The French Government has at last published a dispatch from Morocco. It is from the Prince DE JOIN VILLE, and we are glad to find that the young; Admiral details the operations before Tangiers and Mogadore without any boasting, and professes the . the only object of the squadron before these places is peace. We have no fault to find with ne dispatch. On the whole, it is creditable to the Prince ; ar.d though he attacked Tangiers before the return of Mr. II 'r, the English Consul, from the Court of - Morocco, the fault, according to his showing, does not lie with him, and must he attributed entirely to the commu nilations made by Marshal BUGEA lUD, and to the in structions from the Minister of Marine. The forme: stated that he had been deceived by the Moors re specting the expulsion of ABD ADER, and the lat ter ordered the Prince to commence warlike opera. tions unless the ultimatum of the French Governmen was accepted. It appears the ultimatum was no' accepted at the time when the bombardment com mewed. The EMPEROR demanded the punishmern of Marshal 1311GRAUD, which, of course, was not in eluded in the French conditions, and the squadron without waiting Mr. HAY'S return, began the attact What news our Consul brought from the EMPEROL we have no means of ascertaining, further than from the remarks of the Prince, that, according to the report of Mr. HAT, .he was much depressed. This would lead to the inference that he was inclined t( yield, and possibly, also, that he had given Mr. HAI power to effect an arrangement. Of that, however, we can say nothing positively till our Government throws some light on this very mysterious and unex pected atta c k u p on a P ower so l ong i n f r i en dly al liance with En g l an d. W e ma y remark that there is evidently a b reak i n the dispatches. - The Prince gives no account of his approach to Mogadore, the mode of attack, or the numbers opposed to him. He merely states the number of killed and wounded on both sides, the occupation of the island, and the g p blockade of the p ort. It is bungling practice on the part of the French auth or i t i es to cast, by this circum stance, such suspicions on th e real merits of the case, and confirm suspicions rais e d b y the suppression ol former dispatches. In the Times of yesterday appea-s an able letter alldressed by a clergyman to the Bishops of Eng land and Wales on the subject of the present demo- Wised condition of the poor, wherein the writer en deavours to enlist the syvnpathy of the Rev. Prelates in behalf of the more helpless and destitute members of thefr flocks, and warns them that the time is for - ever past when they can, without imminent hazard to the best interests of the Establishment, neglect their duties as churchmen, or discharge them—as was fur so many years the case—in a spirit of sullen coldness and indifference. " Connected as the Church is with - the State," observes our Contemporary's Correspon- Nr.140g4 ," the. people have merely a right to consider 774f5.:,,,that Church as in a great measure entrusted with the r.:, , ' giardiaiiilaip of ` its moral health; we are as ( watch- VH- . , ,-,k ii-- , ‘' . - i N i s men, whose duty it is to proclaim the existence of whatever may tend to undermine that health. The poor look to us as those whose acknowledged calling points them out as friends of the needy, defenders of the oppressed. My Lords, is it not most true that . the seeds of moral contamination are being daily sown amongst a very large proportion of the poor of our flocks ? We cannot close our eyes to the fact, that there is that at work which is fast weaning the affections of the labouring poor from those above them. Their common rights are fast passing from them, the labourer will soon become the most lite rally of all men a pilgrim on earth, he will not have where to set his foot but upon a footpath of road. Scripture once gave the poor a title to the gleanings of the harvest field, as it gave a title to the tithe of the priesthood ; those gleanings have not been commuted by agreement with them." For much of this dis heartening state of things the Church is unquestion ably responsible ; for though of late it has worked with something like diligence in the spiritual vine yard, yet for a long series of years it paid little or no attention to its duties, but was invariably found looking sharply after its own selfish temporal interests, to the neglect of all nobler considerations. Instead of exerting the immense moral influence it possessed over the minds of the upper and middle classes of society in the cause of the poor and the oppressed, and setting a lofty example of charity, forbearance, and humility, it was eotispicuous only by its apathy, its hauteur, and its intolerance towards the humbler orders, reserving its respect and its consideration for , thosa of superior grade. In a word, it was of " the world worldly," and too often regarded the poor with the same supercilious eyes with which DIVES regarded its LAZARUS in the Scriptures. It is now much im proved in its tone of feeling—an amendment, how ever, which is less, we fear, the work of choice, than the result of imperious necessity—but there is still room for further improvement, and it must be greatly changed from what it now is, even if it can be said fully and conscientiously to fulfil its mission, as the accredited Church of the poor. The injurious conse quences of the neglect of years is not easily reme died, and it will be a long time before the Establish. ment regains its old place in the affections and confi dence of the lower orders. To advocate the building of new churches is doubtless a discreet act of policy on the part of the priesthood ; but we tell the Bishop of LONDON, who is the chief promoter of this scheme, that he will be far more usefully—and we may even add, piously—employed, in exhorting his clergy to be - - more constant in their attendance on the poorer mem bers of their flocks, in ministering to their necessities, consulting them in their difficulties, sympathising with them in their sufferings, and acting towards them in the triple capacity of guides, guardians, and friends. The multiplication of new churches alone will not suffice to make a people religious; this can only be done by the zeal, the charity, the toleration and munificence of their spiritual pastors and masters. In referring our readers to the proceedings at the