A question, asked by Mr. BERNAL on Tuesday night on the bringing up of the report of certain resolutions agr eed to in a Committee of Supply, respecting the important subject " the means of manning our fleet," elicited from Captain 13ERKELEY the pleasing intelli gence that " he ha d long given his serious atten- tion to the subject of providing a reserve fore© of seamen in cases of emergency that he hoped before the ne xt session, though there might be some difficulties in the way, to submit a plan to the Government which would place at their dispooal a body of thorough seamen who, within 48 hours, -would be available at either Portsmouth or Plymouth in sufficient numbers to man a fleet." Should Captain BERKELEY succeed to this extent, and attain the object by just and equitable means, the country will indeed have cause to rejoice at his ap pointment as one of the Naval Lords of the Admiralty. We have so often exposed the enormities of the vile system of impressment, the gross injustice thereby inflicted on a large body of our fellow-sub jects, that it is unnecessary, at the present moment, t o recur to it. The public are now fully alive thereto, and they demand, at the hands of those to whom the control and superinten dence of the navy is entrusted, that justice shall at length be extended to our gallant sailors, that they shah no longer be torn from their hours and friends—forced into an unwilling servitude, at a rate of remuneration far below that which they can obtain elsewhere, and subjected to punishments of the utmost stringency and severity, of the most re volting and degrading character, at the mere whim and caprice of an individual ; that they should be deprived of the protection which is afforded to all other classes of Englishmen, and so punished, not only without proof of guilt, but even without being heard in their own defence, or permitted even to explain their conduct. It is an extraordinary, but undoubted, fact, that while the number of our mer chant seamen falls little, if at all, short of 400,000 men, many of whom must frequently be in want of employment, that if even 4,000 men, the one-hundredth part of the number, should be required for the service of their country, on any sudden emer gency, they cannot be obtained in less than six or twelve months, so as to have the vessels, for which crews are required in efficient working order, fit to support the honour of the British flag, if it should be entrusted to their care. Why should this be so? In every other department of the public service the candidates for employment far exceed the number of vacancies, and much anxiety is evinced to obtain such employment ; in the navy alone there is such a deep-rooted dislike thereto, that volunteers cannot be obtained in a case or cases of emergency ; and, notwithstanding the proverbial su periority of volunteers to pressed men, it is from the latter class that the royal navy is expected to be supplied under any extraordi nary or pressing circumstances. The causes however, are numerous, and until they are thoroughly and entirely removed, it is useless to hope for any great or important change in the feelings of seafaring men. The very power of impressment itself being suffered to exist, has been one of the principal causes for this want of popularity, and for its own alleged necessity. Were it not for this unconstitutional and un-English practice, persons in authority would be obliged to take measures for the removal of the grievances that so unduly and unfairly affect our naval brethren. They have relied on the system by which they can compel the services of competent men in the time of need, and have not sought to obtain by persuasion that which they can command by brute force. Many are to be found who will raise the cry of necessity, and say that the safety of the empire demands its continuance, but no plea can justify that which is essentially con trary to the first principles of moral right. First, amongst the necessary steps for redressing the evil, the pay of our seamen must be increased; it must be made at least equivalent to that which the individual could obtain if permitted to carry his labour to the best market. It is well known that the pay of an able seaman in the merchant service amounts, on an average, to 21. ss. per month, while in the royal navy 11. 14s. is only given to the same man. This is manifestly unjust. Why should the nation expect to obtain labour at less than three-fourths of the ordinary rate? Our naval estimates amount to no less a sum than 7,400,0001. sterling per annum. The article wages does not exceed one-eighth of that large amount, and a judicious curtailment and diminu tion of a part of the unnecessary expenditure would provide a fund amply sufficient to enable us to do justice to the hard-working and inadequately-paid sailor. But, were it otherwise, we do not believe that the most zealous advocate for economy in the House of Commons, or in the nation at large, would object to a proper remuneration being paid for the services rendered by the sailor. The expense would be trivial in comparison to the benefit conferred, the injustice avoided by the nation, Again, the sailor should not be cast adrift the mo ment his services can be dispensed with. A ship re turns from a distant station, and the crew perfected in discipline, efficiently trained, and fitted for any duty, are dispersed throughout the country ; their connexion with the service is severed'; they are suffered to fall victims to the arts of designing persons who congregate together to prey upon the simplicity of the weather-beaten tar, to rob him of his hardly-earned pay. The men thus turned adrift may beg or starve they may at the time be unable to obtain employment of the description for which alone they are fitted, or if they can procure it they are removed from this country, and their services, valuable