TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (1111=11'11 SIMLA AMERICA. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Asia, from Boston and Halifax, arrived at Queenstown at 12 noon yesterday, with 107 passengers, 2,500 dole. and 3601. sterling in specie. She landed four pas sengers and 126 sacks of mails, and proceeded at 12.15 p.m. for Liverpool. All well. (Per the Asia, vie Rashes Point.) NEW YOBX, JAR. 30, EVENING. It is reported that several Chilien privateers are cruising round the Island of Cuba. The correspondence between Generals Weitzel and Mejia, regarding the capture of Bagdad, has been published. The former states that he sent 300 men to Bagdad at the request of Eacobedo.as an act of humanity, and not to perform any service for either party. General Koji* replies briefly that he has notified his government of all that occurred at Bagdad. The French naval commander before leaving for Vera Cruz protested against the invasion of Mexico by American soldiers. General Sheridan has refused to permit emigrants to leave New Orleans for Mexico. He acts under orders from Washington. President Johnson has communicated to the Senate Mr. Stanton's opinion, endorsed by himself, that it is inconsistent with the public interests to furnish Congress with the letters of General Sheri dan and other Federal officers regarding the present condition of affairs on the Southern frontier, espe cially in relation to any violation of neutrality by the army occupying the right bank of the Rio Grande. - The house has recommitted the constitutional amendment relative to the representation, with all the pending propositions, to the Reconstruction Committee without instructions. The house has refused to grant the privilege of the floor to members from Arkansas. That privi lege has been granted to the members for Ten nessee. Mr. Seward has returned to Washington. The people of St. Thomas and Cuba had received him with marked courtesy and respect. At St. Thomas he bad an interview with Santa Anna, whom, ao cording to reports, he informed that the United States would never permit the permanent establish ment of the empire in Mexico. The correspondent of the New York World states that Mr. Seward bad an interview, at Savannah, with the aide de-camp of Maximilian. The revenue commission have submitted to Con gress a report proposing a tax of b cents per pound on cotton, and the reduction of the tax on distilled spirits to one dollar per gallon. A report relating to the reciprocity treaty, pre pared at the request of the Secretary of the Trea sury, has been laid on the desks of the members of Congress. It includes a bill proposing to continue the present treaty for one year from March next, provided that Canada repeals the duties and taxes on certain enumerated articles, raises the internal tax on certain other articles, and discontinues her free porta on Lakes Huron and Superior. To these 'provisions are added some other advantages to be secured to the United States. NEW YORK, FEB. 1, Evianych The House of Representatives have adopted, by 120 to 46 votes, the resolution reported from the Reconstruction Committee for a constitutional amendment, apportioning the representation ac cording to the number of the population, exclusive of those to whom the suffrage is denied on account of colour. The provision for the apportionment of direct taxes was struck out. Dating the debate Mr. Stevens animadverted strongly on the President having made known his views on the constitutional amendment, through the press, at a moment when the house was legis lating upon the subject The New York Tribune states that M. de Mon tholon has oomnsunicated to Mr. Seward the answer of the French government to Mr. Seward's note concerning the recognition of the Mexican empire. The New York Herald says that at a banquet given by the Captain-General of Savannah, Mr. Seward made a speech, stating that in his opinion Spain was the only European power which had any right to a footing in America, since Spain had always been eminently American. The same jour nal adds that Mr. Seward, whilst in Savannah, had refused to receive Baron Magnus, the Prussian minister to Maximilian, who was en route for Mexico. The committee of ways and means have reported the bill authorising the Secretary of the Treasury to sell bonds at home or abroad for funding the currency, but not authorising any increase of the public debt. The interest on bonds sold abroad must not exceed five per cent., and the interest and principal must be paid in the coin or currency of the country where they are made payable. Toronto despatches report renewed alarm along the frontier on account of Fenianism, and state that the military bad been much strengthened, owing to the information received that General Sweeney had forces ready for raids on the principal towns. The Africa has arrived at Halifax, and the New York at New York. 001ULENCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Jas. 30, EVINING. Money easy. Gold, 1401. Exchange on Lon. don, 152 ; ditto on Paris, 3.711.

