JUNE 9, 1.346. A most important meeting of the friends and sup porters of Lord Joux Russurs. took place on Satur day, at his Lordship's house, at Chesham-place, which was Lumerously attended by Members of the House of Commons. Two questions were taken into con sideration on the occasion : first, the Irish Coercion Bill ; and, secondly, the Sugar Duties. On both these questions it was, by a very large majority—indeed, almost unanimously—determined that the Minis terial policy should be opposed. It was decided that, on the second reading of the Coercion Bill yesterday, it should be moved, as an amendment, that the Bill should be read a second time that day six months. It was left to the Irish Members to decide by whom the amendment should be moved and seconded, and it was subsequently decided that Lord JOHN should himself be requested to bring forward the amendment, and that in the event of his refusing to do so, Sir W. SONIERVILLE should be selected for the duty, with Colonel RAWDON as a seconder. The altered state of the times, the vast reduction in the amount of crime in Ireland, the restoration of peace and tranquillity in that country, and the fa vourable fruits which have sprung up from kindness and conciliation, and the introduction of just and equitable measures, have removed the necessity which formerly existed for the passing of an Act of such stringency, so restrictive of the liberty of the subject. Nothing but an urgent and impera tive necessity, the absolute impossibility of suppressing the fearful bloodshed and outrage that prevailed in that country, could possibly justify the adoption of such a measure. Sir ROBERT PEEL himself on this day fortnight admitted the vast improvement that had taken place, and such being the case, he surely is jus tified in postponing or abandoning a measure no longer required by the altered circumstances of the country. Were it at this moment in full operation it should be forthwith suppressed. Such was the opinion to which we gave expression on the above admis sion of the Premier. We cannot, therefore, blame the Liberal party for arriving at a similar conclusion. The second question on which it was determined to oppose the Government was on the Sugar Duties. It will be recollected that a motion on this subject was made by Lord SA?iDON while the Whig Ministry was in power, when his Lordship proposed a resolu tion deprecatory of the equalisation of the duties on slave-grown and free-labour sugar. The Whigs, acting on the free-trade principle, resisted this mo tion, and they have now determined to pursue a course favourable to the reception of slave-grown sugar. We do, however, most sincerely trust, that whatever may be the result of the divisions, that Sir R. PEEL will suffer nothing to interfere with or stay the pro gress of the great measure of free trade for which he has already made such wonderful sacrifices ; indeed he has already pledged himself to the country, that under any circumstances he will persevere until it shall have received the final sanction of the Legisla ture. It would, indeed, be a lamentable catastrophe, if the vessel which had nearly terminated its voyage in safety, having escaped the various shoals and quick sands, the storms and hurricanes, with which she was threatened, should be shipwrecked within sight of her harbour, when all danger had apparently been surmounted. We cannot believe that the just and well-founded hopes of the nation are destined to meet with so great a disappointment, or that the Premier should sacrifice to any obstinacy the glorious position he has achieved for himself. A fair opportunity is afforded to him, of which we trust he may avail himself, of stating his intention of not pressing on the Coercion Bill unless the re newal of disturbance and outrage should again demand the carrying out of its provisions. Such a line of conduct would be hailed with the warmest approbation of the country, and would fix Sir ROBERT most firmly in power; but, should he un fortunately still be determined to persevere, he should make up his mind that, although defeated, he would still continue in office, and retain the present Par liament until the final and complete triumph of the Corn and Customs Bills. Such a course would in volve neither dishonour or disgrace. It would, were any required, afford an additional proof of the truth and sincerity of the motives by which the Prime Minister is actuated, of the depth of his devotion to the glorious cause, for which he has already made such sacrifices. The protectionists are closely watching the progress of events —their last weak hope rests in a division taking place between the free-traders, and the Ministry abandoning their offices before the final success of the measure. A meeting of the monopolist party also took place on Saturday, at which a re• newed confidence was manifest. The cause of pro• tection was declared to be by no means desperate, and it was determined that an attempt should be made in Committee to perpetuate the operation of the di- minished sliding• scale; many predictions were boldly made as to the result of the ensuing elections which they blindly hoped would give a new strength to the advocates of monopoly ; in this they will find themselves bitterly disappointed ; the feelings of our country men are too deeply interested, their expectations have been too strongly excited to render it possible that they could now endure a defeat, or even a postpone ment of the measures from which they confidently look for such valuable results ; they will evince a quiet and steadydetermination, which must command success, and will teach the monopolists that they are reckoning without their host in looking for any addition of strength as the result of an appeal to the country. Intelligence to the 31st ult. has been received at the Bavarian Embassy in Paris, from Munich, that "after the closing of the Bavarian Diet, in which the debates had been very animated, and in which particularly the encroachments of the clergy and Je suits had been warmly denounced, the KING, yielding to public opinion, which had begun to manifest itself strikingly, and foreseeing the danger of resisting it any longer, suddenly changed his Ministry:His per. sonal friend, Count DE PEINSHEINI, an ardent pro tector of the Jesuits, and Minister of Finance, the Chevalier GIESE, Foreign Minister, and the Minister of Justice, M. SCEIRENCB, received unexpectedly their dismissal, and were replaced by young and po pular men. The Director of Police, M. FLORMANN, one of the most unpopular men in Bavaria, had also been obliged to resign." On the 25th of May a public dinner was given at Leipsic to the 32 Liberal Members of the second Chamber who voted for the opinion of the minority of the Committee, relative to the events of the month of August. About 10,000 persons asFernhled at