News from California, The steamship Crescent City, Captain Stoddard, fis now due from Chagres, via Kingston, Jamaica. ‘There is reason to believe that she will bring two or three weeks later intelligence from San Fran- eisco. The Panama and Oregon probably arrived at Panama before the C. C. left Chagres. Our Trade with Morocco, We believe there is sufficient evidence in pos- session of the government at Washington, in the the official reports of our ministers and consuls, to warrant a thorough examination into the subject | of our foreign trade, and into the obstacles which are daily thrown in the way of its success by seve- | ral of the governments of Europe. This investi- gation should be prosecuted with a reselute inten- tion on the part of government, to a removal of | the many evils complained of, by insisting upon a | strict fulfilment of our treaties, in every instance. | It is a matter of the first importance to our com- mercial community, and itis, further, due to the sountry at large, that the government should take the matter in hand with as little delay as possible. | The complaints hitherto made upon this subject, in | almost every instance have been allowed to pass mnnoticed by the heads of our departments, or when referred to the consular bureau for action, they have been thrown aside as so much waste paper, leaving the agent without the poor satisfac- tion of evena reply to his communication. By this very simple process, the impositions on our commerce have not alone increased; but, in some instances, our trade with foreign countries has been wholly destroyed; while the benefits arising from the same have fullen into other channels, as @ natural consequence of inattention and indiffe- rence on the part of government. A case in point is now before us. By reference to data in our possession, we find that the trade o¢ the United States with the Empire of Morocco, shortly after the war ef 1812, equalled in amount the trade of Great Britain. In 1839, the following | particulars of this commerce are given in a report | made by the British Charge d’Afluires in that Em- | pire, to his government :— The British commerce with Morocce {s, therefore, a8 from the premises will be gathered. of much greater extent and smportance than could be imagined from the official returns laid before Parliament, and pub- lished by Mr. Porter ; it, therefore, should be fostered and cultivated as greatly as possible by government influence, and all the trammels to which it is now sub- im Morocco, should be the subject of friendly Regotiation to get remored. The imports and exports, | together, of this commerce, represent an annual move- ment of £1,000.000 value at least, on British account, and in British bottoms. The trade of the United States, during the same year—namely, 1839—had been reduced to £32,240, or a little over $161,000. In 1844, the trade of | Great Britain was estimated at eight millions of | dollars, including the illicit or contraband trade, which may be set down at a million of dollars. | ‘The trade of the United States for the same period, | did not amount to a single dollar. This is the last | official intelligence we have upon the subject of this valuable commerce, which may be said to have passed wholly into the hands of British capi- talists, if we exclude the insignificant carrying trade done by French and Sardinian vessels. A | Jarge portion of this trade passes into the adjoin- | ing States and countries bordering on the empire, | constituting a population of from twenty to twenty- five millions of people, who are thus made depen- dent, for their supplies, on British enterprise alone. A still greater extension of this interest is appa- | rent in the facilities with which British goods can | be conveyed into those countries by clandestine | means, through the several ports of Morocco, and the cheap rate at which they are then furnished | to the Moorish trader. This alone is wanting to complete British monopoly in that part of the world, by giving her the mastery of a trade, the ultimate walue of which, in all probability, would far over- veach any reasonable estimate that at this moment we may be disposed to offer. If, on the first in- | fringement of our treaty by Morocco, the United | States had acted with moderate firmness, we should mot only have secured the respect of those semi- barbarians, but it is inferable that a repetition would not have been attempted, and that our com. | merce would now have equalled the trade of Great | Britain, as the principal articles of Moorish con- sumption can be supplied by our manufacturers, and have hitherto obtained a preference over those of the English. But, for the last thirty years, the | policy of the United States has been to submit to every outrage imposed either upon our representa- tives to that empire, or on the commerce of the United States, without remonstrance or complaint. The encouragement thus afforded, has been availed of by the Morocco government, as is seen in the total destruction of our commerce with that country, and in the abseace of all influence with the court, or local authorities, which may have been attempied by our consuls. in one of the ports of the empire valuable property, beloaging to a house in Boston, was sewed upon by the gover- nor ef the town, and their egent threatened with instant death in the event of diately leave the country. It will scarcely be credited that our own goverament permitted this flagrant violation of treaty to pass wane such was the case; and although several subse- quent attempts to establish American commercial agencies on the coast, have been made, they have been defeated in every instance by the Moorish authorities. How far the jealousy of a rival com- mercial power, through its agents, has contributed to the present state of things, it may not