the necessity of moderating his pretensions, in
order to put himself and France in the right, should
the Four Powers proceed to extremities ; but it
appears that the VICEROY was intracticable, and
refused to abate one jot of his claims.

The Alai. at Boulogne is still the subject of nu-

We have given in another part of the Paper ex-
tracts from American Journals,, and a . letter from
our Correspondent at Halifax, received by the
Britannia steamer from Boston. This vessel ar-
rived at Liverpool from Halifax in ten days,
having made the passage in the shortest
time on record. We have also given an ac-
count of the festival at Boston to celebrate the
formation of the Boston Company for steam
communication between tLat poit and Liverpool
and our leaders will be gratified to find that the
feeling displayed on the occasion was in the highest
degree flattering to Old Englard. New York
and Boston are now rivals in communicating with
the mother coutur) ; and it is a singular circum-
stance that the two vessels which maned on the
same day, the first of August, should have arrived
on the :._aine day in England. We bad the first
accounts from Liverpool, owing to the facilities
afforded to our Correspondent there by the agents
1 for the Boston Company, Messrs. M•lvEtt and Co.

Yesterday morning M. Pasquier, M. de Cases, and M
Franck Carre, went to the C.,ntiergerie to examine the
persons concerned in the affair of Boulogne, who had al.
ready arrived at Paris.
It was yesterday asserted at the Luxembourg, salsa jour-
nal, that the proceedings in the affair of Louis Bonaparte
may commence before the Court of Peers on the 15th of
next month.
Preparations are making to arm the numerous forts
along our coasts in the Channel. A supern.r t ificer of
engitie.rs has been sent to Boulogne, and has already
visited several of them. These torts, in their present con-
dition, could not make any defence, most of the facing of
the masonry having fallen into the ducat's.
It is in contemplation, in the Marine department, to

The un-ENlish feeling which dictated the pub-
lication in the first leading article of the Morning
Post of Saturday, of an alleged communication
from a Foreign Correspondent, suggesting to
Fiance the must drectuai %lay of annoy mg Eitg•
land in the event of hostilities being resolved upon,
has excited very general di%Ylist in the highest Tory
as well as Whig circles of the metropolis. In in-
stances where, peradventure, the Post looks for ex-
clusive patronage, the greatest surprise has been
excited that a Journal could be found in the
British empire base enough thus to devote its
columns to the directing an enemy how to inflict a
mortal blow upon the proud pre-eminence of " Old
England." It was reserved for the Post to demon-
strate that the rancour of faction may extinguish,
even in an English bosom, the love of country—
that there is one Tory at least, who, to oust the
MELBOURNE Cabinet, would witness with plea-
sure the landing of 100,000 Frenchmen on
the coast of Kent, and the waving of the
tri-colour on the highest pinnacle of the
Tower of London. The Post's "Distinguished Cor-
respondents," domestic and foreign, are a truly
fiendish brood. The former poisoned the very
fountain of public opinion in France, and by the
vilest and most irritating taunts, all but provoked a
war between the two countries ; the latter, with
equal malevolence, indicates the way in which the
vitals of England may be reached by the sword of
France !

German Papers, of the latest dates have just
reached us. The Leipsic Gazette brings some
accounts of strange doings at Constantinople, the
particulars of which will be found in another
column. The following paragraphs include the
latest general news in these papers :
VIENNA. AUG. 7.—Count St. Aulaire did not set out
for K•oiii,gsborg till to-day at noon, in order to confer
with Prince Metternich, who is now there, on the turn
which the negotiatiuns on the Eastern qw•stion has taken.
His Excelluncy, it is said, entertains the fullest confidence
that the differences which have been announced with so
nvich noise may be settled in an amicable manner by the
intervention of our gnat Statesmilt.
The Papal Nuncio, Prince Altieri, is preparing to go
re it is said the Ambassadors of all
assemble.

