We take advantage of an Express from this to Liverpool, to send you details of all the most important and latest ntuelligenc, which will be conveyed by the N. Ameri can Mail Steamer Acadia. During the whole of yesterday and to day, LAndon has been in the uttmost ex cited state in consequence of the appre hension of another individual who is be lieved to have intended an attempt on the Queen's life, and this within but a few boursof her Nlajesty's royal clemency hav ing been extended towards the man Fran cis, whom she had but jost sqved from the severest penalty of the law. The monster charged with the third at tempt, seems to he some misshappen fiend, whose appearance ouly bears comparison with the foul deed wish which he seems desirous to have distinguished himself. It was on her Majesty's return from the Cha pel Royal, yesterday, hat the wretch seems to have intended his purpose; but the whole affair seems so truly revolting and opposite to the national character, that we can scarcely briug our minds to credit Al its truth. Messrs. Sharp, Roberts & Co. the emi nent engineers of Manchestcr. have dis charged 300 of their operatives. One or two cotton mills, it is -tated, are on the eve of stapping their works. Great progre-a has been making in the gigantic undertaking of erecting a light house on the Goodwin Satds. The cais son is already plated perfectly air and wa ter tight at low water mark. The Senate at lamibrg has just pub lished a third list of subseriptions towards the relief of the sul'-er front the late lire. The total anount received up to the 15th tlt, was three nillious of tuarca blanco, i about 4,800,000f. A formal notire hart been :iven to Col. Burnett. by the Pacla of Eypt. that the trade of the next cotton crops' would he free, and all would lIe at liberty to pur chase them throughout Eaypt. Our news from China is to the 4th of April. The preparation for tqe defence by the Chinese of the river between W ham poa and Canton were still it prigres, al though now nearly completed, and their oflicers w ere unremitting tn their exertions to practise their artillerytnen in the use of great guns. Several skirmishes had taken place along the coast, but with to decisive result. al though in each the enemy had suflered considerable loss. More vigorous mea sores were, it is said, in contemplation, and a movement to the northward was in tended upoo the arrival of the expected re-inforcemeuts. Trade appears to have been carried on as usual, but, with the exception of cotton, not upona remunerating prices. Barter was the only means of commercial enterprise. The enabined forces would, it was sap osed, have maintained their present pos - am until about the eit f 0ne4 A i2 aaufactrtig and commercial disaress 4.4- i sfto exist, but most well-diposed -parties seear incline d to trace this to the over creative power of machinery than to any other cause. There has been extreme depression of late, owing to all parties haying withdrawn trom hustness opera tions until the passing ot the Tariff Bill enables them to see clearly what steps to take in their matters of retrular business and speculation. The Tariff being now settled, of course such causes are removed. The proceedings in Parliatanent have possessed no essential inerehl, business having been devoted to the Income Tax and the new Tariff questions, both of which are now pascal, It is expected that the business of the atession will he bruught to a close abount thte '20th of this month. Pardon of I'rancis-Another . flack upon *The convict Francias, who fired at the Queen, has been reprieved. There does1 exist a doubt that the pistol was loaded with a dest ructive substtance. le still as serts that be had not intended to injure her alajesty, but did it wsiah a view to get pro vided with a hotme for life-, simtilatr to that of Oxford. lIe will bo truu-sported for life jo a penal wttlement. The announeenft of his reprieve had scarcely been made known whlen the pith-1 -lie wer'e alarmed by a report that another and exactly- similar u.ttempt laud beena trunde upon her Maaje't y's life. Thte details are almost too forcia~l fair tnotice. It appears that as thc royal cortege was returtnitng on Sunday tromt ahe Chapel Royal itt St. Jame's to Buckittghnm Palace. a defor- t med youth presented and snaapped'a an old .rusty pistol at ahe cat ring~e in wshich hter TAlajsty was acated. ln was seized by nuother youth. who wrested die weapon from his'hand,. but the policemian in atten dance refused to take hiam in charge. be lieving it to be a hoax, on which ho w as permitted to escape. lit, was apprehendedl zn thec course of the day, whetn at was dis covered that lhe htad recenttly anal repeat edly beetn :card to s:ay thatt he admnired the conduct o(francis, and regretted thtat lie had tnot succeeded in his attempt; thzat r * Erancis was a brave fellow, atnd hte wished be had been in F.rancis's place, for he would do for the Queent; that he had a primne air-gun aund he wo~uld use them in thte same-ecatuse. The pistol had atn old flint lock with a screw and rifle barrel. Upon detaching the barrel, which was done with some difficulty, from the screw II having becomze exceedinagly rusty, owinga to its long disuse, there were found in it a portion of very coarse powder, a piece at tobacco-pipe, and some paper wadding.-c Alis motive is supposed to be the same as lI ihat of Franris. Frac.