Other journals, however, take a different view of
he results, and infer that before the EMPEROR yields
to the conditions of France, more battles and more
bombardments must take place. The National which
hates peace in every shape and in any quarter, thus
attacks the Ministry for leaving the work half done to
please England :
"After the victory you retreat as you would have done
after aflefeat. In place of leading your army against the
enemy, you.withdrew it. In place of occupying his fron-
tier, you return to your own. What do you expect that
he should fear, unless he should become afraid of a
shadow ? By declaring that under no circum-
stances would France make a war of conquest
against Morocco, that she regarded as absurd and
insane, not only all extension of the Algerine terri-
tory, but all durable occupation of any portion of the
Moorish coast—that after the war, as well as previ-
ously, the French Government would never require from
Morocco, any cession of town or territory—that the
same motives which dictated this declaration still existed,
and that her word of honour was publicly pledged to
that effect in the face of Europe,—in making that decla-
ration, the Government had acted directly against its
object. There are but two modes of conquering an
enemy— to do him injury, or to cause him to fear you.
It was precisely because you were determined not to in-
jure the Emperor of Morocco that you ought to have
frightened him. This extension of our territory, this
permanent occupation of the towns, should have been
suspended over his head as the inevitable consequence of
encouraging our enemies on his frontier. It was neces-
sary to make him comprehend that the consequence of
hostilities might be not the easily repaired loss of some
millions, but the inevitable loss of his empire. But no
whilst our soldiers and seamen were courageously fulfill-
ing their duty on the double frontier of Morocco, your eyes
were fixed in another direction. A single idea
England
against you, which was to secure
against a contingency which did not regard
her, to give to her implacable jealousy a pledge
of a word of honour which she had neither the right to
inquire nor to solicit. And it is thus that, in order to
avoid some immediate difficulties, yon have spontaneously
excited others more considerable. The war is not con-
cluded, and the Emperor, who is aware that in any case
you will not attack him before next spring, will probably
not hasten to grant you what you demand. In this
position, what will you do ? Will you evacuate the
island of Mogadore, according to the word of honour you
have given ? And then the bombardment will have been
a mere useless cruelty, which will give the Moors a right
to curse and mock you, or you will have violated your
sacred engagement—you will have violated your word of
honour—you will indefinitely have prolonged is occupa-
tion which ought to be but temporary ; and n that case
you will have admitted that England had a right to
occupy herself with a war so important for her, and you
will find in your road that systematic malevolence, those
exigenc'es, and those threats, before which you at pre-
sent fly."
Several of the journals express great indignation at
what they regard the ungrateful return made by
Belgium for all the blessings conferred on her
by France. In reference to the late commercial
treaty which the former country has entered into
with Germany, the Quotidienne says:—
" The commercial tie which is about to bind Belgium
to Germany will, if it takes place, become a political
bond, and the powers who condemned Belgium to neu-
trality will willingly revoke their sentence as soon as
they think that they can make Belgium what they did
in 1815—the advanced guard of Germany against France.
Certainly it was not with this view that the Revolution
of July bestowed upon her daughter, Belgium, men and
money with so much prodigality ; it was not to this end
that the Chamber of Deputies endowed the Princess,
who was to be a bond of peace between the two people;
but Belgium looks rather to the future than to the past,
and seeks for guarantees in Germany, because the alli-
ance with and protection of the Government inflicted
upon us inspires her with no more confidence than it
acquires from the other States. This is daily revealed
by facts the weakness of the policy which presides over
our destinies ; every day our isolation is drawn closer
and closer, and the circle becomes more and more nar-
row. Can we then be astonished that our rulers should
be attached to England ; for if England should abandon
them what would remain to them?"
The National is equally indignant :
"We cannot blame Belgium for having thus attached
herself to Germany. The little kingdom of Leopold
cannot exist without the support of others. Severed
from Holland, she had to choose between Germany and
France ; and since France, from fear of offending foreign
Powers, and giving dissatisfaction to the magnates of her
own commerce and !ndustry, seemed to be afraid of form-
ing a closer connexion with her, she was forced to throw
herself into the arms of Germany. We have long fore-
seen this result ; but it is nevertheless to be deplored. It
has been, indeed, a great fault thus to have allowed the
port of Antwerp to become

federation, of which Prussia the chief. If we could
have granted to Belgium the same advantages as the Zoll-

tical interests of France, provided her cloths, her coals,
and her iron be not exposed to any serious competition.
It is the same party which appropriates all the railroads,
and monopolises the power of domination in all things.
Let Antwerp become a Prussian port—it will cause no
concern to this party. It would as willingly give up Dun-
kirk and Bordeaux to the English, if, by doing so, it
might hope to see the coal mine and railroad shares
quoted on 'Change at higher prices."

THE ROYAL FAMILY IN PERTHSHIRE.-Our
readers in this quarter arc aware that rumours have of
late been prevalent that a royal visit was intended to the
ancient Castle of Blair, the venerable seat of the noble
family of Athole, and in confirmation of these—or at
least that visitors far beyond an ordinary class were
early expected—most extensive repairs and improve-
ments have been in hasty progress for nearly a month
past, in which a great number of artizans of every sort,
and from all quarters, have been busily employed. We
learn, also, that a number of Lord Glenlyon's followers
have again been in training to give her Majesty a suit-
able reception, and the gillies and foresters are all in
readiness. The game of the moors and the fleet denizens '
of the forest have been strictly preserved, and every-
thing will be in the highest order for the enjoyment of
the sports peculiar to the Perthshire mountains. The
royal party could not have chosen a field in her Majesty's
dominions where the chase in all its varieties can be en-
joyed to greater perfection. The great forest of Athole
abounds with the antlered tribe of every class. Glentilt,

the Duke of WELLINGTON that what the French Go-
vernment proposes is sufficient humiliation."
The Opposition journals will, however, soon know
the result of these deliberations, from the speech o
one of the Ministers, and then the National, the Con-
stitutionnel, the Siecle, and journals of a similar spirit
will raise an outcry against M. GuizoT sufficient to
shake him out of his place. They will assert France
has been sacrificed, the " stranger" has yielded to the
menaces of England, and nothing is left for the country
but humiliation and disgrace.
There is no fresh intelligence in these papers from
the Prince DE JOINVILLE, but we find in the Consti-
tutionnel an extract of a letter from an aide-de-camp
of the Prince to the French Consul at Cadiz, dated on
board the Pluton, August 17, which is in these
words :
" The Admiral has received orders to keep possession
of the island of Mogadore, in which we ha►e placed a
garrison. The possession of the island is equivalent to
that of the city, and fulfils all our de.sires, insuring us a
guarantee for the complete satisfaction of all our wrongs.
The city will remain in a state of blockade, and conse-
quently the Emperor will be deprived of the large revenue
he derived from its customs, which is wounding him in
his most sensitive part. The campaign is thus brought
to a close."
