superb harvest, of which nations will partici-
pate in the ratio of their own progress.

The French Papers of Monday are al-
most exclusively engrossed with their own
election matters. We learn from them that
government continues to make the most her-
culean efforts to secure an overwhelming majo-
rity in the new Chamber of Deputies. Con-
sidering the very limited nature of the law of
election in France, it is to be apprehended that
the efforts of Ministers will not be unsuccess-
ful. The same authorities mention that Ge-
neral RODIL had reached Badajos, on his re-
turn from Portugal, and was proceeding im-
mediately to march against the factions in the
interior of Spain. They say, also, " The
views of Russia are no longer a mystery ; she
is going to commence an indirect war. Columns
of Muscovites are filing off towards Persia ;
others are proceeding towards the provinces
adjoining Turkey in Asia. Since its last
campaign the Russian army knows its way to
Constantinople, through the interior of Asia.
At present, under a pretext that it is necessary
to maintain the throne of MAIINIOUD.
Russa is preparing to occupy the same ground.
On the other side, the Pacha of EGYPT is
anxious to recommence hostilities. Armaments
are preparing in the Mediterranean. The ,
English fleet has been reinforced, and the
French squadron will join it. England begins
to feel that she is being threatened by the ag-
grandizement of Russia in Persia and Asia
Minor. If once Russia were mistress of Per-
sia, she would realize her former project of in-
vading the East Indies—a project which has al-
ways been a favourite, not less with the Cabinet
of St. Petersburgh than with the Russian army
in general." These remarks of the French
journalist partake too much of an alarmist
character. So long as the Cabinets of France
and England are in possession of the slightest
modicum of common sense, they will never al-
low Russia to gain a conqueror's footing in
Constantinople. As for her invasion of India,
the idea is ridiculous. The very instant she
was fairly and fully embarked in a Turkish or
an Indian war, Finland and Poland would be
up in arms, to say nothing of that discontented
race of hardy mountaineers who inhabit the
vast fastnesses of the Caucasus and the borders
of the Caspian, and who for some time past
(if we may credit the reports of some late tra-
vellers) have been panting for an opportunity
to throw off the yoke of a despot whom they
detest and' despise.

New York papers have been received : their
contents are of no great importance, except in-
asmuch as they confirm the statements of the
increasing unpopularity of General JACKSON.
