effect to it, France is blotted ont of the mao of ti;eeope.
The Presse speaks more reasenahly :—" Tim affsirs of
the 'Beat may be stated in a few words: On the one
hand, England, Austria, Prussia, and R;I:i1:4 were *greed
in opinion that Mehemet Ali should confine his preten-
sions to the hereditary posse*sions of Egypt, wee' the
poasessiom for life of the title of Pacha of Acre, with the
command of the fortresses of St. Joan d'Acre aed the
administration of the southern part of Syria. Oa the
other part, France wished that more favourable con-
ditions should be offered to Mehemet Ali, and especially
that force should not be had recourse to in case of his
resistance. To that the Four Powers opposed the
following argument In this state of things there
remained to the Four Powers only this alternative :
Either to abandon the important affairs in which
they were embarked, to trust to chance for the future,
aed flees to manifest. their powerlessness, or to decide
to proceedestivneee co-operation of France.' Now
can- it seriously be maintained sleet the Four Powers
ought to abandon their opinion for this only rensoo,
that they could not succeed in making France share it ?
When was it first understood that the majority must
yield to the minority? When was a minority entitled
to believe, and to declare itself insulted, merely because
it could not force the majority to adopt its opinion ?"
This is the language of reason and common sense.
France had better at once lay claim to the universal
Monarchy which united Europe against Louis the Four-
teenth. England has borne with much from France.
The occupation of Algiers is a violation if an under-
standing entered into with this country. It is a wrong
to which England has submitted without being the less
sensible that it is a wrong. This is not the only griev-
ance of which we are entitled to complain. The inva-
sion of Spain by France, under the Duke n'Augoo-
lenie, was justly complained of by England. But it is
with nations as with individuals—much forbearance is
often necessary. In this cue, however, France has no
right to complain. She has so right to identify herself
with Mehemet Ali. The treaty of the 15th of July,
and the carrying of that treaty into effect, are not in-
juriotte to France. Her complaints are like the noise
of a froward child. A treaty was entered into without
her. Why was it entered into without her. but be-
cause she refused to enter into it? The resentment of
France, because the Four Powers agreed with the
Sultan to reduce a rebellious subject amounts really to
an:assertion of eupremscyover all Europe. Had the Four
Allies agreed to inflict some severe injury on France,
the language could not have been more indignant.
(From the Morning Advertiser.)

The election for Lord Mayor is over, and Toryism,
with its kindred ministers, falsehood, calumny, and hypo-
crisy, may shout in triumph. The trick of faction was
seen too late. The object, they think, is accomplished.
They have defeated Alderman Harmer, sad with his
gained the election of their partisans on the next 'tree-
sion as members for the City. They are mistaken.
Even as it is, Alderman Harmer has polled more votes
from among the Livery, than the four sitting Members
"did at the last fierce and desperate contest, while Alder-
man Pirie, the head candidate against Alderman
Harmer, is more than 200 lower than Mr. Horsley
Palmer. The votes among the Livery were, for
Wood, Grote, Crawford, and Psttison 2,263
Alderman Harmer
In this point of view, therefor., the Tories have gained
no victory, but rather sustained a loss. Again, as
to Alderman Harmer himself, it is quite clear, from
the numbers that have polled, that he otez-ht to be
considered as having the majority. Thera were three
candidates brought forward. It is not too much to
calculate that each had at least 500 personal friends.
