LONDON, THURSDAY, sErrEMBER 5, 1844 JUSTICE TO IRELAND. We have been agreeably disappointed—and every friend of Ireland will be agreeably disappointed—by the decisions of Lord DENMAN, Lord COTTENHAM, and Lord CAMPBELL, in the case of the QUEEN V. DANIEL O'CONNELL and others. These three law Peers decided the question. We foolishly thought— and many of the lay Peers were of the same opinion —that it was a question for the decision of the whole House. Even the LORD CHANCELLOR was impressed with the same conviction. He did not clear the House of the lay Peers when he put the question ; he evidently expected that they would be allowed to vote—and some of them actually did vot( but their voices were hushed by the President of 'the Council. He justly remarked that those Lords who had not heard the discussion on the wilt of error, and those who were not law Lords, of course, being incompetent to decide on a point of law, should not be allowed to vote. Tb;s met with general approbation, and all the Peers retired except five. These were the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord BROUGHAM, Lord COTTENHAM, Lord DENMAN, end Lord CAMPBELL. When the battle was confined to this small army, there could be no doubt as to the victory. Lord BROUGHAM stood alone for confirming the judgment of the Irish Bench, and he was happily overpowered by three of the best lawyers that has adorned the English Bar. They had, as became their station, duly weighed the opinions of the judges, but they found, as every man who has read the details of this monstrous and anomalous prosecution has found; that the points for the decision of the judges, drawn up at the instigation of the LORD CHANCELLOR, diet not involve the real—the main merits—of the case, and, lik e honest men, they formed a judgment for them selves. They threw overboard Chief Justice TINDAL and his colleagues. We make this remark without "Y disparagenaent of the imperturbable, consci entious, and virtuous Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. He had only cetrtain law questions to anawer. He answered them honestly; but the real judges had more latitude ; they were bound to take into con sideration the whole merits of the case. They cared nothing for Lord LYNDHURST or Lord BROUGHAM, Or the underlings who drew up the questions for the considergtion of the judges ; they d ec id ed according to their consciences, and declared that Mr. O'C oN . NELL and his compatriots had been unjustly con demned. What a picture of English justice! These men, one of them the first orator, statesman, an d lawyer of his native land, the greatest bene factor of Ireland, the consummator of the Catholic Emancipation Bill, and the mainstay of the Reform Bill, have now been imprisoned for three months, contrary to all law, contrary to justice and equity; and yet, in this land of boasted freedom, they 'have no redress. Lord CAMPBELL moved the intro duction of a Bill to remove the anomaly, but the Peers raised their voices against It, because, they said, it was - brought forward for party purposes. It was brought forward for justice; arid the result has shown that Lord CAMPBELL was right. Never was such an ignominy stamped OR the laws of a country. Can we blame foreigners for scoffing at us ? The Judges of Ireland had come to cei ta;rl decisions. The Judges of England have reversed some of these decisions. The House of Peers have decided against both, and three men, all, we are happy to say, of the Liberal party, have asserted the honour of the country, taken an unbiassed view of the ques tion, and done justice to Ireland. Why were there not four Liberal law Peers ? What became of Lord LANGDALE ? He was BS fit as Lord COTTENHAM or Lord BROUGUAM to deliberate on the question which involves the most important interests of the empire. He is well paid for his scanty labour. He was promoted by the liberal party to his present position—he, in fact, owed his elevation to the politics of Mr. O'CONNELL—to the determined support of the Irish to the Whig Government; yet he is lurking in some corner when he should be in the battle array, de fending the interests of his party. We fear the old Whigs are doomed to destruction. Many of them have become renegades. The most conspicuous of all we will not name, because it would be a work of supererogation. But, thank GOD, we have honest men among the modern Whigs. Lord DENMAN deserves the highest honour for his speech on the writ of error. Lord CAMPBELL has never swerved from his honourable character, and, at the conclusion of his speech, he said, in the true spirit of liberty, the appeal was not from the Irish to the English judges, but to that Chamber, in the exercise of one of its most important functions, which he hoped their Lordships would long exercise for the benefit of the country and the protection of its liberties. They have exer cised one of its most important functions, and to their honour, notwithstanding all the tricks of renegades, have done justice to Ireland. We believe there is no inhabitant of the United Empire that rejoices more at this happy result than our beloved QUEEN. Her affections towards Ireland are well known. From her infancy she has mingled with many of the people of that country; she knows that none welcomed her accession to the throne more than Mr. O'CONNELL, and that no subject has testified more loyalty to her person than the man who has been imprisoned unjustly for three months. Royalty has duties as well as rights. Her MAJESTY, it is said, is about to visit Scotland a second time. Why should she not now change her plan, and visit the sister island ? She would be welcomed by a generous, a kind, a forgiving, and a brave people, with enthusiasm ; and Mr. O'CONNELL, the arch-conspirator, would be the first to we.'come her to a country that she loves so well. A Correspondent in the Morning Herald, who dates from Exeter, states that he is credibly informed "that notices of objection to the registration of three hundred and twenty-four Conservatives have been served in one parish alone in that city, by the hired agents of the Anti-Corn-law League; that it is re ported that in Exeter altogether about a thousand notices have been thus served, the delivery of which was made last Sunday; and that the League have also sent in claims as well as objections ; and that it is believed that their money has been employed in pay ing up the rates of parties who were in arrear." Our Contemporary's Correspondent adds, as his deliberate opinion, that similar proceedings have taken place generally throughout the country, as the Chairman observed at the last Covent-garden meeting that Com mittees for such purposes had been formed in a hun dred and forty places; and winds up his budget of grievances by the following touching reflection : " Surely it is time for all honest men to unite for the suppression of such an atrocious combination as that of the League, in whose hands the Reform Act may be made an engine of the most odious tyranny that, perhaps,, England __ever _grpp.ned under:' GranAtn , H the proceedings of the Anti-Corn-law League is true—and we most sincerely hope it is—then we say that the course they are adopting is not only justified, but imperatively called for, by circumstances. But were it not so, still it is not for a Tory to ob ject to their policy, for in paying attention to the register, they are only following the advice given to his party by Sir ROBERT PEEL—in fact, taking a leaf out of the Premier's own book. " Attend to the register," said the Right Hon. Baronet to the Con servatives in his most impressive manner, " for it is in the Registration Courts that the battle of the Con stitution must be fought." Well, the League follows this advice, looks sharply after the register, with a view to see that no improper persons are allowed to appear on it, and that those only shall vote who are authorised to give a vote. But this, it seems, is an act of " odious tyranny" on the part of the Anti- Corn-law League If so, it is a tyranny recom mended by Sir Roaaar PEEL himself, and cannot, therefore, with any show of consistency, be con demned by a Conservative. Can that be an uncon stitutional act in a free-trader which, when resorted to by a monopolist, is an act of constitutional necessity? Can it be right in a Conservative to adopt the counsel of the Premier, and wrong in a Liberal to follow the suggestions of the same high authority? Is there one law of right for this party, and another for that? The bare supposition of such a thing is a most preposterous absurdity. The truth is, the Tories—or Conservatives as they prefer calling themselves are notoriously in tolerant of every species of interference but that which they themselves originate, and carry out into practice. When they interfere with the register, then all is perfectly just and constitutional ; but when the free-traders, following in their footsteps, presume to take the same liberty, then the act becomes one of "odious tyranny," which all good men and good citizens are bound to visit with their severest repro bation! However it may be with the Tories, the community at large will not understand these nice distinctions, but will give the Anti-Corn-law League credit for the just and patriotic spirit that prompts them in their endeavours to reform the register, and for the steady determination with which they follow up this important branch of their public duty. Abundant mischief has already been done by the Tory party in their vexatious interference with the register, and it is now high time that the League should step bodly forth to prevent the perpetration of further mischief, and open men's eyes to the real state of the case. We, therefore, earnestly conjure the members of this great national confederacy to per severe in their patriotic and every way constitutional purpose. We conjure them to watch the register with the most active vigilance, and to treat the clamour - of the Tory faction with the cool, con temptuous indifference, to which such an interested outcry is entitled. "Attend to the register!" was the advice of Sir ROBERT PEEL to his party. "Attend to the register !" is our advice to the Anti- Corn-law League. This is one of their chief instru ments of success. It has already answered well in the hands of the Tories, and in the hands of the free-traders it is calculated, if worked in a straight forward, energetic spirit, to be of inestimable benefit to the good cause. The very outcry of the mono polists is the best testimony to its efficiency ! On a dispassionate review of all the circumstances connected with the so-called adjustment of the mis understanding between France and England on the Otaheite question, we are compelled to admit that we are by no means satisfied with the nature or the amount of the concessions by the French Govern ment, to the demand we have made of satisfaction for " a gross outrage," committed by its servants, on the personal rights, and the public authority of a British Consul. There is nothing in all the special pleading of the French journals—nothing in the laboured explanations contributed by some of our own daily Contemporaries —that has yet explained away either the brutality and insolence of the French officers, or vindicated, from the impudent slight which they have put upon it, the honour of our flag, and the dignity of our SOVEREIGN, disparaged in , the imprisonment of her