THE NEW YORK HERALD. Vol, X., No. 992—Whole No, 8892, HIGHLY IMPORTANT. FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER ACADIA. Treaty between America and China. Depression in the Cotton Market. ENGLISH TREATY WITH BRAZIL Movements of O’Connell. &e., &e., &e. The steamer Acadia has at length arrived. She left Liverpool on the 4th instant, and arrived at Boston, at about 4 o’clock on Sunday afterneon.— ‘We have London and Liverpool papers to the day of sailing. All her mails destined for the south, came on by government express, which left Boston at half past six o’clock on Sunday evening, was detained two hours at Greenport, and arrived here at half past seven yesterday morning. We, as well asthe whole commercial community, are indebted to Nathaniel Greene, Esq., the Postmaster of Boston, for the early receipt of our letters and papers. The intelligence is of an highly important and interesting character. Stocks and Securities were improving in Eng- land Particular American stocks were looked for by capitaliste for investment. The news from China will be hailed with joy throughout the country. We trust that it will prove true. There was a depression in the cotton market, but no actual decline. Our relations with Brazil will probably be bene- fitted by the treaty between that empire and Eng- land. The Queen and suite returned to London from her Northern tour, on the 8d inst. A new coinage of half farthings has recently ta- ken place, Alderman Gibbs is chosen Lord Mayor of Lon- don. The reportis confirmed that Bohemia will join the German Customs Union, by way of experi- ment, for five years. The price of wheat at Mark Lane is now 883s. to 54s. per quarter ; and bread has consequently fallen im price, being from 54d. to 7d. the feur-pound loaf. The directors of the East India Company have coaferred upon General Nott, for his services at Candahar, Ghuzaee, and Cabul, an annuity of £1,000. Tartans are becoming fasbionable, in conse- quenee of the Queen’s visit to Scotland, and the pattern being patronised by her Majesty. The expected military brevet will include lieu- tenant-colonels, mejors, and captains, of 1836, and will cause, necessarily, a considerable number of changes. Ths Times contradicts a statement in the Revue de Paris, that the Corporation of London have in- vited King Louis Phillipe to an entertainment in the city. The Bank of England, at their half yearly meet- ing on the 19th ult., declared a dividend of 34 per cent. It was stated at the meeting that the Branch banke yielded a small profit. A shoal of whales, amounting to upwards of five hundred, proved a prize afew days back to the poor inhabitants at Zetland, who captured them all, and sold tle carcasses at £2 53. each. The marriage of the Duke d’Aumale with the daughter of the Prince de Salermo is positively agreed upon, and will, it is said, be solemnized soon after Louis Phillippe’s return trom Windsor. The Paris Globe states that the Commercial Council of the Zollverein had rejected the treaty lately concluded with Belgium, because it did not contain terms sufficiently advantageous for the Union, particularly as respected the harbor of Ant- werp. The treaty entered into between England and France, for giving up offenders that take refuge in either country, has been carried out in the person of Jacques Besset, charged with fraudulent bank- ruptcy, who has been taken into custody in Lon- don, and sent to P: The committee of Spanish American bond-hold- ers met on Friday last, to consider the proposals re- evived by the last packet from the government of ew nada for the adjustment of the foreign debt. The further discussion ef the proposals was adjourned for a week. In a correspondence on the subject of a Life of Oliver Cromwell, by the late Mr. Southey, Mr. Murray, the bookeelier, states that at least £90,- 000 have been paidto authors for the copynght alone of articles furnished to the Quarterly Review. ‘The Palamdee of the present month, contains a correspondence between Mr. Staunton and M. *t. Amant, by which it appears that a new chess match is to take place on the 16th at Paris, for the same stake (£100 a-side) as that played tor last year. Van Amburgh’s elephant, last week, at Canter- bury, being annoyed by a trumpeter in the orches- tra, suddenly caught him with his trunk and lifted him up in the air, and then let him fall inthe saw- dust. The musician was not hurt. Marshal Sebastiana has arrived at Milan, ‘“‘to ob- serve (says a letter) the movements of the Duke de Bordeaux.” This personage arrived at Venice on the 23d ult. He was anxious, it is said, 1o remain in S$ wirzerland during the autumn, but permission, trom a fear of the French government, was refused. A letter from Berlin states that the King had just created a new branch of administration, under the title of Ministry of Grievances, the object of which is to pay special attention to such complaints as the citizens may have to make Spain ecclesiasti- cal, administrative, and judicial functionaries. _ Tue New Comut.