. tional jealousy. We attach little importance to the
statements contained in the article, but give it as a
new specimen of the bad feeling which pervades that
journal. " Lord ABERDEEN," it says, " did not ap-
pear at Windsor on the Bth. He was not at Ports-
mouth with the Duke of WELLINGTON, nor at Wind-
, sor with Sir ROBERT PEEL. The British Foreign
Minister accompanied Queen VICTORIA to the Chateau
d'Eu, when she came to partake of Louis PinurrE's
hospitality, but now that Louis PHILIPPE is the
guest of the Queen of ENGLAND, where the presence
of M. GUIZOT would appear to call for that of Lord
ABERDEEN, the indispensable Minister is absent on
the first day, and on the second only appears in
company with Sir ROBERT PEEL, Lord LYND-
HURST, and the Duke of WELLINGTON. This reserve,
which we believe to be systematical, has been
differently explained. The following is the probable
version. It is known that a sufficiently grave diffe-
rence of opinion showed itself in the English Cabinet
with respect to the events in Otaheite. Lord ABER-
DEEN and Lord STANLEY were of opinion that Eng-
land should accept the satisfaction offered by M.
GUIZOT : Sir R. PEEL and the Duke of WELLINGTON,
who were more compromised in that affair by the
speeches in Parliament, thought the terms offered
were not sufficient. M. GUIZOT got them to agree
by promising an indemnity to Mr. PRITCHARD. Not-
withstanding the temporary re-establishment of
good feeling, two tendencies of very different natures
have shown themselves stronger and stronger with
regard to France in the English Cabinet. Lord
ABERDEEN is for concessions. He thinks that to be
the only way of preserving in the French Cabinet
the representative of England—M. GUIZOT. Sir R.
PEEL, on the contrary, considering the attacks upon
the part of the Whigs to which these concessions
would expose him, will not make the smallest sacrifice
to the safety of the man of Ghent. Like a true
Englishman, he looks first, and, above all other con-
derations, to his own safety. It has been often said
that the KING's visit to 'Windsor had a political ob-
ject. There is some truth in the report. Not that M.
GUIZOT has gone, as has been reported, to solicit the
recognition of our sovereignty in Algiers. That
would be to throw doubt upon our rights, and to en-
courage foreign powers to trample upon us. In
spite of our abasement M. GUIZOT cannot commit
that fault, which the presence of Louis PHILIPPE in
England has still further aggravated. We believe
rather, as is believed in London, that M. GUIZOT is
soliciting a modification of the treaties which regulate
the right of search, while he declares that it is neces- ,
sary in order to give him a supportable attitude next
session. Even if England were to yield upon that
point, the Minister of Foreign Affairs would not rise
in our opinions. No success can do away with dis-
grace : should M. GUIZOT obtain a modification of
some clauses in the right of search treaty, every one
will know that he has already paid the price by the
humiliating compromise to which the Otaheite affair
has given rise, and by the ridiculous and foolish
treaty 'of Tangiers, which the English themselves
have laughed at. But M. GUIZOT will obtain nothing.
For fear that Lord ABERDEEN should show himself
well disposed, Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Duke of
WELLINGTON keep him at a distance. The more the
French Government endeavour to give a political
colour to the Kiira's visit, the more the English
Cabinet labours to strip it of that character, and to
reduce it to an exchange of politeness between Sove-
reigns."
The accounts received at Paris from Madrid, are
anything but favourable ; and some serious com-
motion is evidently anticipated by parties who should
be well informed. The Presse, generally supposed to
be influenced by the QUEEN -MOTHER, contains the
following :
" It is impossible not to admit that the last accounts
from Spain are of a most serious character. The mo-
derate party, which had no enemies to combat, and
which had disarmed, not the hatred of all parties, but
their hands, and which was the most difficult matter to
accomplish, is on the eve of dividing amongst themselves.
A report is current at Madrid that there is an opposition
being organised against the Ministry, or rather against
certain members of the Ministry, at the head of which
is placed General Narvaez, who, it is said, will be com-
missioned to form and to preside over the new Cabinet.
This report, the truth of which was at first doubted, has
lately acquired a certain strength, and forms almost the
sole subject of conversation amongst politicians. Those
who are acquainted with General Narvaez will find it
difficult to believe the accusation made against him, but
will consider it as a calumnious invention of his enemies.
, Under existing circumstances a change of Ministry would
necessarily induce a change of policy, and such a Llianm.
would be a censure on the course pursued by the mode-
rate party since their advent to power. The fact is,
theretore, evidently impossible. Neither can we corn.
prebend what more distinguished statesman than Martinez
de la Rosa could be found to fill the office of Minister for
Foreign Affairs ; who could be found more active and more
firm than M. Tidal for the Home-office, or a more effi-
cient or honourable Minister of Finance than M. Mon.
We are aware, however, that on two questions—the re •
form of the Constitution and the suspension of the sale of
the property of the clergy—the most enlightened and most
conscientious of the moderate party are divided. The
first of these projects has received the formal approba-
tion of the party represented by the journal, the flerahlo.
There are others who consider that there is something
more pressing than to change the preamble of the Con-
stitution. This party is represented by the journal, the
Globo. Whatever may be the result of the measures
which have caused this deplorable division it is not the
work of any particular measure, but of the entire Cabi-
net. The responsibility of those acts does not attach
more to M. Pidal than to General Narvaez. We shall
soon know the truth of those reports. The Cortes are
assembled, and there each party may freely explain
themselves."

