ANOTHER ACCOUNT,

The Oriental steamer arrived at Marseilles on Thurs-
day evening at five &clock. She bears, the following
disastrous intelligence :

The news from Bombay is to the' Ist of February, ac-
cording to which it appears that after death of Sir

William M'Naghten negotiations were resumed by Major
Pottinger, and a convention agreed on for th,9 evacuation by
the British forces of Jellalabad, Ghuzni, Cabool, and Can
dahar; that in pursuance thereof, the troops, to the number

of 10,000, set out, and were, in treacherous'defiance of the
treaty, all massacred. Two or three natives alone
escaped. General Sale has refused to surrender Jella-
labad, and is prepared for a vigorous defence. General
Elphinstone is not dead, although wounded. He is a
prisoner in the hands of Ukbar Khan. There is no news
of the unfortunate ladies and other hostages now at the
mercy of such treacherous savages.

The Indian army is to be increased by the: addition o
a company to each regiment.

" The accounts from China are to the 2d of January,
but add little to what is already known. • The Chinese,
notwithstanding the treaty entered into with k;ir H. Pot-
finger, were rebuilding the fortifications of Canton and
Ningpo, and there was question of a second attack upon
the latter place. Another ship of war of 60 guns had
arrived.

[We will give the details at length in a Third Edi,
ion.]

'We are sometimes half inclined to think that the
Fr ench' are exceedingly fond of us. There :is some-
thing so coquettish in their abuse 'of England---some-
thing so expressive of jealousy rather than of real
dislike in their denunciations of alliances formed by
' England with any country but France, thalL we half
suspect that, after all, we are prodigious f:avourite3
with our Gallic neighbours. So wrlike ar id defiant
a people cannot care three straws about col nbinations
of a defensive character ; and as for offensive alliances,
all Europe holds in abhorrence the very ideal. of mak-
ing ' war upon France. When, therefore, we find
them one day abusing England for keeping a my terms
with Russia, and exulting the next over the prospect
of a rupture between these Powers, arising out of
occurrences now taking place in Syria and at Con-
stantinople, what can we say but that Franco wants
us all to herself—that hers, is the only lap upon which
Great Britain should cradle her love and, fries ndship !
But the French are jealous of us wit bout a
cause. Whatever appearances may seem t o war-
rant, there can be no real sympathy between E ngland
and Russia, the bear and bugbear of Western E urope.
Even the Tory party in this country regard with
contempt the higher classes in Russia, &atm the
CZAR upon the throne to the humblest official within
the wide range of the Russian Empire. Sh Auld this
fact be doubted in France, we refer the incredulous to
an article on the present state of Russia b a the last
' number of the Quarterly Review, published on Satur-
day. The writer, a rank Tory, has no symi )athy with
any class in Russia but two—the serfs and the Greek
priests. Indeed he paints all the rest in mac :h colours,
as exhibit; engrafted:upon an infant mon: trchy, the
matured vices of a State rapidly hastening .to inevita-
ble destruction. He describes the EM? ERROR as a
meddling drill-sergeant, the EMPRESS as . a virtuous
but extremely frivolous Princess, who is .4 lemoralising
the women of Russia by the contagion ( if her tastes ;
all the officers of the State as open to ;the grossest
bribery, and spies upon one another; the ; administra-
tion of justice as an affair of open traffic: ; the nobles
as rude and barbarous, mistaking Freni h frivolities
for civilization ; and the Chinovniks, or Crc ,wn-created,
be-titled middle class, as a pack of as a rrant rascals
as ever peopled the dismal regions of Si) eria. Upon
these various points it may be Li ost satisfac-
tory to quote the Reviewer's own words. Of
the EMPEROR he says—" His firmness is unalterable ;
his industry unfailing—his justice, as it emanates di-

rectly from himself strict—his preferences steady—
his consistency rigid. Not a few will s oy, here are
already the prime materials of a great man ! But
we have added neither the cultivation of mind which
should lead to clear views and sound ju ;dgment, nor
the native intelligence that might suppl: their place:
And both these necessary qualities being wanting,
those we have enumerated are as often s, :en violently
impelled in a wrong direction
,as in Ib he right—as
often expending their strength in the re a tification of
mere nonsense as in wrestling with deep-rooted
errors." And after quoting, with approbf ttion, the de-
claration of a Russian nobleman, that th e EMPEROR,
with . good intentions, is profoundly IG/. UORANT, the
Reviewer attributes to his pig-headed oh tinacy and
ignorant spirit of meddling " the degrading frivolity
and extravagance of his Court—the em EJtiness and
vanity in which his own family have bees I educated,
the child's play of his military taster-4 an d the im-
mense importance attached to the length of a spur, or
the breadth of a button." Does t/ „tis Tot y portrait
of our ally NICHOLAS excite the et Ivy of our French
neighbours ?

