The Tahiti affairs afford one of the chief

It seems highly probable that had the govern
ments of England and France been manag
ed by statesmen of less political w isdom ami
principle than Sir Robert Peel and M. Gui
zot, these countries would have been at the
present time involved in a serious controver
sy. We are happy to perceive that the
London Morning Herald of Aug. '2d. entire
ly coincides with the views we expressed in
our last, relative to these statesmen. It ex
presses the opinion "that while the Govern
ment of Great Britain is conducted by such
men as Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of
Wellington, the government of France by
M. Guizot and Marshall Soult, a serious
quarrel between the two countries is impos
sible." In naming them it says, "we have
named precisely the two greatest living
statesmen and the two greatest living gen
erals." Mr. Pritchard had arrived in Eng
land. II. B. M. Ship Dublin, Rear Admiral
Thomas, is to be in Valparaiso this month

II. B. M. Ship Thalia, Capt Hope repla

nt these Islands in which Lord George bore
so prominent a part, are the occasion of his
return. At the last advices Admiral Thouars
was to sail the next day for France, w ithout
waiting for his successor. Upon the arrival
of both theso officers at their respective
countries, an investigation into the motives
and policy which led to the course they have
each pursued, will doubtless take place, and
the. world will then bo put in possession of
. The following extract from a late paper,
shows in a somewhat ludicrous light, the
excess of enthusiasm by which a portion
of the French nation arc actuated in opposi
tion to the Guizot ministry, and, we are
compelled to add, of facts also. The oc
currence happened at a banquet given at
Marseilles, to Berrycr the celebrated legiti
mist orator and lawyer. He proposed as a
toast Admiral Dupetit Thouars and re
cited his exploit at Tahiti, beginning
"Frenchmen in remote seas found them
selves opposed to English." At this phrase,
as the official report of the banquet relates
"an electrical shock seemed to be felt by
the assemblage; all eyes sparkled; all hands
were uplifted spasmodically; hats waved in
the air; an immense bravo rolled in Ion"
echoes of thunder." Berrycr continued,
"The protection of France was vouchsafed
to the helpless, anxious, ignorant natives
of Tahiti; but, yielding to the perfidious
suggestions of England, their Queen under
took to supersede the French flag by another.
Our brave seamen could not brook the out
rage; the Admiral, who represented France
at Tahiti he who carried our sword de
clared France to be sovereign of tho coun
try; he has been disavowed! let us drink
to him." Yes, resounded four hundred
voices, to him and to Berrycr; and the
report tells further, it was impossible to de
scribe the effect on his audience of his
solemn exclamation." "He, the Admiral,
who bore our sword." The aristocratic
ladies hugged and kissed the willing Cicero
of the cause; some fell into swoons, hy
sterics, convulsions." It is worthy of re
mark, that when Bcrrver visited England,
he received the attentions of the most distin
guished Whigs and Tories; the Lord Chan
cellor gave him a dinner, and eminent names
were selected to do bin: honor.
At the dinner alluded to above, Berrycr
was obliged to decamp before the dessert
could be consumed, by a skilful mameuvre
of the police.

A Pitoi D TiunuTE for a Seaman. The
crew of the U. S. ship Constellation, have
published a card to Commodore L. Kearney,
for his usage of them while under his com
mand, on a cruise of 41 months, around the
world. The card says:
"Of all the ships bearing the American
Hag, we do not hesitate to say that the Con
stellation was the happiest ship that ever left
tho United States, owing to tho mild disci
pline adopted by her commander. In him,
and him only, are wo indebted; not forget
ting, however, the Fleet Surgeon, (Rapaljo)
and Assistant Surgeon, (Grecnow) for their
kindness to those who were unfortunate
enough to require their medical aid."
The Commordore will bo remembered
with scarcely less pleasure, by the inhabi
tants of these Islands, for his frank and
generous conduct, while they were in a situ
ation of perplexity and trouble.
