but whom does Sir ROBERT PEEL suppose he
deceives by putting constituted authorities and
rqsical force in opposition? The constituted
authorities in France, as well as England, rely
an organised physical force to maintain

it aside and trust to moral force. So sen-
sible
of this is Louis PHILIPPE, that he is
building forts, the more securely and safely to
bringa his organised physical force into action,
‘1,1(1 subdue the moral force of public opinion.
:au! will Sir ROBERT PEEL, when he is placed in

~,eying almost exclusively on physical force.
hat would he do with the Chartists, what with
Ireland ? What would the landlords make of
alQe het .--- Ivy multitude,had they and he not a large,
le) a prodigiously large, organized physical
dforce in soldiers, yeomany, and policemen to
, in awe the physical force of those who

ELL may deceive himselfby his own words—and
Politicians like him and Lord STANLEY seem to
use words chiefly to delude themselves—but he
will decoive nobody else when lie speaks of con-
stituted authorities which exist and are main-
t
CtUled only by organised physical force, which
ething
!Muhl not last a day without such a force, as
distinguished from physical force,
eY being, good and this evil. The do-
of organised physical force may be of
much greater advantage to society than the
ceuninion of rude unorganised individual phy-
eal force; bui it is sheer nonsense in this age of
vvith th-e Republicans of France kept in
..7"hissiota only by the sword, and the Chartists
lahaEngland scarcely kept in awe by the bayonet
the policeman's bludgeon, to talk of consti-
tuted
b a uthorities as something existing wholly
Y moral force, which, by some divine and un-
eaPlained appointment, subdues into order and
6abinission the brute physical force of the corn-
4111ai ty.
Let Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends not de-
eeive themselves. Nowhere, except in the
united States, do the constituted authorities
exist except by means of an organised physical
°l.ee---for nowhere, unfortunately, do they now
Ilt)111111and the hearty approbation and the willing
8143111ission of the masses ; and nowhere, except
lerhaps in England under the Whig Adminis-
:ati°n, are the constituted authorities en-
`tged in any national attempts to found and
111.teserve their power, or meriting the approba-
tion of the governed. From the opinions put
.forth kv Sir R. PEEL--from his avowing himself
discip;e in politics of the atheistical doctrine
°f chance--from his vain belief, growing from a
false._ theory, that it is a duty in him and his
'lends to form a phalanx of Conservatives to put
ail end to the desire of men to get rid of defective
itus,*itutions—we dread his accession to office as
the ,:ommencement of a conflict between the or-

thate learn with satisfaction, from a Tory print,
to the Whigs in South Derbyshire are likely

-I)olthern to exert. themselves with the energy
greniting the occasion to gain seats from the
hC'es in several counties. But they seem to
ave .'Urtnos A
Selv 1-1' eu that if thcv did not exert them-
ef es, thc Tories would allOw them a fair share

ptneir strength, nor evoked the full support of

ie ho
Pe that the Tories would exercise fori:eat

s..rmnitted a mistake. It would be impos- •
!151e for the thwart the Tories to abuse the Whigs more, to

There .sOn•
~. is no extreme measure in political war-
'are Which they are not ready and willing to em-
trace, and it is foolishness in their opponents not

to exert themselves to the utmost, and use all
the means in their power to defeat the Tories.
It is said, for example, that the success of Lord
SA NDON and Mr. CRESSWELL at Liverpool is chiefly
owing to the influence of the parsons. It is
certain that those gentlemen have great influ-
ence in the counties, and equally certain that the
Tories would not walk so easily over the course if
they were not backed by the Established priest-
hood. This great body of hired and paid public
servants is, therefore, opposed to her • MA-
JESTY, and the Ministers scarcely do their
duty to the QUEEN when they fail to,exert them-
selves to curb and check this usurping body of
men. The dislike of the bulk of the priesthood
for the Whig Ministers cannot be increased, and
why should the priesthood be patronised and
protected by them? Why should not the Whig
Journals expose the arrogance and avarice of the
priesthood? Why should they not be diligently
and continually held up to that odium their in-
justice and rapacity deserve ? Why should they
not be continually brought before the public, as
allies of the landlords in maintaining the tax on the
people's bread ? These gentlemen are very sus-
ceptible of being wounded. A miglity array of
sectarian hostility and of public disap-
probation might be directed against them, were
the Ministers so to will it ; and they scarcely do
themselves and their party justice while they
spare and protect their bitterest enemies, and the
bitter enemies of the rights and liberties of the
people.
We conclude by stating that we have just
learned with much pleasure that East Sussex is
not to be resigned without a struggle to the
Tories; and we aagur most!favourably from the
Brighton, Lewes, and Rye elections of the suc-
cess of Mr. SHELLEY.

