The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
papers : _

. .
" Two companies of the 12th regiment of the line, in
garrison at Havre, left that place on Monday for Eu,
where they are to do duty during his Majesty's residence
at the Chateau.

" A Brest letter of the 7th inst. announces the arrival
on the sth of the Nereide, from Port-au-Prince, with
the flag of Admiral de Moges. She sailed from Port-
au-Prince on July 28th, leaving there the Naiade,
and Styx. The store ship Bucephale also came into
Brest on the sth, from Otaheite, Valparaiso, and Rio,
which last port she left on July 6th, when the Isere and
Oise ships of war were in the roadstead. The crews
were in perfect health.
" A letter from Berlin of Sept. 4th, in the Universal
German Gazette, states that Lord Palmerston was ex-
pected there, on his journey from Ischl to Vienna, and
that Sir Lacy Evans had arrived there, to be present at
the autumn manceuvres of the Prussian army."
The following promotions have been made in the
Roman prelacy. M. Alexander Magni and M. Spi-
nello Antinori, both members of the Consulta, have
been appointed Auditors of the Rota. M. Paul
Durio, Second Assessor to the Criminal Apostolic
Chamber, is named Member of the Consults, and is
replaced by M. Pacca, nephew of the venerable Car-
dinal, who was Dean of the Sacred College. And
finally M. Albert Ruinart de Brimont is nominated a
Member of the Congregation del Buon Governo.

A letter from Constantinople, dated Aug. 21, in the
Universal German Gazette, says :--
" M. de Bourqueney interfered with much energy with
the Divan to obtain permisSion for the two Primates of
Servia to return to their own country, without any con-
dition. It is stated that he has succeeded, and that the
Primates will be treated in Servia with all the considera-
tion which their rank commands, and that they are to
enjoy the same privileges as their fellow-citizens.'

Tun STATE TRIAL PORTRAITS, 1844.—These por-
traits of O'Connell and his brother traversers, drawn
by Anelay, and engraved by Linton, from original
sketches, taken purposely for this edition, are the best
likenesses on wood of the great agitator and his
friends that we recollect to have seen. The steam-
press of Palmer and Clayton has done ample justice
to Linton's abilty as a wood engraver in the clear and
sharp impression it has produced of this plate. In
Ireland this sheet of portraits should command a
large sale.

FOOT Red.—Yesterday the 120 yards' foot race,
between Fred. Smith (better known under the cognomen
'of the Clapham Phenomenon), and George Wells (the
Running Waiter), came off on the Union-road, Clapham,
in the presence of upwards of three thousand spectators.
Smith was about to make his first debut in public.
The ground was measured, and Smith ran a sprint, and
immediately became the favourite in betting ; at the
atwent away at locomotive speed, Wells in the
rear.
Smith maintained the lead, and came in the win-
ner,s t r they
beating his opponent by two yards. Smith's triumph
was hailed with great cheering, and he bids fair of be-
coming au initlrMOUntable aspirant in the pedestrian
arena.

