ries off the heads of our fellow-citizens. Our misfortunes
accumulated and aggravated•by a culpable want of fore-
sight, and by the successive and inexplicable abandonment
of all moans, of protection and alt the elements of power,
have brought the colony and the French dominion in Africa
to the brink of ruin."

Tue lifesaver, a Ministerial Paper, contains the
subjoined account of the destination of the French Em-
bassy in Persia
A Russian courier, which left ITahan on the sth of
May, brings news from our embassy in Persia. At that
date, Count de Sercey, who continued to be received with
the most marked favour and the highest distinction at the
Shah%o Court, was preparing to return to France by way
of Bagdad, Mossul, and Alexandria. The Marquis de la
Valette had left lspahan in th latter end of April, with
despatches for France, and was to have followed the
line of road which was taken by the embassy when pre.
cerding to the Shah's residence. Count Daru and
Count de Beaufort were to leave M. de Sercey on the
7th of Mav, in order to explore some points in the in.
tenor of Persia."

M. EUGENE BORE, a French ecclesiastic who accom-
panied the Ambassador, has addressed a letter to the
Univers, from the suburbs of Ispahan, dated the 7th of
April, giving an account of the preparations made for
the reception of the Embassy by the SHAH and his
Court, which was fixed for the Stb. M. BORE, who,
with the Marquis DE LA VALETTE, first Secretary of
the Embassy, arrived in Ispahan before the Ambas-
sador, had the honour to be admitted to the presence of
the SHAH, who received him most graciously, and pro-
mised the restoration of property formerly belonging to
religious orders established at Ispahan. The Ambas•
sailor and his suite were all to be adorned with the
Order of the " Lion and Sun."

A letter from Saragossa of the 23d ult., in the Phare
of Bayonne says•--•• 'l:tie Queens with their suite set ou
early yesterday morning for Barcelona. Their M j:•stie
must have bet n much fatigued, as the populace did no•
allow them a moment's repose. The Queen-Regent re•
mained till two in the morning on the balcony of her hotel.
to view the aquatic fete in front of it; and at four her Ms

greatly from the heat, that they were obliged to stop at

common yenta to get some water."
THE TURKI,H MINISTRY —The Austrian Observer of
the 22J ult. gives the following as the eon Fos:tion of the

Commerce, Fethi Ahmed Pacha, formerly ambassador at
Vienna, Paris, and London, and the intended brother-in-
law .of the Sultan; Seraskier of the armies, Mustavha

The following letter nubaished by the Franconian Mer-
cury, seems to us to merit pa ticular attenlion :
" CRACOW, JUNE 18.—We expect with the greatest im.
patience the answer to the address sent to England. We
hope that, thanks to the English interventioi, the occupl-
tion of the city by for,ifin iroi,ps will ccspe, This may,
indeed, be a.vain hope; for already, in 1836. Lord Pal-
merston said it would be nect,ssaiy to send hither an Eng.
Consul, who might repair vouch mischief by his influ-
ence; but no such aomintment has yet taken place. In
future the interests of commerce may induce the Live
Lord to realise his wish. We expect nothing from France.
A general gloom prevails here, tut the rich do not express
their opinions, and the people seek consolation in religion."
Thus people everywhere accustom themselves to place
no reliance on France.--Le Commerce.

HYMNOLOGY;
OR, HOW TO PRODUCE SLEEP.

" Mr. Gardener, the Hypnologist, begs to say that he
baa discovcred a system for producing a sound and refresh-
ing sleep ; and has no ',course to hypnotic medicines ; and
has nothing to do with animal magnetism, or anything in-
juriotia."— Vide Advertisement in Morning Chronicle.

Mr. G., the fl)pnologist, pre.,ents
To the sleeplea public his compliments,
And begs to assure them he's found a way
To scare by night, or even by day,
The emmon of wakefulness away;
lie uses no laudanum drugs—not he 1—

And scorns to resort to quackery;
But adopts such a simple and natural course,
As must cause immediate repose, perforce,
And shut up each patient's rost!ess peepers,
Ai cl6itly as those of the Saco Sitepers.

His system is this--'n the earliest stage
He prescribes, as a soothing draught, a page
Of those party pamphlets, to bigotry de .r,
Inflicted by Exeter once a year ;
' Should this safe anodyne fail to correct
The disease, and produce the di-sired (T -et,
Why, then, he prescribzs a three hour's reading
Of Sugdeti's Treatise on Special Pleading,
Or .a.passurrior two, that one yawns to rw.ntion.
• -.7 ',Front Inglis's speeches on Church Esti,usion,
..•, .Etoth which, ler their substance heavy and dead,
And their lulling:cif...et* on the pa,ier.t's head,

Are, decidedly worth their weight' in lead.
But when—Oh most afflicting state !
The patient's case is desperate,
Mr. G., as his long experience teaches,
Advises a dose of Graham's speeches,
A drug so potent, albeit so stale,
That it never vet has been known to fail,
And combines, in a way he can't describe,
The virtues of all the poppy tribe—
Should this strong remedy not succeed,
The patient's case must be bad indeed!

stall, they took a cup and saucer from him and broke it be-
fore his face, at the time taunting and deriding him ; they
