LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1845.

We do not think it necessary to put our readers upon
their guard against the exaggerated spirit in which those
articles that we have extracted from 'some of the French
journals, on the subject of the affair at Tamatave, on
the coasts of Madagascar, are written. The hatred of
England—that hatred which is sure to be produced in un-
generous minds by the recollection of past defeats on the
part of their own country, and of extreme moderation
in victory upon ours—is the rankling passion to which
the anstitutionnel (and, we are sorry to add, the Journal

which is incessantly invoked by the unprincipled
writers of a party that cannot hope for influence or
power in the direction of public affairs in France, excep
in a season of wars abroad and tumultuous factions a'
home. To the Moloch-worship of this EVIL ONE the
political fanatics we speak of would freely sacrifice, it
the strong arm of the law, and the yet stronger
restraint of public opinion did not chain down
their turbulent activity, all that is great
and estimable .in France and in Englanil ; and,
in the very first instance, that good understanding be-
tween the two Governments in the maintenance of which
the peace and happiness of Europe and of the world
at large aro so deeply interested. We will not do so
much honour to the rancorous speculations in which the
political jealousy of these writers has been lately in-
dulging on the event of the attack on Tamatave by a
joint force of English and French sailors as to
re-quote them. That attack resulted, it is well
known, in a virtual discomfiture of their European
assailants by the native Malgachees, whose intre-

pidity availed itself to the full of all the
_advan-
tages by which it was aided—a position of remark-
able strength, well improved, excellently fortified, and
defended by numbers very far exceeding those of their
assailants, with cannon that seem to have been well
served. The disparity of the loss respectively sustained
by the French and the
_English crews, united in this
conjoint operation (on the merits or misma-
nagement of which it is impossible to pronounce
any opinion in the absence of official accounts and docu-
ments) has supplied the mctiro of a whole chorus of
grumblers, accusers, and bellicose malcontents in the
French newspapers. But their indignation and their
insinuations, their suspicions and their irascibility, are
alike too ridiculous to be gravely dealt with or seriously
answered, excited, as these purport to be, by the fact
that seventeen of the French and only four of the Eng-

lish crews fell in this attack. The French journals can-
not, or will not, understand how this disparity of loss
can have occurred. They seem to be incapable of so
much elevation of sentiment as to attribute it to a most
unnatural, but a generous ardour on the part of their
own sailors, to distirguish their bravery and resolution
under the very unusual circumstances of being associated
w-

h ours in a descent upon a common enemy. They
seem equally oblivious of the fact that the governor of
one of their own colonies, having directed or organised
the expedition, in all probability assigned the
post of honour, that is of danger, to those
who bore the flag of France. But the speculations of
these journalists on the disaster which has
begin sustained at Tamatave ought not to be without
their fruits. They should suggest matter to us of very
grave reflection. No one who is aware of the extensive

_ ---- -
circulation of the Debats, to say nothing of the talent
with which the Paris ConAtitutionnel is written, or of the

general ability and widely-diffused sale of other French
papers, devoted to the same hostile depreciation of Eng-
land, her_ power, her resources, her strength, her

_
policy, and the motives which it suits their purposes
to attribute to that policy,—whether the subject of their
animadversions be one of European or Asiatic interest—of

the march of events in America or in Afr:r!

