SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM TILE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
STANDAR I).—We are not surprised at the dead
silence of the Times on the subject of the "mayor-
alty." A reasonable time ought to be afforded to
our Contemporary to digest the "great fact,"
that its influence in the City is not quite so
extensive as it has taught us to believe. It is
true that its campaigns against Mr. Alderman
Harmer and Mr. Alderman Wood were entirely suc-
cessful ; hut the cause must be referred to the
extreme weakness of the candidates, rather than
to any extraordinary influence exercised over the
citizens of London by our Contemporary. Such,
indeed, was the self gratulation with which these
successive victories were proclaimed by the Times,
that it seemed to fancy it had secured a pa-
tent for the rejection of any aspirant to the
civic chair whom it might desire to exclude.
This flattering delusion must, or ought to have
been dissipated by the proceedings of the
Common Hall on Saturday. After exaggerating the
clamour against the successful candidate by every
possible ;means—by denunciations of his fitness for
the office to which he aspired;—earnest admoni-
tions to the Livery in its leading columns; and
letters from the übiquitous Mr. Rock, under every
variety of signature, elsewhere ; it is obliged to
confess that its imperious mandate has been de-
fied, and its authority not only disputed but
set at nought. It is no part of our present business
to account for its suscess on the occasions referred to.
Suffice it to say, that the cases were widely different
from that of Alderman Gibbs, because the proof of the
correctness of the imputations by which the parties
were declared to have been disqualified had preceded
the allegations. In assuming, therefore, to have con-
trolled the decision of the Livery on those occasions,
our Contemporary was entirely beside the mark.
In the case of Alderman Gibbs its exertions have
far distanced any of its previous efforts to bear down
a victim. The labour was, indeed, worthy of the
difficulty of the task. It charges him with
refusing to submit his accounts, when the simple
fact was, that he did submit them to the only
parties competent to audit them, so far back
as December, 1843, since which time they
have been printed and published. It is
true that these accounts, audited by men of
character and station in the City, have been ques-
tioned by Messrs. Rock and Co. ; and equally so
that the Alderman has afforded every facility for
their examination, and that the Master's report
upon them would have been concluded, but for
the vexatious interposition of the plaintiff. INrell,
these accounts disposed of, what other charge has
the Times to allege against its victim ? It admits
that it has none. The gravamen of Mr. Alderman
Gibbs's offence appears to have been that he was
in Chancery ; whither he was forced and detained
in order that some excuse might be afforded for the
recent attempts of the Times to obstruct his passage
to the civic chair. Mr. Alderman Gibbs could
not repudiate the select vestry which had existed
from time immemorial ; but he proposed that the
question should be tried by a court of law, and
offered every facility to his opponents for bring-
ing such an inquiry to a speedy issue. Had this
proposal been accepted, that question would have
been decided a month ago ; but a decision which was
so likely to be in his favour was not to be thus pre-
cipitated. The object of his assailants was to induce
the Livery to believe that the charges which were
impending might terminate unfavourably to the
defendant; and that meanwhile the Livery should
" wait until he was cleared." The proceedings
before the Master in Chancery for the purpose of
establishing the correctness or incorrectness of the
Alderman's accounts, have been delayed in a similar
manner, and, as we must believe, for a similar
object. The Livery would, indeed, have been "des-
titute of all sense of propriety," if they had not at
once seen through the motives and objects of his
assailants. If, however, they have preserved their
self-esteem, they have lost the countenance of the
Times. We presume that they will have no difficulty
in adjusting the amount of the balance in their
favour. The result of this contest is useful
beyond the vindication of an upright man
from the imputations which have been cast
upon him; for it has shown that the influence which
has cowed so many worthy and respectable people
is a mere bugbear, which has no manner of existence,
so far as the City of London is concerned, save in the
imaginations of the alarmists themselves. he claws
of the would-be lion have been clipped, and, roar he
ever so loudly, his roar will never again be mistaken
for the " thunder" of the king of the forest. In its
present position " silence is wisdom."
GLOBE.—The selection of Mr. Alderman Gibbs,
by the Court of Aldermen, as Chief Magistrate for
the ensuing year, is made the subject of a triumph
by the Herald. Nearly two columns of exulting