—A comet, which completes as its revolution round the eun in five years, h at been discovered. It was first observed by Signor Vico, #t the Observatory of the College of Rome, on the 224 of August last, and has since been seen at the Observatories of Paris, Altona, and Kensing- ton. The Great Britain steamship, our readers will be leased to learn, is on the eve of being relieved ‘rom her confisemen‘ in the Bristol dock. Itisnot generally k:own that valerian will attract rats and cats, which being brought together, the former are destroyed. MM. Wohler and Liebig have discovered a new vegetable acid, which is the product of the action of dilute sulphuric acid and oxide of manganese upon narcotine ; it is called opianic acid. Lit a correspondence on the subject of the life of iver Cromwell, by the late Southey, Mr. Murray, the bookseller, states that at least £90,- 00 have been paid to authors for the copyright alone of articles furnished to the Quarterly Review, ‘The prize of twenty guineas offered by the Insti- tnte of the Fine Arts *‘for the best essay on the history, literature, and present state of the fine arts in Great Britain, with suggestions for the best means of promoting their advancement,” has been awarded to Mr. George Foggo. The King of Prussia has announced his intention of giving every five years a prize, consisting of a medal, with a purse of 1000 gold crowns, for the best work on the history of Germany, in the Ger- man language. Tn order to obtain a good subject for engraving, and to induce the production of a superior woik 0 art, the committee of the London Art Union off-r the sun of £500 for an original picture iljustrative of British history. It was whispered, some time back, that the whig leaders had entered into a compact with O’Connell, to support a federal movement if he would give up the Repeal agitation. The organ of the whig party, the Morning Chronicle, has come out during hie Inet few days against federalism, from which it wouid appear there could have been no truth in the rumor, NEW YORK, TU The U. S. corvette Plymouth, arrived (probably) at Toulon Hove Ch pean ree on the Sth, and the Fairfield, from Palermo and Tripoli on the 11th.— They await the Cumberland from Alexandria, having on board the senior officer in the Mediter- ranean. Amongst the signs of the times may be noticed the schism whieh has taken place in, and led tothe dismemberment of, the ** Dublin Conservative Ae sociation,” composed of the extreme ultras of the Orange party. Dissatisfaction with Sir Robert Peel’s government is the ostensible cause. O’Connell has left the Irish metropolis for his mountain home. The meatioen of the Repeal As- sociation will continue during hisabsence, but they will hardly arrest attention. Rumor prevails that Government meditates the adoption of strong mea- sures to put down the machinery which keeps the repeal movement going. The subdued tone of the Irish leader is attributed by some to his desire to ward off such a blow. Lreuranant-Generat Count Braue, expired at Stockholm, on the 16th ultimo, aged 54 years, On Ist June, at Hong-Kong, of fever, Robert William Peck, Esq., Clerk of Worke, Royal Eugineer De- partment. At Hong Kong, on June 6, Lucy H, the lady of the Rev. D. Hall, M. D., of the Amer. Board Com. tor For. Missions, aged 36. Sarge or American Hors.—A parcel of thirteen bales of American hops was offered by auction, on Tuesday last, for which £6 was bid. They were subsequently sold ar £7 per cwt., less the duty, for export, the duty, £4 14s. 6d., being prohibitory for home use. _ There will be an exhibition of the products of industry next year at Vienna, but it will be con- fined to the products of Austria. Toe Emperor intends to create a special order of merit for the manufacturers who shall be declared worthy of it aod the possessor of the decoration will be declare noble ; but this nobility is not tu be hereditary. Tue Prsswent Sreamer.