SEPTEMBER 29, 1847 Communications have at length been received in the Spanish capital from the Captain-General Don BALI:IO3,IER° ESPARTIYRO, Due de la Victoria. The inanner of their reception by the illu‘trious personages to whom they were addressed was honourable alike to themselves and to that distinguished statesman. As a fitting return for his personal devotion totheße gent during the days of his exile and misfortune, Colonel GURREA was selected as the bearer of these interesting letters, a n d t o C o l one l G URREA himself, therefore, as the friend and representative cf ESPAR- TERO, were directed th ose a ff ec ti ng mar k s o f consi deration which have rec(-ntly been afforded by the SOVEREIGN and the Government. According to the accounts received from well-informed correspondents, the reception of Colonel GURILEI by ISABELLA was characterised by an amenity and grace peculiarly in accordance with the general nobleness of her disposi tion. And the friendly solicitude evinced by her Most Catholic MAJESTY as to the health and happi ness of one who had fought so bravely and suffered so grievously in her behalf was an appropriate corollary to the late political amnesty and to the decree restor ing the exiled warrior to his titles, dignities, and pos sessions. The reception of GURREA by the members of the new Administration was in like manner so re. rnarkable for its cordiality and empressement as to be in itself sufficient evidence of the feelings of sympathy entertained by the Salamanca Cabi:let for the personal sufferings , and protracted banishment of the Duke of 1 , ICTOILY. Immediately his emissary appeared in the doorway of the Council Chamber, the Ministers rose with one accord for the purpose of testifying their respect for the eminent man still resident in the modest villa in the Regent's. park. After one by one embracing the gallant bearer of ESPARTERO'S letter, the colleagues of Senor SA LAMANCA. listened to its perusal with that attention which was assur d by its manly and dignified lan guage. ESPARTE RO , it would appear, has expressed his readiness to place his good sword at the disposal of his SOVEREIGN, an to employ his abilities as a captain and a statesman i 1 the cause to which they were ori ginally devoted. Whatever may he the result 0; these commuovations between the greatest of the soldiers of ISABELLA and her present political adviser s , it must be a matter of si ncere gratulation to all lovers' of true patrio - ism, that t ie royal dupe of CHRISTINA and Louis P HILIPPE h as b een affJrded an opportu nity, so soon after her disastrous marriage, of bind ing yet more indissolubly to her cause the most loyal and able of her few defenders. The young QUZEN need no longer tremble in her palace at the reflection that she has to oppose to the profounk guile of one who is al most an octogenarian the resolution of a heart that has only throbbed during seventeen sum mers. She may now raise between herself and the formidable intriguers of Malmaison and the Tuileries a man whose very integrity may outwit their crafti ness and whose acknowledged genius as a com mander and administrator may restore her to happi ness, by securing the independence of her kingdom. England exults at the revival of hope to ESPAR TEE°, and at the restoration to him of all those honours which were won by his honesty and prowess in the service of his QUEEN and country. England exults in this change of fortune, but she exults not as at the reclamation of a partizan. Eng land exults at the propitious epoch which has arrived in the career of ESPARTBRO, 13.!cause she admires genius, because she loves truth, because she reverences justice, because in the estimation of her people no sight is more worthy of admiration than the acknow ledgment of the services of an earnest and disinte rested patriot. We rejoice, therefore, over the re newal of a friendly intercourse between ISABELLA and ESPARTERO, because the former is in extraor dinary need of a staunch and gifted protector, and because the latter has earned for himself the admira tion of his countrymen by his integrity during the time when he was prosperous and powerful, and by his patience during the hours of his most severe affliction. It is not unworthy of consideration, that simulta neously with the receipt of this intelligence from Madrid, news arrives from Paris of the additional dignity conferred by the French MONARCH upon the most illustrious of the living warriors of his kingdom. SOULT is honoured in a peculiar manner by Lours PHILIPPE, while ESPARTERO is receiving from ISABELLA an especial token of her favour• The juxtaposition of these names is emblema tic in a particular manner of the credit due to the two SOVEREIGNS. LBy a royal ordinance the Duke of DALMATIA is nominated Marshal-Gene ral of France. By a royal decree the Duke of VICTORY is reinstated in his rank as Captain-General of Spain. The former act is worthy of Louis PHILIPPE, the latter of ISABELLA. It is suitable that a young QUEEN, placed in a position so perilous as that of her Most Catholic MAJESTY, should evince her regard for the most single-minded of her defenders ; and it is most suitable that the KING of the FRENCH should confer another sounding title upon the most notorious time-server in the length and breadth of his dominions. Far be it from us to call in question the military genius of the Duke of DALMATIA. We have not the presumption or the fool-hardiness of the gallant biographer of WALLENSTEIN. It is enough to remember that SOULT was a lieutenant of NAPOLEON to feel assured that he was by no means incompetent as a warrior, and that he won the imperial feof of Dalmatia by some great service to France, either on the battle field or in the council-chamber. But history will not rail to record how slippery were the affections of Marshal SOULT, how transferable was his loyalty , how convenient was the plasticity of his allegiance. It will say that among those who became oblivi ous of their gratitude to the Emperor and King NAPOLEON in the day of his disastrous down f4l, SOULT was not the least conspicuous—that his name may be coupled with those of BERTHIER and MARMONT in that epoch of ducal perfidy and imperial misfortune—that he was ready to lick the dust at the feet of the glut tonous Bourbon, Lours XVlll.