Gravesend Police of the 25th instant, of which we have published a very full report, we are desirous of showing in how remarkable a degree they affect the interests and convenience of that very considerable portion of our metropolitan population, which we may describe as being, constantly, in transitu between London and Gravesend. It will not be necessary for us to devote many words to a notice of the very arbi trary and authoritative tone adopted by the commit ting Magistrates in convicting the parties, against whom warrants of distress were subsequently ;ranted fur levy of the several fines imposed upon them by the Bench. To these Magistrates, it seems—not merely, that the indelicacy and impropriety of their hearing complaints against servants of a Company which has long acted in successful rivalry to that of which they themselves are notoriously shareholders, did not occur; but, chat, when this fact was distinctly urged upon their attention, and after one of their body (the Chairman , isf the rival Company employing the defendants) had set them the becoming example of retiring from the justice-room pending the decision on the charges, they persisted in taking the complaints (instead of allow ing them to be carried, as suggested, before the Jounty justices). They broadly vindicated the course they had taken, and condemned the men in somewhat heavy penalties. The general outline of the case evolved in the proceedings is briefly stated. For some time past the enormous increase of the , passengers by steam-boats to and from Gravesend has been so rapid, that various companies have been formed to meet the demands for this river-passage accommodation, the chief of which are the "Diamond" Ind the "Star" Companies. To facilitate the em ')arkation and disembarkation of this vast body if passengers (now averaging, daily, about 12,000 )ersons), there are.two Royal Piers at Gravesend ; the )Ider one, situate also in the older part of the town, -.allied the Town-pier; the more recently con structed one, termed the Terrace-pier, being erected At a point leading to the new town. The old or Town ?ler is frequented by the packets of the Diamond Company, the new or Terrace-pier by those of the star Company ; and between these two bodies the isual bickerings, consequent on a vigorous competition, save naturally arisen. The public, as is usual, and in teed it is but the reasonable and legitimate result ,f such struggles, has derived the benefit of his energetic rivalry in that reduction of its sriginal fares which either Association has been in luced to make. The " Diamond " Company we be ieve set the example ; of course all the other Corn sanies were obliged to follow it. But (as Mr. :d'ItUDEN observed, when addressing his brother ma ;istrates in a speech, the manliness, pith and purport if which did him much honour)—while the Diamond Company engaged, in its advertisements, to carry pas .engers from the Town-pier to London, " calling at Blackwall," for 9d. each, it omitted to inform the public hat an extra charge would be made for the journey ay the Blackwall Railway. The Star Company fairly tnnounced "that it contracted to take each passenger by ,heir boats from the Terrace-pier to London, for the rare throughout, "by boat and rail," of 9d. only. The star Company, it appears, have closed with the offer )1 the Blackwall Railway Company, as renewed by .hem this season, the latter undertaking to give " a ?reference to such packets as should resort to their •ail-pier exclusively—that is, without intercourse with my piers above Blackwall—by allowing them the privilege of remaining alongside the Brunswick .vharf for half an hour, thus giving them the chance of passengers by two - trains." The " Diamond" Corn. zany rejected this offer ; and very considerable benefits appearing to have resulted to their wiser rival from accepting a proffer, out of the ad 'antages of which they have thus excluded them ,elves, the Diamond Company are now disposed to )ush their animosity to the Star people to any extent. is they forget, however, in so doing that the tra velling public generally, and the inhabitants of Ciravesend indirectly, are parties necessarily injured !) . y the lengths to which this animosity is pursued, we shall endeavour in'few words to expose the barefaced !haracter of the interested judgments pronounced by .he magisterial functionaries of the " Diamond " Company. From whatever causes in addition to those we have named, the Terrace-pier is eliciting a preference from passengers beyond all calculation over the Town- In the month of June last there landed and embarked at the two piers 330,739 passengers; of which number, there were 41,439 more at the Ter r:ice than the Town-pier. In July, the numbers at both piers were 463,045 ; the excess of the Terrace- pier, being, again, 43,903 over the Town-pier, and of course the freights of the Star Company, which use it, being in proportion, over those of the Diamond Company which use the Town-pier. Hence abun- (lant and something of unscrupulous jealousy. The Star Company's office, whether by design or by , hance we know not, happens to be near this latter pier ; and it is pretty clear that their servants in " touting" for their packets and delivering to pas sengers cards or hand-bills explanatory of the advan tages of their single fares per boat, and per rail, both, have been just sufficiently over zealous as to bring themselves within the liability to a charge, or information, or complaint for obstructing the highway, and consequently within the enactments of a local Act for enabling the Corporation of Gravesend to prevent annoyances, nuisances, and obstructions. Perhaps, bad the charges in the present instance been brought by some private individuals, —litigious over-much, or smitten with that love of " making a fuss" about nothing, which is a beset ting sin of small travellers, there would have been little matter for animadversion, though there THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 31. 1844. might be much for ridicule or for pity. But it does 1 cept through bad faith or folly. But if the French happen that of the five Magistrates, &c., exclusive of authorities . had the inc on t es t a bl e r i g ht t o se i ze an d re move a ritish subect who h excited iances, the Mayor, who were present in the Grav e send Jus- there should have b e en a certain f orm obser d ved. sturb Lieut.

