Naval force, coming from tue Daltlc,"ilI
appear shortly in the British Channel
The squadron is composed Of twenty-five
vessels, and they are all to make for
Brest. A French Naval division is mus
tering at Chebourg. Our ally, however,
is not to be alone in his glory. If France
Is TO have her great Naval demonstra-
ton. so also is England. On Saturday,
the 22d, the Admiralty issued orders for
the whole of the ships now under fitment
at the several dockyards to be got ready
for sea with all expedition, so that we
may have a Naval spectacle about the
same time that the French display will
IKE place at Chebourg."
FRANCE.
The London Times correspondent re-
marks at considerable length upon the
unsatisfactory condition of the financial
and commercial affairs of France. The
state of the agricultural interest has BAT
fed the fairest hopes of prosperity to
which the certainty of an abundant har-
vest had given rise. Agricultural pro-
duce generally, and particularly wheat,
government in q time of plenty retained
the restrictions imposed to prevent the
bad effects in Paris of a scarcity, and
corn importers being thus deceived as to
the quantity of the late harvest, bought
largely at high prices, while farmers were
prohibited from exporting their grain or
disposing of it for distilling. When the
prohibition was removed England had
supplied herself, and distillers wanted
confidence to reopen. The result is a
glut and unprecedented low prices. Far
mers and proprietors sell out their invest
ments, and public securities continue de-
preciated.

quite as independent as the Moldo- Wall

the Sublime Porte has become a solemn
farce beyond Adrianople.
GREECE.
A general rising of the Greek subject
of the Sultan is still spoken of as nc
improbable event. The dream ola Gree
Empire seems to live on in spite Of a
opposition, and in spite Of Europea
guarantees for the integrity of the IurE
ish Empire. And it is likely to do s.
for between the Mussulman and tn
Christian subjects of the Porte there
the double antagonism Of race and reli!
ion.
