Those who are curious as to the position likely to be assumed by the newly-elected representatives on the re-assembling of Parliament will be rejoiced to have all their conjectures reduced to a certainty. The benches of the House of Commons are already ar ranged in respective divisions for the reception of the different classes of politicisns. The Liberals are to occupy an elevated place analogous to the Mountain of the National Convention ; while the Protectionits , are to bP grouped in a lower range, like the mem bers of the Rain in the same memorable assembly. For, be it understood, henceforth, the Liberals are Jacobins, the Protectionists are Constitutionalist s , and the Peelites are Girondi sts . Sir ROBERT P E EL ' is the new VERGNIAIJD, and RICHARD COBDEN is only another MAXIMILIAN ROBESPIERRE. Such are the sapient discoveries announced in the columns of a Contemporary, and announced, too, with a gravity worthy of DESCARTES or TOSCANELLI. The visionary who endeavours to impress the minds of his fellow countrymen with a sense of the magnanimity of tie Protectionists—the weakness, if not the pusillani mity of the Peelites—and the disguised blood-thirsti ness and inherent atrocity of the Liberals and Radi cals, draws his deductions—not from the experiences of common sense, that would be beneath his philoso phy I—but from the poetic history or M. A LPtiONSE DE LANIIRTINE. It is something odd, we must acknow ledge, to find a disciple of the good old school of Toryism quoting one of the most eloquent and im passioned Radicals of the age, and referring espe cially to the page s o f a work which is, in its way, the very text-book of republicanism. We con gratulate this Conservative theorist on the exqui s it e o btuseness of judgm en t which he evinces raising a Tory hypothesis out of the suggestions nce of in h a s demo cratic narrative. To say th e l east of them, m ents are as extravagant, but scarce l y as indelcenartgu_ those which y es t erda y prompted another o f our ias Con temporaries to compare one of the greatest statesmen in the world to a notorious concubine. S% hen we find, however, the avowed or gans o r Conservatism tracing analogies between the bloodi est demons of the French Revolution and the pacific at least, esti mate of Free Trade, r. r may, political bigotry, mate the ex tent of their hatred. 'and- the violence of their P political When we find them quoting mber for the the " History of tilt , Girondists" to show that the Hon. West Riding of Yorkshire, and for the borougliof Stockport, is in disposition, as well as in akin to those ferocious monsters who were the principle, despots of the Reign of Terror, we may conceive to ourselves the degree of animosity with which the popular representatives are regarded by the lovers of Conservatism. This chapter of nonsense about the elec tions of France in 1793, and of England in 1847, is in itself a sufficient token of the sentiments entertained by the Country Party, and the rationality with which those senti.nenta are. enunciated. It is the straw showing which way the wind blows, and inasmuch as t h e s t raw is v4luable as a kind of extemporaneous ,- ' ~....., -s _,. „ ;mil ' ...., ...", ;S 3., MA ..,„ 0 „ ‘,. , ..„,...y. ~,,........-,..? ..,..4 41 _ ~,........ lif,:=- - I . ; ~,,' .-• , r.,1 , ,:,, .

SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1847. weathercock, the article we are alluding to is, in a proportionate degree, worthy of consideration. Whatever may be the distribution of the three classes—Liberal., Peelites, and Protectionists—over the benches of St. Stephen's, it is already quite manifest that the latter will be incapable of interfering with the measures of the Govern ment in any more important manner than that of prolonging the discussions and giving vent to their ignoble feelings of spleen. Day after day the relative strength of the three classes just mentioned is published in our columns, and day after day the numerical and intellectual strength of the Liberals becomes more manifest. About six hundred out of the six hundred and fifty-eight Members entitled to sit in the House of Commons, have been already elected by those possessed of the franchise in England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland ; and out of those there are no less than three hun dred and seven avowed Liberals. Coupling these with the free-trade followers of' Sir ROBERT PEEL it is obvious that the Protectionists are in a dep'or able minority, and that the cause of the people is in no very alarming degree endangered. Much reason, however, as we have for exultation in the gradual removal of obstructions from the path way of constitutional reform, there is yet greater, reason for our evincing moderation and unanimity— moderation in the calmness with which the next session shall be opened, and unanimity in the support afforded to the generous endeavours of the present Administration. So essential are these qualities just now, that the measures which are most requisite for the national wel fare cannot by possibility be carried triumphantly through the Houses of Legislation without them. Some would be overlooked in the enthusiasm of the moment, were not that enthusiasm tempered by mode ration ; others, again, would be in peril of rejection, were not the sup, - )orters of those measures unanimous in opinion and untiring in attendance. The elections are, in fact, merely the conscription of the forces and the equipment of the conscripts ; the session will be the campaign, and in that campaign good general ship and effective manoeuvring will be necessary for the attainment of victory. Courage, then, soldiers of the nation ! and champions of constitutional reform ! Courage, and your success is even now assured. Yourselves, led by a Liberal Prime Minister, and that Prime Minister clad in the armour of popularity, you must prove in the end invincible. A letter appears this day in our columns from Dr* GEORGE MOBERLEY, He,.d Master of Winchester School, in which that Learned Gentleman attempts to show that the severe and dangerous illness of the young gentleman, referred to in the letter signed " HusrANITAs," which some time since appeared in The Sun, was nct wholly ascribable to the system of fagging, and in which also he not merely justifies, but in the highest degree eulogises that practice• We generally find that a defence of a bad case ex poses its weakness, and exhibits its defects in a stronger point of