in the higheat degree, cannot be obtained when required. This ridiculous, this absurd system must be put an end to. The lash must be abolished in the navy ; other means for procuring submission must be resorted to, and that stigma and disgrace must be removed from the British sailor. By these and other similar means the popularity of the service can be restored, and when that is once effected there will be no want of men toady and willing to come forward at a mo ment's notice. We shall look with much anxiety for the promised plan of the Gallant Officer, but to be effectual it must strike at the root of the evil. A variety of circumstances tend at this moment to attract the particular attention both of the population and of the Government to Ireland. The calamitous disease which has again infected the potatoes, and which consequently threatens to bring increased star vation and destitution on the peasantry, elicits the sympathies of our Legislators, and promises to delay the period of the prorogation of Par liament. Although they may to a disagree able extent interfere with divers engagements upon the moors, the precocious indications which have been given of the re-appearance of this vegetable malady must so far be regarded with satisfaction, as they afford our rulers an opportunity of preparing political antidotes for an evil which can only become more perilous as the winter season approaches, and the scanty harvest is consumed. It will be remem bered how much excitement and trepidation, how many dilemmas and hesitations, how little alacrity and decision were evolved immediately intel ligence reached the late Administration of the pesti lence and famine by which the poorer classes of Irishmen were threatened towards the conclusion of 1845. Parliament had been dissolved—the Cabinet ' Ministers were hurriedly assembled together—doubts and anxieties disorganised the council—resignations followed, and the whole Legislature of the empire was thrown into the most grievous temporary confusion before any adequate steps could be taken to ameliorate the condition of our afflicted countrymen. It will be remembered how alarmingly the woes of the peasantry had accumulated before the differences of opinion among statesmen could be settled. Fevers and cholics had spread throughout many baronies ; vast multitudes had assembled under the black banners of famine; despair had taken possession of the unemployed, and the darker passions had begun to develope them selves in midnight murders and twilight assassina tions, before relief could be tendered by the Executive, either in the shape of manual occupations or cheap provisions. During many weeks the ravages of disease and inanition were altogether unchecked, and the assistance -which Sir ROBERT PEEL and his new colleagues were at length enabled to remit was, contrary to their wishes, both tardy and crippled. Now, however, the prospects of the Irish labourers are infinitely more propitious, not withstanding their accustomed nourishment is prema turely and more extensively destroyed. The present Ministry is composed of statesmen bound together by a common determination to assuage the sufferings of Ireland , and to consult the interests of her inhabitants by every constitutional effort within their power. However much, there fore, our interest is aroused as to the circumstances of the approaching season, it is neither darkened by doubt nor sombred by anxiety. Satisfied that the nourishment and employment of the Irish labouring classes will be properly attended to by the Russell Administration, and especially satisfied with thst lenient policy which removed from a generous and afflicted people the ignominy of an Arms Bill, we can turn with peculiar curiosity to that great association in which the opinions of the population are there embodied. During the latest meeting of tile repealers at Conciliation Hall, namely on Monday morning, it would appear that a letter, addressed by Mr. WILLIAM SMITH, O'BRIEN to the secretary, was duly perused to the assemblage. And from the purport of that epistle, and from the subsequent observations of Mr. O'Coi- NELL, we glean the astounding and prodigious fact, that he, Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN, had not the slightest inclination to return to the Repeal Asso ciation. There is something wonderfully amus ing in the feelings of self-importance which ham) evidently dictated that very remarkabic, document. Speaking of a trumpery squabble ori ginating in himself and a few hair-brained mongers of patriotism, Mr. O'BRIEN facetiously terms it " a scene not less distressing to those who witnessed it than injurious to the cause of Ireland and disparaging to the character qf Irishmen." Mr. O'BRIEN need not entertain such melan choly sentiments one moment longer if he ss ill only recognise what is so manifest to every body else, namely, that the fact of his walking out of the Corn-Exchange in a bit of a huff cannot possibly damage the interests of his country ; that his beha viour previous to that movement was rather amusing than distressing, and that the eccentric conduct of a little posse of individuals cannot in the slightest de gree tend to the disparagement of the character of an entire nation. The corollary to the above paragraph is no less grandiloquent ; it explains how Mr. WIL LIAM SMITH O'BRIEN "is compelled to record his dissent ;" how Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN "feels that entire silence on his part might be construed into acquiescence ;" how Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN "disclaims connexion with the Nation news paper ;" and how Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN thinks and does a great number of other things—just as if the reveries and proceedings of the said Mr. WM. SMITH O'BRIEN were of the most in tense and consummate importance to the whole