des Debats, M. THIER'S journal thus sums up the
the grievances of France, and the burden of the la-
mentation is the insult offered to the nation by the
hospitable reception of the French KING in this coun-
try :—"ln the panegyric which the Ministry thus
pronounces upon itself there is a phrase which has
been remarked upon by every one who has read it for
its assurance, which almost amounts to buffoonery.
This is the passage :—' Never, whatever has been
said, whatever may be said hereafter—never has
France been more respected abroad than she is at the
present day. Respected ? By whom, if you please ?
By England, perhaps, which has just imposed
upon you the payment of a sum of money to
a man whose speeches have already cost the
lives of twenty-five or twenty-eight of our
brave soldiers; by England, which, after having
driven you out. of New Zealand, has interdicted you
from occupying a little islet in the middle of the sea,
and rendered your remaining in it impossible! By
Russia, which will not receive your Ambassador By
Austria and Prussia, which have always coalesced
with your adversaries ! By the smaller powers, like
Rosas, who murder your allies ! Like Mexico, which
shoots Frenchmen in contempt of the rights of
nations ! But you mean, no doubt, to speak of Mo-
rocco. Yes, our soldiers have made themselves re-
spected there stlibe points of their bayonets ; but a
good army is in your hands like a sword which you
are afraid of, and dare not use. You quickly cast
it down, or throw it far away, to obtain a peace upon
any terms. Twenty millions to pay a promise not to
take an inch of territory from Morocco, an engage-
ment to be generous towards ADD-ELKADER, and to
leave to ADDERRHANIAN the honour of imposing cle-
mency upon us—are the results of the campaign.
However, we see what you mean to say—that you
will receive banquets and loud applauses on the
other side of the Channel; you will assist in doing
honour to the victors of Waterloo ; you will win for
the KING of the FRENCH the Order of the Garter.
Ascend the capitol. No one can be more respected,
more glorious than you."
It is some relief to turn from these mischievous
imputations to the following article in the Journal des
Debats, in answer to the charges made by the war
party respecting the visit of Louts PHILIPPE to the
Queen of ENGLAND :—" The Queen of GREAT BRI-
TAIN is preparing to give the KING of the FRENCH a
reception worthy of him and of England. The nation
unites in feeling with the SOVEREIGN, and is prepar-
ing festivities for the officers of the French navy, as
the Court is preparing a similar honour for the KING.
We should have imagined that such a spontaneous
manifestation would have been regarded as a proof of
good feeling and of sincere cordiality. It appears
that we were simpletons to think so, and that Eng-
land is perfidious. We should have thought that
those preparations were to do us honour ; it appears
that the purpose is to insult us. It is France which
has been sacrificed to prepare the KING'S journey; it
is, again, France which will be insulted during the
KING'S stay in the country of an ally. What, then, is
that grand affront which England intends us ? She sends
the Duke of WELLINGTON to meet the KING! This is
the insult offered toFrance, and to theßevolution ofJuly.
This is, in truth, to display a strange knowledge Of
the dignity of one's country ! Assuredly, we cannot
efface history. We cannot prevent this name from
being mixed with the most painful, as well as with
the most glorious, period of our annals. But is
France, then, so feeble—is she so small, that she can
not look those men in the face whom she formerly en

gaged on the field of battle ! When the first
Lieutenant of the EMPEROR proceeded to assist at the

coronation of Queen VICTORIA, did England perceive
an insult in his presence ? Did she attribute as a
crime to the veteran of all the wars of the empire the
recollections which attach to his name and to his illus •
trious reputation ? Has nothing occurred during
thirty years ? And is the Revolution of 1830, which
has replaced us in the first rank amongst free nations,
nothing ? England sends her most illustrious citizens
to meet the Sovereign of France. This is termed
an insult to the Revolution of July—we con-
sider it as an act of homage paid to it. It
is precisely because England sees beyond the
KING, or rather, sees in the KING the nation over
which he reigns, and the Revolution from which he
sprung, that the reception is given to him which does
honour to the British nation. The men who are to
meet the KING are the same who the first acknow-
It dged and enthusiastically adopted the Revolution of
July. The Ministers who now govern Great Britain
are the same who governed in the year 1830, and
who, in the midst of the alarm and of the umbrage of
the rest of Europe, recognised, without hesitation, the
triumph of liberal and constitutiobal principles in our
country. We are aware of the tactics of the Opposi-
tion journals—it was easy to have foreseen them.
They wished to separate the KING from the nation.

They wish to convert the honours which will be paid
to the KING into so many insults to France. The
country will not be deceived, it will be proud of those
marks of respect and admiration of which its august
representative will be the object in the midst of a
nation so long enjoying liberty. It will take its part
of it, and it will consider the reception paid to the
KING of 1830 as an extraordinary homage paid to the
Revolution."

The following plan for the future government a
Algeria appears in the Revue de Paris :

" We believe we may positively say that for some
days past the question of erecting the French possessions
in Algeria into a Viceroyalty, and of conferring the
functions and title of Viceroy on the Duke d'Aumale,
has engaged the attention of the Council of Ministers.
The Court of Naples have even been given to understand
that the Prince de Salerno's daughter is destined to
occupy the exalted rank of Vice-Queen. The Council
have adopted the principle of this scheme, but have
come to no decision as to the method of executing it.
Hitherto, all that we can say as to the project itself, is
that the Duke d'Aumale would have powers far more
extensive than the Viceroys of Ireland and Sicily, that
the title would be conferred on him for life, that a par-
ticular Administration would be established fur Algeria,
and that the country would still continue to depend on
the metropolis. The Viceroyalty of Africa would have
a permanent army, composed partly of natives and partly
of Frenchmen, to be enlisted in the country itself. The
Council is to bestow its attention on this question imme-
diately after the Duke d'Aumale's marriage, and to
draw up a Bill to be presented to the Chambers or ad-
journed, according to the chances of next session. As
for Marshal Bugeaud, should he, when this arrangement
is adopted, decline an appointment in France, the title
of Generalissimo of the French armies in Africa will be
conferred on bin]."

GIBRALTAR, OCT. 2.—A circumstance occurred
yesterday, shortly after the departure of the Great
Liverpool, which has caused no little sensation in this
place, and will doubtless induce severe comment, if
not disagreeable consequences, on the part of the
Spanish authorities. A Spanish war schooner, in
close chase of a coasting vessel (whether or not en-
gaged in the contraband trade is unknown), passed
Europa Point yesterday afternoon, about three
o'clock ; when, hiving failed to show her colours, as
is always customary, as well as imperative, in such
cases, a shot was fired over her from the signal bat-
tery, to remind those on board of the neglected ob-
servance. This failing to produce the desired effect,
a second gun was fired with more direct aim; but as
the Spanish vessel found herself considerably out of
range of the shot, she continued her course, disregard-
ing both intimations, and (it is currently reported)
still refusing to show her colours. A gun of much
greater calibre was then brought to bear on her from
the battery, when so correct was its direction, that
the shot told with fatal effect, and she sunk shortly
afterwards, whilst vainly endeavouring to make for
Algesiras. Very-fortunately a Portuguese vessel was
not far distant,• and with its timely aid, as well as
some of the boits of the war vessels in the bay, the
crew was saved.—Herald.

MORTALITY IN Tlll, MRTROPOLTS.—There is still
an increase in:the number of deaths. The total for
the week ending Saturday, Oct. 5, was 961, while on
the previous week it was 932, and on the week pre-
