18 DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
The steam ship Great Western arrived at New
York, Sunday noow, from Liverpool, which place
she left the 17th nltimo, and brings news to that
date from Londen and Liverpool.
We are indebted to Messrs. Wheeler, Agent of
Harnden's Express, and Ryer, of the Telegraph,
for the New York Extra Sun of Sunday, from
which we make the following extracts of foreign
news by this arrival.
The commercinl accounts by this packet are
more favorable than could have been anticiputed.
The British government have selected Buutry,
near Cork, as an Amencan steam packet station.
The probability of a war with the United States
occupies the public mind on the other side of the

Nothing of any interest has been broached iu
the British Parliament since last advices.
The Queen and Prince Albert are going to the
Continent in August.
The Cotton market was active in the early part
of lust week, and a fiood deal of speculation had
been going on, without, however, any advance
in price. The arrival of the * Great Western "
stopped the rage for speculation, as it showed
that the last erop is hikely to exceed even the
grest crop of 1843. Since the Halifux steamer
came in, the warket bas been inactive, aud nothing
seems likely to revive at but a catastrophe which
every one woald deplore—war with America.
In the manufacturing districts, trade, which
was somewhat languid a short uwme since, has
im'f‘toud. i .

vention respecting the right of search, agreed up
on by the commissioners (the Duke de Broghe
and {h. Lushington), which bad been transmit
ted for approval from Loudon to Paris, had been
returned with aw objection 1o ene of its provi
sions. The precise lerms ol the proposed con
vention were not of course known, butit was
understood that they contemplated wtreatise with
she African native cliefs 10 preveut the sale and
embarcation of sluves.
If the public securities are to be taken as a test,
the probability of the Oregon question being set
tled otherwise than friendly seems very remwote,
Notwithstanding this confidence, the subject is
alluded to. in private circles, as one that is very
;;cklioh. and that a trifling watter may fon into a
ame.

rupture with America, mu)rovcd on the arrival
of the news by the Great Western, and maintain

condemnation in France in the 15th century, und
these which had induced the Pope 1o pronounce
the dissolution of a community that Frederick
the Great sione, in all Europe, did not consider
dungerous. M. Thiers, in concluding, called on
the Cabinet to execute the laws, and dissolve a
religious congregation which was the sole canse
of the divisions that had lately manifested thew
selves in the Catholic community.

The proceedings which took rlnce in the Honse
of Commons on Friday night, 16th May, are im
yortant in the present position of matters beiween
".ngland and the United States. The debate re
ferred more particularly to the state of the navy,
which the professienal members contended, was
in o most ineflicient state—badly manned, and al
together disgraceful to the country and to the
service., The admission of this inefliciency was
made by Sir Geo, Cockburn and the other rep
resentatives of the Admirality Board, and the
blame was thrown on the Exchequer, the Chan
ecllor of which evinced no willingness to place
the wooden walls of the nation in a better posi
ton, The same complaint has been made every
year that we huve been at peace, but compluints
on this score are fruitless, unless the Government
of the day will consent to keep as many men in
pay during a period of peace us the exigencies of
the country would require in war. The Govern
ment, however. will be, probably, induced, in
consequence of the strong representations which
are wmade at a critical time, to provide a remedy
for some of the evils dilated upon.
From Wilmer & Smith's Times,
The time which has elapsed since the steamer
sailed has been too brief to adwit of any change
in public feeling on this side of the water. In
deed, no change is likely to occur. Onr Ameri
can friends can hardly fail to be gratified with
the calm and dispassionate temper in which the
subject is treated. Hopes are entertained that
the intimation conveyed in one of the New York
Ruper-. that a steciul minister—probably Mr,
“an Buren—had been selected 10 proceed to the
Court of St. James's, for the purpose, if possible
of satisfuctorily arranging the point in dispute.—
We can only repeat what we have previously
stated, that on tlw part of the British nation no
desire exists to measure lunces with the United
States about the Oregon turritory ; the numbrage
is to be found in the language of Mr. Polk; but
all politicians appear to be ugreed that the pres.
ent is the time—now or never—for bringing the
uflair to a conclusion.
O'Connell is going to put Peel’s temper to a
severe test by holding another series of “ mon

