Tearn.—Further intelligence has been received from Papiti ; supplying defects in the former accounts, giving the French version of affairs, and adding a sequel of later date. The French story is given in wletter dated the 2eth blarahrpublished in the Emancipation de nu louse : the following summary of it is greatly abridged, but preserves its tone.

After the first month of occupation, the French found their supply of fresh provisions gradually withdrawn; and they discovered that the owners of cattle had combined to produce a scarcity. To baffle that combination, the Governor issued a decree, on the llth January, enjoining all owners of cattle to make him a return of their stock, under pain of forfeiture. This was obeyed round about Papiti; but in the distant bays, the preaching of the missionaries excited the people, and the decree was trodden under foot. The Governor summoned the chiefs to return to their duty ; and an armed detachment arrested four, who were conveyed as prisoners on board the corvette Ambuscade. " The police arrested at the same time the bearer of a letter which compromised Queen Pornare and Mr. Pritchard the British Consul, her intimate adviser ; the whole plot connected with the cattle was detailed in it ; the people were encouraged to resistance, but to act with prudence." The Queen went on board the Basilisk ketch, and placed herself under British protection. On the 1st February, the Governor sent a message to the English commander, to say that the landing of the Queen would be regarded as an act of hostility. An English steamer arrived at Papiti on the 18th ; absurd rumours were circulated ; and several English were arrested for spreading false reports of the speedy arrival of an English fleet. Meanwhile, the people of Tairabou Bay (about forty miles distant from Papiti) revolted; and told the messenger sent by the Governor to demand their submission, that they only recognized the authority of the Queen. They made this declaration in the presence of the English missionary ; and the respect which they showed to him proved that he had been the instigator of it. The French were ordered not to reappear in the bay. The Governor now built two block-houses at Papiti. On the 20th, the Phaeton French steamer was sent to Tairabou to enforce the submission of the chiefs; but it returned, not having a sufficient force. The corvette was sent, with sharpshooters and artillery ; and the Governor, M. Bruat, went in person. It arrived on the 28th; when it was found that the Natives had fled into the mountains. Two block-houses were built at the bay, to prevent their return without making submission; and the Governor returned to Papiti. During the night of the 2d of March, a French sentinel [at Papiti] having been attacked and disarmed by the Natives, the guard turned out in pursuit of the assailants, and succeeded in capturing one of them. On being interrogated, he made "disclosures which compromised Mr. Pritchard." The latter was, accordingly, instantly arrested, and confined in a block-house.

Subsequently, deputations from the islands of Mores and Eimeo, and the two bays of Tahiti, made their submission. Morea is a large island, and contains the Queen's private property. Hearing of the submission, she made overtures fur a conditional surrender; which M. Bruat rejected. At two o'clock on the 21st March, the intrenched camp at the bay of Tairabou was attacked. "St. Mariani, a captain of the staff commanding the bay, sent two patrols, one of voltigeurs and another of seamen, to reconnoitre the ravines extending to the bay. The marines, guided by an Indian, fell into an ambuscade; and received a volley of musketry, to which they made but an indifferent return, because the weather was wet and their guns had been loaded for some days. The marines then retreated quickly under the fire of the enemy ; who killed one man and wounded another." Another attack was made at five o'clock ; and a fire vies opened by the insurgents, but silenced by the French artillery. The French lost two killed, one prisoner, and seven wounded; the natives lost (it is supposed) fifty in killed and wounded. On hearing of this, M. Bruat repaired again to the scene of action, in the steamer. " As the Phaeton passed along the coast on her return, throwing shells on all the houses within her reach, there were perceived with astonishment two intrenchments sufficiently capacious to shelter two hundred combatants, whose beads appeared above the parapet. The more this fortification was examined the more regular it appeared. In the midst was seen the flag of Queen Pomare. Some Europeans who appeared to command them came to the shore to challenge a lauding. Prudence commanded that nothing should be done. We were satisfied with sending them some broadsides; which appeared not to frighten them, as they did not stir. The number of English and American adventurers among the insurgents is estimated at two hundred : they themselves are 1,200, and are well armed. They have ammunition in abundance, and four pieces of cannon."

The Queen remained on board the British ship the Basilisk. She had no longer any idea of submitting, since she found that 1,500 combatants marched under her flag.

Thus far the French account. The Favourite, a South Sea whaler, brings another tale, by some English writer

" A number of the Natives, who now live in encampments up the mountains since they have been expelled the town, were seated taking a quiet meal, when some Frenchmen came upon one party, consisting of two chiefs and their wives, and seized hold of the women ; whom they attempted to drag on board their boat, then lying moored on the beach a short distance off. The chiefs resisted this aggression, and were immediately shot. A third chief then rose up and exclaimed, ' What ! are we dogs, that we are treated thus ? We are a quiet people, and wish for peace; but you will not let us have it.' Whereupon the French fired at him ; but missing their aim, he gave the signal to the Natives for an onset. At the first charge, fifteen Frenchmen were either killed or wounded ; and a second attack almost immediately taking place, between thirty and forty more of their number were killed or disabled by the Tahitians. Soon after this transaction had taken place, it was reported that many of the French had deserted, saying they had only been brought out to be shot at. The men generally do not seem at all contented ; for they appear half-starved, and are badly clothed. The regulation that no one is to be allowed out after eight o'clock at night is strictly enforced against the Natives a id foreigners; but the French themselves seem to pay little or no attention to this order."

As the Favourite was getting under weigh, the corvette was seen returning from Tairabou.