view, thar the attack to which it is intended as an answer. In this respect, the Rev. Gentleman's epistle forms no exception to the general rule; indeed, it more than confirms everything stated by HumANITAs. It admits that " the boy was sent to watch out at cricket for some of the pre fects," or senior boys, who possess the privilege of compelling their junior fellow-students to discharge the most degrark d menial offices, to become the abject slaves of their taskmasters; but adds, " that at the end of two hours he was at liberty to leave off, according to a rule laid down some years ago by the present warden, and, as far as I know, always most punctually and cheerfully obeyed. The day being one on which the usual arrangements of time were broken up on account of preparation fur the holidays, other prefects came to play, and the game was continued. The boy in question was well pleaed to go on watching out without claiming his exemption, and did so much longer than was good fur him, and the result is, that he is very ill—not, as the surgeon assures me, dangerously, at present, but still very ill." Here, then, we have the circumstances at once deducible from the admissions of the Reverend Gentleman. We find that the fag, obliged by the regu'ations of the school to attend the behests of the juvenile despot to whose tender mercies he is consigned, no matter what his own pursuits or desires may be, he must forego them all. lie is com pelled to relinquish his recreations during the brief space allotted for them ; nay, he cannot devote :he time to preparation for the ensuing school hours, however deficient he may be in the tasks in which he is expected by the master to be perfect. Ile must give up every thing to watch out fur the prefects at cricket, or to discharge any other duty they, or rather his p"culiar tyrant, may choose to dictate. But he is at liberty, forsooth, at the end of two hours, to leave off, a rule which, as far as the beau nrister knows, has been most cheerfully and punc tually obeyed. Why, what a mockery is this. What boy is there who, so long as the system is sanctioned and tolerated by the school authorities—so long as his master is authorised to punish and tyrannise over him, to deprive him of every comfort, and make his life itself a burden to him, would dare to complain of any breach of the regulations, or refuse to remain as lung as his attendance was required without claiming his exemption ? Should he even venture to do so, and to report to the masters the violation by the prefects of that rule, in what manner would his complaint be received, and what future protection would be afforded to him against the vengeance to which he would he exposed for his audacity ? The master would most assuredly be the very last person to hear anything of such a transaction, aed h- may ery truly say that, so fur as he knows, the rule is cheerfully obeyed, when the very contrary may be notorious to every pupil in the school. The outwork at cricket, without any admission to the bat or the more agreeable portions of the game, is not so very fascinating a sport that a boy would voluntarily con tinue at it for several hours on a broiling day in the month of July, until he actually fainted on the ground, unless some strong method of persuasion was used to induce him ; the result, in the words of Dr. MOBERLEY, is, that he is very ill, although not dangerously so at present—that is, at the end of five weeks from thu attack ;—in the words of llustasirras, he has for that period " lain in a state of lifeless insensibility, and remains at this moment unfit to be removed, a most miserable picture of human suffering." \Vhichever of these statements may be the most correct, either is amply sufficient to startle the parents of every l a d sent to a public school where the atrocious practice is still maintained. They will ask themselves, is it for such objects that they have parted from their child, that they have undeitaken heavy expenses on his account? Is it that he may become the dutiful and obedient servant of a schooUy that he may do the out-work at cricket, clean shoes, run messages, and discharge all the menial offices required by his senior ?—offices Under which the manly vigour and brilliant intellect of PERCY I3YSCIIE SHELLEY had almost suc cumbed, and the recollections whereof excited his horror and indignation at every subsequent period of his life. Is a course of slavery in t he first in stance, succeeded by the most despotic power, the only way by which the character of our English youth can be formed and prepared for future success? Dr. MORERLEY aiserts that " where a large number of bo;:s are assembled together there is a great danger, indeed, a certain prospect, that strength will often overrule and tyrannise over weakness." This is undoubtedly the truth—it is the tendency of human nature, against which the most stringent laws are required in every station and position ; there is no doubt that if left wholly to themselves a fwartul amount of cruelty, wan tonness, and sufferin g is sure to take place; Lilt we join issue at once with the Rev. Gen tlemen in hii conclusion that the system of fagging is the only way in which it can be checked, or that it furnishes the noblest method of forming the cha racters of those who exercise it, and those who live under it. As well might he assert that mo d ern laws' should be set aside, and that we should retur n to the patron and client sy o st b er ige o d f t a o nc b i: c n o t i t n i e m t e h s e , when the middle classes were foprattrhiceiaplatemcitioliel yield d th d ei . r I T m i l l e e pe l n r t i l r e g n i c n e ia i nn return of someplanter e is izt making better m a ethod rusz o i f formingm a ay e a har sse a r ot t that tthtanhere first a slave, and afterwards the - owner of slaves, and the argument of Dr. Difoßlown -- may prove convincing to such an auditory, but it will scarcely carry much weight with it to a body of free-born Englishmen. We trust that a speedy inquiry may take place into the entire sys tem. Winchester, as well as other public schools, derives a large revenue from endowments; and the manner in which they are expended, and whether or not the practices there sanctioned are conducive to the public benefit, form a legitimate subject for the notice of the Legislature. Much more attention has of late years been paid to education than was formerly the case, and recognised abuses will be no longer