would perhaps have capitulated. But we have only
turned from their ordinary route the EMIUCROR'S re-
venues. We will not take any part of his territory;
we leave him his treasures ; we scarcely impede his
commerce; England is his ally. How will you have
him alter his determination ? And yet, even when
we should have redubed ABDERRHAMAN to accept our
conditions, all the difficulties of putting them into
execution would still subsist ; the cleverness and po-
pularity of AI3I3..EL•KADER ; the half savage indepen-
dence of the tribes; the profound divisions which se-
parate the races, and the want of power of the Eat-
MOE, would still remain ! It is easy to see how
much it is to be feared, from the very faults which
have been committed, that we are far removed from
peace." But alas ! according to another journal,
France has not the means to strike a blow. She has
neither allies, nor armies, nor fleets. She is the most
helpless state in Europe. Hear the evidence on this
subject of the Presse, a journal patronised, we believe,
by Queen CHRISTINA :
" 1. As to allies, she has none i! for, in order to
have them, it is not sufficient that it is proclaimed from
the tribunes that such is the fact—there must be a com-
mon end in view and common interests to be attained.
Where is there any end, or any interest, common be-
tween France and England? Whilst an entente cordials
may exist-of the most friendly kind between M. Guizot
and Sir Robert Peel, the rivalry which exists between
their agents is evinced in every part—in Spain, in Por-
tugal, in Greece, in Syria—and it is beyond the power
of these Ministers to prevent it. England has for allies
Turkey, which holds the keys of the Dardanelles, and
Morocco, which sends to England the money which she
has received from her at Gibraltar. What are we doing?
After taking possession of Algeria we hold it ; we take
cause with Egyptagainst Turkey; we bombard Tangiers,
and we burn Mogadore. At Otaheite our missionaries
are driven out by those of England, and one of the latter
is in his turn expelled by a captain of one of our cruisers.
Such is the conflicting character of our interests which
will ever prevent the two countiles coming to any un-
derstanding even on a simple treaty of commerce.
" 2. France has no navy, for the maritime superio-
rity of a state consists less in its vessels of war than its
commercial marine, for the latter is the groundwork of
the former. In the event, therefore, of a collision be-
tween France and England, where would be this grand
foundation of the former? Confidence in their chief, and
an enthusiasm in the cause they support, may turn
recruits into heroes ; but although an army be thus
formed, sailors cannot be so suddenly raised. No !
France has no navy. In the event of a war she would
not have enongh to protect her mercantile marine, our
colonies, and our coasts. One of two things must there-
fore be chosen. France must either change her allies,
or must-resign herself to swallow her shame in silence
whenever it shall please England to make her feel the
weight of her supremacy.
"3. France has no army—for an army can only
exist on the following Conditions :—That its strength
should be prudently calculated in proportion to the re-
sistance it has to overcome ; that the proportions of its
arms should be strictly observed and maintained : that
it should be so organised that in the event of losing the
first battle it should have a formidable reserve, which
might renew the contest with some chance of turning
defeat into victory.
" Where is the army which we could oppose to
Europe in the event of a coalition against us ? What
would become of the proportion of our arms if we should
be compelled to incorporate in our ranks the whole or
part of the mobilised National Guards ? Suppose that
circumstances should compel the infantry to be doubled,
where would horses be found to increase the cavalry m
like proportion ? In a word, it is the duty of our Go-
vernment to have an imposing army to make England
respect us, and a powerful army to make ourselves
feared on the Continent ; and we have in reality neither
the one nor the other. This is a proof of the inconsis-
tent policy of our Government, and to them we address
these reflections."
The Globe, M. GUIZOT'S journal, thus turns into
ridicule the wild rumours invented and propagated by
the Opposition journals :
" The Gazette de France has imagined a very nice
argument to prove that it must be true that the Cabinet
sent M. d'Aubigny to the Marquesas on the first news
of the lite events : it is that this report was published
in the journals, and never contradicted. How do you
like that? The Propagateur, de I Aube announces that
there is a white bear in the woods of Souleaux ; and, as
the Cabinet certainly will not get this news contradicted
it must be concluded that the white bear is really in the
forest in question. It is by the same kind of logic that
several journals present as true a pretended treaty con-
cluded in three days by Sir Henry Hardinge between
Mehemet Ali and England, and by which the English
Government guarantees to the Pacha and his descend-
ants the government of Egypt, without any power being
able to interfere in his affairs. In return, Mehemet Ali
has granted power to the English Government to act as
it might think proper for the protection of all the Eng-
lish subjects in that country. In addition, the Pacha
consents to allow troops to traverse Egypt, if necessary.
Railroads from Suez to Cairo are immediately to be un-
dertaken. In short, the Pacha is a complete English-
man.' All we can say is, that if the Pacha of Egypt is
a complete Englishman, they who credit such nonsense
are complete ninnies. This is an event of immense im-
portance,' cries the Gazette, ' and it leads to the suppo-
sition that equivalent advantages have been accorded to
Russia. It must not, therefore' be doubted that a treaty
between the Czar and England has been effected to ac-
complish without our knowledge the division of the East,
to change the balance of the Powers, and the rank
which they respectively hold in the world.' Thus, the
Pacha of Egypt is not merely a complete Englishman,
he must be also a complete Russian ! Only, since the
Gazette pretends that Russia has obtained the same ad-
vantages from Mehemet Ali, we should like to know
where the Russian troops are to go who are to traverse
Egypt."