the railway station to receive them, and GOO guests sat down to dinner. The German Journal of Frankfort announces that the Archduke FERDINAND of Este has been appointed Viceroy of the Austrian province of Galicia. The same journal states that the Austrian Government has set the greater number of prisoners taken during the late insurrection at liberty, and that in almost every case clemency will be shown. The Augsburg Gazette has the following from Cuiro, but it is dated as long ago as May 1 : "At the south of Assir, Scheik Hossein, who took posses sion of Moka after the departure of the Egyptian troops, is extending his aggressions more and more. He preaches the holy war to the Arabs against the English. For a year past he has been in possession cf Sanaa, and he has profited by the disunion in the family of the Iman to replace the feeble S - di Ali by his cousin Mohammed-Ibn-Yahia. He is master of the entire mountain on which the coffee is grown, and has the monopoly of commerce. He is th us a bl e t o main tain his army. "A portion of the mountain of Hodeida still resists him. Aden, however, has nothing to fear from the Arabs. Hossein can at most throw obstacles in the way of the commercial relations of the English, but he cannot injure their establishment." The Russian Government has published an official casus. Of coursepc;livtery most favourableadmits every th ing in the Can account of the late milita ry operat ions amounts to from 15,000 that this account he: is provided of a view for Russia; but even g represented in the Scu&scres army f n ro o m w with to e t : 00 men si , it :: that merly he did not • possess. n " l n t , which for-. tilt se accounts 2that whenever the l 'isPears attempted to advance intohave the Circassians, they have invariably been country comp e ll e d c' F retire, and the Russian generals declare thatthe to country cannot be subject until the whole of the existing population shall have been exterminated. Scumarr, has recently entered into relations with the tribes on the shores of the Caspian and of the Black Sea. The Roman dominions continue in a very agitated state. A letter from Florence of the date of the 25th of May, published in the Journal des Dibals, says — "A secret agitation prevails in the Roman states, and es pecially in the legations. It is kept alive by a number of pamphlets on political writings spread over the country to a great extent, in spite of the precautions taken by the autho rities to prevent their circulation. In the night of the 20th May, an attempt to murder, bearing quite a political feature, was perpetrated at Bologna. Lieut.-Colonel Allegrini, of the Horse Chasseurs, a member of the commission which sat during the trial of those accused in the affair of Rimini, was stabbed by masked assassins. His wounds are serious, but they appear not to be mortal. None of the assass i ns have been arrested as yet." A pistol shot had been fired at LAVA, a Commis sary of Police, at Ancona, and an attempt had been made in the same city to assassinate a member of the Military Commission of the Legations. Letters from Naples state that it is the intention of the Government to declare Naples and Palermo free ports. Madrid papers of the 31st ult., and of the Ist inst., have been received. They announce the arrival of the CABRALS at Cadiz, and contain a letter, signed by the brothers COSTA and SILVA CABRAL, and dated Cadiz, 27th May, explaining the grounds of their resignation, and stating that they had obtained leave from the Queen of PORTUGAL to travel for a year. It is reported that the Duke of PAINELLA has demanded the recal of GONZALES BRAVO, the Spanish Minister at Lisbon, on the grcund of his having interfered in the internal affairs of Portugal, by favouring the in trigues and the escape of the CABRALS. The Spanish Government has ordered two ships of war to proceed from Corunna to Lisbon for the protection of the lives and properties of Spanish subjects residing there. The Bolsa was closed on account of the feast of Pentecost. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The trial of LEcomzE, a full report of which wil be found in another column, concluded on Friday afternoon. At six o'clock the Court passed its decree, condemning him to die the death of a parricide. The condemnation to death was passed almost unanimously, notwithstanding an eloquent speech from VICTOR HUGO, urging the infliction of some minor punish ment. The KING himself, it is said, is anxious to spare his life, but the Ministers consider that it would be bad policy to do so, and the probability is that he was executed this morning. The Chamber of Deputies have adopted the Budget of the Department of Public Works, and commenced on Friday the discussion of the Budget of the Minister of War. The standing army for France consists of 280,000 men, for Algeria of 60,000, exclusive of the supplementary credits, which latter raise it to 100,000 men. The Journal des Dibats says : " The Emperor of Russia, desirous of testifying his satis faction at the attentions shown to his son. the Grand Duke Constantine, while visiting the ports of Toulon and Algiers, has conferred the grand cordon of the White Eagle on Vice- Admiral Baudin, and the grand cordon of St. Anne on Rear- Admirals Parseval and Rigodit. The Emperor has also placed at the King's discretion three crosses of the Com mander of the order of St. Anne to be conferred on the func +;,,--I—r VILIU ieceiveu toe urraou LUKe outle t:4 et., visit. His Majesty has authorised the above-mertioned admirals to wear the orders bestowed on them by the Em peror of Russia, and has designated Mljor-General Cannier, commanding the department of the ti ar, M. Frederic Du chatel, Sub-Prefect of Toulon, and M. de Ricaudy, Director of the Port of Toulon, for the crosses of St. Anne which had been placed at his Majesty's disposal." On the 29th ult. part of the squadron of evolution, under the command of his Royal Highness the Prince DE JOINVILLE, consisting of the steam-frigates Des cartes and Asmodee, and the steam-brig Cuvier, en tered the port of Villefranche. After receiving the usual salutes, his Royal Highness landed and walked to Nice, where he visited the cathedral and other parts of the town. The Prince re-embarked the same evening, and took his departure. The King and Queen of the BELGIANS were ex pected in Paris on Saturday, where it was expected they would remain a week. The object of the visit stated to be to endeavour to obtain the consent of King LOUIS PHILIPPE to the marriage of the Queen of SPAIN with a Prince of the House of Coburg. The Epoque has an article on the subject of the alleged offer made by England to mediate between the United States and Mexico, an offer which it ex presses a hope will be accepted, as it thinks such mediation likely to be attended with the most bene ficial results.

T kTTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY. _ . A few bets were laid on the Derby at the prices returned below, but the weight of the business—and at the best it was bad enough—was on the Emperor's Cup, for which Orlando became as good a favourite as Alarm—in fact, bad the call. The transactions, however, on the whole, were so insignifi cant that we may confine ourselves to a quotation of the last prices : THE EMPEROR'S VASE. 4 to 1 agst Col.

Sin,—The racing at MaEchester has borne out my predic tion pretty nearly to the letter. I named the winners of five stakes, the first and second in two instances—tolerable suc cess for one meeting. Now for the aristocratic gathering on Ascot-heath, which commences to-morrow. The bill of fare is better this year than it ever was before, a very good stake being added by the Great Western Railway directors. The high-mettled racers there, en route, or going, amount to the very large number of 140, or thereabouts. So we may reason ably expect to have four days good sport on the dusty Heath. On Tuesday the First Class Ascot Stakes will have either six or seven starters. The Marquis of Conyngham or In heritress for my cash. The Second Class Ascot Stakes, I opine, will go to Lord Salton or Jenny Wren, seven starting. The Queen's Vase, I fancy, will ,so to the Peri colt or Wood Pigeon—Grimston cannot get the distance, and Wolfdog will not start. The Ascot Derby Stakes seem madefor Joy or St. Demetri. The 100 soya. Stakes will furnish a field of third-rates, six in number, with Binnacle for winner, Eclat and Crown Prince second and third. The 50 soya. Stakes, for two yrs old, will have either Field Mouse or Don John colt for winner. The Welcome Stakes will bring the following to the post : —Tragical, Ward of Cheap, Sting, Humdrum, Burlesque, Queen Anne, lago, Blackie, Footstool, Cynynion, and pro bably one each of Exeter's and Greville'a. I have some doubts on this race; to my aye, Sting, Burlesque, and lago are pretty evenly matched. Should Queen Anne be up to the mark, there is another rival for the Welcome honours. I have a slight preference for the son of Slane, and will look to him to do the trick, the other three being too near to be pleasant—Burlesque or lago second,. The 100 sous. Stakes, for three yrs old, will entice two to the post, King Charles and Prus s ic Acid, the latter for winner. On Wednesday the Swinley Stakes to Lord Loasdale. The 25 sot's. Stakes to Mr. Hill, should Jericho not start. The 50 soya. Stakes to Lord Albemarle. The Coronation Stakes to Princess Alice or Birthday. The 50 sous. Stakes, Sting Ist, Joy 2d, and St. De metri 3d. The Fern Hill Stakes will have about seven starters, with BurlesTne or Laundry Maid for winner. The Royal Hunt Cnp will collect together a very good field, probably thirteen. At the finish the front rank will consist of Beaumont, Sir Francis, Sotades, Cocoa Nut; and Leaconfield—Sir Francis or Sotades for winner. On Thursday, the Dinner Stakes, to Draco or Harmony filly; the 50 soya. Stakes, to Lord 'Albemarle; the St. Jericho' James's Palace Stakes, to Free Lance.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, JUNE 8 1840. We have just received, by Express, from Kitale (Ire land), New York papers to the 19th—landd at that port for us by Captain Bailey, of the New Yck Packet Ship Yorkshire, to whom we tender our best hanks for his polite attention for this and ell similar fanurs. This arrival furnishes news three days later than tart brought by the steam ship Cambria. The Yorkshin made the passage to Kinsale in about sixteen days, mtwitbstand ing the light winds which are supposed t 6 hue prevailed. The nee s brought by the Yorkshire is ofan important character. Hostilities between the United States and Mexican armies had continued ; and by tie arrival of a ship at New Orleans on the 9th ult., intePgence was re ceived from the former up to the 29th rf April, from which it appears that a portion of the American soldiers bad suffered another defeat between Pint Isabel and Matamoros ; and that seventy volunteers, in attempting to reach General Taylor's camp, were :tented and en tirely destroyed. Fro:o the position of the two armies, it appears that General Taylor is entirdy surrounded by the Mexicans, and his supplies cut off. It would seem that there is not anyiesire on the part of the citizens of Louisiana, to enrolthemselves as vo lunteers in the glorious cause of the country. In fact it was necessary to have recourse 'l3 a conscription, in order to enable the executive authorities to raise the re quired number. Rumour also asrts that several who at first consented to volunteer, hale deserted just at the time they should have marched for the scene of action. We give below a proclamation, skned by the Mayor of New York, calling upon the citizens within his civic jurisdiction, to respond to the requirements of the Pre sident's proclamation. We observe that a large meet ing, on the same subject, has been hell in Philadelphia, at which resolutions were adop'ed pledging the meeting to assist the Government. A rumour prevailed at Washington on the 14th, that Mr. Pakenham had protested against the warlike opera tions of the United States against Mexico. We give it merely as a tumour. The New York Herald is the only paper which contains the rumour. We annex the following extracts from the papers which have reached our office : FURTHER LOSSES TO THE AMERICANS. (From the New York Tribune, of Va'Ar 18.) "' "- s--;eful necessity of recording another disastrions conflict between P.irit Isabel and l!atamoros, in which severity volunteers, att.,,ipuu g to reach brenerar Taylor': camp from the former post, were routed and cut to pieces by an overwhelming Mexican force. The worst of it is, that our men appear to have behaved badly, which will embolden the Mexicans in future encounters. Capt. Wall,e himself, so far as we can gather from his :recounts, did not distinguish himself otherwise than in running. wherein he approved himself a match for Stannard, or " the American D-er?' himself. He came in ahead of the remna tof his flying coreQ. and there can be little doubt that his time" was about the best on record. As yet we are not enabled to determine by what authority a Captain of volunteers undertook wi h his corormy to r• , . open General Taylor's communication with Can Isabel. when the veteran commander does not see fit to attimpt it with 2,500 regulars. If captains of volunteers meditate pr pceed ing to the Rio del Norte to make war on their ou n look, it will be expedient to put them in straight jacke's at once, and set their men to planting potatoes at home. They can be of far more use thus employed than in undertaking to manoeu vre and fight as partisa-s in n mintry of which thuy know nothing and their enemies everything—they fi;. - ; - litioz with out artillery, while half the hostile force is cavalry; and the Mexicans, if indifferent soldiers, are notoriously good horsemen. The worst news we have from the South is that of the departure of the steam-boat from Galveston for Brassos St. Tago with sixteen volunteers for the relief of General Taylor, and the absolute failure cf Louisiana to raise four regiments (two thousand