that Prussia is happy in the glory and prospe-
rity of her own fatherland, and in the fra-
ternisation of her different religious creeds."
These sentiments are worthy of a Sovereign
reigning over Protestants and Catholics, and
g►ve a severe reproof to the bigots of our own
country, who would suffer no religion but
their own to prevail, and would throw
the world into confusion to gratify their own
selfish and wicked passions. The address will be
found' in another part of the paper, and we
earnestly recommend it to the perusal of dif-
erent sects in this country.

Private letters from the Cape of Good Hope,
dated the 9th of July, mention that another
man-of-war bad been dispatched to Port Natal.
No official accounts of the events at that place
had been published, but no doubt was entertained
at the Cape that the reports of the destruction
of Captain Smiles detachment, which we have
already mentioned, were but too well founded.

Letters from Constantinople of the 24th ult.
state that there is now a probability that the
Eastern question will be settled, in accordance
with the wishes of England and Austria. The
StvrAN personally is said to have expressed
"eat eagerness to maintain the most friendly
relations with all the Christian Powers. After
l'ePeated councils held at the Divan, TAHIR
?Actin proposed a plan, which was adopted, for
dividing the Lebanon into two distinct Govern-
Inents—the one to comprise all the Christians
and the other the Druses, Mussulmans, and Mu-
ta.wellis. The Christians to be governed by one
(T,31. "vo Emirs of the SHEAB family, and the
ruses and others by a Sheik, selected from
c`Hri°ng themselves—both being subject to the
control of the Pacha of AcaE or DAMASCUS.
Persons on the spot believe that this arrange-
uhich must satisfy the Christian Powers,
no* tranquillise Syria. What the Syrians
really merit is independence. They want to rid
theemselves of the dominion of the Porte altoge-
thr. This is the only point upon which the
Druses and Maronites are entirely agreed, as
otherwise the hatred between them is inveterate.
Little progress appears to have been made in
settling the differences between Persia and the.
Porte. The interference of England, however,
'as prevented a war between them. In all the
collisions. which took place on the frontier the
Turks acted wholly on the defensive.

There is no news of any political interest in
the French Journals received. The Journal
des Debats endeavours to prove that Mexico
must go to the dogs uniem a monarchy is es-
tablished there; and intimating that SANTA
ANA would be no bad Sovereign to begin with.
'llls article is the result of private advises from
; as two months ago SANTA ANA was re-
volving the project of encircling his brows with
an Imperial diadem.
A letter from Captain Salla, dated Monte Video,
20th June, confirms the loss of the LeoFoldini. Capt.
Salsla says—" It is strongly reported is
the city that
ioa s has passed the river (La Plata) with his
army,
and is.on his march to Monte Video, where the peo-
Tle are by no means indifferent to this bold step of the

ee"TPbelessert is one of the candidates at Nogent

with 270 passengers (of whom 200 are stated to have

G'azette. The Minister of Marine has given orders
to the Maritime Prefect at Brest to prepare an expe-
dition for the Antilles; it will consist of two frigates

(lit's a moment view the position of the country, and
Position of ihe Executive, with the condition of its

llallcal of host lities need exist. Santa Anna has nomi-

one at all conversant with Mexican politics doubts
that le is aiming at supreme power and to attain
a Is; the support of the army, if there be such

tVYer, and, at the same time, to blind poli-
ans, these several expeditions against Yuca-
lithand Texas are nominally undertaken, but
out serious intentions of carrying the threats
t''t(i'execution. If any proof of this were wanting, it is
Qhe found in the manifestoes fulminated against the

elare war with England. No conclusion can be