Consular Representative. With all our ardent love of peace, we consider that - its blessings may be purchased, on too exorbitant terms; and the worthlessness of the cause of guar , - ness of the scene o f act i on—the rel—the remote THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNINS, SEPTEMBER 5, 1844 semi-barbarism of the party whom we had inter fered to rescue from an unmanly and disgraceful aggression—these are elements that do not at all ne cessarily extend into the consideration of a subsequent affront to our national honour. The Morning Herald finds no more striking anology to illustrate its notion of the absurdity of England and France beink betrayed into a rupture about so worthless a matter, than "two Patagonians, fighting for a sea-calf, claiming each of them the belligerent support of eitiserpower." Whether, in this lively figure, Queen PaIIARN or Mr. Consul PRITCHARD is to be taken for the type of a sea-calf, as many a profound writer i s every day for that of a land-calf, we do not under stand ; but it is a figure quite inapplicable, unless it could be shown that the misunderstanding between England and France are about the property or possess sion of Otaheite itself. Diplomatic functions and relations might have been equally violated on the high seas—in the Consular-office—at a public festival— even in a public theatre. Is the Herald prepared to say there has been no violation of them in Mr. PRITCHARD'S case ? Sir ROB UT PENL has:declared the conduct of the French authorities to have amounted to a " gross outrage." Is the simple cen sure or suspension of D'AUDIGNY or BRUAT to be taken as an acquittance in full for, first, the imprison ment, and secondly, the expulsion of Mr. PRITCHARD? This facility on our part will vastly enhance the im portance and influence of our consular agents in times to come ! But, perhaps France is disposed to make us amends by signalizing her forbearance and respect in other quarters. We have old-standing relations of amity and good-will with the Emperor of MOROCCO. She invades his territories from her Algerine frontier, under the pretext of their having afforded an asylum to a very gallant native chieftain, who had long suc cessfully resisted her occupation of Algeria, and se verely chastised the French forces which had pushed far and wide their campaign of wanton desolation and extirpation, by fire and sword, over an independent country of Africa. That country France had so lemnly pledged herself, in the face of all Europe, not to occupy. That pledge she subsequently falsified, with a degree of political effrontery almost un matched in the history of her monarchy. Was the _Emperor of Moaocco—still an independent SOVE.• REIGN—to refuse the asylum of his dominions to the valiant ADD-EL-KADER ? The French insist on satisfaction for his harbouring that chieftain, com plain that he is in communication with him, and de mand his expulsion from the empire. In the course of the events which rapidly ensue on the occupation of Ouchda, they bombard Tangiers, and inflict the same punishment on Mogadore. With both Tangiers and Mogadore we had. commercial relations ; exten sive ones with the latter. The bombardment is inflicted in the presence of a fractional representation of the British navy, with circumstances of very sig nificant application ; and our fractional force, acting under orders, looks idly on at these vain but destruc tive demonstrations of European artillery, on the towns and fortresses of our African ally. Instantly L ','se press ofFrance—Monarchical, Republican, Move ment z narty, one and all—teems with insulting sarcasms at our p •tie t passiveness; with fierce gasconades about the co.7ling hour of French naval su premacy, and undisguised clamours for a war with England, on the avowed ground of our weakness and deficient, 7 in that naval arm which was once the terror of the wo;. l d. The National, in its overboiling zeal, commits, to faC sure, the ludi crous error of treating four of our ne;"est and most formidable line-of-battle ships, which have not yet been out of harbour, 4 but are " advance ships and ready for sea," as " old hulks, formidable only in the names of Trafalgar, Waterloo, Le Foudroys ant, Vengeance." But the animus of all this is plain enough. Our neighbours draw their own moral from the unaccustomed and undignified spectacle our Mediterranean unity squadron has lately presented. Let us not imitate them by seeking consolation in vain words. Ridiculous as their vaunting may be there is too much of truth in their depreciating esti mate of our naval force. Not the Mediterranean or Levant squadron alone, whether cruising in that sea, or running down the western or Atlantic coast of the line, in com -- rn s- i lass:f a pmfk . ie_n_t , force of ships . )f . . inexcusably reduced, and utterly disproportionate to the exigencies of the present crisis. Ships of the line (not hulks, as the National supposes, but the best built and found in the world) we have in abundance; but of such ships in commission, of the higher classes we have but six or seven in all the waters of Europe including the Formidable, 80, (Mediterranean), and Albion, 90 (Coast of Morocco). When the Whigs quitted office, and Tangiers was not even threatened, nor Mogadore touched, we had in the Mediteranean alone 17 sail of the line. How can Sir R. PEEL justify to the country such a diminished scale of force at such a moment as this ? Sir GEORGE Cocxnuarr and Mr. S. 