THE TIMES.

Ill I:1N11IO.
On the subject ofour national wrengs says
the Balance We trust there is but one sentl-
,ment in the country. Men of all parties view
the late conduct of the British on our coast,
with mingled emotions of indignation and a.
larin. We arc exposed and defenceless-
War at this time would subject millions of our
property to capture, and our seaport towns
to, inevitable destruction. We have not an
atom of naval protection Our forti6cations
afford but the shadow Of defence. We have
scarcely guns enough mounted on our sea-
coast to Withstand the attack of single ship
of the line. And yet a spirit exists In opr
country that will not brook insult and aggres-
sion---a spirit that will impeN us to avenge
our wrongs at every hazard---a spirlt----but
hold-tLis spirit, unless it be properly che
rished, and receive due direction from the
government, is worse than nothing. 1t will
but serve to expose us to, fresl. outrages
from the British, and the contempt OF the
world. Let our government then arouse -
The voice of the people is loud and distinct
From one end of the union to the other, the
exclamation is----WE ARE READY!

Frem q Paris faafer Of 1Say Esd.

Authentic letters announce, that French
officer dispatched by the ambassador Sebas-
tiani, and repairing to his majesty the empe-
ror Napoleon, to his excellency general An
dreossi, our ambassador at the court of Aus
tria, THE important news, that the army Of the
Russian general Nicholson, had been invest
ed by the Turkish army, and completely
routed. Intelligence was received by the
same channel, that the captain pacha, who
had passed the Dardanelles with ten ships of
the line, put to flight the Russian squadron
stationed off Tencdos. These TIVE events are
neither lcsss glorious for the Ottoman arms,
nor less important fer the fate Of the Porte,
the expulsion of the English fleet rom before
Constantinoplc, and amply make up for the
loss OF Alexandria SO shanlefuiiy surrender
ed to the English general Fraser. Theto5Fn
of I'll essalonica did not follow the example of
Alexandria upon the British presenting
themselves before that place, and sannoning
it to surrender, and send away the French
consul, the Pacha answered them with cannon
balls, and Immediately took such measures as
made them judge proper to seek their safety
in fight.
Translation of an Order Of his Imperial Ma
jesty MuLLY SoLIMAN, Emperor of Mo-
rocco, given at Mogadore, 9th May, 1907.
To all Merchants in Mogadore, Moors, Jews,
@ and Christians:
{ Atthis time have found this place desti-
tute Of goods and such merchandise as is
wanting in the country, and observe the
reason is,, because you do not bring goods
which pay duty, but you only bring hard cash,
which is no profit to me, and ballast which is
an incumbrance.
wish you to bring such goods as are ne-
eesary for the country, and also benefit and
fill the port. For my own part God has not
made them neetful to me for which reason
/ have ordered Ben Absedeck that whoever
does net import goods to the benefit of the
country and empioyment Of the port, brings
only ballast and empty ships, not to suffer
such empty ships to remain In the barber, but
to send them away
And he will allow them sufficient time to
convey this order to their friends. And peace
be with you.

Renshaw my agent at Mogadorc.