comment are appropriated to the occasion. The
powers of the eulogist are peculiarly adapted to
the theme. The Herald, which has failed as an
organ of Government, may, possibly, acquire noto-
riety as the adopted advocate of Mr. Alderman Gibbs.
If " The Gibbs' Gazette" were to be introduced as
a second title, the thing might take, or rather be
" taken." it would indicate the special mission of
the journal ; and impart a kind of Aldermanic and
Mayor-like importance to its character. Whatever
appeared in its columns would bear the unquestion-
able stamp of truth, and be redolent of integrity.
The signature of the Alderman of Walbrook
would not give -it a more sure passport to public
confidence. . . • The Court of Alder-
men had an undoubted right to select which
they thought most eligible of the two Aldermen
returned to it by the majority of the Livery. We
are not disposed to quarrel with their choice The cir-
iumstances in which they found themselves were by
no means such as to render it of much consequence
to the character and influence of the Corporation, as to
which of the two Aldermen, to whom the Livery had
limited their choice, was selected for the office. It
was fortunate for Mr. Alderman Gibbs that there
existed strong grounds to justify the Court of Alder-
men in again passing by his competitor for the
Mayoralty. Had there been any other candidate
before the Court, we do not believe that even the
Court of Aldermen could have had the temerity to
elect Mr. Alderman Gibbs to the office of Chief
Magistrate, surrounded, as he is at the present
moment, with the most grievous prejudices and im-
putations. -Whether they be created solely by his
wrongheadedness, and imperturbable obstinacy, as
his friends maintain ; or whether they be the re-
sult of absolute 'breach of official trust, as some have
not scrupled to assert ; one thing is certain—the
dignity of the office will be obscured, and the effi-
ciency of its administration will be diminished. An
individual placed in a post so elevated as that of Chief
Magistrate of the metropolis of England should be
not merely free from the imputation of having
abused any public trust confided to his keep-
ing; he should have done nothing which would
seem to imply that he has not fulfilled that trust
with fidelity. Mr. Alderman Gibbs may be, and
probably is, free from the graver offence of malver-
sation of the parish funds of St. Stephen's, Walbrook;
but he has acted, with reference to the accounts of
the receipts and disbursements of these funds, as if he
were interested in preventing an investigation into their
integrity. For nearly twenty- years they had remained
unaudited. This alone, when discovered by the parish-
ioners, was calculated to excite suspicion. The legal ex-
istence of a select vestry in that parish was questioned ;
the neglect of the select vestry to perform the duties
which pertained to it, was beyond all doubt. The
unaudited accounts' of the churchwardens for nearly
20 years ; the deplorable state of dilapidation of the
parish church, one of the most beautiful edifices in Lon-
don, the chef d'ieuvre of Sir Christopher Wren ; and
the salaries of lecturer, organist, and other servants of
'the church, unpaid for two years—these glaring proofs
of neglect showed that the self-constituted " select" body
had proved their incompetency to promote the welfare
of the church, and to protect the interests of the
parishioners. When, therefore, the demand for
an audit of the accounts became loud and ge-
neral—when the parishioners urged their reason-
able claims to a fair statement of' the way in
which the large sums which had passed into
the hands of their churchwarden, Mr. Alder-
man Gibbs, had been appropriated ; and asked that
this satisfaction should be attained by the whole of
the accounts, with the vouchers, being placed in the
hands of a competent and disinterested accountant,
whose report should be conclusive—we do maintain
that Mr. Alderman Gibbs owed it no less to himself
than to the parishioners of St. Stephen's, Walbrook,
whose pecuniary interests were involved, and to his fel-
low- citizens generally, who had an obvious interest
in his reputation, as one of their magistrates, to sub-
mit his accounts to a full and fair scrutiny. He has
thought it consistent with his duty to himself, in his
private and public relations, to decline to do so. He at
length rendered an account, it is true, extending over
nearly twenty years, including multifarious items.
This account was audited by the " select ;" but the
examination of vouchers was dispensed with. The
Alderman-churchwarden refused to allow any pa-
rishioner, not being one of the " select," the slightest
satisfaction. He has thus given occasion for grave
suspicion that his accounts, so long withheld,
would not bear the light. The question of
their correctness has been made the subject of
a Chancery suit, as the only means of compelling
the Alderman to produce the vouchers, and other
documents, to attest their correctness. That the
Court of Aldermen had no discretion between elect-
ing Alderman 'Wood or Alderman Gibbs, may be an
excuse for their choice of the latter. But how humi-
liating must be this consideration to every one who
regards the character of the Chief Magistrate as likely
to influence the public estimation in which the Cor-
poration should be held, and the confidence which the
administration of the immense revenues intrusted to
its administration, should inspire I There will be the
usual civic pageant on the coming 9th of November;
there will be the: usual pigmy court at the Mansion-
house during the coming civic year ; and the Mayor
will bear the title of " Lord," and will be addressed
as " Right Honourable." Fah!