i he avails himsell of the magnanimous offer of
the General Assembly, made to him in Jannary
last, he comes out of prison, not a free and equal
citizen of his native State of Rhode Island, but
legally speaking, a branded felon, an infamous
traitor, for the finger of Algerine scorn to puint

the club of Algerine vio'ence to strike at, or for
the double barrelled pistols of Algerine malice to
shoot at with impunity. e comes ont under all
the disabilities and consequent disadvantages a nd
exposures of un infamous sentence hanging over
his head. These disabilities are numerous. \We
will name but one of them. He is deprived by
this sentence, like a slave of all the benefit aml

sinuate that the great majority of the Law and

him; but we do say, because we do know, thut
there are individuals muong that party who are
Algerines in the worse sense of that term—men
who hate him so cordially that they would deem
it an act of patriotism to disable him for life, or
to rid the State of him We were preseut at his
trial and saw wen on swearing to their own im
partiality admitted on the jury that tried him, who

for him."” Even in the county of Providence
such expressions have been and still are current.
Now suppose he shouid come ont of prison un
der these circumstances, and walk out of an eve
ning unattended to visit Liw aged and afflicted fu
ther and his other friends. It is probable that he
might be watched, waylaid and knocked down by
ruffians. As his oath would be no evideuce, nun
less some person happened to be near, what re
dress conld he have? None atall. What would
such a discharge from prison be worth to him?
i He must be imprisoned still, or always go armed
“and guarded and taunted
Now this is but one of the disabilities, but one
of the marks of slavery branded upon his fore- &
head by his sentence. The current answer to | |
this is he might petition the Assembly and getall |
these marks obliterated. But, as Gov. Jackson [
well remarked, what reason has Mr. Dorr to as- ¢
sume, as a matter of certainty, that the General ‘
Assembly wonld grant his petition? They per- s
sonate the sovereiguty ; he is their subject. T'he
sovereignty grants or withholds favors as its will |
and pleasure and its view of expediency at the
time dictate. The Assembly might deewm it ex- :
pedient to put him upon a long probation, or to |
remove but a part of the disabilities of his sen- !
tence, or to reject his petition altogether. No
other mau but Mr. Dorr is required or expected :
to act, in matters of importance, upon such un. | |
certainties, us if' they were certainties, But we |
are told that the unconditionul Liberationists will ’l
soon have a majority in the legislature. We an
swer, not if Mr. Dorr consents 10 come out with i
these disabilities attached to him. He would then ‘
lose the confidence of his friends and the respeet :
|of his enemies, nnd the removal of these disabili- |
ties wonld, in all probability, be postponed indefl
initely. Mr. Dorr never will leave his prison to
be @ football for his political enewies to kick
with impumity. }

