throats in Otaheite. The following are its spiteful
remarks :
" The King of the Vrench has been the object of
every attention in England. We are grateful for it to
the English nation and its Government. In fact, if these
speeches, addresses and royal fetes, have for their ob-
ject to place a certain salve on our recent wounds, and
to console by satisfactions of pure vanity, our offended
interests and dignity, at least they are acts of politeness,
and we prefer them on the part of England to rude be-
haviour. Our Ministerial journals are, it is true, highly
ridiculous in their enthusiasm. The King has the Order
of the Garter, neither more nor less than Louis XVIII.
and Charles X., his predecessors I Behold him altoge-
ther in the rank of legitimate Kings ! He can wear,
like them, on days of ceremony, a garter on his left
leg, and display before the eyes of ambassadors this
present of Queen Victoria ! The Mayor, Aldermen, and
Common Council of the City of London, rode three or
four leagues in their carriages, dressed in their crimson
robes, to congratulate the King on the policy of his Mi-
nistry, and to recommend him to continue that policy,
in the interest of humanity ! What happiness for
France ! What a political event ! But it is not the
fault of England that our Ministerial journals are ridi-
culous. Our neighbours, judging of our nation by its
Government, have taken it into their heads that appear-
ance is everything to our eyes, that the bottom of mat
ters is of little importance to us, and that forms alone
occupy us. They go direct to the useful, the true, the
positive, but they imagine that we are a formalist
people, and that we regard no other interests than
those cf our self-love. They servo us, therefore, ac-
cording to our taste, and we ought to be grateful to
them for their desire to please us. In Morocco, we
have the glory of Isly; they have the treaty of Tan-
giers. At Otaheite, they get our throats cut and expel
us ; but at London they compliment us, and place us
in their addresses above all the great warriors in his-
tory. They have obtained the disavowal of M. d'Aubigny
and the indemnity of Mr. Pritchard, but the Aldermen
of London visit the King in their crimson robes. Have
we not all that is suitable for us ? However, our Minis-
ters make the King declare that peace is the greatest in.
terest of nations, as if independence, the integrity of the
territory, national honour, and the grandeur of the
country, were not interests still more precious than
peace, of which we know better than any others how to
recognise the value. The King is recommended to pro-
claim the coming of perpetual peace, that dream which
the head of a great nation ought never to declare aloud
in a foreign country. This definition of the entente
cordiale is in fine suggested to the King ; a platonic
friendship between France and England, in which France
demands nothing from England, nor England anything
from France ; a vain definition, for such an alliance im-
plies an alesolute stain quo, a complete fixity in the world,
or else it is not a real alliance. All this the English ap-
plaud with the utmost gravity, and continue to proceed
towards their object, of acting everywhere without us
and against us if necessary. They pay us in coin which
they suppose is suitable for us, and they flatter our
vanity for the greater edvantage of England."

The Globe thus adverts to the address from the
Corporation of London :

" This Corporation, so important by the private posi-
tion of each of its members, and also by the influence of
the burgesses of London, by which it is elected, has
heretofore limited itself to the reception within the city
itself of the foreign Sovereigns who sojourned in Eng-
land. It never on any former occasion quitted the
limits of the commonalty till this occasion of the visit of
his Majesty to Queeu Victoria. The departure, too, of
the Lord Mayor and Aldermen for Windsor has been
considered by all serious minds as a most significant
event. To have induced the Corporation of London to
break through a rule consecrated by immemorial custom,
required in fact that the elite of the English population
should have pronounced itself strongly in favour of
France, and that the deference and veneration felt for
our Sovereign should be carried to the highest pitch."

DR. WOLFF.

Lady Georgiana Wolff has acquainted the Presi-
dent of the Committee of the Stoddart and Conolly
Fund, that she has received letters from Dr. 'Wolff;
and also from the Persian Ambassador at the Court
of Bokhara, translated into English by the favour of
Colonel Shiel. Dr. 'Wolff, in letters dated July 29,
and August (no day being specified), states that he
expected to leave Bokhara in a few days, and had re-
ceived a present from the Ameer of a horse, a silver
bridle, a robe of honour, and ninety ducats, but had
not yet had his audience of leave. The Persian
Ambassador, in a letter dated July 23, stated that he
expected to bring Dr. Wolff away in about eight days.
As the second of Dr. Wolff's letters, published a
few days ago, and dated August 1, or some days
after the date specified above, contained no mention
of these encouraging circumstances, but, on the con-
iannexoitynesi; there seems
inconsistency but by
ntroarAyra,yionfdiaccacteoduntcionngsifdoerratbhlee
supposing that there is some mistake in the date of
the letter of the Ist of August, and which, as no
reports whatever could claim any credence in opposi-
tion to the statements in Dr. Wolff's own letters, led
to a misconception of his real position at that time.
