taken fright.at the progress of the Rusbian
and France cannot see without grief the miserable fatelij
that is prepared for those populations which always
turned their eye towards her. Rumours are now'
current of a manifestation to be made in common to
force the Divan to adopt a more humane policy towards
Syria. We have no inclination to deny the claims of
humanity, but we are at a loss to comprehend how
France could, without conditions, agree to aid the
plans of England in the East. We received in 1840
a lesson that nobody—Government or people—ought '1
to forget. What is taking place at present was fore- '
seen by France, and she even tried to prevent the
evil of which England now complains. The increase' ;/(1
of Russian influence was generated by the treaty of
1840 ; and at present, when the sad consequences of ''lll
that proceeding are displayed in the full light of day "11
the Cabinet of London is anxious to make use of'
France against Russia, as she made use of Russia; 1"
against France two years back. This_ ught not to be
allowed, and the feeling of our insulted nationality..
ought, in this circumstance, to have greater weight -
with us than those instincts of humanity which have ',35
been so often taken advantage of against us.

So then, there is a class of persons 'calling them-
selves
politicians and statesmen in France, who would
see the. streets of Jerusalem running with Christian it
blood rather than forego the indulgence of a petty
spite against England ; These sans culottes of the i.
revolution 'of July, would coolly look on while Tur-
key, at the instigation of Russia, was saturating the
mountains of Libanus with Christian blood— the sure r,
and inevitable prelude to her own extinction by the ,
merciless arm of the Czan—and all this to gratify a.
malignant feeling against this country ! The confes •
sion is a miserable one, at once betraying hatred, jea-
lousy, and fear. It is not thus that a great and chi- -`,
valrous people should act. It is not thus that a people,
strong in their own valour and their own resources,
would propose to act. In the face of such an emer-.
gency we should expect to address:. England
something to the following effect :—" A common
friend is in danger. Let us cease our petty disputes,
and save him. When we have discharged what a
common duty requires at our hands, we will return
to the settlement of our private quarrel." A man i
may dislike his neighbour, and yet hurry with him t•
to save from the flames the house and:family of a third
person living in the same street. •
The Presse, the organ of Count MOLE, defends the
conduct of the Government. It takes nearly the,
same view of the question that we have done, and.
had we seen it previous to making the few obser-
vations which appear above, an extract from it would
have embodied something of our meaning. But it ill
evident that the Eastern question is again rising into
great importance, and that unless a change take place
in the councils of the Porte, it will be all to settle
over again.
The Moniteur of the sth of September, publishes
in its official part a Report of the Minister of Public-
Instruction to the King, followed by several ordi-'
nances on the subject. '
We find the following passage in the ~Courrier dr
Lyon of the 4th For some time past much has
been said of the lamentable state of the manufactures
of Lyons, in which the amount of the goods manu-
factured daily decreases. This inaction of our work-
men is, doubtless, only momentary, but it is, neverthe-
less, to be greatly deplored at the approach of winter,
which brings with it so many expensive wants. It
may be said that at this moment all the principa!
branches of manufactures are in a depressed state,
only two in three give some signs of life, these are,
shawls, and plain and figured velvets."—Le Conti'
tutionnel.
It appears from the statistical tables drawn up 1?1
the War Department, that the provinces of Algeria
contain about 5,600,000 inhabitants, including' the
French and foreigners who have settled in the coUn'
try since our conquest in 1830. The army is not
included.
On the 2d of September M. Thiers passed througb
Cantray, returning to Lille. We see that he did not
stay long in Holland thoroughly to study the syster?
of embankment draining, and as a Hague journal sata•
It is true M. Thiers studies quickly ; we have 1164
forgotten that in his excursion to England some years
ago, he told the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he
would spare half an hour to make himself acquainted
with the financial system of Englam4.--Coinmeree.
