CoLLUsIvE CON TRACTS.


In addition to the strong reproach of official cor
rupton cast upon the present French Administra-
ton by the conviction, before the Chamber Of
Peers, of several members of the Ministry and
their confederates for bribery among other recent
disclosures we have the following very hagtious
case of fraud in the collusve supply Of Goals for
steamers on the African and other stations of the
French marine. So far the war in Algiers is
concerned this is sort of cheating in the wares Of
death, and il has, therefore, kind Of mercy in il
which mercy, however, was not precisely the
motive Of the culprts, either private or govern
mental. We recommend the example to the atten-
ton of certain " vigorous" managers of operations
OF destruction against our own neighbors. The
utter improvidence and confusion of their commits
sarial arrangements make like waste certain to
have occurred, TO be occurring, and to continue
occur, while the present Mexican war, conducted so
far beyond the inspection of the public eye, shall
last and their notorious principle of dealing out
Jobs as well Offices to the untrustworthy in re-
ward for the worst partisan services renders them
obnoxious to all the guilt of any such peculation
as has vet been disclosed or will soon be brought
to light, probably in. vast abundance. We mean
not of course to intimate the slightest doabt against
the fidelity or The efficiency of the proper military
commissariat, which is irreproachable our iniima-
ton aims only at those civil employees and con-
tractors, who are paid off for their pernicous poll
