[TII E Thus.]
The victory over the Ashantees imparts a
milled feeling of pain and pleasure. We rejoice
at our suvcess, if we may esteem that at decisive;
but" Pare, reticle legionce" occurs to us at every
moment ; the present success will not nullify our
lett disaster under Sir Charles M'Carthy.
dern phraseology speaks of the relations of peace
and war. From the first, no doubt, great ad-
vantage may result to both the contracting
-powers ; and the habits of civilized life, and the
introduction of Christianity, has smoothed even
the asperities of the latter, and taught men to im-
pose bounds to the system of destroying each
other. play the savage race with whom we are
unhappily engaged in hostilities, together with
onr arts of war, learn also our methods of conci-
liation, and our benevolent practice of sparing
those who fall into our power. Even war then
-will not be without its uses. Sir Charles M'Carthy
mils certainly mistaken, both respecting the phy-
sical and moral powers of the people with whom
he had to do; but he was a brave man, and he
paid the penalty of his misapprehension with his
life. The last has not been a bloodless victory,
for fire linndred men are said to have fallen on
our side. But we must conquer. And let us
convert our ultimate conquest into a means of
civilization.

We have received the Doile of Thursday
morning, with the Exchange Lists of the pre.
ceding day, and other Papers. The Relays con.
tinue above 101 25, and for account at 101 45.
The private accounts of the entry of King
Charles into Paris describe his reception by the
people in terms still more enthusiastic than the
public journals. His Majesty decidedly possesses
a remarkable popularity. Various circumstances
of his benevolent attention to the lower classes of
people are mentioned : in particular the fair of
Sc. Cloud having been prevented by the illness
and death of the late Monarch, King Charles has
given to all the little keepers of stalls double the
amount of their estimated profits. Another
Council of Ministers had been held, at which
the Dauphin assisted. It seems to be resolved
by the King, that his Royal Highness shall be
thus initiated into the business of the State.—
The entire harmony subsisting between Fa.
ther and Son is calculated to produce on
the French people a most favourable im-
pression. These papers contain contradicts.
ry accounts of the state of things in Greece ;
but, upon the whole, they afford some reason to
believe that the Greek fleet has obtained some
advantage (though to what extent it is impossible
to say) over that of the Turks. Private accounts
state that M. nurtado, the Colombian Envoy, is
about to return to this country from France, and
this circumstance has given rise to a report that
the French Government had hastened his de-
parture. We believe there is no truth in this as-
sertion ; but it is now golerally understood that
his visit to that county was entirely occasioned
by private business, and not by any political ne•
gocintion, much less an i►►vitation by the French
Government.

[MORNING POST.)
An extraordinary Express brought us last night
French Papers to the Ist inst. Their contents
are most gratifying, for they prove that France
at lest possefiies n Monarch who respects her
institutions. It is true that Louis XVIII. gave
bar the Charter, but almost every subsequent act
of his reign tended to curtail its powers or to sus-
pend their exercise. Charles X. on the contrary,
nui sooner mounted the throne than he repeated
thi? oath which he had taken to the Charter, and
voluntarily pledged himself to employ the whole
power which he had inherited " in consolidating
the grand net which he had promised to main-
tain." This pledge, to a great extent, is already
redeemed. The suspension of the 'Liberty of the
Press was one of the most flagrant and recent
violations of the Charter : that suspension no
longer exists. I)y at Ordonnance dated the 9th
of September, and published in the illoniteur of the
30th, the Censorship of the Press is abolished, and
th 6 new King commits himself and the measures
of his Government to the free discusson of all his
subjects. This is not only honotirable, it is wise
and -politic. It is a mark of confidence in his
people,- which cannot fail to create confidence in
return. It displays that strict' regard for his
word Which formed tine pride of some of his an-
cestors,
.and it show at the same time that con-
SclotiSness Of strength which is 'as necessary as
justice to a Monarch. Well may the Journal des
Dgbats say that this Ordonnance has created
universal satisfaction. It has 'done so not only
in France itself, but amongst the friends of
France',- who think her happiness and freedom
the' best securities for the general tranquillity and
happieess of the world. The object of the Mo-
narch is said to be " the fusion and reconcilia-
tinti kit partii.a," an object which had been so
too'long neglected. It is impossible to say bow
soon it will be attained in a country where no-
thing flail. yet been done to soothe political animo-
sities ; but it cannot be doubted that if it be at-
taiii'able at all, it can only be by a course of wise,
liberal, and patriotic measures, like that which
Charles X. has adopted.
