month spent in preparations, when all eyes will
be turned towards the doctor and his patient.
He will commence, as all. good doctors do, by
feeling her pulse, inquiring minutely into the
nature of her disease, the regimen prescribed by
the old doctors, and the quantity of blood let to
reduce the plethora with Which, according to the
opinion of one of his assistants, she was sadly
afflicted years ago, and having ascertained all• the
symptoms he will in a solemn tone address the
wondering bystanders—" Gentlemen, this is a
grievous case—the patient has been wofully mis-
managed ; originally possessing a constitution
full of health and vigour, she has been brought
to death's door by the quacks I have just turned
out; her case requires mature deliberation; a
consultation of the whole faculty must forthwith
be held, and in the meantime nothing can save
her but repose." Having given this advice he
pockets his fee, enjoins all Radicals and Re-
pealers not to disturb her on pain of imprison-
ment, and adjourns the operation for two months.
His coadjutors and the majority of the spectators
express their admiration in loud shouts, and thus
ends the scene. Dropping the metaphorical lan-
guage, which, indeed, is PEEL'S own, the country
gentleman will cordially concur in such a plan,
they will fly off in all directions to shoot par-
tridges and pheasants, careless of the stagnation
of trade and the cries of the hungry for bread.
The country, however, will not remain in repose,
the evil requires a speedy remedy ; and before
Sir R. PEEL meets Parliament again in Novem-
ber, or perhaps January, he will find that his
remedy has only given additional virulence to
the disease.

From the extreme degree of rancour with
which the Tory writers now attack the foreign
policy of Lord PALMERSTON, it would seem that
England only awaits the appearance in Downing-
street of the PEEL Cabinet to cut a quite new figure
in the councils of Europe. The Times discovers
that France has been scurvily treated, and that
the wresting of Syria from MEHEMET ALI, and
I e storing it to the Porte, has ruined the moral
influence of the SULTAN, and accelerated the
downfal of the Ottoman empire; the Herald agrees
with a section of the French press that the war
in China is neither more nor less than an expe-
dition to murder an innocent, unresisting people,
because they have the virtue to refuse being
poisoned; and all the time the Whigs have been
in office the Post has been waging an unsuccessful
war with Lord PALMERSTON in defence of
Carlism in Spain, Miguelism in Portugal, and Ab-
solutism everywhere. It is rather late in the
day either to attack or to defend the foreign
policy of Lord PALMERSTON. Its unexampled
success in every part of the world is an answer to
everything that Tory malignity can urge against
it. If any other be wanted, we have only to turn
back to the Times' able defence of the Treaty of
the 15th of July in reply to the attacks of the
organs of M. THIERS. All we care to learn is the
extent of the changes in the foreign policy which
the Tories meditate. Are our Ambassadors to be
recalled from the Courts of Donna MARIA and
ISABELLA 11., in order that Mr. PETER BORTH-
WICK may represent the majesty of Great Bri-
tain at the grated Palace of Don CARLOS, and
that Mr. MACLEAN may display his diplomatic
abilities at the sylvan retreat of the amiable Mi-
G UEL ? Will the Tories, to restore the dominion of

the SULTAN in the East, so endangered by the in-
terference of Lord PALMERSTON, re-establish the
sway of the Viceroy of EGYPT over Syria and
Candia, and re- concede to Russia the guardian-
ship of the Straits of the Dardanelles and Bos-
phorus ? Will they attempt the re-union of
Belgium and Holland ? To conciliate France they
cannot surely do less than recognise the conquests
of the CITIZEN KING in Africa, and even treat
with Spain for the cession to our Gallic neigh-
bours of the Balearic Isles, in order that they
may hereafter prove more than a match for us
in the Mediterranean. The latter, of course,
will be on the JOHN BULL principle of fair play,
that as we beat them before in these waters they
have a right to beat us in return.

