to a contest with England. Count MoLz
said France could make no concessions to England
about the affair of " one PRITCHARD." The whole
Chamber seemed unanimous, and none could have said
what would have been the result had M. GUIZOT an-
nounced that he would express sincere regret for the
treatment of PRITCHARD, and grant him an indemnity
—conditions which the French Government now have
admitted to be just. When the bad passions of na-
tions are roused-, the small still voice of wisdom is lost
in the turmoil. LOUIS PHILIPPE seems not aware of
this indubitable fact , and he is still less aware that
all the other nations of Europe regard France as a
great volcano in the centre :of civilization, and are
prepared to guard themselves against every ex-
plosion.

We are sorry to observe that the apathy of Go-
vernment touching the improvements and extension
of our efficient navy, remains as unmoved as ever !
Neither the menacing aspect of that political tempest
which has so lately passed over without bursting upon
us, nor the übiquitous activity of France in display-
ing and exercising her naval resources in every quar-
ter of the globe, is sufficient to dissipate the official
napping of the heads of the Admiralty Department.
Never have we been more thorough converts to the
opinions of other men than we profess ourselves to be
to the doctrine laid down in the House of Commons
by Sir CHARLES NAPIER, touching the inevitable in-
fluence which years will be found, as a general rule,
to exercise on the mental as well as the physical
energies of even our best men in command. We are
convinced that a man may be a Lord of the Admiralty,
for instance, without finding any exemption from this
common fate. Nor is he more free than any less for-
tunately distinguished individual of his species from
the moral weakness of aged men—to undervalue the
intelligence and powers of the present generation as
compared with those whereof they were the con-
temporaries, and remain the survivors. There is a
principle of movement stamped on almost all human
institutions, however, by some superior power, the
mint mark of which cannot be effaced even by the
magical " broad arrow" of the QUEEN'S servants.
Amongst these institutions, the science of naval tac-
tics, and therefore of naval armament, is certainly not
the least progressive. The naval marine of the
United States have long since and memorably demon-
strated the vast superiority of large frigates with
heavy metal and great length of hull, over small men-
of-war of superior rating, of more guns, but those of
inferior calibre, and of a proportionately shorter run
from stem to stern. In the disastrous war of 1812 -
14, the costly sacrifices which we were doomed to
experience of heroic intrepidity and heroic resolution,
of human life and national honour, in noble but fruit-
less efforts to contend against overwhelming material
superiority, are still to be deplored, except in so far as
they shall have taught us the salutary lesson that one of

ou; first duties in peace is precautionary preparation
for the contingency of war. It is very certain that in the
struggle of which we speak, the Guerriere was utterly
overmatched in weight of metal, tonnage, manning,
and every other element of efficiency by the United
States ship Constitution, which captured her; that
the lioi net was wholly unequal in the same essen-
tial elements to ti _e Peacock, by which she was
taken ; that the Avon, which went down colours
flying, if we remember, anti her crew cheering, sunk

by the fire of her antagonist, the Wncp, was little
more than an armed, but ill-found yacht, by the side
of the far bulkier and more powerfully armed Ame-
rican sloop ;—and so, of other casualties (for more,
alas! there were) in that lamentable contest. We do
not pause here to balance this shameful account of
discomfitures (occasioned by mismanagement, arro-

price, and folly, for which we always have thought
that the Board of Admiralty of those days, their Se-
cretary included, richly deserved to be impeached) by
dwelling on the brilliant successes that always at-
tended our flag wherever it was but fairly matched, or
even only " almost" fairly, against that of the United
States, as in the capture of the Chesapeake, Ame-
rican frigate, by the British frigate, the Shannon ;
of the sloop Argus by the sloop Pelican ; or of
the President so-called frigate, by H.M.S. En-
dymion. Far from wishing invidiously to recur to
these hostile conflicts between single ships of the two
nations, we particularly desire to recal the fact to the
attention of our readers, that our American antago-
nist was at that day, as in these, most honourably dis-

tinguished for his admirable seamanship, his un-
doubted courage, his enterprising audacity, and the
admirable system upon which his navy was manned,
armed, and equipped. For it was with a full know-
ledge of all these facts that the Admiralty in 1812-14
allowed so many of our cruisers, under every con-
ceivable disparity of force and equipment, to encounter
the overwhelming superiority of their American an-
tagonists. The results of that imbecile and overween-
ing confidence, though they showed against what
hopeless chances 'British valour will always struggle
—sometimes reaping death and defeat from the very
temerity which at others enables her to pluck victory
out of the hands of Fate as it were—did not fail to
show that the omissions and errors of defective pre-
paration cannot be always repaired in time by the
bravest efforts of the bravest service in the world.
Now the Admiralty of 1844 will too surely follow in
the footsteps of their predecessors of 1812, if the
public voice do not immediately call them to a more
vigilant and vigorous discharge of their most respon-
sible duties.

