The majority OF the meeting, however, showed
themselves determined to rise into the dignity
of independent minded, self relying men, who
would no longer offer themselves as the puerile
puppets OF any mans convenience or interests
The head repeal warden of the district told the
meeting that no man had right to place his
views in uxa- position with those Of the illustrious
liberator OF their country. Dr.. M'Burney qnes-

The exhibition ofthe products of Chinese indus
| try, &c., collected as guide to mercantile men
in making exports TO China, continues to attract
great attention. II has also given occasion for Sc
| veral lengthy lucubrations in the newspapers, as
to the prospects France has Of finding market
for her merchandise in the Flowery Land. Gene
rally speaking, these prospects are not consider
ed very hattering, the Chinese caring nothing for
French wines, nieknacks, or even silks; and as
| to cacoes, and cloths, and such things, they OBJ
| tain them better and cheaper from the English
| and American. The newspaper, La Pressc, how
ever, exhorts French merchants not to be discour-
| aged, and expresses belief that eventually great
| things may be made of the China market Mean
while the worthy journal consoles itself with the
assertion that I" the French have gained the SYM
pathy Of all classes in China" and that, though
beaten all to nothing in commerce by those mo-
| cans, they, the aforesaid French, "may boast of
glorious triumph for their ideas" Certes, none
| but Frenchman could find satisfaction in state
| ments so extravagany and so ludicrously false.
| The statement of the United States paper, the
Boston Adrertiser, that the natives of Papite, in
the Otahete Islands, had driven the French and
European inhabitants away, and compelled them
to seek refuge on board the French vessels, is de-
MED on the authority of the Government That
there is truth in is proved by the fact that the
Government has received accounts to the 18th
April, two days later than the events are alleged
| to have occurred and at that time the French
possessions were declared to be in perfect secu-
| rity.

| The whole of the Oregon territory, both English
and American, has been divided by the Pope INTO
eight doceses. M Blanchet, Frenchman, here
toiore Bishop in Oregon, has been nominated
Archbishop of the whole country Two of the
eight doceses are only filled up at present one

The protestants of this city are making great at
tempts to effect the conversion of the Catholic
priesthood. They have sent TO every bishop and
curate in the kingdom, TRANSACTIONS OF the protes-
tant Bible, religious tracts letters the errors oil
the church of Rome, &c. They do not appear,
however, to have had any very great success
The Catholics in this part are busy in converting
the protestants, and, if their newspapers speak
truth, their labors have not been in vain.
Not fewer than 1000 houses have lately beer

The newspapers give long accounts OF the as.
sassination of a French Catholic bishop by the

The rumor of a Carlist rising in Catalonia turn
out not to be unfounded. Letters from Barcelon,
dated the 4th, assert that a band OF from 300 t
name of Pietot, has made its appearance in tn
plain of Tarragona. He possesses an intimat
knowledge of the country he has selected as tn
object of his present attempt, and is well know
for his ruthless and daring character
When the news reached Barcelona, Geners
Breton sent battalion and two pieces Of arti
ery in the direction of Cervera. But scarcely ha'
the forces left when information reached him tina
known Mozen Benet Tristany, had made his aP
pearance in the neighborhood Of Solsono, and tina

Thus Catalonia seems threatened with civl
war; and the present moment, when the angry
feeling of the public is most excited, in conse
quence of the marriage of the lnfanta with 9
French Prince, is seized on for that purpose.
1t is believed that before many days Owe

the same unpopular measure; and 1t is not i'm
probable that in other parts of spain attempts
more daring, and, perchance, more effective, than
those that have as yet been tried, viii be made by
another and sull more powerful party. These art
melancholy circumstances for The Duke OF Mont
