TIE experimental Squadron, which consists
Of seven Of The finest ships Of the line and a
number Of steamers, have sailed from Spitkead
on short cruise up the Mediterranean. The
manGuvring Of this squadron attracted Inn

kingdom to Portsmouth, and admiration has
been warmly called forth by the firm trim and
splendid tactics of these vessels Of war.
The Provision Trade, says Wilmer & Smith,
is no, brisk, and prices are receding. Nearly
all kinds OF Irish provisions have given way
during the past few days, caused in great
measure, by the immense arrivals from the u
States, and sIIll more from the superior quail
ty OF the American articles The Provision
trade with the Union promises TO become one
Of the greatest importance. We proenosticated
this from the first moment that PEEL's tariff
was proposed, now some three or four years
ago. The provisions are now cured in style
which hits the palate Of John Bull. and increa-
sed popularity and better prices is the result.
FRANCE.
There does not appear TO be any intelligence
of importance from France

pondent of Wilmer 4 Smiths Times thus
speaks of our Mexican affairs:
The state of affairs between the u. States
and Mexico excites considerable interest here;
but little is said thereon, either in conversation
or by the newspapers. The latter, however,
carefully translate all intelligence they can find
in the American or English papers bearing
upon the subject. OF course, there is but one
opinion, that if the poor devils of Mexicans GO
to war with the United States, they will get a
most terrible licking From what can col
lect, am Of opinion that if the United States,
at present, were TO attempt 10 conquer Mexico,
or even to annex any considerable portion oil
its territory, they would cause great dissats-
faction in France; and, in all probability
would have to encounter the decided hostility
of the French Government A reference 10

es very great importance TO the preservation
Of Mexico as a separate nation, and that, apart
from that consideration, it would regard unfa-
vorably any further ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of the u
STATES.
Mr. Polk, it is true, has declared that Meth
er France nor England shall interfere in the
affairs Of the American continent but, then,
M. GuIZoT has also declared in the most for
NAL manner, in the name Of France that il
will, in spite of Mr. Polk, interfere as often,
and in such manner, as it pleases in American
affairs. say again, then, that my opinion is
that any seizure Of Mexican territory by the
U. States Government would be stoutly objec-
ted to by France and, no doubt, also by Eng
land. 1t would be ludicrous in me to presume
to advise American statesmen as to the
course to adopt in the present posture OF
affairs but say to American journalists
Wait! Wait Wait! Wait and in few years
Mexico will be yours; but if you attempt to
seize it now, or any portion Of it, you will
most likely have to count with England and
France, and in that case you may depend up
on it that England and France united will be
too strong fof you.
Lecomte, the wretch who fred at LOUIS
PHILIPPE, has not been brought TO trial II
appears that the crown lawyers have reason
to suspect that he was the tool of political fac
tons. AT one time it was believed that he
was employed by the legitimists lately it APP
pears 10 be suspected that he was melted 10 the
crime by the republicans. Dsscents of the
police have been made in the houses of sever
al members of both parties, but nothing disco
sered Of eliminating character. The public
opinion is, as at first, that the fellow had no.
thing TO do with any political party, and had
no acconlplioes. His crime was the result OF
private vengeance.
1t appears quite certain that the much talk
ed-of visit of the Queen Of England to Paris
will not take place, at all events this year.
MRHEMnr AIRS son, IBRAHM PAsHA, is in
Paris, and is lion Of the first order. He oc-

and every thing worthy Of notice. He is LODI

sion belonging to the State, and all the honors
that the Government can show TO royalty have
been heaped upon him.