five hundred men in all) for the same purpose without a resort to the conscription. This is most disgraceful to those who have so wantonly involved the nation in its present responsibilities and perils. If Texas does not rush to the rescue of General Taylor, we insist that she ought to be kicked out of the Union without ceremony. For her sake our Government has set up an unrighteous claim-to the boundary of the Rio Grande ; for her sake our little a-my is now surrounded on the banks of the great Mexican river. We have to foot the bill at all events, and it bids fair to be a heavy one. If, in addition to this, we are to be subjected to conscripion, a d dragged from our homes to fight for her nnrighteous preten sions in that region of yellow fever, who among us will longer look with favour on as connsmion from which Texas reaps all the advantage, and we n( thing but perils, calamities, and crime? (From our New Orleans Corrrspowlent.) The schooner Mary Clare arrived at New Orleans on the 9th inst., from Brazos St. l ago , w hi c h p l ace s h e left on the 29th. aptain Griffin and passengers report that Captain Walker and seventy rangers were nearly all killed and taken prisoners on the 28th ult., about twenty miles above Point Isabel, by a large force of Mexicans. Captain Walker succeeded in reaching the point at 4 P.M. with only three men. He applied to Major Thomas for more men, and announced his determination to proceed to General Taylor's camp, or die in the attempt—his object being to communicate full particulars of the attack to the commanding officer. He started from his camp on the 28th with his whole force to reconnoitre, and, if possible, open a communication with Gen. Taylor. He had proceeded as far as about midway between Point Isabel and the Camp, when an overwhelming Mexican force approached suddenly. A portion of his troops were raw recruits; he instructed them to keep on his right, and gave orders to the whole to retire under cover of the chapparel in view; but his raw troops, panic stricken, scattered in confusion. The Mexicans advancing with overwhelming numbers, he glke orders to retire. He was followed until within a mile of Point Isabel. where he arrived with only two of his men ; six others subsequently came in. Capt. W. estimates the num ber cf Mexicans he encountered at 1,500, and he supposed that at least 30 of them fell during the 15 minutes which he en gaged them. The force is supposed to be a portion of that which had, at last accounts, crossed the Rio Grande some 20 or 25 miles above Matamoros, and which is estimated at 3,000 men. It is believed that they had taken a circuitous route on the Eastern side of General Taylor's camp. The post is very strongly defended. By the exertions of Majors Monroe and Saunders, with 500 men to defend the post, it is believed it can be made good against 3,009. There are now about 5,000 Mexicans on the American side of the Rio Grande, one half above, and one half below General Taylor's camp. The greatest apprehension is now felt for the American posi tion, is that the Mexicans may raise fortifications which com mand Brassos Satiago. The natural formation of the ground is mostly favourable for such a purpo.e ; the men - would be effectually protected from any naval force by the natural embarkment, and the position could only - be carried by actual storming of the works. A slip from the Tropic says that a gentleman passenger in the Ellen and Clara informs uathat Gene ra l Taylor on the 29th, bad only six days' provisions. The Augusta was met going out with troops. The Cage and Fl orida were left it Point Isabel, loaded with goods. The night previous to the Ellen and Clara leaving, an attack was ex p ected on Point liabel. It was expected tllat General Taylor wou ld cut hi s way through, and come to the relief of Point Isabel. The latest adrices received at Vera Cruz from Matamoros were to the 15th ult. Immediately af ter t h e arrival of Ge neral Ampudia , his notice to General Taylor to retire behind the Nueces was known, and the Vera Cruz people expected to hear of hostilities. We have heard it reported that the British Consul saw a letter from General Taylor to General Ampudia,andthat he approved of the same. - FROM THE MO GRANDE DIRECT. The report brought to this city yesterday by the schooner Empire, which left the mouth of the Rio Grande on the 28th ult. was, that a body of two or three hundred Mexi cans (two or three companies) had crossed the Rio Grande, at a short distance above the city, and after an engagement with a portion of our force, had captured 150 men: The Empire also brought a report that twenty or thirty Ran cheros had crossed the river between the American camp and Point Isabel, and captured a waggon containing stores, This is a Mexican report. There are two ferries between Point Isabel and Matamoros, one at Buchita and the other about eight mi l es below -Mata moros. At intervals of some five miles there are places where boats might land unobserved. The captain of the Empire states that the report when he left was that the Mexican army consisted of about 8,000 men—of which 5,000 were regulars and 3,000 Rancheros and militia. There were nothing but Rancheros Wow Matamoros. WAR MEETINGS. PHILADELPHIA.—One of the largest meetings ever assem bled in this city, was held on the 14th, to respond to the proclamation of the Mayor, upon the present condition of affairs here, and OA the protection of the country. Mayor Swift presided, assisted by the Recorder, Presidents of the Councils, the Mayor of the Northern Liberties, the Presidents of the Board of Commission., and the Chief Bur- , gess of West Philadelphia, as Vice Presidents. _ . The spirit of the meeting may be seen by the principal re , solution, which was as follows : "Resolved,—That while this meeting deeply regrets that negotiations of a friendly character have failed to effect a pacific settlement with our sister republic, we deem it a duty to make known to the nation at large, and particularly to the Government, that our full and entire sympathies are with our country, and that, sho u ld the exigencies o f the na- ion require it, our services, our fortunes, and our lives, are hereby pledged for the preservation of the integrity of the national domain, the security of the lives, and the conserva tion of the rights of oar fellow-citizens, and the honour of our beloved country." The meeting was ably, effectively, and eloquently ad dressed by many distinguished citizens, among others by Josiah Randall, Mr. Page, General Peter S. Smyth, Judge Conrad, Mayor Smith, P. A. Browne,B. H. Brewster. A fair sprinkling of Whigs, democrats, and natives. In the Senate, on the 15th, in reference to this meeting, Mr. Cameron presented the proceedings of the war meeting in Philadelphia, and said he was proud of that city, for the opportunity she had given him of laying before the senate this evidence of the patriotism of her sons. What she had done for the country she would do again. She had coal enough in her mountains to warm her friends, and iron enough in her mines to repel her enemies. NEW YORK.