Bells Weekly Messenger says:
"Ihe question nov is, what course will
Frante pursue upon the conquest sad pos
session Of Algiers? VIII she maintain a gar.
rlson at the expense OF the klgoriaes? viii
she form the territory Of the ~yanquished bar
haIian Into a French settlement, and make
it q stepping stone to Egypt? Or viii she,
after having procured al decentralization for
the expense Of the expedition, and razing the
walls of the city, re embark her army quietly
for TOuloa? These are all questions of great
Political Importance, aad perhaps only 10 be
settled by negotiations with other states OF
Europe.
Our own opinion is-that the policy Of
France will be what her interest shall die
tate; and her interest undoubtedly is, to es-
tabllsh herself on the Mediterranean shores
ia q position every way favorable for her pre-
tectloG and aggraudiaCmen ia future wars.
1--WE see no reason whatever why the 9th
er States Of Europe should entertain any lea
lousy upon this head. To England, possess.
lns Gibraltar and Aalta-th The keys gfthe Me
diterranean, ard the 0utposls of Egypt, the
establishment OF q French naval pOwerat AL
slers can be no mers formidable than u de
pet at Niarseiilss or Teuloun. France never
wanted available maralime stations ia these
seas-she has them in abundance.
"For ourselves we confess that we lock
further, and do not regard the introduction
of the French power into AlsierS with tie
least Jealousy. We earnestly desire the ci-
viIlgation Of Africa, and we wi,h 10 see this
civil amelioratisa begin upon the shores of
the Mediterranean We have tried in vaia
n other quarters ofthe globe to communicate
the blessing OF knowledge, and the e~onsola-
tons Of religion, to this unhappy pcaple-thc
descendants Of Cain, ALWAYS la5orisg at the
car, and Juggling at the Atlantic sall&Iy. We
have found Sierra Leone the grave of all
who have been sent thiiher. 1t is time, there
fore, that another corner Of Africa should be
trIed, in order to let in some portion OF thai
light in which Europe las SO lons ba,led."