—that he was the most obedient vassal of the national enemy CHARLES X., until the popularity of Lours PHILIPPE D'ORLEANS appeared to be becoming predominant, and that the retention of his wealth and dignities at all risks was the summum bonum of the Duke of DALMATIA. As a subject and a citizen ESPARTERO is as different from SOULT as the character of ALM.. MARLE iS dissimilar to that of BOLIVAR. The recent decisions of Mr. T. Y. M'CLIRISTIE, the Barrister appointed to revise the lists of voters for the City of London, will, we trust, be productive of the most beneficial results in preserving those actually and bona fide entitled to the elective franchise from the trouble and annoyances to which they have hitherto most needlessly been exposed, and also in preventing many from losing their right of voting, in consequence of their choosing to relinquish it until the period of the next registration, rather than to submit to great 'personal inconvenience in attend ing to substantiate their claim, or to defend their title against the objections made against it. The Legislature, in deciding that there should be an annual revision of the lists of voters, never intended that every person inserted therein should be compelled to sacrifice a portion of time that might be of considerable value to him, in consequence thereof. It provided certain qualifications which should be essential to entitle the party to vote at the elections for Members of Parliament. So far as its intentions could be carried out in practice, the parties qualified were not to be subjected to any difficulty or trouble. If by any mistake or accident their right was not immediately recognised, a simple and easy remedy was supplied, that the error might be cor rected. At the same time, in order to guard against the admission of improper and unqualified persons, and as every elector is interested in preventing an undue usurpation of the franchise, it enabled every such elector to object to the retention of the name of any person on the list who was wanting in any of the necessary qualifications. With these objects the overseers of parishes in any city or borough were required, amongst other things, to make out an alphabetical list of all person. entitled to vote, in respect of the occupation of pre mises of the clear yearly value of not less than 101., -ituate wholly or in part within their parishes. By the Reform Act every person was entitled to be re gistered if he had occupied premises of the clear yearly value of 10/. for twelve months previous to the last day of July, and provided he had been rated to the relief of the poor in respect of these premises for the preceding twelve months, and had paid all rates due up to the month of April. From this it was obvious that any occupier omitted from any rate would be disfranchised for the subse quent year; but every such person was permitted to serve a notice on the overseer, claiming to be rated to the relief of the poor in respect of the premises in his occupation, and the overseers were required to put such name upon the rate for the time being ; and in case they neglected or refused so to do the occupier should notw i thstanding, for the is e urposes of the Act, be deemed to have been rated for the pre mises from the time the rate was made, on which he claimed to be placed. If the overseers, through wilful neglect or carelessness, omitted to pl ace upon the list the name of a party duly qualified, a d ou bl e was given against them. The aggrieved party was entitled to maintain an action for the damages he might sustain or be pat to in consequence thereof, while the Revising Barrister was empowered to in. flict a fine for every wilful breach of duty in the execution of the Act of not more than 51. or less than 20s. The first of these was never acted on. We believe that there is not an instance of an action by a private party against overseers for their neglect in orAtting to place him on the register. The Re v'ssing Barrister very seldom indeed exercised his power; if great negligence was apparent he some times censured them, and threatened that if they persevered in similar acts of carelessness he would act with less leniency on future occasions, but the fine was scarcely ever enforced, and the practical impunity increased the irregularity until it became a positive nuisance, and very many gentlemen were subjected to considerable expense, trouble, and annoyancellr.Ai,ciinutclowrnsießqhunes nce.determined, so far as in him lies, to put a stop to this reprehensible conduct on the part of the parochial authorities, and censures having proved utterly useless, he has, much to the surprise and consternation of the overseers, inflicted tee l, a number of fines varying from 1/. to 4/ instance, according to the nat ure of the case in a . rr ti salutary examples will, it may hop e d, se such great par ties who tak e u p on th e m se l ves d ut i es responsibility, and on the correct and accurate dis charge of which the personal convenience of every parishioner is so muc h concerne d , to devote a greater degree of _attention thereto, and