ult., bringing news to the 4th. We extract
from the N. Y. Express the most interesting
items. f
| The 10 Judges have decided upon the sever
al questions put to them by the House of Lords
against the reversal of the judgment against
O'Conne and his co-patriots.
| The Britannia arrived in Boston ut half past
~ O'Clock, Tuesday morning, with London and
Liverpool papers 10 the 4th of September. The
news was received IN this city at s O'Clock on
Tuesday evening, by the Long Island Rail
Road
The news is interesting. The discussion
between the English and French continues,
but will result in nothing more than paper bull
lets.
The two most interesting items nv this arri-
val are the occupation OF Mogadore by the
French, and refusal Of the British House OF
Lords 10 reverse the decision against O'Connell.
| The British Government has made up lis
mind, il is said, that The French shall respect,
inviulaie, the integrity of the Emperor's domin-

Of Morocco will he The signal for the COM

powers.

selves and France. The question appears to
have been settled in way equally honorable TO
both countries"
These remarks, says the Times, refer more
particularly To the misunderstanding respecting
Tahiti; hut the state Of feeling amongst our
selves, as well as amongst our neighbors, rela-
tive 10 Morocco, has also considerably cooled.
The accounts from Spain announce the arri-
val Of The Queen mother and the Queen at the
seat of government The affairs of that un-
happy country continue in state of the most
incxplicable confusion. In Portugal, matters
are even worse, and il is clear that crisis is at
hand. But so important is the state OF affairs
between this country and France, that it has
swallowed up, or reduced TO comparative insg-
nifcance, the other events Of the last fortnight.
