ENGLISH AND FRENCH ALLIANCE
From the London Newsl
French and English interests identical in the Le-
want The truth may be that have real, serious,
commercial interests in those regions, whilst the interests
of France merely those of pride and amour pe 1t
may be But in these different aims England and

feather in her cap be the protectres of eastern Cath
olics and having given her word to the Danubans,
may feel her pride and honor than her interest en-
gagged in keeping these promises. We should not quar-
rel with France these minor points The French En-
peror feels that ho has expended much blood and treasure
in defence of the Ottoman empire He has asked nothing
In return except their old privileges and rights for the
Modo Waachians Yet this only demand Of France the
Porte peremptory refuses And England abes the Porte
with vehemence of indignation and mass OF intrigue
and violence equally disgracefu and revolving The re-
suit has been to disgust France with the Turks with the
English alliance and with the altogether And then
Russia forward with nsidous courtesy to offer her
friendship and alliance.
To these advances France at first responded with great
alacrty and NJ dc Momy the representative of the Rus
soFrench alliance, made progress for time. But

of affection evinced between Paris and ST. Petersbugh
And whatever the real facts of the the patent

Let hope that Of the results may be better un-
dersanding between England and France in the affairs Of
the Levant and the Euxne We are by means OF
opinion that this should be purchased by the sacrifice Of
any object Of national pride European interest But
to remain friends with France, and to her
from Russia, must to quarrel with, and show
jealousy Of the French government minor questions.
Because Frenchman proposes to cut through the 18TH

would be lost endangered thereby, simply because
ships iyht I've before as
we had not India itself, its ports and its navy. Be-
the Moldavans and Wallachans demand united
Christian, and an economical government and be-
cause France approves the demand, we are not to
close eyes to what is generous and liberal in the
French proposal in order to suppose an evil and in
sdious design France thinks that if two countries
have gone to eEuxne and saved Turkey it is not to let
Turkey and their Christian population rot under an inf
msrule which dees either progress ormprovement
Let not couneract fair purpose the part Of
France by ourselves siding all occasions and upon all
questions with Austria notorously the most retograde
power Europe Let go along with France whenever
and wheesoever France is the side of progress instead
Of cavng with her for that portion of her policy which
is liberal, and then Teproaching the Emperor with the in

that the Emperor Of the French ut Osborne in inn
ation OF the Emperor Nicholas at Windsor has profeed

offer would have been graceful but is not we think
likely to have been made. These days of policy not

Five meetings announced for the current week,
the sport commencing yesterday at Woyerhampton and

The Lewes meeting seems likely to improve under its
present management but after horses have been hardly

rienced not only in obtaining starters, but in pro-
