The steamship Britannia arrived at Bos ton on Saturday morning, and was re ceived in Philadelphia by express, from whence it was communicated to the Balti more Sun by Magnetic Telegraph, some wenty-four hour in advance of the mail. The mjws is of considerable importance, and very interesting, particularly so far as relates to the reception of the news of the victories of Gen Taylor on the Rio Gran de. The corn bill has triumphed in the corn- mittee of the whole in the House of Lords by a majority of thirty-three. Consequen- tly all fear as to the final passage are at an end, and a rich market for our superabun- dant crops of breadstuff, may now be con- fidently anticipated. There has been a decline of one eigh't peuw? in me V.OUOH maruei, mougn me demand continued steady. Sir Robert Peel's retirement is more confidently spoken of than by former arri- vals there is, however, nothing positive known yet with regard to his intentions in this respect. It is based on the supposi-j tion, that on the completion of his great I measures he will retire from active life. The war between the United States and Mexico engrosses public attention. The victories of the Americans on the Rio Grande has chanced public feeling both in England and France from sympathy for the Mexicans to contempt. This change of opinion, however, is as unjust to the Mexi. cans as the former feeling was to the A- mencans. The Mxicans deserve much credit for their gallant stand, and it was Taylor and his brave little army that over- uirew mem. wir.u.zois organ is sun pointing out il,. : J I : .

In the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of Marine.in reference to the war between the United Stares and Mexico, was asked ii ne intended to tolerate the extreme abuse which the Mexicans appeared deposed to make of their letters of marque' The Minister replied that the principle which guided the ministry in reference to the corsairs was that for a ship to have the right to sail under the French flg, the cap:a:n, the officers, and tno thirds of her crew must be French. Nevertheless, in certain circumstances was (sufficient if three fifths the crew were French. It was on such condition that letters of marque were delivered in time of war to vessels sailing under the French flag. The circumstances which constituted piracy were determined by the laws of 1825, wich are, that a ves sel must be found in the precise condition defined by that law to Le reputed pira'es But in case French vessels of war were or." dered to cruise in places in which French commerce needed protection, aiid if the captains of those vessels of war were to meet a ship which sailed under a foreign flag, and should, have a captain, officers, and majority of the crew not belonging to that nation theie would be just motive of suspicion, and the captains ot such vessels of war ought to protect the interests of their country. It was only for French tribunals in tne ports of France to decide tho varna ble situation of the ship referred to. A Deputy then insisted that the princi ples on which France acted were good, and that Mexico should be obliged to act upon them also. He then read an extract from a despatch of a French Admiral to the' Mex ican Government in 1829, in which he laid down that every vessel bearing a letter of marque of which the Captain , and two thirds of the crew should not be Mexicans would be considered a pirate,' and "treated as such, with all the severity of the la ws of war.' : ' ' '"' " PARIS, juue.l5. The Journal des Debats lately published a remarkable article on the state of affairs between Mexico and the United States. Our cotemporary, says an English paper, asserts that Mr. Polk has only gone against Mexico to compensate for his defeat in 'Ore. gon, and to regain popularity. It thinks Mexico is totally unable to resist the LVi- ted Slates, and that existing hostilities will result in its dismembermen'. It thinks that the States will endeaver to seize the Cati- tornias to make up for their being obliged to loose Oregon, and that the Californias are infinitely more valuable. h views all this with rezret. but bevond a felv sneers at Mr. Polk, for whom itan- pears to have cherished the most nro'found t contempt, it says nothing offensive to the United States. It Domts out ih."t,Pii- I I I'vvsaii VI of France and England interfering in the matter, in order to bring about a reconcilia- tion, and to protect Mexico. It alledes that France had interests at stake in Mexi- co which call prorntly for such interference. Le Comptejthe attempted assassin of the Kinfr of the French has been brouohi rf trial,condeinned and executed as a paricide; that is to go bare foot to the scaffold, wear- ing a shirt outside his dress, and to have his head covered with a black veil, to re- main standine on the scaffold whilst the sentence was read to the people, and to be then beheaded. On the trial he stated that he had no accomplices, and was not the tool of anv noliiral faction. - Germanv ' , The German miners announce that tin v c o a a t ' a u rr r n - . . ...

Mis holiness Pope Gregory the 16ih- departed this life on the 1st. . He had been indisposed during the last week of Miy , bnt on the 28th or 20 of that month he was believed by his physicians perfectly recovered. His death was sudden, and may possibly give rise to similar rumors as followed the decease of several of his pre. decessors. fie was in ihe eighty first year i nis age, having been born in the year 1765. In ordinary times the decease of a Pope would not occasion any sensation in he political world, bui such is not the case n the: present instance. Pope Gregory thu 86;" was a good, kind benovelent mani sincere in his religious principles., and more olerant than most others who had held the keys of St. Peter. The member of the Sacred College most Vke lofiUCC;ed Pope Gregory is the Car dinar branzoni, President of the Coni?reffa tion of the Proppagaudirclle is, however considered friendly to the Jesuits, and will be of course fiercely opposed by France. Cardinal Franzoni was born at Genoa, on the 10th of December, 1775, and is of course in the 71st year of his age. Cardi nal Acton ,ni8hl not improbably be selected a,ld wou,d in that case be only the second Englishman that has ever held the papal dignity. Great agitation continues to pre vai! ,n different parts of the country, espe cially iu the 1 apal btaie, and it is to b feared thai outbreaks will take place. When may a Person be called Drunk? "Well, Doctor, pray iveus a definition of what you consider being bu,t hat we may know in future, when acannic Scot mav, w lin propriety, be termed drunk.