tolerated. It is not for the children of the middle or humbler classes that protection is required, but we demand it on behalf of the wealthy and highborn, the offspring of the magnates of the land. The Central Committee of the Swiss Popular As sociation has just published the following manifesto, addressed to " the sovereign people of Switzerland," as a reply to the calumnies of which it says it is the object, and a s an exposition of the end it seeks to attain, and of the means which it intends to em ploy : " On the 10th of July last the Bernese section of the Popular Association invited all good citizens to unite themselves to defend the dearest interests of the country. This appeal was heard! The meeting which took place at Berne on the 27th July furnished au irrefragble proof of it. The cantons of Geneva, Vaud, Valais, Bale- Campagne, Argovia, and Berne, were there represented by about five hundred citizens, who founded the Swiss Popular Association in the western parts of the Con federation. Thus is realised that national ides, the object of the ardent wi s hes of so many patriots! The Swiss Popular Association declares itself by this act for mally and definitively constituted. But, to dissipate the alarms which the common enemy perfidiously endeavours to Tread by misrepresenting our intentions, and to paralyse ulterior efforts, we declare positively, before God and the dear country, that we will never quit the path of right, and that we energ etically reject all malevolent and false accusations directed against our institution. On the other hand, we declare that we are deciders to employ all legal means which may tend to free the country for ever from its most dangerous enemies, .the Jesuits and the Sonderbund, and to throw off the yoke of the pact of 1815. Such is tt e object of the association. We give, besides, the formal assurance to our Catholic brethren that we have no intention to injure their faith; on the contrary, we affirm, on our honour and our name of Swiss, that our only object is to combat the enemy of all confessions and religion'—the Jesuits! Swiss, who sympa.hise with us, and who are impatient to see the country freed from the bonds which, paralysing our in tellectual and material develeptuent, prevent us from becoming a Switzerland united and grand, capable of re• siAing the foreigner, unite yourselves to us, and let us take the oath to•have neither rest nor truce until the Helvetic soil shall be purged of all the elements which stain it. Then our fathers of the Grutli will rejoice at the patriotic spirit which animates their descendants! Come to us, Swis- citizens, animated by a firm and en , rge tic determination ro defend our rights and liber ties, and let to tie the knot of an indissoluble union! Salutation and fraternity !" The Poles, THEOPIHLUS WISNIOWSKI and JOSEPH KAPUSCZINSXI were executed on the 31st of July, at Lemberg. The execution was looked on as a mar tyrds.m. On the scaffuld the victims urged the people to persevere for the liberation of Poland. Crowns of flowers were showered upon them as they proceeded to their death. It was a triumph rather than an execution. The Prussian State Gazette publishes a notice by the KING of the proceedings of the Diet, in which his MAJESTY promulgates his royal will for giving the force of law to the decisions respecting the Jews and other matters approved of by that body, and expresses his intention of modifying for a future Diet some of the propositions which were objected to by the late assembly. With reference to the refusal to authorise a loan for the construction of the railroads of the east, his MAJESTY states that he cannot promise that he will submit a new proposition to a future Diet, but he reserves to himself to ordain, according to time and circumstances, whatever may be necessary for continuing the construction of the line ; alway 3, however, taking into consideration the opinions ex pressed by the Diet, and the resources of the State, so as to be able to give aid for the construction of other important lines. The language of the KING i. throughout the whole document firm, but at the same time moderate, and betrays nothing like irritation against the Diet, although there are expressions of regret at the rejection of some of the measures which were submitted to it. A letter from Vienna of the 3d states that the new laws relative to the press which the Germanic Diet is about to adopt, will borrow their principal dispo sitions from those of Denmark. In that country there is no censorship, but the Government has the right to seize the whole edition of any number of a journal. The editor may consent to the seizure, or demand to be brought before the tribunals, which will either declare the seizure good or void, and if good will inflict the penalty awarded in the law for the publication of the offensive article. Among the penalties which the law inflicts on responsible editors of newspapers is the interdiction for a certain number of years, or even for life, of the privilege of publish ing anything without previously submitting it to the censorship. Letters from Rome, of the 2d instant, state that Monsignor MoaicaiN is appointed Finance Mi nister, and Cardinal ANTONELLI, the former Finance Minister, has been sent as legate to Forli. Madrid papers of the 7th instant, have arrived. A forged proclamation, issued in the name of the KING, and urging the nati.•n to upset the Govern ment, has been seized by the authorities. The KING denies all knowledge of it. It w;:s forwarded to his MAJESTY at the Prado . with a request that he would affix his name to it. The KING immediately forwarded the parcel to the Mi nister of the Interior. It is said that PACHECO BAUAMUNDE and PASTOR Dias are about to retire from the Cabinet, which will be remodelled by SALIMANANCA. General CONCHA, the Marquis of MIRATLORES, and General SERRANO bill, it is said, have seats in the new Cabinet. It is said that SALAMANCA not being able to raise the loan of 100,000,000 of reals in Spain, has sent an agent to Paris to endeavour to raise the money among the French capitalists. A royal decree has been issued, permitting the exportation of grain from Spain. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 7.