THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 21, 84

who may be seen sauntering within a dozen
yards- of St. James's Park ? Is such a distin-
guished personage as JONES to return, and no
preparations to be =de against his advent ?.
Where is the head of the Home-office, Sir
JAMES GRAHAM ?

" What wants he in the North,
When he should serve his Sovereign in the South ?"
The boy JONES is returned; nay, he is actually
at this moment in London; and yet the Home
Secretary still lingers in the sequestered shades
of Netherby l Scandalous negligence! But what
else was to be expected from a Tory Minister !
We pay these men collectively upwards of thirty
thousand pounds per annum; we allow them to
sweat sevenpence—the monsters!—out of every
single pound we possess; and yet when the boy
JONES returns (meditating, no doubt, another
noctural irruption into the butler's pantry at
Buckingham Palace)—these men, whom we pay
at such a preposterous rate, take no more notice
of the boy, than it' he was any other boy, and
not the JONES! Under these circumstances,
we feel that the LORD MAYOR is imperatively
called upon to make a tender of his services to
Majesty. He can do wonders, if he will but set
about it in a right spirit. Let him but beleaguer
Pimlico with a battalion of Beef-caters; station
a fat Special at all the approaches to the Palace ;
and pop every ginger-whiskered stripling in the
Black-hole; and then the Royal Household will
be enabled to sleep in peace, even though Minis-
ters are negligent, and the boy JONES is returned !
Should we hear any further particulars respect-
ing this most surprising and unexpected return,
we shall make a point of communicating them to
our readers in a Second Edition.

We have time merely to call attention to the
letter of Mr. CHILDS on " Bible Monopoly,"
which contains some facts of great importance to
the religious community. Little credit for
sincerity can be given to those Church-
men who cry out tor Church extension,
and the diffusion of the truths of the
Gospel among the ignorant multitude, while
they do all they can to make the Bible a
sealed book to the poor. It would even appear
that the very agents and travellers of the Society
for the Diffusion of Scriptural Knowledge, de-
precate all attempts to lessen the prices.
This cannot fail to raise strong suspicions as to
the motives of those who have the management
of its affairs, and requires the serious considera-
tion of the numerous subscribers. We shall pro-
bably return to the subject.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 11th,
Every preparation was making for the approach-
ing session, which will be an interesting one.
Frequent meetings of the Council had taken
place, and Government was adopting the most
active measures to put down the bands which in-
fest the provinces of Toledo and Ciudad Real.
Accounts from Algesiras of the sth inst. state
that the Commander of an English ship of war,
who lately captured a Spanish barge, refused to re-
turn it without a positive order front his Admiral.
The barge remained moored to the stern of the
ship.

The Three per Cents. were done at 21} at 60
days, and the Five per Cents. at 26 27f for cash.
and at 26 15-16 27 27f 27 ,27 lat 60 days.
The debt, bearing no interest, sold for 5 at 60.
days, with premium.

We have received all the Paris papers,
which contain a variety of articles on the deplo-
rable state of the wine-trade, the right of search,
and the commercial treaties in negotiation or
contemplation by France. The writers in these
journals seem to have a very strange idea of
commercial treaties, and would agree to no con-
dition which did not give all the advantage to
France. If they were left to manage such affairs
France would indeed be isolated; but Louis
PHILIPPE and M. GrunoT, and the wine-growers
in the south, take a very different view of such
questions, and, being practical men, know that it
would be madness to expect favours from Bel-
gium or England, without giving any in return.
The Courrier Francais has a long article
respecting a report that M. DE ST. AULAIRE had
received instructions from his Government to
propose a modification of the treaties of 1831 and
1833, respecting the right of search. After at-
tempting to defend the conduct of France, in re-
fusing to ratify the
last treaty, it adds:—
" But it may be objected that the treaties of 1831
and 1833 are a regulation now in full life, and re-
spected equally by all those who have signed them.
What ! the English cruisers are to dispense, with re-
spect to our trade, with the necessary formalities ;
they are to ill-use our seamen, pilfer and illegally se-
questrate our vessels; the treaties are to serve as a
means of enabling them to oppress our shipping in-
terest, and we are to be expected to maintain them
for their benefit alone ! Truly, that is not possible.
If the English do not give reparation for their wrongs
towards us, we have the right to procure justice fbr
ourselves. There is no other alternative than this—
England must punish all the officers who have at-
tacked the inviolability of our flag, and indemnify the
shipowners who have been injured, or France is bound
not to renew the warrants of her cruisers. • The war=
rants not being renewed, the treaties will nattrally
fail to the ground. It is now for the English to re-
fleet whether it would not be better for her to modify
the conventions."
In the same angry spirit the Presse adverts
to a commercial treaty with this country, but
towards the conclusion becomes a little more

"The Post-office arrange-
ment," it states, "can be easily concluded.
Everybody will benefit by it—no private or
public interest can suffer from its consequences
either in England or France. We should, for
our part, highly approve of the conclusion of
such an arrangement."
"The Abbe LANEN:f.tis," says the Univers, "has
just arrived at Brest, with six (lay) brethren of
the Christian doctrine, who are to embark in
that harbour-for the 'French West India islands
Two others are shortly to leave for Cayenne.

The Jtotrnal de Rheims announces that the
Champaign wine crop would be this year most
abundant, and the produce of the best quality.
Several sales had already been made in the dis,
tricts of Avize and Cramant, at prices Varying
from 50f. to 80f. per hectelitre, and some even
sold for 100 f. and 103 f. The value of the 18,283
hectolitres produced by those two districts is es-
timated at nearly
1,000,0001.
The Armnricain states, that there are tit pit..
sent in progress of construction at Brest, by order
of the Minister of Marine, immense buildings
for a foundry, and for the construction of steam-

War had ordered considerable additions to be I
made to the fortifications.
The Charivari contains the following letter,
which that witty journal would lead its readers
to believe was written by the notorious DEUTZ,
the betrayer of the Duchess of BERRY :
Let the Royalists overwhelm me with their con-
tempt, I have not the strength to complain ; but those
who, after having incited my treason, have so well
turned it to their profit, ought, in my opinion, to be
the last to throw the stone at me. I allow that all the
world are justified in calling me infamous, and yet
there arc some whom I regard.as more infamous than
myself. Yes, Sir, let it be well known that all has
not been told on the crime to which I had the mis-
fortune to lend my name. Simon Deutz was willing
to accept all the responsibility of the act for the
miserable sum which was paid for it. But a day
will perhaps come • when the veil which now covers
that terrible machination will be torn away, and
each one will assume the part which belongs to him
in the odious scheme of 1832. In the meantime I can
only beg the Orleanist journals to speak of me with a
little more moderation. If they calculate better the
bearing of their insults, they will
i doubtle2s compre-
hend that Simon Deutz has been, n the hands of cer-

tain exalted personages, hut a vile instrument, and
they will judge it proper to keep silence on his ac-
' count. The police, they say, are fatigued with my im-
portunities. I am really' desolate. Have I not had
reason in my time to complain of the importunities of
the police ? Alas! was it not their cowardly and
perfidious solicitations that robbed me of my honour,
and it can be'readily conceived that, however impor-
tunate I may now be to them, I have not the means
of treating them in a similar manner. Strange ! the
police now despise me.. They appear to blush at my
acquaintance; but if I had not been followed by
them, with bZ Thiers at their head, who will i
dare to say that I should not now have been un
