Archbishop himself, in the ecclesiastical Greek of the
early Greek Church : • ~
" To our venerable and dearly beloved breth-en in Jor
Christ, the Bishops of the ancient apostolic districts of
and the neighbouring countries, from us, William, by tilt
grace of God, Archbishop of Canterbtor and Primate of
England, joy in the Lord ; We reMmmend with all the
zeal in our power to your benevolence, venerable and dear
brethren, Michael Solomon Alexander, erictor in theologSl
whom we have appointed Bishop of the Church of Englo'
and Ireland, having appreciated his piety and ability, and this
in conformity with the canons of our holy' and apoti°lie
Church; we have sent him under the authority of our (20'
to Jerusalem, and have confided to him the spiritual super;
intentlence of all the laics and clergy of our Church in that
country and its neighbourhood. But, in order that no rt.
sun may be ignorant of our motives in sending Michael*".
lomon as Bishop, we have ordered him not to impair ;n anY
way the power which belongs to you and the other heads of
the districts of the East, but to testify to you the esteem Y°4 -:t
merit, and to show himself always ready and sealous for evcie
thing, that may advance charity and brotherly harmony. 1
o
feel confident that our brother, the Bishop, will obser
from his heart and conscience, in all fidelity, all that sce •
have ordered him, and we pray you in the name of Of
Saviour to welcome him as a brother, and offer him, in seaso: •
all that. he may require. We hope that you will receive with
benevolence this epistle, which roves in what estinntii°!
we hold our bond of brotherly fellowship with the ancient?
Churches of the East, dissevered for several generation,. ,i,
these ties should be renewed by the will and grace of Go.
we Iv,pe that the divisions which have sprung up in the
Church of Jesus Christ, and for which she has so much r •
dured, will disappear. In this hope, we have affixed to this
epistle, written .bt our own hand, our archiepiscopal seal.
Given at Lambeth, on the 3d of November, 1841.

The Courrier Francais of Monday has a rather angli
article upon one quoted in this Journal from the Medic.
nits' Magazine, relative to the facility with which steno'
ships are constructed in England as compared With
France. Nothing, indeed, can exceed the sensitiveness
of the French Press upon every subject. The writer ill
the Mechanics' Magazine—(a periodical, by the Of'
which takes no part in politics, and, therefore, repro.
sents the opinion of no party in England—had inn, ,•°'
eently asked where are the steam-vessels of svil°'
France annually orders the construction ?" to wl'ich
the Courrier Francais wrathfully replies :
These shouts of triumph ate uttered with reference to I
650-horse steam-frigate, which the English Government )43
just put on the stocks, and which it hopes to finish in
months. Certainly, when a nation, has such arsenals as Chat*
ham and Portsmouth, when it possesses the most expert engine;
makers in the world, there is no great merit in prodnel
6 ej
single steam-frigate in nine months, and the epic trumpets
r.ot be sounded as if the creation of the universe had Pl'
been completed. We freely acknoriedge the inferieritit
of our resources on this point, although England does ?h
Mechanics' make the marvellous use of hers that is asserted. 'l, t
Mechanics' Magazine is wrong, however, in supposing t.'4l,
our steam-vessels exist only on paper. The fourteen tram'
lantic steamers after which it inquires are on the stocks, a',l
will be far enough advanced to be launched towards the e,'l;e
of 1842. The construction of the engines proceeds al
same time, and although they come from manufactooe,
under the direction of French engineers, they 'lOllO
stand a comparison with the most perfect things of the sa
kind that England has produced. 1 hese transatlantic steatn.ech,
will be real frigates, carrying cannons, if required, and wh't. _
; i,
a tempest will not cut in two, as occurred to the fragile
case of the President. The creation of this steam got
or
perhaps the act which does most honour to the MinistrYto
March 1. The present Government has not persevered in of
same course. This may be judged of by the last ordonnanrev. ,
Admiral Duperre, fixing the amount of our steam n3;ts".-,
This ordonnance undoubtedly raises our naval force to a ssi,
factory proportion, but ten mortal years are require,' ;01,
the execution of it. The bill which ordered the constroti
of the transatlantic steamers stipulated for a delay oftbtb
years. The difference of the two measures lies altogether in
one circumstance. If the Chambers, however, with have an
courage to order it, our steam navy will in a few yearsbetbe
a respectable footing. We wish we could say the same of tire
arming of our ships of war and our coasts; but the retio,
of the several administrations puts an obstacle to everYhich
provement on this side. Notwithstanding the proofs 0;e
have been exhibited at St. Jean d'Acre of the tremendous e',„ itt
of cannons for throw ng hollow shot, the French Goverr„itte
hesitates to provide a quantity of this formidable artillery' toed
Paixhans guns, though invented in France, are nowhere der;,
with greater parsimony. We have only a few eighty-posit
whereas the English have a number of one hundred-andbe
pounders on their coasts and their men-of-war. Wmp"ais-
believed that the batteries at Algiers have not a single rtbout
w
bans cannon, and that our dockyards are altogether
." tt,e
them ? We mention these facts unwillingly, but we deer
ore
Chambers to be fay informed on the subject, and We, ace
they will make the Government feel the recessity of n"
strengthening those weak points of our position.
Delicacy of feeling does not superabound in the bretl,s:
of a writer, who could thus allude to the sad fate Of
I'resident. Notoriously ignorant, moreover, of the '`;(1,

feeling, in the assumption of such knowledge by on