-The intelligence from the I Continent is at little interest, it we except la the publication of the royal ordinance an France, Imposing un ad valorem duty ot a 20 per cent. on all lineu yarn imported in- b to the kingdom. As may be expected, I such a revolutionary measure has produc- I - d great stir with English aanufacturets, C but it is expected the French government i will submit to an amelioration. r The Commerce informs us that a eon- t - ..r., ,. hanen entered into bet waen the h !rench and Neapolitan governmeuts for he transpoit of letters from Marseilles to 4aples, by stoo - packets. The ratifica inn of this treaty is daily expected. Let- i ers bett een the two cities,and consequent- r y between the two countries, which now I ake eight days, will in future take three lays less. Span.-Our advices from M1adrid are o the 27th of June. Some insurrectionary movements at Fi ;ueiras (Catalonia) and Barcelona had seen suppressed. Others were apprehen- ' led at St. Sebastian and Tolosa. I No colision had as yet taken place in I the cortes, between the now ministry and the coalition, and it was even believed that the latter would remain for the present on the defeosive. PortugaL-We have advices from Lis han to the 27th of June. Nci'her the slave trade nor the commercial treaty ntere i signed. The East.-We have letters from Alex- I andria to the 28th June. It was reported that Mehemet Ali had offered to the Porte to send seven regi nient, of the line to assist in dia tning the Syrian mountaineers. Ibrahim Pasha left Cairo on the 9th for Upper Egypt to superintend the erec tion of sugar mills, which he is building for his own account. The Pacha had aceceded to t.e propo bal submitted by the British Consul, that the import and export duties be for the fu ture levied upon valuation ofmerchandize, and in Egyptian cnrrency, without refer ence to the tariff of 1839. The trade in cotton had also been declared free. tle five per cent, duty upon the imports becoming payable from the 26th of June. The letters from Constantinople are to the 1Sth of June. India.-The commercial intelligence fron India is of a very unfavorable charac ter. Freights for shipping are in the most depressed state, and, indeed, every thin; seems at a stand still.

Three Me: icans were left dead on the field, and from their trails, many -w-ere dragged off; their killed and wounded could not have been less titan thirty men. I am happy, to in form you thtat we had not a man either killed or wounded. My whbale force, in eluding Capt.

The Brazos Farmer mentions the receipt a V ar, opetn boll of cotton on the 25th of ~ ne, and adds that the crops promises r rel in that vicinity.

BY We thankfully acknowledge the receip ofa number of public documents from the fon F. W. Pickens, g7 Wiley Freeman, who escaped from Ii prison of this District some five years since whilst awaiting trial for die crime of murderin; his wire, arrived here on Sunday morning abou three o'clock. By reference to an article fron the N. 0. Picayune, published in this day's pa per, it will be found, dat a brother's love wai alone the cause of Freeman's being a.ain incar cerated. 1 07 At Cincinnani on the 21st uIt., Flour hac fallen to $3 per barrel, and sales were dull a that. Wheat was selling at 50 cents per bushel Louisis.-The N. 0. &c states that tim Congressional delegation from Louisiana wil i stand precisely as before, viz: Dawson. demet crat; and White and Moore, Whigs. Peanspeania.-The Legislature. after a lon, debate, agreed upon a bill for Districting thi State, provided the Governor approves of it I They had also fxed on the 25th ult. as the da for adjournment. a7 We find in the last Temperance Adve cate, an attack upon the editor of the Yorkvill, Compiler, for publishing the following pledge and making such remarks upon it, as ve hav no hesitation in saying, every real Temperane man. who has that cause and the cause of hi country at heart, will with us say was correci That the editor of the Compiler, or his inform ant, may have been mistaken, as regards it r being the pledge of an orgacized body or noi r makes no material difference,-that such r pledgr has been in existence in the town a Columbia, the editor of the Advocate does nn deny,-and that it was the act of a number a the citizens of that town, who are desirous o making the Temperance cause answer the pnr I pos of a rail wea, to carry themselves or the friends into ofice. we presume the editor wit not have the hardihood to deny: lIUPledg.-j- We the undersigned, feelin, tug' ns of maintaining oureletions fret SImpoper infsences, do beriby pledgo wepssopeusges. As regard oar vio d the pledge, that ans. ins as we are, and always have been for the s,-ceof the Temperancecause, and ia whmic: we have taken an interest in forwarding in thiu district, should such doctrine as are contained in that pledge, be introduced into the Societ' at present existing here, or even atmonig an: portion of our citizens, we would use our ut most exertions to put it down, should it be al the sacrifice of all that has been done to-vard, the advancement of the Temperance cause. W~e cannot conceive that it was ever intended by the Brat movers in the cause of Temperanice, that thme subjects of Ileligion or Politics shotl in any way be connected with it, and all, whi in any manner make use of the cause, fur then purpose of creating Rteligious or Political ec. citement, does all the injury that its w'orst ene. mies could desire. So far as regards the nmmde of treating by candidates during an electioneer. ing campamign, we think they ought to be allow ed to act as they deem best, and that ntman or set of men have a right to dictate in what man. 