Viscount Sydney arrived here at six last night, to invest King Leopold IL with the Order of the Garter. He is accompanied by Lord George Fagot, the Hon. Oliver Montagu, Mr. Clarke Jervoise, and Sir Charles Young. It is asserted that Viscount Sydney will after wards proceed to Paris on a similar mission to Earl Cowley. To-day at two o'clock the King received in solemn audience at the Royal Palace all the members of the mission deputed by Queen Victoria to invest his Majesty witlithe Order of the Garter. fRANCIE,, PARIS, FEB. 11. Yesterday, in the Senate, M. Bonher protested against the speech delivered by M. de Rainy in Friday's sitting. Marshal Forey stated that the return of the French troops from Mexico could not take place so speedily as appeared to be desired in France, and he even advised that fresh reinforee ments should be sent out. M. Rouher declared that Marshal Forey had expressed in his speech merely a private opinion, the views of the govern ment upon this subject being those contained in the speech from the throne and the draft of the address. The first eight paragraphs of the address were then adopted. The Prase has received a second warning, on account of an article, signed by M. Duvernois, which appeared in that paper on Friday last. The Prase of this evening announces that it intends to appeal to the Council of State against the two warnings which it has recently received. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, FRB. 11. Some Vienna papers give currency to a report that a number of papers have latterly been seized which prove the existence of a treasonable plot against the life of the Emperor. It is, however, officially stated that this report is without any foundation. CROATIA AND HUNGARY. AGRAN, F. 10. The Croatian Diet has agreed to the union with Hungary by 99 against 94 votes. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Fie. 10. To-day, in the Chamber of Deputies, the debate was resumed on the motion protesting against the decision of the Supreme Court restricting liberty of speech in the chamber. During the debate, Count von Bismarck and the Ministers of the Interior and Justice censured the deputies in strong terms, and stated that they opposed the independence of the courts of justice, in order that they might be free to give vent to expressions of insult and calumny. The house subsequently adopted the motion of Herr von Hoverbeck, protesting against the de cision of the Supreme Court, by 263 to 35 votes. THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. FLORENCE, Fu. 10. The session of the chambers has been prorogued until Thursday next. The committee upon the provisional exercise of the budget have accepted the proposal of the ministry, extending its dura tion until the end of April next. Rcssie. ST. PETERSBURG, Fn. 11. The budget for 1866 has just appeared. The principal items are as follows :—Ordinary revenue, 349,000,000r5. ; extraordinary revenue, including the surplus of the last loan, 32,500,000r5. ; issue of Treasury Bouds, 9,060,000r5. ; ordinary expen diture, 367,000,000r5. ; extraordinary expenditure, 25,000,000r5. pJ.LFSTINE EXPLORATION FUND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE raIIIEBB. Sra,—l have received a further report from Captain Wilson in charge of the first exploring party of this association, dated Banias (Cresarea Philippi), Jan. 2. The party left Damascus on the 28th December and travelling by S'as's and Jeba reached Banias on the 31st. They had very bad weather with sleet and snow every day. The country between Jeba and Kuneitemh was half under water. Topography. The positions of Damascus, Kankab, Jeba (not marked on the map), Banner, and the junction of the Hasbany and Banias rivers have been fixed astronomically and the calculations made both for latitude and longitude. A reconnaissance sketch of the route from Damascus to Bowies has been made showing great discrepancies in the best maps. A reconnaissance sketch was in progress of the district round Banias to show the junction of the three streams of the Jordan and the course of the Wadys near the town. The snow is however so thick and so low down as to prevent much being done in the wadys themselves. Archaeology. Plans have been made of the great Mosque at Damascus, of Bab Shurky (the Roman eastern gate) and of the mound at Tel Salhiyeh. Excavations had been made in three places in the mound, but with no decisive result—ex cept the discovery of one sculptured slab of a quasi-Assyrian character. The mound was originally formed of a compact mass of sun-dried bricks, with terraces. It is now much ruined, and the masonry has probably been used in the buildings at foot of the mound. Mr. Consul Rogers has undertaken to transport the slab to Beyrout, and the further exploration of the Tell will probably be carried out by him. Photographs have been taken as follows :—Of the Mmque at Damascus (8) which with those taken by Mr. Bedford at the Prince of Wales' visit will afford a very good illustration of this remark able edifice : of Bab Shurky : of the city wall op- posite Tomb of St. George : of arch and pediment ru Book Bazaar : of house in the city : of Banias from Wely Khudr : of niches and grotto : of the fountain head : of the castle from various points' ( 5 ). The geology of the country passed through had been carefully observed and noted. It was intended ' to leave /Isaias on the aith January for Deir Mimes, at the bend of the Litany, and thence to follow the ridge to Kedes : proceeding from }leder, by Kefr Binm, Meiron, and Baled, to Tell Hum and Khan Minyeh on the Lake of Galilee. This would give opportunity for surveying the ridge dividing the Haabany and Litany and the district round Jebel Jurmnk and Rated, whilst excavations plans and photographs are being made among the ruins at Tell Harm. The health of the party was good.-1 SW, so., GEORGE GROVE, Hon. Sec. Sedenham, S.E., Feb. 9. Driana.

When Mr. Worms ar rived, the animal first attacked had already exhibited all ' the symptoms of the disease for upwards of 48 hours, and Mr. Worms pronounced the rase to be hopeless. He, how- ever, administered his specific, and though there is some fear that the animal may still die from exhaustion, the disease itself appears to have been conquered. In the other two cases the treatment was so successful that both animals were last night believed to be out of danger.—Timer.
