OF the British press, and OF Sr Stra,ofd Canning

'thet he (Stratford Cannng) brought about The tall
of the mighty Ria Pacha," is without the slightest
foundation. The Augsburg Journal generally the

matte rankiales occasion TO be very bitter on her
ancient ally, and It's minister TO the Divan. IL al

readily sacrificed the fate Of the Christians to her
cotton market, and at last exculpated her conduct
by giving Europe to understand that the Christians
in Syria were nothing but "Catholics.' Il is anus

the great powers Of the Old World--their meanness
and their conceii; and how the best friends Eng

interests are concerned. All the powers Of the
tinent must, by degrees, become commercial and
manufacturing rivals Of Great Britain, and, as such
have interest in thw artng her. Austria meets Eng
land in the Levant; and besides, Metternich canno,
with compaisancy behold the manner in which
French and British politics domneer at this mo-
ment in Spain, in Belgium, and, apparently in the
islands Of the Pacific. Speaking of the manner in
which England, at this moment, insists on the pay
ment of her advances to Greece the Augsburg Jour
nal, under date from Constantinople, 9th August
contains the following sarcastic remarks:

The penalty and forfeit Of my bond"

the shortest manner arrived at great result; and
how satisfactory that u.s. can only be appreciated by
those who know the difficulties Of discovering the
truth in the dark labyrinths Of the eunuch-guarded
serago. BY admitting that Ria Pacha fell through
Stratford Canning, 'one reaches at once that high
diplomatic point of view, from which look to the
right and left becomes irresistibly attractive; for he
who once sees that Ria Pacha fell because Canning
wanted il, will also see further, and perceive that
Ria Pacha stood only because Canning held him.
We are satisfied to have gained this new view OF
Turkish affairs. II is indeed an important one; for
il follows from il, that, it, during the last two years.
things were carried on with high hand IN Turkey,
Europe is entitled TO call the British minister to an
account who had the country governed by Ria
Pacha.
five turn toward Syria, we behold in Colonel Rose
q man warmly defended by the legislators of his
country against all who cannot believe that in the
honorable Coonel's instruction there can be found
excuse for his supporting the Druses in their OBJ
s,inae insisting their feudal rights and in his en-
couraging, thereby, their aggressive wars against
the Christians, which, in the Libanon occasioned
the scenes of horror and bloodshed of last spring-a
man whose head is still surrounded by sort Of
halo in the British Parliament, because he once got
out of bed after midnight to take that the guard
of safety which had been allowed the frightened
Christians did not, as usual, Join the assassins.
Pity that the statesman, whose duty it was TO de-
fend the English Syrian policy in Parliament struck
upon the unfortunate idea of avowing that the sym
pathies of England (if we are allowed to speak of
them in regard to Syria) are rather for the Maron-
ties than the Druses and for that purpose alluded
to the fact (Which, in the mouth OF British minis
ter, sounds always cold and frosty) that the Mar
onites are Catholics! Latterly, England has found
very convenient method Of denying and defeating
facts, by averring in Parliament that the accusation
is too absurd to merit serious refutation. Let us
cast a glance at Greece-of which England wishes
nothing more than that, LIST, pay her the capital,
or, at least, interest of her loan as punctualiy as
possible; and, 2dly that it may prosper as well as it
Maryland we have the alpha and omega of man
who, possessed by some evil demon, runs his head
against the ministry Of Koletii. He
carries on his work of destruction so thoroughly
and necessarily that he has not found time to re-
fleet upon the fact that with the ministry Of Kolet-
Il, the dynasty itself must come to the ground But,
in that case, if the whole country be laid PROS
trate, and the inhabitants ruined, the matter would
as is apparent, signify nothing TO John Bull pro-
vided the latter have the money in his pocket, and
n.l
Lyons (the British agent in Athens) will, when the
commence, not forget to take hand
ful Of poor Kolettists after midnight, on board
British steamer, and by that means, be sure Of an
everlasting reputation for British virtue and phan-
thropy"
II appears, really, as il British philanthropy were
at this moment at small dscount--especially since
the continental journals have amused the public with
al,fiesco descriptions Of English warehouses;, and
the horrible scenes of vice and prostitution enacted
there think the abolitionists will after that, rest
with enlistng spinstersthe sensible part
Of the community coming TO the conclusion that
''charity begins at home."
The question about the marriage Of the Queen Of
Spain is not yet setted---the northern powers being
ns yet widely apart from the agreement of England
and France. The most abomnable military des-
potsm, meanwhile, regns in the country; and revo-
uons are only kept down at the point Of the bayo-
net. The Lord take pity on any country which il
once subject to protocols, the direct interference
Of the five great powers of Europe!

The English journals seem extremely anxious to
convince the world that the interference in the af
fairs Of the Buenos Ayres government, and hos
ty to Rosas on the part of England, are founded on
ustifabe causes.
