who aid in forcing on such a war, and who now
are almost as influential as statesmen, who call
themselves, and perhaps with justice, the cafe, and
leaders of society, will be fully as much to blame
as the statesmen ; and as long as their names are re-
membered, they will be spoken of with detestation.
We make an appeal to our continental brethren,
for their honour and the honour of humanity.
England, rich in maritime resources, has nothing
to fear, but her people cherish peace as the means
of human happiness and human improvement.
War is but another name for destruction. It corn-
prises within itself all possible crimes, and is a
disgrace to civilised man.
The Paris Papers contain much discussion,
but very little news. LOUIS PHILIPPE and his
Ministers take a great interest in the fortifica-
tions of Paris, and have ridden out to inspect the
proposed line in the vicinity of the Bois de Bou
logne and Neuillv. Louts PHILIPPE'S ordinary
residence, therefore, is to be the first point secured.
It has occurred to us to remind our neighbours that
for the sum they are about to expend in fortifying
Paris they might make railroads, abutting on Paris,
to every part of the kingdom, and thus, for the
same sum, provide the means of bringing the whole
army of France, if necessary, to the Capital for its
defence in a few hours, besides facilitating commerce
and furnishing those means of communication which
are the life-blood of improvement. To sacrifice the
interest of France for many years to the crotchet of
fortifying Paris_ when improvements in science
may make the walls no means of defence, is paying
an enormous price for a Royal whistle.
The Ministerial Papers positively contradict the
assertion of the Univers, mentioned in The Sun
of yesterday, that a misunderstanding existed be-
tween M. THIERS and M. GUIZOT on the subject
of the Eastern Question.

The illoniteur announces from Algiers, Sept.
12, that Colonel LEVASSEUR attacked the troops
Of ADD-EL-HAVER at Medzergah, before Setif.
His battalion of regulars was routed, and lost its
colours. 115 dead bodies remained on the field,
and the enemy had a great number r•ouuded. The
French lost 5 killed and 21 wounded.

These papers contain a report that the States on
the German side of the Rhine are beginning to
arm, and Austria is compelled to imitate France.
We give one short extract only, conceiving that the
discussions of our Paris Contemporaries cannot be
of much interest to our readers :
The Count De Paris has been seriously indisposed,
but is pronounced to be out of danger.
PAats, SEPT. '2o,—The Government has contracted
for the purchase of 17,000 horses for remounting the
cavalry : 5,000 are to be delivered at Hagenau, 4,000
at Dunkirk, and 8,000 at St. Avoid.
Burin Pretet, director of the fortifications at Besancon,
has received orders to put all the fortresses under his
direction in a state of defence.

The Director of the engineer's department at Bcfort
has received orders to have the Castle of Montbeliard
repaired.
The Coin qer del Isere, of the 17th of September,
says :—" A battery of artillery is to arrive at Grenoble
in a few days. The works in our arsenal arc prosecuted
with great diligence. The ramparts of Grenoble will
soon he finished, with 130 pieces of artillery.,—Le Con-
ititutionnel, Sept. 21.

REGISTRATIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY OF LONDON.

Mr. MYLNE this day revisedtlT:housebolders, lists
for the parishes of St. Botolph, Aldgate ; Allhallows,
Honey-lane ; Bridewell Precinct, Christ-church,
.St.
Christopher ; St. Clement, Eastcheap ; St. Drums
Backchureh ; and St. Dunstan's-in-the-East. In the
parish of St. Botolph, Aldgate, there were thirty Libe-
ral claims made by occupiers of houses in Ebenezer-
square, Honey-lane, Sarah-place, and AngeLeourt.
These names had never previously been on the list of
voters. The houses, it appears, arc rented at ss. a
week. Fifteen of these claims were admitted, one was
disallowel, and the remainder were postponed, in order
to provide further evidence as to the residence, and as
to the payment of rates.

Mr. Baylis, Clerk to the City of London Union,
claimed to be placed on the list of voters as a house-
holder. He lives in the house which is used by the
Guardians as place of business, and in which there is an
office for the use of the relieving officer ; he pays a rent
of 35/. per annum to the Guardians, for which no receipt
is given, but which is regularly entered in the accounts.
He is also rated.

Mr. QuiN, the Conservative agent, contended aat
the petition ought not to be admitted, inasmuch as Mr.
Baylis merely occupied the house as the servant of. the

Guardians.

Mr. MYLNE considered that he occupied the house
as tenant, and could not be turned out %vithout the usual
He should therefore admit the claim.