We have given, in another part of the paper, an
official dispatch from Captain BRUAT, describing the
combat at Mahahena, in Otaheite. It appears that the
dispatch had already been published by Captain
BRUAT, in the first number of a journal which he
had established at Passaile, under the title of
l'Ociane Francaise. It will be seen from the report
that the French Captain attributes no blame to the
English missionaries, but, on the contrary, admits
that they did everything they could to pacify the
natives, but without effect. The Constitutionnel,
which first published the dispatch, gives extracts from
private letters blaming the conduct of the Commander of
the Basilisk, an English vessel of war, with other details,
but they are not entitled to credit. M. THIERS and
his correspondents generally see everything done by
the English in a false light. We are, therefore, a
little puzzled to account for the insertion of the fol-
lowing curious paragraph :—" It appears that Com-
mandant BRUAT has had to condemn and punish seve-
ral of our soldiers and sailors, for deserting and join-
ing the Otaheiteans, at the battle of Mahahena. One
of the sailors has been shot. He was probably the
ringleader, for petitions for pardon of the rest have
been presented to the Governor." We are glad
to find that the correspondent of the Constitutionnel
had not discovered one Englishman among the
deserters. It is stated that " the Charte, Uranie,
Reine Blanche, frigates, and the Boussole and Em-
buscade, sloops of war, have been ordered to quit the
Pacific and return to France." It is not improbable
that M. BRUAT himself may be ordered home. The
Journal des Debuts thus expresses surprise at his irre-
gularity in publishing the document in question :
" We knew that there was a Moniteur at Paris, in
which the Government inserts under its responsibility
whatever it judges proper ; but we were ignorant, at
least a few days back, that there was in the Society
Islands another Moniteur, in which the agent of the Go-
vernment, under his own responsibility, publishes re-
ports addressed to his superiors. Captain Bruat is at a
distance, he has fought courageously for his country,
and we should be sorry
to say anything that might
prove injurious to his personal consideration; but
it will be allowed to us to appreciate the de-
gree of discretion which he exhibits in the exer-
cise of his official functions. We cannot dissemble our
extreme surprise that the King's agent at Otaheite
has thought it his duty to take on himself to publish,
without authorisation, as far at least as we are aware,
reports addressed to his superiors, and which his Govern-
ment alone had the right to dispose of. These are prin-
ciples which it is indispensable to maintain in all their
extent, because they are essential to the regular exercise
of the Executive power. It is impossible that affairs can
be transacted in this way. If the representatives and
Governors of
delegates of a Government in all parts of the world, if
Ministers,pthreovAinmcebsastosaodkoirtsintothr ei Consuls, and
heads to maketheir respec-
tive residences as empires within an empire, every kind
of administration would be at an end, and the Executive
power would be delivered up to anarchy."

