LONDON:
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1840.

A somewhat curious statement appears in the
Univers, which, though inserted in the Times,
does not appear to have attracted the attention of
the gentleman who usually does the diatribes about
the insufficiency of our Navy, and the superiority
of that of France. He has laboured most assi-
duously for some time to convince the public that
they ought to be dreadfully alarmed at the small-
ness of our fleet, and, indulging in the exaggera-
tion, of which fear is generally the parent, he has
magnified the resources of France, and diminished
those of England, much beyond the truth. If he
had been as ready to quell as to arouse the public
fears, he would have taken care to comment on the
statement of the Univers, that Admiral RousslN,
the late French Minister of Marine, was opposed to
war on account of the unsatisfactory nature of .the
French maritine appointments. France is not pre-
pared, it is said, for a two years' war. Her dockyards

are only half supplied with timber ; her forests are

scarce of large trees ; and it would take a consider-
able time, and be a work of great difficulty, to get a
supply. The whole of the article of the Univers
is inserted in The Sun, and will show our readers

that at least there are croakers in France as well as

in England.
The promptitude with which ships have been
lately brought forward, and the facility with
which they procured men—far greater than was ex-

petted—ought to convince the public that our

means of naval warfare, whether offensive or &fen-

sire, may be fully relied on. Since the additional
sum was voted for the Navy in 1836, the greatest
care has been taken to procure an ample supply o
all the materials for ship building, and no want o
timber is felt in her MAJESTY'S dockyards.
The building of war steamers has been inces
sant ; and, in addition to those we already have
afloat, six of the best and largest description, at
the rate of one a month, will be ready for service
by the month of May, even should the continuance
of peace not make further exertions necessary.
Contracts, we believe, have been entered into with
steam-engine manufacturers, to have that number
of engines completed by the time we have men-
tioned. We learn, however, from a Correspondent
of the Times, that at the manufactory of marine
steam-engines at Indret, they at present cannot
produce larger steam-engines than 250-horse
power ; but arrangements are making to enable
them, by and bye, to manufacture a dozen 450-
horse power engines in a year. Why, if there
were a necessity for it, fifty such engines would be
procured by our Government in a month in Eng-
land. Even, if we were threatened with an imme-
diate war, and happily the apprehensions of it are
every day dissipating, England is in a far better
state of preparation than France, and has within her,
which France has not, the means of increasing her
steam men-of-war, to an indefinite extent.
We begin to look out for an attack in the Times
on the Minto Board, for « its gigantic extrava-
gance." Our Contemporary always succeeds best
by variety. He knows so well what are the
arguments which he has lately used, t
he can easily refute them, and be just as
quent against Whig extravagance, and a wr

a thunder-bolt against foolish preparations " and
unnecessary expenditure." We are not sure that
on such a topic, particularly after tits- alarm has
passed away, it would not find more, supporters
amongst the tax-hating people than It finds when
it urges to expenditure and mighty,,, preparations
for war. We do not suppose, however, that the
Admiralty will be hastened by its tirades into the
expenditure of a single sixpence more than it
would expend if there were no Times in existence,
because it must be assured that the Times only
seeks to degrade and betray it. In the main, how-
ever, the public are admirers of the economy which
spares their pockets, and will be more ready to find
"cult with unnecessary expenditure than unnecessary