:ntecl

eunsiderations, can doubt. that, that poi two et toe Erench
nation, to whom these exciting appeals are so mis-
chievously addressed, comprehends a very numerous,
energetic, unse.-.pulous, and excitable community. The
Debats, which accurately understands the necessity
of sustaining this excitement by providing, from time
to limo, fresh pabulum for its support, has now seized
upon Hong-Kong, with the double purpose of gratify-
ing the community we allude to with the contemplation
of the pleasing result that our acquisition has already
proved, and continues to be, the grave of thousands of
our gallant countrymen, and of insinuating that we are
already on the point of providing ourselves with some
far more eligible settlement on the Chinese coasts. But
the notion it suggests of the grounds en which we shall
" compel" the grant of it from the EMPEROR'S Govern-
ment is too eminently French not to be specially no-
ticed. It is said, "it would therefore be nc.‘cessary
for them to obtain from the Chinese Government
either . a new concession of the sovereignty of
the island, or to find an opportunity of exacting
it. Some imprudent attacks on the part of the Chinese
population, like that which took place at Macao on the
person of Mr. Davis, the English Commissioner, or that
at Canton on Messrs. MONTGOMERY MARTIN' and
STAUNTOIT, and for which the English have, perhaps
designedly, deferred demanding reparation, may pro-
bably, in case of need, furnish the opportunity which
they are seeking. In the meantime they are expending
a great deal of money at Chusan, and are laying the
foundations of a durable establishment."
Now this is precisely the sort of claim founded on an
ex post facto statement of ;past injuries fur which the
claim of compensation has been postponed, that the
French authorities have acted on at Otaheite and in
Morocco, at Monte Video, in Mexico, and on the Sene-
gal. But it is a little too much to assume that Great
Britain would condescend to imitate a system of dis-
ingenuous policy that has already received the con-
demnation of all Europe.
In what we have thus written, however, of the extra-

vagant excesses to which the anti-English party in
France is pushed by its credulous animosity, we desire
to excite no contemptuous disregard for such manifesta-
tions. On the contrary, that party, we repeat, is nu-
merous, able, ancl;powerful. Strong as the Government
of AL GUIZOT may be to uphold the cause of peace,
and of established institutions—vigorous and provi-
dent as is the character of the ICING of the FRENCH,
no man can foresee at what moment the vicissitudes of
political administration, the issue of party cabals and
intrigues, and the course of nature may deprive the
world of the guarantees it now possesses, in a wise KING
and en intelligent Minister at the head of the French
people, for their being restrained any longer iu a pacific
attitude towards other nations—and this more particu-
larly. We, too, would implore our own Government to lay
reflections of this nature to their own hearts; and not to
relax in that course of vigilant superintendence
and improvement which has been commenced, we readily
admit, in many of the most important of our Executive
Departments, but which, if carried out to a point short
of timely completion, may even now prove but failures.
Among the still uneffected, but indispenable, measures
required to give its due efficiency to the most essential
arm of the national service—our Navy—we must still
complain, and we urgently complain, that no system has
yet been organised of the nature we have so often dis-
cussed for securing a present complement, and retaining
in all future tames an adequate supply, of able seamen,
by the establishment of a half-pay or allowance list for
that purpose. We lament to find, that in acting on the
suggestions of the Commission upon Harbours of Refuge,
nothing has yet been done to develop the noble capaci-
ties of the harbour of Seaford, or to render the
natural facilities of the road of Dungeness
more available and extensive for similar purposes. We
must also express the disappointment, in which
we believe the public largely participate, that profes-
sional men of the highest authority and experience,
loudly announce at the still undigested and un-
combined results of the various experiments which
have been made on the improvement of the
construction of war-steamers, and the arcifiitecture
and armament of men•of-war, with a view to the attain-
ment of the best sailing properties, and the most effec-
tive gunnery with the heaviest metal. The attention
and energy of the Admiralty still require, we fear, to be
acted upon by a " pressure from without."