'ner they shall act to ensure their election, so long as the laws of the country are tnot tram. pled upon by them. We coincide with the editor of the Compiler in his opinion of the manner in which the Temperance Sc'ieties ought to act, and therefore use his language: - Let thme Temperance reformation he car ried ou In a becoming spirit. Agitate ! agitate by temperance addre,.ses calcnlated to the un derstanidings of all-portraying tihe evils and ruin. whice. so ollen folnows in its, train ; and not by condemning those whose business it is to sell what constitutes the principal means of support of many a f~Anmily in tihe upper parts min this State. and wich pays a tax beneicmal to all of us; they have a right to sell, to give and to barter say what me, will, whether as a mcdi cine or not is of no maiter to the seller, for he is no public censor; so long in proportion as the article is consumed. will it be sold as long as it can be sold will it he manufactered. and nom r.aw can prevent it. It is impolitic. wc think, to hold forth such a pledge as the aobve, for it is calculated to throw temperance farther lie. hind than ever, for no waan would bind himself to such condition, which no necessity calls for ; and he holds hii suln'rage of too umuch value tom make it subservienmt to any other than himself." We have been inng convinced, that the mode adopted by the editor of thme Temperanmce Ad. vocate, of holding up to public view and ridi cule, those persons who had made it their business to deal in spiritous liquors, and that fo'r tie purpose of making a living for themselves and families.aa incorrect,and not in accordance with the principles, which have, or at least ought to be held out, by a newspaper, establish d for the avowed purpose of bettering the con. dition of'that portion of the community whmo had unfortunatelt became addicted to the vice of Drunkenness, as the mean. used in such eases, should be of the mildest and most per essive character, and not such as to cr eate a hatred to the cause of Temperance, in the ho gems of either the dealer or the consumer. For our own part, we feel assured that ti~e cause of Temperance has suffered in our dis trict by a simtilar pledge or resolution having been offered before the old Temperance Sac, ty, but we are proud in being able to say that themr wasanot enoughbfawetics in that body to .adopt it Our hopes are, that all Teetotal Abstinence w Societies, will denounce any man or sett of t men, who shall so far forget the respect due to the Temperance body to wtich he or they may b belong, as to initroduce at any of their meetings, any Prealbles or it..solutions. which will in e any manner have for thecir object the interfer. ence with Religious or Political matters. e fr For the Adrertiser. r Mr. EnrTon.-In an account of the arrest of 11 Wiley Freeman. published in tile N 0. Picay i une, and copied it, tile Charleston Courier and i other papers throughout the Union, I see that Freeman atempts to excuse himselforle mur der of his wife, by saying it was all my fault. That I may do justice to myself, and to her s name. which this man now ittempts to soil, af ter cruelly murdering her. I deem it n-cessary to give the loblic a short statene ut of the rela tion in which I stood and acted towards both Freeman and his wife, and let thee public draw their own couclusions. Mrs. Freeman being a first cousin of mine. and living most unhappily with her husband. from the period of three months after their mar. riane. at which time Ie took offenc-e at some tri-. fling mter, and beat her most cruelly. I felt it miy duty. under the circutrrtances. to do any thing its nay power to render hter condition bet ter. Accordingly. I consenterd. it his instance, for hin to transfer to me a sum of money to be vested inl property for the use and benefit of his wife and children. After this, I consented ti be t named lay the Court of Equnity. astiustee of cer tain other property. previoa-ly settled lay him upon his wiife and cl.ildreu. I acted. ie accur. dance witll Iew tru-ts afor a nurmber of years. without his ever expresmueg or mnansaifesting the least disatis actiont on the cunlr.mry professing the utmost confidence. and greatest friendslaip toward, me until a few monthrm previous to his murder;ng ofhis w ilte, whcn ile threater:ed may life. because I dared to sue him on several notes of long standing. And that he might injure me. he expiesscd lhi determinatin orlenvicig a tract of laud of mine, upon which he had beena living for three )ear,, and of going to Georgia. His e wife, unwilling to trust iwo- self and children. to a husband who had become a beastly sat. and e whose daily earnings scarcely suficed to supply e hais growing desire for drink. refused to go. be. n yond the reach of help. For this lie left her. and never did Ie attribute to her any want of chastitv, unil he wasconfned in jail. for lie de Sied ever entertacilug any such sn-larion after lie was arrested the first time. And, bee.. -e I a dared to execute the trust he had confided in f me many years previono.; and bera-e I daredi t to render to one, that assistane.. which she ong t f to have received from hin; and lb-cause I pie f samed to give her that assistance, which pre - vented him from murdLring her by slow de r grees, he attributes to we " all" the - tiaul!