Taking therefore Alderman Pixie's personal friends at
500, Johnson's at 500, and Harmer's! at 500, the elec-
tion would stand thus :—All Pixie's friends were in-
structed to pall, and with very few exceptions did poll,
for Johnson ; all Johnson's friends, with a similar ex-
ception, for Pirie ; thus, deducting from Pirie his 500
and Johnson his 500, it would leave of uninfluenced votes
for Pirie 1,741 ; for Johnson 1,713. Deducting in the
same way 500 from Harmer, his number would be 1,794,
giving him a majority over Pirie of 53, and over John-
son of 81. But this is not all. This election has been
gained chiefly by the quotation of certain offensive pas-
sages from the Weekly Dispatch, and the connection
with those passages of a certain letter signed " James
Harmer," in reply to the declaration of the Livery,
which boasted of the Dispatch aed its influence upon
public opinion. This letter has been advanced day by
day in the columns of the Times, Herald, Post,
Standard, and Courier ; and the first of these journals
asserted, that on the day it appeared, the " Declara-
tion," which was dying a lingering death, was sud-
denly signed by a greater number than en any previous
day. Now it turns out that this :otter, which has
lost Alderman Harmer his election, was not written
by him at all, but was printed and published without
his consent, or even knowledge ; and that when he did
see it, on coming from Ingress Abbey, he highly dis-
approved. of it ; yet such was his sense of honour—such
his kind consideration for all who intended to serve
Lim, that rather than be compelled to prove these
facts, tnd to injure even an injudicious friend, he lost
the elect ;n, and retired to private life. This is a
curious contrast to the affected secrecy of Alderman ,
Johnson, in covering with mystery his mere calling
eard, and then assuring his " dear friend," Alderman
Harmer, that he never would consent to serve against
him. There is a very prevalent opinion that Alderman
Harmer intends to resign his gown. We hope not ;at
all events the Livery should net permit him. It is
evident that the tide is rapidly turning in his favour.
It will turn more so when it is known that he has
sternly and steadily refused to be a party to any
means for dividing the voters of the opposing Aldermen,
by taking advantage of the fact, that one was a Church-
man and the other a distinguished Dissenter. He is
himself a Churchman, but a Churchman that would
rather heal the differences between the Church and the
Dissenters, than do anything for any personal purpose
that might bring them prominently or bitterly forward.
Many offers of money have been made to assist him
in his electiop, but they have been respectfully de-
clined. The parties, however, now talk of subscrib-
ing for him a piece of plate, commemorative of this
great struggle and of their attachment towards him,
and by presenting it, or giving him a dinner, on the
9th of November (Lord Mayor's day), to contrast the
real respect which true virtue and high-minded honour
receives, to the glitter and gewgaws of an ordinary
civic feast. The latter, we are persuaded, will soon
follow. Let but the citizens prevail upon Alderman
Harmer to retain his gown, and then no power. on
earth, or under it, can prevent, now that all the factt
are known, his return next year, in a more triumphans
and enthusiastic manner than any previous Lord Mayor.
(From the Morning Post.)
We can by no means agre with those Ministerial
writers who describe the formal deposition of Mehemet
Ali by the Sublime Porte, and the bombardment and
destruction of Beyrout, as "fortunate events." In any
case we think they must bee regarded as unfortunate,
and nothing but the actual necessity of circumstances
can render them justifiable. The commencement of
war, and especially of a war in which the leading Euro-
pean nations take sot only a great `but a rival interest,
is an exceedingly serious matter, which should not be
undertaken until all hope is gone of achieving the end in
view by other means. Another question in addition to
the justifiableness of the extremities which have been
j re-
sorted
to at Beyrout is that of their policy at this par-
t!cular time. If the Allies have determined that :hey
cannot settle the affairs of the East without the use of
force, they certainly should have been red with
force of the most decisive description, and which would
settle the affair with the least possible delay. ' Such
terference as will merely enable the Sultan to
carry ion;
the war against his rebellious vassal is neither
to the dignity of the Allies nor conducive to thulteable
inte-
rests of humanity. If the Sultan is to be assisted at
all, he should be assisted in sack a way as will enable him
speedily to end the war, and to establish his sovereignty
to the full extent which the Allies have resolved upon.
We can scarcely deem it possible that such peddling and
practically cruel policy as our Government pursued with
respect to the civil war in Spain is to be acted upon in Sy_
ria. That would be indeed disgraceful, and we regret that
the commencement of operations should have given any
ground for such an apprehension. A Ministerial journal
makes this kind of inadequate interference a ground of
compliment to the policy which has been pursued.
