enable her to surmount them. Of these difficulties

the most to be dreaded is the occupation of Con- I
stantinople by a Russian army, under any pretext
whatever; as Lord PALMERSTON is no stranger
to the general indignation which such an occupa-
tion would excite in every British bosom, we
cannot but be persuaded that it is one of the first
for the removal of which the Government has
taken the most decided measures. General as is
the desire of the people. of England to uphold the
Ottoman empire, we really believe that we speak
the opinions of nine-tenths of all who have re-
flected on the subject, when we assert that they
would rather hear of the occupation of Constan-
tinople by MEHEMET ALI as a conqueror, than
by the Emperor NICHOLAS as a friend and ally to
the young SULTAN.
Now it is upon this important point that the
French Journals all mistake us. They app€ar
to entertain a conviction that England has been
bamboozled into a belief of the amicable professions
of Russia towards the Porte. Nothing can be
more unfounded. England knows as well now as
she did at any past period in her history, that Rus-
sia has no object more at heart than the subversion
of the Ottoman Empire ; but she is likewise sen-
sible that she possesses no means of counteracting
the policy of Russia more effectual than that
afforded by the Treaty of London. We shall take
an early opportunity of entering more at length into
• the details of this very interesting view of the
I question.

Besides the political articles in the French
Journals, to which we have above alluded, and the
account of a Republican dinner in Paris on Mon-
day, which will be found in another column, the
following extracts include the only news of any mo-
ment in these Papers :

A dinner was given to M. Odillon Barrot on the
27th ult. by the electors of Crecy, in the Aisne. In
acknowledging the toast to his health, M. Odin( n
Barrot alluded as follows to the existing difflrences be-
tween France and the other great Powers :
" I am a great partisan of peace, and should see
with deep:regret the present movement of civilisation
checked ; but France cannot consent to give way ; lot
with her resources to give way would be to degrade
herself.—(Loud cheers.) One general feeling should
at this moment absorb all others. It will be found in
the following toast : To the maintenance of the dignity
of the French name in the world, although to maintain
it we should have to renew the great struggle in which
so many brave men fell!' "
This toast ;vas received with great enthusiasm, and
was followed by loud cries of " Vive la France ! Vive
l'honneur du nom Francais ! Vive Odillon Barrot !"
As we have announced, M. Casimer Perier really
set out on Saturday evening for Havre, where he will
embark for St. Petersburg. We persist in saying that
he will act as Charge d'Affaires at St. Petersburg in the
room of M. de Barante, our Ambassador. The Mi-
nistry on its side bad reason to say that M. de Barante
would not be recalled. The fact is, that the Ambas-
dor will depart some time before the arrival of M.
Pcrier, under the pretext of leave of absence, and that
he will not return to St. Petersburg. The sudden ar-
rival of Madame de Barante is a symptom of the speedy
return of her husband.
We have received the following letter :
" GIBRALTAR, AUG. 15.—Our arsenal, which has
been so long dormant, is suddenly roused into action,
ant! extraordinary activity now prevails in that esta-
blishment. A fr;gate, after taking on board 15,000
muskets and some Artillerymen, put out to sea ; its
destination is not positively known, but it is supposed
to be the Levant.
" To-day a ship of the line under the English colours
passed the Straits, and pursued its course without stop-
ping, to the Levant. Within these few days two Eng-
lish frigates also passed. It seems that England is send-
ing all the naval force that can be spared to the Levant."
The Pressc, the connection of which with the Palace
is well known, attacks and contradicts in the most ener-
getic manner the warlike disposition attributed to the
Court, and the unreasonable speeches, as it justly ob-
serves, put into the King's mouth against Lord Palmer-
ston and Prince Metternich. It is certain that a King
who should complain in these terms of Foreign Ministers
would be doing an injury to personal dignity, and we
cannot understand how the Ministerial Journals can
have become the echoes and the approvers of sallies so
contrary to the calm dignity of a crowned head.—Lc
Commerce.
The trial of Louis Napoleon will not commence till

the Ist of October. The meeting of the 15th will be
for the purpose of reading the act of accusation, but
the prisoners will not be brought to trial until the d
above named. General Excelmans has refused to be
present at the trial.
We have Madrid and Barcelona letters of the 25th.
The arrival of the Queen at Valencia was known. The
Queen Regent wished to reduce the military force in
every part o f Spain to 80,000 men, but Espartero will
not consent to lower the estimate below 130,000.

The aficottnts (torn ripairi state that a tircular has
been addressed by the political chief of Seville to the
authorities of the other provinces, stating that he has
received infortnation, bn which reliance
ican be placed,
that the authorities of that town had received by a
eourier a communication from the Committee of the
Club at Madrid to hoist the standard of revolution, and as
the Duke of Victoria having separated himself from the
political line to which it was thought he was attached,
it was now the time to put the projects into execution,
and it was hoped that the army would support them.
Emissaries were to leave Madrid for the various pro-
vinces. His Excellency said that he should he on his
guard, and brave all danger to maintain tranquillity.

THE PEOVER. MURDER.--A. man and woman
have been apprehended on suspicion
of having been eon:
corned in the murder of the aged farmer and his wife.
It appears the officers have been for some days on the look.
out for them. When taken on Sunday a bundle of rags
was all that was found in their possession. On seeing the
officer the man said, " I know what you want me for—it
is about the Peover murder." He also, when in the
" luck-up," uttered some rather suspicious expressions, and
gave but a very poor account of himself. The witness( s
who appeared against them did not establish their guilt.
The prisoners, who were in a destitute situation, having
only a few pence in their pockets, were remanded. A
Correspondent of the Times says that an Irishman has
been taken into custody at Cavan, of whose guilt there is
but little doubt,