" Wo-rth makes the man ; the want of it the fellow ;
The rest is nought but leather and prunella."
Mr. Alderman Gibbs' right to the respect and con-
fidence of his fellow-citizens, and of the public ge-
nerally, has been placed in abeyance by his own
acts. HQ would, for once in his life, have acted
wisely had he voluntarily postponed his claims to the
office of Chief Magistrate until that right had been
established. Ile has taken a different course. After
his election by the Aldermen had been announced to
the Common Hall, " he left the Hall," the reports state,
"by a private door," without addressing the Livery,
as is usual. In this there was more of caution than
of courage. 'We hope before the day of the grand
inauguration banquet, the award of the Master in
Chancery will show that nothing worse than obstinacy
is imputable to the Lord Mayor elect.

WINDSOR, SUNDAY EVENING.
Very considerable alterations are now in progress in
the Round Tower, for the purpose of rendering increased
accommodation for the numerous distinguished guests
and their respective suites who have been honoured with
invitations to the Castle during the visit of the King of
the French to her Majesty. It is expected that several
of the King's suite will have apartments provided for
them in those portions of the Round Tower which com-
municate with the Devil Tower, and thence with the
private apartments on the south side of the Castle.
The marble statue of his Royal Highness Prince Al-
bert, executed by Wolff, which arrived at Windsor, last
month from Leghorn, and a statue of her Majesty, exe-
cuted by the same artist, which reached Windsor a few
days since, have both been unpacked, in the presence of
an officer of the Customs. These works of art, which
are of the size of life, and most admirable likenesses of
the Queen and her illustrious consort, have reached the
Castle perfectly free from injury: they have been placed
in the stores of the department of the Chamberlain,
there to remain until the return of the Court, to await
the commands of the Queen as to their final destination.
It is expected that they will be either placed in the grand
vestibule, in either corner, opposite to the statue on the
grand staircase of George IV. by the late Sir Francis
Chantry, or at the south end of the corridor.
Her Royal Highness the Duches of Kent is expected
to arrive at Frogmore House from Witley Court, the re-
sidence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager, on Wednes-
day next, the day preceding the anticipated return of
the Court to Windsor from Scotland.