The ! French Government, thereforc annot refuse to sanction Company ;—Mr. SPENCER and Mr. OASES, as stated the blame already expressed' by his own immediate by Mr. CRUDEN, were directors or proprietors of the r officer on this want of proper form, or the useless seve " Diamond" Company_; and Mr. SOUTHGATE, act- rity exercised by M. d'Aubigny : but the French Go vernment can do no more w i t h out a depar t ure f rom th a t ing as the solicitor for the complainants, was their which is warranted b y t h e rea l facts, an d t h e mora lity secretary !

The conduct to be pursued by France is facts, very properly left the Bench before the order traced by good sense. The Cabinet assembled yesterday to come to a decisio n on t h e a ff a i r . W e b e li eve we are decreeing the penalties was finally made against the two men.

We have not u tertain any serious appreh ens i on as to t h e i ssue o f suc h a miserable difficulty." forgotten the scandalous oppressions and the We have published elsewhere two dispatches from denial of right and law practised for so many Marshal BUGEAUD, dated L Ia la Magrania, giving de years with impunity on the poor oyster dredgers of tails of the state of the two armies previous to the Queenborough, by a former Mayor of that battle of Isly. On these dispatches the Journal des since disqualified borough. But all in good time— Debats makes the following remarks : and Gravesend, if such proceedings as these "ex parte ~ The dispatches of Marshal Bugeaud, dated the 11th Diamond v. Star," as we may call them, be encouraged, and 13th, are a species of preface to the report of the will rival Queenborough. We had almost forgotten to battle, expected . with an impatience fully justified by the importance of its results , as already announced by the state that in times past, when the " Diamonds" were in telegraphic dispatch. I n the meantime, the two preli the a3cendant, their servants used to tout pro them, minary reports of Marshal Bugeaud are of great interest. and contra all other companies ; and yet, mar- They show, in the first instance, that the Prince de Juin vellous to tell, not one of these Diamond Magis- ville . did not open hi s fi re upon T ang i ers unt il ma d e ac quainted with the fruitlessness of Mr. Hay's mission, a trates, Directors, nor their Secretary, ever fact which was denied or denaturalised by certain Lon dreamed of preferring an information under their local don newspapers. Passing to the state of things on the Act against the delinquents! We trust and hope the frontier, to the threatening attitude assumed by the Moors, Lord-Chancellor may have this affair brought under their provocations, and the daily increase of their forces, it is evident that the patience and longanimity of Marshal his notice, for we shall then be assured that this most Bugeaud have been very great. No one can blame him equitable Bench will receive a most righteous casti- for this, since by his forbearance he has placed right and gation at his Lordship's hands, on behalf of the public, justice on the side of France, as well as victory, when the measure of his moderation was full. We have now had opposed to us not only the tribes excited by Abd-el- Kader, whose personal weight and consequence have become secondary, but a whole Morocco army with its Kaids and Pachas and a son of the Emperor for its Commander-in-Chief, while another son of the Sultan was in full march to join it with rein forcements. They loudly proclaimed their projects and their hopes ; they declared their desire to drive us out of the province of Oran ; to ravish from us the ancient kingdom of Tlemcen, conquered three hundred years ago by Kair Eddin (Chereddin), the brother to Bab Aroudji (Barbarossa), both founders of the state of Al geria. The tribes who have made their submission to us could not be suffered to believe that the French were afraid of the Moroccomen, already three times defeated on making as many acts of aggression : the fidelity of these tribes would have been shaken, and the enemy, by an expedition, might have got into our rear, and raised them against us, placing us between two fires. All must admire the language of the Marshal when speaking of the danger of remaining longer on the de fensive ; he says, the least of all is the daily increasing numbers of our enemy. He saw and seized the precise moment for action. This foresight, the calculations and plan of his intended movements, are those of a general whose ability is matured by experience, whose eye is clear and comprehensive, whose mind is determined, and whose resolution is to act with vigour. He has been taught, and knows how to bring into use, the great les sons given by the immortal campaigns in Egypt, a country in which war presented to him the same aspect." Though we have already given ample extracts from the papers, we must make room for another ar ticle, which points out the object of Lord PALMER STON'S visit to the German Courts, and urges the Go vernmen of France to be prepared for the worst. It is taken from the Siecle, and is as follows : " It would be dangerous to deceive ourselves, England is preparing for war. The alliance with Russia is eventually concluded, and it is endeavour ing to raise the spirit of Germany against France. The task is difficult, and for that reason Lord Palmer ston considered that he ought not to relinquish it to the agents of the Foreign-office. The Noble Viscount, when ever there is an opportunity of injuring France, con siders himself as holding office, and we are informed that the tour of pleasure which he is at present making at the other side of the Rhine is not without a political object. He is reviving all the ancient hatred ex cited in the year 1840. We 'rust, for all the 'reasons we have already given, that Germany will