'harlots' are, no doubt, ac cording to custom, prepared to prose about the first fate stores, the unrivalled materiel we possess, and the stock of which is always accumulating. To what purpose, if they are not appropriated to the equipment of an ample navy ? Why, to be sold periodically, at a ruinous loss to the country, as old stores—perhaps for re-sale, by private buyers, to agents of the French Government. But what has this stock of stores and material to do with the ques tion of manning the navy ? We have, as we have said, ships enough ; but the seamen, wherewith to man them, our puerile policy and Admiralty mismanagement have paid off and scattered over every quarter of the globe, or have not retained, in sufficient numbers out of each paid-off ship's company, to form a nucleus of able seamen for the due preparation and forming of the new hands and landsmen, supposing we could secure these, without resort to impressment, in sufficient numbers, in any resonable period. But the truth is, for the considera tions we have urged in tw•o or three former articles on this all-important subject, we must, without a day's unnecessary delay, increase our inducements to new as well as to old hands to enter the service, in proportion to the exigencies of that service. Will any one deny the serious character of these exigencies ? Are we to commit ourselves to an im plicit reliance upon the declarations by France of her intentions •' not to occupy" in this :war against Morocco ? If you set no value on the paramount influence you have possessed in the Mediterranean during the last century—if it be no longer an object to secure fresh supplies for your fortress at Gibraltar from the nearest ports of Africa—if you would not wish to let France establish a line of military pos. session from Oran to the furthest point to which she can advance her posts within the Mediterranean, so as to bring her a little nearer to Malta :—continue to slumber over the peril in which the inertness and old womanish do-nothing fussiness of the present Go. vernment has involved you, by permitting this rapid decline in our naval strength. If, on the other hand, we are still alive to the indispensable duty of maintaining, in all its force, respectability, and power of instant exten sion, that establishment, by which alone we have been raised to the supreme rank we occupy among the nations—let us hope that her MAJESTY'S forth- coming Speech may contain some indications of a better state of things at hand. If the Go vernmen t will not so act from a sense of duty, - or a just under.. standing of its responsibilities, let public attention compel it to abandon the vain and expensive folly of maintaining an army of more than 100,000 men, which we ought never to regard as a force, but in the light of a subsidiary and auxiliary to our navy, and appropriate to the expansion, improvement, and efficiency of this latter, some of the million■ now an nually lavished on maintaining at a war standard, that which (with all respect for its achievements) we shall still regard as chiefly kept up to be a nursery and school for aristocratic patronage, and the support of it; scions. We hare accounts from Madrid to the 27th of August. NARVAEZ was concentrating large bodies of troops around the capital, as if some great com motion was about to break forth, but solely, we be lieve, to overawe the friends of liberty. Many arrests had taken place within a few days. According to some of the journals, the Moors, on learning that the French had occupied the island of Mogadore, had set fire to the town. The following letter from Cadiz, of the 22d August, appears in the Tiempo "It is said that the Moors have set fire to Mogadore, which place has been nearly destroyed. There is nothing astonishing in this, seeing that the island which touches lilogadore has beau occupied. A French steamer, which came in to-day, has brought two hundred Moorish pri soners. The nuthoriti's are con3ulting on the point whether they are to be shut up in one of the forts of this place until they can be (onveyed elsewhere.:Yessterday a French steamer left thi: port, towing five merchantmen, laden with provisions fcr the squadron." MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA. had complied with the request of Queen CIIIIISTINA, and was expected to leave Paris in a few Gays. The elections were going on in favour of the Government. - • The Three per Celts. were done at 27 5-16 at sixty days ; the Five per Cents. at 19 for cash, and 20 at fifty days. We find nothing new in the Paris journals, but abundance of articles on the state of affairs in Morocco, and the probable intentions of France with respect to a settlement of differences with that coun try. Warlike opemtions are suspended for the season. The squadron under the Prince DE JOIN.. VILLE has been ordered back to Cadiz, and Marshal BuGEALTD will retire with his forces to Oran. " The scarcity of water," says a Toulon journal, " and great heat, do not permit of operations being continued ; the troops of the Oran division will alone remain on the frontier of Morocco ; those come from the other provinces will return to their respective divisions. This brilliant affair has completely demoralised the enemy. At the moment lam writing, the Moorish army has dissolved; the Marshal has, therefore, attained his object, for it must not be imagined that he, for a single moment, thought of marching to Fez with his nine or ten thousand men. The Govern ment orders were, besides, formal in that respect." The Journal des Debuts is apparently pacific ; but, somehow or other, there are occasional threats that France will pursue the course which she has adopted in Africa notwithstanding every opposition. Nothing is said in that paper respecting the conditions to be offered by the Duke DE GLITCSSDIII{GII to the EM PEROR, but the Presse asserts that, among others, France will demand an indemnity for the war, and pledges to assure its payment