The leading articles of the Paris journals do not ..
possess much interest. Almost the only one deserving
of attention is in the Debats on the ordonnance of the 1
King q the Belgians respecting the silks and wines '
of Germany-. Our readers are aware that the Bel-
gian Government has been very roughly handled by'.
the genJemen of the Parisian Press, who have ex-
pressed their opinions upon the measure in question'. I

The following is a specimen of the style in whichyst
M. Thiers' paper, the Constitutionnel, speaks of Eng-. I
land. It must have a contemptible notion of the un-
derstanding of its readers :—" See that perfidious
Albion, though her empire be menaced in India, and '
her armies in jeopardy in China—though insurrection
is at the gates of London, and the three kingdoms on I
the very brink of destruction, see this perfidious and '
execrable England will not die. The fact is, England
hopes to repair all her losses, all her disasters, by ob-
taining the right of search. This will compensate
her loss of India, by the tremendous preponderance
which it will give her over every slave brig and g-utdoi.

The French Government has invited the four great

Senegal gives birth to each year. Amongst other
remedies which have been tried, was an association of
farmers of the revenue, to which the Government of
Senegal gave their sanction, and from which much
was expected. Intelligence received from Senegsl2
however, shows that those hopes have not been realised,
as the trade has failed this year, the Moors having
organised a resistance to the association.
According to the Quotidienne, the amount voted by
the Chamber of Deputies for the fortifications of Paris
will fall very short of the expenditure. Of the 140
millions voted, 7.5, it says, have already been a-
pended, and 25 are due to the contractors, so that
40 millions only remain. The Quotidienne, in ordo,
