It is this England which our establishment at Tahiti wounded to the heart, and whose exas- peration was carried to the highest point by the ex- pulsion of Me. Pritchard. Our neighbours besides possess an apposition, as little inclined to hear reason as Bur own, and, like ours sacrificing every thing to the blind desire of overturning a ministry. bad By dint of urging on both sides to war, they at least succeeded in gravely compromising peace With two Cabinets, not having the strength to place themselves above these miserable passions, Blood would flow, nud God knows what casastro- phes would afflict the world! An understanding has been come to without the honour of either party being compromised. Here, it was at one time, announced that Mr. Pritchard was to be sent back to Tahiti, and that the vessel in which he was to sail was quite ready; at another, that M. Guizot consented to recall Me Bruat and Cap. d'Aubigny, Mr. Pritchard is not to return to Tahiti, and M. Brunt is not to be recalled, any. more than Capt d'Aubigny.

and cowardice. These clamouts must be government blamed what it was just and proper to blame-the violence exhibited in the imprisonment and solitary confinement of Mr Pritchard. To have a right is one thing, and the manner of using it another. Suddenly removed, Mr. Pritchard may have suffered in his material; and, in consequence an indemity will be accorded him, if there are grounds for doing so. Such are the conditions of the arrangement-an illusory satisfaction for the English opposition, and an enormous concession for that of France; but in reality, an equitable transaction, redounding equally to the honour of those who have offered, and those who have ac- cepted it. Thus, the two Cabinets are entitled to the gratitude of all persons of worth; they have not allowed themselves to be stunned by the cries which were uttered below them, they examined the affair on its own merits with a sincere desiro the falsc to reciprocally accord whatever was just ; point of honour has obtained nothing, and true dignity is satisfied. Let us not however, forget too speedily the danger which peace has incorred- it was a serious one.
