do their utmost to stimulate the prejudices of both
countries against each other, we doubt the sincerity
of the anger by which they profess to be instigated.
The aggrandisement of their party, which they look
for in the confusion inseparable from an European
war, is their prevailing motive ; for this purpose the
French Republican and Legitimatist are allied against
the Government, with the firm determination, should
they succeed in their primary object, forthwith to array
themselves against each other. The defeat of the
ultima spes of this unprincipled and traitorous faction
is, therefore, a subject of triumph not merely to the
French Government, but to every sincere advocate
for peace throughout Europe. All the conditions of
the treaty have, it appears, been accepted by the
Emperor of Morocco ; and there seems to be no
ground for the belief that the one which demands the
expulsion of Abd-el-Kader from his territories will
be insisted on too literally, if he evinces the disposi-
tion to fulfil it so far as its spirit and intention are
concerned.

GLOBE.—While every one else is looking with
expectation almost amounting to confidence, that the
Government must retire, discomfited and dismayed by
the pressure of difficulties which increase and
strengthen from every point, the Government oracle
is expatiating with delight on the peace and safety
which encircle it ! The only possible danger that
can arise proceeds from the strength of its po-
sition. Strength may lead to confidence ; con-
fidence may engender satisfaction and indolence;
and thus, the very source of security may become
the cause of danger. Thus vaticinates the Ministe-
rial organ of the morn :—" We may be too confident
in our strength. With a large and growing majority
in Parliament—with an Opposition gradually waning
till there is danger of its sinking altogether out of
public regard—the Conservative party may become
satisfied and indolent, and fancy that there is nothing
more to be done. This would be a dangerous delusion."
%Ire may be excused if our view of the Ministerial
position differs in some degree from the flattering opi-
nion thus boastfully put forth. We neither think the
Government so strong as is here affirmed ; nor do we
think its policy so fraught with wisdom as the
enormous praises of our Contemporary seem to imply.
We are unreasonable enough to ask for proof. From
what quarter of the globe—from what department of
the Administration, can they draw the evidence on
which Ministers rest their claims to national confi-
dence ? India has been jeopardized by the Admi-
nistration of the Governor-General they selected
as their agent in that distant and critically-circum-
stanced empire ; and was only delivered from the
evils which perilled the empire, and the ruin which
threatened the finances of the East India Company, by
the firm interference of the Court of Directors, who
recalled him from his post. India was preserved from
great peril and danger, if not from the absolute estrange-
ment and confederated repudiation of British dominion
on the part of the native Princes—not by wisdom and
energy in the Ministers of the Crown, but in spite of the
absence of both in their policy towards that empire.
The firmness of the plain, practical men who constitute
the executive in Leadenhall-street, preserved the
British Empire in the East from the sad con-
sequences which would have ensued had the
" Brummagem Napoleon" continued to play his fan-
tastic tricks, and issue his mock Oriental proclama-
tions, to the alternate amusement and contempt of all
classes in that country. Lord Ellenborough's recal
—and the circumstances which preceded and attended
his recal—stamp his administration with disgrace,
and cover the Ministry which appointed him with
confusion. If we turn to the colonies, we find
dissatisfaction with the policy of Government per-
vading the population. Canada is unsettled.
South Australia sinks into poverty, and is loud in
her complaints of the neglect to which she is con-
, signed. New Zealand is doomed to linger under
the effect of unfulfilled promises of aid ; the Colonial
Secretary is condemned by a Parliamentary Com-
mittee of his own selection. The West India planters
both in the colonies and at home, are recording
their dissatisfaction with the Government in reso-
lutions strongly condemnatory of the alterations
in the import duties on the produce of the islands.
Ireland is a sleeping volcano. The fires which burn
beneath her surface may burst forth in a moment,
and convulse the nation with apprehensions, and the
country in conflagration. The entire policy of Go-
vernment in that country has been frustrated. The
escape of O'Connell, by the reversal of the judgment
and the consequent stultification of the protracted
prosecution, has covered Ministers with defeat, and
tilled them with dismay. The " difficulty" of go-
verning Ireland has now reached the verge of im-
possibility. Sir R. Peel's grand panacea has failed ;
and failed at the moment when complete success was
predicted from the experiment. What will Sir R. Peel
do now ? is on every lip,—and is depicted on almost
every countenance. The universal expectation is, that
he will acknowledge his incompetency to deal with the
difficulties, thus increased in number and multiplied
in force ; and will retire from the post he can no
longer maintain.

