" Who runs mop read."

POSIEXCAT.

The discussion in the Paris journals of the oppo-
sition relative to the recent vote of M. Thiers, COn;
tinues to be the main feature in their original
columns. Those which have been alike remarkable
for their hostility to the ex-Minister, and to theyre"
sent Cabinet, persist in regarding the difference be-
tween M. Thiers and M. Odilon 13arrot as indicative
of a_breaking up of the coalition between M. 'Thiers
and the Left of the Chamber, whilst on the contrary
the journals which have supported that coalition are
evidently endeavouring to prevent a general rupture.
The news of the blockade of San Juan do Nica-
ragua by the English has furnished the Presse and
the National with a pretext for nearly two coltunns.
of comment on what these journals call the spirit of
encroachment of the English Government. WC d°
not find anything, however, in what they say on the
present occasion worthy of extract. The remarks are
in an unfriendly spirit, and evince determination to
attribute all the proceedings of England to wrong
motives.
We find the following in the Akhbar of Algiers of
the 15th inst. :—" The sickness has become frightful.
Cerebralfever is especially prevalent, and is almost
always mortal. No locality is spared. At Dell •
Ibrahim, a village which was celebrated for its salu-
brity, there is great mortality. The cause of this is
the intense heat, and probably there will be many
more victims before the beginning of autumn. Our
troops have suffered much, but fortunately no precau-
tions are spared against this scourge which every:
summer makes of Algeria a frightful Charnel-house.
A Transylvanian journal gives a disastrous account
of the fire at Beresk. This journal says :—" In tes3
than one hour 272 houses and 434 farm-buildings
were reduced to ashes, with all their contents, and
persons were burnt to death."
rd
We learn from Constantinople that Sir Stratford
Canning had succeeded in obtaining redress for the,
Albanian disorders in the lonian Islands. A Turkish
flotilla will unite with the English ships on that
station to capture the marauders.
The Russians have suffered in their late encounters
with the Circassians. Eight pieces of artillery had
been captured from General Grabbe's camp, but vver,
retaken, except two pieces, with a loss, however, of
1,600 Russians, and 60 officers. This attack on the
Russian camp was made on the 13th of June.
Nothing new from Persia. Diplomacy was
to heal the differences, but the Porte was bent on
war, and refused all concessions. The Russian
nister had intimated to the Porte, that it would n°'
allow the Shah to be dethroned, as Russia had gua'
ranteed the present settlement in Persia. striving

scribed by M. Arago to consist of four distinct kind'