not suffer itself to be :again deceived by the phan tasmageria of French ambition; But if the diplo matic pans of Great Britain are yet enveloped in a veil, her maritime plans appear glaring as the sun. The Admiralty is ostensibly occupied in placing their sailing fleet in a condition to crush ours by numbers, and their steam fleet to prevent an invasion, of which the English entertain more dread than they wish to admit. They themselves, notwithstanding their pride, are compelled to proclaim the necessity of fortifying their coasts. But facts on this occasion are supremely eloquent—we shall, therefore, commence by comparing the two sailing fleets. England reckons 89 ships of the line on the books cf the Admiralty. Amongst these vessels there are at least 60 which may be considered as absolutely useless, as they could not be armed again without most expensive repairs. The fact unexaggerated is, that England has 18 ships which would be ready for sea in six weeks, and might in six months be supported by 10 or 12 others. If the war should be prolonged beyond a year the Admiralty would have time to complete 7 or 8 of the 15 ships which are in a forward state of construction, and thus to increase the effective of the British navy to 36 or 40 ships of the line. The comparison appears to be esta blished thus :—At the first shock, England 18 ships-of the-line ; France, 14. After six months, England 30 ships •, France 20 to 22. After one year, England 36 to 40 ; France only 20 to 22, because the ships we have on the stocks are not sufficiently advanced to be finished in a year. Now, let us compare the steam navy. It ap pears from documents communicated to Parliament that the war-steamers amount to 48, with a power of 15,757 horses. The steam nary of France ought by virtue of Ho) al ordinances to be composed of five frigates of 540 horse-power, 15 of 450, 20 corvettes of from 220 to 320, and 30 vessels of 160 and less. Ships, 70 ; pawer, 18,750 horses. The 43 steam-vessels afloat en the Ist of January last represented only a power of 7,340 horses ; but we have been increasing for eight months, and at the end of the year we could oppose to England a power of 12,000 horses, represented by 60 ves sels, without reckoning thel Levant boats. That, no doubt, is an unpleasant inferiority ; but it is compensated by the necessity under which the English labour in being obliged to defend various points against our attacks. These comparisons are not of a nature to excite alarm. If peace be maintained, not withstanding the irritation existing on the other side of the Channel, it will be by the consideration that we have the means of defending ourselves successfully against England. Our neighbours, brave as they be, are not persons to undertake an affair in which they would have too much risk to incur. The English Admiralty is arm ing six ships of the line; let us in our turn arm and take advantage of the victory which crowns our arms to make friends by obtaining justice from the Moor for Sweden, Denmark, and particularly for Spain. Spain is our natural ally ; but it is particularly in Morocco that her interests are identified with ours. Let us forget nothing —let us neglect nothing. During 14 years right has been on our side, and insolence on that of our adversa ries. Let France, therefore, have confidence in her right, as well as in her courage !"

" M. MAVROCORDATO and his colleagues have re signed, and their resignation has been accepted. " The KING has empowered M. COLETTI to form a new Administration. day : " The elections for Athens have been suspended for some days. " The city is perfectly tranquil." Madrid journals of the 22d instant have been re ceiven, but they contain no additional intelligence from Morocco. Though the capital was tranquil, ru mours of plots and conspiracies prevailed, which would probably lead to more arrests. In reference to the state of the country and the unconstitutional measures of the Government, the Castellano says : " We believe that conspiracies do exist ; we believe that we are exposed to more peril than is generally thought • we believe that the Government's en em i es dispose of large sums, and bring into play every possible means ; but we also believe that the means adopted by the authorities of the provinces are insufficient and in- efficient, and even favOurable to the conspirators. Their perpetual fears confer importance on the conspirators, make them suppose that the Government is weak, and enable them to inveigh aloud against oppression and tyranny. Persecutions, banishments, and imprisonments 'produce the worst effect. Let them be relinquished ; let individual liberty be respected, without neglecting proper means of severely chastising the revolutionists, when they dare raise their heads. We demand of the Government a vigilant force and resolution,-but we wish that force to be lawful, at least until an insurrection break out, and render a transient suspension of tho laws necessary to save the constitution and the throne." According to another paper, a great number of officers belonging to the garrison at Alcala had been dismissed from the service. A rumour prevailed that a partial change of Ministry was about to take place, and that the ex-editor and ex-Minister GONZALES BRAVO would be appointed to the Foreign-office. The Three per Cents. were done at Madrid on the 22d instant, at 27 9-16 for cash, and 271 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 191 for cash, and 19/ at 60 days ; and the Floating Debt at 601 at 60 days. The intelligence from Paris is still of a very grave character, and many persons begin to look forward seriously to a war between England and France. The KING, it is understood, has relinquished his in tention of visiting England this year. This, with other symptoms