Should this spirit extend, and should the revolters

than we possess in the virtues of the Koran to
sure us that Aid -el- Kader will not seek his own

Gsd. For the sake of universal humanity, 50 often

we trust that the Arab chief will be content to live

THE RELEAsE-THE INTERVIEW BETWEEN LOUIE
NAPOLEON AND THE EllIR.
From the Paris Monteur
The Prince has marked the end OF his tour by
great act Of justice and national generosity-he has
restored Add Ell Kader to liberty. This act has
long been decided in his mind (; he wished to carry
it into effect as circumstances should permit
him to follow, without any danger to the country,
the suggestions of his heart. At present, France
has too legitimate confidence in his strength and
his rights, not to show herself great towards
vanquished enemy. In returning to Paris, the
having seen Abd-elKad informed him Of the
end Of his captivity in the following terms;-

These noble words deeply moved the ex-Emr;
After having expressed to his highness his respectful
and eternal gratitude, no swore on the Koran that
he would never attempt to disturb our rule in At

terror design, to the will Of France. Add. el-Kader
added that it would be quite to mistake the spirit
and the letter of the law of the Prophet to imagine
that it allowed any violation Of engagements to-
wards Christians; and he pointed out to the Prince
without any exception or reservation, whoever vo-
lates sworn faith, even with unbelievers. In the
opinion Of NIL intelligent Arabs, the conquest of
Africa is fat acconpH; they see in the constant
the will Of God. loyal and generous policy is the
only one that BELTS great nation, and France will
be thankful to the Prince for having followed it.

boise until all the necessary measures have been
taken connected with his removal and his residence
at Broussa.

The Naval Force OF the United States.
From the London Mercantile Gazette Oct. q.
A great object with the United States Of America,
for q considerable time past-indeed wo may say,
ever since l79O, when the innuepenaence OF the
crtul naval force not indeed, by building ships of
war, to rot in their harbors, and be periodically
broken up, but by insuring for the country numo-
body of seamen, available ut any time for the
purposes of war. But even if war were never con-
templated by this extraordinary republic, its geo.
graphical situation would show the people that all
their strength and power, oil their wealth and pros.
perity, must be sought for through tine medium Of
the ocean. The whole territory lies along the sea-
coast, open to and inviting the trade of every
nation. Its internal communication is conducted by
mighty rivers such as are only known in America,
and by vast lakes, which, from their extent, are in
themselves inland oceans. The United States are
not insular, like Great Britain, but for all the pur
poses of commerce they are quasi insular. Elk.

America 1t did not require any premeditated plan
to make America a naval power. Before the peo-
pie lay the ocean, behind them almost impanetra-
bic forests and they naturally launched their barks
upon the deep as their only means OF intercourse
with the rest Of the world, the great highway by
which all those operations would have to be carried
on that were to make the country what it has be-
come-a great and powerful nation.
Fisheries and maritime commerce are the obvious
means by which the seamen are trained and pre-
pared for their hazardous pursuit. and the northern
portion of the United States, as New England,
Massachusetts,, sc equally with our North Ameri.
can colonies, had embarked extensively in the fish
American revolution. During the recent dispute
on the fishery question: this has been put forward as
one Of the claims of the United States fishermen

waters before the Revolution, and that it was an
inherent and inslienable right Of which they could

States have made extraordinary advances in this
way. The merchant tonnage of the latter country
in particular is fast approximating TO an equal
amount with the British tonnage and, according
to the speculations Of tho Americans, will soon sur

appearance, we think by no means improbable