Whatever sins of omission or commission the
Whigs have to answer for on quitting offi 3e
—and GOD knows they are pretty numerous—
fewer flaws will be found in their foreign policy
than in that of any other Administration which
has held office in England for the last three-
quarters of a century. They have preserved the
peace of Europe, without compromising the na-
tional dignity, under circumstances which would
have served a Tory Government to add another
hundred millions of war expenses to the public
debt. In no instance has Lord PALMERSTON
sacrificed the sacred rights of humanity to any
consideration whatever; for in all treaties entered
into by him with foreign States, we invariably
find that the suppression of the slave trade
holds a paramount place. Our influence abroad
was never greater than it is at present, because
never based upon a stronger conviction of our
disinterestedcess. If we have meddled a good
deal iu the concerns of our neighbours, we have
taken ample care to satisfy them that we sought
no exclusive benefit for ourselves. Portugal and
Spain have gained much,without losing anything,
by our interference. We have demanded no-
thing from the Porte for reducing MERE..
MET ALI from the rank of conqueror to
the legitimate dimensions of a vassal of the
empire. In China we are as yet the
losers, whatever we may prove in the end ; and
if we have revolutionized thrones in Central Asia
we have thereby contributed more to the peace
and prosperity of these countries than to our own
immediate aggrandizement. Not that the nation
has not been greatly benefited by this policy.
Far otherwise. But the benefits which accrued
to England were such as resulted from increased
confidence in British justice, and such as must
ever result to commercial nations having an
equal regard to their own honour and the rights
of others.

force. It may keep down aetioth but it cannot command
the mind.

From the present state of the receusernent, it may
be predicted that the result will be above 400,000 houses,
which have hitherto escaped the tax.—Le Temps.
Yesterday, in the same street, the residence of M.
Rothschild was illuminated with a festoon of lamps ;
close to it the hotel of M. Laffitte was in darkness.
There is an entire history in the comparison.—Gazette de
France.

"We have received the following letter from Oran,
dated the 18th inst.:—" 'We have received accounts
from our expeditionary columns, which are still occu-
pied with foraging amidst the rich harvests of the large
tribes. The damage sustained by the Arabs in this
campaign is enormous for them, and in the memory of
man the country had never suffered so much from the
war. Their loss in barley alone is estimated at 300,000
boudjous of If. 86c. each. The column of General de
Lamoriciere is to return soon. It has had to sustain
several rather serious engagements. Our troops are
much fatigued, and the heat is almost intolerable. Prompt
measures must be taken to secure the comforts of
the soldiers during this forced rest, for the transition from
so active a life to absolute rest is always attended, par-
ticulary in this country, with serious diseases. The
Arabs have appeared in great numbers near Mostagaren
and Arzew, and have attempted to carry off the flocks
of the Government, after having failed in their attempts
upon our out-posts. The intentions of the Governor- Gene-
ral have pretty well transpired, and our divisions are
not to begin their campaign for the province of Tlemcen,
before the end of September or the beginning of October.
The chiefs have attempted to renew negotiations with
the Marabout Tedgein, and wished, as during last winter,
to proclaim him Sultan ; but this chief, intimidated by
the menaces of Adel Rader, and by the remembrance of
the seige which he caused the town to sustain in 1838,
would not accept these propositions, and has left among
the regular troops of the Emir, the 400 infantry whom
he sent to him in April.—Le Constitutionnel.
The Commerce says :—" There was yesterday a
marked rise in the prices of the stocks. This was ex-
plained by an asserted resolution taken by M. Humann,
to meet the Chambers without making use of the power
with which be is invested of raising a loan. It was
added that, in order to prove he was not in want of
money, the Minister of Finances had announced his in-
tention of reducing the interest on Treasury Bills from
4to 31 per cent. Other persons accounted for the rise
by the perfect quietness with which the anniversary of
the fetes of July has been celebrated.
The German Journalof Frankfort gives the follow-
ing from Vienna:—" It was stated some time ago that
Don Carlos had obtained passports from M. Guizot, and
that after a short sojourn in Italy he would go to Sals-
burg, to fix his residence there. The Prince was to
come here and present himself at Court. It is now said
that the French Government has raised new difficulties,
and demands either the abdication of the Prince, or the
recognition of Queen Isabella by the powers of the
North."

