Supplement-.
we nave THIS morning been compelled, by the
press OF important matter to ISSUE another supple
ment
The News from Europe-Its Interest md
Importance.
The news from England and the rest of Europe
brought by the Hibernia," is extremely interesting
in a variety of aspects. 1t was looked for with
much anxiety, because people expected to hear
new developments Of the sentiments Of the British
government, in relation to Oregon, Texas and other
matters.
The moral war against the United States grow
ing out of the position of the Oregon question, is
still fiercey waged by the British press but nothing
farther has been said on the subject in Parliament
There are some indications, however, that deeper
feeling exists in the British government with regard
to the Oregon question, than has, yet, been gone
rally supposed. We have reference to the rumor
that eight thousand troops are about to be sent to
Canada, which comes to through the Irish papers
We should not be at all surprised to vast body
of troops sent to Canada order to operate this
country, in the attempted in the of the
North Eastern Boundary. Another important indi-
cation on this subject, is the statement in the Lon
don papers, that war clause had been introduced
into all marine policies of insurance at Loyd's
This 10 more significant than any thing we have yet
seen; for there can be no doubt that this measure
has been adopted by the underwriters at Loyd's on
the best authority i'll London, the intentions Of
the British government the subject Of the Oregon
question. Another very remarkable incident,
is the haste with which Sir Robert Peel is de-
parting from his original policy Of strong oppo-

endeavorng to concliate the Irish party by extending
the grant to Maynooth, which has created great
sensation in England and threatens, it is intimated
in some quarters to overthrow tho present ministry
and revolutonzc political parties in Great Britain
We look on it in different light Sir Robert Peel is
anxious to conciliate OConne and the repcalers by
some such concessions that grant, at the risk
of infaming the Protestants of England and other
parts of the empire; evidently, however, with the
view of uniting the whole country in opposition to
the United States in the Oregon negotiations
This derives additional confirmation from the con-
tnuance, with fresh violence, of the attacks upon the
institutions of the South by O'Connel in the repeal
conventices in Dublin. Altogether there seems to
be great deal of confusion in the state of parties in
Great Britain and Ireland Tories-conservatives-
whigs-radicals-Pro Catholics, all appear
to be shifting their various positions, and it would
seem that the ferment is produced by the effort of
the ministry to conciliato O'Conncll and the Irish
party, in order tojbe able to present strong and
united front to the United States in the future nego-
tiations on the Oregon question. This is made the
open and avowed reason of the grant Maynroth in
the debates of the House John Bull at last is fright
ened at Brother Jonathan. Good.
This is the most plausible and probable view that
can be taken Of the present state of affairs in Great
Bntain,w reference to this country On the con-
tinent q most remarkable condition of things at :
tracts our attention. War has already broken
out in Switzerland between the Protestants and
Catholics; and state Of feeling exists between
the sects in Germany, which threatens to pro-
duce very speedily the Same state of hostility
The religious animosites which agitated Europe
or three centuries ago, and produced the long and
bloody wars which devastated the Continent, seem
to have broken out afrssh, and there is now every
probability that the same angry feelings of sestarian
hostility are generating all over Christendom,
throughout France and Italy, and other parts of
Europe, which have now burst forth in open war in
Switzerland Even in England, and throughout the
British empire similar state of things exists and s
repressed only by the fear Of collision with tho
Knows
but these religious passions, walked up last after
the slumber of centuries, may create general war
in Europe, before many years have passed, which
may lead to entirely new, fresh, and revolutionary
formation of political and civil society throughout the
old worldl If these religious passions should break
out generally in open war, it is probable that third
party, the republicans throughout Europe, would be
able to raise their heads and to organize thcirmora
and physical forces, to originate revolution that
would sweep away for ever the two contending scots.
and all the despotic dynastics with which they hayo
become ntertwned. There must be one day, sooner
or later, final and decisive conflict between Protcs-
tantism and Catholicism in Europe, and tho result
will be and better era in society, and civil and
religious liberty in the ancient world
The difficulties between Europe and the United
States, only form an episode in the great movement
Of society, on those opposing principles which are
now coming into collision everywhere throughout
the old Continent.
THEATRIcALs IN ENeLAyD.-The English papers
are quite silent about the American actors. Little
is said about Miss Cushman or Hackett or Forrest.
All the powers Of culogy of the London press, ap-
pear to have been exhausted on Madame CASTELAR,.
She has had the most splendid triumph. She was
first appreciated in this city, and her thus
sembles that Of Malibran, who was first appreciated
here, and then went to London where she became
the p,ina donna of all Europe. Castelar, may
soon occupy the sans proud eminence. Her debut
at Her Majesty's Theatre was brilliant in the OK
treme. Queen Victoria herself could not retain her
expressions Of applause, and quite astonished the
nobility, whose appreciation burst forth in torrent,
No doubt Miss Cushman is making great deal
of money. Forrest appears to be doing pretty WE'LL
and is going to Paris to play there.
According TO the best accounts from Paris, il
would appear that Mr.. Simpson is likely to he very
successful in procuring novelties in tho way OF
ballet.