On the announcement of the Liberator's intended
route, on his way to Derrynane, immediately prepara-
tions were made to receive him in the many towns
through which he had to pass between Dublin and Lime-
rick. From Merrion-square to George-street, in the
" City of the Treaty, ' was one continued ovation. In
Naas, Kildare, Monasterevan, Maryborough, Mountrath,
Borris-in-Ossory, the people decorated their houses with
laurels and flowers, and
.threw triumphal arches across
the road, whilst they poured forth abundant blessings
fur their friend, advocate, and champion. At Roscrea,
large meeting was held on the previous evening, over
which the excellent and respected pastor, the Very Rev.
Dr. Blake presided, and at which it was unanimously
resolved to present the illustrious champion with a
congratulatory address. From an early hour the
town presented a most animated scene, every
house was decorated with green boughs. " From several
houses various mottoes and devices were appended—such
as " Remember the 30th of Alay"—" The glorions.tri-
umpli of 7th September"—" Denman, Cottenhans, anti
Campbell, ceade milk faltha," &c. At four o'clock ex-
actly the Liberator reached the turnpike, accompanied
by his son John O'Connell, by Mrs. John O'Connell,
and Miss Staunton. here the deputation in their car-
riages, and accompanied by the splendid temperance
band of the town, received the regenerator of his country,
and escorted him into town with "merry music." The
address was read by the Very Rev. Thomas Blake, and
the Liberator's reply was such as went to the heart of
all who heard it. He spoke full of hope and joy, confi-
dent of success, and impressive of the necessity of re-
newed exertion and untiring teal—said it was his opinion
that a powerful federal party was forming in the state,
and would, probably, soon:develop itself—but added, that
we should rely on our own exertions, nor relax them for
a moment to make Ireland what she ought to be.
The deputation, in a carriage drawn by four horses,
with outriders, and followed by the trades, with banners,
in thirteen cars, proceeded at four o'clock to Toernevara,
where they awaited the arrival of the Liberator. At
Toornevara they were joined by the Rev. John Meagher,
P. P., the Rev. Mr. Burke, Messrs. M. Meagher, 11.
Kennedy, D. M‘Carty, and several of the active patriots
of that important district. The Liberator made his ap-
pearance about six o'clock, and at this time Toomevara
was literally thronged with enthusiastic crowds of Tip-
perary boys who cheered most vigorously, and exhibited
their delight in such a manner as the boys of Tipperary
are calculated to do on an exciting occasion of the kind,
I he Nenagh deputation immediately proceeded to the Li-
berator, who having received the address, made an elo-
quent reply, which was enthusiastically cheered.
Mr. O'Connell arrived at Limerick on Thursday
evening about ten o'clock. Crowds of people had assem-
bled as early as nightfall at Cruises' Hotel to greet him.
, On his way thither an attempt was made by the populace i
to take the horses from his carriage and draw t to the
hotel, which annoyed the Honourable Gentleman very
much. On the following morning he spoke as follows
from the window of the hotel:—" I have to complain for
the first time in my life of the conduct of the people of
Limerick. Last sight they took my horses from my
carriage, and attempted to draw me here. I was the
more displeased at this proceeding, because for the last
thirty years of my life I have set my face against it.—
(Hear, hear.) I have done so for two reasons—first, be-
cause a carriage is made to be drawn by beasts, and
I do not want the people to make beasts of themselves.
—(Hear, hear.) Instead of degrading their character, I
have been always labouring to elevate it, and to in-
pire them with feelings of self-yespect. It is, there-
fore, unbecoming and improper for human beings,
and especially for freemen.—(Loud cheers.) But there
is another important reason why I have opposed
this foolish practice—the danger that arises from
it. If I had consented last night to be drawn by you,
and one of you stumbled and fell, nothing could save
that person's life. We would be perfectly safe in the
carriage, but those drawing it would be in imminent
peril. I, therefore, tell you from this spot, I will never
consent to your drawing me like horses.—(Loud cheers.)
Having now scolded you—(Laughter)—l see you are
not in a very bad humour after a scolding—(Renewed
laughter)—let me tell you something to gratify you,
something of our triumph over the injustice of our
enemies.—(Loud cheers.) lam restored to you from
gaol.—(Deafening cheers.) With all their jury-packing
they could not keep me there.—(lmmense cheering.)
We have triumphed over them by the justice of our
cause, and by the good conduct of the people who, during
my imprisonment, kept the peace and observed the law.
Nothing could equal your conduct. I do not flatter you
when I say that there is not such a people on the
face of the earth. For your sakes I have endured
a dungeon, and for you I would go to the scaffold.—
(Cheers.) There is another source of congratulation
which you have. It is the adhesion of Smith O'Brien to
our cause. Three cheers for Smith O'Brien.—(This call
was responded to by a deafening peal.) Considering his
high character, his tried integrity, his rank, his religion.
and his connections, there is no other event which, in
the providence of God, is more calculated to advance Our
darling object.—(Hear, hear.) I'll tell you what is his
advice and mine to you. There are schemes in opera-
tion among the lower rank of the police, who
want to betray you and to get your blood for money.
—(Hear, hear.) They are endeavouring to promote
the worst and most noxious system that ever discovered
itself in this country—l mean Ribbonism.—(Hear.)
There is only one set of men I hate,:and that is the Rib-
bonmen.—(Hear, hear.) You may take my word for it,
and I believe I never deceived you—(Loud cries of
" Never")—that whatever fears the light cannot serve
the cause of Ireland. We, your true friends, meet In
open day, and seek no concealment, and you will follow
our advice, as you have ever done.—(Loud cheers.)
I have more to tell you. Repeal is coming.—(Loud and
long-continued cheering.) Many of the Protestant gen-
tlemen have adopted the federal system, and aro coming
over to our ranks.—(Hear, hear.) We hail them as
Irishmen and brothers.—(Cheers.) Thus united, and
persevering in our peaceful and constitutional struggle,
the day is not distant when we shall see a Parliament in
College-green, and Ireland—what God arid nature in:
tended her—prosperous and contented, happy and free.'
—(Loud and protracted cheering.)
The Liberator then retired, and in a short time after-
wards took his departure for Derrynttne, amidst the en-
thusiastic cheering of the people, and waving of
hand-
kerchiefs, &c., from the windows of George's-street.