of alienation between the two Courts, as well as a large proportion of the people, has caused another fall in the French funds. On Wednesday the Three per Cents. closed at 79f. 80c., and the Fives at 119 f. 75c. Great excitement, it would ap pear, prevails among the National Guards of Paris. "Last evening," says the Constitutionnel of Wednes day, " there was a grand banquet in the saloon of the Opera, given by the National Guard to the officers of the garrison who directed the school of in struction and manoeuvres of the capital. All round the room the walls were dressed out with tri-coloured flags and trophies bearing cyphers of all the legions of Paris and the banlieue. At this fete the officers of the troops of the line, the delegates of all the le gions, as well as all the staff of the National Guards, sat mingled together. The Prefect of the Seine and the Prefect of Police were amongst the number of the guests. The table was laid for 122 persons. Pieces of music, executed by the troops of the line and the National Guard in turn, were heard during the, re past. Great applause was given to the famous song in the opera of Charles : Guerre aux tyrans, jamais en France, Jamais l'Anglais ne regnera!' The National Guard would not allow the opportunity to escape of manifesting its sentiments. After having applauded the song, it drank toasts in honour of the Prince de JOINVILLE and his seamen, as well as of our brave army in Africa." The National gives some additional particulars of a still more warlike cha racter, though we are glad to find that the superior officers did not approve of the proceedings " The National Guard," according to that journal, " took advantage of this meeting to manifest its pa triotic sentiments in loudly applauding, by enthusi astic toasts, the success of the French army and navy in Morocco. We learned last evening that a parting toast was to be given by an officer to the French navy—the Tangiers squadron, and its com mander. In the developments of this toast a very energetic reply was being made, we understand, to the abuse lavished on our officers and our flag by the English. The friends of England got afraid, it would seem, that the expression of such sentiments might trouble the entente cordiale, and by means of a long roll of the drums they prevented the toast from being given. This ridiculous and brutal pro ceeding producedii certain disturbance in the meet ing, which btoke up with murmurs. To-morrow we shall probably be able to give details about this scene, which is far from doing honour to certain persons be longing to the Staff." The Government journals seem to infer that the two Cabinets will come to an understanding respect ing the Otaheite affair, though we cannot see on what ground. However, we publish an article on the subject, in the Ministerial paper, the Globe, and leave our readers to judge for themselves. The following appears in that journal of Wednesday : " There has not yet been, as we have already declared, any note addressed to the King's Government by the British Cabinet on the affair of Otalseite. All the re ports with respect to the presenting of an ultimatum on this subject are destitute of foundation. Nevertheless, it is to be presumed that the question will soon be brought forward and answered. We trust that it will be arr.inged, and in such a way as to insure the main tenance of a poi understanding, not only between the two nations, but between the two Cabinets. We have already declared that the question itself, reduced to its true proportions, would not have required more than one quarter of an hour's conversation to be set at rest. Properly speaking, it was not a question, and it only became one by the language, now to be regretted, of Sir Robert Peel in Parliament, and by the excitement of an Ignorant and passionate press. With a precipitation which he has no doubt regretted, the First Lord of the Treasury gave to the affair a certain importance, as far as regards him, and he has almost pledged himself morally to obtain satisfaction from France. The French Cabi net will do all that good sense and equity command, not only to nations, but to individuals. A British subject excited disturbances in our territory,— FRANCE AND ENGLAND.—At an early hou r th is morning was good auth or ity, th a t an important crisis has now we were informed, on what we were assured arrived in the relations between England and France. According to our inforniant, the receipt of the intelli gence from Mogadore on Tuesday night was imme diately. followed by the dispatch of a special courier to Paris, as the bearer of a communication from Lord Aberdeen to M. Guizot. His Lordsh.p is said to have demanded the immediate evacuation of the island of Mogadore by the forces under his Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville, and to have intimated that, in the event of a refusal to withdraw the French troops, measures would forthwith be taken, in con formity with the e s t a bli s hed usage in similar circum stances. The deep interest involved in this statement makes us regr e t th a t, a t th e period at which we write, itis not possible for us, of our own knowledge, t o affirm or deny the truth of it.—Post of yesterday. we seized and expelled him. We evidently had this right ; nobody will contest it, not even England. Satis faction, therefere, on this point cannot be demanded, ea- A letter from Stockholm states that the coronation of the King and Queen of Sweden is to take place about the middle of next mouth. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. FRANCE AND MOROCCO. Report of the Prince de Joinville to the Minister of Marine, on board the Steamer Pluto, Aug 10. _ _ M. LE MINISTRE—Not having time to give you an account by the last courier of the state of our affairs, in detail, as well as of our operations before Tan giers, I take advantage of the first moment of lei sure to fulfil this duty. I informed you that on the 2d August, the day fixed for the reply to the ultimatum of our Consul- General, nothing reached us. I waited then for news of Mr. Hay, before com mitting hostile acts. On the 4th a letter of Sidi Bousselam Paella, of Larache, was sent as more measured, more concilia tory, than precedent ones; it renewed, nevertheless, the insolent demand of the punishment of the Mar shal. The letter of Sidi Bousselam said not a word of the dislocation of the corps of troops collected near Ouchda. As to Abd-el-Kader, Sidi Bousselam asserted that he was no longer on the Morocco terri tory, and that orders had been given to prevent his returning to it. Nevertheless, the Marshal learned at the same time that Abd-el-Kader had gone into the interior of Morocco. Tnese accounts had but one object, to trifle with us. Annoyed at learning nothing of Mr. Hay, I sent the Veloce steamer to inquire and bring news of him. The Yeloce came back on the sth to Tangiers bringing me word that Mr. Hay was in safety al Mogadore. In fine, on the evening of the sth, the Olna, coming from Oran, brought me your dispatch of the 27th, ordering me to commence hostilities, if the answer to the ultimatum was not satisfactory. It brought us news, also, of the Marshal proving the falsity of the assertions of the Moors respecting Abd el-Kader. Hesitation was no longer possible. We were amused with deceitful messages while they were pre paring war ; and we were thus obliged to have re course to arms. On the morning of the 6th I attacked the batteries of Tangiers. My instructions were to destroy the exterior fortification, but to respect the town. I could easily have attained this aim by disembark ing ; but I preferred employing cannon, and render. ing the batteries useless, whilst respecting the quar ters of the Consuls, which but five or six stray bullets reached. We attained this result with the loss of three dead and sixteen wounded, the ships receiving very slight injury. The enemy confesses a loss of 150 dead and 400 wounded ; but it is impossible to ascertain the num ber of dead, since they were only drawing them from under the ruins on the Bth. During the engagement, Mr. Hay arrived from Rabal, where he had stopped -to see the Emper o r. I _ _ received him the next day. He told me he found the Emperor much depressed. The news of the retire ment of the Consuls had reached him. Mr. Hay thanked me for the solicitude I had shown with re spect to him. I now proceed to Mogadore, at the other extremity of the empire. Mogadore is the private property of the Emperor. The town itself, as well as the public revenue, is his property. He lets the houses and the ground. It is, in a word, one of the principal sources of his revenue. To attack that,city, to destroy it, or to occupy the island that forms the port, until we obtain satisfaction, is to give the most sensible blow to Muley Abderrahman and all the south of his empire. I shall limit myself for the moment to these two operations in order to prove to the Emperor that he is deserted by all the world. The affair of Tangiers has sufficiently proved that, and that we have the means of doing him serious injury (which we shall try to prove at Moy adore). Moreover, our presence on the coast will recal the Moors from the frontier to the defence of their homes, and will thus facilitate the Marshal's operations. We can then warn the Emperor, that in spite of what has passed, we still desire peace, and that what we have done at Tangiers and Mogadore will prove that he must not trifle with us. If he wishes for peace, let him hasten to grant us what we demand, and let acts follow words. If not, if he is not con tented, and if he continues to receive and encourage our enemies on the frontier, he must expect extremi ties from us. A later dispatch of the Prince de Joinville con thins the following particulars :—Our loss in the day was fourteen killed and sixty-four wounded, including one officer. The island taken, it only remained to us to destroy the batteries of the town, which lie oppo site the harbour. Our cannon had already damaged them, but it was necessary to make them completely unfit for service. Yesterday, when under the cross fire of three steamers and two brigs, 500 men were disembarked; they met with no resistance; we spiked the guns and threw some of them into the sea. We carried away some of them, the powder magazines were swamped; in fine, we carried off or sunk all the vessels which were lying in the harbour. I believe that we could at that time have penetrated into the interior of the town without danger, but it would have been only a promenade without an object or without other result than useless pillage. I therefore abstained, and brought back the troops to the island, and the crews on board the ships. I am busy establishing on the island a garrison of 500 men. The occupation of the island without the blockade of the port would be but half a measure. I therefore follow your orders, in closing the port of Mogadore. The town at this moment is on fire, pillaged by the Arabs, who have taken possession, after having driven out the Imperial garrison. The English Consul, his family, and some Europeans, have just come to us. FRANCOIS DE ORLEANS. Mogadore, Aug. 17. PARIS, AUG. 29.