molt Alexandria and Constantinople?"

Having put the question thus trongly, the French journd proceed to demolish the notable argument of French gM’misterml pers, that Russia is non“ thus In concert wit ‘England for no other »: than 'ntain the Turkish empire, and. ‘ nstantinoplc : annsros signs a treaty with Russia. Why? the Russians from enteringConstantinople. ed ‘the treaty? Russia herself. To that ,Q is eagerly negociating for a year, and sending M. - “anew repeatedly to London, merely to shut up against herself the road to Constantinople? Bltl'does not every one know that tltis has been the cliiefaim of Russia or many a year, that she has been demolishing piecemeal the Turkish empire for the last century. and that the copestone of its policy in this, is to separate France from England ? This is what it has been la- boull'lng for, and what it ltas achieved in the treutv, which is nothing else than the delivery by Lord l’ifl- merston of the keys of Constantinople to the Russians. ‘It is a treaty ufpartiti'm—a disguise."

To such a treaty France, according to the French

, cannot consent. Parliament will do justice by the Minister who ratified it. England cannot betray the interests of European civilization and in- dependence, and, in the very act of ot‘so doing, de-

de herself to the second rank. , , , The Constitutionml mocks the philanthropy of ' Lord PALMERSTON in seeking to liberate the Chris- ; firms of Lebanon at the price of European war, and ‘ insists that some ambitious theme must lurk be-

math.

The Qtwtidienne has the following observations on the probable consequences of a war:—“ If M. ‘g'l'hiers be resolutely decided for war, there is a chance of his having his own way, for the Minis- terial papers ' thoroughly. But the ques- tion has become \f polemics, even in the dynastic press. If ‘ Iggle were to‘commence, ‘ question of «their t _ would be lost in that of ’,revolution. It is not a defensive war, but a war , terest, which France would be called upon to “make ; it is a war of principles and of propaganda.

The contest would be, not to know whether Syria

shall belong to the Sultan or to Mebemet Ali, but

whether revolution or monarchy shall govern the world. The whole of Europe would be shaken b a revolutionary war, and it does not belong to M. iers or any body else, to prevent such a result. Let a single gun be fired on the banks of the Rhine, and either conquered Europe must submit to the revolution, or France must be invaded. The war once commenced can end in no other way.”

Tm: VICTIMS or JULY, 1830.—The following are some particulars of the exhumation of the bodies of the victims in front of the Louvre in Paris :—_-

‘ Afier digging down about five feet a range of 12 bo- Idies was found, the bones of which had become blackened, but the skulls were in tolerable preser- vation. Here and the ‘ me ntsnf clothing were to be seen, the rest avift’g" een destroyed by the quick lime thrown into the grave. Under a second bed of lime another range of skeletons was come to; these were much ‘more perfect, and the skulls retained their teeth almost entire, and which, from their whiteness, showed that their victims were mostly young men. The garments in which they were enveloped were in a good state, except the linen; which had entirer disappeared, while

the sh V ’.were almost completely perfect. 011 com- ing to the third tier, it was found to have con- taine V 1'. less than 25 bodies, the skulls and spines

of which were perfect, and in other respects pre- sented nearly the same appearance as those above them. The whole number of skulls taken up were sixty, although the list given in did not mention more than thirty two. It was, however, ascertained that 27 of the Swiss guards were buried at the Lou- vre. As it was not possible to distinguish these last from the rest, the whole of the remains were put into the coflins, and thus the bones of the poor Swiss repose under the column of July with the defenders of that liberty which they contended against. Among the rest was found the skeleton of a woman, which was recognised by the fragments of a female dress, and 'by a pair of gold ear-rings. ’ Two five franc

v c which she must have had in her ocket, fell " .. und when she Was taken up. here was ' ' found the skeleton of a child, which, as well ' the woman, was placed among the bones , . with which they had for ten years lain quiet- r earth. . , '

On Monday evening last, a Special Meeting of the Charlottetown Temperance Society was held, by appointment, in the Baptist Chapel. The meeting havv ing been opened by prayer, the President Introduced to the Society the Rev. Mr. Topper, from Nova Scotin, who had kindly engaged to address the meeting. Whereupon the Rev. gentleman came forward, and delivered an in- teresting and animated address, setting forth, in a plain and practical manner, some of the many advantages de- rivable from Temperance operations, and urging the im- - and'necessity ofcontinued and perseveringexer- 7 he “ good work.” ’ ihe close ot‘the address, the Rev. gentleman appeal- ed, in confirmation ofsome of his statetncuts, to the pro- fessional knowledge of Dr. John Weddell, from Truro, iwho happened to be present on the occasion, and was known to be an advocate ofthe cause; which elicited front him an address containing much interesting infor- mation relative to his observations in hospital and infir- mary practice in Great Britain, as well as upon the state nfsnciety generally, in relation to Temperance, both in Britain and in France, from which countries he hadre- cently returned. _ The speech ofthe learned Doctor con- tained many valuable remarks upon the physiology of drunkenness, and tended to show how Inuch good might be elfected, did gentlemen of the faculty more generally give their co-operation in this “ labour of love.”