Nothing can surpass the brilliancy of the weather which
we have enjoyed during the last four days. Autumn
has indeed burst upon us with more than the usual
charms which she wears in this her most favoured town.
The transparent clearness of the air, the warmth of the
sun, and the elastic freshness of the breeze snake up a
whole which constitutes this the most delightful season
of the year. And, to judge by our thronged prome-
nades and rides, our visitors arc eager to reap the full
benefit and delight which the season and the place offer.
Our town never wore a more animated or delightful ap,
pearanee, graced as it is by the presence of so much of
the rank, wealth, and beauty of the land.—Brighton

We announce with great regret, in another part of
The Sun, an awful calamity which took place on Sa-
turday afternoon at Haswell Colliery, about eighteen
miles from Newcastle and seven from Durham.
Nearly one hundred persons were in a few minutes
struck dead by one of the most terrible explosions of fire-
damp on record. But few particulars of the afflicting
scene have been received ; but, as may well be supposed,
it has created a dreadful sensation in the neighbourhood,
and spread lamentation and mourning among thousands.
Fatal accidents of a similar kind have lately been of
frequent occurrence, and the more blame, therefore,
is justly imputed to those whose duty it was to guard
against such destruction of human life. Are there no
inspectors of mines in these districts—no person
whose duty it is to see that the pits are safe, before
hundreds of unfortunate beings expose themselves
together to destruction ? We confidently trust that,
at the inquest on the bodies, this lamentable event
will be thoroughly investigated, and the blame
brought home to the negligent parties.

The Madrid Gazette of the 21st publishes the fol-
lowing royal decree :—" Considering the merit, ser-
vices, and talents of Don CARLOS MARTINEZ DE
IRUJO, Marquis of Casa Irujo, Duke of Soto-Mayor,
and Grandee of Spain of the First Class, I appoint
him my Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary at the Court of her Majesty the Queen
of GREAT BRIT.11)T. Given at the Palace on the
20th September, 1844." This nobleman, who is said
to b© one of the largest purchasers of national pro-
perty, had been charge d'affaires at the Court of
Lours XVIII. On the 22d Count BRES3ON gave a
grand banquet to the Cabinet Ministers and Foreign
Ambassadors, on the occasion of the appointment of
NIA.RTINEZ DE LA ROSH. to the Foreign Department.
The meeting of the New Cortes is now looked to
with considerable interest. The candidates for the
Presidency of the Senate were hitherto the Marquis
Of MIRAFLORES and Count DE FONTANCR.

