jiyo. resolutely retitsed to amend. There it is,-
'however ; and Sir B. PEEL and his party are
properly punished, by the dfficulties of their
situation, fir maintainin,g, the laws which are
now causing a deficiency of revenue for the State
and a deficiency of food for the people.

The advent of the Tories to office, was to be
the coming of peace and prosperity. We have al-
ready adverted to the disastrous effect their ap-
proach to power has had on ouftrade. Its effects
may be traced abroad, as well as at home. The
healthy influence of Great Britain over other
countries is'ehecked, by the certainty that the
Tories will soon annihilate it altogether., France,
defeated in Syria, turns her attention to Spain,
and •the intrigues of LOUIS PHILIPPE threaten
to embroil that country, in order to pave the
way for placing his branch of the BOURBONS on
the throne. He would not have undertaken that
task had Lord PALMERSTON, who so cleverly
overthrew M. Tnitas, not been about to retire.
Lord PALMERSTON is aware that any remon-
strances on his part would want the weight
which they had when he was backed by the
confidence of Parliament, and he is condemned
to a limited activity. The Tories like DON CAR-
LOS better than the EX•QUEEN, and the
EX-QUEEN better than ESPARTERO, and
they would look complacently on the intrigues
to defeat ESPARTERO, in the hope of restoring
the ascendancy of the Carlists, if they could not
expect to place CARLOS on the Throne. The
probability of the Tories acceding to office has
given strength and consistency, then, to the plans.
of Louis PHILIPPE and the ex-Queen of SPAIN.
They know that in a fortnight they will have
nothing whatever to dread from England. At
home the effect of the Tories' success has been to
produce bankruptcy and augment distress;
abroad it has endangered an ally, and may
speedily embroil Europe.

We perceive with pleasure that the new colony
of Western Australia, has commenced most
auspiciously. England now boasts another fair
daughter in Australind, which promises to grow
and flourish like her sisters. All the settlers
write in the most favourable terms of the country
at Leschenault, and say it would be per-
fect did not a bar at the entrance of the
inlet impede navigation. They find both lime-
stone and timber close to the spot they have
chosen for the site of their town ; the waters
abound in fish; and melons, grapes, with all the
fruits and vegetables common to our climate,
thrive well. It is some satisfaction to our
people to know, that, as their own father-land
is made comfortless by penury, and unbearable
by the oppression of grinding monopolies,—
that new homes are preparing for them and
their offspring in the southern hemisphere,—
where Englishmen are establishing a new em-
pire, that promises, in time, to be as prosperous
and as powerful as the Old England of the
Northern Hemisphere.
Some extracts from the public despatches
of the Governor of the new settlement, will
be found in another part of The Sun.

We anticipated yesterday all the really im-
portant news in the Paris Journals of Wed-
nesday. The speech of Commodore Sir
!JII A ALES .NAPIER at the dinner given to Ad-
miral Sir ROBERT STOPFORD, iS thesubject
of a most bitter article in the Cournier
_Francais of 'Wednesday. Some topics were

touched upon in the Commodore's speech which
might have better been avoided; but the Gal-

lant and Honourable Gentleman stood in so pe-
culiar a position that lie could not well omit
them. After the correspondence that had taken
place between himself and the Admiral relative
to some expressions delivered, inadvertently
perhaps, in the course of his addresses at Li-
verpool and Manchester, he may have consi-
dered it a duty which he owed to his own
high character, to repeat in Admiral STOP..
FORD'S presence, every statement which
bad made e 1:81! ete

teat if C.:,41 mimodure N !PIER spoke more of his
own brilliant exploits than the fastidious public
care to hear from the mouths ot. heroes, when
speaking of themselves, he spoke under strong
and unnierited provocation. lu the negotiations
with MEHEMET ALI he was treated by the
Admiral in a way which it was impossible fur
him not to resent, and this involved the neces-
sity of appealing to the principal share which he
undoubtedly had in the conquest of Syria.
We alluded yesterday to an able article in the
Journal des JJebats on the new Treaty of Lon-
don. The following extract from it will give our
readers au idea of the way in which this Treaty
is regarded by Frenchmen of moderate opinions:
It is important, in order that the spirit of this pro-
tocol may be fully understood, to know in what way
France was called upon by the rest of Europe to become
again a party to the European compact. Was it merely as
connected with a temporary question like that of the treaty
of July 15 ? No, it was a general and permanent ques-
tion, a question which involves the integrity and indepen-
dence of the Ottoman Empire, that is to say, the very basis
of the difficulties which had been created in Europe by
that treaty. Europe imagines that the closing of the
Bosphorus and Dardanelles to the ships of war of all
nations is the surest guarantee for the maintenance of
the Ottoman empire. We may be of a different opinion;
we might say, that this guarantee, having for its defence
only the weakness of the Ottoman Porte, is illusory ;
that a neutrality, which is not protected by some effective
force, is at the mercy of the first Power which may at-
tempt to violate it ; -that the means of preventing any
Power whatever from taking possession of Constantinople
in the event of war, should rather be, perhaps,
to open the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles to the
vessels of war of ail nations, because in this way what is
now defended by no Power, and may be attacked by any
Power, would in that case be defended by all; finally, we
might diffiir as to the means invented for the mainte-
nance of the Ottoman Empire. But whatever these
means may be, it is evident that the protocol of
July 13 makes the independence of the Empire one
of the principles of the general law of Europe. For
the . future, Turkey becomes part of Europe, and no
European Power can aggrandise itself at the expense of the
Ottoman Porte, without creating a legitimate ground of
complaint from all the other Powers. In inviting France to
re-enter into the European compact of this general and
permanent question, which is so intimately connected
with the maintenance of the equilibrium of Europe, the
protocol of the 13th of July declares explicitly its sense
of the manner in which the affairs of the East and West
are in future to be regulated. It excludes all exclusive
preponderance, and in this sense we think the protocol
must be displeasing to England, or rather, we should say,
and we hasten to mate the distinction, to those persons in
England who adopted the adventurous policy of Lord
Palmerston. We cannot believe that a policy whose prin.
ciple is the division of the domination in the East with
Russia can be an English policy. The protocol is a new
blow at the policy of M. Thiers. The opposition jour-
nals cannot approve of this protocol, but neither can they
attack it, for in giving new guarantees for the mainte-
nance of peace, it gives general satisfaction to the coun-
try, and to attack it would be to offend the feelings and :
assail the interests of the nation. The opposition jour-
nals may remain silent if they please, but their silence
will not deceive the country as to the importance of this
pro wool.