in no c ase omit the name o f an y person ent i tled to the franchisteo from the list without , a fair and plausible excuse to justify them for suc h a n om i ss i on. The other decisioza of the Lea} 0 Gentl eman to which we have referred is still more important. The Act which authorised any person to claim to be in serted, or to object to any name being retained, in the list of voters, provided that costs not exceeding 20s. might be given against such person, to the party resisting such claim or objection, that power, how ever, was seldom acted on, and numerous frivolous objections were usually taken, many of which were wholly without foundation, but which were made for the purpose of annoyance, and on the chances of the person objected to being, from the pressure of his avocations, unable to attend before the Barrister, and to maintain his right to be retained. If the party was not pre•,ent he was disfranchised, but if he attended the objection was withdrawn, and no notice taken. Mr. APCIIRISTIE has also determined to put down this practice .% hich had been carried to such an extent that thousands of ob jections were lodged which were qui'e untenable. He has accordingly, notwithstanding the withdrawal of the objection at the last moment, given costs against the party making it, if it proved groundless, and the person objected to attended before him, in consequence of the notice, upon proof or admission of the hand writing of the objector. Mr. M‘Ctutints has enti tled himself to the best thanks of every elector in the kingdom for the rules he has established, which if duly followed and acted on by other Learned Gen tlemen, as no doubt they will be, must have the effect of preventing very serious inconvenience to great num bers, and the temporary disfranchisement of many duly qualified persons. A Vienna letter of the 19th, in the Augsburg Ga zette says," As there is no Bourse to-day, the holders of railroad shares have been permitted to enter at the Administration of the Sinking Fund the number that they are desirous of disposing of at former prices, viz., Milan, 108, Gloggnitz, 120, Pest, 98. Yesterday MM. DE ROTHSC faILD, SENA, and ESKELER had an interview with M. DE METTERNICH, and this day with the Archduke LUDWIG." A letter from Hamburgh, of the 20th, says— " Within these last few days, a Swiss banking house of our town has suddenly sold a very great number of shares of the railway from Hamburgh to Berlin, which, notwithstanding the receipts and traffic of the railway, are always increasing, has necessarily brought down considerably the price of shares. In quiries having been made into the causes of this bale, in some respects a forced one, it has been ascertained that the banking-house had acted on behalf of the College of Jesuits of Fribourg (Switzerland), and that that establishment had for a long time carried on frightful gambling in most of the stock which is negotiated on the Bourse of Hamburgla." A letter from Naples, dated the 19th inst., says— "The success of the insurgents in Calabria is con firmed. Every day fresh communes declare in favour of the movement, and reinforce the bands of the in surgents. The greater part of the coast connected with the principal towns which are in insurrection has also declared in their power. A sanguinary con flict has taken place between the bands of Romeo and the royal troops commanded by General Nunziante, who has five battalions under his orders. Upwards of 300 of the King's soldiers were either killed or taken prisoners ; amongst the dead were found a colonel and a captain. On their side the insurgents had also a good number killed or taken prisoners. After this affair, Romeo sent to propose to General Nunziante an exchange of prisoners, but he replied that it was too late, as the prisoners who had fillen into his power had been at once shot. Romeo in reprisal had the prisoners taken by hi'i men also put to death. The tactics of Romeo appear to be to advance constantly, organizing the insurrection in all the districts he pas9es through, respecting in all cases the property and persons of the inhabitants. It is these continual marches which the Govern ment journal calls a flight before the King's troops. The Government has sent moveable columns into Ca labria and the other provinces where it is afraid that the insurrection may spread. As I have already stated, General Stratella has assumed the command in-chief of the Calabrian troops. It is stated that the King has disapproved of the executions ordered by General Nunziante ; but the latter has alleged in his justification that orders were sent him by which he was enjoined to have every insurgent, taken with arms in his hand, put to death. It is very difficult for me to make you acquainted with what is passing in Sicily ; no letter reaches us, and no one can at tempt, without compromising himself, to penetrate the mystery in which the Government envelopes all its acts in this country." It is reported that the insurgents of Calabria have again occupied Reggio, and put to death a detach ment of 140 men of the royal army, commanded by a superior officer, who fell in their hands. 