RIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
'IOM THE EVENING PAPERS 07 THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—Attention has been re-called to the Otaheite
sffair by the publication of the official correspon-
dence bstvveen the Charge d'Affaires of France, M.
de Jareac, and the French Cabinet, on that ques-
tion. The disclosures there made are so curious that
c return to the subject. Some little is said about
Morocco, but the Otaheite affair forms the staple, as
indeed, it was the most critical, point in the relations
between the two countries. The style of M. de Jarnac's
dispatches is clear and intelligible, and with far less of
ambiguity than belongs generally to displomatic com
munications. It exhibits clearly his sentiments as to
the great danger of the interruption of friendly relations
between the two countries. In plain terms, M. de
Jarnac thought the risk of war was imminent in August,
1844, fully bearing out the extreme suppositions of the
coett mporary press of that period. His expres-
sions are explicit enough. He " hopes the counsels of
eistlem and moderation may prevail," implying that
he :'ears greatly they will not : he speaks of " self- love
SO fatally engaged on both sides," of " lively iequie-
ele and sinister presentiments," " rupture on the
point of taking place," " feeling that a struggle was
inevitable for England;" and many other phrases of a
stmilsrly unequivocal character. So, then, we were, in
the estimation of the diplomatist who conducted the
affairs of France in this country, extremely near a de-
claration of war during the last year. Several re-
ties: ions arise out of this assumed fact. Under
the theory and practice of protectorates, as ex-
p. unded by M. Guizot in his dispatch of August
i 9, authorising the expulsion of any individual at the
virtual discretion of the authorities, and considering the
ardour of French naval officers and employes for advanc-
ing the national honour after their own fashion, a similar
ease may probably occur again. And in such an event
we canoot but think that a very awkward precedent
lias teen established by the Government—that, we
mean of waiving admitted claims without ob-
taining an equivalent. Our Cabinet seems to have
acted in the right direction, but to have at rived
at it by course injudicious in itself, and likely
to cause future embarrassments. The end and object of
its policy was the unexceptionable one of peace ; but,
att. r a h:ng silence on the part of France, Lord
Aberd,:en caught at the most distant approach to
collet scion on the part of M. Guizot, although quali-
tiei by so much objectionable matter respecting the
protectorate of the Society Islands. Let not our mean-
ing be for a moment mistaken ; none but the most
rash and criminal policy would have risked a war with
France on any grounds but those of absolute necessity.
But we should have liked more dignity and reticence on
the part of our Cabinet. The concession was the mini-
mum possible. Tnere was no abandonment of the elastic
theory of protectorates shown in practice to be absolute
sovereignty ; on the contrary, the right of removing
any individual " who may trouble established order,"
was triumphantly maintained in M. Guizot's latest dis-
patch. The description of benefits and blessings
of the French rule in the Pacific, stands is painful
cont.' adietion with every narrative, official or other-
wise, of what has taken place in the Society Islands.
Yet on the bare intimation of a disapproval of the mode
and plan of Mr. Pritchard's imprisonment, and the pro-
clamation of the 3d of March, backed by a hint at a
pecuniary indemnity to that gentlemat., Lord Aber-
deen hastens to proclaim the acquiescence of this
country in the proposals of France, rendering it im-
possible " that incidents of this nature, if treated in a
spirit of justice and moderation, can result in other
than an amicable issue." It is, no doubt, safer to err on
the Side of placable contentment than that of irritable
jealousy, in our relations with foreign Powers. Yet it
may well be asked, is there no medium ? Cannot a
statsaian, without captiously objecting to all offered
terms of concession, avoid acquiescing in such as
are ludicrously disproportioned to the cause of
complaint ? Is, in short, no juste milieu attainable
between a policy marked by rashness and one charac-
terised by timidity ? Our Ministers seem gto have
chosen the latter, and it is, as we said before, because
we firmly believe that abandonment of mational dignity
leads less sorely to the maintenance of pacific relations
with foreign Powers in the long run, than its due
and moderate exercise, that we object to the tone
taken by our Cabinet in its communications with
that of France relative to Otaheite. There seems,
indeed, little reason to envy the French their forci-
ble occupation of that island, which, to be main-
tained at all, must be so by continual exertions of
an armed force. Assuredly, neither commercial power
or military renoen are to be reaped in the distant field
of Oc,.::nia by such course as Messrs. Bruat and
D'Aubig,i,y are disposed t , take; but from England
some-thing more might well have been expected, both in
vindication' of the national honour, insulted in the per-
son, of its functionary, and in behalf of that oppressed
nation who have received the rudiments of Christian
civilization at our hands.
