France is for war; / ouis Philippe is forpeace
Theirs to use strong phrase OF Lamartine,s,
wants to get for himself half line in history.
Louis Philippe kno7oS that France is not able
to battle against Europe, which it should do il
she wars at all. The prevailing belief is that
the King has said ''{CatteT than see this country
plunged into an unnecessary acdr, shall Gbdt-
cate and retire to England" By the way,
William of Holland has abdicated. His son is
on the throne. The ex-King, at the ago of 6S,
could not manage kingdom, but wants to mar
nv a far subject. 1t is easier to manage a young
wife than a small kingdom.
Theirs has been casting paper pellets at Pal
merston. His dispatches are long, but merely
amount to this, that France would shew fight
I-theEe is much virtue in your lfand but
Meanwhile, the day before yesterday, the
king was shot at, by man named Darbes, as he
was passing along the quay of the Tuilleries,
on his way back to st. Cloud. The king and
his attendants were unhurt. The muslzet burst
as It went off and wounded Darbes in the Shout
der. The man was arrested and confessed his
desire and design OF killing the king, the ma
+. ton required war, and by removing the chief
opponent to war, lac would be serving the nation.
| Darbes denies that he has any accomplIces. He
is from Marscilles, The King, as he always
does on such sccasions (and they have been dis
gracefully freguen3 behaved with great cour-
| age.

| clear that this murderous attempt would not be
| made At this crisis, rational man, like Louis
| Philippe, anxious to avoid war for wars sake,
would be sorelv iaissed Again say that any
war now undertaken by France, would be a war
| with Europe. God avert such misfortune to
| the human race
The matter will end thus, l think. The Pacha
| of Egypt will be allowed to retain what he has
| Syria Tor lile.and Egypt an hereditary king
dom. He has been formally deposed by the Sal
tan, ard the consuls of the allied powers have
| quilted Alexandria, but this can easily be adius
ted. Personally, Mehemet Ali is acting in
digniEed manner. He has declared that the
overland mail from and to India may pas,
through his dom MONS just the same as when he
was on the best terms with England. Say VIVA
they may the Pacha is great man audit would
be pity TO see him sacrificed or hardly deal
with. His only fault now is that he is far in ad
vance OF his contemporaries in tle East. 1t i
said that Lord Grenville has pledged himself t.
France that Egypt shall not be taken from tn,
Pacha.
English and other families are quitting Pari
with all speed. All the Russians here have bee
formally recalled. This falls heavy on the youn
} PElncess de Montiort, "a BucRaparte) who ha
obtained leave TO reside with Count Demido
Fher IlusbQnd] in Paris, and Nvllo married him,
| issaid IL order to have that leave. I1s is re
called &c Russia, and she will.syinter at St. Pc
tersburgh, and not at Paris. she was t. hav
kept open house here during The winter. Their
is a Il ussian lady, the Princess Rragatinywho ha
been a sort of leader Of the ton during the las
twenty. years, ana she, too, will have 70 go bac
| to Russia.
! The Duke OF Nemou1v has given IGc, 90
francs for the Chateau dc CourbevoIe, wher
Dupuytrcn and Fontanes reside. 1t is just OF
\ posite Neuily. At Toalen and all the outpost
the most extensive naval and military operation
are going on. This looks waclike.