Prance is called upon to mark that we only give to
Syria the means of deciding whether she will rescue
herself !self from the usurpation of Mehemet Ali. France,
i'Lgaid, cannot object that the Syrians should choose
the

The ferment into which the French Minister; and
ileir press have been thrown by the easy success of
the operations against Beyrout curiously illustrates the
hypocrisy of their late clamour. A few days ago they
reclaimed against the quintuple treaty as impossible to
he carried into effect, without bringing the Russians to
Constantinople ; and as, therefore, nothing more than
a preliminary to investing the Czar with the Euro-
pean dominions of the Porte. Now, however, that
thry ;have be'ore them proof that the treaty
likely to be enforced without bringing the Russians
to Constantinople—according to all present appear-
ances, .without the advance of a single Russian
solder, even into Asia Minor—their fury is still
more inflamed. It is surely plain from this, that the
aleged fear of Russia was altogether a fallacy from
the first, and that the professed desire to protect in-
tegrity of the Ottoman empire was no less a fallacy.
There is now every rati,nal ground for supposing
that the people of Syria and the troops of the Sultan,
only aided by such naval coioperation as the Allies
afforl, and such as in principle France has sane-
Coned by the Spanish quadruple treaty, will be quite
sufficient to drive the rebel usurper beyond the Desert,
or, if the Porte choose to punish his crimes, to drive
him even from Egypt ; and supposing this to be effected.
what reason will the Government which affects a care
for the integrity of the Ottoman empire as necessary
to the balance of Europe, hate to complain
The Ottoman empire will not be less entire by the
recovery of the richest portion of its territory, or less
strong to resist Russia, if necessary, by vindicating justice
upon its rebel vassal. Nations arc not made more formid-
able to their neighbours by partition—" a word to the
wise," M. Tillers, it is said, threatens to resien if his
Sovereign and his colleagues will not treat the re-
duction of Beyrout, or at •the least of Acre, as a
casus Belli. We hope that by this time the red cross
and the crescent are waving in union over the walls of
Acre, as forty years ago they waved over these walls
to the mortification of that " child and champion"
of Jacobinism, of whom, after all, M. Thiers would be
the successor, if his pigmy stature of mind allowed him.
But still we doubt whether so wise a prince as Louis
Phillippe will treat such an event as an occasion for
plunging France in hostilities, and constituting him-
self the Lafayette, the Custinc, Daniourier, or Pi-
ehegru, of a state of anarchy, in which the least

EXTRAORDINARY BANKRUPTCY C(1-1)ASE.
—A singular and unprecedented bankruptcy case has
been going on for many weeks past, and is still proceed •
ing at Whiddon's Royal Hotel, Plymouth, be'ore three of
the Commissioners for that district. The bankrupt is a
Mr. Samuel Lyle, formerly engaged in extensive minion
transactions in Cornwall, and also connected with a Com-
pany row defunct, called the Tamar Smelting Company.
We understand he was made a bankrupt some time since,
his debts amounting to 3,0001. When the proceedings
first commenced Mr. Lyle sought refuge in Boulogne,
from wh'ch place he offered to pay his creditors 3s. in
the poutd. It was ascertained, however, that he I,id
carried vith him a sum of money to the amount of nearly
8,0001., )i which the greater part was in sovereigns, teed
of couras this offer ens at once rejected by the assignets.
Lately the bankrupt returned to England, and the
fiat against him was proceeded with, the Commissioners
and the attorneys for the t..signecs using every pes •
sible means to discover what bad been done with the
missing property. The bankrupt, and his brother, who is
a person of wealth, have offered we hear, to pay 20.5. in
the pound to stop proceeilit.gs, but to this the opposite
party viii not eminent. Three weeks since, the bankrupt,
at the termination of a very severe examination, late in the
evening, escaped from the hotel in his slippers, and being
just in time for the Exeter mail, proceeded on the top of it
to t' ^' city ; on reaching which he supped and slept at
the N.qe London Inn. Ile was itnine,,liately pursued
by tlee Plymouth Attorneys in a carriage and four,
who pat up at the same establishment. When the
morning' came both parties were en the alert, but Mr. Lyle

having time to pay his bill), by the side entrance of the
hotel, and directed his steps to the Bath toad. Here ha was
traced and followed for a considerable distance, but he still
eontrieed to keep his pursuers at fault, nod at length
reached Bristol, having been taken up .by one of the
coaches. The attorneys, /weever, were quick on his •
heels, snd from Bristol ha was chased to London, where
the pursuit became so hot that, we understand, ha only
left one particular house there, at the back door, about two
miuutes before his pursuers entered in at the front. From
that moment until Wednesday week nothing could be
heard of him, and it was supposed lie had effected his es..
cape to the Continent, but, by that day's past came an in-
timation to Plymouth, that the London police; in whose-
hands a warrant f .r his apprehension, signed by the eorntnis-
sioners, had been plae,td, had succeeded in making the do.
sired capture, and the following day Mr. Lyle was safely
lodged in the Devon county gaol. The case still proceeds.