The Berne papers mention that the majority of
States in the Swiss Diet have pronounced against the
proposition of Argau for only re-establishing the con-
vent of nuns in that canton. Twelve States have de-
manded that a special commission should be appointed.
A curious incident occurred in the Court at Tulle,
during the trial of Madame Laffarge. About the time
of Madame de Leotaud entering the hall, every one was
on tiptoe to catch a glimpse of her, and a general outcry
was raised by those in the back-ground against a gentle-
man in front, who was, as they supposed, standing on his
chair. All their remonstrances to make him " stand
down" were ineffectual, and at length the gendarmes
were called in to enforce their wishes, when it was dis-
covered that the party was not standing on the chair,
but was standing 6 feet 5 inches in his shoes.

" The Minister of Public Instruction," says the
Courrier Francais," paid a visit a few days since to M.
A. Duval, the dramatic author, who has been confined to
his bed for some time by illness. On returning to his
official residence, the Minister increased the pension
already allowed to M. Duval, by 1,000 f."
The Municipal Council of Marseilles has resolved
on recommending the formation of a railroad between
Marseilles and Lyons, or at least from Marseilles to
the
Rhone.
_ The remains of the poor children, recently mur-

&red near-gleans, have been taken Lek to that town,
and there buried. The- ceremony was attended with a
remarkable occurrence. A dog, belonging to the family
of one of the girls, obstinately persisted in continuing,
during the funeral procession, under the coffin, as if it
were impossible for him to quit the remains of his young
mistress as long as they were above ground, adding
greatly to the painful feelings of all in attendance.
A mason living at the Point du Jour, beyond Au-
teuil, had long been in the habit of getting drunk, and
then beating his wife. Two days ago her cries became
so piercing, that the neighbours forced their way into
the house, to - save her from his brutality. They were
only just in time, for they found the mason in the act of
forcing the unhappy woman out of the window. She had
caught by the frame with one of her hands, which the
savage was actually tearing with his teeth, in order to
make her let go her hold. Some gendarmes attracted
by the disturbance, came up, and, aided by the people,
saved her ; but it was only after a dangerous conflict
that they could secure the husband, and conduct him to
the Prefecture of Police.

The act of devoted courage of Mlle. Amelie de
Roquefeuil d'Ambert, in a fire at a ladies' school at
Montpelier, where she was teacher, •having been made
known to the King by the Minister of the Interior, his
Majesty has conferred upon her a silver medal, with a
remuneration of 300 f.,; and has ordered that the proof
of resolution shown by her should be recorded among
the honourable actions annually laid by the Minister be-
fore the King.
M. de Saint Albin, a magistrate and landowner at
Montrouge, part of whose property lies on the line of
fortifications, had applied to the local magistrates for
redress-against the contractors for the works of the line
in that district, on account of their having trespassed
on and injured his property without the proper legal
summonses having been made. He was assured that re-
dress should be given him, but, the trespass having been
renewed, he applied direct to the Tribunal of First In-
stance, the President of which, Vii. Debelleyme, has
issued a decree forbidding the parties in question from
entering on the ground of M. de Saint Albin, until all
the legal formalities shall have been duly complied with.
A difference having arisen, the day before yester-
day, between about 150 of the labourers employed on the
works of the fort at Noisy-le-Sec and the middleman,
who had engaged them, he referred them to the contrac-
tor. The labourers claimed of him 3f. a day, instead of
2f. 50c., which he offered, and with which all the other
labourers were contented. The disputes which this oc-
casioned rose to violent altercations and acts which made
the interference of the armed force necessary. A con-
flict would have ensued had not the Mayor of Romain-
ville interposed, and by his remonstrances with the men,
in which he persevered for six hours, prevented an ex-
plosion.
A SLAP IN THE FACE.—The Stockholm papers men-
tion that a saucy femme7de-chambre being lately brought
up before one of the Magistrates of the town of Hues-
berg in Sweden, so far forgot herself as to give him a slap
in the face while in the execution of his office. Accord-
ing to the severe penal laws of that country she was
condemned to death ; and such was the violence of her
character, that it required a long time, and all the in-
stances of her friends, to induce her to sign a petition to
the King for pardon. She was at last prevailed on to
do so, and her sentence was commuted into imprison-
ment for twelve days, and twelve months' labour in a
house of correction.

