Marine Department at their real weight 1t Is right to OBJ
that this coal which destined to be consumed
entrepot, was not subject to any duty"
The National contains the following on the subject
"The house Of Hanter and Decaens had contract for
supplying Goals TO six of naval stations in Africa Goee
Gabon &C. This contract has existed for two years. during
which time the house has furnished more than 49, 900 Of
COAL BY the conditions of the agreed that
the price to be paid should not be calculated according the
quantity said be shipped at Have but the actual guam

the State ought pay if the quantity found

men had taken this excellent precauon for the very simple
that it much easy to watch 1t at Sierra
Leone at Goee than at Havre This cunning combina-
ton has produced the admirable results BY curious
chance the constant repetition Of which is, however, truly
Marvellous is discovered that vessels leaving Havre with
200 tons of coal have arriving Goee, from $50 $50
tons board Some of those instances pro-
dgious vessel he Louise) Of 400 tons had
400 tons of coal shipped board Of her at Newcastle

The Louise proceeded her destination and when she
rived there the agents affirmed that this vessel which only
measured 400 TONS discharged consequence of the eas

the influence of sea-sckness unheardof phenome
But of what to deny the miracle the agents
Of the Government declared that they had received $50 TONS
and the for that quantity paid the contractor al
though he had himself declared that he had only shipped 400
tons board vessel which could only carry that quantity.
The public well understands that this kind of operation would
give profit enough to enable the contractors gain money!
although the coal costs them than the price they receive
for from the State, and the Government proud of having
made such bargan-every one therefore pleased The
trade of Havre were, however, surprised that the house in
question should get rich at what might rather be supposed
would ruin them and thanks to the ndsceton of the
sagaciy of another and the good character of employees
of the marne the truth at last discovered However,
ought add that NJ Haner declares that it he him
self who had lately informed the Government of these pro-
ceedings."
A late number of the London Morning Chroni-
Gle contains sort Of semi-assertion to the Euro
pean Cabinet which was connected with the plan
of Paroles for restoring Monarchy in MEXICO,
which must carry with ii, from that journals posi-
ton, some authority. 1t is as follows:
'sThe of Paroles has naturally created great
saton IN the States The probable result of his reap
pearance the of will be put entirely of
Santa Annals power TO realize any Of those pacific intentions
which of late he has been reported entertain And should
Paroles, appears not impossible reach Mexico before the
fate Of that city is decided the chances Of its successful resist
will be considerably improved He and Santa Anna
may perhaps agree waive their quares for me and uni
ting their energies and their influence they might obtain
success which neither Of them sngly could hope for
The Washington Union attacks the captain of the Bri-
fish steamer from which Paroles landed having violated
the neutrality Of this country by introducing so decided
enemy into their ports and without acquantng them with his
character But it really does not appear that the captain
knew, or any board knew, who Paroles He
talked very freely of Mexican affairs any else might
have done. The hearty abuse Santa Anna, in which he
is said to have nduged might have rather led the captain to
look upon him friend, and enemy to the United
States As TO the impuatons in which Of the Ameri-
papers have INDUCED against the English Government
because Paroles permitted embark from Southampton
they nefaby preposterous England free country,
and has no system of passports with which to eer the mo-
tons of any man Of any country who chooses TO visit her
shores 10 leave them As for Paredes if he carries with
him the germs Of any European ntrgues, it in the T
ries the Rue de Courcees that they concocted
Christina had time ago, and perhaps has STILL the notion
that it would be possible establish the Munoz dynasty
the throne of Mexico The expedition to the ECUADOR which
England nPped in the bud, intended merely step
ping stone to extensive dominion in the hemi-
sphere"
Certainly Paroles came directly from Paris, and
is not known TO have had any communication with
European Cabinets, unless il be with the quasi one
of Christina or that of Louis Philippe. But it is
little likely that he would make himself the insru-
ment of Munoz intrigue, and risk his life for the
royalty of pretenders able to lend no help TO the
Mexican cause, and 10 whom the slightest popu-
larity there is unattanable without their having
rendered some assistance TO Mexican nationality
4 What scheme the Government of Louis Philippe
may have meditated we cannot pretend to say but
we can conceive of no benefit to accrue, from
Mexican throne 10 that dynasty. For our part
we can see nothing in the ex-Presdent's return to
his distressed country but the natural resolution Of
brave man, whom the visible struggle of his native
land for her very existence has brought back not
for any political project but simply to share, if he
cannot aid in ayerting, her destruction. In peo-
! pies last extremity. patriotism much more devot-
/ ed than any which General Paroles has yet had
need TO exert has often been seen 10 rouse itself in
men much less courageous and ,rue-hearted than we
have any reason for supposng that leader to be.
We see, therefore, nothing to alter or even affect
our original opinion-the opinion that the idea of
Paroles and his friends, thai Nerico must recur
10 kingly Institutions, in order to give vgor and
unity to her Government and must ddopt branch
of some European monarchy, in order to enlist for
eign aid, was entirely Of Mexican origin and IN
der the circumstances the natural consequence of
\ the invasion by the armies Of the United Staes
The party in Mexico who embraced this idea was
always manifestly very small one but as for the
idea ITSELF we consider it clearly to have been sug-
aested to them by the Cabinet of Washington here,
much more than by any intrigue of their own or of
any European politicians.
That Paroles is capable Of selfsacrifice is made
manifest by the very scheme which he embraced
/ He was at the height of power: and vet he could