What is the demonstration with which they are
prepared, to prove to Europe and the world at large,
that whilst on the one hand this country is neither so
wanting in self-respect, neither so diffident of her
strength, nor so prodigal of her means, as to com-
mission large fleets of her men-of-war for no other
purposes than those of making descents on obscure
coasts of remote seas, deposing olive-coloured princes,
or tearing down the newly-acquired flag of a semi-

civilized insular monarchy, in order to set up her own,
by fraud or violence, in its stead ; or enforcing de-
mands of apology and pecuniary reparation against the
barbarian SULTAN of dominions adjacent to those last
usurped by them in Africa ? The demonstration pro-
duced by 'the exten*ve commissioning of so re-
spectable a naval squadron as France has dispatched
against the forts and coasts of Morocco, and up the
Mediterranean, by those detachments of powerful
ships of the line, frigates, &c., which she has sent into
the seas of China, off the shores of South America,
and into the Pacific—by the coincident appearance,
in the Yellow Sea, of an American man-of-war
with this French force ;—by the display of a
formidable Russian navy, the ships of which are
appearing so often in the principal harbour and road-
steds of Europe and of Asia; and by the notorious
and admitted inferiority of the scale on which our
own navy is at present established, so far as regards
the number and the manning of our ships in com-
mission : this demonstration consists in—what ? In
the increase of our Mediterranean fleet in some amount
less disproportionate to that of France than one or
two to 17 or 19 ? In the replacing at our principal
outports and naval harbours the customary protection
of formidable guardships, such as first-class men-of-
war, in a condition capable of a rapid completion of
equipment ? No, nothing of the kind. It consists in
the putting into commission some dozen of small gun-
brigs—about the most useless craft which could be
contributed for active service in the event of
war, or even as a squadron of observation in
the case of such further reckless displays on the
part of the French navy, as the bombardment
of maritime towns belonging to a friendly Power.
These brigs, denounced by the most competent naval
authorities, are commissioned for the sake of entering
volunteer hands, and drafting them to other ships of
her MAJESTY'S navy, as they may be required. A
correspondent of our's has so recently and so ably de-
monstrated the futility of the expectations based on
this kind of craft (from the unwillingness, among
other causes, of men to engage themselves under con-
ditions that preclude them from knowing beforehand
anything of the officers they are to serve under), that
we do not enter again into that question. But we
ask, what can be the reason that, against the irrefraga-
policy, and
irrefraga-
ble evidence to the necessity, expediency
of increasing both the efficiency and the extent of our
navy, the Admiralty remain thus supine as to all
useful exedion ; thus mischievously meddling as to
the re-establishment of a foolish and ineffective de-
scription of vessels of war? Is it that Sir ROBERT
PEF,L abets the twaddling unreadiness of Sir GEORGE
CocKuuuN, in returning to the fatuity of the days of
little brigs and half-and-half equipments, in order
that he, the Premier, may realise on the year's in-
come a taking "surplus ?" . We arc _much disposed to

teikvP that this mat, ha thc. rant Then!! is a larffe

sion,

class of silly people, among the supporters of the
Premier, who take a surplus of revenue to be the
most absolute test that car► be suggested of Ministe-
rial sagacity and excellence. It is strange that on the
very fact of this annual surplus, they do not found a
determined and invincible demand for the repeal of
that obnoxious tax, the most disgraceful memorial of
Sir ROBERT'S Administration, the income-tax. But
it is still more strange that, with the Premier, they
should look idly on, and permit to be sacrificed to
such an object—to the mere personal or official inte-
rests of the Minister—all present securities, and im-
mediate preparations for the vindication of, the naval
supremacy and the natural independence and dignity
of Great Britain !