We have received several communications from British
merchants engaged in trading with mercantile houses in
Alexandria, complaining that MEHEMET ALI utterly
disregards that condition of the hatti scheriff which fixes
the rate of export duty upon all merchandise throughout
the Turkish empire, and we regret to have to add on the
authority of letters direct from Alexandria, that these
complaints are well-founded. A Correspondent at Malta,
usually well informed upon all matters connected with
:he East, assures us that Commodore Sir CHARLES NA-
PIER addressed a letter to the Pacha in May last, re-
presenting to his Highness in yery energetic terms,
that he had not redeemed the pledges made
to the Gallant Commodore to restore the Syrian
prisoners to their freedom, and to remove all obstacles
to that freedom of trade which the SULTAN had granted
to all his subjects. The answer of his Highness the
VICEROY was satisfactory. He assured the Commo-
dore that whatever remained to be done was owing to
the unsettled state of affairs, but that having accepted
and promulgated this finnan, the time was arrived to
carry it faithfully into effect. With regard to the
monopoly,our Correspondent says that the Pacha's letter
stated that it would be abolished in a "manner agree-
able to the interests of the country,"—a phrase which
he appears to think has a very suspicious sound in the
mouth of such a master of the chicanery of diplomacy
as MEHEMET ALL However, it is gratifying to know
that something has been done in the way of reminding
MEHEMET ALT that the British Government is not likely to
submit to the deprivation of any boon which the SULTAN
has conferred upon British subjects trading with any part
of the Turkish empire. The VICEROY, moreover, will
soon discover that it is not his interest to fall to logger-
heads with a Government whose influence can be second
to none in securing to him and his family the Pachalic
of Egypt, and if need be, of obtaining for him from the
Porte the remittance of a considerable amount of the im-
posed tribute.
Letters just received from Vienna state that the Porte,
alarmed at the progress of the insurrections in its Eu-
ropean provinces has consented to establish a Chris-
tian Government at Jerusalem. We trust this news
is well founded. Before Commodore Sir CHARLES NA-
PIER left the Coast of Syria, he perceived the necessity
of uniting the towns of Beyrout, Saida, and Tripoli, as
far as the plains of Bekar, under the jurisdiction of the
EMIR BESCHIR, Prince of LEBANON, whom he deemed
it advisable that the Porte should invest with the rank
of Pacha. As Prince of the Mountains the EMIR
might dispense with the title, but to maintain uniformity
in the administration of the Turkish rule, we approve of
the Commodore's suggestion that the territory in ques-
tion should form a Pachalic. As to the EMIR himself,
and the mountain tribes who acknowledge his authority,
no arrangement could be more popular. It
would in fact, be restoring to the EMIR
territory of which former Governors had de-
prived him for imputed acts of treason ; it would
give the Prince and his family unbounded confidence in
the good faith of the Porte ; and it would raise up in
Syria a power capable of protecting the Porte from any
machinations of MEHEMET ALI in that quarter. We
believe the EMIR himself is most anxious to receive some
especial mark of Imperial approbation, and that he rests
his hopes of success upon the influence of Great Britain
at Constantinople. Should the news from Vienna re-
late to his advancement to the Government of Jerusalem,
we shall hope soon to hear of an improved state of .
affairs in Syria.

The Madrid papers of the 28th supply us with no
news worth relating. It was rumoured that the capital-
ists of the bank of St. Ferdinand had submitted a series
of propositions concerning the loan to the Minister of
Finance, but their nature had not transpired. The Go-
vernment have published the price of coupons, which
have fallen to 21. Fives for Account (60 days) were at
264 to 27.

