QUEEN INTENDED VISIT TO
cgERI3OITACT. _

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGR inf.)
PARIS, JULY 10, 8 Am.

The Monitezr announces that her Majesty
Queen Victoria will proceed to Cherbourg on the
4th of August, on a visit to the Emperor.

The Journal des Debats makes the following re-
marks on the announced visit of Queen Victoria to
g The news of the approaching visit
een of England to Cherbourg has circu-
loCafhtteehdrebfOQuurrsome days past in Paris ; it is now con-
firmed, and we need not say that in our opinion it
is a most favourable piece of intelligence, since it
will completely dissipate the mistrust created for
some time past by the language of certain journals.
This unreasonable mistrust had unhappily crossed
our frontiers, and it was by no means rare to hear
our neighbours speak of a rupture with France as
a deplorable event, near at hand. More than one
enlightened Englishman, from continually observ-
ing the insinuations thrown out by certain journals
that France supports impatiently the English alli-
ance and that it requires all the firmness of Govern-
ment to maintain that alliance, bad ended by be-
lieving this statement without understanding it.
Certainly, if the honour on the interests of
France were seriously menaced, she would be
as ready to defend them against England as
against any other Power, while the recollection
of the past terrible struggles of the two coun-
tries would doubtless inspire France with ex-
traordinary energy. But au immense difference
exists between this very natural and legitimate
sentiment and the insane desire of a rupture with-
out a cause, or this blind and unjust hatred which
certain journals are often pleased to attribute to
the French nation. Their language is an insult
to the nation. We admit that there exist among
us individuals who believe that their birth or
aristocratic pretensions command them to feel the
disasters of Cressy, Poitiers, and Agincourt more
actively than the remainder of the nation, and to
exhibit a great desire to avenge them ; we also
possess zealous Catholics who consider a war with
Protestant England as the first of duties. But the
nation, which must be consulted ou a point of such
importance, does not in the least share these eccen-
tricand it would require better reasons
be convinced that a rupture with
England nriwotneold be otherwise than a fault and a
calamity." _ _

The Gazette tie Fralice has the following reflec-
tions on the same subject :
"Should this visit take place, it will excite a
deep sensation iu France and Europe, for the
presence of Queen Victoria on our territory, after
the dissensions produced by the conduct of our
ally, would have an immense signification. It
would be considered as the pledge of a new
alliance, founded either on an oblivion of the past,
or on a desertion by England of a policy hostile to
the development of our commerce and political
influence."

The iSimle expresses its satisfaction at the an-
nounced visit of Queen Victoria to Cherbourg.
"This interview between the Queen of England
and the Emperor would be a fresh pledge of an
alliance which has always possessed our sympa-
thies, and which, in our opinion, advances the in-
terests of civilisation. We have constantly resisted
the firebrand who raked up the events of the darker
ages to discover motives of mutual recriminations.
The idea of disliking the English because they are
Anglicans and partisans of liberty can only have
been hatched in the brain of the readers of a certain
journal whose influence, thank Heaven ! is sinking."

XEST_____NEW-S-er

We have news from Constantinople to the 3d.

It is stated that M. Thouvenel has insisted that
the Porte shall give in its adhesion to the demand
of the Powers which propose the revision of the act
relating to the navigation of the Danube by the
Conference of Paris. It is added, that, after the
Conferences, Fuad Pacha will go to London to
demand the evacuation of the Isle of Perim by the
English.