—A report is current here that a bottle was picked up, about twelve miles eff Dover yesterday morning, containing a paper, on which was written, in pencil, ‘ Presi- dent, all is lost! God bless you all! Lennox.” We give this report as we have heard it, but we are unable to vouch ,for its authenticity.— Dover Chronicle. Muu.erites :n Enouanp.—Great excitement has been caused in Reading and neighborhood, by a prophecy of some wandering fauatics, that the end of the world will be in the course of this year.— Their freqaent preachingshave produced most mis- chievous effects on weak-minded persons, not whelly confined to the uneducated ranks, and se- veral mivistera have thought it expedient to warn their flocks from the pulpit against the delusions of these presumptuous pseudo-prophete. Dr. Wour.—We are informed that,’ after much ¢orrespondence, and obtaining from our own go- vernment all the interference and aid it feels au- thorised to undertake tor the release of Dr. Wolff, at Bokhar, Captain Grover, a few days since, start- ed tor St. Petersburg, Peeepeny to interest the Emperor Nicholas in the same humane and holy cause.—Literary Gazette. A commission of lunacy was held the other day on Mr. T Telford Campbell, only son of the de- ceased poet, when a verdict to the effect, that Mr. Campbell was in his sound mind, was returned. Mr. Campbell (who conducted himself throughout the investigation with the coolness and composure of the most perfect sanity,) had been for the last fourteen years an inmate of a lunatic asylum, at the instance of his tather. The verdict caused a great sensation. The visit of Louis Philippe to Windsor,is a fruit- ful topic for the speculations o! politicians on both sides of the channel. His minister, M. Guizot, will not, it is said, seccmipany him, but will join his royal master in Exgland. The king, who leaves cer on the 5th, will be accompanied by Admi- ral Makau. Tosacco.—The stock of tobacco now in the poueeie warehouse, consists of 1,458 hogsheads irginia leaf, 1,025 stemmed, 4,222 Kentucky leaf, 3,686 stemmed, 13 other sorts, and 2,789 not sampled ; together 13,148 hogsheads_ At the same period last year, the stock censisted of 1,484 Vir- ginia leat, 358 stemmed, 1,095 Kentucky leaf, 5,107 stemmed, 14 other sorts, and 2,101 not sam- pled; together 10,159 hogsheads. Since our last the Queen has been enjoying, in rude health, the plessures of her mountain resi- dence in the Highlands of Scotland. The splendid acenery, the br: g air, the invigorating exercise, and the early rising at Blair Athol, can be traced, we are told by the sturdy chroniclers for the daily press, in her Majesty’s person and that ot her con- sort. The physical improvement is marked and palpable. Every movement she has made in her romantic retirement appears not only to have been witnessed, but minutely recorded. The Queen, at the time we write this, is on the sea, returning home, where she will arrive on Wednesday or Thursday next, in the possession of renewed health and additional popularity. Mz. T. E. M. Twrton.—The above gentleman, who, it may be recollected, accompanied the late Earl of Durham, as his private secretary to the Canadas, when the latter nobleman sustained the highly reevorathly office of Governor of those colo- nies, has for several months been laboring under very severe and painful iliness, and has been ad- vised by his medical atteudants to repair to Malta for the benefit of his health, where he is now so- journing. The office of Register of the Supreme Court of Calcu’ta, which is at present enjoyed by this learned gentleman, is considered 10 be the most lucrative appcintment which the government can bestow upon an advocate practising at the bar of the above-named presidency. * Cuter Raest or THE HenreEws.—The great body of the Hebrew persuasion in London is at the pre. sent time much agitated in consequence of the approaching election to the office of the chief rabbi ot England, which has been for some time vacant by the death of the Rev. Solomon Herschell, and which is appointed to take place in the course of the ensuing month. The rev. candidates for the office are Dr. Nathan Marcus Adler, who hasbeen chief rabbi of Hanover since August, 1830; Dr. Benjamin Auerbach, whe has been chief rabbi of Carmatadt for ten years; Dr. Hirschfield, whe has been for a short time chief rabbi of Wollstein; and Dr. Sampson Hirsch, who has been chief rabbi of Oldenburgh since 1831, and isat present chief rabbi ot East Friesland. The whole of tuese rey. gen- tlemen are celebrated on the continent, in the Christian and Jewish circles, for their piety and a'tainmente, the three first being doctors of philo sophy ot eminent foreign universities. Dr. Adler, who pos:esses high testimonials and recommenda- tions from the late and present governments of Hanover, it is expected will be the suecessful can- didate, algiough the triends of the other rev. can- didat equally confident of success. Amunican Cuggsk.