at tins Moment be necessary to enquire into, although charges to this eflect, with particulars, are now in his refusal to umme- the poss e of our departments at Wash- ington; but it is of more importance to us, that our | treaties with foreign governments should be faith- | fally obterved, and their provisions, to the letter, | eeomplied with. If this cannot be enforced with Morocco, a be- coming regard for national character would re commend the suspension of all in that government, and the immediate withdrawal of oor accredited agent. This necessity, howev- er, need not exist; the power of the United States is now pretty generally knowa throughout the world; but by no one nation is this better under- stood than by the sagacious diplomat of Morocoo reourse with ‘We should see that our merchants are permitted | to setile in such parts of the empir they may | see proper to select, and that the Maroquein go- vernment should be fhade responsible for their personal safety, and the security of their property This is but the letter of our treaty, and should be | insisted upon. Changes are also required in our consular system. American agents should be se- Jected to the several ports in the empire, and libe- rally pa:d by government, and cur interests no | longer left with irresponsible Moors and Jews, | upon whom these appointments are now confer. | red. These sneges evil, are few, and simple in themselves, and if | with EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE, RECEIVED BY THR ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP EUROPA, AT HALIFAX, Overland Express to St, John, N.B,, THENCE TELEGRAPHICALLY TO NEW YORK, he, de. Bee Our overland express from Halifax arrived at St. John, N. B., at one o’clock yesterday afternoon, + withthe Europa’s news, which was immediately telegraphed to this city. The E., with 123 passengers, arnved at Halifax on Tuesday evening, at a few minutes past 3 o’clock, and will be due at her wharf, at Jersey City, at an early hour to-morrow morning. She left Liverpool on Saturday noon, the Mth instant, and has, therefore, made the passage to Halifax in a little over ten days. The news brought by her is highly interesting. The Cambria arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday forenoon, the 10th inst. ‘The tone of business throughout the week end- ing the 14th inst., continued active and vigorous, and considerably more than an average amount of operations was eflected; the manufacturing dis- tricts gave assurances of a healthy state of things, with a gradual extension of manufacturing trailic, and a restoration of confidence. The money market continues remarkably easy. Little has been doing in Continental stocks, but the accounts received on the 13th, were of a most encouraging character. In American securities there had been no falling off in demand, and prices had not undergone any material change. The English funds had steadily advanced dur- ing the week. 923 a 93, for ‘transfer, and the same for settling day. Bank stock, 198}. Exchequer bills, 48 a 51 premium. Affairs In Rome, THE CAPITULATION OF THE CITY TO THE FRENCII— ESCAPE OF GARIBALDI WITH TEN THOUSAND MEN, ETC. The capitulation of the Eternal City to the French is complete. ‘The Moniteur contains a despatch from General Oudinot, which gives an elaborate and vivid de- ecription of the final assault made onthe 29th of June. The Romans fought most desperately, leaving 400 dead, with 125 prisoners in the hands of the French, including 19 officers of all ranks, none of whom are described as foreigners. The French only admit 9 killed, and 110 wounded. The Assembly, in its last sitting, unani- mously voted the constitution of the republic, and ordered it to be deposited in the capitol, as the ex- pression of the unanimous wish of the Roman people. The constitution is, by a vote of the As- sembly, to be engraved on marble, and placed in the capitol. They also ordered a faneral service to be celebrated in St. Stephen for those who had fallen in defence of the republic. ‘Lhe entrance of the French troops, en masse, | into Rome did not take place till seven o'clock of the evening of the 3d. inst. A proclamatien of the National Assembly an- nounced the arrival of the French, and recom- mended abstinence from all vengeance, as useless, and unworthy the dignity of the Roman people. General Oudinot and his staff were disgusted by the National Guard and the Corps de Garde, be- cause on his passage, they did not rise and pay him the military salute due to his rank; the barricades had to be pulled down by the French soldiers them- | selves, in the absolute dearth of Roman laborers. | At dark the troops were consigned to their vanous quarters, Garabaldi sueceeded in escaping from Rome, with 10,000 men; he was loudly applauded as he pasced through the city. He had been in the di- rection of Jerrsima, where it is probable he would fall in with some detached force of the Neapoli- tans or Spaniards, to whom he might give trouble. Hiis intention, itis said, 1s to invade the kingdom of Neples. The first division of the French ex- peditionary army, itis said, was sent out in pur- suit of hum on the 4th. inst. | The Corriere Mercantile, ot Genoa, of the 7th, states that a government, composed of three in- dividuale—one Roman and two French—had been established at Rome. By the latest accounts, the Roman municipality had proclaimed that no convention had been made the French. The pontifical arma had been put up, but the tri-colors remained. | The regular Koman troops would be stationed at Lerniand Ferratina. They were at the last ac- counts in barracks at Rome. In speaking of arrangements of settlement for the fuvure, of the n States, the Paris corres- dent of the Tunes says :— _ “Thave every reason to belies it from no otfierl sutiefied with the ceived trom G these