France, Gndecd SO long as the former shal
have the empire of the seas, the Arab may
be always expected to break through tllt
treaty he has concluded with the latter--bu
notwithstanding the GOODNESS we have Just
remarked, and in spite of other circumstan
ces to which we shall presently refer, there
Is no reason for anticipating an early guar.
rel between those nations.
The most recent intelligence from Con
stantlnople 9th ApriD spoke of the con.
tinued preparations Of the Porte for war
with Mehcmet Ali, no doubt, for no othel
enemy presented itself) On his side, the
vlceroy Of Egypt was already ina condition
to re- commence hostilities, with every pros
pect or rather every certainty of success
The policy Of England and France, howcv.
er, would not suffer that war to be renewed
between the sultan and his vassal, so that
there was also no real danger for the mo.
ment existing. In Persia the English began
TO experience better treatment, and to feel q
return Of confidence, which induced then
to forward large orders for goods 10 Eng
land. This improl ement was not, howev-
er, the result of any alteration in the shah's
real feelings, but of apprehension on his
part. His ambassador to the court of Lon.
don had not yet left Paris, as he had receiv-
ed an intimotion through Lord Granville
that he would not be received. He specu-
lated, however, upon an alteration IN the
views of the British government, when it
should become known, as he said it would,
that the shah was disposed to make to
Great Britain every required concession.
The English and the Russians were appa-
rently, once more, on good terms; but dis
trust of the latter was, whether just or un-
just, so general in England, that all the ami
cable professions Of the Emperor were dis
credited. The Imperial Crown Prince, his
son, had been during several months travel
ling in the south of Europe. He proposed
visiting England, but received in Holland an
order 10 the effect that he must not follow up
that intcntion-although he had arrived SO
near to England as the Hague. Alarmed
for the consequences of this aiTront, the En-
peror Nicholas suddenly changed his mind.
and despatched by cabinet messenger per-
mission for bis imperial highness to proceed
forthwith to London, where las our London
letters show lie arrived ON the 4th ut. A
truce may therefore be said to have been
agreed upon between those powers, for in
France it was not believed that real feelings
of confidence and mutual good will had been
restored or existed. The English were, as
our London letters show, increasing their
naval force, and had directed thar their Lc-
want fleet quit Smyrna, in order to observe
that of the Russians, las indeed had the
French fleet also.) These facts indicate
only precauton, however. "Observation,"
although rksome, is not an act at which
Russia can take offence. The English were,
we should add, actively pushing the commu-
nlcations with India through Egypt, regard
less of the jealousy of Russia. She thus
displays distrust and daring, which are not
nevertheless likely to he resumed, SO that,
unless some unforeseen incident embrace
them, there appears no present likelihood of
war between Russia and England.
Affairs in Spain had undergone no altera-
ton. Espartero and Maroto had respective
ly made some movements, but nothing of
Importance resulted from them. The opin-
ion stillremaned Notwithstanding the fai'-
ure of NJ. Zea Bermudez in his mission to
the courts of Berlin and Austria,) that an
amlcable arrangement was on tile tapis.
Or the whole, therefore, the state of
France is satisfactory. That of the rest of
Europe suggests no fears for the immedi-
ate or very speedy interruption oIthe statu
quo.
The French Funds had improved, but the
shares in joint stock undertakings, with the
exception of the Caisse LqfHe, had not i'm
proved in any Sc nsible degree.