civilised world ! The Liberator observed, during the course of his harangue, that he would sacrifice everything but principle and the safety of the association, to induce Mr. O'BRIEN to return—" that he would, in fact, make a bridge of gold to get him back !" We regard those expressions as the most emphatic and conclusive tes timony of the magnanimity and benevolence of the nature of Mr. O'CONNELL. He is pained at seeing a former colleague cutting so sorry a figure, and, in his charity, he endeavours to redeem the unfortunate delinquent from contempt, by resorting to hyperboles. There is more mercy than justice in the regrets ut tered by the Liberator. Let us examine the circumstances of this move ment in the Repeal Association; and when we have glanced at the few and simple facts of the case, com mon sense will compel us to acknowledge that the Arms Bill was not a greater anomaly in a liberal and enlightened Parliament, than a party advocating physical force was an anomaly in Conciliation Hall !—that the withdrawal of the . former was not likely to entail more credit upon the national legisla tors than the expulsion of the latter was likely to re dound to the credit of the Repeal Association. The fact is—Mr. O'ComsELL establishes a society to agitate for the abrogation of a certain Act of Par liament, with an expressed proviso that that object should be struggled for only by " peaceful, legal, and constitutional means." A few inexperienced interlopers, after the association has long continued under the guidance of its veteran founder, declare in favour of physical force, and malign that venerable patriot for not coinciding in their opinion, when, without the assistance of Mr. O'CosnsELL, they would have had no organised body of repealers to regale with those sentiments. And what, let us inquire, is the nature of this physical force movement ? Why, according to the assertion of the Liberator (no small authority, by the way, in legal matters), it involves a principle by the adoption of which the association would be guilty of high treason! O the sagacity of that patriotism of the Young Inlanders, which has developed it self in the Nation, according to their recusant leader, "by the extraordinary vigour of its style, by the dazzling splendour of its prose, and by the glowing beauty of its verse ! " Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN had formerly a kind of negative public existence—he has now, however, committed nothing less than political suicide. Madrid papers of the 12th have been received. It was rumoured in Madrid that MARIA CHRISTINA has expressed herself in favour of a Coburg Prince as the future husband of the QUEEN. The Court martial on the members of the Insurrectional Junta of Galicia, which has been sitting at Lugo, has pro nounced sentence of death upon some of the prisoners, and condemned others to the galleys. All the Madrid papers of every shade of opinion, urge the ne cessity of showing clemency to these unfortunate persons. MADRID BOMA, AuGUST 12.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 22k; the Four per Cents. at 2.14 ; the Passive, 64; and the Coupons, 20. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The KING opened the Chambers at one o'clock on that day. His MAJESTY, attended by a brilliant cortege, proceeded in procession from the Tuileries to the Palais Bourbon, and was received by the people throughout the line with the most enthusiastic expression of loyally and respect. His re ception in the Chamber was quite as cor dial ; and when the QUEEN appeared, leading in her hand the Comte DE PARIS, shouts of " Vive la Reine," " Vive le Comte de Paris," burst from all parts of the Chamber. We published a copy of the speech in our impression of yesterday. The passage in which he speaks of the sentiments of the Chamber towards himself and his family, and his Majesty's declaration that there was no trial, which he was not willing to undergo to forward the prosperity and grandeur of his country, were received with loud cheers. The commission of the Court of Peers charged with investigating the facts relative to the late attempt on the KING'S life met on Sunday, at the Chancellor's, to hear the report prepared by M. LAPLANGE BARRIS. The death of Marshal VALEE is announcedin the Malheur. The Marshal was in the 73d year of his age. Accounts from Algiers to the 10th instant have ar rived. We extract the following from the llioniteur Al gerien :—" We learn from Mascara that the Saharian tribes continue to move towards the Tell. Each takes up the position most suitable to its habits and mode of encampment. The hostages who were detained by ADD.EL•KADER have made their escape, but it is believed that the Emir connived at this, in order to relieve himself from the embarrassment they would occasion him in case of a collision with the Hamy anes, or perhaps from the difficulty of finding pro visions for them at the Deira. Since AIID-BL-KADER. has left the south of the division of Mascara, a re action favourable to our cause, dictated by the want of repose, and the essential means of existence, has been almost suddenly produced. There are no longer in the south any more than a few isolated fractions following the fortunes of the influential chiefs, who are able to dispense for the moment with the Tell, on account of their private re sources, which enable them to procure at a second or third hand the corn drawn from our Tell. The maintenance of tranquillity will admit of our compelling the dissentient fractions to approximate themselves to us from our being able to separate them from the submitted tribes. The last arrivals from Constantina bring us no news of importance. This province continues to be in a perfectly calm state. At every point the contributions are got in without any resistance ; the Kabyles of the circle of Dellys con tinue in their pacific disposition.