The Post affected to doubt whether France
would adopt measures not accordant with the re-
cognised usages of international hostility. This
having recourse to an idle feint to cover the ex-
pression of unpatriotic sentiments, only adds to the
virulence of the poison. While pretending to de-
precate the views of its Correspondent, the Post is
careful to leave it to be understood that he
is a much higher authority than the Editor
even upon the morality of the very question
at issue, and still more as a prophet whose
eye penetrates the dark veil which hides the
future from the ken of ordinary mortals. In telling
us so dogmatically what France will do, the Post
aims at inculcating what she ought to do. Hitherto
England has kept war at a distance; the Post
would persuade France to make us fight for the
sanctity of our household gods upon our very
thresholds. We cannot after this point to the
ATTWOODS, the CA RGILLS, and the URQI.J-
, HA it Ts as the only persons who rejoice at the
prospect of the 'mind's:ion of England, even
should one or other of these wor,lnes figure as
a Mysterious contributor of the anti-British dia-
tribes which disgrace the columns of our fashion-
able Tory Contemporary—inasmuch as the con-
ductors of the Post must be held responsible for
communications to which such an unusual shire of

DRESDEN. Arta. s.—There is a report that his Maj'•sty
the King of Prussia will shortly have an interview at
Fischbach with Prince Metteraich.

Accounts from Berlin say that Count Malian, the
Prussian Ambassador at the Austrian Court, appears less
adverse than be was to undertake the office of Minister of
Foreign Affairs. The Embas.y to Naples seems to be
intended for Baron Von Werther. It is affirmed, on good
authority, th.t in the last fortnight of Auguit there will
be a formal Congress of Members at Kottig-burg.

We have juvt received files of the Gibraltar
Chronicle and the Malta 1 in:es of the sth of
August inclusive. The former has no news.
From the latter we extract the following late intel-
ligence from the Levant
THE NON PACIFICATION OF SYRIA —We have received
advises of the latest dates from tiu, Levant by the Dante;
from Cunsiantinoplc up to the 27t 1 Ult., from Beyrour
the 921 from Alexandria the 26th, awl from Smyrna
the '29th. The intelligence all agrees in representing
Syria as by uo means tranquil, and as ha.ing never
yet ,übmitte'd to the Government of Ibrahim. Some
villages on the coast. isolated from the main body er the
insurgents, and se receiving no support from them, alone
have submitted. The insurgents retired to their fast-
nesses on the approach of Abbas and Soliman Pashas.
Those who have submitted were bought over by the
treachery of the son of the Emir Bechir.
The anarchy of the country is complete. But the ex-
cesses of the Albanians have been stopped by the interfe-
rence of Capt. Napier, of the Powerful, who threatened to
batter down Beyrout, if their depreciationson the peaceable
inhabitants were not discontinued. The presence of Capt,
Napier's division alone prevents the whole country from be.
coming a heap of desolation.
CONSTANTINOPM—Letters have been received up to
the 27th ult. The French steamer Cocyte, arrived here
on the evening of the 17,11 in eight days from Toulon,
bringing despatches from Paris of an urgent nature, but
nothing has yet transpired. Despatches were also scut
to Alexandr;s.

RUSSIA. --The population of the north of Russia is
affil eted with a dreadful I.mine, and the Emperor has
been obliged to open his Baltic ports to the introduc-
tion of foreign corn. " Russia's pride is no longer," sap
our correspondent, " what is was, and her influence here
is far .below par. It is on this account M. Boutenieff
has been allowed to go away for awhile." Trade is very bad
at Odessa, and another English house, that of Thomas
Carruthers and Sons. has failed. Shipping is so abundant
that a Bi itisb vi sari accepted a charter at 30s. per ton,
being less than halt of the lowest figure of the usual rates.
TREBIZONDE —The last letters (up to the 15th ult.)
are satisfactory. Commercial affairs continue to be ani-
mated, and there is a great demand for English manu-
factures.
The expedition of I-1 •fiz Pacha against Keur Hus-
sein Bey has succeeded, the rebel chief having been
defeated Pau m,de prisoner. This news has diffused a
universal jay.
An English Tartar, with despateles: from Pt rain, had
been stopped and robbed, but nothing Of imp 'nonce had
been lost.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE —By the Walnier Cast/c we
have received Cape Town papers of the 27th of May.
Tile town was at that period suff •riug from the smut -
pox, though the milady had abated It. had caused
great attention to be pied to the cleansing the t,,vtin,
which may be permanently
beneficial. Complaints were
made of the dearness of bread and meat, but the colo-
iiisis rejoiced iii some copious mid refreshing r.ins in the
ca:tern province,
ash ch it was wiped would have a be-
iieficial eff•ct on prces. The Legislative Council had
been engaged in discussing a letter from Lord John
on the subject of immigration, which the Council re-
solved to encourage by the sale of waste lands.