THOMAS W. DORR. r
The strictures of the Journal of Commerce, on
the address of the Democratie State Central Com
mittee, which we noticed in a former paper, have
drawn forth the following remarks in the New
York Evening Post, in relation to the offence fur ¢
which Durr was tried and convicted, and for |
which he has sutfered so protracted a term of im
pnsonment. \We recommend thew to the perus |
sal of the friends of liberation. ‘
“ Truth, it is said, cannot travel fust enough to
overtake error; aud we suppose the thousand and |
one falsehoods respecting Mr. Dorr, with which - |
the whig press has teemed these three years, will |
have left impressions on the minds of many of |
their readers, which no truth or explanation, sub- '
sequently uttered, will ever remove.
T'his consideration, however, shall not prevent
our endeavoring once more to set the yournul
right respecting Mr. Dorc's offered release.—
The dominant party in Rhode Islend has not of.
fered him a pardon, nor simple liberation from
prison, but liberation without restoration to any
privileges of citizenship, and te¢luire at the samo
time the mockery of an oath of al eaiunce. What ‘
is the language of the offer? “We will let yotr o ¥
| out of prison, but we will hold you civilly dead . |
You shall have no right of citizenship, no powe r |
to hold property, or to make contracts ; you shal | |
not serve as a juror, or as a mnfi-trale; you ¢ *
| oath shall never be received ; but though despis -
| ing and rejecting it in all other cases, we requin »
ou 1o begin by taking the oath of allegiance.”- -
{s there any magnanimity in this language? 1
| there any justice in it? What is it but insultin g
| mockery, to tell a man, ** Your oath shall ot b e
| received to dispose of a dollar, but we require 1t |
| as a protection to the state.”
In our judgment, Mr. Dorr has committed : no
| erime. In the judgment of our whig brethren Le
| bas committed the crime of treason; an offen ce
| against the state. State offences are not no w
) runiohed with death, or with imprisonment {i r
| lite: aecording 1o the practice of most civiliza d
| nations. A distinction is made between theman |
" | common felonies. The ministers of Charles th o
Tenth were not treated like thieves and murder -
1| ers; nor was Louis Bonaparte. We have not
t | been inattentive observers of events, during th e
- | last twenty years ; and we venture therefore to us -
. | sert that no Christian government has during thi t.
s | time treated a state prisoner with so much cruelt y
. | and indiguity us the little state of Rhode Islan 4.
o | [t must not be forgotten that Mr. Dorr has ac t
ed from a sincere belief in a political principle..
Y | His enewies may think him wrong, deladed if
they please, but l{ney cannot think him wilfuw i,
- | without over looking all the evidence. he n
n | they reflect upon his position in his own comm -
it ni:{y and the position of his family, and the strocag
t | inducements which he had to remain satisfi ed
t. | with things as they were, they cau find no oth cr
solution of lis condact, than a sincere devotion
-| to a principle that he considered too important to
>| be waived. I they condemn his acts never so
% | strongly, they must, we should think, respect Lis
% | motives.
In this view, his punishment seems altogether
o | 00t of proportion even to the crime charged u p
or |On him, lso personal harm to any one result ed
s. | from his acts. To persevere in his rumi-hmp nt
seems wore like the vindictiveness of a politi al
lurly. than the severity of justice. Our Rho de
r+ | Islund brethren should learn that a party cant ot
0, |be put down, nor a canse overthrown by such
) | proceedings. Man's better nature revolts at it
Sympathy with Mr. Dorr will procure any
n l'r{onda 10 his party, who would otherwise ha ve
. | remuined on J::othor side. The tyranny, if it
o 1 | does not relent, will overthrow itself, proving U at
it is as shrort-sighted as it is malevolent.