'A letter from Rome states that the Prince DE CANINO has been struck off the list of the National Guard of that city. According to a rumour in circu lation, this measure was adopted in consequence of some violent and indiscreet language by the Prince in favour of the establishment of one general mo narchy in Italy, with a view to give assurance to the Liberals in France. M. GALETTI, an officer of the National Guard, M. Mau, and Mr. 111ACBEAN, an Englishman, are said to have been placed under arrest at their houses for having uttered shouts in favour of national liberty in front of the house of the Austrian Ambassador. A letter from Venice of the 17,h says,—" It was Count FIQUELMONT, who applied for the order to send the Prince DE CANINO away from Venice. The Viceroy wished to prevent the necessity of such a measure. Three Commissaries waited on the Prince, and presented to him his passport. The Prince said he expected what had occurred, but that before leav ing he would offer them a souvenir. He then gave to each a pontifical cockade." A supplement to the Felsineo of Bologna contains an account of some disturbances which took place there on the 15th and 16th inst. As the Felsineo does not state what was the occasion of these trouble:, it is impossible for us to divine the motive of them Letters, which we receive from Leghorn, would lead us to suppose that the movement at Bologna was caused by the presence of the Prince DE CANtrio, whom an order of the Austrian police had recently enjoined to quit Venice. We cannot in any way answer for this version ; we can only state, according to the Felsineo, that the National Guard has shown itself much opposed to this manifestation ; that the troops of the line were obliged to interfere; and several arrests have been effected. We find in the Alba, of the 20th, a pastoral letter of the Archbishop of FLORENCE to his clergy, dated the 16th, in which, after expressing his satisfaction at the fraternal concord displayed by the clergy in unit ing with the people to convey, by the public demon stration of the 12th, their sentiments of loyalty and gratitude to the Prince for his liberal and enlightened measures, he directs the insertion, during eight days, of the first prayer, pro gratiarum actione, in the so lemnity of mass ; and concludes with an exhortation to follow in the spirit of the immortal Pius IX., who from the chair of PETER, the Apostle and King, offers the most luminous examples of religious and civil wisdom. It is stated in a letter from Turin, that the commercial treaty of 1751 between Austria and Sardinia is to be annulled, and a new treaty en tered into, in which .the two states will make mntual concessions. The republic of San Marino has just experienced a change. This little country, hemmed in on all sides by the states of the Church, has always pre served its independence. It contains about 7,000 inhabitants, engaged in agr i cu l ture. Its govern ment composed of two c a pt a i n - regents, charged is with the executive power, a secretary of state for foreign affairs, another for home matters, and a council of state. The latter body has just been con verted into a chamber of representatives, named by all the inhabitants, and it has declared that its delibera• tions are to be public. Madrid journals of the 22d have arrived. Colonel GUERRA arrived at Madrid on the 21st. He was the bearer of a letter to her MAJESTY from ESPARTERO, in which the Duke of VICTORY ex presses his warm gratitude towards her MAJESTY, and his anxious desire to defend her rights and inte rests. The QUEEN received the letter in the most gra cious manner. Don FRANCISCO DE and his daughter have arrived at Burg Granja for a ftt7; n ays, "' BULWER has gone to La It t said that the intrigues which hate been set on foot for the overthrow of the new Cabinet are on the point of succeeding, General SERRANO having been bought over by the Afrancesado party.

The Carlist insurrection in Catalonia is progressing. The Carlists no longer appear in bandi of tens and twenties. They now take the field in hundreds and fight pitched battles. The Carlist chief VILLELA, re cently appeared at the head of between 500 and 600 insurgents between Canons and Morali ; he was attacked and defeated by a detachment of the QUEEN'S troops, but not until after a long and severe struggle. Engagements between the QUEEN'S troops and thp Carlists, are, it is saul, taking place every day in dif ferent parts of Catalonia. We have received the Piais papers of Monday. The Moniteur publishes the following royal or dinance : " Desiring to give to the Marshal Duke de Dal matie a testimony of our satisfaction commensurate with the great services which he has rendered us, and the distinction cf his glorious career, v+e have ordained and do ordain as follows: Art. 1. The Mar shal Duke de Dalmatie is nominated Marshal General of France." The or3inance is dated Saint Cloud, the 26th. The Moniteur also contains the following note in reference to it :—" The KING, in conferring on the Marshal Duke DE DALMATIE the honorary title of Marhal General of France, has done for him what was done in 1660 for Marshal TURENNE, and in 1732 for Marshal de VILLARS—a merited recom pense of their great services and their glorious careers." The Dibats gives, by way of leader, a resume of the opinions expressed in England on the conduct of the Bank during the present crisis. The Constitutionnel has a long article on the Re form movement, and we are rejoiced to find that the secret of accomplishing reforms by peaceful andfcon stitutional means alone is so well understood on the other side of the Channel. Let the Reformers of France proceed as they have begun, and success is certain. Brute force is impotent against such a movement ; the only danger they have to fear is that spies may be sent amongst them to endeavour to compromise them, by using violent language, and by inciting them to tumult. Let them remember the advice of O'CONNELL, the apostle of peaceful agita tion, and at once give into the custody of the autho rities any person who may attempt to incite them to the commission of illegal acts. The article in the Constitutionnel thus concludes:— " The many indignities and turpitudes of the Ministerial policy