-- repear, Luau 1G is rue uuuy or r.nglana auu
France to suffer no movement of the great_ Northern
Powers to pas§ unnat'c'ed. The tone of the articles
in the Journal de nkfrt convinces us that
these Powers are bent upon he adoption of some pro,
ceeding which may involve all Europe in a general
war. 'We hardly know whether we ought not to re-
joice at the prospect of such an event. It would clear
the political atmosphere ; and as it would be a war of
principle, we should then see whether liberalism or
despotism would prevail in Europe. One thing is
very certain. An European war would break up the
Russian Empire, and divide it into as many in-
dependent States as it now numbers Provinces.
Austria too would suffer from partition. Hungary,
Gallicia, and the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, would
each unfurl an independent flag. Prussia would lose
the Grand Duchy of Posen, which in all probability
would revert to Poland. How it would affright
NICHOLAS, were he certain that in the heart of his
vast empire the Republics of Cracow and Novo-
ro od were doomed to start into a renewed exist-
ence before the expiration of half a quarter of a
century ! And yet such an event is not more impro-
bable than some which have occurred even within the
memory of the present generation. Witness what has
taken place in France—yea, even in a land now forced
11 to become an integral part of the Russian Empire. By
sending a fleet into the Black Sea, and taking posses-
' session of the Gulf of Finland, England might take
ample vengeance for all that Turkey has endured, and
prevent for ever all she is likely to suffer from the
treachery of the CZAR.
We will return to this subject.

His Majesty's brig Water-Witch, Captain DREW,
arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday morning, in three
days, from Bilboa. She brought despatches from
Lord J. HAY, which were sent off instantly to Lon-
don. They are of a very important nature. The
Water-Witch brings intelligence of the following cir-
cumstances :—lt appears that Lieutenant PIKE had
been sent on shore to Bilboa from the Castor for de-
spatches, and that he was taken prisoner by the Car-
lists. Mr. BARLOw, the second master of the Royalist,
on learning this, sent a boat armed to the Castor, to
inform Lord J. HAY of the occurrence ; but the Car-
lists fired at them, killed two men, and wounded five
others. Lieutenant PIKE was liberated about two
hours afterwards. Lord J. HAY then despatched the
Water- Witch, in order that our Government might be
informed of the circumstances, and that he might re-
ceive orders as to his future course.

The Rev. Messrs. M‘GHEE and O'SULLIVAN
have, after a short recess, recommenced their old trade
of blackening and vilifying wholesale the Catholic reli-
gion, and all those who adopt its tenets. At the city
of Hereford last week, these notorious agitators ma-
naged to get up, what they call, a " Great Protestant
Meeting," at which they spouted such a prodigious
quantity of nonsense, as would be perfectly incredible,
had we not been previously aware of their singular ca-
pacity for making fools of themselves, by their recent
exhibitions at Exeter Hall. We suppose it is their
intention, now that the Session is ended, to tramp,
like mountebanks, throughout the country, and get up
an Exhibition wherever they can meet with people dis-
posed to attend it. If so, we will venture to predict that
they will pretty soon find their way to the Stocks, as a
couple of itinerant mountebanks who can give no good
account of themselves. It is not, indeed, to be en-
dured, that such men should be allowed to go about
with impunity, and set decent folks by the ears toge-
ther, by appealing to what yet remains in the provinces,
of prejudice and bigotry ! The local Magistracy should
look to it. It is a question to be settled by the Black
Hole.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday have been re-
ceived. They bring important intelligence. The
Peers with only twenty dissentients, passed the Bill
for abolishing the liberty of the Press, without a
single amendment. Their Lordships are in haste
to assume the functions of Jurors as well as
Judges. France must now look to itself. The last
security which it had against despotism is now utterly
abolished.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
New York Papers to the 21st August, Charlestown to the
13th August, and Madras to the 26th April, have been re-
ceived at the_ North and South American Coffeehouse.
(From the Charleston Papers.)
The following is an extract of a Proclamation, issued at
Louisville on July 28 :—" Whereas great excitement prevails
amongst the citizens, produced by the presence of a number
of persons called Gamblers, whose offensive pursuits, it is
said, have caused their expulsion from other places ; and
whereas it is known to me, that strong and violent measures
are contemplated and recommended to the citizens, for the
purpose of compelling those persons immediately to quit the
city : now, therefore, be it known that, to obtain the end
proposed, the City Council have, by a resolution, authorized
me to call to the aid of the police one hundred effective men ;
in addition to which I am authorized to say, that five hun-
dred citizens are ready, at any moment, to render personal aid
to the authorities of the City, in support of such measures
as may be deemed necessary to protect the inhabitants.

W. DAV IE S, Mayor."
The Charleston papers also contain an account of an exten-
sive fire in Cleveland ( Ohio), on the night of the 30th July,
by which a considerable portion of the business part of the
town was destroyed-16 to 20 buildings, including the Bank
of Cleveland.