FOOT RACE AT THE BEE-HIVE GROUND, WALWORTH. —The match between Piddington and Mathews, to run two miles for 201., was won by the former, after a good race, on Monday. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. DEFEAT OF THE KAFFIRS. Important intelligence has just arrived from the Cape of Good Hope. The advices reach to the 16th of June. They state that the Kaffirs had been defeated in an en gagement at Fish River. The attack took pl3ce under Colonel Somerset, and the fighting lasted five hours. There was loss on both sides, but the Kaffirs have, without doubt, experienced a severe check. Sir Harry Darell is stated to be wounded in the arm, and Captain Walpole in the thigh and neck. _ _ The accounts were brought by the Windsor, arrived off Falmouth, from Calcutta, she having received, on touching at St. Helena, some letters and papers from the Harmony which had arrived there from the Cape.— MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.I (From The Sun of Last Night.) The demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was mode rate, and prices were much the same. Sales 6,000 bales. Shares were rather quieter, but the quotations did not vary much. The great importance of extended facilities for communi cation is evidenced daily by the extraordinary growth of cities and their increased trade. The American towns are special examples of this, and with railways and steam navi gation in England we can show a parallel. It is mentioned in advices from the United States, that— " The Western Railroad, connecting Boston with the New York improvements, and thereby with the great west, was opened in 1841. The increase of that city since, in wealth and population exhibits some astonishing results. In 1841, the valuation of property in Boston, real and personal, was, in the aggregate 98,106,606 dollars. The year following it amounted to 106,633,300 dollars ; and in 1844, the gross valuation reached the aggregate of 111,450,300 dollars. " Here, in a period of three years, an increase is shown of more than 20,000,000 dollars ; and, what makes it the more remarkable, it is an advance of 21 per cent., or one-fifth on the original valuation. "Within three years after the opening of the Erie canal, the city of New York increased about thirteen millions of dollars, which was an advance of 12 1 , 2 per cent, on the valuation of the real and personal property of the city. "In connexion with these statistics, the Albany Argus refers to Edmund Burke's account of the European settle ments in America, written in 1757, eighty-eight years ago. ' There are in all the provinces of New England,' says Mr. Burke, large towns which derive considerable trade. Boston, the capital of Massachusetts Bay, is the first city of New England, and of all North America; it contains at least 20,000 inhabitants.' " Since that sentence was written, although Boston has increased in population more than four-fold, she is no longer the chief city in America. With a population of 375.000, not to include Brookly, with its 40,000, the City of New York has become the commercial emporium of the Western Continent. Eighty-eight years ago, New York had not 20,000 inhabitants. In a few years she will, with her ad juncts number half a million.' Intelligence of June 16 has been received from the Cape of Good Hope. The Kaffirs had at last received a signal proof of their inferiority in close combat, Colonel Somerset and his force having defeated them with great loss, as is supposed; though the advices by this opportunity are not by a direct arrival from the Cape, but by a vessel which brings the news from St. Helena.

It was small in size, not mu c h l arger th an a " skep-bee , " and very black. As soon as it got quit of its ironstone p rison it commenced those that are hopping off until it got into a pool of water, and then it showed the same dexterity in swimming as not accustomed to so long an imprisonment.