have aroused a public feeling in France, and thousands of independent voices are raised to brand what no one, at least openly, dare praise or defend. Even the most intelligent Conser vatives at length comprehend that it is dangerous for France, dangerous for her institutions, dangerous for the monarchy itself, to remain whelmed in the sink into which we have been cast, and that in order to extricate ourselves it is necessary to act at once, both upon men and things. On one part the dismissal of a deplorable and baleful Ministry, arid on the other part an electoral arid parliamentary reform, are the only means of salvation for the institu tions and the monarchy. This is proclaimed by the manifestoes of the reformists, and by nearly the totality of the press—this is what every true citizen must repeat by every organ at his command. It is, no doubt, extremely difficult to wrest reform of abuses from those who profit by them, and to obtain the modification of the law of 1831 by deputies or by electors who convert it to their own profit, as if it were a field or a manufactory. Nevertheless, this not impossible if the country raises its voice, and if the influence of public opinion comes to counter balance private interests. We have before said, and it is well for us to repeat, that it was the citizens of London, and not the Whig Ministry, who, in the year 1830, suppre , sed the rotten boroughs—it was not Sir Robert Peel, but Mr. Cobden, who, in 1846, repealed the corn-laws. On these occasions and on many others the Ministry and the Ministerial majo rity received the impulse instead of giving it—obeyed public opinion instead of directing it. Why should it not be in France as it has been in England ? Let not the example given by Paris, ' by Colmar, by Stras bourg, by Rheims, by S o i ssons , by Bar-le-Duc, be lost upon the rest of F rance , an d let the west, and the south, and the centre of the kingdom respond to the noble appeal made to them from the east and the north. For several days the Ministry and the system have been personified under a name renowned by talent, but which has now become as notorious for political corruption as it was formerly for national defection. This is the time or never to make a last effort to release France from an odious yoke, and restore the principles of our two revolutions which have been forgotten or trodden under foot." The controversy on the appointment of the Due D'AUMALE is continued, and with the exception of the two avowed organs of the Ministry, viz., the Journal des Debats and the Conservateur, it is uni versally condemned. Even the courtly and dynastic Presse condemns it. " The nomination of the Due D'AUMALE is," says the Presse, " an imprudence and a fault. It is a fault, becanse it creates requirements to which it is certain the Prince, as Governor-General , cannot attain ; it is a fault, becau se it exposes t h e Cabinet to attacks against which it will be difficult for it defend itself ; it is a fault, because it will give the Opposition advantages which one must be blind not to foresee; it is a fault above all, because if the Duc D'AUMALE is not more skilful or more lucky than Marshal CLAUSEL, Marshal VALLEE, and Mar shal may the d father,o whatever the Mi n i s t er i a l responsibility will be reached by th e f a il ure unu , of the son." The National has an article on the state of the French navy, in which it accuses the Government of apathy and of a misapplication of the public resources voted for the service of the marine. It says— " Under Louis XVI. we had a fleet of 185 ships of the line or frigates. The Revolution and the Empire, after many combats, which were often unfortunate, but never without glory, left 65 ships to the Restora tion, without speakil: ieve go ri f t f i r el ig e , s a s t , e t s. he G ln ove l r B n 3 n o ;eri b t ef w e a re , the Revolution of July, the num b er o f s hi ps a fl oat was reduced to 33 ; able to arm 125 vessels of war for the expedition against Algiers, without any of our stations suffering from this extraordinary armament. In 1840 the Govern ment succeeded in arming a fleet of 20 ships of the line ; hut to do that our stocks had to be exhausted, our arsenals emptied ; and it will not be forgotten that an admiral, whose authority is free from sus picion, has since written that a disputed victory would have been equivalent for us to a disaster, for we should not have been able, he said, to repair our injuries. At present, in 1847, it is impossible for us to have more than 15 ships of the line at sea. The budget of the Marine, however, has a l mos t t r i p l e d f rom 50,000,000 f , hich it was in 1820, it is now carried to about 140,000,000 f., and yet our dockyards, our stores, and our arsenals, are empty." All these assertions, however, must be taken cum granis. That there has been a vast deal of embezzle ment and peculation, and misapplication of the public money in the naval, in common with other branches of the public service in France, there cannot be a doubt, neither can there be a doubt but that, so far from the dockyards, stores, and arsenals being empty, they are well stored with all the munitions of war, and that the French navy is in a very effective state. The meaning of articles of this nature is evident. It is wished to put other nations off their guard. We hope, however, that our own naval authorities will not be induced by any absurd reports of the ineffi ciency of the French navy, to relax for one moment in their exertions to place and to maintain our own navy in an efficient condition. The Courrier Francais has the following:— "We have to state a grave and significant fact. It is stated that intelligence has arrived