The following &tails of the election of the dele-
gates of Guadaloupe are given by the Moniteur Parisien :
" The great majority of the Colonial Council, as appears
from the elections, belongs to the party which resists the
views of the Government as to slave-emancipation. The
number of Councillors who voted was 24. M. de Cha-
zelles, planter, of Guadaloupe, had 15 votes. M. Des-
mirail, formerly Procureur-General, and now planter at
Guadaloupe; 13; M. Granier de Cassagnac, 11 ; M. Vil-
lemain, planter, at Martinique, 9. The minority felt
itself to be so'weak, that it did not venture to vote for
Messrs. Jabrun and Janvier, the delegates who had given
in their resignations in consequence of differences with
the Colonial Council."

M. Thiers passed through Cologne on the 6th inst.,
on his way to Berlin.
The Bishop of Algiers has arrived at Toulon, having
come over to France for the benefit of his health.

The Imperial, of Besancon, has the following
article :—" While the Journals are alleging all sorts of
subtleties and scepticisms to confuse the question relative
to the re-assessment, the execution of this measure,
which is for the interest of the public, proceeds quietly
in our departments. It has been completed in 400
rural communes, and in the Banlieu of Besancon, the
officers employed in the operation for these ten days,
have every reason to be satisfied with the reception given
them by the citizens of all classes, and of all opinions,
whose houses they have visited.—Le Moniteur.

We have received news from New York, dated
July 19th. A letter from Lackford, the town where Mr.
M'Leod is confined, had just arrived at New York,
bringing word that a party of Canadians, consisting of
400 men had forced the doors of Mr. M'Leod's prison,
and set him at liberty. The truth of this report was,
however, doubted.—Gazette de France.
We have received this morning the Toulouse Jour-
nals of the Bth. The France Meridionale, a Ministerial
journal, after having announced the apprehension of
Messrs. Arzac, Boaldes, and Gase, before the examining
Judge, says this affair will not be followed up.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS

FRANCE.

The Gazette de France states that the medical men
who were called in to attend the Duke de Bordeaux had
guaranteed his perfect cure. The Moniteur Parisien, on
the other hand, says, that the first ' assistance given to
the Prince was not skilfully directed ; that the most
simple precautions had been neglected, and that several
hours had elapsed before the aid of a professional man
could be obtained. " The state of the Prince," adds
that journal, " offered no danger, but it was thought
he would remain lame for the rest of his life, and perhaps
would never be able to walk without crutches."
The France states, that a considerable number of Roy-
alists had set off from Kirchberg to present their condo-
lences to the Duke of Bordeaux.

The intended visit of the king of the Belgians to
France was understood to have been postponed.
The Presse contradicts the report of the King and
Royal family, attended by Marshal Soult, intending to
be present at the fetes of Boul,

Julogne.
The France announces the Appointment of the Mar-
quis of Dalmatia to the Prussian Embassy.
The Courrier Francais states that much illness pre-
vailed among the crews of the division of Captain Leroy
at Tunis. According-to the same journal the sqtiadron
of Admiral Hugon was to remain a week at Algiers, and
then return to Toulon, where it is expected about the
20th instant. The division under Rear-Admiral Las-
susse is to stop at Smyrna, in order to be at hand to re-
ceive despatches from France, Constantinople, and Alex-
andria.

SPAIN.
The publication of the decree for the re-organization
of the Royal Guard, on the sth, at Madrid, excited
some agitation among the troops, but the city continued
tranquil. The Five per Cents. were done at 23i for cash,
and at 24 for 60 days.

GERMAN Y.
The Germanic Diet held a last sitting for this Session
on the sth instant, at which Baron de Bulow was for-
mally received as the Prussian Envoy.

SYRIA.
A letter from Beyrout, of the Bth ult., mentions
that the negotiations with the Princes of Lebanon
had taken an unfavourable turn for the Sultan. The
Syrians, after consenting to pay 3,500 purses, ap-
peared disinclined to make even this slight sacrifice, and
under various pretexts had pushed their outposts to
within a short distance of Jerusalem, of which they
were desirous to gairt possession. The country of El
Arisch, near the city, was devastated by the Arabs of
the Desert. The leading wish of the Christian popula-
tion of Syria was to be formed into an independent State,
under the nominal sovereignty of the Porte.