DEPARTURE OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS OF KENT FROM THE ISLE OF WIGHT. PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 18.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Anna Maria Dawson and Sir George Couper, Baronet, embarked from Mead's Creek, Osborne, shortly after eight o'clock this morning, in Admiral Sir Charles Ogle's sailing yacht the Fanny, and the wind being tair she arrived in Portsmouth harbour by half-past nine. The Admiral was waiting in his barge to take her Royal Highness and suite to the Clarence-yard, and they landed at twenty minutes to ten o'clock. A guard of honour fur nished by her Majesty's 3d Buffs, the commanding officer of that regiment, and Captain Carter, and the officers of the Clarence-yard were on the wharf to receive her Royal High ness. As her Royal Highness had arranged to travel by the mail train, which leaves Gosport at half•past ten o'clock, she was pleased to accept the offer of Mr. Grant, the store keeper of the department, to remain in his house until the carriages arrived, when that gentleman availed himself of the opportunity of pointing out to her Royal Highness the rooms, &c., which her Majesty, Prince Albert, his Majesty the King of the French, and the distinguished English and French ladies and noblemen who were with them, used in October, 1844, when they were prevented embarking in the yacht and French squadron by a heavy gale of wind, which compelled his Majesty and suite to return to London, and cross over to France by way of Dover. The Duchess of Kent expressed to Mr. Grant her thanks and hearty acknowledg ments for his attention, and on Mr.Mears, the superintendent of the terminus, announcing that the engine and carriages were ready, her Royal Highness, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, and Sir G. Cowper, were escorted to the platform by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, and the train quitted, leaving tne Gosport terminus at half-past ten o'clock. The Victory, and the other men of war in the harbour, were decorated with flags in compliment to her Royal Higii ness, and royal salutes were fired from that ship and the Platform Battery, on the Fanny yacht passing with the royal standard ing. WEYMOUTH.-TUESDAY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Her Majesty's steam yacht has just put into Portland Roads, with the royal standard flying at her mast head. A royal salute from Portland Ca,tle greeted her arrival. The Eagle and other revenue cruisers have gone up into the toads, and our Town Council are now deliberating as to the best methods of testifying their loyalty and respect to our beloved Monarch. Colonel Freestun has most handsomely placed his yacht at their disposal ; and although it is blow ing a heavy gale from the S.S.W., with much rain at inter vals, the inhabitants are all on the qua vice, looking from the Nothe and Look-out, in the anxious hope that the Queen and Prince will honour us with a visit while their vessel is lying in the roads. We believe that guns are to be placed on the Nothe, in order to salute her Majesty from thence; and that, if pos sible, the Corporation will proceed to the royal yaoht with a loyal address and invitation to honour us with a isit. P.S. It is just post time, and the gale is increasing, so her Majesty will not be able to leave Portland-roads to night, there is such a heavy sea in the Channel, and the wind seems likely to continue in its present violence. GREAT ROWING MATCH FOR TWO HUNDRED POUNDS. THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. This great aquatic contest, which has created so much sensation, and been the theme of cony, rsation for some time, between Charles Campbell and Robert Coombes, for 1001. a-side and the championship of the Thames, came off yesterday afternoon. Campbell, it will be recollected by souse of our readers, has not made his appearance in public since he beat Coombes, in a scullers match, some few years back, until the late Thames Regatta. Coombes has been in almost daily practice, having won several matches of late, and one very recently on the Tyne, beating Clasper. Both men have been in training ever since the match was made, Campbell having worked down his superfluous flesh, and both appeared in excellent con dition. Messrs. Cowden and Wentzell constructed the boats for both men, being built of cedar. Coombea's boat was 30 feet long, and Campbell's the same length, but a little wider at the main-thwart, Coombes's boat weighing 40 pounds, and Campbell's 43 pounds. The start took place at half-past twelve precisely, Campbell being on the Middlesex shore, and Coombes on the Surrey. For the first dozen strokes the men kept well together, when Campbell missed a stroke with his left hand, and Coombes obtained a slight lead, which he improved on. At Hammersmith-bridge, 'ming one minute a-head, he still improved on Camp bell, the latter man not setting his boat, and seeming all abroad in an outrigger, but he still tried his best. Coombes rowed very easy, arriving at the winning boat one minute and three-quarters before his opponent, per forming the distance in twenty-seven minutes. The attendance was very great, the shore being thronged with spectators, and an immense number of cutters, steamers, &c., were on the river. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING.