But with your leave. . ge,,t,emen 1 " tell you a story about the Laird Bonnie moon, that will be a good il ustration of what 1 cill being fou. The Laird of Bonniemoon was gae fond of his bottle in short just a poor drunken body, as 1 said afore. On one occasion he was asked to dine with Lord B neighbor of his lordship being well acquain- led with the Laird's dislike to small drinks, ordered a bottle of cherry brandy to be set . P r. j , V oiore mm ucr umocr, msieaa oi port, which he always drank in preference to c&rett wheo nolhing better was to be got I j l - .i . ins Liiiiro, ue iiiuuni mis nne neartsnm I 0 8uff and on he weQ fin h , fc . , f tne more ne. arana.me more he praised l . a i hxs Lorasnip s port, v It was a fine, full bodied wine, and lay well on the etomach, I not like that poisrnous stuff claret, that makes a body feel as if he had swallowed a nest of puddocks." Well, gentlemen, the Laird had finished one bottle of cherry brandy, or as hi Lordship called it, his paiticular port," and had just tossed off a glass of the second bottle, which he decla red to be even better thanjhe first, when his old confidential servant, Watty, came stalking into the room.and making his best bow, announced that the Laird's horse waa' at the door. ' Get oui of that ve fause loon, ciied the Laird, pulling off his wig, and flinging it at Watty's head. Don't yts sec, ye blethering brute, that I'm just begiiininor my second bottle V "But Maister'says, Watty, scratching his head, 'amaist twall o'clock.' 4 Weel what though it be V said the Laird, turning up his glass with drunken gravity, while the rest of the company were like to split their sides with laughing at him und Watty "It canna be ony later my man, so just reach me my wig and let the naig bide a wee." Well gentlemen, it was a cold fros ty night, and Watty soon tired ol kicking his heels at the door ; so in a little while back he comej, and says he,Maister, Mais- ter, it's amaist ane o'clock! LWeel, Watty, says the Laird, with a hiccup for he was far gone by this time it will be ony earli er, Watty, my man, and that's a com fort, so ye may rest yoursel a wee while longer ulLl finish my bottle. A lull belly makes a stiff back, you know, Watty.'' Watty was by this time dancing mad ; so after waiting anther half hour," back he comes, in an awful hurry, and says he, " Laird, Laird, as true as death, the sun's rising." Weel Watty says the Laird,look mg wiul wise, and trying with both hands to fill his glad, let him rise my man, let him rise, he has further to gang the day than aither you or me, Watty. This answer fairly - dumfounded poor " ' WaUy, and he gave itup in despair. Bat' at last 'the; bftftiayM-rfinwh was lifted intot in high glee, thinking all the time' tae 'nioonv: was the sun, and that he had fine daylight - c T for his journey. ' 'Heck. Watty, my man; taid the Laird, patting : his stomach, and speaking awful thick, we were nane the worse for that second bottlo this frosty mor ning. Faith, said Watty, blowing his fm gers and looking as blue as a bilberry, your honor may be nane the worse for it, but I am nane the better ? I wish 1 was. Well, on they rode fou cannily, the Laird grip ping hard at the horse's mane, and rolling about like a sack of meal ; for the cold air was beginniug to make the spirits tell on At lAit they came to a bit ot a brook -1 mat crossed the road; and the Lnird's horse being pretty well used to have hi3 own way, stopped short and put down his head to take a drink. This had the effect to make the . poor Laird lose his balance, and away he went over the hore's ears, in to the very middle of the brook. The Laird, honest man, had just sense enough to hear the splash.and to know that something was wrong, but he was that drunk that he did not the least suspect that it was himself. 'Watty, said he, sitting up in the middle of the stream, and stammering nut tl. words wi.h great dsfficulty.Wnty mv man, some body's fallen in the stream, Watty." raitn, you may say that replied Walty,like to roll oti his horse.with laughing,for its just yourself Laird. 'Horn fie,Watty? cried the Laird with a hiccup between every word ; it surely canna be me, Watty, for Tm hereV Now gentleman, continued tho Doctor. here is the case in which 1 would allow a man to be drunk, although he had neither lost his speech nor the use of his limbs. Trashing the Fko. Don't blush no we merely stepped ia a moment we love to see ladies on their knees, scrubbing the floor. No apologies we detest them.