Nor does the EMPRESS fare bet ter than the Empm
Ron at the hands of this stern critic of the vices of
Russian society. " Her MAJES TY," says the Re-
viewer, " not considering that all, that is sin in ap-
pearance is sin in reality; that is infinitely less
harmful to public morality I.hat \Ace should assume
the mask of virtue, than tht it svirti to should sport in
the garb of vice, has spreaii over Ik'.ussian society a
mantle of frivolity, wide enough to L screen the vices
as well as the. follies of h er female s objects. The

We learn from the Edinburgh papers, of Sitt.rslle
;hat the leaders of the Non-Intrusionist partf 111 P.
Kirk have "drawn up a plan for a new Ch.ie ;
:ablishment, in the event of a legislative illeftsuj,
ng passed to which they cannot submit." Thehor
may be described in a few sentences. On t' 'to 90e
paration from the State, they will still adhereliiiiii
another, and form a " protesting and ti
Church, to be entitled the " Non-Erastian Chute
el
Scotland." Funds for the maintenance 01 L".,,,c1
and the building of churches are to be „II:04'j

by monthly or weekly contributions ; the toolle,,j;'
is to form a common stock out of which the set'

CHINA AND INDIA MAIL.—A telegraphic despatch
from-Marseilles, received in Paris on Saturday morning,
announces that the British Covernment .steamer, from
Malta, with the Overland India mail, reached Marseilles
on Thursday last (the 31st ult.). The dates are Bom-
bay, Mara 1 ; Calcutta, Feb. 19.; and Madras, Feb. 20.
Letters and papers are hourly. expected.
Lord Aberdeen's note to Mr. Everett on the question
of the right 'of search is commented upon by our Paris
contemporaries. The Courrier Francais says :—" Eng-
land must have some other interest than that of the re-
pression of the slave trade, for we have never seen her at.
any other period expose herself to a conflict with all civilised
nations on a question of principle. The English themselves
carried on the slave trade as long as it answered their pur-
pose to do so ; their philanthropy ou this subjectis of
fresh date; the British Cabinet, besides, must be convinced
although it will not say so, that its efforts, real or pre-
tended, to put an end to the traffic in slaves have com-
pletely failed. That traffic is now more active and
destructive than it was fifty years ago: M. Bunton es- •
timates the number of slaves annually exported from
Africa at 150,000, whereas Mr. Pitt in 1792 estimated
it at only 80,000. All the grand display of principle
that has been made, and all the treaties which have been
entered into, have not snatched a single victim from
slavery. Africa 'haS gained nothing, and Europe has
Jost all that it could lose. We have surrendered the
liberty of the seas without ensuring that of the blacks:
The National has the following upon the same sub-
ject :—" If the right of ascertaining the nationality of
Vessels under the flag of the United States were to be
conceded, what would be the result ? English officers
• would board American vessels under the pretext of as-
certaining whether they were really American, and they
would not withdraw quietly after being convinced that no
deception had in this respect been practised. They
-Would not leave until they should have taken ati ac-
count of everything interesting to the trade of their own
country, and have scrutinised the papers and made
themselves acquainted with all the secrets of their com-
mercial rivals. What
.took place with the Marabout
and other vessels, under similar circumstances, leaves no
doubt on -this subject.
The amount of deposits in the Paris Savings' Bank
during the last month was -3,139,277 f. by 21,867 deposi-
tors, of whom 2,849 were new depositors. The amount
of reimbursements was 2,604,000 francs.
A letter from Rome, in the Quotidienne, gives the fol- •
lowing as the bases of the contemplated concordat between
the Holy See and Portugal :—First, the restoration of
the bishops who have been exiled ; secondly( the re-esta-
blishment of the four religious orders of Saint Benedict;
Saint Jerome. Saint Dominick, and Saint Francis ;
thirdly, the restitution of the conventual property of
these orders ; and fourthly, the re-establishment. of tithes
upon terms to be settled by the Portuguese Government.
The Madrid Espectador, a ministerial journal, an-
nounces, upon the authority of a letter from London, that
Mr. Turnbull, the English Consul at Ilavannah, has been
recalled, at the remonstrance of the Spanish Government,
which had complained that Mr. Turnbull, who is an
ardent advocate for the abolition of the slave trade, had
been endeavouring to carry out his views of emancipa-
tion in the Havannah in a way dangerous to the interests
of the Spanish Government.
The Madrid and Barcelona journals came down to the
27th of March. The accounts from all the provinces are
satisfactory. The Deputies who are gone to Toledo, ac-
companied by Mr. Aston, the British Minister, have not
yet returned ; they were expected on the 27th.
The approaching -arrival of the Infant Don Francisco
at Madrid,• was much talked of in that city. • It was said
that M. Alio would shortly go to the North of Europe,
to join the sons of the Infant, and accompany them to
Spain. A marriage between the eldest son of Don Fran-
cisco and Queen Isabella w as again spoken of.
It was stated in Madrid that the Minister of Finance
would transmit to London in the month of May 60,0001.
for the payment of the British Legion claims.
The Eco del ConAcio has a long account of outrages
said to have been committed on the Spanish flag by
vessels of the Republic of Uruguay, and calls upon the
Spanish Government to Stud out some :hips of war to
enforce respect to the merchant-vessels of Spain trading
an the coast of that republic.
A letter from Constantinople of the 9th tilt., in the
Leipsic Gazette states that a serious difference has arisen
between .the Persian Ambassador and the Porte, on ac-
count of the refusal of the latter to admit 2,000 bales of
Persian silks, which are waiting on the frontier at a
duty of less than 6 per cent., instead of 2 par cent., as
heretofore.