The Eastern question, like every other political
question which for an instant, in the age of a great
nation, engrosses popular attention, has given birth
to numerous pamphlets, in which those who have
more to say than can be said in an after-dinner
speech, or the spare column of a county newspaper,
give to politicians and statesmen the fruits of their
cogitations and experience on the past, passing, and
future phases of (Mental policy. Among these
ephemeral productions, one by Mr. WILLIAM
CARGILL, of Newcastle—one of Mr. URQU-
HART'S fellow-labourers—merits attention, as well
for the talent with which it is written, as for the
perverse ingenuity with Which the writer endeavours
to impute a degree of blame, disgraceful in a patriot,
and most short-sighted in a statesman, to Lord
PALMERSTON. Mr. CARGILL is furious at the
presumed rupture between England and France ;
' but we have looked in vain through his
pamphlet to discover in what way he
would have effectually prevented it. His is
not the erroneous common-place opinion, craftily
inculcated by Russia, that the question should have
been left where it stood after the battles of Koniah
and Nezib, as the VICEROY had no design upon
the integrity of Turkey. Mr. CARGILL traces the
treason of the PACHA to its proper source, and
admits, by implication, that had its operation not
been prevented, Turkey must have succumbed to
the dominion of the CZAR. " The connection
between the PACHA of Egypt and the Cabinet of
St. Petersburgh," he truly observes, " is a truth
so well known, that to every one acquainted with
the East it is superfluous to dwell upon it. The
object of Russia is to weaken and dismember the
Ottoman Empire. There is no way of doing this
so effectual as to raise rebellions in provinces,

which has the effect of spreading general insecurity

—curtailing the extent of the empire, and making in-
to inveterate enemies the provinces which have thrown
off their allegiance. Russia and MEHEMET ALI
were therefore, from their position, bound by a
common interest in their hostility to the SULTAN,
an union which must be overwhelming if the nations
of Europe had no interest in preventing its conse-

quences. Russia could not openly support the
PACHA without declaring war against Europe ; it
was therefore hei interest to keep the wound open,
to protract the quarrel, to increase the discord, to
disguise her policy, and gain time for bringing about
the opportunity to effect her purposes. It was the

interest of Europe, but most especially of England
and France, to heal the wound, or rather to pre-
vent, if possible, those seeds of discord taking root,
which must bear consequences disastrous to the

strength of Turkey and the common peace. It was
their paramount duty to anticipate and prevent any
foreign interference in the internal affairs of other
States ; but when they clearly saw that the Cabinet,
against whose designs alone the Ottoman empire
had to be maintained in its integrity, was actively

maturing plans for convulsion and dismemberment,
it became a criminal betrayal of their trust to refrain
from using immediate means to render the evil impos-
sible." And in the page immediately succeeding, he
continues, in the same strain---" It was the agents of
Russia herself that propagated the falsehood of
MEHEMET being secretly encouraged by the
SULTAN, and they also used their efforts to raise
the impression that France and England did the
same, that the army of IBRAHIM PACIIA might
be a check on the ambitious interference of the

Russian Cabinet at Constantinople. The position
of IBRAHIM was so perilous, and the prospects of
the success of his efforts to insurrectionise Syria
so small, that he would have been quickly crushed
by MAHMOUD had he only to rely on his own re-
sources; but the Syrians, buoyed up with the
hope of finding resistance to Russia, a vast pro-
portion of the population declared enthusiastically
for the vassal, who only undeceived them when he
overthrew the SULTAN'S army at Koniah, and
threatened an attack on Constantinople in 1832.

danger from Russia on one side, and fi om ME-

Adrianople ; and in the perfect conviction that the
rebellion of his vassal was encouraged, and di-
rected against him by the hand of his never-sleep-
ing foe at St. Petersburgb, appealed to England for
assistance. \Vas not this the time—eight years
ago— for England to interpose, if interposition
there was to be ? This was the time when one
word from the British Cabinet would have destroyed
the possibility of any danger to the SULTAN from
MEHEMET ALI, and the still greater danger to
him (and to Europe) of Russian protection.
And this forms the burden of Mr. CARGILL'S
complaint from beginning to end—the eight years
lost in the non-reduction of MEHEMET ALI to a
simpleand submissive Pacha of the Ottoman empires
and which he contends Lord PAT,MERSTON COUld
have effected by a word, which it was treason against
his country not to have spoken. Nov we happen to
wrd"
know what Lord PALMERSTON'S " SiMpleo
11 was worth with the PACHA in 1838, when his
Lordship advised the renunciation of Syria; and if
the Cabinet in 1832 was not in a condition to
support words with broadsides from the woode"
walls of old England, we are grateful to Lord
PALMERSTON for having saved his country the
disgrace of having his threats set at defiance. Mr;