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Between the hours of ten
and eleven o'clock on Saturday night, a man named
James Isherwood was knocked down near the Manches-
ter and Bolton Railway station, in Bolton, by three men,
supposed to be Irish labourers, who stole from his per-
son while he was down a patent lever silver watch, toge-
ther with about ss. in silver. The police are engaged in
endeavouring to trace the robbers.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A good looking woman, named Sarah Smith, was
placed before Mr. Jardine, charged with stealing the
sum of N. 10s. from the person of Mr. Myers, of Craven-
buildings.

The prosecutor stated that ho was going along the
Strand last night, when the prisoner came up to him and
spoke to him. He told her to go away, but she would
not, and walked by his side for about twenty yards.
When he got to Drury-court, he felt the prisoner's hand
in his pocket. He immediately felt for his purse, and on
examination he found that one end of his purse had been
emptied, and 9/. 10s. gone. He had had 121. 103. in his
purse, but he found three sovereigns lying loose in his
pocket. Upon discovering his loss he called a policeman
and gave the prisoner into custody. The money was not
found upon the prisoner.
Mr. Wontner, who appeared for the prisoner, cross-
examined the prosecutor, but he did not shake his
evidence.

The policeman who took the prisoner into custody
searched the place where he took the prisoner in charge,
but he could not find the money.
Mr. JARDINE committed the prisoner for trial.

MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.)
John Thumnzond, a journeyman baker, was charged
with the following outrage on the police :
Police-constable,-19 E, found the defendant yesterday
afternoon in 'Well-street, Oxford-street, in a beastly state
of intoxication. Ile was throwing half-quartern loaves
at a dog, and offering to fight every one that passed
along the street ; he soon congregated a mob of 200 or
300 persons. He grossly assaulted 19 E and two other
constables, one of whom he kicked in a dangerous part
of this person, and stated, whilst he was inflicting the
blow, " that he would ruin him for life."

The defendant's mistress and his brother gave him an
excellent character.

Mr. RAWLINSON fin d him for being drunk, and 20s.
for each assault, in all 4/.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 12.—The King, who was expected to
return from Ardenne this evening, will not be back
before Monday.
A provincial committee has just been formed at Ant-
werp, with a view to co-operate by subscriptions on the
completion of the cathedral of Cologne. A general as-
sembly of the subscribers will be convoked some time
hence, to constitute the committee finally, and to com-
municate immediately with the committee at Cologne.
A brilliant fete is preparing at Antwerp, to celebrate
the first anniversary of the opening of the railway by
which the Scheldt is connected with the Rhine. We
(Courrier Belge) have learnt from different quarters, that
among the persons invited there are some who endeavour
to give to this fete a false signification, or to exaggerate
its importance. We fear that on this occasion false com-
ments and malevolent indications may again get the
better of good sense. We are perfectly convinced
(but will every body be equally so) that we cannot do a
worse service to Belgium than to make it believed abroad,
that it may become a theatre where the political influ-
ence of several nations may contend for victory. With
the present system of publicity, where the slightest facts
are re-echoed from one end of Europe to the other, some
individuals ought not to be permitted to endanger the
welfare of a city, still less of a whole country. Now,
in Belgium, a great number of good citizens and intelli-
gent men have rejoiced at the opening of the railway,
which enables Antwerp to communicate, iu a few hours,
with Cologne, and thus to open to its merchants a part of
the German market. If this is what is to be celebrated
by a banquet on the 13th of this month, it is well, but if
it is meant to open away for political tendenciesancl syna-
pathies in favour of this or that Government, if Germany
is not true, that the great:majority in the country may
too energetically disavow such an object ? However,
we point out the danger because it exists. Last year
on a similar occasion, words were spoken which
were excusable in the excitement caused by the great
event that had just taken place, but were nevertheless to
be regretted. Since then everything has been better appre-
ciated. It is understood that neither a railway or a
treaty can change the intention and the interests of a
people. The greatest commercial market of the country
is France ; in politics France is our most sincere ally ;
this is known at Antwerp as well as elsewhere. And if
an answer for it beforehand, that nothing will be said
during or after the banquet, which may be interpreted
by malevolence hostile to France, we sincerely hope that
the event may not prove to have had false prophets.

EXTRAORDINARY QUICK GROWTH OF WHEAT.—
On the Ist instant a field of wheat, which had been
previously pickled with diluted sulphuric acid (contain-
ing sib. concentrated acid to the acre) was sown at Mr.