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26; for cash; the Five per Cents. at 17i ; and the Coupons at 15. The Paris journals of Thursday hare been received. From a correspondence published in the Moniteur Parisien, it appears that the Bishop of Sr. BittEux, who from his conduct must be, we should imagine, tl - e Ptitm.rox's of France, has managed to get into a squabble with the civil authorities, which promises to afford matter fur amusement to the quid ounce during the recess of the Chambers. It appears that in consequence of a difference between the diocesan authorities and the directors of the College of St. Brieuc, the Bishop demanded the immediate dismissal of three tunctionaries of the College, viz., the Prin. hnis notice,he would in cipal, S u b P r i nc i pa l , an d Ch ap l ain. A re f usa l hav i ng been g i ven, the Bishop declared that if his demand snot complied with in three terdie t oftle weeks i from Chaplainfromthe day the exercise of his religious functions. This threat having failed, the Bishop, at the expiration of the day allowed, passed the order of interdiction. The Minister of Public Instruction, the Prefect of the Department, the Municipal Council of St. Brieuc, and the directors and committee of the College, have all protested, but in vain, against this decision cf the Bishop, and the affair is now in the hands of the Minister of Justice and Public Worship, wh o w i n it is supposed, bring it before the Council of State., This demand on the part of the Bishop for the dismis. , al of three of the officials of a college over which he had no control, is one of the coolest pieces of impertinent medding that we have ever met with Six years ago such an attempt would never have been made, but the support given by M. G utzon to the Je suits in Switzerland has emboldened the Parti Pretre in France, who imagine that they will obtain from M. Guizor and Louts PanurrE that power which even POLIGNAC and CHARLII X. dared notgrant them. It would be well, however, that M. Guaor should awaken to the signs of the times. The spirit of li berty in France is not so deed as he would desire ; witness the reform banquet at Colmar, of which the following account appears in the National:— " 11t. 1 tossee, First President of the Royal Court of Coltntsr, accepted an i nv i tat i on to pres id e o n the coca gicia• Tho rrvico; together with gat FripPlP lll fun" tionaries of the department, in vain endeavoured to pre vail on him to refuse to assist at a demonstration organized by the Oppo.ition. •• M. Roisee considered that the moment had arrived to give the Government a salutary warning, and in this point of view the participation of the head of the Alsa tian magistracy in this civic solemnity was hailed with joy by his fellow-citizens M. Ensile Dolphus, Mayor of M u lh au sey, and Deputy for the Upp er Rhi ne , likewise accented an invitation to attend, but unexpected circum. stances, which occurred on the eve of the festivity, pre vented his carrying his intention into effect M. Struch, Deputy for the Upper Rhine, was present at the banquet, . together with M. Coulmann and M. Koechlin, former Deputies, several members of the mu , icipal councils of Strasburg and Mulhausen, and a considerable number of the inhabitants of those towns ; and moreover, several deputations . of electors from the principal towns on the Upper Rhine. When the guestshad taken their seats M. Gerard, the chief editor of the Courrier d'Alsace, and secretary of the committee for directing the banquet, proposed the appointment of a permanent electoral committee for the department of the Upper Rhine, and invited the assembly to sign immediately the petit on prepared by the central committee of the elec tors of Paris. The petition was immediately signed by all present. The g reatei.t cordiality prevailed throughout the meeting, and the Marseillaise,' with other patriotic airs, was performed by an excellent orchestra. After ninner the full wing toasts were given from the chair, and enthusiastically cheered:—e Electoral reform,' The union of nations," The French Revolution,' The realisation of its doctrines and principles,' The organi zation of labour,' and The probity of public authori ties.' AL teeersch, member of the municipal council of Strasburg, and principal editor of the Courtier du Bus Rhin, in proposing a toast, ' To the patriots of the Low( r Rhine,' delivered a speech, from which we make the fol lowing extract: — Yes, gentlemen, the present situation of affairs ap pear to us dangerous and lamentable. It is with sorrow in her heart, and a blush of indignation on her brow, that France has been for some time witnessing the can cer which is consuming her. It is with terror that the nation contemplates all the evil caused by the contagion of pernicious examples and pernicious maxims. A nation may endure innume rable disasters, see her armies defeated, her fleets destroyed, her filiances exhausted, and her commerce annihilated. These, no doubt, are severe trials, but they do not constitute disgrace. Waterloo was a catastrophe for France, but Waterloo is not a stain on our national history, for there was no dishonour in contending alone against all Europe, and by closing by one day of reverse half a century of victories. Moreover, a nation may take its rt venge fur a lost battle. It may recompose its army, rebuild its citadels, reconstruct its navy, revive its commerce and manufactures, and a few years are sufficient to restore its strength. France was in that po sition in 1830, prepared to recommence the gigantic struggles of the republic and of the empire, if any foreigner had dared to lay his hand on her, or if he had dared to prevent the accomplishment of a great act of popular sovereignty and of national justice. But, gen itemen, what is more serious than a battle lost, or any material disaster, is the moral decline of a nation and the extinction of public spirit in her breast. It is the oblivion of her providential mission, and of the part she was destined to act in human affairs. A nation commits suicide when it succeeds in suppres sing within itself every noble and generous sentiment, and in substituting sensual appetit• s for the instincts of national grandeur, the worship of the golden calf for the adoration of glory, the thirst of honours for the love of liberty, sellishne,s for devotedness, the materialism of ;he present for the ideal of the future, the cowardice of the slave for the dignity of man, the humility of the subject tor the proud independence of the citizen. And when those who possess the power to contend against social disorganization forget their sacred mission so far as even to teed the progress of the evil which they ought to oppose, in order to make use of it to advance some mist rable pertemul interest, they are a thousand times more culpable than ii they had squandered the treasure and wasted the material strength of the countr3, for a nation, be d emora li zat i on , is stuck to the heart. Away, then, with every feeling of discouragement or weakness. Let us hail this day as the aurora of a new p lineal life! Lrt us plant the flag of electoral and Par. iarnentsry reform with a bold hand, and rally round it all honourable and progressive opinions. Let the great national party constitute itself, therefore, on the entire surface of France. 