The Paris news of Monday is not of much interest,
the intervention of Sunday affording in general a cessa-
tion of political business, even in the anti-Sabbatical
metropolis of the gay nation. Our correspondence of
that date brings us few facts of importance, the principal
one being that the KING and Royal Family had returned
rather unexpectedly to Neuilly from their excursion in
Normandy. It was generally expected that they would
have gone on to their chateau at Eu ; but this project
has been suddenly counter-ordered, and they have come
back. It is supposed that Louis PHILIPPE, aware of
the communication from the British Government urging
France to accede to the last protocol of the Conference
of London, has been anxious to direct this matter him-
self, more especially since Marshal SOULT is in the coun-
try, and the KING is not fond of leaving too much in M.
GUIZOT'S power. It had surprised many people that the
KING should have left the neighbourhood of the capital
with all the Royal Family. The Dukes of ORLEANS
and NEMOURS accompanied him, and in case of an emeute
having taken place, there was not a single member of the
Royal Family capable of acting remaining on the spot.
Some sudden reminiscence of this kind may have dis-
turbed the rural meditations of the KING, and have re-
minded him that, like an Italian Podesta of the middle
ages, he holds a wolf by the ears, and must not let go
on pain of being devoured himself.
It is said that the house, or rather houses of ROTHS-
CHILD are ready to issue the new Russian loans, and that
in a few days an emission of this paper may be expected
in Paris.

A rumour had reached Paris from the Levant that
the Ambassadors of the Four Powers at Constantinople
had given the Porte to understand that their sovereigns
would not be displeased at seeing Syria formed into an
independent State, and Candia placed under the protec-
tion of Russia. This combination is said to have origi-
nated with Prince METTERNICH, but the report does not
bear such evident marks of probability as to entitle it to
immediate credit.
The riots in England caused by the elections, and es-
pecially those at Liverpool, have caused a painful feeling
among the more reflecting portion of the French public.
The papers point exultingly to what they call the barba-
rism of the British nation, and many reflecting men dis-
pute our claim to that high degree of civilization which
we undoubted possess. The wholesale bribery and cor-
ruption, too, by which so many seats have been carried,
have opened a door for the animadversion of our Parisian
Contemporaries, of which they have not been slow to avail
themselves.
The son of the Duke DECAZES was sent some time
since to St. Petersburgh, and it is now said that his mis-
sion was .to obtain the consent of the CZAR to the mar-
riage of the Prince de JOINVILLE with the Princess
SoPHIA of Orange. He is a rather young diplomatist to
be entrusted with an affair of so delicate a nature, and he
is not very likely to succeed in it.
M. Le Gallois, publisher of the Abbe Constant's Bible de la
Liberte, has been taken into custody in execution of the judg-
ment of the Court of Assizes in May last, which condemned
him to three months' imprisonment, 300 f. fine, and the costs
of the prosecution, fer publishing this work.
The Court of Cassatien, on Saturday, annulled a sentence
of death, passed by a Council of War, at Bona, on the 29th
February, upon four natives accused of robbing and attempt-
ing to murder some carriers on the road from Bona to Con.
staotina. The decision of the Supreme Tribunal is founded
on the fact that the accused, not being military men, were not
liable to military law. Fortunately the sentence has not been
carried into execution, as was the case with Taleb-el-Chourfi,
who was executed without waiting for the result of his appeal,
the merits of which are to he decided upon in a few days. The
Procureur-General has expressed himself strongly before the
Court in favour of this appeal.
A Nantes paper mentions that as the Cure of Preloux was
crossing an open plain, some (la) s ago, during a thunder storm,
with an umbrella expanded over his head, it was struck by
lightning, but not burnt, while the electric fluid fell to the
ground iii a multitude of little sparks at his feet, and he re:
ceived no further injury than the pain arisitg from a smart
electric shock.
The female boa-constrictor at the Garden of Plants recently
hats led three eggs, and the three young serpents that have
issued from them are of the greatest beauty.
od Saturday, between nine and ten in the morning, as a
respectai;lv-dreiced female, about thirty years of age, was
walking on the Boulevard St. Martin, ncar the theatre of the
Ambiga Comique, she was observed suddenly to fold her arms
over her bosom, and fall to the ground. A bystander imme-
diately picked her up, and saw to his horror, when he had
i forced cpe2 her arms, that she had plunged a knife into her
bosom, and was bleeding profusely. Surgical aid was called
in, and her wound was pronounced to be of a very dangerous
„nature. Neither the name of this female ncr the motive for
her act are known.
A lady residing at Bue, between Meudon and Versailles, for
her health, occasionally amused herself with firing at small birds
in the garden of the house where she lodged. One clay last
week, while thus employed, the let fall a number of percussion.