The following summary of affairs in Mexico (from the IVew Orleans Picayune) is valuable, from its minute ness end general accuracy, and will be read with interest by those who take an interest in the condition of that sad spectacle of a republic:— The discourse of General Paredes before tho Mexican Congress was pronounced on the 6th o f J une . It h a s already been received and published in the United States. Congress proceeded at once to organise the executive power, by a decree that it should be deposited provisionally in a magistrate elected by a plurality of the votes of Congress, and that a Vice-President should be elected at the same time to act in the absence of the President. This decree was passed on the 10th of June, and on the 12th the election was held. General Paredes was elected President, receiving 58 out of 83 votes. General Bravo received 13 votes, and General Herrera 7 votes. General Bravo was then elected Vice-President, re ceiving 48 out of 82 votes. The highest opposing can didate was D. Luis G. Cuevas, who received 17 votes. General Paredes took the oaths of office on the 13th as provisional President, and at the same time pro nounced another discourse, in the most notable passage of which he expresses his confidence that Congress will grant all the supplies and make every effort necessary to defend the national cause. He reviews at length the wrongs which Mexico has endured at the hands of the United States, and concludes with desiring permission to assume the command of the army in the field. In the absence of Senor Bustatnente, who was ill, Dr. D. Louis Gonzaga Gordoa presided over Congress. He replied to the President in substance, that every ques tion of domestic policy shrunk into insigeificance com pared with the invasion of the country on the frontier of the Rio Bravo; that the Mexican who should think of aught else than the injustice and treachery with which their soil was trampled, and the necessity . of avenging their outraged honour, had no right to claim a share in their patriotic devotion. On the 18th permission was granted to Paredes to place himself at the head of troops, and proceed to join the army of the north. General Gonzalez Arevalo was to leave the capital on the 19th, in command of the ad vance of the forces of Paredes. General Mejia was in the actual command of the army of the north, Arista having been ordered to Mexico, and Ampudia to re main at San Luis Potosi. (A. paper of the 27th ult. says that General Arevado, instead of proceeding to the frontier, had marched for Guadulajara to put down the insurrection.) General Bravo left Vera Cruz for the city of Mexico on the 24th, to discharge the functions of President in the absence of Paredes. Our papers are not late enough to contain his arrival. The committees of Congrees upon foreign relations and upon war mach a joint report on the 16th on that part of the message of Paredes relating to the United States. The report recommends the passage of a bill declaring Mexico to be " in a state of war with the United States." We do not find that the bill had ac tually been passed. The project of the law or bill will be tound below. The cannonade between St. Mary's and the three Mexican gun-boats, Quereiana, Union, and Poblana, .at Tampico, is mentioned in all the. Mexican papers. They claim no great victory, but express themselves satisfied with the valour displayed by the Mexicans. We see no mention of any loss which was suff red. A report is mentioned in our correspondent's letter and in the papers before us, that the Americans had taken Altarnira, a sea-port lying directly north of Tampico, and only a few miles ditant. There seems no impro• bab•lity in the report. The General left in command of Vera Cruz on the 30th ult., formally declared that city to be in a state of siege, in order to prepare all the people for an antici pated attack upon it. The garrison of the castle had received orders to be on the alert, particularly at night, as the danger of a night attlek was thought imminent. Our correspondent writes—" It is said" an attack was to be made on the 10th instant, but we know nothing more on the subject. The General to whom the command of Vera Cruz was intrusted is Ro‘friqu z de Cela. A report bad reachi-d Vera Cruz that the Californias had separated themselve.; from Mexico, but nothing is said to let us know whether CAnmodore Sloat had any thing to do with the separation. The subject is men tioned by our Havannah correspondent. A• communication has been received in Mexico from the commander of the troops sent to put down the insur rection in Jalisco, in which he attributed little impor tance to the events which occurred there, and expressed the hope that he should be able promptly to chastise the authors of the movement. The latest dispatch from Guw/alajara is dated June 18, at which date General Pacheco informs the Govern ment that he has possession of a good portion of•the public buildings of the city, and the insurgents numbered only 1,200 and were daily dispersing. General Tornel has again assumed the functions of Minister of War. A large quantity of ammunition has beent sent to the city of Mexico from the Ca , tle of Perote, together with some mounted cannon and muskets. The papers are full of individual tenders of money to aid in carrying on the war. The Mexican Government has declared the ports of Mazatlan and Matamoros closed to foreign commerce. The publication of El Tiempo, the Bourbonist paper, has been discontinued since Congress has commenced its session. El Indicador, of Vera Cruz, of the 23d ult. states that the English war steamer Vesuviu.s (which arrived at Sacrificios on the 14th) had left for Tampico to de mand from the commander of the St. Mary's explana tions as to his motives for not permitting the steamer Clyde to take on board specie, as the English steamers had hitherto done. It also says that the commander of the Vesuvius 'would take It on board his own vessel. In this connexion we may mention, that beside the Vesuvius, another English war steamer, a 