—At Tortoni's in the evening the funds opened at 80f. 35c., but soon afterwards they fell to 80f. 20c., at which they closed. AMERICAN NEWS (EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.) LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING, 4 A.M. By the arrival of the Boston and Halifax Royal Mail steam-ship Caledonia, Captain Lott, at this port last night, at ten o'clock, advices are received from New York to the 15th inst. inclusive, Boston 16th, and Halifax 18th. The Caledonia brings 45 passengers, and though she has experienced head-winds all the passage, has made a very fair run. The Britannia, which took out the mails 4th August, arrived at Halifax on the 17th, the day preceding the departure of the Caledonia. The papers by this arrival appear to be exceedingly barren ; in fact, there may be said to be no news except commercial, and even that presents no feature of interest. KEY WEST, JULY 17, 1844.—About the 22d inst. the French ship Louis XIV, Jugefils, master, ran upon the Florida Reef, just this side of Indian Key. She was from New Orleans, and had in 2,030 b ales cotton, 13 hhds. to bacco, 600 bag s coffee, and 50 t ons l ea d . About one-half the cargo has been brought into this port by our wreckers and stored in the fire-proof warehouse of F. A. Browne. The remainder is on board the ship, which is now within sight, coming into port. It is said that the cargo is not injured, nor the ship very materially, because running on the reef before a strong wind and sea, she was forced so far out of water that she could not pound. On Sunday, the 21st inst., the schooner Select, Capt. Lewis, of and from New Orleans, bound for Barbadoes, with provisions, ran upon the reef and bilged. Her cargo and materials have been saved by the wreckers and brought to this port. Upon the case of the cotton ship Rothschild there has been an arbitration, and the arbitrators have agreed to give the wreckers one-third of ship and cargo. But they have not made their award in form, because they do not agre e upon t h e details. The wre ckers are dissa tisfied, and allege that only two out of some seven or eight ever consented to arbitrate at all. Whether the award will be finally ratified is uncertain. The ship is ready to receive her cargo, or the balance, as the case may be, and proceed on her voyage, she having been temporarily repaired. JULY 3 0.—The Louis XIV. has arrived, and is con- signed to F. A. Browne. She leaks considerably, and the tobacco is damag ed with salt water. A diver h as , been und er h er, and found her false keel gone in places, and her copper and planking somewhat chafed. A board of survey has ordered her to be hove out for ex amination. YELLOW FEVER IN NEW ORLEANS.—The New Orleans Picayune of the 2d inst. says:—" So far as we can learn, two fatal cases of the yellow fever have occurred in our city, but both persons contracted the disease in Vera Cruz. Several physicians with whom we have conversed inform us that they have met with no cases in their private practice, and as yet the Charity Hospital is free of the disease." GRF,AT POSTAGE BLEETINQ AT LOCIIPOBT.--PUblic dissatisfaction is universally expressed along the lines of communication traversed by the expresses; relative to the recent interruption to the progress of the letter car riers, made by the railroad conductors in obedience to the orders of the Postmaster-General. The strong and deep sense of injury which pervades the pub lic mind, in consequence of this odious interfer ence on the part of the Government with the rights of individuals, is beginning to make itself heard in public meetings composed of citizens of all parties. So unani mous is the sentiment in reprobation of the proceedings of the Postmaster-General, who, in contempt of the well considered decisions of the Federal Courts, assumes to execute the laws in accordance with his owa interpreta tion of their requirements, that not a single voice is raised in advocacy of his course.

Henderson, in Hous ton county, via Central Railroad. We have seen a sample of this cotton—the colour is rich and staple good—quality good fair. Last year the first bale reached this city on the 21st of August, from the plantation of the same gentleman. In 1842, the first bale was recived on the 10th of August, being 17 days earlier than the receipt of the first bale in 1841. —Savannah Geo., Aug. 1. (Correspondent of the New York Herald.) MATANZAS, JULY 22,1844.—Business is very slack at present; there is no molasses in the country, and when we arrived here the people were almost in a state of starvation. There had been no rain on the island for a number of months, and everything was perishing with heat. Our cargo consisted of pro visions, and it sold for double the cost; and other vessels, arrived since with provisions, have met with the same success. There has been some rain since we have been here. It is very healthy. The insur rection among the slaves is quelled, and the people are again quiet, but no one ventures to walk the streets at night without being well armed. Audubon, the distinguished ornithologist, arrived in Buffalo on the sth August, with a large number of specimens. SEASON IN CANADA.—The weather in Quebec is discouraging, particularly in respect to the hay crop. It has rained more or less every day this week. We have been expecting a favourable change with every new and full moon ; perhaps we may have it with the new moon on the 13th inst.—Quebec Gazette, 9th inst. ATLANTIC STEAM-SHIPS.—THE AMERICAN PROJECT —A NEW YORK LINE.—The project started by a few American gentlemen, to establish a line of Atlantic steam-ships, seems to increase in public favour every day. We are glad that the subject is becoming a popular one, for it is necessary for us, as a nation, to keep pace with England and France in maintaining the supremacy of the seas.—New York Herald, Aug. 15. THE LAST ONE.—The last surviving drummer at the battle of Bunker Hill, now resides at Hartcord Susquehanna county, in this State. His name is Rufus Kingsley, and the old veteran enjoys perfect health and good spirits.— New York Herald. STEAM -BOAT DISASTER.