The election for the borough of Southwark will be
decided on Thursday next, according to the announce-
ment of the High Bailiff, and we therefore take the op-
portunity of saying a few words to the Liberal candidates.
Mr. PILCHER belongs to a party for which the :electors
of this borough have, on many occasions, expressed by
' their votes a manifest dislike ; he professes, it
is true, some liberal principles, but general pro-
fessions, all know, seldom bear the test
of experience, and should he be returned, he
will, beyond all doubt, vote with the men whose mea-
sures their present consistent Member, as well as the
late Mr. WooD, so often opposed. Should Sir WILLIAM
MOLESWORTII and Mr. MIALL persist in going to the
poll, they will play into the hands of the Tories, and the
votes of the Membf rs for Southwark in Parliament will, in
all probability, be neutralised. In other words, Southwark
will be unrepresented for all useful purposes, and the ho-
nest, liberal, and radical constituency, will not be one
whit better off than the corrupt electors of disgraced
Sudbury. The supporters of the liberal candidates know
to a certainty which has the best chance, indeed, there can
be no doubt on the subject, and for the sake of obtaining a
candidate that professes most of their political views,
would it not be better to sacrifice one in order to keep
out their enemy ? The result of the elections at Man-
chester and Durham ought to be a warning and teach
the Radicals, that so far from opposing Toryism, they are
lending by their obstinacy the most effectual support to
its obnoxious tenets. Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR, as
if to add to the mischief, advocates the claims
of the weaker party, thereby doing everything
in his power to return a Tory. We do not blame him
for putting forth his peculiar opinions on all suitable oc
casions—we do not even suspect for a moment thst he
would prefer PILCUER to MoLcswonTn, but we blame
him for want of tact and prudence, and for endangering the
Liberal cause by encouraging dissension among its friends.
Cannot he perceive what joy this dissension causes
among all the enemies of liberty and reform, and how
gratified these oppressors of the people are in seeing
some well-meaning, but injudicious, opponent throwing
he apple of discord among Reformers, and thereby in-
suring their own triumph ? Let us hope, howev( r, that
the honest electors will not be misled, and that South-
wark will not be subjected to the disgrace which now
attaches to not a few free constituencies.

Accounts have been received from Madrid to the 29th
ult., when the city was perfectly tranquil. Letters from
garagossa also announce that the attempted resistance
to the payment of the new tax had been unsuccessful
and order had been completely restored. The QUEEN
was expected at Pampeluna on the 2d inst., and the
French Princes on the 4th. In reference to this inter-
view the Tiempo says :—" Whatever may be its object
and result--whether it be the Count TRAPANI or Count
MONTEMOLIN who is to divide with MONTES the honours
of that city—it is at least certain that towards the mid-
dle of next month the Court will have raurned to Ma-
drid ; and those fears entertained by the most prudent
and cautious men, will not be realised. Such at least is
our opinion, and as such we express it loyally and forcibly.
The marriage will not have taken place ; there will be
no VILUMA Mini-try ; nor, in a word, will any of those
things happen which some persons of our various parties
prognosticated."
No business was done cn the Madrid Bourse on the
29th ult.

The Paris papers contain no political articles of
he slightest importance. We were glad to find that
two of the most violent cf them have taken up subjects
of a more useful character. The Presse has com-
menced a series of articles on the liberty of the sub-
Ject, which, in France, appears to be of the very
smallest amount possible. That journal complains
that the law neither defines imprisonable offences,
nor the rank or station of the magistrate,
by whom a warrant may be issued. The accuser can
select the committing magistrate, who has the power not
only of arresting him, but of confining him secretly,
and forbidding ell intercourse between him and his
family for an indefinite period. We doubt the state-
ment. The Charter did not leave the liberty of the
subject in such an undefined state ; and we con-
fidently believe that no magistrate can corn
n-tit to prison, without a limited period being
fixed for the trial of the accused. The Notional com-
plains of the mode of appointing• persons to Government
offices, on the ground that a man according to the presen
practice cannot obtain a Govern meat situation unless he
has gone through a regular course of study at the uni-
versity. We believe the practiec prevails only in refe.
rence to certain appointments for -which, of course, a suit.
able degree of instruction is noces sary. However, these
are laudable endeavours, and it will be gratifying to find
these rabid journals directing: attention rather to the
social evils of France than etc rnally meddling with the
affairs of their neighbours. It appears from the (axial
journals that a division of
-Free ch troops, under the com-

