Paicc, Secretary. . LATEST INTELLIGENCE. .On Wednesday evening last we received the news of the arrival at Ft. Victoria, of the Pandora, a sur veying ship belonging to the British government. She oomes direct from the Islands but brings us no intelli gence of moment. The n. B. Co's ship Mary Dare was to have left Honolulu for the Columbia river on the 15th of last month. Her day of sailing had probably been deferred, or she would have been here before this. By this arrival we have received the " Daily A mer ican Star" of Slay 5th, a paper published at the City of Mexico, and a slip from the ' London Times," relating the escape of Louis Philippe and family, for which we have to thank A. McKinlay, Esq. The "Star" contains nothinz much of interest beside the speech of M. Lamarline, one of the members of the new govern ment of France, delivered on the occasion of the as sembling of 150,000 of the people of Paris to demand a postponement of the elections, from which we make the subjoined extracts: You feci, as well as ourselves, (we, in whom the people have placed their confidence, and who personi fy the day of combat and of victory,) that it is not pos sible lo have a Government, except you bestow your confidence upon it and endow it with moral authority. What is the moral authority of this Government and it is not il alone, hut the people, the republic, the de partments, Europe, lbatVj regard what is it,.J)iil ils complete independence of all extraneous pressure? Let il be well known, that in this consists the indepen dence of the Government in this ils dignity iu this its only moral force. Around us what do we see? A small group of men without arms without material support without sol diers without Guards who have no other authority than that vvhicli they derive from the support and res peel of the people llvy do nol wish any other, and en veloping themselves entirely in the support of the peo ple from which they were drawn, they have assumed in the Republic a position so energetic and so perilous, in order to guarantee the popular interests, until now sacrificed lo Ibe monarchies, to the aristocracies, and to the oligarchies which we have subverted. But in order lhal this sentiment may have ils true efTecl in order that these popular principles may have an application conformable to (he happiness and to the right of the people what musl be done? The peace aide continuation of that confidence you have reposed iu us. What can we oppose lo you? Bui a single thing your own reason: that power of reason which exists here between you and us. II is this m ral force, which, though invisible, is all-powerful, that renders us calm and independent, in the face of that multitude which surrounds this palace of the people, defended alone by their inviolability. We will defend, even lo Ine death, this last barrier or our independence; if the pressure of the multitude would break through it, It is nol for ourselves, it L for you, that we would perish in its defencel What would a people be without a Government? without strength? On account of my respect for our independence, I uish in nothing lo pre-decide upon a decree which would declare lo the nation that Paris affects the mono poly of liberty and the Republic, and that in the name of a single capital, and under the pressure of a multi tude well-intentioned, but imperative, we take into our hands the direction of liberty, conquered, not for some citizens only, but for the whole of France and the world. If you command me to deliberate under force, and lo exclude the nation from any participation, I will say to you what I said to another Government a few days ago, that you shall not extort this from me, until after the ball shall iiave pierced my body. (Ap plause.) No : let us be a thousand times robbed of our title, before we will consent to give up our free opin ions, our dignity, and our inviolability. For in order that a government should be respected, it must have not only the fact but the appearance of liberty. NEWS FROM THE DALLES. By the arrival of the Bishop of Wallawalla last eve ning, from the Dalles, we received the following let ter : FonT Lee, Aug. 22dKi848. Mb. Editor VVould you be good enough to give f)ubhcity to a trifling matter vvhich has occurred here ately. A boat has arrived here consigned to Ibe French Catholic Priests, loaded yvilh ammunition. 'A here are. we learn from the boatmen, near 1000 pounds of gun powder, 3000 of lead, and three boxes of guns, which will take them two more trips to convey from the Cas cades to this place. "What Missionaries can require with so much ammunition is above our comprehen sion to discover. Surely it is not for the purpose of trade they certainly are aware of the prohibition of the sale to Indians. Considering that so much ammunition was unsafe in the Priests' hands if it came to the knowledge ol the Indians, it was taken charge of and deposited in the Fort until orders can be. obtained as to its disposal. We remain, Mr. Editor, Your obed't servH, THE GARRISON. P. S.-No news of importance from above. At Fort "VVRv?rs all is quiet. By the arrival of a Catholic. Priest from Colville, we learn that the Nez Perces and Cavuses are mustering their Forces at the mouth of Salmon river-for what purpose we can't say. MARRIED On the 20th inst., by J. M.