at Algiers that an English agent, Mr. Saint Leger, formerly attached to the consulate of Tangiers, was at the camp of Abd el-Kader, charged with a private mission. He fol lowed all the movements of the Emir, and kept up a regular correspondence with the Governor of Gibral tar, by the medium of the English consular agent at Tetuan. An English schooner, serving to convey this correspondence, was passing incessantly from one of these ports to the other." In the invention of this fable there is less tact than is usually exhibited by the anti-English portion of the French press. It would, perhaps, be as em barrassing for England as for France were ABD-EL• KADER to conquer the Emperor of Moaocco. It is for our interest that ADERRAHMAN should be successful and powerful. He is our ally, bound to us by ai i. ens treaties, and therefore it is to suppose that the English authorities are blind to their own in terests to suppose that they would assist ABD-EL KADER against the Emperor of illoaocco. In the same journal we find the following intelli gence from Greece : " A letter from Athena states that the day after the death of M. Coletti a very serious discussion arose respecting the choice of his political successor. The English Chargé d'Affaires (Sir Edmund Lyons) having heard that the King, at the suggestion of M. liscatery, appeared inclined to invest M. Ragas alamides, Minister of the Interior, with the Yresi- dency of the Council, waited on his Majesty, and notified to him that the appointment of that personage, a declared enemy of England, would give much displeasure to the Government of Great Britain. That declaration had greatly em barressed the Greek Cabinet. Strange rumours hare reached us respecting the last moments of the unfortunate Minister We shall probably soon know the conversation that passed between him and the King a few moments before Greece lost so pure and courageous a citizen. Coletti died despairing of the accomplishment of his work, and if it be proved that he expired before his hour wms come, it will he easy to point out what Government of civilized Europe was accountable for his untimely end. Yes, Coletti despaired of his work. He no longer relied on the support of France. The cowai dice of our Govern ment redoubled the pain of his agony. He beheld his country left withaQt protection, and ,bandoned to the intrigues of the English Cabinet—that shameless and merciless creditor. His eyelids were scarcely closed when King Otho wrote to the Czar to demand his intervention against the Porte, which was excited by England. This fact is certain. It has been communicated to us by a cor respondent ix's° cannot and would not deceive us. Alas! if it be true that on his death-bed Coletti gave King Otho such an ads ice—if it be true that he saw DO salvation for his country except in Russian inter vention—what a disgrace it cs ill he for the France of July. But the France of July is governed by M. Guizot, and M. Guizot, who has repudiated Poland, who insulted her in her last struggle for independ ence, who in the question of Holstein betrayed German liberty, whose contracted policy has roused against us the hatred of liberal Spain, who ridicules in the Journal des Debuts the endeavours making by Italy to effect her social regeneration—M. Guizot, we say, little heeds the anguish of Greece and the despair of Coletti at that supreme moment !" The Presse has the following on the subject of the loan : "It was reported yesterday that the Minister of Finance had positively announced to several Members of the Chamber of Deputies that the loan would be indefinitely postponed, and that he had found means to procure resources until the spring. The formation of a committee of receivers-general, with M. Dela haute as president, to centralise the resources which these gentlemen can offer to the Treasury until the loan is effected, was also spoken of. The Minister, it is said, in order to do without the loan until spring, reckons on the disposable resources of the Bank of France, of the Caisse de Depots et Consignations, and of the receivers-generals." General PRl➢i has left Paris for Catalonia ; General AMETTLER continues to reside in the French capital.

FOURTEEN DAYS LATER FROM AMERICA, OCCUPATION OF MEXICO BY GENERAL SCOTT.—ARMISTICE BETWEEN MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. By the steam-ship Caledonian, which arrived at Liverpool this morning, we have received New York papers to the 15th instant. The intelligence from Mexico is most important. General Scott, after fighting two severe battles under the walls of Mexico, succeeded in capturing the city. An armistice was demanded by the Mexicans, and acceded to by General Scott ; and when the last ac counts came away, it was considered probable that Mr. Trist's proposition for peace would be enter tained. The following is from the extra of the New York Sun of Sept. 10: By another of the Sun's extraordinary expresses from New Orleans to New York, we have received intelligence that the City of Mexico has been taken by General Scott, after having fought two great battles with the enemy. Our messenger came all the way through to Philadelphia, the telegraph south of that city being out of order. He brings the news in a copy of the Picayune of the 3.1 instant. The news was received at Vera Cruz on the 27th ult., just in time for the steamer Fashion, which sailed immediately for New Orleans, stopping at Tampico on the 29th. This is the most important intelligence received from the war quarter since the commencement of hostilities. Our arms have, as in every other in stance, been victorious. After two severe engage ments, almost under the very walls of the city. of Mexico, our