A Tory Contemporary of this morning, referring to
the present troublous aspect of affairs in Ireland, ob-
serves :—" The impression gains ground among all
parties, that the Minister will ere long be driven to
the adoption of one of two courses—either to assemble
Parliament before the agitation receives any fresh
impulse, and to demand such additional powers as the
exigencies of the times may require, for the sup-
pression—root and branch—of a conspiracy which, it
would seem that the present laws are incapable of
effecting ; or else, by a master-stroke of the concilia-
tory course of policy, such as that which distinguished
the year 1829, at once concede Mr. O'Cosistrix's de-
mands, or an instalment of them, and trust to the
chapter of chances for the future safety of the country.
Of the two courses alluded to in the above passage,
the first is the one which—although Ministers are
likely enough to adopt it, in the event of the Repeal
agitation again presenting a formidable front—can
only be pursued at the certain risk of ignominious
failure. By what new powers of law can Govern-
ment hope to put an end to the discussion of such a
question as that of a Repeal of the Union, which is
fast taking a foremost place in the thoughts and feel-
ings of every Irishman ? They may, to be sure, con-
trive to put a veto upon monster meetings, and get
an obsequious Parliament—for their majority there
will do any thing for them—to declare it illegal for
Irishmen to assemble publicly in more than certain
specified numbers in order to agitate the dreaded
question ; but how will this avail them ? Will it stop
the popular clamour for Repeal ? Will it not rather
give it a tenfold impetus, and make those reckless
and desperate, who before were simply active and
resolute within the limits of constitutional propriety?
Undoubtedly it will. To fan the flame of national
discontent, nothing more is needed—as all experience
shows—than an indiscreet opposition on the part of
authority. Put down in one form, Repeal will
be pretty sure to start up in another. Public meet-
ings, and even public dinners on the subject may be
prohibited throughout Ireland ; but are there no other
means by which the agitation can be carried on ?
Can Ministers stifle the free and bold expression of
opinion in the Irish press ? Can they prevent gentle-
men discussing the momentous question in snug social
parties of a dozen or so, at the different reading-rooms ?
Can they prevent them talking over it with their de-
pendents—writing about it in their letters—confirm-
ing each other in their opinions upon it at their fes-
tive meetings—and, above all, issuing tracts, pam-
phlets, and addresses upon it, to be circulated gratis
—after the fashion of the Anti-Corn-law appeals—
throughout the length and breadth of the sister
country ? Can Ministers do any or all of these
things ? Impossible. Repeal is a Proteus which the
instant you grapple with it in one shape, eludes your
grasp, and starts up in another. It is a thought—a
feeling—a principle—which you can no more subject to
your will by dint of menace or coercion, than you can
enchain the free winds of Heaven, or check the en-
croaching waves of Ocean ! The first, then, of the
two courses of policy which, as our Contemporary
observes, Ministers have left for their adoption, is
clearly useless, if not absolutely dangerous, as tend-
ing directly to aggravate the very evil which it is its
object to diminish. With regard to the second—
namely, the conciliatory course—of this far more san-
guine hopes may be entertained ; for instead of
being at variance with justice, it is in accord-
ance m ith it ; instead of being obnoxious to
common sense, it is the necessary result of
the operation of this serviceable faculty. To
put down the clamour for Repeal—or at least
to enfeeble it to such a degree that it can
have no further hazardous influence—it is by no
means indispensable that Ministers should concede to
Irelard'a demand for a Parliament in College-green.
Mr. O'CONNELL himself, for all his assertions to
the contrary, has not the slightest wish that such
a suicidal concession should ever be made—all
that is required is, that Government should
promptly and cheerfully pay that attention to the
just wants and wishes of the sister country, which,
as an integral and influential portion of the British
empire, no one denies to be her due. Let Ministers
do this, and do it in a frank, generous, fearless, and
confiding spirit, and from that auspicious moment Re-
peal will cease to be the demand of a nation, and be-
come the mere whisper of a faction.

Accounts from Madrid of the sth inst. state that
the Government had received the official confirmation
of peace being established between Spain and Mo-
rocco. " Yesterday," says the Globo, " Colonel
BARRY, belonging to the English Legation, arrived at
Madrid. He had come from Tangiers and Gibraltar,
and is the bearer of dispatches for the Spanish Go-
vernment, which, no doubt, contain the final conclu-
sion of the arrangements. Besides the satisfaction
we have mentioned, it appears that the Moorish Go-
vernment will give a pecuniary indemnity to the
family of the Vice-Consul, who has been assassinated."