after peace. "It may occur," says that Court paper, for we believe it has pretensions to informntion from a high source, " it may occur that either in the course of the war with Morocco, if prolonged, or after peace, and to assure the indemnity, France may find herself obliged to oc cupy temporarily some point of the empire. The law of nations authorises her doing so; but this even tuality much disquiets the English press. It must, however, resolve to resign itself to such a step. France finds herself engaged in a most legitimate war with an independent power ; she enjoys all the privileges of the law of nations ; she cannot be called on to deprive herself of the means of action which the laws of war justify, and the use of which circum stances may , render necessary, to please the suscepti bilities, and still less to obey the orders of England. When justice shall have been rendered' her, she will evacuate Morocco, as she has engaged to do, and as her interest will counsel her ; but until then she will use the plenitude of her rights ; she will occupy the enemy's towns, if that should appear to her necessary; she will phvent, if requisite, the English froin carry • ing on a smuggling trade in warlike stores whilst the war lasts ; and, finally, she will demand an indem nity, and pledges to assure its payment, after the peace. In acting so, France will not injure the just rights of any one, and will remain faithful to all her engagements. No one will, therefore, have a right to find her conduct improper." If such are the conditions to be demanded of Mo rocco, a long period may elapse, and many towns be occupied, before peace is established. We are inclined, however, to take a different view of Louis Puiurrs's policy. He has in a great measure obtained his objects—the chastisement of the Moors and glory for his son ; and he will, therefore, be anxious to bring affairs to an amicable conclusion with the least pos sible delay. The Journal des Debuts thus adverts to the intentions of the Government : " France, we maintain, is making only a defensive war in Africa—a w!lr which she not only did not seek, but which she endeavoured to avoid, and is desirous of putting an end to as soon as it can be done with honour. If this war has not spread beyond its natural limits—if the echoes of the cannon of Mogadore have not disturbed the general peace, it is because Europe—because England knows, that the policy of France is not guided by hot headed bunglers. We know well that certain statesmen consider it to be a claim to glory to send defiance to a foreign power, and this is suited to a Government which wishes to act the savage among civilised nations ; but has no . s mbition for such a character. Four years ag, - • •• •_ w4"„.l : ranean without risking a _European war, but France now victoriously marches with her banners displayed along the coast of Africa, and by her own strength enforces respect to her insulted dignity and her outraged ho nour, and, at the same time, preserves the peace of the world and the confidence of her allies. The French Government participates in the pride which has been excited in the whole nation by the glory our arms have won in Africa, but it knows not how to convert its legitimate triumphs into insults towards a country which is an ally of France. It is against the Emperor of Mo rocco, and not against England, that we make war. We carry it on to maintain our national honour, to insure the integrity of our possessions, and not to gratify a p ass ion for cOnquescand realise projects of aggrandise ment which all France repudiates. These are our sen timents ; we declare the intentions and resolutions of France to be the same as those avowed by the Govern. ment ,in the . two Chambers, and which were received with unanimous approbation ; and this it is that excites the spleen of the Opposition journals. Where then is the evil ? Where is the humiliation ? Is it the truth, or is it not ? Is it a great State secret that we reveal ? Are the sittings of the Chambers held with closed doors ? Let the organs of the partisans of war, in England as well as in France, take advantage of these events to irri tate on both sides the national jealousies—it is their trade ; but we, who sincerely desire the maintenance of peace, and particularly a continuance of the friendly re lations between France and England, will persevere, however much we may scandalise the great statesmen of the Opposition, in using all our efforts to calm down the a l arms which the late occurrences on the coast of Africa must natur ally i tiy x and we shall do this the more freely, as the Government ofFrance not e e r th ea e e t r e l cisi es i s n n determined to persevere to the utmost)" exercising its rights." The in England ; j The National, the organ of the war party, looks upon the state of affairs in another light, and has little hopes that the late successes will bring the Moors to reason. " Out of the fulness of the heart the mouth speaketh." Peace with Morocco would be a heavy blow to the readers of the National, because it would for a while prevent France from humbling, and pro bably subduing England. One half of our ships are rotten hulks, we have no sailors to man them, and only a little energy on the part of Louis PHILIPPE is necessary to strike a fatal blow against the islanders. Our readers will be amused, not frightened we trust, by the insane boasting of this mischievous journal : " There is reason to conclude that if the English Government does not wish to have war, it wishes at least that it should be known that it is resolved and ready. llowever, to look at matters in their just point of view, we must not take literally this formidable enu meration