By the British steamer Tay, arrived
at Cat Island, on Saturday evening, we
have received our full files of Mexican
newspapers and correspondence, reach

and to the Cih from Queretaro. Through

The Poles arc bitterly disappointed in
not rcceving aid from tlic Prussian Go
vernment for the restoration of their na
tionality. At Prcsburg great cruelties
have been practiced against the Jews.
Three hundred families, by order of the

The progress of the war.in Italy does
not secin to be favorable to the Italian
cause. The army under Charles Al
bert continues comparatively inactive.
The Austrians keep close within the
fortresses at Verona and Mantua. Udine,
the capital of the Fruili, capitulated to
the Austrians under Count Nugent or
the 3d ultimo. Count Nugent is seek
ing to effect a junction with Reflets
ky, which if successful, will make a
force too strong for those of the Italians
now in the field.
The French Provisional Government
is about to despatch Count A ppony to
Vienna, with a view to reconcile the dif
ferences between Italy and Austria.—
This appears to be inconsistent with
the views of tho Republicans of France
and Italy.
The continued cflnrls of the Austrians
to recover sway in Italy will inevitably
result in a wnr with France, and prob
ably precipitate a general war in Eu
rope. Under this impression, the funds
in Paris have declined. The Austrians
it is reported, have bombarded Cracow.
If this bo true, the Paris demonstration
in favor of Poland, will be formidable,
and the complexity of events will be
come greater than ever.
Spain and Portugal continue tranquil.
Ireland.
Since our last a scene has taken pin
in Ireland which cannot fail, with the
other important cventsoccurringin Dub
lin and in the provinces, to have a great
and, we hope, pacific influence eventu
ally upon our excitable fellow-subjects.
We stated in our last that Mr. \V. 8.
O’Brien had proceeded to the South for
the purpose of promoting the agitation
of the Young Ireland party, ami the
honorable gentleman, with Mr. Mitchell
nnd Mr. Meagher, visited Limerick with
that object. The population of that
country had been greatly excited by in
flammatory addresses circulated by the
Old Ireland party, stigmatising Mr.
Mitchell us the ‘‘calumniator of O’Con
nell,” nnd as tho “ slanderer of the Cath
olic religion;” nnd the effigy of Mitch
ell, with a rope round the neck, was.
borne through the streets of Limerick.
In this stale of feeling of the Old Ire-
landers a soiree was given by theSursfield
Club Young Irclamlcrs to Messrs. O’Bri
en, Mitchelfand Meagher. A frightful ri-
ot was the consequence. The militaty

Obedient to the pledges of a partizan
caucus, rather than to the duties of his
station, and the national interests, the
Executive next sought to plunge us into
a war with England, for the sake of a
few acres of wild waste and mountain
land, beyond the line of 49 degrees, in
the sterile and uncultivated region of
the Oregon. Foiled in this attempt by

in his reply to tho address of the mag

not his present intention to “ proclaim”
the county and city of Dublin, but * that
an important change has taken place,
and that the few turbulent and desperate
men who have occasioned so much
alarm, having nowhere found the sup
port upon which they relied, agitation
has in a great measure subsided.” His
lordship adds, that it is better that the

and seditious speech-making are per

which the laws have invested him.
In Parliament, Sir W. Somerville has
introduced a measure which cannot be
tlccmed otherwise than a great step to
ward improving the electoral franchise
of Ireland. It will be al least one “ po
litical grievance” abated. The new bill
proposes .to define the franchise, extend
the constituencies, ami improve the sys
tem of registration. To accomplish these
objects, the bill abolishes all existing
franchises, and substitutes a simple ra
ting to the poor, of the net annual value
of per annum. Owners of fees sim
ple, to the value of jC4, will be fcntiiled
to vote. These alterations will extend

the Invalidcs.