FRANCE AND MOROCCO.

TlMES.—Peace is re-established between France
and Morocco; and the island off Mogadore, which
the French had temporarily occupied is evacuated.
This termination of hostilities has taken place, upon
the conditions which the French have insisted on
from the first having been at last acceded to by the
Moors. Those hostilities commenced in consequence
of certain complaints on the part of the French of
the violation of neutrality which the Emperor of
Morocco had been guilty of in countenancing the
incursions of Abd-el-Kader. The French pledged
themselves not to enter upon hostilities with the
Moorish Government, provided certain conditions
were complied with. Those conditions were refused,
and the consequences were the demolition of the
fortifications of Tangiers, the victory of Isly, the
bombardment of Mogadore, and the occupation of an
islet in its harbour. In the interval since this last
lesson the Moorish Emperor has thought fit to alter
his mind, and sue for peace. And peace accordingly
has been granted on the very same conditions which
were offered before hostilities commenced. No ad-
vantage whatever has been taken by the French of their
achievements. Peace is established, and Mogadore is
evacuated ; and the territorial relations of France
and Morocco are exactly the same that they were be-
fore the hostilities. It is to be hoped that the
alarmists, who saw in the temporary occupation of a
little island the commencement of a whole system of
territorial aggression, which we should have been the
first to resist, and who proclaimed Mogadore to be
only the first mouthful of that French gluttony of
which the whole Moorish empire was finally to be the
victim, are now appeased; and that the event satisfies
them that their fears have been those only of the
imagination, and unnecessary. We have bE en told
over and over again that Mogadore never would be
evacuated, that France had made these hostilities a,
pretext for commencing a course of conquest, that
once in possession of Mogadore she would never leave'
it ; and have been well abused because we could not
see in this little island a whole kingdom, and would
not denounce its seizure as a casus belli. We said all
along, on the other hand, that France's only object in
commencing these hostilities was to get certain
specific and reasonable conditions complied with ; that
the bombardment of Tangiers and occupation of Mo-
gadore were only steps and means for procuring this
compliance, and that as soon as this compliance was,
given she would withdraw her troops. The event has
now decisively and incontrovertibly justified the view
we took, and we hope the alarmed and alarmist party
will be able now to enjoy that tranquillity and confi-
dence which, on this point, we have felt from the first.,
It is not pleasant, indeed, to see our predictions falai-,
fled, but patriotism, we have no doubt, will triumpl.l
on such an occasion over disappointed acumen : and
to discover a mistake must be a pleasing task,
the result of the discovery is, that an evil which was
apprehended does not take
lace,and that when

France, it is a matter of no ordinary satisfaction to
see two occasions of misunderstanding between her
and this country thus quietly removed ; to see the
affairs of Otaheite and Morocco settled. The one a
quarrel in which we had no direct concern, the other
insignificant and ridiculous initself,_yet either
might, under the treatment of quarrelsome and preci-
pitate Ministers in either country, have become pegs
to hang national displays of feeling and old antipathies
upon. But, whatever may be said of the internal
career of either the English or the French Cabinet,
the pacific character of their foreign policy is pretty
evident. We are not likely to be brought into a
foolish war by Lord Aberdeen or M. Guizot. The'
latter has had peculiar difficulties to contend against
in the tone of the popular Parisian press, which has;
been fuming and frothing, complaining and accusing,,
full of indignation and morbid sensitiveness alternately,
throughout the whole of the period just passed. We.
see now the temporary clouds that have hovered over
the two countries dispersed again ; and we cannot help'
thinking that the good understanding between the;
two Governments which has caused this dispersion is