—At a meeting of the South Derbyshire Agricultural Jociety, on Saturday week, Mr. Colville, M. P., who filled the chair, drew the attention of the farmers to the import of American cheese, for the purpose of calming their fears. He showed that, although the import.of American cheese had yconsiderably increased, it had driven the Dutch cheese out of the market. He produced atable which showed, that from 1831 to 1840, the importation from America had fluctuated, without any regularity, between nothing and fifty hundred weight; from Holland or Belgium the importation had increased, in the same period, from 183,397 hundredweight to 224,957 hundredweight; from other European countries the supply had remained insignificant and nearly stationary—1,049 in 1831, 1,464 in 1840: the aggregate importations advanced from 134,459 in 1831 to 226,462 in 1840. The last figures of the table we take as they stand: they show the imports of cheese, in hundredweights, from the places named for the Jast three yea America, Europe. The importation of cheese had decreased duriug the Jast ten years by nearly $2,000 hundredweight, while the population has increased by 2,800,000 mouths. Saux or American Hay.—On Wednesday last a sale of Americen hay, per the Liverpool, from New York, took place on the north quay of the Waterloo Dock, The attendance was not numer- ous, though the bidding was, on the whoie, tolera- bly Spirited. The hay was considered of rather inferior quality. The quantity offered was 210 bales, divided, for the convenience ot purchasers, into 21 lots, of 10 bales each. ‘The first lot went off at . per stone ; the next seventeen were knockea down at 7d., and the three remaining lots at7j. Tare wasallowed at the rate of 25ibs per bale; and parties were to remove their purchases on the day of sale. It was stated that there had been a logs by the sale of from 80 to 40 per cent.— It will be seen, by reference to ovr London market: reports, that another sale of American hay took Jace on Friday last in the Metropolis. There, av ere, the hay was not permitted to enter a bonded warehouse, owing to its being a combustible mat- ter, which, in case of fire, occurring trom sponta- neous ignition or otherwise, would vitiate the insu ance policy. A rumor prevails in the city—the Times first gave currency to it—that the British Cabinet proj excluding from the honors of the court and the complimentary dinners of the ministers, all the a b lors and other representatives of foreign nations, whose governments have not sustained, in this country, their pecuniary engagements with their creditors. Such a mode of retaliation would be 80 personally stinging, it not dey , that the bankrupt nations (not a few in number) would find it difficult to persuade eny persons of gentlemanly teeling to accept the honor of representing them at the court of St. James’s. There is originality in the idea, and if carried out it will be a source of delight to the money-grubbing capitalists of the city. [sit on this account that Mr. Everett, the American minister, is :aid to have solicited his recall? Every American, who has the credit and honor of his country at heart, ought to feel delight- ed at this, or any similar plan, which can be suc- cessfully hit upon, for shaming the defaulting States into honesty. No American can have tra- velled in Eagland, without feeling endless annoy- ances arising out of the repudiaung policy of Penn- sylvania and other non-paying States; and the same annoyances exist, although perhaps to a less extent, on the Continent. Osiruary.—The death of the Duke of Grafton took pace on the evening ef the 28th,at hisGrace’s seat, Enston Hall, Suffolk. The noble Duke was in his 85th year. The daily papers announce the death, at Vevay, in Switzerland, of Mr. Nathan Dunn, of Philadelphia, the collector and proprietor of the Chinese collection which has given the Eng. lish public such familiar glimpses into the interior of Chinese life. Accounts have been received of the death of lady Hunter. Her ladyship was daughter and heiress of Mr. James Dickson, of Auton’s Hill, Berwickshire, and married, in 1797, General Sir Murtin Hunter, G. ©. H. The deceas ed lady was in her 70:h year. Letters from Rome announce the demise of Cardinal Silvestro Belli, who died at Jesi