S,Ttember next. This heieg hut a preliminary meeting
the public at large or the gentry at a distance were not
solicited to attt nd it ; notwithstanding which so numerous
a meeting, one representing the ealth, the intelligence
the industry, and the morel power of Uls.er, had not beet
seen since the memorable period of 1782, when that pro.
vince led the vin towards victory and liberty for the
entire people of Ireland.

On the ;notion of Mr Graig, seconded by Mr. Shsrmar
Crawford, the Hon. Henry Caulfield took the Chair.
The me eting was addressed in succession by Mr. Conno
Blake, the Hon. Mr. French, Mr. V. O'Connor Blake,
Mr. Blake Foster, and thi n by Mr O'Connell, the report
of whose speech oc:upied nearly three columns. Sir S.
O'Malley next addressed the meeting and concluded by
I,ropoing a complimentary resolution to Mr. O'Connell
for his services, combined with a pledge to aid the Libe-
rator in obtaining a dom-stic legislature. Lord French
sa,d that as the resolution was the voice of all Ireland, as
well as of that 111,9.!ing, he would put it to them to peas it by
acclamation. The resolution was then carried by loud aid
emitinuA acclamation J. J Bodkin, Esq , M. P., was
then called to the Chair, when the thanks of the meeting
were voted to Lord Ffrench. after which the meeting se-
parated in the most perfect order.

Wedi,esday.

AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH OF SIR JAMES WEBSTER WED-

DERBURNE, BART

T.ie demise of the above-named baronet took place a
few minutes to eleven o'clock on Thursday night, undo
most distressing c.scurnstances. About eleven o'clock h.
went int... the public house, 77 Abbey-street, accompanied
by two females There he ordered the waiter to fetch ul•
two glasses of punch for his companions. The waiter was
in the act of having the beverages prepared at the bar
hrlow when a fall, as if of some heavy substance, was
heard on the fl,►..r of the drawing-room immedi tely over
head. He stopped till the drink was got ready, and h.
proceeded with it up stairs There, on et tering the
apartment, he behel the deceased extended on the
ho.ad., all but a lifeless corpse, breathing► convul-
•vely, but without the slightest motion of the body or
I mba. I),,ctor Heron, of Sackville-street, was most
promptly in attendance—a vein was opened in one of the•
temples but all was over—the v't..l spark had fled forever.
The women were given into custody, but no blame be-
longed to them.

Yesterday en inquest was held by the Lord Mayor and
a respectable jury, when, after the examination of se-
veral witnesses, the Jury returned a verdict of " Died of
Apoplexy."
Mr. bincy, sol citor for the deceased, deposed that he
(deceased) was the plaintiff in the celebrated case oi
Wedderburne, which was tiled before the Lord Chan-
cellor of England. He gained that cause and came into
possession of upwards of four hundred thousand pounds, to-
gether with estates and property in Scotland and this
country worth more than twenty thousand a-year, and that
he was to be married in a week or so He had his pas-
sage paid to England, where he was to have gone this day
(Friday), to arrange matters previous to that event.
The body is to be sent to Scotland for interment.

D ceased appeared to be upwards of fifty years of age.
of nandsome countenance, but rather corpulebt in person.
In his walk he halted considerably, as if suffering from a
paralytic affection.
