FRANCE AND THE REVOLT 1N
THE TURKISH PROVINCES.

The crisis of the Turkish empire seems near at hand, and
as may; naturally be conceived, the state of the East, and par-
ticularly of the Christian population, is exciting the attention of
the Paris papers, and some of them are struggling hard to re-
commend a kind of protectorship of which France is to be the
head. La Presse hazards the following paragFaph tee
" Lord Palmerston, when questioned his Parliament on the '
subject cf Candia, replied by a vague promise to compel the '
Porte to respect the r.glits of humanity towards a p-pulatiun
which has been reduced lit a breve.' yoke from 0)0,000 to
160,000. _We kn'uw how this promise has been kept ; w 6 tee
the ships of England openly giving assistance to the expedi-
tion of fahir-Pacha. What should-be the attitude of France ?
Will our Government, have performed its duty in observing a
severe and scrupulous neutrality? We think not. The Chris-
tians of the Fait, -whether Greek or Boman Cathelie, reekom
upon the protection of Fiance, and they must not be disae-
pointed in their hopes. . We can now assume the position, as
regards the dispute between the Sultan and the Greeks of Can-
di', which we ought to have wsumed in that between him and
Mehemet Ali. The hatti scheriff of (3ulhane, which emanci-
pated the Christians, is- a dead letter in Turkeys like ell its
other matinee, be'cause the Porte has only as instruments of
execution ignorant and ill-disposed Turks. Nothing will be
done for the Christians of the east so long as they shall not
hare the guarantee of France for the engagermette of the
Porte,"
And. the National contains somethlnk In thb. !9tllt! el fain I -ee
" By inteeveniteg its good season between the Porte, or
rather its Allies, and the Christians who are arming for- in-
dependence, it would be possible to gain some of that
influence which we did not care to assert by the protection
of Egypt. But our Goverment will not do this. It will
permit the English to, establish themselves at Cahea, and
thus complete the possession of the Arehipele.gbi it Will
allow the Russians to tteeemplith Iht cohquest hf 1311garia,
and when compelled by the force of public opinion to take
a pert in the struggle, it will be for .the purpose of support-
ing some Russian or English spoliation, and assist in found-
ing seine small States, based upon the principles of the
republic of M. Capo d'lstr.as, or the kingdom of Otho.
We do not calumniate the French Goverment in prejudging
its intentions arid its eonducte' The past enab:ets us so Fro-
neunce as to the fkaLie. Besides, in order to judge of the part
which we art going to play in this new phase of the eastern
question, it' is sufficient to see how each of the Grcat Powers
is preparing to act. Whilst the Russians are at the gates of
Constantinople, and the English are everywhere from the Bos-
phorus to Alexandria, whilst one and the other are s'i'ting the
Old Turkish empire under the weight of their troops, inun-
dating it with their ships, and it eking it the object or their di-
plomatic treaties, what have le done in the east ? We have
only cast. one thing into the scale-111. de Bourquenci's
paraphe."
The Galignaui, a paper thit telclom indulges in political
affairs, has some jedieinuS Observations, in reply to the Pause
and the Natheetsle-cf which weewilliegly give an extract.:—
" It ht eleer from the above extract., as well as from the
article of the Presse which we noticed yesterday, that great
efforts are making by different parties here to revive the
claim which is said to have been made by M. Thiers, that
the island of Condia should be placed under the direct
guardianship of Prance, and, if we may judge by the
language now used by the opponents of the policy avowed
by the Cabinet of Marshal Soult, such a concession as this
on the part of the Four Great Powers would give great popu-
larity to the French IViriistry. But our Contemporary over-
looks the important Tate, that the object of the Treaty of
July was to prevent the assumption of protectorship on any
point of the Eastern question by any Power in particular, and
that, consequently, the course now asked for, and recom-
mended as a sine qua non to the French Government, to be
forcibly taken if refused as it concession, is rendered exceed-
ingly difficult by the nature of things.' t cannot, besides, be
for a moment supeceed that four Christian Powers, although
they do not 'rake common cause with the Christians in
Candia against their rulers, can look tamely on and allow
them to be persecuted by the Turks. '1 here must be
equal sympathy for the Christian population of the Turkish
dominions, in Eng'and, Russia, Austria, and Prussia; and
certainly in England, which is essentially a religious coun-
try, with all its sects having the same feelings in favour of
the sp:cad of ChriAiauity under whatever external form,
there can be no support fur a p& icy hostile to the Christians
and friendly to the Turks. If Lord Palmerston were disposed
to lay aside all et heideration for tl:e Christians in their dispute
with their Turkish rulers, he would meet with but little sup-
port from the people of England, nor would he have the con-
currence of the Christian States with which England is allied.
Is there, however, anything to show that the British Govern-
ment is indifferent to the struggle between the crescent and
the cross ? Was not the hatti-scheriff of Gulhane in great
part the work of the British Cabinet ; and is it not declared
by the Four Powers that the Turkish Government must be
aided in its efforts to enforce its own decree? True, it is, that
the Porte is unable without aid to put its Christian subjects in
possession of the benefits which it has promised; and it is a
curious fact, that one of the great obstacles to the desired end is
the open or di-guised encouragement given by Mehemet Ali to
all Turks who refuse to eeecute the mandate of their ruler; but
if the Four Powers do not intervene in favour of the revolt,
which has been has'ened by the ignorance of the persecuting
spirit of Turkish agents, encouraged in their opposition to the
tolerance of the Government by, that of a chief who sets him-
self up as the o:thodox defender of the Mahometan creed, is
that any reason for inferring that they will not guarantee to the
Christians of Candia, Bulgaria, &c., who have risen, the full
enjoyment 'of• all the rights and privileges promised by the
hetet-eche:riff as the, condition- of their submission., to the
Perk? If the Four Powers should not do this then, indeed,
the direct intervention of ,thq French Government would not
only be popular in France, but would also meet with support
from the people. cf every Chiistiarr-State, although at present
there may be season to believe that the revolt is not wholly of
that religious character which the accounts received through
channels which are friendly to the insurgents would lead us to
believe,"

