which was to touch for them on her way 70

Affairs look squally between France and
England. Tangicrs had been bombarded BY
a French squadron under the Prince dc join
vile. Thc French war-spirit, kept alive os-
tcnsibly by the Tahitian difficulties, was Civ
ing much trouble to Guizot and the advocates
of peace, but Notwithstanding the angry de-
likely that peace will be preserved. Upon
the receipt Of the news fthc battles between
the French and Tahitians in England, a tel
egraph order was despatched Immediately
to have the 80 gun ship, ~Collingwood, bear
ing an admiral's flag, put in readiness for
Tahiti. Lord Stanley, the English ambas-
sador ut Paris, was also instructed to demand
reparation for damages to English subjects,
and for the insult offered to Mr.. Pritchard,
in imprisoning him, and other matters grow
ina out of the affairs at Tahiti. The recall
of Governor Bruat was also requested. The
papers of both nations enter very largely in
to the discussion of, not only the Tahiti, but
Morocco question, and teen with letters and
communications, giving the views of the ad-
%vocates of either party. The following is
the latest information of the controversy
about Tahiti, between the two governments.
1t was currently reported at Paris, on the
Gath. of August, that the ultimatum of the
British government concerning the Tahiti
affairs, had been received, but its terms were
not known. 1t was believed that M. Guizot
has refused to recall Captain Bruat and Nj.
ID Aubigny. The Revue de Paris gives the
following:-
CATER the exchange of several diplomatic
notes, M. Guizot has proposed to England
inc following arrangement;--That Tahiti
shall become a free state, and that France
and England shall each of them establish a
consul in the island, and that both countries
shall be treated on a footing of perfect equal
lty IN regard to commercial advantages;
that the French squadron will be recalled,
and that the authority Of Queen Pomarc shall
be rc-cstablishcd. -
"\Nith regard to Mr.. Pritchard, he shall
be at liberty to return to Tahiti as a private
individual, but he is never to be allowed to
hold any public function in the island. We
DO not know the answer of England to tins
proposal ". Y. Com. .Adr., Sept II.