—In this mart of commerce the same active movements are in progress—the citizens are beginning to arouse to a sense of the importance of the present war crisis, and of the necessity of strenuously co-operating with the Executive in prosecuting the war with rigour. THE MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION. Mayor's Office, New York, May 15, 1846. Whereas a preamble and resolution has this day passed both branches of the City Government, requesting the Mayor, in conformity with the views impressed in the message of his Excellency the President of the United States, in which it is stated " that a state of war exists between the Govern ment of Mexico and the United States." to issue his procla mation calling on all persons acting under the city authority, and exhorting all ether of our fellow-citizens to observe faithfully the requirements of the President's proclamation, and our fellow-citizens belonging to our military corps par ticularly, to hold themselves in readiness for any service which may legally be required of them. Now, therefore, I, Andrew 13. Mickle, Mayor of the city of New York, do hereby, in pursuance of the foregoing, commend to the inhabitants of this great and patriotic city, to aid in carrying out the views expressed in the message of the President of the United States, as well as the unanimous expression given by th e Common Council thereon. Be lieving, as I do, that in any emergency, one and all of our citizens are ever ready to respond to the legitimate calls of the Government, I therefore tecl the greatest confidence that the same line of conduct will characterise our fallow citizens on this occasion as has ever heretofore been manifested. In testimony whereof, I hive hereunto subscribed my name, and have caused the seal of the mayoralty to be hereunto affixed, this fif eenth day o f May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hund-ed and forty-six. ANDREW H. MICKLE, Mayor of the City of New York. The Committee of Arrangnnent a f - .T a meeting of citizens in the Park, with the view of expres-ing a public opinion on the relations of our country with Mexico, are requested to meet in the Mayor's office this evening at six o'clock. A. H. MICKLE, Mayor. We find the following in the New York Herald of the 18th:— PROTEST OF THE BRITISH MINISTER. THE PRESENT IMBECILE CABINET MUST GO OCT. PROBABLE WAR WITH ENGLAND. WASIIINGTON, MAY 14, 1816.—The Britkh Minister, Mr. Pakenham, formally protes:ed this morning against the course adopted by this Government against Mexico. The reasons assigned are those which are usually advanced by that Power upon similar occasions—th a t o f t h e i n j ury and Vinterruption to commerce which such a state of things naturally produces. The British merchants at Matanzas, you are alrea , ly aware, have protested against the o 'cupation of the territory oppo site to that city by our troops, and the blockade of the river upon which it is situated, by our vessels; and, in further ance of this declaration her Majesty's Minister has solemnly entered his protest. If this country do not at once succumb to this threat—a thing which it will not do—he will ask for his passports, probably, and depart immediately for some of the British provinces, near this country, until he hears fur ther from his Government.—[Doubtful, very.—Ed. Her.] Such is the crisis to whi c h Mr. Polk and his miserable ad.. risers have brought us at last. The country has never bad any confidence in his Cabinet, and how can it sustain it now, when the emergency calls for the co-operation of the mighty minds of the nation ? They must be forced from his councils, and able men placed in their stead. THE COERCION BILL. (From The Sun of Last Yght.) (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Coupled with the fact of the re-appearance of the Coercion Bill for a second reading this evening, the meeting of Liberal representatives in Chesham-place, on Saturday, portends either some extraordinary ca tastrophe or some extraordinary concession in our Legislature. As under all circumstances of similar importance a variety of opinions and a multiplicity of rumours have been disseminated among the multi tade as to the probable issue of these occurrences Every one is dubious respecting the ulterior conse quences of their influence, though all coincide in an ticipating some remarkable denouement after so many remarkable preliminaries. Whether the present alsoiss.- win L., oo r.....h.r..irapa in the division upon the Curfew Bill as to necessitate their withdrawal from office; or whether the lesser half of the present session cannot be sustained by a Government power ful enough in its moral influence to carry a measure of such peouliar vastness during the com mencement of this same session, are the questions now agitating the popular mind, and constitute for the moment a more seductive object of speculation than the rail wayphobia itself. Nor can the position of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Administration at this critical juncture fail to ensure the sympathy of the least sus ceptible, or to arouse the interest of the least reflective amongst our countrymen. The origin of this sudden indecision as to the stability of his Government is simple enough, but it is also striking and instructive enough in all conscience. Vague suspicions and shadowless inuendues have repeatedly been promul gated by those misguided or obtuse-minded observers who were desirous of the Premier's discomfiture ; but not until within a very few days had these rumours assumed anything like a palpable or sub stantial form. What was hitherto a scarcely per ceptible vapour has gradually accumulated into a storm-cloud ; and from the resolutions which were almost unanimously adopted on Saturday at Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S residence, its dormant violence is expected to burst forth at every instant, and the public attention is rivetted upon the Par liament House, anticipative of those political deto nations which are expected to hurl Sir ROBERT and his colleagues from authority. Some are looking with sanguine satisfaction at the day- dawning of power to Lord JOHN, some with despondency at the probable retirement of the present Prime Minister. Within possibly the present week, unquestionably within the ensuing fortnight, the result of this agita tion will become apparent, either in the perpetua tion of the present Ministry, or in its final overthrow. " A peerage or Westminster Abbey !" was the battle cry of NELSON, and one equally resolute appears to be the ruling motto of the PEEL Administration. Supposing, however, that the most disastrous defeat is destined to be the portion of Sir ROBERT, either upon the Coercion Bill or the Sugar Duties, or upon both together, he will never theless fall amidst the jubilation of one of the greatest conquests ever achieved by statesman, with the grateful voices of his countrymen still ringing in his ears, and after having imperishably linked the re collection of his genius with the acquisition of free trade and the commencement of universal peace. In waiting, therefore, for the preservation of official power to himself, or for its transmission to the hands of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, we must acknow ledge that