The elections were going on favourably for the
Government.

The Three per Cents. were done at 27 7-16 at 60
days ; the Fire per Cents. at 19 7-16 at 60 days;
and the Floating Debt at 60 at 15 days.

After the noise caused by the bombardment of Tan-
giers and Mogadore has subsided, and Marshal 131J-
GEAUD has retreated within the French frontier, cer-
tain politicians on the other side of the Channel begin
to see that peace is as far distant as ever, and that
much money must be spent and more bombardments
take place before the Emperor of MOROCCO is brought
to reason. This is the view taken of the French po-
sition by M. THTERS' journal, and it appears to us
perfectly just. "If it were intended," says the Con.
stitutionnel, " to strike a really effective blow at the
commerce of Morocco, it was Tangiers which it was
necessary to occupy rather than Mogadore. Tangiers
keeps up with Gibraltar relations which the proximity
renders exceedingly active. On one side, Gibraltar is
the depository of all the English merchandise des-
tined for the commerce of the Mediterranean and the
coast of Africa ; on the other, Tangiers is the store-
house of the provisions, without which the garrison of
Gibraltar would be obliged to have recourse exclu-
sively to Spain. In 1841, 104 vessels destined for Mo-
rocco, or coming from it, entered or left Gibraltar. It is
easy to comprehend that the imperial custom returns
would have seriously suffered from the occupation of
Tangiers. But England is not willing, even tempo-
rarily, to interrupt her relations; for the success of
our arms. We have not, therefore, made use of our
right, and the commerce of Tangiers will soon have
resumed all its activity. Why, therefore, not have their
own troops in: Larache or Rabat, in place of shut-
ting them up at Mogadore, in an island in front of a
town enveloped on all sides by moving sands ? There
is only one point really vulnerable in this empire—
the town where are deposited the EMPEROR'S trea-
sures. These excite and appease insurgents, make
and unmake sultans. But these are at Mequinez, and
Larache and Rabat are the two gates leading there
from the sea-side. Rabat and Salee, situated opposite
each other on the banks of the same river, are the
nests of all Moorish pirates. Larache, situated to the
north of these two towns, at the mouth of the Lyxos,
collects in its port all the naval force of the empire.
The EMPEROR has confided the guard of these two
keys of his treasures to the fiercest Islamism.
Christians have been kept away with jealous care,
and their 'entry by main force into these old sanc-
tuaries of Mussulman fanaticism would have produced
a moral effect very different from the taking of the
town of Alogadore, accustomed to the rule of the infi-
dels. The EMPEROR would not have seen without
dread Christians fixed at a little distance from the
treasures which he has always been increasing, and
which consists, it is said, of considerable sums of
money, a quantity of precious jewels, and a mass of
gold and silver ingots. Under the perpetual fear of
losing the fruit of his labours, the object of his pas-
the monument of his rei; ABDERRIIAXIAN

would perhaps have capitulated. But we have only

turned from their ordinary route the EMPEROR'S re-
venues. We will not take any part of his territory ;
we leave him hi 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 reduced ABDERRHAMAN to accept our
conditions, all the difficulties of putting them into
execution would still subsist; the cleverness and po-
pularity of ABD-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 EM-
PEROR, 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 I 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 ;"' 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 Englan,l? Whilst an entente cordiale
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—inlSpain, in Por-
tugal, in Greece, in Syris—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 Egypt against 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 counties 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 in
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 late events : it is that this report was published
in the journals, and never contradicted. How do you
like that? The Propayateur de r 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 Ilardinge 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-
men.' 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 divisiun 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 aro to traverse
Egypt."

THE 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 RACE.—yesterday the 120 yards' foot race,
between Fred. Smith (better known under the cognomen
of the Clapham Phenomenon), and George Weds (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
start they went away at locomotive speed, Wells in the
rear. Smith maintained the lead, and came in the win-
ner, beating his opponent by two yards. Smith's triumph
was hailed with great cheering, and he bids fair of be-
coming an -insurmountable aspirant in the pedestrian
A-11111,EKH11 MAN I arena.
