TAHITI.-Ihe Morning Herald Of August 24th
has the following, which it heads .'Seilement,
| by Anticipation, of the Tahian Question:
"Our private letters from Paris state that the
embarrassment created between the TWO govern
ments, by the Tahitian affair, has been favorably
disposed OF in a most unexpected manner. Cap
tain Bruat, to whom Admiral Dupelit Thonars
had delegated his authority, not approving of the
arrest OF Mr.. Prltchard, and particularly of the
informal manner i'll which it was executed,
thought proper to rerrimand Nj. D'Aubigny, and
10 suspend him until the pleasure of the French
government was taken in his regard.
This timely interpositon OF Captain Bruat,
1t is hoped, will settle the question between the
TWO cabinets, and relieve the Earl OF Aberdeen
from pressing Nj. Guizot on point where the
senslbility of the French nation is, though erro-
neously, much eXcited.''