HEALTH OF GOV. DORR.
The Journal persists in denying that the health ‘
of Gov. Dorr is particularly bad at the present
time, or that it is worse than it was at the com
mencement of his tern of imprisonment, and re- J‘
fers to the Warden of the State Prisonasa voucher.
We do not think the Warden would bear them
ont in their statement ; but even if he should, it
would not be evidence of the fact. Evidence is
that which convinees the mind ; and a statement
does not necessarily become evidence becanse it
is certified or sworn to. [t it be impossible or
very improbable, it will not be believed. Gov.
Dorr entered that prison afli.cted with the rhea
matism and other physical complaints. He has
been for more than a year subjected to prison
discipline and prison fare, and exercise and fresh
air have been interdicted. Now it is an insult to
the Journal's readers to attempt to make them
‘believe that his maladies have notincreased under
snch circumstances, and it is a slander on the
Warden to assert that he will substautiate such a
statement. Dorr's maladies have increased to an
alarming extent, as every person of common
sense might suppose they would under the rigors
of prison discipiine, and this fact is confirmed by
undonhted authority ; and we have reason to ap
prehend that if his liberation be deferred till after
the June session of the General Assembly he
never will come out alive, but lis death must be
prematurely induced by protracted confinement.
We wish the faet were otherwise, but as faithful
chroniclers, we must declare to onr readers the
trith as 1t comes 1o our knowledge, and at the
same time, express a hope grounded on a reno
vated feeling of sympathy in the public mind, that
the members ol the legislature will not become
nccessaries to s murder by continuing his -
prisomment beyond the June session,
MUNICIPAL ORGANIZATION.
The officers elected at the late ward meetings
to the several departments of the city govern
ment, assembled at the Council Hll, on Mon
day last, and organised for the ensuing year.—
The oath of office was administered to Thomas
M. Burgess, Mayor, by Justice Stuples of the
Suapreme Court, and the Aldermen snd members
of the Common Council having been sworn in,
the Mayor delivered an address to both Boards,
in whieh he gives a compendious statement of
our manicipal uffairs, und makes many important
suggestions for improvements in our city gov
ernment. Amongst the recommendations of he
Mayor is the very judicious piece of advice a
zainst increasing the rate of taxation for the pres
ot year, which we hope will have its weight on
a. body &\'hich has been very unscrupulous in
putting its hands into the people’s pockets, and
increasing the burthens of lax payers beyond all
reason. The Mayor al«o recommends that acen-
sus of the city be takeu during the year, a census
having becn taken here in 1825 and 1335.
In relation to the proposed location of the de
ot of the Providence and Worcester Ruilroad
tZompany on a part of the land covered by the
waters of the Cove, the Mayor malkes this very
seasonable suggestion :
The General Assembly have invested the City
Council with full power to aet upon the subject
The beneficial results to be expected from so great
an improvement as this company propose to
make, demand that it shonld receive every fucility
which our City corporation can consistenily grant.
1" doubt not that a location can be determined
apon which ma:{v be advantageous to the railroad
proprietors an purfoecllfi consistent with the in
terests of our citizens. But as itis very probable
that in the arrangement of the detils ol any grant
that may be propqgsed, there may arise an oppos
ition from owners of property, | strongly recom
mend that the City Council cause the harbor and
river to e curefnfly sutveyed, nnd that the vpin.
ious of experienced engineers be procured us to
the most practical meaus of preserving and im
proving the depth of water. By such means will
the members of the Council acquire the informa
tion which will enable them to decide correctly,
and all parties who are interested will be induced
10 acquiesce cheerfully in such decision as may be
made,
The waters of the Cove, we hope will not be
farther encroached on, than they huve heretofore
been under the State and Municipal authorities. '
T'he heulth of the city demands that these waters |
should be permitted to flow within their accus- 1
tomed limits, and we hope that every citizen who
values the prosperity of the city will protest a
guinst any farther encroachment. About tweunty
years since, the present boundaries were fixed
by a most judicious board of commissioners, and
a public road was laid out around the cove, to
cross over the Wanasquatucket ut the four stacks,
near the State prison; and under the assurance
that that boundary would remain permanent, the
owners of adjacent lands on Westminster and
Market streets filled out their lots to the line, and
made Cove setreet, fifty feet in width, at their
own individual expense, for the public use.
The Common Council was organised by the
appointment of Jumes C. Hidden, as Prusident,
‘aud Albert G. Greene, Clerk. An appropriation
Lof $5OO was made for the celebration of the 4th
of July, and considerable other business was
transacted. After which the two Boards met in
convention, and proceeded to the appointment
~of city officers for the ensumng year—the old in
~cumbents, so far as we have seen, being reelected.
SMITHFIELD TOWN MEETING.
Thé result of the annual election of town offi
cers in Swithfield, last Monday, is highly auspi
cions to the cause of liberation, The Democracy
arose in its full strength, and swept out every
vestige of “law and order” whiggism from a par
ticipation in the municipal governmont. Orin
Wright was elected Town Clerk, vice General
Barnes, by a large majority. Judge Boffum was
elected President of the Town Council, and the
other democratic candidates were elected mem
bers of the Board, all by overwhelming majorities
over their “law and order” opponents.
A deceptive attempt was made to lure the De
mocrats into a false security, by a pretence on
the part of their opponents that they should make
no opposition to the democratic candidates, but
should suffer them to walk over the course with
out gompetitors. At the same tiwe, a secret op
position was orgamsed, and on Sunday, the day
beflore the town meeting, a day which that party
pretend to regard as sacred, they had their emis
sarics in all parts of the town, diligently employ
ed in humting up voters and urging hem to ate
tend the polls, to vote against the democratic can
didatesa. The * law and order "’ town clerk, and
other influential men were far from being inac
tive on Sunday, in preparing for the Monday's
contest. But the Democracy were aware of the
duplicity of their professions, and were watching
their movements and circumventing their secret
designe, ¥o that they were in no way deceived
nor thrown off’ their guard.
The result was a glorious Democratic triumph.
We rejoice in the restoration of Mr. Wright to
the place of Town Clerk, for we know him to be
a true Democrat, an unwavering Dorrite, a gen
tleman, and a faithful publie officcr ; and we are
not less gratified at the election of Judge Buflam
and his associates, and other town officers for the
same reasons,
We congratulate all the friends of liberation
on the result of this town meeting, It is ano
ther voice in favor of opening the prison doors
for the release of Gov. Dorr