As the diligence of Laffitte, Caillard, and Co., was,
the night before last, arriving in Paris from Besqincon, it
got the wheels on one side upon a mound of earth, near the
foot pavement, on the Quai de la Tournelle, above the Pont
de la l'Archeveche, which had been left without any lamps,
and it was upset with such force that seven persons were
dangerously injured, three of whom, the conductor, a
father, and his child, still lie in almost a hopeless state.
An officer of the Octroi, who got upon the coach at the
Barrier, bad his thigh broken.
The Univers states that the Pope has conferred on
the Hon. James Talbot, second son of the Baroness Talbot
de Malahide, and on his descendants male the dignity of
Count of the Sacred Palace of the Lateran.
The manufactories of Beaucaire are represented by
the Courrier du Gard to be in a very flourishing state.
The silk and cotton works, and indeed all articles of the
department, are in great request, and at good prices,
and there is every appearance of an increased demand
for the winter. The cloths, linens, and other manufac-
tures of Rheims and St. Quentin are also in the same
promising condition.
The King of Bavaria has issued a decree, that in
all prisons and houses of correction Roman Catholic pri-
soners shall be kept perfectly separated from Protes-
tants ; and Catholics, condemned to hard labour in for-
tresses, shall be sent to those of Marienberg, Ober-
haus, and Rossenberg, while Protestants are to go to
Wurtzburg.
A fire took place on Thursday morning at the
house of a manufacturer of chemical matches, on the
Boulevard Longchamp, from the explosion of the fulmi-
nating powder employed in making the matches. The
fire was soon got under, but all the windows of the ma-
nufactory were broken by the explosion, and the owner
of it wasAmuch burnt in the face, hands, and arms.
The King, upon the recommendation of the Minis-
ter of Public Instruction, has issued a Royal Ordon-
nance, creating for the College de France, professorships
for the languages and literature of Germanic origin, and
also for those of Southern Europe. Other Ordonnances
appoint Dr. Philarete Chasles, of the Faculty of Paris,
to the first of the above chairs, and Dr. Edgard Quinet,
Professor of Foreign Literature at Lyons, to the second.
Extract of a letter from Leghorn of the 24th in-
stant :—" The earthquake felt at Marseilles on the 22d
was not confined to that city. A slight shock or two
was felt here in Leghorn, to the no little alarm of the
inhabitants. The French corvette Grenadier arrived in
port yesterday. She will remain two years on station.
The town is very full of strangers, being the bathing
season, but the severe illness of the Grand Duke's eldest
son and daughter puts a, damp upon the usual gaiety,
There are no hopes entertained of the latter child, as she
is in a rapid decline."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

'We have received news from Paris of yesterday's date.
The French journals of Sunday are for the most part oc-
cupied with Sir R. PEEL'S speech at the Tamworth
dinner. The Journal des Debats is the only paper of
a Liberal stamp in which the oration of the Right Hon.
Baronet is not turned into complete ridicule.
M. Arzac, the ex-Mayor of Toulouse, has, it is said,
been arrested by order of the new Commissioner, but
the Government papers do not confirm this news.
Our Madrid letters announce the reception of Queen
Christina's protest at Madrid. It excited great sensa-
tion, and Mr. Aston was sent for to the Palace.
The Cunstitutionnel states that M. HUMANS has pro-
posed in the Council to reduce the Budget of 1843 to the
level of the estimated reveuue for that year. This would
enable the French Government to reduce considerably
its army and navy.

A German paper of the 29th contains a protest drawn
up by the Second Chamber of the Hanoverian States
against the late Royal decree, proclaiming their disso-
lution.

The Paris funds are dull. Three per Cents., liquida-
tion, 76f. 90c. ; end of August, 77f. 10c.