of ships of the line and of cannons, which the English journals each day publish for the greater glory of Uld England, and for the terror of Young France. Under these formidable names of Trafalgar, Waterloo, Vengeance, Foudroyant, &c., are found old hulks but little formidable. The English Admiralty knows it well ; but like that audacious and clever robber, who having taken it into his head to stop a diligence by him self, placed alo ng th e roa d a dozen of stuffed figures armed with guns, it reckons up all the old ruins that former wars have left behind. We must not mistake the matter. Undoubtedly England is strong at sea, nay very strong ; a naval war between her and us would be for us a difficult and dangerous undertaking ; but her material superiority is not so considerable that she has not to foresee danger herself. Independently of the possibility of a landing on her coasts, she is right in being uneasy about the present state of our navy. If, in a numerical point of view, it leaves much to be desired, it must be borne in mind that England is obliged to keep up stations in all quarters of the world. For the reason that her line of occupation is immense, her defence is immense also, and it thence follows that we can select for our attack the point where she is most vulnerable, and direct all our forces there. During the first Italian'eampaign Bonaparte, with 25,000 or 30,000 men, was able by the rapidity of his movements to be everywhere stronger than the enemy. But nothing prevents our applying to naval war this system of con centrated attacks, which Bonaparte so gloriously inau gurated on land. He pointed out the plan, we have only to follow it, remembering that it is precisely from having scattered his naval forces that the conqueror of Arcole lost his navy. But, in order to be able to sustain this strug g l e , th ere i s one c ondition most essential—it is, not to all ow t h e diff erence of forces which separates us from England to become greater, and even to diminish it as rapidly as possible ; f o r if during the interval when England is a ugmen ti ng her forces we do not augment ours all would be lost, and England would only have to choose the moment when it would suit her to push us down to the modest position to which the hopes of her jealousy assign us." We find the following just remarks on the want of honesty in French journals in Galignane s Messenger:— " We have looked carefully over the Opposition jour nals to see what remarks they would make on the .etter communicated to the Constitutionnet by M. Blanqui, and in which justice is done to Mr. Hay, the British Consul- General in Morocco, and to his Government. We do not, however; find one word in the way of comment; and, what is more, only one of the Opposition journals has published th e l e tt er f rom th e C o nstitutionr el. The con fession of wilful or wanton misrepresentation is an effort of magnanimity but rarely witnessed in party journals, but we did not suppose that the spirit of party w in so strong as to exclude from the columns of so large a por tion of the press a piecs of news which from its import ance is entitled to a place, although it does give the lie to the charges of deception and intrigue which have been lavished on the British Consul." The subjoined are miscellaneous extracts from the papers : The Siecle, alluding to a report that the KING has abandoned the intention of going to England this year, say! : . . . "We knew that on Saturday a house in Paris, that furnishes certain articles necess try for the King's equip ages, was desired to expedite as much as possible some orders that have been given to it. His Majesty's journey depends upon the issue of the negotiations now in pro gress on the Otaheite affair. If the propositions of M. Guizot are accepted, the King will return the gracious visit made to him last year by Queen Victoria, but should they be refused, the journey will be postponed. Such is the opinion of persons generally well informed, and it appears to us to be too plausible not to be accepted as official." The Constitutionnel says:— "It appears that the Cabinet cannot agree on the re compense to be conferred on Marshal Bugeaud for the battle of Isly. Meanwhile it is announced that the King has dispatched to Africa M. de Chetfontaines, one of his orderly officers, with an autograph letter to the Marshal." A letter from an officer on board the French squadron off Magodare, dated the 17th ult., says : " We are to keep for a time possession of the island, the garrison of which is already formed, and the troops have begun to raise fortifications. We shall leave here the brigs of war Argus and Cassard, and a steam sloop. The other ships of the squadron are about to sail for Cadiz, to repair their damages; we hope afterwards to return to France. Our squadron, during the conflict, threw 16,000 projectiles into Mogadore. The Jemappes had her sides struck by more than thirty balls, and her rigging was much cut np. A ball passed; through the flag at the topmast head of the Triton." A correspondent at Tunis writes, on the 18th ult., t• the Semaphore of Marseilles : " We have now in the Goletta Admiral Parseval Deschene's division, consisting of the Ocean, Inflexible, Neptune, Marengo, and Alger, of the line. This force has been sent to meet the possibility of the Turkish squadron, which has left the Dardanelles, coming to Tunis, and putting into execution the designs against this Regency, which the Divan has not yet abandoned. But we doubt whether it will this year, any more than it did the last, make the attempt, and the French Government will be let off with keeping its ships some two or three months in this roadstead, until, in fact, it hears that the Turkish fleet has returned into the Dardanelles."