LATEST FROM TEXAS.
The steamship New York arrived at New Or
leans the 24th ult. in 33 hours from Galveston,
having as a passenger on board, Gen Samuel
Houston, ex-President of Texas and family,
bound to the Hermituge.
By this arrival a proclamation is received 14+
sued by President Anson Jones of Texas reciting
in its preamble that * the people of Texas have
evinced a decided wish that prowpt and definite
action should be had on the proposition for an.
uexation as submitted by the U. 8. Government,
and that a convention should be ossembled for
this purpose’” which subject, the president larther
says *is competent for the people alone to de
cide,” and as ** nio authority is given by the Con
stitution of this Republic, to any branch of the
Government, to call a Convention, and to change
the organic law=this being a right reserved 1o
the people themselves, and which they alone can
properly exercise,” he therefore recomwmends to
the citizens of Texas that vur election for depu
ties to a convention be held in the different coun
ties of the Republic, on Wednesday, the 4th day
of June [this day] on a basis proposed by him
“~and that the suid Deputies so elected do nssems
‘ ble in Convention at the city of Austin, on the
Fourth of July' next, for the purpose of consid.
ing the proposition for the annexation of Texas
10 the United States, and any other proposition

“which may be made concerning the nationality of

GREAT FIRE IN QUEBEC.
A wost appaling fire took place at Quebec on
W ednesdey last, which has reduced a great por
tion of that city 1o a pile of smoking luins. The
fire commenced in Richard’s Tannery, in St. Va.
liers suburbs about noon, the wind blowing west,
It spread with great rapidity, and ut one o'clock,
the wind changed to the Northeast, carrying the
devastating flame in another direction, whence it
spread in all ynariars, and was raging with in
creased ardor at half' past four in toe uflernoon.
At what time, it was effectually checked, does
not uppear, but it was not ull it had spread deso
lation throughout the city. A large number of
buildings, of all kinds, were destroyed, among
them the Hospital, where many sick persous
perisbed in the flames. The loss of human life
is very great, twelve dead bodies having been al
ready found, and it is apprehended that others
will be discovered. The loss of property is esti
mated variously, at Montreal, from $1,600,000 to
- $3,000,000. Relief has been promptly forwardly
‘ from Montreal, by the Provinecial Government,
the Catholic Bishop, and other sources, and meet
; ings of the Odd Fellows were called to contribute
ineans for suceoring the distressed inhabitants,

Mr. Russ is well calculated to give satisfaction in
an establishment of this kind, as those among us
who were wont to visit the American at Boston,
can amply testify
Joussrox Towx Mekrixeg.—The clection of
town officers 100 k place in this town on Monduy,
and resulted in the choice of Democratic officers
throughout. The * law and order” party were

regular opposition to the Democratic nominees,
and suffered them to procead in the election of
their own friends without molestation, Here is
another town which raised its unanimous voice
in favor of Dorr’s unconditional and honorable
liberation.