' ia a cavern, hilt, it had been conducted
in a more humane manner. Two dispatches, dated Al-
giers, Aug. 15 and 19, had been received from Marshal
z•,:ating the paniculars. In the ri-port of the
15th the Marshal gives an recount of a luccessful attack
made by a French force under Colonel DE ST. ARNAUD,
on the 7th, on the Scheriff BouA-MAZA, who was at the
head of 200 cavalry and some infantry. The enemy
was completely defeated, The Scheriff escaped with
difficulty. His brother, one of his officers, and several
of his cavalry were killed. On the Bth Colone
ST. ARNAUD received information that the enemy had
retired in a great measure to their caverns. Without
losing an inLtant he proceeded to blockade them.
The report says :—" At seven in the evening the in-
vestment was complete ; in this operation we had two
soldiers wounded. There were, it is said, in the grot-
toes a hundred armed men. The various summonses
made up to the departure of the courier had been re-
ceived with insult and the firing of muskets." In the
report of the 19th the Marshal says—" The siege of the
grottoes of Sbehas has been less distressing than that
of the Ouled ; we were able to devote much more
time, as the column of Colonel DE SAINT ARNAUD was
isolated, and was not required to esAst in any other
operations. The explosion of a mine killed a few per-
sons ; the rest, alarmed at our incessant proceedings,
capitulated. Our soldiers, always humane, did not
show less activity in extracting these unfortunate
wretches than they had shown in labouring to compel
them to surrender." The report goes on to state that,
on the 13th, Lieut.-Colonel D'ALTONVILLE, at the head
of 600 men, made a forced march of eight leagues at
night, to fall upon the Scheriff, who had retreated to the
rocks near the sea, in the country of the Ouled-
Youness. He again escaped, with one of his wives, to
an inaccessible rock, abandoned by all his men, and
leaving his tents and flocks, and the whole of his smala
The same chief, however, soon after left his hiding-
place, and appeared at the head of 400 horsemen in the
territory of the Beni Zaugzougs. The Governor of Ali-
lianah dispatched some cavalry in pursuit of the party,
and also two companies of infantry to support the ca-
valry. The former, however, having rather incautiously
advanced, were suddenly attacked by 300 mounted Arabs
and obliged to retrace their steps, with the loss of one
killed, three wounded, and four horses.
The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
papers :-

".At Eu, on Tuesday, the King, with the Queen and the
Princess Adelaide, walked in the park from half-past three till
five o'clock, attended by the Minister of Public Instruction,
Generals Athalin and d'doudetot, and M. Brahaut, one of his
Majesty's orderly officers.
"Prince Jerome Napoleon has left Paris. According to a
report mentioned by the Gazette de France, he received a
promise before his departure that the law of proscription against
the Bonaparte family shall be revoked, or considerably modified.
" The Duke d'Aunrtle left the Château de Belfort on Mon-
day for Pampeluna. His return is announced for the 9th. During
the absence of the Prince, Major General Tallandier takes the
command of the camp of the Gironde.

."
The Weser Gazette publishes a letter from Denmark, in
which it is stated that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of that
country intends to go to England and Austria, with the view
of obtaining from the Earl of Aberdeen and Prince Metter-
nich the guarantee of the unity of the Danish monarchy and
the succession to the throne.

" The Cologne Gazette gives accounts from Tiflis to the
3d ult., according to which the Russians, after their success at
Dargo, were so much harassed by the enemy, ani experienced
so many privations, that Count Woronzaff was compelled to
order a retreat to the Russian territory, No intelligence of
this kind appears, however, to have been received from any
other quarter.

" Ttie Leipsic Gazette publishes a royal degree against
meetings and associations in Saxony, having an avowed or dis-
guised political object, as being contrary to the resolution of the
Federal Diet of July 5, 1832. —The late meetings for the dis-
cussion of the new German Catholic Church question have, it
is stated, rendered this notice necessary."