caps, and a little girl who was with her stooped to pick them
up. In rising again she accidentally caught the trigger of the
gun with her frock, and, the muzzle being turned towards her,
discharged the contents into her own body, instantly killing
her. The •lady was so much affected by this lamentable acci-
dent that she became delirious, and fears are entertained that
she will never be restored to her reason. Buc was nearly on
the same day the scene of another deplorable catastrophe. A
boy, only ten years old, of ungovernable temper, having peen
corrected by his mother for a fault, carried into execution a
threat he had often made, and hung himself in a stable. A few
few yews ago another boy of about the same age committed
suicide in the same village, because he was corrected for play-
ing truant.
On Saturday evening the weather, which had been rather
cool for some weeks past, became suddenly much warmer, and
at midnight the thermometer stood at 18 degrees above zero of
the Centigrade scale, or 64 of Fahrenheit. At 7 o'clock yes-
terday morning it had risen to 21 C., or 70 F. ; at noon to 27
2.10 C., or 81 F. ; and at 2 o'clock to 28 2.10 C., or 82i F.
During the morning, however, and while the sky was perfectly
cloudless, the barometer fell considerably, and and about .5 in
the afternoon clouds gatherinc, thickly in the west portended a
storm. The wind rose, and drove before it with much violence
a tremendous cloud of dust, which between 6 and 7 extended
all over the metropolis. The wind then shifte‘t to the N. W.,
and a thundei.stoim ensued, attended with heavy rain, which
lasted till nearly nine o'clock. The thermometer still remained
at a high point.
We quote the following from the Caen Journal In 14.',0
was fought the battle of Formigny, in Normandy, which was
followed by the expulsion of the English, who for thirty-three
years had kept that country under subjection. In 1486, the
hero of that battle, John de Bourbon, in performance of the
vow he made on gaining the victory, erected a chapel on the
field, dedicated it to Saint Louis, and founded a perpetual mass,
to be said daily by two priests for the repose of the souls of
those who fell. In 1672 it was raised to the rank of a chapel
royal by the great Conde. Although during the first revolu-
tion this chapel was converted into a granary, it was so far
respected as a monument of glory that the building suffered i.o
mutilation; and King Louis Philippe having determined on
restoring it, has given orders for the commencement of the
works."

The cup or vase which the Duke of Orleans determined to
send to be run for at the next Goodwood Races, in return for
that won by his horse last year, is finished, any, will be sent off
to England this day. It was exhibited fur two days at the
Jockey Club, and may be thus described :—lt weighs 43 mares,
or 344 ounces, and measures in height 211 inches, and in width
13/-inches. Its form is of the age of Francis I , with two
ansers composed of figures of Victory with displayed wings,
supporting a wreath of the acanthus, gracefully wrought round
the neck of the cup. The lower parts of the sneers divide the
surface of the cup into two compartments, one of which con-
tains a representation in relief of a tournament of the 15th cen-
tury ; and the other, the carousal given by Louis XIV. in
1668, in front of the Tuileries. The costumes of the knight,
are copied from plates and drawings made at the time, and
preserved in the Royal , Library. On four medallions are, an
English race-horse mounted by his jockey—a Limousin horse
ridden in the French style—a German horse and an Arabian,
each mounted by riders of their respective countries. At the
oot is an escutcheon with the cypher of the Prince Royal, sup-
ported by two armed men, and spaces for the insertion of the
names of the winning horse and his owner, the date of the race,
&c. The cup was executed by M. Klagmann, who made the
rich sculptured ornaments of the sword presented by the city to
the Count de Paris, and was finished by M'. Durand, the gold-
smith, who gained the first medal at the exhibition of the useful
arts in 1839. It is valued at 500 guineas.

