ronmzew—cOLONTAlra,
The riots at Toulouse continue to afford materials
for political discussion in the French journals. Our
views of this affair have already been expressed with suf-
ficient explicitness.
The Toulon Sentinille draws an indifferent picture
of the boasted improvement of the Arabs under the tui-
tion of the :French conductors of Razzias. " Inces-
sant robberies and nurders," says this Journal,
" are still committed even in the vicinity
of Algiers. - Scarcely a week passes - without
some of our sentinels being killed, and it is impossible to
go a hundred yards from the camp without an escort
and outscouts." Surely a better schoolmaster than
General Bugeaud is ;till wanted here, or his lessons
practically illustra:inf the horrors of indiscriminate
slaughter, rape, robber:, and flaming, have been wofully
misinterpreted. The French Commander proposed to
teach the Arabs to abhor their barbarous system of
war, as the Spartan; did their children to deter
drunkenness—by a pactical exhibition of its ofd`
but he was guilty of the egregious blunder of mt'
those he would teach the subjects of nis expe7.-
Bugeaud is a good so:dier, but he, is neither
nor a philosopher.
If the weather continue as wet and
f
next ten days as i; has done for the/
fortnight., in
France, there is every prospect of a
,ne in -that coun-
,4s over
try. To deepen the gloom which '
thi.e: social
horizon, the Anierican papers rer chat ,
tneArops have
entirely failed in the State of F. ork, th'.rgranaty of
North America.

A letter frokit Constanti-.;;pa, of e2Rth of June,
gives an amusing account of the 'interview between Me-
hemet Ali and the Turkish-Envoy, Sal lb Muhib Effendi,
relative to the arrears of tribute due to the Sublime
Porte. The dialogues which we give verbatim, is emi-
nently characteristic of the tact and talents of the wily
Albanian.: Sahib Muhib EfPandi thus writes to the
Porte :

" Upon my cautiously adverting to the question of arrears,
and stating bow agreeable it would be to the Sultan—whom
may God preserve—to receive the same, his Highness ex-
claimed, Allah ! Allah !my memory is certainly failing me.
By the Sultan's breath, I have forgotten. Ah ! The arrears !
How many years are due ?' I was about to insinuate the quan-
tum according to august instructions, when the Pw•ha cut
short my purport by saying, one, two, three years r Mashal-
lab ! how can 1 remember such trifles ? Oof! my dtefter
(registers) are at Cairo. Ah, ah, Sahib Muhib Effendi !
you are a prudent man ; lam your friend! You do not calcu-
late upon impossibilities, like those %affirs who attempt to cir-
cumvent the Porte. May they go to an exceeding hot place !
lam the Sultan's footstool ; all I have is his. I will send for
my registers some day. But I cannot convert onion peeliogs
into ingots ! By the Padisha's glory ! Hei ! Hei 1 let more
salutes be fired. His Viziers think that I possess the Seithe
Fars (philosophers' stone), and that Egypt breeds dollars;
Arrears oof You said two, three, perhaps less.' Where-
upon I was going to suggest that I had said no such thing, but
he nipped the thres.d of my speech by exclaiming,'llah
ahkbar !'—God is gr eat !we shall see. My registers will soon
come. But that does not signify. Let more salutes be fired.
You are an exceedingly discreet and gifted man, 0 Sahib
Muhib Effendi I We will settle accounts with the Porte in a
twinkling. I wovild not withhold the value of a hair from my
lord and master the Sultan, in whom be the blessings of in-
crease. My head is at his feet. Tell him so.'"
Some of the insurgent Cretans defeated by the
Turks recently, escaped in boats, and took shelter in
the Austrie.n territory. Will it be believed that the
Austrian Admiral Bandeira seized them, . and deliverer'.
them over to the Turkish authorities, to be dealt with at
their pleasure ? The fact seems incredible, but it is true.
It was reported at Constantinople, on the 2 Sth
ult., that the Russian steamer from Alexandria had
broken the quarantine at the Dardanelles, and in spite! of
the health officers landed her despatches at Therap 3f.a.
Seventeen cases of plague were at the time in quaran-
tine, of which six proved fatal. The Porte was prepa r-
ing a strong rerr,onstrance to the Russiam Ambassador.
No one at Constantinople bolieves that Mehemet
Ali is sincere in his submission to the Porte. This
general ineredality is in itself fatal to lasting pacificn.tion
of the East. The less Mehemet Ali is to be trusted the
more it is the true policy of the Porte to appear on all
occasions to place implicit reliance upon his fidelity.
Reschi cl Pasha has been invested with the insignia
of the Prussian order of the Red Eagle. As the Porte
never granl.s the privilege of accepting such decorations
to disgraced Ministers, it is surmised that Redschid
Pasha will soon have his face whitened with the re-
splendent beams of the " world's magnificence," Abd-ul-
- The sooner the better.
The King of Hanover issued, on the 4th inst., a
justificatory proclamation of his act in dissolving the
Chambers, and setting forth his right to collect the taxes
without th a consent; of the Legislature. His Majesty
libels the Opposition. Did the laws of Hanover allow
him to indulge in the vengeance dictated by his royal
heart, there is not .one of' them that he would not hang
with as little compunction as a butcher would a dog. We
will give the proc-Jamation on Monday.

Accounts from the manufacturing districts state
that the aspect of things is becoming every day darker.
The failure at Vienna has paral3 sed the German houses,
an& domestic failures are,of every day occurrence. The

Yesterday the steam-ship Dundee arrived in the
river from Dundee, with 170 boxes of salmon, 92 live
oxen, 65 sheep, besides a large quantity of manufactured
.goods. The North Star, from Inverness, arrived shortly
-afterwards, with a similar cargo.

The Port PAilip Gazette speaks of the discovery of

posed to communicate with the ocean, and forms a find
harbour.

Experiments with percussion shells were renewed
yesterday at Wooll vich, at the instance of the Duke of
Normandie. The oxperitn-mts made by the Duke were
unfortunately not very '-successful. A box, containing
come explosive matcnial 6, was placed in the mound about
six feet deep; but, ace(' rding to the last accounts, it had
not exploded, and the question is, who will have courage
to dig it out.

The trial s which have taken place at the Devizes
Assizes during the present circuit, give an awful picture
of the degraded.. and brutal character of the peasantry in
the agricultural and Conservative county of Wilts. The
cases tried ther e on Thursday are quite horrible.
Two men were fined 1001. each, at ,the Thames