accou ter there has « , though I have owerament c are to evacuate the erty, 'y 5,000 men, and that the s agreed, on the part of cuate Bologna end Ancons,!eaving a comparatively stall number in the forts.” It is further said, thot it was in consequence of this arrangement that the Army of the Alps was dissolved. Such is the substance of the account stated to have been received from Gaeta, and which, if correct, will no doubt soon be confirmed. @he Hungarion War, THE DEFEAT RIANS ON TICE DANUTE— TREMENDOUS MATTLE IN TRANSYLVANIA BETWEEN THE RUSSIANS AND HUNGARIANS—REPORTED TRI- VMIM OF THE LATTER, PTC., ETC The Hungarians continue to carry on the un- equal struggle with indomitable energy and co: rage. Advices from Vienna,of the 7th inst, have been re- ceived. The statements about the victory won by the Ban Jellwchich, at St. Thomas, proved to be altogether unfounded. The Ban is still in the back ow THE HONG country, and, though he has had an engagement with the Megyars, the affair seems to have been of little importance. The imperial troops on the right bank of the Danube, after leaving Raab, followed the retiring Hungarians, and appear to have ob- tained some advantege at Acs, where it is said 500 | Jiungarians were made prisoners. The Austrian head quarters were then removed to Babalona, where the Em eror was. The Ilungarians appear to have retreated to an entrenched camp and works at the head of a bridge thrown from the ! right bank of the Danube, to Comorn, from which point they mancuvred with 20 squadrons of horse, and kept op a fire with 50 guns for eight hours; but | their infantry remained in their entrenchments. One field battery ventured beyond the protection | of the guns in the entrenchments, and a regiment of Austrian light horse attacked and captured the battery, after cutting down the greater part of the men at their guns. The battery consisted of six | eix-pounders and two twelves. *, for the removal of a great | The Russian corps having entered Trantylyn- nia, has suceceded, after an obstinate resistance, adopted by our government, would give to our | in taking Fornases Pase, which was strongly for. merchants a just division of that sort of trade,with | tified a partof Afi reat Brirwin » Which is now wholly possessed by The Russian troops foreed their way through with the bayonet, and entered Cronstadt the sume day, the 20th Jane.

The Cossacks succeeded in capturing General Kyes, who was wounded, and had been handed over to the Austrians. Other accounts from Transylvania state that the other Russian corpshas entered Bristic, after a sharp action with the Hungarians. The Austrian garrison at Raab had been coin- pelled to surrender that fortress. A letter from Vienna, in the Independence, of Brussels, states that the Hungarians have retaken Sziegetin, and that the Diet was to be opened on the 8d inst. Intelligence has been received by the Nation, a Belgian journal, to the following eflect: **On the Ist and 2d of July, Dembinski, wath his own corps d’armee, and all the reserve of the veteran troops drawn from the army of operations now acting in different parts of Hungary, amounting altogether to 80.000 men, attacked the Rusaian army, consisting of 110,000, commanded by Prince Paskiewitech, in the defiles between Miskolos and Oilan. The attack took place in flank, so as to drive the corps commanded by the Prince in per- son into the marshes of the Theiss. We have not receved any details of this important bat- tle ; but the success seems to have been so complete that the same Hungarian reserves of veterans, to the number of 40,000 men, marched the next day by Voaaten for Comorn, to reinforce the army of Gorgey, who, from the 4th of July, has been able to resume the offensive against the Austrian armies. Dembinski, with 55,000 men, was in pureuit of the remains of the army of Pas- kiewitch ; and it is probable that, immediately the news of Dembinski’s victory becomes known, the warlike population m the defiles in which the Rus. sian prince has imprudently engaged himself, will rise en masse to cut off his retreat through the passes.”” Kossuth issued on the 27th ult., at Bada-Pesth, a proclamation calling upon the people in the most emphatic language, to rise en masse against the.in- | vader. The campaign against the Austro-Russian army, is called a crusade; and it 1s manifestly in- | tended to work on the religious feelings of the people. The proclamation is said to be most elo- quent and impassioned. Kossuth left Pesth, on the 2d inst., for Szegeclin. Interesting from Venice, THE BOMBARDMENT OF THE CiTY—THE STRUGGLE NOT YET OVER. Venice still holds out against the Austrians, and continues to make a vigorous resistance. ‘The | city carries on its powerful defence from two small forts, about 1,000 yards from the first houses of Venice—one situated on the small island of San Seconde, and the other on the railroad bridge.— The Austrian shells do not reach further than 400 yards within Venice. Provisions are very scarce. Nothing but black bread, half baked, to be obtained. Meat and wine have become luxuries. Still, acalm determination to resist reigns among the Vene- tans. Sardi THE INTERFERENCE OF ENGLAND IN THE AFFAIRS OF TrALY. Advices from Turin, of the 8th i state that M. Prendi, Secertary of the Sardinian Legation in London, had arrived at Turin with despatches of great and urgent importance. It is said that | they contain the wish of Lord Palmerston that Sar- dinia should not at present resume negotiations of peace with Austria, as England wished to save Italy from the abyss into which she appears ready to fall. Prussia, THE BADEN INSURRECTION. Radstadt was fearfully bombarded on the 7th, inst., | but according to the last accounts it held out, and | the garrison had hoisted the black flag, in token “that they would rather die than surrender.