we do so with less trepidation as to the consequences of this occurrence than possibly was ever experienced by journalist when awaiting the mutations of authority. In either case the interests of the People, the dignity of the Crown, and the pros perity of the empire will be committed to legislators most eminently qualified for the discharge of such fesponsibilities, and in whose political wisdom the most implicit and earnest reliance could be placed. Satisfied as we are, however, that extreme benefit must accrue to the nation, whether Sir R. PEEL be continued in office, or Lord J. RUSSELL nominated Prime Minister, we cannot but turn with a scarcely expressible anxiet; to those discussions and those divisions which are about to decide the Parliamentary tourney between those two eminent characters. As to the abolition of importation duty upon slave-grown sugar, or, in other words, of its equalisation as a commodity in foreign and colonial commerce with the sugar cultivated by free labour, the question is so inextri cably bound up with that of commercial emancipation generally, as scarcely to afford that room for a com bination of interest sufficient to subvert the Govern ! ment. With the Coercive measure, however, the case is altogether different, as the amalgamation of heterogeneous parties into one homogeneous opposition, threatens, without any question, to place the Ministerial authority in jeopardy. Nor can we detect anything absolutely reprehensible in the difference of opinion formed upon this matter by Sir ROBERT PEEL and his colleagues, or Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his adherents. The former, in accepting the office of Premiership, ipso facto, pledged himself, among other things, to secure the personal safety of every individual in the realm as far as the Executive department would permit, and, as a matter of course, it became incumbent upon him so to regulate the operations of that executive department, as his judg ment prompted him, and as circumstances appeared, according to that judgment, to require. From a sense of the awful responsibility thus appertaining to his rank as Prime Minister, Sir ROBERT was driven into the formal proposition of the Curfew Bill, by the wantonness and fre quency of agrarian murders in Ireland. Knowing these things to be actualities, it is evident to plain sense that the Irish are indebted for this Bill, not to the Premier or the Cabinet, but to those ruffianly marauders who have soddened their land with the blood of murder. Lord Joust RUSSELL, in like manner, is incited to the opposition to this same measure from a belief of its inefficacy as a preventive of crime, and as an onerous restriction upon innocent millions. Both statesmen are actuated, we cordially admit, by sen timents of conscientious rectitude, though one, by necessity, can alone be right in his conclusions. The end of this honest difference will be fraught with momentous results as regards the two leaders them selves, but of results infinitely less momentous to the multitude, seeing that in no case can they be the lasers. Our own views upon the matter are uniform, though apparently contrad . ctory ; we should deeply lament the secession from office of Sir RonkiaT PEEL, though we should ardently rejoice at the advent of Lord JouN RUSSELL to power, and this because we recognise in them a grand feature of similarity ; they are akin to each other, i oasn.uch as they are animated with the same atnbitic n to promote the prosperity of the people.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert rode out on horse back yesterday, attended by the Equerry in Waiting, Colonel Bouverie. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and,the Princess Alice, took their usual walk. and rides jesteroay in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Atigu , ta Brun- and Sir G. Couper, honoured Drury-lane Theatre with her presence yesterday evening. Their Royal Hignesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Princess Mary, and at tended by Baroness Ahlettldt, Mr. Edmond Mildmay, and Colonel Keate, went to Greenwich yesterday morn ing, and returned to Cambridge House in the afternoon. Mr. Hogg, M.P., had an interview with Sir Robert Peel yesterday. Mr. Hunter had an interview with the Earl of Dal. housie yesterday at the office of the Board of Trade. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of the West India Colonies. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, (From The Sun of last Nigh%) There was a moderate demand for Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday, and the sales were about 4,000 bags. Prices were steadily supported. The proceedings at the meeting held at Lerd John Russell's mansion on Saturday last have been rend here, by the mer cantile and monetary classes, with the deepest interest and anxious attention, as it is feared in many quarters that with a defeat•either upon the Coercion (Ireland) Bill, or the Sugar Duties, a dissolution of the Cabinet is all but inevitable. The course of legislation would, under this contingency, or in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, be most materially im peaed, and at a period when almost all parties are prepared to enter freely into operations in produce, both colonial and foreign, under the lull anticipation that the corn and other tariff measures will soon be passed. The private communications received from the West In dies this morning, brought by the Tweed steam-ship, are rather more unfavourable if possible than the previous intel ligence conveyed by the public journals of nearly all the islands. For the protectionists, the news of the losses of cattle, &c., and the destruction of the crops by a most severe drought, has come at a good time, as not a doubt is enter tained but that it will be made a handle of to show the im policy of the Legislature adopting a line of policy which must in their opinion tend further to the distress of the colonists. But there will be a word to say on the other side in favour of the changes to be pressed forward by Lord J. Russell and his supporters, viz.—that though so general a fai-. lure of the crops in the West Indies is a reason for admitting foreign free grown produce at reduced duties, yet this would prevent the people of Great Britain being compelled to pay such high prices for sugar as now, especially when the crops in our colonies turn out so deficient. The remittances on ac count of the Dlexican dividends are considered good, and show that, so far at least, notwithstanding the war with the United States, the Government of the Republic has held sacred the reve.tues hypothecated to the payment of the dividend. The • Public Securities have been drooping again today, and the cause no doubt is the somewhat precarious situation of the Ministry, and the uneasy feeling which political ex citement must ever create. For Account Consols have been marked at a decline to 95% and 95 1 . The premium on Exchequer-bills has been steady at 17s. to 215., and on India Bonds at 285., for those under 1.0001. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 97 1 4 to 1 / 2 , anti the Three per Cents. 95 1 4%. The Foreign Bonds have been very dull.