on the Ith inst. The Rev. Thos. Robinson Welch, Chancellor of the Diocese of Chichester,Curate of Burwash, Sussex,and brother- in-law of the late Dr. Shuttleworth, Bishop of Chi- chester, died suddenly at Brighton, the 28th ult. Amrivar or American Packets np STEAMERS. —The Hibernia arrived at 10 o’clock on the night of the 28th, after one of her usually quick voyages of twelve days, Her despatches Se rs were immediate forwarded to London by uiimer and Smith’s exprees, and reached the capital at noon, twenty hours in aavance of the mail. The Great Western arrived on Sunday night, the 29th. The packet ship,Sidd ns, Captain Cobb, arrived on the 28th, and the Columbus, Captain Cole, and Ash- burton, Captain Huttleston, on the Ist inst.; and the Yorkshire, Captain Bailey; yesterday, after a very quick voyage of sixteen days only, from the time her pilot lett her off New York, to taking one off Liverpool, and this notwithstanding the great pre- valence of easterly winds during the greater part of her voyage. To the commanders of these fine ships we are much indebted for having our files of Papers most promptly at hand, and immediately delivered to our messenger on boarding their ships. Rumorgp Treaty with Braziz —Rumors have been current for some days that a new treaty has been recently entered into between Brazil and the British Government. Nothing positive is known ae to the terms, and in the absence of definite infor- mation, speculation has been very rife. At length the Brazilian packet, the Peterel, which sailed from Rio on the 27th of July, arrived, but her pa- pers do not confirm the reportseither of a commer: cial treaty with England, or ot a war between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, although they contain some warm articles on the latter subject. The Journal do Commercio of the 21st contains an or- der, reducing the present extravagant anchorage dues on foreign and native vessels. Mr. Falcon- net, who effected an arrangement for the Buenos Ayrean shareholders, has arrived in England. The Peterel was detained fourteen days beyond her time at Rio, the object being that she should bring home the treaty. At the time ot her sailing it was generally understood that the treaty ha not been signed—if, indeed, it existed. Accord- ing to another authority, the Linnet paceeds which may be looked for in 2 week, will bring it A General advance of five per cent on the importa- tion of British goods is mentioned as one ot the clauses of the Bese but rumor is silent as to whether the sugar ot Brazil is to be admitted on the same or more favorable terms than by the treaty which will expire next month. Commerctat. —There has not been much activi ty in the produce markets since our last publication, but prices have in nearly all instances been well sustained. The!prospects of the future are et ll en- couraging. Fine weather has enabled growers to secure the crops in good condition, even in the most backwards districts of great Britain and Ire. land, thereby ensuring a good supply of food. In the manufacturing districts, less animation was ap- ‘parent throughout Sept.than existed during the month preceding, but stocks of cloths and yarns have net accumulated, owing to the demand from the home trade, which is in a more satisfactory state than for years past. The foreign trade, weakened by the entire absence of orders for Brazil, has con- siderably decreased ; but rumours of a new com- mercial treaty having been completed, afiord hopes of a renewal ot operations for that country. Our Cotton market is still much depressed by the heavy stocks, and shows symptome of decliu- ing, though at present a reduction of jd per lb. can- not be quoted. Foreign Wheat and Flour have undergone a slight improvement in London; but here, where the weight of the imports from abroad is most felt, there is no amendment. Some recent arn- vals of American hay have been sold by auction, and we are gorry to state that the prices obtained will entail aloss on the shipments of from 30 to 40 percent. A parcel of American hops have like- wise been disposed of, at £7 per cwt., leas the duty for export. Money is much scarcer, and commands higher rates for commercial purposes ; firet claes.2§ Bills are discounted at 2 and others 2} toBpercent, We regret having to announce, that the house of Messrs. Ro kell, Ogden & Co. of this town, have suspended payment. ‘Their liabilities, on this side of the Atlantic, are said to be not more than £25,000, and itis reported that all their,debts will ultumately be liquidated in full. Their diffi- culties are attributed to extensive cotton specula- uons. Dreaprut Loss or Lirg near SunpgRLAND.