'Let it amalgamate into one body the strong and th e wea k, the impatient and the timid, in order that they may all concur in the same work of im provement. Let it gather all willing friends that have eeen aispersed—ell noble instincts that have been out reged—all efforts impotent through isolation, and France seal re. ume that noble part assigned to her in modern civilization ; she will resume the lead in all great con ceptions and all great actions.' " The President Rossee next proposed the King's health, which was received by the assembly with solemn silence, followed by a cry fur the Marsedlaise,' which eas concluded with a triple round of applause, when the meeting separated." The Patrie states that the Duc D'AUSIALE has been appointed Governor-General of Algeria, and that a splendid Palace is to be built at Algiers for his resi dence. The Prince DE JOINvILLE was still at Naples on the 3d instant, and it was remarked that a very active correspondence was carrried on between him and Count Rossi, the French Ambassador at Rome. The continued rise in the price of flourin the Paris market caused some apprehension for the tranquillity of the capital. - M. TESTS has petitioned for the restoration of the 94,000 f. fine imposed on him, but the Ministers have reported against his request. M. KLEIN, who was sent to Bogota to negotiate with the Government of New Grenada the conditions of the cession of a railroad across the isthmus of Panama, had returned to Paris. M. KLEIN com• pletely succeeded in his mis,ion, having obtained most advantageous terms for the company he represented. It was even believed that the works of that important enterprise would be forthwith commenced, under the direction of _M. DE COUkTINES, engineer of the company. DI.

AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA. EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MOUSING. The arrival of the royal mail steamer Britannia, Captain Harrison, at this port, after a voyage of twelve days and a half, from Boston, including her calling and stay at Halifax, has put us in possession of our files of papers to the Ist inst., her day of de parture from her first port. The Britannia has 107 passengers. She met the outward bound steamer, Hibernia, between Halifax and Boston, which latter port she might be expected to reach on the 2d inst. The United States steamer 'Washington bad arrived out at New York on the 30th of July. The commercial news is important ; the rate of exchange had declined to 5i per cent., and between that rate and 61 there was an active business done, with plenty of bills offering. The following are the quotations : Whipple has been lassoed near Vera Cruz. Captain William Duff died on the 16.,h. and Lieutenant Parkyr, of the nav,, lied on the 12 h, on board of the Missis sippi. The Sun of Analiuuc of the 13. h gays, that by private expres, from l'uowa, hat been re ceived that Cadwallader af.d Pillow, with the trains, had arrival at Perote, and had been a.tacked at Luhora by a large Mexican force, and completely routed the enemy, with but kip low,. " This expresl left Puebla on the 3i, and the news was ri olive' there the day previous. that three commis sioners had been appointed to meet Mr. Trist at !-an Martin on the Bth. and learn through him the terms offered by the Pr. sidene A letter from Mexico, dated the 2d, sass there is no doubt but that the treaty m w ill he ec i e d, d immediately b ) t h e commis sioners, the peace party is so strong, and that Santa Anna will probably pronounce for peace. The names of the commissioners given are °artistic Baranda, and Tornel. News from G. neral Pillow had arrived at Pueb:a by an express rider, and an express from Gene ral Scott from Puebla to Vera Cruz was murdered, after desperate re,i,t e m ee " Turning from the warlike tenor of the advices, we proceed to that portion of it which treats of peace: The papers before us announce that Mexico had at last ac cepted the offer to negotiate, and that three commis sioners were appointed to meet Mr. Trist, the American Minister. The result will soon be known. It is said that Santa Anna was disposed in favour of peace. " General l'aylor's position remained unchanged, and no clue to his future intentions had been promulgated. Recruits are slowly gathering to his forces. " The advices just received contain accounts from Ca lifornia. The two regiments of volunteers from New York had arrived in the territory, to occupy and colo nise the coast around Monterey and the Bay of San Francisco. A newspaper has been established at each of these points, and another in Oregon. American en terprise is thus spreading the English language along that wide extended coast, and diffusing the arts of civi lisation and peace among the untutored savages of the wilderness. A new city has been laid out in the Bay of San Francisco. " Accounts from Oregon state that the American settlements there were attaining vigorous growth under a Government of their own orgs,niz ition. On the re ceipt of news of the adjustment of the Oregon boundary, they had a grand celebration, and fired a national salute. A large and prosperous trade is growing up with the Sandwich Islands and the Russian settlements." (Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.) WASUINGTON, JULY 23.—There is a letter in the city, received by the Western mail, with the startling intelligence that the Mormon regiment and the Mormon settlers, in California. have risen and rebelled against the American Government as established there, taking po- session of the country, and establishing an independent government of their own. There may be some foundation for the rumour. The Mormons, prior to the origin of the Mexican war, had designed to establish an empire in Calitornia, and had taken some stsps towards the enterprise.