—The following particulars concerning the destruction of the steam-boat Marietta, on her passage up the Arkansas river, which took place on the morning of the 25th ult., near eight o'clock, we copy from the Little Rock Times :—The Marietta was preparing to pass a swift place in the cut o ff a t Mr. Marshall's plantation, thirteen miles below Pine Bluffs, which she had tried once and failed; and just as she was leaving the shore, having heated the boilers (which contained but a little water) to the highest degree, she collapsed a flue, scat tering destruction apparently throughout deck and cabin. She then drifted down a few hundred yards, struck a snag, an I sunk in seven or eight f?et water, some of the passengers in the meantime leaping over board and swimming ashore. There were about sixty or seventy persons on board, ten or fifteen of whom were badly scalded or burned with steam. Jude Paschall, of Van Buren, Ark., was among the number of the unfortunates, though it is thought that he will recover. Those who remained on board ascended the hurricane deck, and were conveyed to the shore in yawls and flatboats ; the most of the trunks and baggage in the cabin were saved, and some of the freight on the boiler deck ; but the most of the latter, and all that was in the hull, was either lost or badly injured. Our informant states that it pre sented a spectacle of no ordinary character. Mothers screaming for their children and leaping overboard with them in their arms—husbands calling for their wives, and children for their parents. (From the Philadekhia Gazette.) TERRIBLE STEA M - BOAT EXPLOSION.—A terrible accident happened, Aug. 7, on the Delaware, nearly opposite Market-street, to the new steam-boat Portsmouth, Captain James Devoe. The Ports mouth had started from Arch-street wharf at half past eight o'clock, with between forty and fifty pas sengers, on an excursion to the Bay, Breakwater, &c., and after getting fairly under weigh, and when the engine had performed some eighteen or twenty revolutions, the stay bolt of the inner part of the steam chimney near the top of the boiler, drew out, carrying with it a portion of the iron, and dis • charging the steam and hot water through the flues and furnace doors, into the engine and fire rooms, and through the steam chim ney out of the smoke pipe to the distance of some seventy feet, and also through the deck. The second engineer, Edward Stevens, of New York, and an elderly passenger, belonging to New Castle, Del., who was in the engine-room, named Thomas Massey, were both dreadfully scalded from head to foot, and neither, it is feared, can survive. The fast engineer, Isaac Ames, of New York, was covered with ashes blown out from the fires, and could scarcely be recognised. He was scalded, though not so badly as the others. G. Jackson, black cook, of New York, who was sitting near the fire-room door, was severely scalded on the hands and arms. Mr. Stevens, the second engineer, while his clothes were full of steam, and his sufferings had almost phrensied him, begged to be thrown overboard. His request not being complied with, he threw himself into the river and caught to the tiller, where he clung and was saved by a boat. His idea was to cool himself, but the act—the impulse of the moment to obtain relief of his agonies —was desperate, and has, doubtl ess , a dd e d to t h e f atal cha racter of his injuries. The wounded persons are all at the Pennsylvania Hospital, and are receiving every , possible attention, medical and otherwise. The pas sengers were most all aft at the time of the accident, and escaped. Some few were forward, but none of these, as far as has been ascertained, were injured. If any were hurt their injuries were slight. MORMON A FFAIRS.—It appears that troubles among the Mormons and others are still anticipated. Mrs. Emma Smith, the widow of the late prophet, came down as far as Quincy, on board the steamer Osprey ; on the last trip of the lone, the widow of Hiram Smith also visited Quincy. The objects of these visits is said to be to induce the civil authorities to do something towards arresting some of the persons con cerned in the murder of their husbands. The Nauvoo Neighbor still upholds the absurdities of Mormonism as a true system of religion, and we suppose this is because that paper is under the control of the priesthood and leaders, who expect to retain their greatness by retaining their system of priest craft. This is a usual occurrence among bigots and fanatics, who expect to rule the common people by means of superstition. CAMP MEETINGS.—The season for camp meetings has set in. The young men and maidens are frolick ing in the pleasant groves of this glorious land, and the Father Millers are thrusting in their sickles into the harvest of folly, fanaticism, and coppers.—New York Herald. FROM CAPE HATTlEL—Captain Hardy, of the brig Souther, at this port, last evening, frotn Cape Haytien, which place he left Ist inst., states that the Government is in a very unsettled state. Thtl Spa nish port of that island is continually in a state of rebellion against the Government, and at war amongst themselves. A few days previous to the de parture of the Souther from the Cape, the Danish brig Lucy arrived from Port au Platt, with one hundred of the inhabitants of that place, they having been obliged to leave on account of the disturbances. There was an army collect ing at the Cape to march into the Spanish part of :be island. The President intended to make a to; through the island, and was fully expected at the' Alt to the different towns Cape. It is thought his vi will have a tendency to stop the disturbances which daily occur in all parts of the island. Owing to the revolution, the co fee crop has been very much ne glected, and the article 'gas become very scarce and high. It was 'worth 14 dolls. 25 c. Haytien money.