— Accounts from Sunderland give an account of an explosion in a coal pit at Haswell colliery, about ten miles from Sunderland, which has caused the destruction of ninety-six human beings! It is said, that at the time of the accident there were a hun- dred persons in the pit, and that only three or four have been saved. The calamity appears to have been more dreadful than we at first anticipated The number of men in the pit at the time of the explosion was neary one hundred and fifty. Onl, one man, it is said, has escaped alive, Ml ay 3 Upwards of one hundred dead bodies have already been brought to the bank. It is utterly impossible to describe the dreadful anguish of the surviving relatives. One man was found unsinged, with his cap in his mouth; he had probably placed it there in order to prevent the foul air getting into his mouth. Several had their fingers closed in each other, and pressing on their mouths. Fifteen put- ters (boys and young men ba pig ot in taking the coals from the hewers to the bottom of the shaft,) were in one lamp they were all clasped together. ‘They had their clothes on, prepared id. When working they are nearly naked. The state of the relatives beggars all description. Each cottage had its dead father or brothers, or both. Three men at the bottom of the shaft were saved; the shock was so great that the reof near them had fallen down, und so blocked up the pas- sage asto stop the further progress of the bad air. These men, thus providentially rescued were the first who brought the intelligence to the bank The explosion was not heard by those outside the pit. The men, when asked the cause of the dread- jul accident, say that the state of the pit must have been known to some persons: but it does not a pear that any eet had been previously made. One lad had his bones sticking out of his thigh; many had their bones broken, some were very much scorched, while others, to all external appearance, were uninjured. The “‘after damp” is generally fatal to those who escape the immediate effect of the explosion. The three men saved are John Thompson, wagon wayman; John Hall, hewer; and —— Coats, putter. These three were at the bottom of the shaft when the explosion oc- curred. An equally disastrous explosion occurred twenty years ago at Wall’s end, about four miles trom Neweastle-on-Tyne. 101 perished on that occasion, Wall’s-end was then under the superin- tendence of the late Mr. Buddle, who was also the head viewer of the Northumberland and "Durham coal trade; and it strangely happens that Mr. Foe- ter, the present head viewer, 18 the practical su- perintendent at Haswell and some neighboring collieries. On the 25th ultimo, Mr. Waghorn wi itertain- ed, at dinner, by a number of gentlemen connect ed with the trade to the east, previous to his de- parture for Egypt, with a view to induce the Pacha An jd a project of arailway across the isthmus of Suez. ireland, The last meeting of the Repeal association which O’Connel! attended before leaving town, was dense ly crowded. The chair was filled by an ex-justice ot the peace, Francii Comyn, Esq. The speakers were Mr. James Kelly, M. P., who. eulogised Mr. Greg Porter’s pamphlet in favor of a federal par- fiament. Mr. Porter was the son of a Protestant clergyman, and was high sheriff of Fermanagh.— The sentiments of such a man were entitled to much respect Mr. James Grattan, M. P., moved that the municipal declaration in favor of the re- peal of the Union should be engrossed, and en- rolled amongst their records. Mr. O'Connell, ia the course of his speech, denounced ribbonism, which had made its appearance in ,the county of Antrim, as the Sresioss curse to Ireland. He pro- ceeded to compliment the gentlemen who atten- ded as reporters on behalf of the government ; but he was not equally pleased to see a policeman taking note of their proceedings. He next repudi- ated, on behalf of the association, the harsh lan- guage which Mr. Gray had used at the repeal banquet, in speaking of the people of England. This association met on the 30th September.