50 gun frigate, and a brig of-war, arrived at Sacrificios on the 14th, from Jamaica. The Vera Cruz editor is at a loss to account for the concentration of such a force there by the English. A Spanish frigate and brig, and a French bark and brig, all vessels of war, were lying there on the 18th ult. On the 21st news was received at Vera Cruz that an American brig-of-war was blockading the port of Al varado. The next day intelligence reached there that some boats from the brig had pursued a Mexican boat across the bar. Some boats from the Mexican vessels of war went to the assistance of the boat, and the people were called to arms. The Mexican boat made its escape. Say the Mexicans, " The victory was ours ; but there was none killed or wounded, as the Americans did not venture to measure strength with us." The American boats were by signal ordered back to the brig. Subsequently to this tremendous affair the brig went to sea. The whole is reported as a great outrage. An American sloop-of-war arrived off the port of Vera Cruz on the 30th ult., and an American brig-of war at the same date was seen sailing towards Isla Verde. On the 18th ult. there was an American frigate at Sacrificios, and a brig-of-war. On the 29th, the Spa nish ship Flar de Llanes spoke an American vessel of war twenty leagues from Vera Cruz, which he supposed to be the fig-ship Cumberland. The Committee of the Mexican Congress to which was referred the report of the Minister of Finance, in relation to obtaining resources for the war, on the 20th of June, reported a law to the following effect:— " 1. During the existence of the war which the United States is making upon the Mexican nation, the t;overn ment is authorised to rare the sums necessary for the war in the manner most convenient and efficacious, (but without taking possession of the private property of indi viduals or corporations), allotting to each class the amount of money which it should contribute to the pub lie defence, in the order it should judge equitable. "2. The Government is authorised to make use of all the national revennes, taking care to apply them in ti e best manner the circumstances will admit, to the fulfilment of the objects to which rach of them is appropriated. "3. The Government is authorised to regulate the payment of the national debt. "4. To take measures for the regulation and improve ment of the public revenues and their administration ; consulting in everything relating to the organisation of the bureaus and the administration of the revenues the superior junta of the treasury, which it will organise in the manner which it shall deem most suitable. This report, signed by Senor Alantan among others, was objected to at once wad in Soto, as being too indefi nite as to the powers with which it would invest the Go vernment. Two members were then added to the com mittee, and the subject referred back to them. On the 23d June, Paredes issued a decree for the organisation in the capital, of a battalion of infantry and two squadrons of cavalry from the commercial classes, which were to find their own equipments, and whose sole duties should be the preservation of order in the capital and the protection of private proper ty the This measura was adopted with a view to leave he garrison at liberty to march to the capitatpon the form On the 20th a Committee of Cop_ e' gre a s s yP Valencia ena, C w u e t r o e o , it uti Bonilla, was T appointed. agi e ßßomero, a om e Pen a A ° f r ra n i ll c a o ga s appointed. We annex a translatio n of the projet de lei, or bill, i na reported in rela tion to the war, by t he committee to B cane ra and Valencia were which it was referred. .o g this committee. After a short among the members of report upon the circumstances of the case, the com mittee proposed the following:— " The extraordinary National Congress of the Mexican Republic considering: " That the Republic of the United States of America, with notorious violation of all right, has instigated and protected openly and perseveringly the insurrection of the colonists of Texas against the nation which had ad mitted them upon its territory, and generously shielded them with the protection of its laws. St That it has incorporated the same territory of Texas into its union by an Act of its Congress, notwith standing it has alway s b e l onge d b y undisputed right to the Mexican nation ; has been recognised as such by the United States themselves, as appears by the boundary treaties of 1832 and 1835. " That it has not maintained the solemn assurances and reservations in regard to the rights of the Mexican Republic, which by means of its agents it had made in conformity with those treaties. " That it has also invaded the department of Tamau lipas, introducing an army upon the left bank of the Rio Bravo, giving occasion and origin to the battles of the Bth and 9th of May of the present year. " That in time of profound peace, and during the established relations of amity between the two countries, it has invaded by land and sea the territories of the Californias. " That it has blockaded the ports of Matamoros, Vera Cruz, and Tampico of Tamaulip as, opening its fire upon the defences ut the latter. " That it has authorised a levy of troops against 3,l•_txico. "That it has declared war against the republic, under the pretext that the said state: had been invaded, when, in fact, they made the invasion. "And, lastly, considering that the nationality of th• Mexicans is seriously compromised by the power and the spirit of usurpation, fbgranily manifested by the neighbouring nation of the United States—Dt creee, " Ist. The Mexican nation, in the exercise of its natural defence, is actually in a state of war with the United States of America. " 2d. In consequence thereof, the Government will employ all its resources and powers to render the war effectual to the reparation of the injury done to the Mexican nation; it will complete the bodies of perma nent militia, and levy new forces at once to the extent it shall deem necessary. both to fill up the bodies st