troops have entered and taken the city in ,riumph. So soon as the fortune of the day was decided, the Mexicans begged for peace—that our army should not enter the city—but General Scott replied that they were too late in their application. The Mexicans have been brought to tents and now supplicate a suspension of arms. General Scott has granted an armistice ! Congress has been convoked to take into considera tion the peace propositions submitted by Mr. Trist. . _ The above news was received in Vera Cruz on the evening of the 26th of August, by our express carrier from Orizaba. Our express courier brought down a letter to Mr, Dimond, the consul at Vera Cruz. We are indebted to Mr. Dimond f,,r the use of this jotter. It is substantially as follows : Orizaba, Aug. 25, 1847. My dear Friend,—The Mexican mail, which has just come in, brought the following intelligence, which I copy from the Diaro Official del Gobierno,a great importance. I send you this express courier, which will be with you to-morrow about twelve o'clock. On the 20th two brigades, commanded by General Valencia and Santa Anna, went out to attack the Americans near Las Calm de San Angel. Valencia's division has been completely defeated, and Santa Anna, after the first encounter, fell hack also in disorder to the city. They immediately after this asked for a sus pension of hostilities, and offered to hear the propo sitions of peace from Mr. Trist. Another express arrived in Vera Cruz on the 20th, with letters containing the same news in sub stance, and the following translation of the announce ment of it in the Diario Del Goberno. Translated from the Diario official Del Gobierno of the 20th of August, General Scott's troops, who intended marching on Pinon, turned at and arrived near Tacubaya. As soon as the news was known at Mexico, Valencia's division went out to attack the Ameri cans at Los Lianas De San Angel, and were coin pletely routed. Next came Santa Anna with another division, which shared the same fate. After some hard fighting the Mexicans retreated to the capital in great disorder, and such was the panic created by their defeat that the Minister of Foreign Relations immediately convoked the Con gress to take into consideration Mr. Trist's proposi tion. A suspension of arms was demanded. The next day the Minister of Foreign Relations invited the next Congress, through the newspapers, to meet for that purpose. These are the great facts which, no doubt, will bring after them peace. It is now suppo , ed that the extraordinary courier which left Vera Cruz for Mexico on the 12th ult., a day in advance of the regular English courier, was the bearer of instructions to the British Minister to offer again his mediation, and we think we may safely say that he was instructed to do so if possible before I Genkral Scott entered the capiial. We believe the instructinni were positive, and no doubt they were obeyed, having absolute confidence in this reprebentation of the acts of the English Go• vernment. We think it reasonable to suppose that General Scott was influenced by a knowledge of this media tion to trust once again to the efforts of Mr. Trist to negotiate a peace, and so assured the Mexicans the humiliation of the armed occupation of their capital ; his characteristic humanity may also be presumed to have strongly influenced him to save Mexico. We may recur to this point and to the prospects of peace which some may now entertain. We have given none of the rumours current in Vera Cruz as to the fall of Mexico—they are evidently founded on imperfect rumours of the real state of facts. The rumours circulated here that Santa Anna and Valencia were taken prisoners, we believe are totally un founded. No couriers from General Scott's army direct have been able to get through, so far as we can learn, but from the foregoing statement it is manifest that General Scott holds the city of Mexico at his corn malid, that General Scott did not want to enter the city is manifest ; he was doubtless deterred from en tering it by a desire to save the pride of the Mexicans, when upon the eve of important nfgotiations, from the violence of a hostile occupation. We are informed from a respectable source that Major Lally is known to have passed Perote, and been on his way in safety to Puebla ; he made some stay in Jalapa. The Boletin, of Jalapa, says that Major Lally's train, after having been attacked at Cerro Gordo retired to the plain, at the same time the guerillas also retired; on the following day the train commenced marching for Jalapa, that the guerillas would attack our troops near that place, and all the evening the road for near a mile was covered with men, women, and children, whom curiosity had attracted there, this gave rise to firing of cannon and musketry from our troops, and the citizens succeeded in reaching their homes without receiving any injury. " The guerillas are said to have numbered 350 ; the fire commenced at half-past five o'clock, and lasted but a short time ; at night tranquil lity prevailed in the city, and a party of mounted men from the train entered the city and passed through the principal streets, at the same time guerillas were seen near by. The Boletin says that the loss on the side of the guerillas was small. At eleven o'clock on the 19th, Major Lally inquired of the Alcade whether the citizens of Jalapa would commit hostilities againr the Americans if they en tered or not, to which the Alcade answered that the population was unarmed, but that a number of gue rillas being in the neighbourhood he would not take the responsibility of their actions. On the morning of the 20th the train of waggons and the troops entered the city. The Boletin