(From the Journal des Debats.)

" The war of the East, the usurpation of Lisbon, the
projects of Austria with respect to Italy, fix the attention
of Europe, and especially of France. The King's speech
on the prorogation of the English Parliament has not at
all dissipated the clouds which obscured the political hori-
zon. The language of the English Government is pacific,
and measured even to timidity : it betrays the embarrass-
ments of the Administration of the Duke of Wellington.
Mr. Canning inspired England, not only with that confi-
dence which attaches to a superior man endowed with
the most eminent talents, but also with that confi-
dence which results from a long career passed in
high Civil Administration of the State. The people
of England had no fear, that led OR by his taste
and his habits, this Minister would undertake any
other wars than those which the honour and the interest of
the country might command. His illustrious successor
belongs essentially, and almost exclusively, to a military
career. His arrival at the direction of affairs was regarded
as the signal of wars near at hand, and this very pre-occu-
pation of the public mind 'las imposed upon the Duke of
Wellington a more circumspect course : it has given rise
about him to embarrassments and obstacles difficult to sur-
mount. One of his first acts also, was an indirect dis-
avowal of the Treaty of the Gth of July, by the blame cast
upon the battle of Navarin, and by the sort of disgrace
with which one of the heroes of that day has been visited.
Admiral Codrington, who had displayed as much talent in
this glorious feat of arms as audacity in the execution of
it,—.who, by unusual skilfulness, has been able to preserve
the union and the confidence of the three allied squadrons,--
has been deprived of his command, and recalled to Eng-
land. Mr. Canning had lent the support of the British
arms to the independence of Portugal; he had con-
strained the Unnatural son who had conspired against
his father, and shortened the days of a virtuous Mo-
narch, to seek an asylum in Austria. The Duke of
Wellington has brought back Don Miguel to Lisbon ! He
appeals to the opportunities and to the wishes of Don Pedro,
whose tribunal is at a distance of 2,000 leagues, for the
reparation of an offence committed against legitimacy and
public morality. The active intervention of England in
the affairs of the East would have been able, with the con-
currence and support of the new French Cabinet, to have
assured, several months ago, the independence of Greece,
and by those means to have deprived Russia of the only
motive which she could take advantage of for forcing the
passage of the Pruth, and marching to Constantinople. Its
uncertainties, Its delays, have obliged France to retard an
expedition which would have already forced Ibrahim back
into Egypt, and perhaps have extended the frontiers of
Greece to the Lake of Livadia, and included in then
Eubcea. If Russia, indemnified by the freedom of Greece,
and by the address of the slight infractions o' the treaty
of Ackerman, had pursued the course of her conquests, and
marched upon Constantinople, in the then evident intention
of establishing herself there, an English squadron of 25 yes'
sels of the line might have entered the Mediterranean, de-
stroyed the fleets of Admirals Siniavin anti Heyden, forced,
with the concurrence of the Turks, the Dardanelles and the
Bosphorus, annihilated the naval armament of Sebastopol
and the maritime establishments of the Black Sea. T 1"
Russian armies of Asia and Europe, deprived by this opera'
tion of all communication between each other, would have
been forced to stop. This is what Mr. Canning would
have been able to undertake—what he would have under-
taken; this is what the Duke of Wellington has not dared
to conceive,—not, certainly, because he is deficient in
talent and boldness in military combinations, but because
political combinations are of another nature, and require
boldness and talents of quite another description."
PAR,. Auc. 6.—The police visited, yesterday, Idit,
office of the Gazette de France, to seize those numbers of
our Paper which contained a review of the Session, hav-
ing previously repaired to the Post-office to detain those
copies which were about to be sent off.
We regret that this circumstance has interrupted the de-
livery which we always wish to make with the greatest
exactness. We hope that the decision come to will enable
us to send that very Gazelle to our provincial subscrihecs"
Should our expectations in this respect be disappointed, 're
will reprint the numbers, with the exception of the article
objected to.
(From the Messager des Chambres, dated Aug. 74
PARIS, Ann. 5.—A letter from Toulon of the end e'
July gives the following details :
We at length know what we are to think of the expe-
dition : positive orders have been received for the troops
of every description to be ready to embark. Their force le
to be increased by two regiments from Cadiz, which Were
landed on the 26th, after performing five days' quarantine,
by the 29th, which is in garrison at Avignon, and by the
42d, which has just been in garrison in Corsica. The es-
pedition will sail in two divisions : the first, which will be
the strongest, is to be embarked on the 15th of Augllst
the second, with which there will be a park of heavy artil-
lery, will be embarked on the 25th of the same month..---

sent commands in Corsica. One of his Majesty's ships is

departments of the service are appointed, and great activity
prevails among the troops.
" For these last ten or fifteen days we have been expect"
ing something new ; for after orders were received to sell
the provisions which were already collected, a counter
order soon arrived; and then another to double these pro-
visions.

" In the road there is only the fleet which has just
brought the garrison of Cadiz. It will not suffice to con-
vey half the troops, but ships are coming front Brest and
from the Levant, which will enable it to convey at once
5,000 or 6,000 men, with the necessary materiel."
The Journal of the Upper Garonne contains the follow-
ing article :—" Numerous arrests took place at Madrid a
few days ago, in consequence of the discovery of a con-
spiracy in favour of the Infante Don Carlos."
The Moniteur of Wednesday contains the following
paragraph :—" At the instance of the King's Attorney-
General, the Gazette de France, which appeared on Mon-
day evening at Paris, with the date of Tuesday, Aug. 5,
and the numbers of that Journal intended for the depart-
ments, bearing the date of Wednesday, Aug. 6, containing
an article headed, The Session of 1826,' were seized at
the Post-office."

The Messager des Chambres, in a long article on the
session, and the seizure of the Gazette de France,-has the
following sentences Never were fewer sentences em•
ployed to make so inculpatory a recapitulation." " Thirty
lines have sufficed for the Government to predict the
greatest misfortunes to the monarchy, and it declares, With
an audacity which excites at the same time ridicule and
indignation, that after what has been done this year, there
will remain but little to do in the next session to consuny
mate the re-establishment of the Republic."

The Earl of RoSSLYN Transacted business 0
the Colonial Office yesterday.
The trade of the West-riding of Yorkshire,
though not in a state of very high prosperity, is by 00
means in a state of extreme depression. The passing of the
American Tariff Bill, and particularly the early period o‘
which that Bill came into operation, had doubtless an ow
favourable effect on the woollen manufactures; and that;
effect was felt with considerable severity at Rochdale, ass.
in the baize and flannel district, of which it is the bes.
1n
The resettled state of affairs in Portugal, the war. ,f
south America, and the interruption of the commereei,
the East, from the existing hostilities between the Tor
and the Powers in the North of Europe, all prodoce,eass
unfavourable effect on trade, but that effect is felt with _
severity than might be imagined from such a combinot".°
of adverse circumstances; and if it should please Pr"..ld-
deuce to bless the country with a favourable harvest, and
thereby to keep up the demand at home, the prooPe;tis:ot
the manufacturers, for the approaching winter, ol
onraa,
ft
be less favourable than for some years past.—D