Mitch Two-aed-a• Half per Cents. have been quoted 60%, and Russian'Bonds 110 to 1104.

STOCK EXCUANGE.— Our comment on the state of the Share trade this week is necessarily brief, as the extent of business passing has been so exceedinzly limited as not to afford fair groun,4 on which to torni On opinion. This cessation of business is chiefly caused by the intervention or' the Whitsuntide holidays, although speculators are vet feeling their way, and evince no great in c li na ti on to operate - until the effect of the state of affairs in America is more clearly de fined.

To-day being set apart for the celebration of the natal day of her Majesty, there will be, according to custom, a parade inspection of troops on the parade-ground, Horse Guards; and should the weather continue propitious, the spectacle on this occasion will certainly exceed those of many years back in point of military grandeur, it being confidently expected that his Excellency Ibrahim Pacha will honour the ground with his presence; but this will, of course, depend solely on the illwArious foreign , r's present arrangements. Orders have been issued for an assemblage of the troops at half. past nine o'clock. They will comprise the flank com panies of the battalions of the household troops in London, including two, or perhaps more, troops of the Life and Horse Guards ' and the companies f or public ditty, making in all nearly 1,400, which, however, will also comprise those keep ing the ground. On the Commander-in-Chief arriving, he will receive the Fitld-Marshal's salute; and his Royal High ness Prince Albert, in addition, that usually given to mem bers of the Royal Family. The cavalcade will likewise con sist of the Adjutant-General, Quartermaster-General, the aides-de-camp to the Commander-in-Chief, the commanding officers of each batt a li on , an d a h ost o f general officers. line will of course be formed all round. IBRAHIM PACHA AND SUITE AT PORTSMOUTH. Poatemotrm, SUNDAY.—lbrahim, with all his suite, re mained at the George Hotel on Friday, resting from the fatigues of his voyage across the Channel, and receiving officials who called to pay their respects. Both Ibrahim and Soliman Pacha frequently appeared at the bay window smoking their chibouk, ar din consequence numbers of people assembled in front of the hotel to take a look at these illus trious strangers. The party dined quietly at the hotel, but were joined by Major Dickson, equerry, and Mr. Briggs, an old acquaintance of the Pacha, he having formerly held the situation of British Consul at Alexandria (this is the person who gave the valuable information to Lord Nelson that led to the victory at the Nile). The band of the 13th Regiment performed in the entrance hall of the George after dinner. On Saturday, soon after breakfast, Ibrahim and suite, attended by Major Dickson and Mr. Briggs, proceeded in four carriages to the dockyard, where they were met by the Com mander-in-Chief, whose barge, with the Admiralty state barge, were in waiting. In these barges the party embarked, and accompanied by Sir Charles Ogle, Captain Chads, Capt. Pasco and Mr. Gage Morris, the flag-lieutenant, pro ceeded to the Royal Clarence victualling establishment; they were received by Captain Superintendent Carter • Mr. Town, the master attendant; and Mr. Gr an t, th e store-keeper,i who conducted the party round the yard. His Highness saw the buiccuit-baking by steam in full operation, with which he was much pleased, and he expressed himself gratified at the mills for grinding corn, and the admirable arrangement of the provision stores. Admiral sir Charles Ogle left them at the victualling-yard, under the guidance of Capt. Pasco, of the Victory. At half-past ten the party left the Clarence Yard in two barges (which we should have stated before) displaying the Egyptian fi ig—red, with three silver cres cents and three silver balls, and proceeded to the royal yacht Victoria and Albert. Captain Crispin and Veutenaut Robson had the honour of receiving the illustrious party and, conducted them round the vessel, which they very much admired for the accommodations and chaste dicorations she exhibited. From the royal yacht the party proceeded to the Excellent, gunnery-ship, where they were received by Captain Chaste with manned yards, guard, of honour, the ship's gunwales lined with seamen, and with colours at the mastheads, They remained on board tee ship upwards of an hoar, witnessing some shot and shell practice, quick firing, musket and cutlass exercise, &c. I . witnessing some shot practice made with the rolling irotinn attached, one of the Egyptians of the suite volunteered to direct and fire the gun, proving himself no novice at the work, for at the ve y first shot he struck and knocked away the canvas target. As there is consider able difficulty in pointing a gun with the rolling motion, Ibrahim Pacha and his party were highly delighted at their countryman's success. The quick thine- exercise filled the decks of the Excellent with a dense smoke, there being no breeze to disperse it; hut this did not seem to disturborannoy the vi-etors. who appeared to relish the smell of gunpowder. After Captain Chads had presented his officers to the Pacha, the party left. the Ex e c: erne an d proceeded to t h e Victory, where Captain Paste received them under a royal salute, ship dressed arid 3 Ws rearmed ; he conducted theta round the ship, pointing out and explaining where Nelson fell, and where be died. Captain Pasco, having served as flag-lieutenant to that hero, was the very person to show the Victory, and his Highness the Pasha listened with much in• tereet to the accoent detailed by one w: o telt so much per sons! interest in the narration. On his Highness and party leaving the Victory, another salute was fired. The party now landed at the dockyard, and were again joined by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, his secretary, Mr. Haag; hits flag-lieutenant, Mr. Moans ; also by Mr. Pincham, the master builder; Messrs. Pardo and Brawn, masters at tendant ; Lieutenant Hall, director of the police, and several other officers. Taking