MANCHESTER and BIRMINGHAM

RAILWAY. ---
TO THb EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—My attention was the other day arrested by-a state-
ment in The Sun of the 28th ult. regarding the Manchester
and Birmingham Railway. I have cut out of the paper, and
attach hereto, the article alluded to. It says
We are informed that no railway in the country exhibits
so large an increase of traffic as the Manchester and Birming.
ham line. The receipts of the last two weeks, as compared
with the corresponding period of last year, are as follows :-
1845. 1844.
Week ending August 8 £4,453 £3,035
Ditto 15
I have referred to the official returns, and find that the above
quo•ed returns are incorrect. The receipts Bth Auguq, 1844,
should be 3,6351., and the receipts 15th August, 1844, should
be 3,5321. This gives an increase on the first quoted week,
at the rate ( dropping fractions) of 23 per cent., and on the
second week about 19 per cent.
Allow me, by way of contrast, and for the information of
your informant, and through him the public, to direct his and
their attention to another, as yet comparatively little known
railway—l mean the Preston and Wyre—!ending to the flourish-
ing port of Fi,etwood. It is only 19 miles long, and the Man-
chester and Birmingham is 31, or nearly double the length.
The receipts of the Preston and Wyre for the last month have
been as follow, and I defy your informant to point out another
railway in the kingdom where the in,mase has been so great:—

Mr. George Robins's beautiful Marine Villa, which
faces thb Duke of Devonshire's (and luckily has a south-west
aspect instead of an easterly wind to contend with), is to be let
on lease, unfurnished, but we happen to know that within the
last few days he was heard to say he would furnish it splendidly
or moderately (as it might be required), but not for a less
period than three or five years. He would not like to let it for
a season, and then find all the gold taken off the gingerbread,
and this would be the case if it is to be furnished, as he is de-
sirous to do. The four or eight stalls and double coach-howes
at the rear is an advantage that very few at Kemp Town can
boast of.—Brighton Herald.

CAUTION TO JURORS.—Yesterday, at an inquest
he'd before Mr. Payne, in the board-room of St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital, on the names of the jurors who were sum-
moned from the Tower ward being called over, it was found
that there were fifteen absent. They Tere fined 20s. each.
JOSEPH Loins PAPINEAu.—'The distinguished ex-
Speaker of the House of Assembly of Lower Canada, left
Kingstown yesterday morning, for Liverpool, where he this day
embarks on board the Britannia, Boston steamer, en route to
Montreal. This illustrious patriot spent a few days with his
friends in our metropolis, previous to his return to his native
land, after an absence of eight years. The amnesty which ena-
bled him to return to Canada was granted two years ago, but he
remained a voluntary exile till family affairs of importance im-
peratively demanded his presence in America.—Freeman's
Journal.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ENGLISH TALENT.—Letters
from Vienna speak in terms of high commendation of the re-
ception which Lord Francis Egerton has received during his
stay in that city, on account of his literary and artistic merits.
Thomas Austin has obtained the same civilities at Frankfort.
NOTTINGHAM AND AMBER-GATE RAILWAY.—An
agreement has been made between the Nottingham and Amber-
gate, and Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir, and Grantham Rail-
way Companies, and the Lynn and Dereham Railway Com-
pany, as to the junction between their lines. The former corn-
panics will extend their lines from Grantham to Spalding, so
as to meet the extension line of the Lynn and Ely Company—a
measure which will greatly promote the value of the property
of each—Nottingham Review,
DEATH ON BOARD A STEAM-BOAT.—LRSt even-
ing an inquest was held before Mr. W. Payne, at the Steel-
yard Tavern, Upper Thames-street, respecting the death of
Mr. John Weir, aged 24, a commercial traveller. It appeared
from the evidence of several witnesses, that on Thursday
morning the deceased and several friends proceeded on board
the Wedding-ring steam-boat to Gravesend, on a pleasure ex-
cursion. The deceased seemed in excellent health, and
joined in several quadrilles and country dance., as the vessel
proceeded down the river, and on reaching Gravesend dined
with the proprietors of the boat. He returned to the heat in
the company of a young lady, with whom he danced as the boat
was on the way to London. About twenty minutes to ten, as
the steamer was off the Custom-hou,e, the deceased was ob-
s.rved to fall sud4enly on the deck. His friends ran to him
and lifted him up, and sprinkled his face with water. A sur-
get.n named Savoury, who was on board, used all efforts to re-
stere animation, but the vital spark had fl:d. The surgeon
was of op:ni-n that the deceased had 'led from disease of the
heart. Verdict---" Natural deaths"
