THE FRENCH MINISTRY AND

THE OVERLAND EXPRESSES.

(From the Times.)
Nothing can be more natural than that people should
estimate the ma ;nitude of means by the importance of
1 results, and assign in their imaginations a due proportion
1
between cause and effect. The omne iynotum pro magni-
.fico will, of course, operate largely in such an estimate;
and as nothing is more unknown to the general mass of
mankind than the causes of political action, these are,
1 of course, set down at th 4 highest possible figure. This,
however, is one of the vulgar errors—a popular delusion,

extremely useful to governors, and by them Imuck
cherished, but not qatte so useful to the goierned,
although, strange to say, by them still more cherished.
The truth is, in politics, as in the most ordinary affairs
of life, the impulse of human passions is felt, though not
distinctly seen. Statesmen know the touch of pride and
animosity like other mortals. Governments have their
petty rivalries and jealousies, filly as keen, and some-
times not less ridiculous, than those of smaller societies.
And the consequence is, that great events of state are
as frequently produced by the most insignificant causes
as by wisdom and deliberation. Perhaps it was hardly
necessary to point out so particularly such a familiar
anomaly; nor would it have been done but for the sake of
introducing an example of it, one of the strongest cer•
tainly that we remember to have heard. The public has
not forgotten Lieut. Waghorn's recent experiment to
shorten the overland route from India. That enter-
prising gentleman, having often experienced the dilat ‘ry
and vexatious pomposities of French officials, in passing
from Marseilles to Boulogne, and being convinced, as he
deel tres, that the route by Trieste is in other respects
preferable, resolved to make the experi:nent of carrying
his dispatches through Germany. Accordingly he con •
veyed them by steamer from Alexandria to Trieste,
thence through the Austrian dominions to the Rhine,
and down that river to Cologne, pacing through Bel-
giu!n to Ostend, and so to London, thus avoiding alto-
eethor France and her custom-houses. He brought with
him the Indian dispatches for all the papers without
distinction. His attempt war not completely successful,
having been chitructed, as he explained at the time, by
some adverse circumstances which were not unavoid-
able, and would therefore nit occur again. It was,
however, sufficiently promising to afford very general
satisfaction ; and we, among many others, bore testimony
at once to the exertions of Lieut. Waghorn and the ad-
vantages of his scheme. These, incite d, were obvious to
a moment's reflection. In the previously existing state
of things any misunderstanding with France would have
interrupted or greatly disturbed our intercourse with
India. Such an event history forbids us to consider im-
probable, and modern experience furnishes no contrast,
to the annals of bygone times. An undertaking, there.-
' fore, which had for its object to render England inde-
pendent of France in this particular, was a national
benefit. Whether projected or not under the stimulus,
of private interest, it was nevertheless a public ad_
vantage, and as such should have been encouraged at
least, if not promoted, by G'overrunt nt patronage. In
this view we regarded the subject, and in a s;earilar
view it was regarded by all the other jourr.als, with
one exception. The cause of this excerW.ue will pre-
sently appear. Lieut. Waghorn's enterprise gave great
offence to the French Government. The approbation
it met with on this side the, Channel excited a propor-
tionate disapprobation on the other. Or rather no pro-
portion at all was observed; for whereas our satisfaction
Gad been moderate and founded on reason, the anger of
the French authorities has known no bounds nor pre-
served even the shadow of reason. If the conveyance of
the Anglo-Indian mails from Marseilles to Boulogne had.
been a private matter, in which the pecuniary interests:
of individuals were deeply involved, it could have ex-
cited no wonder that these individuals should be alarmed
by the prospect of losing their monopoly. gut that per-

and powerful country—that a man who holds the present.

