which the following is the substance:—

" Thip Persian Ambassador did not much relish
Vienna, nor was be himself much relished there.—
This reciprocal distaste arose from the Weighty to

" There is every reason to believe, that the whole

most favourable terms with any fodependeat force."

French Papers were received at a late hour, last
night. By them we OUP informed of nothing imme-
diately interesting. We say, nothing immediately
interesting, because we see something in than
remedy interesting. The Noniicur states, that
the French navy nerd no longer look to the
North of Estop for pitch and tar, which,

lity as to render France independent for the future of
all supplies from foreign countries.
The French ere ant ingenious People; they may also
be considered as in the road to being a great nation :
for as their Kiog seems disposed to make one with
the People as to their interests, views, sod happiness,
in defiance and neglect of the wishes of the Ultras,
Tories, and Whip, it is not possible to say what
those neiatibours slay become. They may possesa

for want of ansmonision. Now, it seems, they
have found another estential article of warlike
mussitiosi, without fetching it from a distant clime.
They may also think it sight to augment their
navy—they may think It feasible one day to
make another attempt to obtain the key of the,
long-contended-for gate of the Channel. We have
no wish, however, to mite premature fears.—
, Statesmen ought to discern objects at a distance. In

this eventful crisisof its history and fate. Attenuated
in every point by the weakness and wickedness of a
set of Ministers who ought to have been brought to
their account years ago !
In casting oar eyes over as proceedings in our
own Senate, what thinking mass can preserve his
calmness to hear it asserted, that a private bar.
gain is more beneficial to the Nation than sell-
ing its spare stores by open competition! If
ithe Member for Haslensere be right, then have
we all lived in lain as in esperience and rea-
sooing. No, no ; the purchaser. were not so pa-

pourable and Worthy Alderman will mein* this
c4ounis and gunpowder sale to the very tordasek.
So far is the eqoalitstion of the Coal Doty at se
end. for the present at least. The manufacturers in
the iron counties may therefore be at rest ; but ought
the people of the Metropolis to be cunteoted ender
so partial a in ? They may consider it as partial
end oppressive, without meaning to throw the burden
on those who cannot bear it. Besides, the greatest
portion of the tas instituted was to pay a s—t

ought to make It edifies in the eyes of every man

It will be noted by the Public, though not with
surprise, how very steady the Funds have remained
for the last ten or twelve days. Nothing is likely le

So for true is it, and we lament that it is so, that the
affairs of this greet Commercial Body of Gentlemen

S.r F. Buirocirr to the HOW, of Commons, from the
