Satui'Qag) to imottftai/g Posts. LONDON, AUG. 26. RPHE Paris journals to Thursday's date have been 1 received but their contents are without interest. —Several of the Paris papers comment with some bitterness on the brief remarks made by Sir R. Peel in the House of Commons, relative to the reception which Espartero would receive in England. The (Jonstitu- tionnel, with bad taste, infers that the Brrish Govern- ment intends to use the Regent as a tool against France and in order to preserve a good understanding between that country and England, advises him to resign his office at once. There could not be a more unjust or unfounded suspicion; but it is needless to reason on these absurd national jealousies, exhibited by the editors of Paris papers, because there would be no end of the task. Every step taken by the British Go- vernment, and almost every word said by the Prime Minister, that has reference, even by the most distant allusion, to France, is considered a proof of hostility. "If Sir Robert Peel," says that journal, "did not give a categorical reply to the interrogation respecting Espar- tero, it is not because his mind, so intelligent and so practical, has for an instant hesitated it is because it is of importance to the English policy to allow doubt to re- main as a menace."—The Siecle is still more disturbed at the few kind words expressed towards Esparlero, and looks for nothing short of a second isotation" for France, and the alliance of England with the abso- lute Powers of Europe. We have intelligence from Madrid to the 17th, and from Barcelona to the 20th inst. Everywhere disunion and confusion prevail. Even the French Government paper, as far as regards Barcelona, admits the fact. In that citv, the Journal des Debats says, on the 20th, insurrection and terror prevailed. The better classes were taking flight. The number of emigrants was al- ready considerable. The shops were closed, although the great majority of the people and of the militia were strangers to the movement, which was evidently kept up bv the Junta with the view of continuing its government. The violence of the factious gave them an advantage over the more moderate and reasonable. The Generals hesitated to employ the troops of the line against the adherents of the Junta. The Junta had just sent Depu- ties to Madrid to state its pretended complaints. Prim had lost his popularity by repressing his compatriots, the Barcelonese. At Madrid affairs were not in a much better condition. Great excitement prevailed among the electors, and at a meeting held on the 17th, great hostility was evinced by the contending factions. We believe Spain at no former period was in such an un- settled state. The bonds of society are broken, and nothing but terror of the military prevent the people from rising against their new masters. The New York packet Independence, arrived at Liverpool, has brought papers to the 6th instant, six days later than those received by the Europe It ap- pears by the Bangor Democrat, that some difficulty on the subject of the Maine Boulldary had arisen amongst the Commissioners.—The Philadelphia papers contain accounts of a fearful hurricane which bad passed over that city and the surrounding country. Many parts of the city and the surrounding country were deluged. Several bridges, houses, trees, fences, and haystacks were swept away, and some lives were lost.—The in- telligence from Canada is but scanty. A Mr. Thomas Kinnear, a Scotch gentleman, of good family and for- tune, had been found murdered in his own house, about 16 miles from Toronto. Two of his servants who had fled, were suspected, and subsequently captured near the Falls, and lodged in gaol. They had much pro- perty belonging to the deceased with them.