Letters from different parts of Spain give deplor-
able accounts of the depredations committed by ban-
ditti. Among the sufferers are the Count BB VA-
L:CY:IES, Minister of France at Lisbon, who was
stopptd, on the night of the 15th, by five robbers, be-
tween Valdepenas and Santa Cruz de Mudela. He
was travelling by the Seville diligence, and he and
M. DB CSUTO, the Secretary of the Spanish Embassy
at Lisbon, were stripped of everything, including
16,000 reals end a quantity of jewels.
On the 21st the Three per Cents. were done at
17 at 60 days

; the Five per Cents., 20} for cash;
the Floating Debt, 65
without Interest at 6 at 50 days; and the Debt

The French Opposition journals express great
indignation against his Majesty Louis PIIILIPPE for
announcing, to the English and American Peace So-
ciety, his anxious desire to preserve, during his life-
time, the peace of the world. The National, the
mouth-piece of the war party, is in a towering passion
at the presumption of the KING, and concludes a
rabid article on the subjeet in these words :—" If
there is to be no war, what is the use of keeping up

of a new scheme of register for her MAJESTY'S
_
Navy,—to be enlarged and improved with a careful
view to the very serious hazards we have had, during
the last two or three years, to encounter, in
the absence of a practical adhesion to such
a scheme—and to the aspect of passing events
in the seas of the New World as well as of the Old—
and to the very possible, if not probable, contingencies
of the times that are fast coming upon us. Let this
course be taken on the vital question of manning our
navy, and we will venture to predict that we shall be
spared those offensive demonstrations of petulance and
annoyance by other Powers, which now, at feverish
and intermitting intervals, impose upon us, in a seasion
of peace, the onerous and invidious duty of making
imperfect preparations for war. Such a course
would, at any rate, have this moral effect
—that it would avoid the unseemly and
undignified evidence of hurry and confusion
succeeding to inertness which recent events, we much
fear, must have afforded to the "world without."
The conduct of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government in
reference to the British navy has been, until arrested
by the solicitude occasioned by the movements of
France against Morocco, an enormous blunder—a
most inexcusable dereliction of public duty. - One of
our Correspondents, a naval officer, has well observed,
in a short, but pithy, pamphlet, which we noticed not
long ago, " that the formidable expansions of the
naval strength of France have been uniformly coin-
cident with the contractions of our own, ever
since the Premier last entered office." It is
not too much to say, that in proportion as the flag
of England has been treated with an open disrespect,
or a more than suspicious neglect, in various parts
of the world, which had hitherto never been at-
tempted with impunity, the exhibition of our force
in the same locality, or the stations nearest adjacent
to them, has been scandalously disproportionate to
that of the offending flag there, and has incurred
imminent risks of signalising the native indomitable
courage and devotion of our gallant seamen and
their admirable officers only in useless struggles
against overwhelming material and numerical supe-
riority which, had they taken place, must have termi-
nated, in all human probability, in the discomfiture and
destruction of our countrymen. The days have been
in which a British Minister, who had allowed a
French fleet of seventeen men of war to be for weeks
together cruizing about the Mediterranean with only
one English man-of-war to watch them (for what
could she do more ?)—would have been impeached for
incapacity, or something worse. No fear of that kind
can enter any man's head who is cognisant of the
plausible. and flexible dexterity of Sir ROBERT. But
if we have weathered these threatening and once im-
minent perils for a time,—if, happily for the peace
of civilisation and the interests of the whole
human 'race, the two greatest and mightiest
nations of the globe are not at this moment
involved in a war of wholesale extermination,
for the most worthless of objects or the most insuffi-
cient of pretexts ; —we owe nothing to the sagacity
or the foresight, the prudence or the discretion, of a
Minister who founds his claim upon the confidence
of his countrymen on precisely these very qualifica-
tions. Sir ROBERT PEEL had formed a resolution—
and doubtless it was in itself a most salutary one—to
bring the public expenditure within the public in- .
come. To accomplish this obj'ect, he re-imposed
upon the country one of the most odious and op-
pressive of imposts, against which it had, under all
former Administrations that levied it, indignantly re-
monstrated. By the aid of this impost he realised a sur-
plus revenue; and it has been his intense anxiety to
maintain this surplus, at whatever present cost, at the
sacrifice of whatsoever future advantages, which has,
we must presume, suggested to him the reduction of
our magnificent navy to an effective force of that
almost contemptible amount at which it stood just
before the rising of Parliament for the recess. Well,
as we set out with saying, we heartily rejoice that
much has been done in the intervening period,
on the part of the Admiralty authorities, to repair this
suicidal folly. But we also repeat that very much
more remains yet to be done, before the exigencies of
the present and of coming times can be duly pre-
pared for.
In advocating such further additions to our naval
force, and administrative improvements of the nature
we have ventured to suggest, we are aware that we
expose ourselves to the imputation of advocating a
large increase of the national expenditure. Prima
facie this would appear a reasonable charge. It is
not so, in reality, and on a fair consideration of the
facts. It is one thing to maintain, in times of peace,
excessive and threatening armaments, at a vast ex-
pense to ourselves, and to the jealousy and disquietude
of foreign States. It is another, to maintain
those armaments on a scale of bare efficiency
—but adapted to the purposes of any ex-
pansion which exigencies—probable or even un-
foreseen—may render not only expedient in them-
selves, but indispensable to that attitude of prepara-
tion on which alone we shall be- justified in meeting
any powerful enemy. The difference between the
two scales of expenditure will be insignificant indeed
compared with the enormous outlay, to say nothing
of the inconceivable perils, which must be entailed by
any further neglect of all needful and timely measures
of a precautionary policy.

