no doubt of tite,
interest which Great Britain has in the success of.
the so-called insurgents. To this fact only would -
we now invite the serious attention of the Govern-
ment, and the people of this country. Nothing
can be easier than to supply the Syrians from
Malta or Gibralter with the necessary munitions of
war, and no doubt a few gallant English and
French officers will volunteer their services to the
Druses and Maronites of the mountains, so as to
impart a military precision to the movements of
their brave but undisciplined followers.

The French Government has made an important
admission, and one which will be gall and worm''
wood to the " distinguished Correspondent " of the
Post, to the Tories, and to all who seek to saddle,
Lord PALMERSTON with having provoked a rue'
ture with France. It admits that there was nothing
secret in the negotiations of the Four Powers,-1
that the alleged secret treaty was not secret at all
—that France was perfectly aware of every stet)
taken by the other Powers, but that she voluw.
tarily- chose to take no part in them. " Was
France ignorant," asks the Constitutionnel, the or,
gan of the Foreign Minister, of Thursday, ,c that,
negotiations were pending ? Certainly not. The
Morning Chronicle is therefore right in its format.,
contradiction of the assertion of the .Morning Post,
relative to the pretended secresy of the treaty, an
the ignorance of our Ambassador respecting it. It
is because the French Government was cognizant
of these negotiations and their purport that it rel
fused to take any part in them. And after repealta,:
intercessions, in order to obtain its assent, it persistea
in. abstaining; there is nothing humiliating to her..
dignity in the circumstance that negotiations wele,.
effected without her." This is a full acquittal 01
Lord PALMERSTON of the grave charge of insult'
ing and endeavouring to dupe France by the con'
coction of a secret treaty, preferred against hke,
Lordship by the Post's recreant correspondent, and
echoed by a few fire-side politicians in Parliament,'
But we must claim for The Sun the priority.
making the assertion for which the Constitutional-
gives credit to the Chronicle. The formal contra'
diction of the assertion of the Post's correspondents
that there existed a secret treaty unknown to
France, only appeared in The Sun of the 24th
ult.—the very day on which the charge was
made in the columns of the Post. In no other
London Journal of that date was the existence 01
such a treaty so much as called in question.
France has likewise had the frankness to state
the whole of the difference between herself an",
the four Powers. She is for giving Syria to the
PAuttA, while they insist upon restoring it to the
SULTAN. " Syria is necessary to the indepen4
dence of the Porte" say the four Powers ; You are
mistaken," answers France ; " but whether or o',
Syria is essential to the existence of the PACHA'
This is the whole question as it stands, and as the
French Government says it stood for the last two
years. There has been no mystery—no intrigue
no indication of bad faith on the part of any of 11l
Powers. France was entreated--prayed—implored
to unite in the decision of the four Powers, but she
sullenly and doggedly refused. If misfortunes 007
from these events, who but France is to blame 1 ,
There is more speculation than news in wer
French Papers of Thursday. In another part
The Sun will be found the spirit of the rrell
Press on the Eastern question, which will be Fee
with interest. We do not give much for the vl'eS.
like boasting of the Constitutionnel. The exe'_%°,
nations already given remove any apprehensin'
which we entertained of a possible rupture betwet:
England and France. The Debats hints p%
plainly that at the Tuileries the sacrifice of a Brinc.
Minister is all that is wanted to put the Courtiera„
good humour with England. We expect to pail(
chase the smiles of France at a less sacrifice.:-