ADVERTISER.—It will be in the remembilancs
of our readers, that a short time ago we were amse.ng
the first of our Contemporaries to announce, that- the
differences between France and England, which, Ibut
a few days before, had threatened to terminate in, an
open rupture, had been brought to an amicable &ad-
justment. Opposed as we always have been to ti ist
human carnage which usually follows the footsteps of
war, we congratulate both countries on the fact, that
all grounds of misunderstanding between England
and France has been removed, provided that, in Lord
Aberdeen's very natural and commendable anxiety to
perpetuate the existing peace, he had made no coo..
cessions to Guizat involving a sacrifice of the national'
honour. A full fortnight has elapsed since then, and
yet nothing has been suffered to transpire from
Downing-street which hes a tendency to throw the
least light on the conditions on which the differences
between the two countries have been adjusted. This
is not as it ought to be. It is treating the
English nation with disrespect. They have a right
to know on what terms the Government of Sir
Robert Peel has purchased the perpetuation of
peace. None can set a higher yaluc on that blessing
than ourselves. And yet the blessing may be pur-
chased at too high a price. Not, only may it
be purchased on terms degrading to the national
character, but under circumstances wiljch might
prove most injurious to the national interest.'. If it
should turn out that Lord Aberdeen has suffered him-
self to be overmatched by the French Minister, And
has accepted conditions which must have the effect of
lowering this country in the estimation of otht'
Powers, the fact must, of necessity, not only be mor-
tifying to Englishmen, but most damaging to English
interests. If; on this occasion, England has been
menaced or decoyed into the making of improper
concessions to Prance, the effect must needs be to
make France again endeavour to play the same game
with this country whenever the two nations happen
to come into collision. France will reason in her
own mind, that if she succeeded once in placing
England in a degrading and false position she may
succeed a second time. And should she fail of suc-
cess in her efforts by other arguments and repre-
sentations, she will urge the concessions now made as
a precedent in her favour. It is not, therefore, im-
mediately that the mischief of any improper concession
which Lord Aberdeen may have made to Guizot will
be seen and felt by this country. The injury And the
degradation are chiefly prospective. Nor will the ill
effects of such a concession (supposing it to have keen
made) be confined to our future relations with France..
Other Powers, taking courage from the success of
Gaizot in overreaching Lord Aberdeen, will be encou-
raged to try the same game, and try it with everyeenfi-
dence of success. We make these observations on the
assumption that Lord Aberdeen, in the adjustment of
the recent misunderstanding between France and
England, has not been sufficiently jealous of the
honour of the country, with the administration of
whose foreign affairs he has been entrusted. The ap-
prehension may be groundless; we hope it is. Un-
fortunately, it is not confined to ourselves ; it is
shared by the public. It is a general impression. If
there be no foundation for it, why should Lord Aber-
deen hesitate to scatter it to the winds ? Let Eng-
land but know the terms on which peace between her
and France has been preserved, and if there be no-
thing in those terms to compromise the national ho-
nour, the erroneous impression will vanish in' a
moment. Nor will this be all. If the Noble Lord
has achieved the perpetuation of peace between the
two countries without compromising the honour or
interests of England, he will be entitled to the lasting
gratitude of the friends of peace throughout the
world. And if he really feel that he is entitled to
this distinguished praise, why, we should like to
know, does he do himself the great injustice of not
receiving and enjoying it ? Why, especially, should
he lie under grave suspicions, when lie could so easily
dissipate them into thin air In either and in (Toy
case, the nation has a right to know under what cir-
cumstances, and on what terms, the recent serious:
breach between France and England has been healed.
It will not do for Lord Aberdeen to imitate the con-
duct of the Premier, and attempt to justify himself
for withholding the desired information, by talking a
series of pompous nothings about the " convenience
of the public service." That may be a very good ar-
gument for withholding information while negotia-
tions are going on ; but it is no argument at all, and
must not be received as such, after the negotiations
have been ended, and the conditions on which future
friendship is to be preserved have been agreed on.

LOSS of the BRITISH SCHOONER

ORANGE.