an army and a navy ?" The Constitutionnel sings in
r the same strain. After adverting to the reply, that
journal says :
" This is absolutely the complete theory of peace at
any price—professed with greater distinctness and ful-
ness than it has ever been before. War must never be
made, because, even after victory, more is lost than
gained. Dues not this mean that a nation is never to
take up arms, either to extend its territory, or to aggran-
dise its influence, or to increase its commerce, or to de-
fend its honour, or to maintain its rights, or even to
protect its soil from invasion ? This, without so intend-
ing, is tin apology for Jemmapes and Valmy made to
Europe. What, then, is the utility of a navy, an army,
or even of fortifications ? Let all our ships be burnt, let
' all our soldiers be disbanded, and sent to employ them-
, selves in general industry—let our ramparts be levelled,
and the soil they cover he given up to the plough. All
these are become a vain parade, a superfluous expense.
War can never have a reasonable object—for we gain a
loss, even when we have preserved our frontier, and de-
fended Paris."
The French authorities, we find, are resolved to
make the most of their victories in Africa. Grand
rejoicings are to take place in Paris before the depar-
ture of the KING for England. The grand basin in
the gardens of the Tuileries has been boarded over,
and on it is to be erected the tent of the EMPEROR'S
son, captured by Marshal BUGEAUD. The Messager,
an official journal, thus announces other ceremonies
which are to take place :—" The trophies conquered
by our land and sea forces in Algeria and on the coast
of Morocco are now all in Paris. Capt. Bouxr has
brought those of the fleet, and Colonel ETNARD has
arrived with these of Illy. If we may credit the re-
ports in circulation, a solemn reception is to be given to
these new monuments of the valour and devotedness of
our navy and army. His MAJESTT iS said to have
expressed a wish that they should he presented to him
on the 29th (to-morrow), in a grand review ordered
for this purpose, and then conveyed in pomp to the
Invalides, with a procession worthy of them, formed
by a considerable portion of the garrison of Paris, the
troops of Versailles, and the division extra ',taros,
amongst whom are to figure principally the corps
which have distinguished themselves in Algeria. We
are assured that the KING has delayed his journey to
Eu only for the purpose of giving, by his presence,
greater éclat to this military file. His Royal High-
ness the Duke DE NxM9uits is momentarily expected.
and Marshal SOULT arrived, it is said, this day. Thu 4
in this triumph, so justly awarded to our army and
navy, there will only be wanting those who led them.
The Governor-General of Algeria, the Prince Da
JOINVILLE, and the Duke D'AUMALE are still retained
on the theatre of their victories, but the echo of our
acclamations will reach them."