pre,ent on foot, and to create others of the same descrip tion; and if it shall need other special powers, Congress will confer them." This report bears date the 16th tilt:, but we find it in a paper of the 271 h, and we know not at all what action was taken by Congress upon it. The diplomatic corps paid their respects to the Pre• sident upon the 21st, to felicitate him upon his election. The British Minister, Mr. Bankhead, addressed the President on the subject very briefly, and in very general terms. The reply of the President is of the same chit' racter—not a line in it possesses any interest. Advices have been received from Durango, giving an account of an action between a body of Mexicans and band of savages, in which the Mexicans were utterly de feated, with the loss of their commander and others, lett dead on the field. This occurred early in June. The situation of Matamoros and the north-eastern de partment is represented in the Mexican papers as de" plorable. Without the speedy arrival of aid they are lost irrecoverably, say the Mexicans. Copies of the Republic of Rio Grande had been received in Mexico. The papers say they are written in bad Spanish•—• Shocking At four o'clock on the morning of the 21st inst., there was a slight shock of an earthquake felt at Vera Cm* which lasted some seconds. It was accompanied by great agitation and roaring of the sea. The papers pill heaven to spare them from the calamities of the elements , while they are suffering from the evils of a foreign war. The people of Tlacotalpam, on learning of the blockade of Alvarado, enlisted, to the number of several hundreds , to defend the bar, and a few thousand dollars were raised by subscription to erect fortifications. Both the departments of Chihuahua and Durango are suffering from the ravages of the Comanches and Lepatts• Their outrages are partially attributed to the intrigues of the North Americans, some of whom have been seen with the Indians. MIGUELITE INSURRECTION. (From the Times.) A gentleman, just arrived from Oporto, has favoured with a copy of the following proclamation, leaned on the 10th inst. : PRO LEGE ET GREBE. IN THE NAME OF H. M. F. M. Dow Mlourc, I. PROCLAMATION Issued by the General-in-Chief and Military Director, " ginald Re Macdonnell, to the soldiers, Royalists, and patriot" of Portugal. Soldiers and Royalists,—What with Charter and Constitu tion, Portugal has become the prey of faction and the elp° l4 of anarchy; it is, therefore, you who must rise and take th e lead in rescuing your country from the state of degradation in which it lies. The crisis has arrived, and the remeor brance of past events ought to spur you on to exertion; for in the war which you have lately waged with invasion a nd revolution, you were not vanquished, you were betrayed' Your fleet was captured in a simulated combat; .Y° llr capital was occupied without even the form of defence; your army was subdivided and rendered ineffective by detail; and, when finally assembled, it was decoyed t° Evora, and there cajoled into "a needless and base capitula tion. Such were the combined effects of domestic intrigue, and foreign chicanery, aided and abetted by the perfiy 111 those councillors who surrounded the throne, and to w d ill; by a dire fatality,- your deetinies were confided. invading adversaries, conscious of their own weakue'r were astonished at their own success : they instinctivq knew that they owed no su c h advantage to an y virtue themselves, yet they cunningly made the most of the osc 3 ii sion, and strove to impose on Europe the belief that °,, was due to their proper wisdom and heroism: The foreig press teemed with tee productions of their pen, professia!, in title, to be histories of the war; productions of invidiou; and sinister character, in which f'tcts were garbled, disto rted ; and suppressed, in order that you might have censure an; they might have praise ; but this wretched ambition wt not all, for in public, if success made them vain—in secre , their tears made them cruel; and while abroad they wer e ` le d Live with the pen, at home they were active with the pan t r o . The Convention of Evora had scarcely been concluded w7.9t a plot was formed for its violation;_ though the Itile' t l i a armed force had been dissolved, the Royalist party was: et ,. undiminished in its numbers, and still unchauged in its ' timents, it formed the vast majority 1-1 of the Portugu nation. As it could not, therefore, be d es troyed in "d„, s p ills' recourse was had to assassination to destroy it i n e p t,. ` every Royalist of any leading, and who bore a good ...4 was doomed to be a victim.

What they wet then, such they are now, and such would continue to be for the spurious character is for ever the same. No otb_ i er course of policy is, indeed, to be expected from a raw at revolutionary Government, that must needs be a mockery,. the eyes of the nation, and thus kept alive to its own in' efficiency; for there is .no authority so unjust and cruel ' that which is haunted by the fear of contempt. 0 Soldiers and Royalists, your fate has been hard! fortan_ has been cruelly severe, and public opinion has don e Y e ! wrong! You sacrificed your wealth to maintain the alt t; and the throne in their Divine and legitimate purit,y, yet you have been denied the principle of patriotism. iv",„ ventured your lives in the active discharge of what deemed to be a duty, and yet you have bean describers_r, devoid of moral virtue I you fought better than your adv,el saries, and that too under every disadvantage, and yet Y i ' o have been decried and stigmatised as cowards! I In a o ., these assertions boldly, for I speak of facts which I kr 1 ,0.,, and of conduct which I witnessed. A knowledge of t_7 s ; indisputable facts has enabled me to advocate your c 1 1 0... throughout Europe, in despite of opposition, and the rem t& brance of your good and noble conduct impels me not t 4 take the field, and fills me with pride while I thus ada7 you, for I know you Will learn with delight that the W restoration is declared.
