and Foreign Review," "The People of Russia and the Policy
of England," and several other works have been received,
and shall be noticed in our next publication.

TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 2, 1836.

The New York Herald, of July 6th, contains the fol-
lowing information from the seat of war. It appears
that the Texian affairs are likely to prove as tedious in
their settlement as those of Belgium have been under
Lord Palmerston's celebrated piotocolling system.

" Charleston dates to Friday last have been received, but
contain nothing important from the seat of war. The Mont..
rnnerY Advertiser says that the Indians cannot hold out much
longer being surrounded on all sides.
" The intelligence from Texas is interesting. The Mexican
government have determined to prosecute the Texian war, and
an expedition under Gen. Cotoza, 5000 strong, had arrived a
Salnillo ; and another of 3000 strong was to have embarked at
Vera Cruz for Capano in June. Gen. Filisola had received
orders to cease retreating, and to oppose the Texians in con-
junction with Gen. Urrea, who is now in Metarnoras with 3000
men. Gen. Urrea has been appointed generalissimo of the
Mexican forces. It is said he is required to raise an army of
15,000 men, and that 16,000 dols. had been subscribed for that
object in a single day in the city of Mexicce"

The accounts from the north of Spain are entirely in
favour of the Carlists.

Bernelle, like Evans, has been signally beaten in an
attempt upon Estella ; and Villareal has dispersed Cor-
dova's army of reserve in the valley of Mona.
In Catalonia, Mina has issued a new exterminating
decree of a most atrocious character; yet the vilifiers of
Don Carlos are the especial admirers of the " illustrious.
Mina."

The French have just been celebrating their Revolu-
tion of the Three Days by sundry melancholy exhibitions
of foolery which they nickname fetes. There was no
Review. Louis Philippe dares not show himself in pub-
lic. What a delightful thing it is to be a "popular"
king !

We are extremely glad to see that the Bishop of Exeter
has caused an amendment to be inserted in the Dissen-
ters' Marriage Bill, giving to the conjugal vow some-
thing like a Christian character. This, of course, will
be loudly objected to by the " conscientious," especially
as it comes from a bishop, and should it pass into law,
there is no saying what the effects may be. It may be
preiumed, however, that these people will continue to
marry ; and it must be a great consolation to them to
know that there is no law to prevent them from protest-
ing against being compelled to observe the external
forms of religious propriety.

In the House of Lords on Friday night Lord Mel-
bourne moved the second reading of the English Church
Bill that was the cause of so much commotion in tlx
Radical and Dissenting host, and spoke of it with much,
approbation, giving a decided negative to the assertions
of the ministerial journals with regard to it. The Bill
will pass without alteration.,

The prorogation of Parliament will' take place on or
about the 18th instant. Preparations are already on
foot in the public offices.

The Irish Tithe bill passed the Peers on Thursday
night, as amended in committee, without remark from
either side of the house, and has been sent to the Com-
mons, by whom it will be taken into consideration this
1).
evening. The silence of the conservatives was, of courser •
a consequent of the silence of the O'Connell NlinistrY.
and their friends; and we must suppose that they sai3
nothing because they felt that they had not a single ef-
fective argument in favour of that which has bee°
expunged. Lord Melbourne knows, as well as any mall
in the King's dominions, that the assumed surplus is a
mere fudge. Lord Lyndhurst and Sir Robert Peel ha"
proved, over and over again, that there is none; that
there cannot be any surplus, if iustice be done to the
clergy; that, if there were a surplus, it ought not to be
applied in the manner proposed by Ministers, namely-, t°
the pockets of the papist priests in very many of the
parishes where the protestant population is scanty, which
;
would be the effect of the government proposition. All
that Lord Melbourne can possibly muster for the occasion
is, that he and his colleagues are pledged—meaning that
they are pledged to O'Connell as the price of his suPP°r.,
—to the "principle of appropriation ;" and to that Of%
had determined, he said, to adhere. The principle !
lordship should have said the juggle of appropriatio.r
and that he and his colleagues adhere to it because tileal t
places depend upon that adhesion ;—it is at once meat
and drink to them; their stock in trade, their all in
all;
without it they have not even a decent pretence for co",
tinning to cumber the Treasury benches. ill the