Some of the papers still comment on the letters
written by the chaplain of the Warspite, and the steps
taken by the captain to atone for the offence they
caused to the French squadron. With the exception
of one or two of the war journals, all of them regard
the conduct of Captain Wallis as highly honourable
and satisfactory. The following gossip relative to the
subject is extracted from the Aly,erie and the Constitu-
tionnel

" The origin of the scandalous letters published by the
Times is no longer doubtful. It was from the pen of the
chaplain of the Warspite that all the gall was distilled.
This chaplain has been dismissed from the ship, and sent
to England. Nevertheless, the officers of the ship have
received orders not to leave their ship so long as the
French flag is flying in the roadstead. The officers of the
Warspite have severely expiated _ this fault. We have
already noted the konourable conduct of Captain Wallis
in disavowing to our Consul at Gibraltar all participation
in these infamous diatribes. M. 800 o, our Consul,
a short time afterwards, returned Captain Wallis's
visit, and when he left the frigate was saluted
with seven guns. The French ship the Inflexible did
not return this salute, as she should have done, according
to etiquette. When the IMfiexible came into Gibraltar
roads, her commander visited all the ships at anchor
there except the Warspite. The English garrison at
Gibraltar was highly offended by this double affront.
The officers of the Warspite not being allowed to leave
their ship, could not go on board the Inflexible to enter
into an explanation. hut a deputation of English officers
was chosen, and the time for their visit was appointed,
when the Inflexible received orders to sail immediately
for Tangiers. We hope, however, after all that we have
stated to have been done, the angry feelings on board
our squadron will be dissipated, and that henceforth this
unfortunate affair, excited by an Anglican priest, will no
longer remain a cause of division and animosity between
the naval officers o' the two nations."

A letter from Malaga, of the 12th instant, in the
Constitutionnel, says :

" The captain of the Warspite has written to tho
Prince de Joinville a letter. in which ho gives him his
word of honour that the letters inserted in the Times were
not written by any of the officers of his frigate. This
brave old seaman, whom I hive seen shedding tears of
mortification, is right. The author of these infamies is
not an officer of the Warspite, but the chaplain. The
Prince has published an order of the day, in which he
forbids the ♦essels of the French squadron from touching
henceforward at Gibraltar."

The Gazette de France of Friday makes the fol
lowing announcement :

"We are assured that the terms of the new loan
were decided upon in the Council of Ministers this
morning, and that the contract is to take place between
the 6th and 10th of October. All the Receiyers-General
are to be apprised of this decision by letters from the
Minister of Finance."

The subjoined are additional extracts from the

papers :

"On the 17th instant, Marshal Bugeaud addressed to
the general officers and colonels commandant of divisions
in Algeria a circular, containing several judicious re-
commendations and instructions relative to the conduct
to be adopted towards the natives, and for the general
government of the country. The character of this cir-
cular, which is of considerable length, may be judged of
by the following extract :
" ' After conquest, the first duty, as well as the first
interest of a conqueror, is to govern the conquered
people well and justly ; this. is recommended alike by
policy and humanity. We have caused our strength and
our power to be felt by the tribes of Algeria ; we must
now make them acquainted with our goodness and justice,
and make them prefer our government to that of the
Turks and of Abd-el-Kader. We may thus hope to
induce them to bear with our domination in the first
instance, and to accustom them at length to identify
themselves with us in such a way as to form only one
people, under the paternal government of the King of
the French.'"

A letter from Saragossa, of the 17th, says—

" Two days ago, forty armed men, all in uniform as
carabincers, and having their captain at their head, pre-
sented themselves close to the town of Castillo, on the
road to Madrid, and, after halting for a moment, took
the road to Navarre. They did not stop any persons on
the road, but at a distance of about a league and a half
teem the town, they plundered a country house of all
money and linen that they could find in it."
The Prince de MICTTERNICII left Trieste on the
17th, on his return to Vienna.

A Palermo journal of the 4th announces the depar-
ture fur Germany of the Duke de Sauk". DI FALCO,
charged with the negotiation of a treaty of commerce
between the kingdom of Naples and the German Cus-
toms' Union.

The Augsburgh Gazette publishes a letter from
Athens of the 10th, stating that the elections had ter-
minated in the gm:test order, and that the Chambers
were to be opened on the 19th.
