THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE

EASTERN QUESTION.

(From the French Papers of Tuesday.)

We give the following from the Commerce, merely as a
specimen of the politiCal gossip current in Paris, not as
attaching of ourselves the least credit to it :—" It has been
reported that one day last week, when M. Guizot was vi-
siting Lord Palinerstn, his Lordship said, Well, Sir, we
have settled the affair of the East,' and then explained the
arrangements entered into near!y in the same terms used by
the Morning Post's correspondent. M. Guizot, whose in-
structions were to receive all communications which might
be made to him on the affairs of the East, but to take no
part in them, bowed, and soon afterwards returned to his
house, and despatched a courier to M. Thiers, who arrived
on Saturday morning, about ten ~'clock. Two hours
afterwards the English Minister waited upon him
with a notification of the treaty. Nothing less is
talked of than calling out two hundred thousand men
,1 the reserve. Instructions to this effect have beer, sent
to the Generals commanding divisions, who are to form
their troops into brigades. Purchases of horses, ammu-
nition. and provisions are talked of ; in fine, preparations
are making for the expenditure of large sums of money.
The most sanguine go still further, and announce that
20,000 men are being prepared for marching towards the
Riviera of Genoa, to keep Austria in check in Italy,
100,000 men are to be mustered on the Rhine.
The navy also must have a share in the commotion. Vice-
Admiral Roussin will leave the office of Minister to receive
the baton of fdl Admiral from the hands of his successor,
and take the command of our fleet in the Levant, having
Rear-Admirals Lalande and Hugon under him. Never-
theless, before coming to extremities, a last attempt is to
be made with Austria ; and the Count de St. Aulaire,
who is now at Paris on leave, is to set out this evening for
Vienna. If he fails the Chamber will be convoked, in
order to be applied to for means of action."
The most remarkable of •the articles with which the
Journals before us teem is one given in the Constitution-
nel, and on that account said to be from the pen of M.
Thiers. It enters upon a history of the Eastern question
for the last nine months, which it discusses rather calmly,.
and deduces from it that the present crisis has not been
produced by any fault of the present Ministers, but was
solely ascribable to their predecessors. It goes on to as-
sume that the treaty just signed by the Four Great Powers
has placed in jeopardy the peace of Europe, and contends
that that proceeding only could have compromised Euro-
pean tranquillity. " From the moment when the idea was
entertained of forcing Mehemet Ali to surrender Syria,
the difficulties that have occurred, and which are now at
their maximum, were inevitable." In conclusion, the
Constitutionnel states as follows :

" France should be prepared for all eventualities. It will
not see with cold blood a hand placed on the Turkish em-
pire. All alone, as she is, she has an immense power—
material and moral. Her material position consists in a
population admirable by its compact, unity, and its passion
for the glory of arms, fur grandeur obtained by justice. It
consists in the best finances in the world, in 200,000,000
of reserve accumulated at the bank, 150,000,000 laid by
for internal improvement, in two milliard of royal forests,
and of 300,000,000 the war budget. Without a loan,
with even the sale of its woods, France could have, in
a short time, 700,000,000 disposed to make head against
its enemies.

" Its moral force resides in the sympathies and approba-
tion of the people. But in order that France should
merit that support it must have no wrong at its side—even
in England it will have the people with it. Strong in
their aids France need not care about being isolated. But
Government has precautions to take, and no doubt it will
take them. It is not Eghtly that the peace of the world
is to be troubled, and so just is the cause of France that it
will neither lose interest nor honour."