a cursory look at the Nelson, 120, now under the process of being coppered, and a passing look at the chips fitting in the basin, the party, conducted by Sir Charles Ogle, went to see the new building -slips, which his Highness very much admired, particularly the corragated iron sheds built over them. He went on board the new steam frigate, the Arrogant, of 1,800 tons, and appeared to admire her proportions, Mr. Fincham, her builder, explaining and answering various questions put to him by the Pacha re' specting her. The party was now conducted to . the iron and copper fo un d r i es , w h ere t h e process of casting was exhibited, also rolling out the sheet copper, and the manufacture of nails. The blacksmith's shop was a scene of much interest. He re th e two steam -h ammer s, in vented by Mr. Naysmith, were seen at work, one of 50 cwt.., and one of 30 cwt. Th e p rocess o f driving a small nail with the larger hammer was shown, and the expeditious way which large masses of red-hot iron could be welded together by this powerful machine was also exhibited The contrast between this hammer and heavy work done by hand was proved by a large mass cf iron being put under the sledge hammers of 14 powerful smiths, who hardly made an im pression on it. The party now viewed the works at the new steam basin, where the excavations are nearly completed, and the basin wall in a state of forwardness, under the talented contractor, Mr. Peter Rolt. The steam saw-mills were next visited, and the new atmospheric saw-mills, which were in full work. But the block-making machinery ap peared to attract more attention from the strangers than anything else. Mr. Taplin, the talented mechanist of the yard, proceeded to show the whole process, from the rough elm log to the finished block. The making of the shivers, the pin, and brass bushing, &c., all'attracted the fixed atten tion of Ibrahim Pacha and his son. The party finished their inspection of the yard by viewing the hydraulic testing-machine. A strain of 76 tons was put on an anchor and cable by Mr. Wilcox, the engineer. It had been intended to show them the rigging -lofts, &c., but as his Highness had made an appointment to see the troops on Southsea Ciarmen at four o'clock, and it now being past three, it was now given up, and the Pacha and suite re paired to the George Hotel for some refreshment. THE REVIEW OF' THE TROOPS OF THE LINE O N SOUTHSEA COMMON. The following regiments as s embl e d on S ou th sea C o m mon at half-past three. The 3d (Buffs), under the command of Colonel James Dennis; the 13th Light Infantry, under Colonel J. C. Squire; and the 74th Highlanders, under Colonel Crabbe, formed an extended line from the bridge en the Common to the Fire Barnes, th e w h o l e a b ou t 1,700 of 1,800 men. The Lieutenant-Govern r, Major-General Sir Hercules Pakenham (taking the chief command) was early on the common, attended by his Aide-de- Camp, Captain Pakenham, GG. ; Colonel Daley, Major of Brigade; Town Ms:jor White. and a number of field officers on horseback. The field was admirably kept by the Royal Marines, whose force in barrack being principally composed of recruits, did not turn out., nor were the Royal Marine Ar tillery on the field; their omission must have been from some mistake in the general order. There was a vast it , seniblage of persons on the tround; every vehicle, from the superb carriage to the humble donkey chaise, was put in requisition, and it appeared that all the inhabitants of the towns and neighbourhood had turned out to witness the spectacle. Precisely at four the carriages containing the strangers were seen approaching; they drove opposite the centre of the line of trisooe, and on alighting were received by General Paken harp, with a general present of arms and salute. The Pacha and party walked up to the right wing and passel down along the line, and then took up a position in front, when the regiments marched past before them in slow and quick time. Sir Hercules proceeded to put the troops through some evolutions, advancing in line, forming the several regiments into separate squares, throwing out their light companies, firing along the whole line " independeut firing;' with occasional volleys. At half past five Sir Hercules and his staff, and the field officers, dis inourted, and Sir Hercules presented them to his Highness the Pacha. The Scorch band of the 74th were now called out, and they played several Scotch national pieces of music. The six pipers of the 74th, dressed in kilts and huge bear skin caps, also marched backwards and forwards before the Royal Ezp.tians, playing the " Highland Laddie " and other Scotch airs. They attracted much attention. His Highness now thanked the General and the officers for the great pleasure that had been afforded him in seeing the Bri tish troops of the line, and having made some highly com plimentary- remarks on their steadiness and general appear ance, he quitted the field. At seven the Pachas with their suite repaired to the Admiralty House to dine with Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, who had invited a number of officials and ladies and gan'e tlemen of the vicinity to meet them, and they returned to the George to sleep at h a lf-p as t ten o ' c lock, having bad a most fatiguing day's work. They were all habited to-day in the Egyptian costume, the two Pachas in plain black loose vests end trousers, red conical caps, with black or blue tassels, and with plain sabres: their only orna ments were the silver ar.d diamond decorations on the bre asts; the others wore similar dresses, but some had some green-coloured vests and loose trousers. hie!, bad been This morning (Sunday) the Lightning, which his stay at placed at the disposal of Ibrahim I light blu e an d Highness and suite, in cluding Portsmouth, came down to the o'clock, and at half-past ten his s embarked on oard and Mr. Briggs' ;_arb:.)aur's mouth at eight Major Dickson steamed out to Spithead to the Canopus, 84, lying went e a d nd ressed in dolours.

THE PACHA'S VISIT TO LONDON. Last evening an express was received at 3livart's Hotel from Major C.
