Tusnearnin despatch*s have bun reeelved in
antiolpatlnti of the Bombay and China Mall,
with news from that Presidency to the 1171 h, and
front Hong Kong to thelth Neptember.us
Oude a body of 8,000 rebels posted on the banks
of the Ongra Inul been defeated and driven
through the river into the jungle with the loss of
Loon killed, two of the rebel leaders being, it Is
said, among the slain, In Central India the
wallor rebels were impeded to make an attempt
to ernes the Nerbudda between Mellor and

Hong Hong we learn that the negotiators from

the one recently °melodisd with the United

The question itt illoptita between the Wend;
and Partin/neap Onvernmenta as to the Wein.*
of the French hartpie Cheritia•Oeurgua has been
settled. Thu Portligintee Onvernutuitt, in *tow
pliant* with the ihniimid of Prance, hots restored
the ship and set the captain at liberty, the qiipe•
lion of indemnity being remervull for further ann.
eilloratinii, The Motiflmo, In antiniffieing this
milt, says that Portugal, having mails an at-
tentive impflry into the NM, has onlnititted to
the Just representations of the French novern•
went, which hail alainied the msturation of the
ship nu the ground that she was not engaged in
the slave trade, butt WPS merely employed to
;Jimmy Nu labourer* to the Isle of Rdutttlouu
;miler the pareunal ouperintendenee of a French
delegate. 'This resolution" Ito says, "au eon-
fortuable to equity, will obliterate every trace of
inietintlerstandhig, and will doubtless have the
effeut of restoring to the relations of both coon-
tries the eortlial ohmmeter of which they partook
before this lamentable incident," This ease has
given rise to a good deal of gratuitous argu-
mentation and suppoeititions statement of fade ;
but the truth is, that the public is but very im-
perfectly acquainted with the real nature of the
ORIO, and those journals; which have attempted
to discus. its merits, have merely done so from
the great dearth of political matter wherewith to
amuse their readers. A London contemporary,
after labouring assiduously to show that he is
master of all the eirouinstanoes of the inatter,
mu after drawing his own elaborate and sagacious
conclusions, saya:—" It is quite impossible to
pronounce a final judgment in the total absence
of anything like oireumstantial evidence on
either side ; and we withhold our own opinion
until we have the case stated with authentication
and without reserve in Parliament. According
to present appearances, it was an affair in which
the rights on both sides had been so damaged
by toolinioal irregularities, that a judicial deal-
' sion could scarcely be given." In this, and this
only, we agree with the writer ; but it is almost
a pity that so much fine writing which precedes
this almost accidental development of truth and
good sense should be thrown sway in waste.
That the dispute has been antioably settled, how-
ever, must be a source of oongratulation to all
parties ; and no doubt at the opening of Perlis-
' mint Lord Dust will be fully able to answer
the querulous oomplalnte of those who are loud
in condemning the Premier, unheard, on the
ground of an essumed dishonourable abandon-
ment of Portugal.
The Prussian Chambers on the recommenda-
tion of their joint committee, recognised on
Monday the necessity of the Regency. On the
following day the members of both Chambers as-
sembled in the Royal Palace, when the Pantos
RIOINT took the oath to the Constitution, and
thanked the Chamber, for the patriotic una-
nimity with which they had co-operated in the
establishment of the R•egenoy. The special ses-
sion WWI then declared to be closed.

may be usefully quoted here t-01 Nor were
European wars wholly without a part in

the spirit of England in resistlim the French
plan of uniting Canada with Louriana by a chain
of forts prevented the °ohmic, from being
strangled before they gained their maturity, do
that national and warlike impulses have had
their full share iii mating our beet °oilmen'
and our most perfect models. Then there are
(lined& and the British North-American Pro-
vinces, conquered from the French. Mr. Detour
says they have never paid the expenses of their
capture. As this is a question of Not we may
be allowed to differ from him, and may they have
paid them ton times over. Colonisation follow-
ing upon conquest has created a community
mainly of our own race, with all the wants of
Englishmen, taking our manufactures by mil-
lions, and affording a field for the emigration of
our poor. Australia was settled peaceably, but
only because the natives were few and sunk in
the lowest degradation ; and the Cape, taken
front the Dutch, has been an acquisition of the
highest value. With these past or present
colonies spread over the globe three-fourths of
the commerce of England talc.. place ; and we
would ask Mr. BRIOHT what would be the state
of England if his policy had been pursued from
the days of ELGIARITH to those of VICTORIA; if
Englishmen had always abstained from tropus-
log on the freeholds of the savage, and conse-
quently our race, religion, language, and man-
ners were confined to this Wand, with Ireland
still a Celtic province, and North America and
Australia untrodden wildernesses? Put the
broad question :—ls England a greater, richer,
and more highly esteemed country, in com-
parison with its neighbours, now than in the
days of MARY TUDOR 1 If it is, then the policy,
or rather instinct, of external settlement and
conquest has been a healthy one. To the ques-
tion, 'Of what use is Canada or Australia to
England r we would answer with an example
from Mr. BRIGHT'S model country,—' Of the
same use that Wisoonsin or California is to New
England.' Setting aside all considerations which
Mr. BRIGHT may oonsider sentimental, we would
say that the extension of any ram with its
habite and wants into new regions of the world
must be, and it.. been proved to be, of the
greatest finanoial advantage to the old country."