The experience and example of the French nation
before the Revolution of 1798, seems to be thrown
away on the Parliament and on the aristocracy of
England. In France, at thts;; period, the noblesse
were exempted from payment of taxes, by law—and
the plebeian, or the labouring classes, paid the whole
of the taxes for the support of the Government in all
its extravagance. There then existed great profusion
and extravagance at the Court, and in the class of the
privileged noblesse ; .but, amongst the million,
misery, and wretchedness. At that time the public
prints often described the state and condition of the
people of France and of England as it then was in each
country. The French were exhibited in pictures as
half-starved creatures—almost sketetons, covered
with rags, with a dish of soup meagre before them
(meaning a up without meat), and some bread es
their daily fare, whilst the English John Bulls were
exhibited with full and rosy cheeks, round paunches ;
fat, sleek, and in good condition, with a beef-steak
or roast beef and plenty of beer before them, and
having sound and good clothing : and, we believe,
the description was pretty correct and well delineated.
In France the working classes were miserable ob-
jects, and looked upon with disdain by their
titled countrymen. In Ea:land the work' g
classes had enough or plain food for themselves at:a
families, and they were decently clothed, and bad the
bold and independent character then given of them.
England had redly a bold and happy working-class
when compared to the miserable and dependent people
of France. History affirms, and no person will deny,
that the people, driven to extremities by misrule,
brought on the revolution in France—the privileges ed
the heartless and tyrannical noblesse were abolished—the
laws were made equal, and applied equally to the rich
and to the poor—to all classes alike. After the revolu-
tion the taxes were levied on the property of the coun-
try, and the rights of man—equal laws and eqnel justice
—were established in France. Let :us ask wha . have
been the consequences of equal !ewe and equal justice
to all classes of men in France? The misrule and extra-
vagance of the Aristocracy and Court were put an end
to, and the working-classes, contributing their fair pro-
portion of service and of taxes for the support of the
State, received a fair reward for their labour, and have
become really hold and independent ; they are fat and
plump, with plenty of food to satisfy their •.vants—
with a comfortable home and . decent clothing—and
contentment, as compared with their condition before
the revolution, reigns in the land. Although the
French have not gained by the revolution all the be-
nefits they, in the hour of change, expected, they have
exchanged their squalid misery for plenty and comfort
—they have exchanged their rags far good clothing—
their wretched hovels for comfortable houses, and to
some millions of their dwellings small pieces of land and
gardens are attached, adding greatly to their comfort ;
and a state of high feeling and of pride in
their country exists. Let any stranger question
them on that point, and they will find that
the ancient pride of Old John Bull has taken full pos-
session of the people of the land of frogs. The " land
of frogs" was applied to France in derision, and in
compatison with the land of roast-')eef and plum-pu&
ding, which England was represented to be. Every •
Englishmen of feeling—of common humanity, must
mourn over the change that has taken place in this, his
own land. The bold and independent John Bull, with
11
his roast-beef and plum-pudding, is changed into a
miserable, discontented, half-led, half-clothed, and
broken-hearted. wretch, lingering out a miserable exist-
ence, and yielding to want and disease in hundreds and
thousands, under circumstances which make the really
Christian man shudder to contemplate. In 1789 France
was one garrison, with large military establislimepnetosptloe
keep down the working classes ; and the demand for
reforms and the correction of abuses made by the
to the Government ia those days was answered by
leaden bullets and the point of the bayonet. Now, the
working classes in France arc freemen—,they are..en-
rolled as national guards, and they on all oecasions.iiro-
, tent the Government and support order without pay or
allowunee. England in 1789 had scarcely ten thousand
soldiers, and these were considered chiefly necessary to
sapply her colonies with recruits and with reliefs : the
loyalty and attachment of the working classes were the