The ships which were to have conveyed them, sail immediately for their original destination with the baggage of these troops (about 2,000 strong). The regiments in India which they were intended to relieve, it is now.pretty certain are not, at present, to return to this country. We leave our readers to draw their own inferences from these facts ; but it would be idle to deny that they afford no prima facie en couragement to those mere pacific speculations in which one of our Contemporaries, yesterday, so emphatically indulged. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND publtr Optutott. " Who runs may read." YOZZION. We learn from Tilsit that the river Niemen has again become flooded, raising the level to 15 feet. On the 20th ult., the bridge of boats was broken. through by a large beam brought down by the torrent, so that all communication between the two banks was prevented. The railroad between Nuremburg and Bamberg, in Bavaria, was opened on the 25th ult. The train ran the 16 French leagues in 1 hour and 33 minutes. The Toulonnttis of the 29th ult., states that, since tit organisation of hospital- s t eamers f or t h e transport dIF sick soldiers from Algeria, the deaths during the passa have not been more than one in four hundred. From October 1839 to July 1 of the present year, 7,917 sipk were embarked for France, and of these only ninetettn died on the way. Nearly all the standards taken at the battle of Isly are of silk, richly embroidered with gold, and bearing sen tences from the Koran. One of them, which is of white ground, has the following inscription :—" There is no other God than God, and Mahomet is his prophet. If God pleases, the holy war must triumph." The parasol of the son of the Emperor is of red silk, worked with gold and siver. MAW AND POWCII. At the Mansion-house George Hey, the young man who was some days ago examined upon a variety of charges of embezzlement, :brought against him by Mc. Melville, of the house of Cruikshank, Melville, and Co., was brought up for re-examination before Mr. Alder man Wood. After a lengthened examination, the magistrate said he would remand the prisoner till Me depositious should be made out, and then commit him for trial. Henry Foulkes, the driver and proprietor of a Ken sington omnibus, and Matthew Balls, jun., driver, and said to be part proprietor, of a Brixton omnibus, was summoned by the police, before Mr. Hardwick, at Marl borough-street, for furious driving, whereby the lives of her Majesty's subjects had been endangered. The defendants pleaded Guilty, and were sentenced to hard labour for one month. The defendants, whose con nexions are very respectable, and who have up to the transactions referred to by the police, maintained the reputation of extremely civil and steady drivers, ap peared thunderstruck at the sentence. At Marylebone, John Blake, a youth about eighteen years of age, was charged with having stolen property of different descriptions to a large amount belonging to his uncle, Mr. John Dyke, Park-place, Paddington green. Mrs. Dyke quitted London six weeks ago with her husband, who was in ill health, and said that on their return they discovered that Blake, who had been left in charge of the house, had plundered the same of a vast deal of furniture, &c. The prisoner, who admitted his guilt, was fully committed for trial. At the Woolwich Police-court, six seamen, belonging to the ship Brant, of Dantzic, were next charged with secretine. 159 1 b5. of tobacco i n th e f orecast l e an d h o ld , by which they had made themselves liable each to pe nalties of 100/. The prisoners admitted that certain portions of it belonged to each of them. Mr. Grove, not having the power to mitigate in this case, sentenced them in fines amounting to 6001.; and, in default, to Kingston COVRT-PAINZOW.IIIII.III. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Here ditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg Stekts, were expected to honour Mrs. Lawrence with their com pany yest( rlay at Ealing Park, for the purpose of witness ing the performances of the loway Indians, who are en gaged for the occasion, and will take up their position on the lawn in front of the mansion. Th. Marquis' and Marchioness of 'Westminster AN, entertaining company at Moor Varic, near Itiakmaria worth ; the Earl and Countess of Antrim, Lord and Lady Prudhoe, Lord and Lady Parker, &c., are among the lisitants. The Marquis, who continues in improves health, will not proceed to Eaton Hall until the end of the month. The Earl of Albemarle will give his annual " harvest.. home" to his numerous labourers on the Quiddenhassi estate, on Wednesday next. Lord Bury, his Lordship's eldest son, is passing the season in the Isle of Wight. Lord and Lady Robert Grosvenor, and their youthful family, are expected to remain at Ryde until the close of the month, and then return to town en route to the Mar quis of Westminster's seat, Moor Park, Rickmansworth, for the autumn. Lord Dungannon has arrived at his seat, Brynknall, Denbighshire. Lady Dungannon and the Misses Irvine are passing the season at his Lordship's chateau at Honfleur. The Duke of Beaufort has left town for Ryele. The Duchess does not return to the Isle of Wight, but is expected to proceed to Badminton, on Thursday, for the season. 