Iy6. 107 There was no later arrival at New York until that of the Washington steamer on the 30th. In the interval, prices of breadstuffs fell off, and as large quantities con tinued to arrive, and the harvest of this year is now about everywhere safely gathered, and proves excellent in quality, and not deficient in quantity, it seems scarcely possible that prices can rally again. The effect of the Washington's news, however, was to give a life to prices, and Genesee flour went up nearly 50 cents. p e r bbl. We subjoin the latest rep wt. In flour but little doing. Holders firm at 6 dolls., and some asking 6 dolls. 121 cents. to 6 dolls. 25 cents. for Genesee ; in the lower grades nothing doing. Corn is held at 70 cents. for mixed, with sales at about that rate. 2,500 bushels bar ley sold at 55 cents. The Indian corn, of which the harvest is not till Oc tober, is of the most abundant promise. Cotton—The backwardness, and, in some districts, the unpromising aspect of the crop, cause holders in this market to be very firm, and although we have the large stock of about 12.000 bales in this port alone, and prices have advanced 1 to 4 of a cent. per lb. since the 15th instant, the quantity offered for sale has been very moderate in proportion to the demand, the sales having averaged neatly 2,000 bales per day, chiefly for export ; latterly, prices have been a shade in favour of the buyer, but probably as mach owing to the dulness and decline in exchange as to any other cause. The only novelty is that there are loud complaints of too much rain in the Atlantic States and eastern Alabama ; some complaints, but less loud, of the same evil in northern Mississippi and western Tenessee, but none of any moment from Louisiana or northern Ala bama. The worm has been reported, and undoubtedly a worm has appeared in some few cases, but it is now generally conceded that it is not the worm. The latter is, however, anxiously expected or apprehended, as the case may be, but not before August. There has deen a strange irregularity in the weather of the Cotton States. The crop Is more advanced in north Alabama and Tenessee than in Georgia. On the Ala bama there has been too much rain, on the Tombigbee, the other branch of the same river, scarcely enough. The chances are certainly adverse to a large crop, but the quantity of land planted is manually great, and there are plenty of plants in the fields, though some of them are very small ; a combination of favourable circum stances may yet produce a large crop, but nothing short of such a combination can leave any room for expecting over 2,400,000 bales. JULY 31.—Holders are not pressing their stocks on the market ; consequently the transactions since the ar rival of the Washington have not been to a sufficient ex tent :to establish the market prices, which, so far, are steady at quotations. Since the sailing of the last steamer, the market for all kinds of barrelled provisions has been dull ; dealers are careless of purchasing at the rates demanded by holders. Mess pork has fallen of considerably in price; 1.5 dollars is now the rate fur a good article. For Prime Mess Beef 19 dolls. 15c. has been paid for a small lot, the principal consignees are shippers on owners' acccunt ; at the above price, taking the present rates of freight and exchange, it would probably lose money, and as holders are limited, they have orders to ship, if that price cannot be obtained. We no longer presume to barrel beef at low prices in the state of.New-York, and the same is true of Balti more. Emigrants by thou,ands, and the general pros perity of the country, cause a consumption so large that our state cannot keep pace with it, and lamb and mutton are the principal meats in the market at present. Pork, as • far as we can judge, will be bought at fair prices, as there will be a heavy supply, farmers being stimulated to bring forward all that are in condition, from the large profits made last season. We understand a larger number of bogs than ever was before known will be brought to market next fall, ex pecting a great demand for the English market. Cheese will be a fair yield, but we question whether it will be as large as some anticipate; butter having been in such good demand, will induce the farmers to make an article leas liable to risk of damage in being brought to market, and last fall's prices being kept in remem brance. With a view to improvement of the warehouse system of the United States, the Secretary of the Treasury has sent out by the Britannia a commission to examine into the condition of warehouses in England, to collect all information upon the subject here, both as to the law and the practice. Upon the report of this commission, the Secretary is expected to base such improvements in the present system as his experience, after the trial given it here, has suggested as necessary to its successful operation and the advancement of our commercial interest. For this important commission he has delegated D. P. Barhydt, Esq., the present Register of the Bonded Warehouse in New York, and has associated with him C. C. Walden, Esq., an experienced clerk in the Custom house of that city. The intelligence from the seat of war is of an in teresting character. By accounts which had reached New York on the 30th, it appears that several petty engagements had taken place between the forces of the United States and Alf XICO. Colonel De Russy and a small detachment of Americans from Tampico ventured about a hundred miles inland to rescue American prisoners, but being surrounded by greatly superior numbers, they cut their way through the enemy with a loss of twenty killed and ten wounded. GenEral Pearce has also engaged a division of Mexi cans near the National Bridge, in which he came oil' successful, but so crippled that he had to return to Vera Cruz for reinforcements. An expedition was dispatched for Alvarado, in quest of a daring guerilla priest from Spain, one