The New York Tribune relates the following particu-
lars of the awful sufferings experienced at sea b; the
crew of an English vessel :
The ship Vicksburg, Captain Berry, which arrived at
New York from New Orleans, fell in, on the 6th of
August, in lat. 26 27, lon. 87 46, with an open boat, con-
taining seven persons, and took them on board. Tbe'
proved to be the captain and crew of the Britisti
schooner Orange, which was lost on the voyage from
Jamaica for Matanzas. Their names were as follow:
Alexander Macdonald,, master; Win. Young, mate; Ed-
ward Cook, Richard Evans, John Brown, IVm. Roscoe,
seamen; and Robert Wilkinson, cook. They had been
thirteen days in the boat, which was only fourteen feet
long. When fallen in with they were in a very ex-
hausted state, and three of them had to be lifted on
board. The youngest of them,Wm. Roscoe, was totally
insensible, and although every exertion was made to re-
store him, he survived but about three hours, and at sun-
set his body was committed to the deep. During the
first night the mate was delirious, but has since, as well
as the rest, nearly regained his health. Their thirst was
excessive, and great care was taken in giving them water
at first, and it was not until the third day that it was sa-
tisfied, at which time each person had taken about three
gallons of water.
Captain Macdonald stated that on the 24th of July, at
about, two A.M., when in lat. 22 45, long. 85 4, his
schooner was capsized in a sudden squall from the east-
ward. The lanyards of the weather rigging were im-
mediately cut away, but the ballast having shifted, and
the sails and masts being in the water, it was impossible
to right the vessel. Fortunately, when she capsized, the
jolly boat being in the bottom of the long boat, turned
over, and all hands succeeded in getting into it, and got
clear of the vessel, which almost at the same moment
disappeared. They were then left to the mercy of the
waves, without provisions or water, or even an oar.
Part of one of the masts was made use of to steer with,
and the boat was kept before the wind till daylight.
During the day the linings and foot boards were taken
off, and converted into a mast, on which was spread the
captain's shirt for a sail, and the boat was steered in a
southerly direction, in the hope of falling in with land.
In the afternoon a barque was seen to the westward,
steering towards them, and when about two miles off
hove to for a short time, then hauled southerly for about
half an hour, but before sunset she again steered
westward.

On the 25th, there being no appearance of land, the
boat's course was altered to westward, with the hope of
falling in with some vessel. They continued this course
till the 28th, the wind being all the time eastwardly. On
this day, for the first time, it rained for about two hours.
By using two pairs of shoes—all they had among them—
and by wringing their clothes, they succeeded in getting
about half a pint of water each.
From this time till the 31st they saw no vessel, and
were without water. On the 8 Ist and the day following
it rained three or four hours, and they obtained sufficient
water to quench their thirst for the time. From the Ist
to the 6th of August they obtained no water, but on one of
those days they picked up a piece of bamboo, which was
found to contain four small fishes about two inches
long, which they divided among them ; this was all the
food they had while in the boat. On the morning of the
6th, three ships passed them, but it was supposed the
boat was not seen by them. They were, however, soon
afterwards gratified with the sight of the ship which'
afforded them relief, on board of which they received
every care and attention.

and that of the West

spot. Some time unfortunately was lost in waiting for
water, meanwhile the fire continued to spread through
the flooring to the counting-house ;
, thence it fired the
front residence. Many of the inhabitants were appre-
hensive that the flames would reach their own houses,
and they commenced removing, for safety, their furni-
ture into the open street. At length water began to flow
from the fire-mains in the vicinity, and a great stream
was poured by the engines into those portions of the
premises where the fire raged the fiercest. Much time
was, however, spent before any impression was made
upon it, but the firemen continued to work incessantly,
and at length got the mastery of the flames. The damage
done is considerable.
Lord and Lady Carbery have been placed in
mourning by the demise of his Lordship's brother,

his marriage with the daughter of C. Harvey, D.D„

EXTRAORDINARY PARCEL EY THE POST-OFFICE.
—On Thursday last one of the most extraordinary
packages, perhaps, ever sent through the same medium,
reached the post office of this city. This was no other
than a parcel containing some fifteen or twenty live
frogs. The contents of the parcel were discovered by
two or three of them jumping out at the post-office. The
frogs, it is believed, were of the Egyptian or some other
rare species, and were addressed to Dr. Buchanan. of
Moor-place, in this city. They reached their destini.

The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all

are all struck with its extraordinay beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex-
hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle tor the terrific
display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa..
COM Lake, to be fully appreciated.