Moaocco.—The successive reports from Morocco contradict each other as to the actual beginning of hostilities. Frequent diplomatic communications have passed between the Emperor Abd-er-Rahman and the French authorities on his frontiers. He admitted the aggression on the Algerian territory, and promised to punish the authors of it, the Raid of Ouchda, a leader, being in prison ; but evaded all allusion to the demands not to support Abd-el-Kader in his resistance to the French. In the case of his not giving a satisfactory reply, the French threatened to begin by bombarding Tangiers. On the 23d July, the Prince De Joinville arrived at Tangiers, in the Pluton steamer; and received on board M. Ninon, the Consul-General, with his family ; sending the steamer Veloce to Mogadore on a similar errand. According to a letter from Mr. Cowell, Lloyd's Agent, it was reported at Gibraltar, on the 1st instant, that Mr. Drummond Hay, the English Chargé d'Affaires, had written despatches on the 26th July, in which he said that he had offered his mediation, and was actively engaged in negotiations with the Emperor.

" Nothing," says Mr. Cowell, "can be more critical than the actual position of affairs. The British Admiral, in the Formidable, remains in our bay, with the Caledonia three-decker; whilst at Tangiers are the Warspite and Albion, under Commodore Lockyer. On the part of the Spaniards, their brigade is ready at Tarifa and Algesiras; and 1,000 cavalry are daily expected in oar

immediate neighbourhood from Madrid, to join the African expedition. Their movements will, however, wholly depend on the French, without whom it is supposed they will not act."

FRANCE.—Morocco and Tahiti fill the Paris papers ; which exhibit ebullitions of Anti-English feeling on all sides. Among the bills adopted by the Chamber of Peers on Friday, was one authorizing the Minister of Marine to open a credit of 8,087,800 francs to defray the expenses of the extraordinary armaments in 1844. M. Charles Dupin, the reporter on the bill, recommended it in a violently hostile speech. He said, for instance " I am not one of those who regard war with extraordinary uneasiness. France is too well accustomed to war to feel alarmed at such a contingency or its consequences. I am no partisan of war : I defended peace in 1840; but in preaching concord, I frankly declared, that if we had no other alternative than war, we would engage in it with ardour—nay, with transport." He declared that the French officers in Tahiti "had acted properly, as behoves brave and rational men " ; and that Mr. Pritchard was a conspirator, who had violated the law of nations. He finished thus " By voting the bill now before the House, you will place the Naval Department in a condition to provide as speedily as possible against all contingencies: 1 except none. It is a law of good administration ; it is in every respect satisfactory ; you may vote it with an entire confidence." It was voted by 91 to 4. Next day, another discussion was raised by the Count de Montalembert, the Prince de Mosque, and M. Boissy ; who endeavoured to extort from M. Guizot an explanation of the course he intended to pursue. To this appeal M. Guizot replied, that a question of facts and of international law had arisen between the two Governments; that time was necessary to explain the one and determine the other ; and that until these points were settled, he should maintain the _greatest reserve on the subject. Count Mole, speaking with much moderation of manner, urged M. Guizot to say a few words at the close of the session, "calculated to diminish the emotion and uneasiness which he himself must feel were legitimate." M. Guizot replied, that he was persuaded that if he said there "what he proposed to say elsewhere," he should increase the irritation he desired to appease. Count Mole expressed himself content.

At the Italian Opera on Friday night, a line in Charles VI., " Jamais en France l'Anglais ne regnera," is answered by the chorus " Non "; a reply which was rapturously applauded. A similar demonstration took place at a musical festival on Friday, and was encored.

SFAIN.—Advices from Madrid, to the 29th July, relate the sequel of the pretended conspiracy : forty persons had been thrown into prison, all supposed to be Progresistas ; and although Madrid was not for the time under martial law, they were to be handed over for trial to military tribunals.

The Madrid journals mention the arrival of Mr. Peel, the son of Sir Robert Peel, on the 24th.

HATTI is more distracted than ever. Papers to the 7th July announce a new division. San Domingo, the Spanish part of the island, had some time ago declared itself independent of the Haytian Republic : towards the end of June, the Junta proposed to put the Southern territory under the "protection" of France; and entered into a treaty with the French Consul, who agreed to furnish armed assistance, and 3,000,000 piastres ; France taking the peninsula of Samana in pledge for the repayment ; and the Styx French war-steamer entered the Ozama river. This created a popular tumult, headed by Colonel Joaquim Puello, a Black. The -junta divided itself into a French and a National party ; and both sides remained in a hostile posture ; the French having received their partisans in the Junta On board, and threatening to bombard the town. While these events were in progress, intelligence was received that the department of Cibao had detached itself from San Domingo, and erected itself into a separate state, to be called the " Republic of Cibao." Thus stood matters on the 27th June.

UNITED STATES.—The Great Western steam-ship brings intelligence from New York to the 20th July. It adds scarcely anything to that already received. Mr. Tyler had sent a quantity of " secret" documents about Texas to the Senate,—a message of his own, advocating annexation, and showing that General Jackson and President Houston approved of it ; with a threat in a private letter from Texas, that in case of failure that republic would conclude a Free-trade treaty with England; and a Mexican circular against the project. The publication of these papers was intended to favour Mr. Tyler's design on a renewal of his Presidency.

Philadelphia was tranquil ; but the correspondent of the Morning Chronicle notices an inopportune importation—a Papal bull fulminated against certain Protestant Societies of the Union.
