LATER FROM ENoLANp-The steam ship Britain
MIA has. since cur last, reached Boston, bringing
dates from Liverpool twelve days later than those
previously received. There is no news by this ari.
val of special interest to our readers The Cotton
market was very dull, and without any material
change in prices. In consequence Of the arrange.
ment of the China question, the Tea merchants in
London had suffered very considerably from the
sudden fall in the prico Of the article.
The subject of paramount interest, however, was
the fate of the steamer President. This unfortu.
nate vessel had been outffom New York forty days
when the Britannia left Liverpool, and no tdings Of
her whatever had been heard. The most intense
and painful anxiety is felt both sides of the water
for her safety. Scarcely, however, now can there
be hope indulged. All the suggestions as to the
places into which she might probably have been dri
ven, in case she was crippled, arc now known to be
groundless; 80 that in all likelihood she is totally
lost. But how2 or when2 or where7 are questions
which will be asked with lively interest. Many ru
mons have been circulated with respect to wrecks O.
vessels having been seen at sea, but nothing which
affords the slightest clue TO the fate of the President

poper of the Pope.--The only Euro.
pean monarch who can directly interfere
with our Government, is the Pope of
Rome-while at the same time he is the
only one, who, by the assumption Of an
infallible wisdom, has pronounced it he
retical. thereby shutting himself up, on
the principles of common honesty, and
byiallthe impulse of benevolence per-
tanning to his divine viceg gerency, to the
necessity Of making the holy attempt of
revolutionizing it. That he only, Of all
rnonarchs can directly interfere, is evident
from tho fact, that no other power but the
Roman Pontiff has, or can have, men
subject to them, who at the same time are
American citizens. The moment that a
Protestant swears allegiance to our Co.
ve-nment, he not only disclaims all others,
but entirely ceases to show them homage.
No, so, however, with the Papist, he can
not at the peril Of his souls damnalion.
abiure the government of the Pope, and
ifshe did, it would be nullity. This a
rises from the fact that the Pope, as Gods
yicegerent,e exercises, at once spiritual
monarchy, which are both of God, and
that ,os she exclusion of all other systems
: "a that no matter where Papist is born
or where he resides, he is, and of neces.