THE SAGACITY AND JUSTICE OF THE QUARTERLY
REVIEW.-This very celebrated Tory Journal, in an
elaborate article on our South Australian Colonies, in-
cluding the South Seas Whale Fishery, observes, that
" the indirect duties levied on oil of the British fishery,
in the shape of duties on Baltic staves for casks, or Jo.
reign provisions, and many other articles, amount to
from 6001. to 8001. upon each whaling voyage," or 6/. a
tun on sperm oil. In the same paragraph it is stated
that an American ship, which has not these dutieS to pay
on Baltic staves • and foreign provisions, is fitted out and
navigated at two-thirds of the expense of an English
ship; and to this difference of expense, the Reviewer at-
tributes the decay of our whale fishery, and the increase
of that of the Americans. The reader will hardly be-
lieve, we presume, unless he see it as we now see it, with
his-own eyes, that the Quarterly Reviewer, after showing
that the increased charge on the English ship arises
mainly from our timber duties, which include Baltic
staves, and our Corn-laws, which levy the duties on
foreign provisions, has the astounding impudence or folly
to conclude Such are the blessed effects of free trade."
The only free trade that seems to us to exist anywhere is
a free trade in lying, in which the Tories carry on a
prodigious traffic. They trade, however, on a fictitious •
capital, and they " may depend on it," as their leader,
master, and great instructor says, that the bubble will
speedily burst, and display them to the world. as they
really are, a hapleSs nest of wretched bankrupts in poli-
tical capacity.

POPULARITY OF THE MEASURES OF MINISTERS.—
The Times yesterday again bore its testimony to the
popularity of the measures of Ministers. " Had not an
opinion," it said, " been entertained unfavourable to
Ministers, they must by these measures " have carried
their point in the town elections by an overwhelming
majority." It is so deeply convinced of their popularity
and justice, that its feelings are those of a thankful and
half-incredulous admiration, that every town in the king-
dom did not return two Liberals by an overwhelming
majority. A more decisive testimony to the utility and
propriety of the measures for giving us cheap bread
than this of a most reluctant witness, it is impossible to
have. It must encourage the Whigs to proceed in their
present course of setting trade free, whether in office or
out of office, as the sure passport to popular support.
We only hope that they will, when they again have an
opportunity, make their measures more extensive, and
go at once the whole hog, for they could not then be
more calumniated than they have now been for attacking
a pettitoe.

EX PRESS! FROM PARIS.

Our accounts from Vienna state, that Prince Metternich
had expressed his apprehension that the integrity of the Otto-
man empire could not be maintained against the numerous
enemies raised against it in so many quarters. To propitiate
the Christian Powers the Sultan had named a Governor of
Jerusalem.

The devatches brought by the Levant mail, which arrived
in Marseilles on Sunday last, had not reached Paris up to a
late hour on Tuesday.
Accounts from Toulon of the 2d inst. state that the Alerte,
Palinura, and Cerf brigs, and (the Styx steamer, are being
fitted out for the Brazil station.

The Sentinelle de la Marine maintains that Admiral Hugon
was not to be replaced in the command of the French Medi-
terranean fleet by Admiral Lalande. •
Accounts from Barcelona of the 20th ult. announce that the
Captain-General of Valencia had, on the receipt of orders
from Madrid, embarked for ►he Balearic Isles two regiments of
infantry, several squadrons of cavalry, in consequence, it was
thought, of the appearance of Admiral Hugon's squadron off
those islands.
Letters from Madrid of the 29th ult. mention that the'
guardianship question would come before the Senate on the
30th. TLe Minister of Finance had presented to the Chamber
of Deputies a project of law having for its object to annex to
the rational domain all the property which had hitherto be-
longed to the secular clergy.
The King of Hanover dissolved the States of the kingdom,
because they had refused to grant the supplies. , His Majesty,
quoting the 155th edict of the Constitution of 1840, ordered
that the taxes voted during the preceding session should con-