— The meeting was addressed by Mr. O’Connetl and others, and the rent was announced to be £349 18. There isa report that Lord Ellenborough will shortly succeed to the Lieutenancy of Ireland. Some of the Irish papers revive a report that it_is SirR. Peel's intention to raise Chief Justice Do- herty, of the Common Pleas, to the British peer- age, in order to have his assistance in the of Lords. ‘France. _ f The papers announce the arrival at Paris of the Duke de Glucksbera witha treaty between France and Morocco. The Emperor stipulates that he will communicate to the French government the names of the Moorish chiefs who invaded the Algerian territory; that Abd-el-Kader be outlawed througout the African esions of the Emperorand France; that he may be pursued by the troops ot both govern- ments, until expelled or captured; that if he fall into the hands of the French, he is to be treated with every respect due to his station; that Magador island and the town of Ouchda be evacuated by the French; that prisoners of war be immediately exchanged; and that the ratification of the treaty be exchanged within two months. The subjoined historical document—a letterfrom the King of the French to the Prince de Joinville, published by the Prince in a general notice con- veying the expression of the King’s approval to the squadron for its services at Tangier and Mogador— will excite interest:— “Nevmty, Thursday, 29th August. My dear and most beloved Son—I thank God for having preserved you amidst the dangera you so nobly braved and for permitting thet I address through you tothe squadron under your command my personal congratula- tions, and the expression of the national gratitude for the new laurels which it has added to our flag. In congratulating our brave seamen for having display- ed that French valor which never fails to respond to the appeal of the country, I take pride to myself that you re strained their ardor until the moment when the justice of our cause imposed upon us the duty to have recourse to arms. I saw with delight the simultaneous efforts of ournavy and army crowned with such brilliant success; and it is particularly grateful to me that my son should have led our seamen to victory. mbrace you, my dear son, with afl the effusion of m: heart. LOUIS PHILLIPPE.” The battle of Isly was fought on the 14th Au; , Mo- oe Waa boatardad onthe loin, and on thé ibreeatng night the Princes de Joinville irth to army of Algeria and the squadron of Mi jor have re- quested, says the Algerie, that ‘ Victoria” may be added to the infant’s names; and the King’s assent is assumed. The accounts of the vintage in the Beaujolais are most flattering. The grapes are ripe, und in the most fect state of preservation. The wine crop will be, itis said, rhein ly abundant, and the price will consequently de- ine. ‘The Moniteur publishes the returns of the principal goods imported into France in August last, the duties on which amounted to 18,730,462f, As compared with th corresponding period of 1843, there is an increase in the receipts of 1,487,758f., and of 2,517.682f comparatively to 1842. The linen trade, checked by the raising of the ta- riff, was fast recovering, andthe importation of flaxen and hempen yarn considerably exceeded what it was in Au- gust 1642 and 1343. The Journal du Cher publishes the following speech, purporting to have been recently addressed by the King to M Larochefoucauld Laincourt, who presented him as president of the Society of Ghris- tian Morality, various addresses forwarded to him by the English and American Society for the Pre- servation of Peace—* [ am happy to receive these addresses, and lee! particularly gratified to find that our American friends should do justice to the pains ‘have taken to maintain the general peace of Europe. There is no advantage in making war, even when a nation has attained the object for which it fought, because ultimately the losses are always greater than the gains. I have ever pro- fessed that principle; when I was in America, forty years ago, | wasoften asked to propose toasts at public dinners, and | almost invariably exprested the wish that universal and permanent peace should exist among all nations. J was then exiled from my country, and my anxious desire was that it should enjoy peace and happiness. This is what caused me to adopt that Bey precept. I could not then foresee that I should be called upon one day to exert my influence and act myself in favor of that great cause. May the Almighty accord me the maintenance of peace. War appears to me malediction ; and war in Europe between civilized nations, I regard as an absurdity: if the smaller states desire it we should prevent them; and as peace between the great Powers becomes daily more consolidated, I hope, if I live a few yeare longer, that a gencral war in Europe will have be- come impossible.” This speech has been severely criticised by some portions of the French press.