M. de l'Huys has been despatched as Ambassa- dor Extraordinary to the Court of St. James, with | much apparent haste, with the object, as has been conjectured, to neutralize Lord Palmerston’s de- cided, or apprehended, interveatioa in favor of the Romans. In regard to this subject, the London Sun of the 13th inst. says that the Marquis of Normandy has presented a note to the French government from Lord Palmerston, demanding explicit explanation as to the intentions of France with regard to | Rome; how long it is intended that the Freach army shall ocevpy the Roman territory, and whe- | ther it is resolved to gupport the Pope. ‘The legitimist and jesuit journals are setting up acry for the wbsolute and unconditional restora- tion of the Pope, but the correspondent of the Times says, upon reliable information, that no such folly is intended by the French government. Several members of the Legislative Assembly have suggested that it might be prorogned from | the 15th August to Ist October, without detriment to the public business, and a conuniasion forth- with teke the proposition into consideration. The difficulues which continue to beset the French government, particularly in regard to the Italian question, occasioned the funds greatly to fluctuate ateach turn of fortune. The 5 per cents closed on the 12th, at 88f. 15e. In consequence of the surrender of Rome, the orders received at Toulon for embarking rein- forcements of all kinds has been countermanded, and a steamer already at cea with troops recalled. The movements of Ledra Koilin have been at length traced out. He has, until recently, been secreted in Paris,and on the Mth inet., reached London im the Ostend eteamer, from Belgium, in ecmpany with Martin Bernard, Etienne Arago, and Sargeant Boichot. The present accounts of the cholera are favor- able. The deaths have fallen to fewer than thirty per day, and are daily decreasing. The total number of deaths in Paris and suburbs, since the ' breaking out of the disease in January last, is said to be more than 20,000. The council of revision has confirmed the sen- tence of death pronounced by court martial on Ceptain Kleber, whe immediately applied to the Court of Cassation. The Danish War, VICTORY OF THE DANES OVER THE SCHLISWIG-nOL- STRINERS, BIC. A signal victory has been gained by the Danes over the Holsteiners, in North Jutland, which is announced to the Minister of Marine, of Copen- hagen in the following telegraphic de: the commander of the Danish squadron :— « The commandant at Frederiea has demanded transport vescels for upwards of 800 pr of whom were officers.

THE WEATHER, THE CHOLERA, AND THE CRors. ‘The proceedings in Parliament are devoid of general interest. D'Israel's promised movement in the House of Commons, designed to test the sense of members im regard to the present free- trade policy of the British government, has been negatived by a vote of 206 over 156, The weather has been unusually hot; Monday iscaid to have been the hottest day ever expert enced in London, and in Liverpool and vicinity the heat hae not been less excessive.

The disease has broken out in a very fatal form in Southampton, and seems to in- ect the entire southern coast. The growing crops, throughout England and Treland, are represented as giving good promise of an unusually abundant and early harvest. The potato disease has appeared, but in a very limited number of places in Ireland, and at pre- sent gives no alarm, whilst the weather, both in England and Ireland, is all that could be desired. Ireland, SUIPERINGS OF THE PROPLE—THE CROPS—TRANS- PORTATION OF SMITH O’ERIEN. The Irish papers contain most distressing ac- counts of intense suffering and misery that prevails in many parts of that ill-fated country—particular- ly in the southwestern districts, All the work- houses are filled to repletion, and thousands of persons appear actually without the means to keep life and soul together until the crops are available, which fortunately will, from present appearances, be very early. The distress will be severe, almost beyond example. On the 9th inst., Messrs. O’Brien, Meagher, Mc- Manus and O’Donoho, were embarked on board the war schooner Swift, which immediately sailed for Van Diemen’s Land. Previous te the departure of the prisoners, they prepared and placed in the hands of a mutual friend an address to their coun- trymen, of which the London Times sa: “It must be admitted that its tone is unobjec- tionable—nay, even more moderate than could be expected from men, the whole tenorof whose pre- vious conduct favored the supposition that they were acting not as free agents, butas the victims of some unknown species of downright lunacy.” The Markets, COTTON. The sales for the week are 62,530 bales, at afurther advance of jd. per pound. The quota- tions at the close of yesterday’s market were, for fair Upland and Mobife, 5d.; fair Orleans, | 5jd., and for middling qualities, 4jd. to 4d.— 27,000 bales were taken by speculators, and 4,700 for export.