MR. CROSS AND MR. CABBELL.
• We received a letter y esterday from Mr.Portwine, affirm-
ing the statements of Mr. Cross relative to the blaSphernous
expressions of the candidate for Marylebere.-
some doubts, even after we received the letter, that any
Christian should have so far forgotten his duty as to
mix up religion with politics for a selfish purpOse ; but
we have no doubt now on the subject. The following
letterz, all certified by the names of the writers, place
the question beyond doubt :
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

~Sts,—Perceiiins a note in your columns from Mr.
611 tubers, the Chairman of the meeting at the King and
Queen, Paddington green, asserting that the expressions
mentioned in my handbill .were untrue ; if the Hon.
Gent. will compare iity handbill 'with his note, he will
find that he has " just enough learning to misquote." I
confidently assert that the, expressions mentioned
in my handbill were uttered by Mr. Cabbell at the above
Meeting, and in a manner which must have assured every
one present they were the true sentiments of his 11LT:rt.
Whether the opposition met with by the Hon. Gentle-
man rendered him unable to govern himself, I know
rit,t certaii)y his speech, from beginning to end, indi-
cated a great want both of sound argument and self-
goverrimmt.

I am, Sir, your obt servant,
Praed-street, June 25, 1841. W. CROSS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

I hereby certify that I heard the language uttered by
Mr. Ca'6bell at the King and Queen, Paddington-green,
on Friday, June 18, and which Mr. Chambers denies in
your Paper of this morning.. The only thing I complain
of is that Mr. Cross has not been severe enough in his
circular.

The Tories riehly,deserved the castigation which Mr.
in aspeech which elicited loud
plaildits, and -which even induced some of the Con-
servatiVes.to shake hands with me.
I am, Sir, your most obedient,
June 24. VERITAS.