oladin this matter is SG
Whet motive, one would ask, could possibly induce a
public man, the first 11Iini'ter of one of the first of:
European Powers, to o:Ater into competition in any way
with a private ne”eson (for be it remembered that Lieute-
nant Wag
heorn was not patronised by the English Go-
Verl,"'
-lent), and, further, to resent the simple expression
of satisfaction on the part of his countrymen, in contem-
plating the partial success of his enterprise? Such,
however, has been the course pursued by M. Guizot,
and fortunately we are not left to conjecture to discover
the motive of it. As soon as the commercial treaty be-
tween the French Minister and the Morhing Herald was
made known to us, our correspondent in Paris applied at
the Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres to be admitted to
a participation in the advantages of the treaty.
He had an interview with M. Guizot, who rave
him the following answer :—" You have wiitten
to the Minister of Finance to request that
the favour of purifying and delivering the dispatch of
the Morning Herald immediately on its arrival at
Marseilles be conceded to you also for the Times. Now,
I will tell you how the matter steads. The Times lately
brought by Mr. Waghorn the Indian mail from Suez to
Alexandria, and thence rid Trieste to London, and
boasted of having beaten by that express, and of having
outstripped by that route, the French Post-office, and
demonstrated —at least, as umed—that the Trieste route
was shorter than by sea to Marseilles, and by land
through France to Boulogne, and by Folkestone to Lon.
don. Immediately afterwards we received from the
Morning _Herald the following proposition :—' We :pro-
pose to prove that the route via Marseilles to London is
shorter in point of time than that by Trieste. Will you
(the French Government) participate in the expense of
the attempt to prove that fact ?" We assented, and the
Alexandre steamer was accordingly ordered on that ser-
vice under the circumstances and in the manner 3ou
know. You see, therefore. that this is a joint affair
of ours and the Morning Herald, and that
consequently we cannot—and we regret it—
allow the Times to participate in an ad-
vantage for which the Morning Herald is at the greater
part of the expense. You see it was your own fault.
You proclaimed to the world the superiority of Mr.
IVaghorn over us, and you cannot be surprised that we
accepted a proposition to prove the contrary fact." There
is one trait in M. Guizot's character which this transac-
tion veryconspicuously developes--we mean his can tour.
He makes no scruple to acknowledge that a vessel of
the French navy—about the honourable employment of
which so much has been said of late—has been used to
convey the dispatches of an English newspaper in order
to afford it an advantage over its c Internporaries. M.
Guizot will of course be equally candid in his answer when
some curious member of the Opposition asks him out of
what fund the expenses of this noble enterprise have
been paid. The case, on the whole, stands thus :—A
private gentleman in England—the man, moreover, who
first rendered the overland route practicable, in spite of
the indifference or opposition of Ministers and Secreta•
ries—believes that ho has discovered an improvement in
that route, and in the prosecution of a private enterprise;
charges himself indiscriminately with the conveyance of
dispatches for all the English journals, without favour
or affection. • But a public man and the Prime Minister
of France, prosecuting a public undertaking, enters into
a private partnership with the proprietor of a newspaper,
and on the ground of private interest, excludes all the
world, save his partner alone, from a share in the ad-
vantage. And this man's name is blown throughout
the world by the trumpet of Fame, and himself regarded
by thousands of Frenchmen as the first of living states-
men—Proh finder !

(From the He'•ald.)

We have not attempted to conceal that we were under
great obligations to the French Government for the
assistance afforded to our agents in every respect ; but
it is utterly untrue to state that this express was ar•
ranged by the French Government, and that the Herald's
work began only at Marseilles The facts are simply
these:—lmmediately upon reading the bombastic obser-
vations made by the Times in support of Mr. Waghorn's
project for conveying the India mail vid Germany—
offered, no doubt, as a compliment to Mr. Waghorn for
bringing the Times' dispatches, and with the hope of
receiving his assistance hereafter—we determined upon
proving the utter absurdity of the assertion that the
Trieste route was the shortest, by running as rapid an
express as possible frglit Sues via Marseil.es. The only
difficulty in our way Was to obtain a steam-boat from
ntnaheexer favourt that one of the usual

importance to England as the expediting the conveyance
of the Indian mail, they had determined upon placing
at our disposal a French war-steamer, which could con-
vey our agent to Egypt, to arrange the express from
Suez to Alexandria, and for the use of which vessel the
French Government could not possibly receive any pe-
cuniary remuneration, but they expected that a copy of
the " Overland Bombay Times" should be delivered to
the Government in Paris as soon as our courier arrived
there. For this extremely generous, and we cannot help
calling it " patriotic" assistance, we shall always feel
ourselves under great obligations to the French Mi-
nistry. The vessel appointed to the service, called
the " Alexandre," accordingly was sent to Marseilles on
the day we suggested, for the purpose of conveying our
active and intelligent agent at Marseilles to Alexandria,
who undertook the entire management of the express
from Suez, and actually went to Cairo, and brought
down the dispatches himself to Alexandria. lie is con-
sequently at this moment, unfortunately for him, in qua-
rantine at Marseilles ; but we have no doubt he consoles
himself for his present state of restraint, by the conside-
ration that, notwithstanding all the sneers of the Times,
the Herald has succeeded in an experiment of a magni-
tude never before undertaken by any journal. As for
the insulting observation of the Times towards M. Guizot,
all we can say is, that if the Paris correspondent of that
respectable journal did actually apply to be allowed to
participate in the result of this experiment, we are quite
certain that M. Guizot could never have stated, as the
Times asserts," that he was determined to exclude not
only the Times, but every other journal which had ventured
to applaud Mr. Waghorn, from any participation in _
in
result of this experiment ;" and for this simpleson
viz., that our express was arranged so hastily, that we
be able
had no means of ascertaining whether we should
to procure even one spare copy of the Bombay Tinges for
the use of the French Government ; and our corre-
spondent in Paris actually
stated as much to M. Guizot;
so that we really do not understand how his Excellency
could promise to give any
_ information
to the Times or
to any other journal,
not knowing whether he would be
able to obtain ally intell
igence himself. It so happened
that we were able to procure an extra copy of the Bom-
bay Times, which was left in due course for the use of
the French Government ; but our agent at Suez had
great difficulty in obtaining it, and it certainly would
have been extremely unfair, after all our exertion and
expense, to have given that copy of the paper to the
Times. It is really with great reluctance that we feel
ourselves compelled to publish all these particulars; but
after the gross insult offered to the French Government,
and to M. Guizot in particular, we feel it a duty we owe
to ourselves to make known to the public the exact facts
of the case.