Padre Jaranta, who is plun dering the Mexican population at peace with the Americans. The chase waa unsuccessful, but a clue was obtained to the haunts of this daring outlaw, who gives no quarter to Americans or Alexicans. General Scott remained at Puebla, and Generals Cadwallader and Pillow were at Perote, We extract the following details of the skirmishes alluded to above from a New Orleans paper : _ The news of a battle between General Pearce and the Mexicans, which was a rumour by a passenger in the cars, is not confirmed. By the report of the captain of the steamer Orleans, as published in the Picayune, it appears that he left Vera Cruz on the 14th instant, at which time General Pearce had reached the National Bridge with 2,500 men and 150 waggons, on the march towards Puebla. The Orleans arrived at Tampico on the 15th, where the captain was informed by Colonel Gates of the departure of Colonel de Russy up the liver with 120 men, partly Baltimoreans, iu search of the Mexican prisoners lately released. H e lan led with sixty mules near Huejutla, and was sur rounded by 1,200 or 1,400 Mexicans, and had to cut his way through, and returned towards the river, and was there waiting for reinforcements. " Col. Yiites dispatched the Orleans back to Vera Cruz with a requisition on Governor Wilson for four companies of infantry, and sent at the same time one hundred and flit% men up the river to the relief of Do Russy. The Orleans arrived at Vera Cruz on the 16th, and found the city in a stale of great excitement. Gene. ral Pearce had encamped ten miles from the city, wilt n scouts from his rear guard Caine in and report, d that large forces of Mexicans were at the National Bridge, marching towards V e r a C ruz. " Ever) thing was got ready for an expected attack; the shipping removed from between the city and the castle. General Pearce came in and took a reinforcement of seven hundred men, and again marched to meet the enwny. Colonel Gates' rt qulsition could not be corn plied with, but the Orleans received twenty-five marines, and returned to Tampico, %here she arrived on the 28th, and learned that De Ru,sy's detachment in returning near to Iluejutla, in a narrow pass, was surrounded by 1,200 or 1,400 Mexicans, who cenlinenced a heavy fire Irvin all directions, but fled through the ch pporsl after six or eight rotted* of grape. De Hussy continued at intervals tor several da) s to fight his way back to the river, where he was received by Colonel Gates rein forcements. " He reached Tam' ico on the night of the 16th, with a less i,f twenty kUlt.d, ten wounded, tt% 0 and twenty horses, and bix.y pack naulcs. Capiain Boyd and Tatinahill ev,re killed. De Hussy recuived bon ral balls thiough hi. clothes, and Captain Wybe had three horses 811 , 4 under him. " The Mexican lees rept-muted at 150. Lieutenant CANADA. The accounts from Montreal are to the 29th ult. inclusive. The Governor-General prorogued the provincial Parliament on the 28th, with the following speech : "Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council aud Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly,— "In relieving you for the present trona attendance in this place, I have to thank you for the zeal and assiduity, in the discharge of your important duties, which have enabled you, during the course of a session of com paratively short duration, to consider and perfect many measures which promise to be of great advantage to the community. "I sincerely trust that the alterations which you have made in the provincial tariff, and the additional facilities afforded to trade by the extension of bonding and ware housing privileges, will be productive of benefit to the colony, and tend to the promotion of its commercial and agricultural interests. " I have observed with eatisraction the attention which you have bestowed on the several projects which have been brought before you for developing the mineral re sources of the province, and improving its means of internal communication. " I trust that the measures which you have passed for the amendment of certain provinions of the criminal code, for the protection of mercantile interests, for ren dering the common school act of' Upper Canada more effective, and for placing the municipal institutions of Lower Canada on an improved footing, will be attended with beneficial results. " The prevalence of disease among the immigrants who have arrived from Europe this session has occasioned me much concern. 1 have not tailed to bring this sub ject under the consideration of her Majesty's Secretary of State, and to represent the necessity of adopting measures to place emigration to this colony under more efficient regulation. Meanwhile my warmest acknow ledgments are due to you fur the liberal provision which you have made for relieving the indigent and preventing disease from spreading in the province. The charitable exertions of the clergy—of the ladies attached to the religious conurtunitiea—and of benevolent individuals among the laity—who have, at the hex erd of their lives, ministered to the necessities of the sick, are beyond any praise which it is in my power to offer ; but I cannot re frain on this occasion from paying a tribute to their de votedness and Christian zeal. " Gentlemen of the llouse of Assembly : " I thank you in the name of her Majesty for the readi ness with which you have voted the suppttes necessary for the public service, and fez maintaining the credit of the province. " Honourable Gentlemen and Gentlemen : " The several addresses to the Queen which you have transmitted through me, have been duly fore arded to be laid at the foot of the throne. " By exercising the influence which you possess in your respective. districts to carry out local improvements, aud give full effect to the wise and salutary enactments of the Legislature, you may render services to the com munity hardly less important than those which yt.ti dis ch irge while you are