The thanks of the meeting were voted to both the Rev. Mr. Tupper and the Doctor, for their efficient exer— tions. Thirty-three new members (twenty-nine ofwhom took the tee-total pledge) then entered their names as members of the Society, and a liberal collection was roceiyed in aid of the Society’s funds.

H. M. surveying vessel Gulnare, . Captain Bayfield, arrived here on Saturday last. The Gulnare has been engaged for several years past, by directions ufthe Lords ofthe Admiralty, in making a surver of the Gulph ofSt. Lawrence. She sailed again on ' uesda last for Quebec, and will return hither, we understan , in June next, when a survey of this and the Iteighbourv ing coasts will be commenced, and which it is expected will take several years to complete, during which time the families ofthe officers will reside at Charlottetown, where the. vessel will be laid up during the winter months.

I The weather continues every thing that could be wrshed for bringing forward the harvest; indeed several farmers have already got all their grail) housed ; and We have much pleasure in stating that the crops have proved more than usually productive. We haVe not vet heard of much having been brought to market; some new flour, we understand, has been ofi'ered for sale, and went off slowly at 2éd. per lb.

. r . amen swans Imam ., , THE Cunard Atlantic Steamers having Com; L menced plying between Liverpool, England, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, a new era is formed in the History of the North American Colonies. » This expe- dittpus mode ofconve ance will, doubtless, brin to their shores a number 1: individuals in searc’hof hen th- fulpapd fertile locations; and the Advertiser,itherefore, souctts such persons. having agricultural views, to'visit Prince Edwardslslaud, so justly styled by writers,“.Tha Granary qf Britishworzlt America? Ikisfisiwsted .in .-the Gulph of St, Lawrence, and is only twindays’ travel by Coach and Steamboat from Halifax-LN; S. This Colony, with respectto salubrity' oficli'mitte, fertility of sot ,and excellent waters, is'seconrl to'liaw‘, ifsitn'y, in tne.BrI_tIsl1 Doinifiio'ns. The capitalist who determines ongemtgratmg," may here‘ purchase wilderness lands

according to situation, and the valueof the Buildings erected upon thepmperty. .The soil of this Island pro- duces nearlygtll kinds .ofgruin, hay and vegetables; and cattle, aswell asflgricriltttral implements, suitable to the Colony, can be obtained "at moderate prices.‘ There are twelve Agricultural Societies, estitblisheil within the'last few. years, activer employed in introducing from dif- ferentcnuntries the most improved breeds of Ljvé‘ Stock, Agricultural Implements, _&c. suitable'for the‘farmer. "To the Emigrant, cveh'though‘ but a'small capitalist, Prince-Edward Island offers many advantages :'—First,- its general prosperity, which is, sulficieotly preved by the Increase of its exports, and .its steadily improving revenue. Second,zi healthy climate. Third, a plentiful supplyofgood waterthroughoutthe whole Island. Fourth, the fertility of the soil. and its freedom from all taxes, burthensome to the Settler. Fifth, the convenience of settlement, whereby the ruinous expenses which are Sometimes incurred, by having to travel hundreds of miles, after landing, to a place of location, are almost totally avoided.‘ Sixth, a certain remuneration for the{ labours of the Agriculturist, by a sure market, and a fair price, for all the surplus produce of his farm. Seventh, the labourer readily meets with employment, and re- ceives liberal wages. Eighth, to the British Emigrant it offers the enjoyment of the benefits to be derived from the laws, language, customs and manners of his native land; and he preserves in himself an identity ofintcrcst with that of the parent state. Ninth, Prince Edward Island is now only thirléen duys’ travel, by Cunard’s line of Atlantic Steamers, from England; and, if a Colon affording regular opportunities ofspeedy intercourse with the mother country, and possessing the advantages before enumerated, be desirable, the Advertiser, who has spent twenty years in the Island, thinks he may safely venture to invite such individuals as have resolv- ed, or shall determine to emigrate, to pay it a visit; and should they be induced to establish themselves and families here, in preference to a foreign state, they will have the satisfaction to know that their posterity Viill be scions of the. British Empire. 7 [[33 Persons desirous of purchasing either Improved or Wilderness bands, are respectfully solicited to apply (ifby letter, post paid) to the Adverttser, at his Oflice, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