says that the waggons are filled with sick and wounded. Yesterday, the 24 h ult., it was rumoured in Vera Cruz that Father Jaran:a Lad attacked the train a short distance the other side of Jalapa, but that he had been driven back by our troops with loss on both sides. Intelligence reached Colonel Wilson, on the morn ing of the 27th ult., that Lieutenant David Hender son, of Captain Fairchild's company of Dragoons, and his party, %1 ho were sent out by Captain Wells on the 15th of August to apprise Major Lally of the approach of reinforcements, were all shot by the guerillas. There is little or no doubt of this sad intelligence. Lieutenant Henderson was a resident of New Orleans, and recently embarked as a volunteer in his country's service—he was a printer by profession —a man of courage and enterprise, and his fate will be sincerely lamented by his numerous friends. An express arrived from Alvarado to Commander Perry with information that the guerillas had at tacked that place the night before and killed a sur geon and two marines in that town. The steamers I'etrita and Scorpion were imme diately dispatched to reinforce those in possession of the place. Interments at New Orleans, from yellow fever, on the 2d instant, 77 ; Charity Hospital, 14 ; La fayette, 14. (From the New York True Sun of the lath.) The following highly important and exciting intel ligence was yesterday morning transmitted to the city by telegraph from Philadelphia, where it was received by a special train from Baltimore, which city it reached in advance of the mail by the Mobile and New Orleans merchants' express line to Montgomery. It will be seen that the intelligence is somewhat confused, and some of it smacks strongly of exag geration and excitement. The news was received at New Orleans on the 3d instant, by the steamer Fashion, from Vera Cruz 27th ult. It is the most important that has been received for some months. The most material points in it are the advance of our army to the city of Mexico, where two brave triumphs were achieved by our aimy under the walls of the city; that the Mexicans have been brought to terms, and now supplicate a suspension of arms—and General Scott has granted it. The Mexican Congress has been convoked to take into consideration Mr. Trist's propositions. The news was received in Vera Cruz on the even ing of the 26th ult., by an express courier from Ori zaba, who brought down the following letter to Mr. Dimond, the Collector of Vera Cruz, to whose cour tesy we are indebted for its use ORIZABA, AUG. 25, 1847. "My dear Friend,—The Mexican mail, which has just come in, brought the following intelligence, bich I copy from thu Diario Official del Gobierno. I send you this by an cypress courier, who will be with you to-morrow about twelve o'clock. " On the 20th, two bri.cades, commanded by Gene rals Valencia and Santa Anna, went out to attack the Americans near Los Llanos des Angel. " Valencia's division has been completely defeated, and Santa Anna, after the first rencontre, fell back also in disorder to the city—they immediately aftar this asked fur a suspension of hostilities, and offered to hear the propositions of peace from Mr. Trist. " The next day the Minister of Foreign Relations invited the next Congress, through the newspapers, to meet for that purpose. " These are the great facts, which, no doubt, will bring after them peace.—Yours truly, " F. M. DIMOND." Another express arrived in Vera Cruz on the 26th ult. with letters containing the same news in sub stance, and the following translation of the announce ment of it in the Diario Del Gobierno : (Translated from the Diaro del Gobierno.) General Scott's troops, who intended marching on Penon, turned at and arrived at Tacurbava. As soon as the news was known at Mexico, Va lencia's division went out to attack the Americans at Los Llanos de San Angel, and were completely routed. Next came Santa Anna, with another division, which shared the same fate. After some fighting, the Mexicans retreated to the capital in great disorder; and such was the panic created by their defeat that the Minister of Foreign Relations immediately convoked the Congress, to take into consideration Mr. Trist's proposition. A suspen sion of arms was demanded by the Mexicans, and granted. The Americans are around Mexico, but had not entered the city on the 21st. Such are the meagre details which we have of these important events. No couriers from General Scott's army direct have been able to get through, so far as we can learn, but from the foregoing statement it is manifest that General Scutt holds the city of Mexico at his command. That General Scott did not choose to enter the city is ma❑ifest ; he was doubtless deterred from entering it by a desire to save the pride of the Mexicans, when upon the eve of important negotia tions. It is now supposed that the extraordinary c our i er which left Vera Cruz for Mexico on the 12th, a day in advance of the regular English courier, was the bearer of instructions to the British Minister to offer again his in,diation, and we think we may safely say Vila he was ins`ructed to do if possible before General Scott entered the capital.

The most authentic account we have yet seen of the battles under the walls of the city of Mexico• is contained in the following extract from a letter to the N. 0. Commercial Bulletin, dated at Vera Cruz, Aug. 27 : The house of Harguos and Co. received a courier yesterday frons their partner, who is at the capital, who, in a few hurried lines, says that General Scott was before the city. There had been an attack made on a portion of the American army, but the Mexicans were repulsed with great loss. "iProposals had been sent to Gen.