assembled here. lam confident that these duties will engage your attention on your re turn to your homes; anti I earnestly pray that our ex ertions for the advancement of the various interests of this noble province, and for the benefit f all classes of the inhabitants, may be attended with the Divine blessing." The Honourable Speaker of the Legislative Council then declared that it was the pleasure or his Excellency the Governor-General that the Parliament should stand prorogued to Monday, the 6th September. Speaking of the session, closed on that day, a Mon treal paper of July 28th says :—" Throughout, the Legislature has shown itself disposed to adopt a liberal commercial policy, so far as the regulation of com merce rests with itself. With regard to relations with the mother country, it seems also to be under stood that free trade will be forced upon us as to our products, and that, instead of useless re , rets the best thing we can do is to endeavour to obtain from Great Britain freedom for ourselves. Thus, all the differential duties have been repealed, and an ad dress voted to her Majesty, praying for the repeal of the navigation laws, so far as they relate to our trade, and the free navigation of the St. Lawrence. Ano ther measure of this kind is the extension of the Act for the protection of copyright. The British Govern ment having informed the Colonial Government that they were ready to remove the present prohibition of American reprints of copyright nmks, if a fair pro tection were afforded the British author, it was at first proposed to impose a considerable duty on re prints; but as the price of these American editions are so incomparably cheaper than the original English ones, it was soon seen that no duty could afford any real protection. It was, therefore, proposed to allow all English authors to enjoy a copyright under the provincial statute, on condition of the republication of such works within the province ; the reprints of all other works being admitted at the ordinary rates of duty on books. The other great measures of the session, from which much was hoped, have turned out failures ; nothing has been done about the Post office, and nothing about King's College, except a proposition to divide the funds among a number of colleges." The immigration, and the sickness caused by it, was still the subject of much discussion. During the six weeks ending July 24, the deaths at Montreal from fever were-596 residents, 316 immigrants in town, 1,134 immigrants in sheds—making a total of 2,046 ! MONTREAL MARKET, JULY 27.—Flour—From the 12th to the 18th instant a lair business was done at 275. to 275. 6d. for good shipping brands of fine, and at pro portionate rates for the superior qualities. On the 19th the English mail arrived, the advices by which had the eff,et of greatly depressing prices. Sales of interior mixed lots of tine opened at 2[s. 6d. to 21s. 9d. per bbl., and of better qualities, fit for shipment, at 225. 6d. to 235. 9d. per bbl ; at the same time 1,000 bbls. 44 elland Canal Mills 11 iur, from States wheat, delivered between the 10th and 30th pre ximo, were placed to fulfil a previous contract, at 26-4. per bbl., and 255. to 255. 6fl. have since been freely offered for the same on equal brands, without tempting holders. Indeed, during the whole fortnight, but particularly during the last few days it has been extremely difficult to purchase flour at the rates of the day, as above nu ntioned, owing to the principal holders having, to a great extent, withdrawn their good brands entirely from the market, with the view of taking their chance tf a future reaction or shipping to England on their own account. Today there has not been a transaction worth quoting. Wheat—With the exctption of a sale or two on the 23d inst., the transactiona of the fortnight have been quite unimportant. Oil that day a parcel i f 9.000 oushels of white States what of superior quality was plated at a price not allowed to transpire, but generally understood to be 6s. 3d. per 601 W.; at the same time 6d. was off red awl le:used for a parcel of middling U.

The news they,' brought had not transpired at the latest date, but a report got into circulation that the Mexican Govern ment had sent three commissioners to San Nartin Tesmelucan, about nine leagues from Puebla, to meet Mr. Trist, and hear through him the terms offered by the The PresAmint. de erican paper at Vera Cruz, under date of-, the 13th inst., says— l'h "We have seen a letter d a ted Mexico, JOY 2 . s ecs writer says that he does not doubt that a treaty of petie would be concluded at once by t h e commissio ners. a•so ~ays that the peace party has become s o coos!s_e4 able in the capital that he thinks that Sant a A is nnlitwro," always on the side of the strongest), w ill soon F notmee hims.-lf in favour of peace." The same paper states that the express wb-e h left Puebla on the 3d instant, brought private dated that day. It then proceeds to state the rumot.l' in these words :—" News had been received the di l l_ previous from Mexico, that commissioners had be i. e:; appointed by the Mexican Government to o . ° o with Mr. Trist at St. Martin Tesmelucan, vigia leagues from Puebla, and it was supposed they - w°ll letters.; meet him on the 4th of July." These are all the particulars in relation to the air pointment of commissioners. Orl e a ns On the other hargl an express to the Neveht Picayune, which was attacked and robbed , br ° , l4 o on the fragments of some of the letters to Vera fit on the 16th instant. Among them was a psts a ; c l o dated on the 11th inst., which says that , 31 : 1 ,i l ia was the order of the day." No faith was t he the prospect of peace, and it was considered b l ew , writer that Santa Anna's sole obect was to gai n '' / .0 It would seem very certain, from that whatever might have been the foundation °rota rumour, nothing farther had transpired in ralg iti ni e e pt it after eight days.
