The latest information which has reached us from
the most Trustworthy quarters in Paris is of nature
TO strengthen hopes of an amicu BILE arrangement
of the Affairs Of the east The orders which have
been transmitted to the French fleet are understood

II is pretty obvious that the strong feeling, which
suddenly pervadea the French community, inpci-
ling with equal vehemence the popuace the pacific
middle classes, and the highest ranks, forced upon
the king and he government the adoption of a bold
attitude towards England. Sc far compliance with
the has impulse OF the people was perhaps essen