1 1 11 CISMILMAN1101711. By the statute of the 7th Victoria, cap. 35, which re ceived the royal assent on the 19th of July last, the making of lists, and ballots, and enrolments of the militia of the United Kingdom, is suspended until the first day of August, 1845. On Monday, being the anniversary of the great fire of London, the form of prayer appointed by Act of Parlia ment to be used in commemoration of that event was read at the church of St. Mary Aldermary, by the Rev. H. B. Wilson, 1).D., incumbent of that, and of the united parish of St. Thomas -the-Apostle. With the exception of St. Paul's Cathedral (now closed), this is the only church in the city where this solemnity is still observed. The accounts from all parts of the United Kingdom of the weather and the harvest, are of the most favour able description. Earl Howe has given 101. to be distributed in prizes to the allotment growers of Hinkley for the best ma nagement and cultivation of their respective pieces of land. On Monday the Lord Chancellor laid on the table of the House of Lords a return of the number of Royal Com missions assenting to public Bills during the present session ; also noticing the dates at which such Bills seve rally were read the first time in the House of Lords. There were 11 commissions, the last being on the 9th of August. To that period, inclusive, 105 Bills received the royal assert and became Acts of Parliament. Of that number 45, or very nearly one-half, were read for the first time in the House of Lords, in the course of July ; 11 were read for the first time in August. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

' - - The Ifessager states that the Duke d'Auntale is ex pected at Neuilly within a few days, the Queen haying expressed an anxious desire to see him, and the present tranquil state of Algeria permitting his absence from Constantine. Captain Bouet, immediately after his arrival at Paris, went on to Neuilly with letters from the Prince do Join ville to the Queen, which the Captain was charged to deliver into her Majesty's own hand. Hussein Bey and Achmet Bey, the Egyptian Princes, were presented to the King at Neuilly on Saturday. The grand military maneeu►res commenced at Melt on the 28th ult. The day being very fine, an immense multitude had assembled to witness them. The Dukes de Nemours and de Montpensier were loudly cheered. General Baron Tavernier, one ofthe most distinguished officers of the Republic and the Empire, died last week at Co!mar, aged 76. The Toulonnais repeats the rumour about the inten tion of the Government to appoint the Duke d'Aumale Governor-General of Algeria, and says it has reason to believe that this will take place before tie end of the present month. The last accounts from Gibraltar represent the health of Mr, Drummond 'lay to be in an alarming state, from the fatigue and anxiety he has experienced in his late mission to Morocco. The Paris Globe states that M. Mauguin is about to proceed in a few days to Madrid, to urge the claims of the French creditors on the Spanish Government. He will act is concert with the English Commissioners, for the purpose of having the claims of the creditors of the two countries attended to. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, AUG. 30.—His Majesty the King has been pleased to appoint the following superior officers to attend the review in the camp of Mitz, on the 15th of September :—Colonel Starm de Grave, of 3D. , Colencl illctron itrortrner - v - stn Dambenoy, of the General Staff; Lieut.-Colonel Delecourt, of the Hone Artillery; and Major Van Green, of the Grenadiers. The Duke of Saxe Weimar and his son are expected at Mitz. NIMEGRIEN, AUG. 30.—The incessant rainjwhich we have had for a considerable time had already darkened the prospects of the farmers, but the damage done by that which fell on S a t ur d a y an d S un d ay i s incalculable, especially in the lower parts of the pro vince, which in several polders are under water. STAIIORST, IN OVERYSSEL, AUG. 29.—The con dition of the farmers become worse and worse every day ; the standing crops and the potatoes are under water, and it will be difficult to save them. The water has risen above the dikes, and overflowed this extensive polder, and looks like a lake many acres in extent. THE HAGUE, AUG. 29.—His Majesty the King is expected to return to the Hague about the 3d of Sep- . tember. It is remarkable that almost all the members of the ROyal Family are now abroad ; the King and Queen at Weimar, the Prince and Princess of Orange at Rome, Prince. llenry in the Mediterranean, and none of the Princes are, residing here. While so many complaints are made here in Ger many and elsewhere of the wet summer, the heavy rains, and the overflowing of the rivers, the drought is equally destructive in Spain ; and accounts from Nor way say that the oldest inhabitants cannot remember such warm and dry weather. COURT. CIRCULAR. Wisi colt, WEDNEsuAr —The Queen and Prince Albert walked this mnrning in the grounds adjoining the Castle. The garden chair was taken in readiness when required, in which her Majesty occasionally rode. Her Majesty and the Prince drove out in a pony phaeton, attended by Lord Charles Wellesley.

Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office, for the Governor of Gibraltar. We understand that a subscription is being raised in this city, with a view to present the talented Celtic scholar, Mr. L. M'Lean, of Glasgow, with a testimonial, " in consideration," as the document sets forth, "of Mr. M'Lean's own many valuable qualities, together with his unwearied exertions in promoting the religious, moral, intellectual, and physical improvement of the poorer class of his countrymen." We never disapprove of seeing merit suitably rewarded, and we have much pleasure in taking notice of this affair, in order that, ere the papers be closed, it way reach the ears of lovers of Celtic an. dour and philanthropy, both at home and abroad, who otherwise might not by aware of it, BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-Taq.
