The French are In a fever of patriotism
once more. This Russian Government has
decided to station 3 squadron in the Medit-
erranesn, and i Is TO pay q complimentary
visit TO Toulon. The authori,iesI intend
to receno it with the highest honors; and it's
more than probable that during the festivj-
ties very imprudsut things Will be aud.
This causes SOM anxiety, more especially as
it is rumourcd that the French intend to ledss
a naval station to the Russians, probably on
the coast of Tunis. 1t may even be Bieor-
ta. Tbs new project alarms the Sultan, who
has thus a Russian Fleet to the west Of him
Italy, which VIII be directly threatened if the
war breaks out; and even England, which sees
the French Fleet practically strengthened for
a descent on Egypt. 1t will be necessary OF
strengthen our fighting force and coal supply
in the Mediterranean, and it is possible that
Germany may contemplate $ naval station IN
that sea. She could obtain one from
Italy or under certain circumstances, from
Spain, which relies ON the Triple Alliance to
protect her reversionary claims in Morocco.
The Gar is understood to be as peaceful as
ever but it certainly looks rs if his advisers
were preparing for eventualities both as
against the League Of Peace and Great Brit
Ain Lsrsolf. All one can say is, that the re-
.ponsibilitv on the Admiralty to be complete
" ready has been seriously increased.
The latest news from Brazil Is that ,,the in
surgsnt Fleet is firing on Rio, preforring the
destruction of the capitol to a party defeat.
The old Emperor would not fire even upon
rebels; hut republicans, in South America at
least do not value either human life or national
prosperity. 1t is rumoured that enc Of the
forts in the harbour has joined the rebels
and whether this is true or not, the prospects
of the Government do not look bright. II
they. wore, the telegraph would not be
seized. nor would the agents of the Govern
ment be instructed to circulate statements SO
palpably absurd.
The Young Czechs of Bohemia have car
ried their home rule aspiration a step too
far. AS long an they only demanded that the
Emperor should be crowned in Bohemia, as
in Hungary, and that there should be a Sc
parate Bohemian Ministry, the Government
were indisposed to take harsh measures. They
have recently, however, been riotous IN the
Diet, have shown a disposition to intrigue
with France, aud have been advocated the

blished at Cali in Cauca on the Pacific coast.
It is deserving Of mention that Efforts are be-
ing made every whero to establish new indus

sources Of the country could be advantageous

The steamer Mexican of the West In liz
and Pacific Steamship Company, lately took
in a cargo of mahogany aggregating 1000 tons