These incon- | tistencies are so glaring that no confidence is placed in what the Board of Health report, and | their bulletins are entirely disregarded by the pub- | lic, as a criterion of the ravages which the cholera | is making among us. And not only is their bulle- | tin disregarded, bat it lessens the confidence of , our citizens in the report of the City Inspector, | which is entitled to full credit, because, a certifi- cate of a medical man, stating the disease cf which persons die, must be filed with him, before a permit for burial willbe granted.

The canvass is going on warmly for the August elections, and candidates for the different offices are addressing the people at different places throughout the State. Dr. J. S, Ford, of the army, has made a report of his expedition from Austin to El Paso, He made the jour- ney in 22 days, by the nearest road. Dr. Ford com- puted it to be 685 miles. He went out by some Indian camps on the Colorado, following this course to its head; hence crossing « tributary of the Choeo or Blue River to its main branch; hence to Necas, which he followed 20 miles; then struck off 45 miles, when he made Foyah, a swift stream, 48 feet wide and 18 inches hence for the northern end of Payment to Puerto Casriso, upwards of 60 miles, to the Eagle ‘Tail Pass, which is 16 miles fram the Rio Grande—mak- ing 100 in all to El Paso. Trade with San Antonio was considerably depressed, in consequence of Indian forays ; but the loss was in ‘@ measure compensated for by trade with the army. Dr. Ford has made a report of the expedition from Austin to El Passo, The journey was accomplished in thirty-two days, the distance by the nearest route being computed at 559 miles, ‘Another party of tepographical engineers has been sent by General Harney to explore the route to El Passo by the head waters of San Saba. ‘A project is on foot, and subscriptions have been opened at Henderson, Texas, for clearing out the Sa- bine River, and making it navigable for steamboats of the ordinary size. An affray occurred at La Grange, between a man by the name of Bostwick and General Mayfield, which arore out of a difficulty at a special election, in which the former was killed. Bostwick threatened to take May field’s life, upon which a struggle ensued, and the parties were for the time separated. Subsequently, however, Bostwick fired at Mayfield without effect; Mayfield returned the fire, which took effect in the breast of Bostwick, killing him immediately, General Mayfield delivered himself up to the authorities, Another affray occurred in the town of Rusk, on the $d ult., in which General Joseph L. Hogg was killed by Rufus Chandler. The Texas Ster, states that parties have gone to the Washington Mountains in search of gold, which is said to exist there in abundance. Funeral Honors to the Late President Polk. Bariimons July 25, 1949. The funeral obsequies in honor of the late ex-Presi- dent Pelk took place at Monument Square this even- ing. During the whole day the national flag was dis- played at balf-mast from the shipping in port and all public places throughout the city. All business was suspended and the stores closed at 5 o'clock. The bells of the churches tolled and minute guns were fired, from 5to7, The ather was miled and beautiful. Col.

Childs, were out in strong force and made an imposing appear- ance. « Shortly after 7 o'clock, Judge Le Grav ascendeda stand erected for the purpose, and pronounced a glow- ing eulogy upon the life and character of Mr. Polk.— He referred to the humble origin of the deceased. He commenced, said the orator, in the world friendlessy and by his own energy aud force of character rose, step by step, to the most exalted post in the world. — He asserted that Mr. Polk had always been firm and consistent; always attentive to his duties, acquitting himself ecreditably in all the important trusts which the partiality of his countrymen had from time to time committed to him. He alluded to what he called Mr. Polk’s suecessful Administration—the glory of the Mexican war—the great accession of territory resulting therefrom—the settlement of foreign dificulties—and finally, leaving the country in @ state of great pros- perity. Hoe spoke feelingly of exalted private worth, his kind hearted, charitable nature, and his calm and resigned exit from ameng the living.