beet protectors of the peace and the best guardians of
the throne, At this time, Englishmen are literally dis-
arrned—Englaod is now one garrison, with 13rip
mili-
tary establishments to keep down the working classes
(and, in some counties, the richer closes of the people
are armed to assist the military to keep the people
down), and the demand for reform in these our days is
answered by leaden bullets end by the paint of the
bayonet Is not this a true account of the state of
England—if we add, with the prisons filled by hundreds
of men whose faults were, to demand such reforms in
the institutions of the country as the Ministers formerly
stated were necessary to put an end to misrule, and to
afford equal justice to all classes in the country ? It
is to be regretted that the violence of sonic of the
reformers, smarting perhaps under an acute sense of
the injustice heaped upon the people in this land, and •
of the misery and crime which have resulted from that
injustice, should have given, by violent language, a co-
lour, and afforded some pretence for the use of military,
and for the extensive prosecutions and severe punish-
ments which have been carried out by the present Whig
Government. Will any man look at that picture at-
tentively, and say whether there is not real danger to the
peace of the country ? Will any mr,n guarantee that
suffering so intense, and misery so extensive—that dis-
content so loud, and complaints so general, can con-
tinue long without producing, as all former history tells
us, the most lamentable consequences?
We ask, then, what has changed the discontented
and miserable France of 1789 into happy and contented
France of 1810 ?. What has changed tilt happy and
contented England of 1789 into the miserable and dis-
contented England of 1840 ? We answer that unjust
privileges to the few—to a privileged aristocracy, have
produced misgovernment, and hence the melancholy
change we have pointed out is the result.
We; add that the barbarous bread.tax, by plundering
and impoverishing the millions of honest and industrious
classes, to enrich the already wealthy aristocracy, has
been mainly instrumental to produce this change ; and
we, therefore, appeal to the Crown and to its Ministers
to repeal these unjust laws which starve the millions
and reduce them to a condition more wretched than the
working classes in any kingdom in Europe. We say
repeal the Corn-laws, and do equal justice to all men-
or take the consequences.—Monchester Times.

" But how cmcs it that M. Thiers has committed so
many blunders in the Eastern question ?"
" Why," replied my informer jocosely, " he would
do without his bonne. All his blunders have been com-
mitted in the absence of his mother-in-law. He had
been too much reproached with doing nothing without
her advice,"

daughter of a respectable clothier of Faubourg Mont-
mania,. The lady-, who thinks that the Foreign Mi-
nister's mansion in the Rue des Capucines, which the
Countess Mole and Marcella! Duchess de Dalmatie
considered a very suitable residence, is not sumptu-
ously enough furnished for her, sat, in her first
youth, behind the counter where her mother
kept a draper's books. When she was of
an age to be married, she was married to
a lad who had learnt Exchange and Bourse
operations in a banking-house. This husband, M,
Dosne, obtained, by the favour of the Duchess d'An-
gonleme, an office of stockbroker. He received com-
pany, his wife did the honours of his house, chatted
about the novel of the day, and trot invitt:d by some
journalists to the political solemnities of the times. This
was under the Restoration. She wished to be admit-
ted to the Faubourg Sr. Germ.,in, but was repulsed.
She became ferocious against the old Nobility, and
hoisted at home the standani of Liberalism. Whoever
wrote in the Liberal journals the slightest enthusiastic
tribute to Foy or Benjamin Constant was sure to be
well received at her house. It was towards that period
that the author of L'llistoire de la Revolution ' was
introduced to her. So much affection was entertained
for him that he was soon treated a rami de la maison,
and at length considered as one of the family. The
Revolution of 1833 opened to the friend the career of
honour's and fortune. He availed himself of his influ-
ence to have the Recette Generale of Lille bestowed
upon l'amie's husband, and that the Lord alone knows
by what rouerie ! Monsieur and Madame Dosne had two
daughters. As soon as the eldest was fifteen years of
age she was mar:ied to M. Thiers, then Minister of Com.. !
