This document, which is couched in a calm but very earnest tone, represents that such resolutions of the (Ecumenical Council must have very serious consequences, both for the Church itself, and for its relations with the State. The Austrian Government therefore warns the Vatican before hand in the most decisive manner against the adoption of the principles of the new syllabus. AN INDIAN CHIEF'S MEMORIAL OF THE DUKE'S VISIT. The Bombay Gazette mentions an interesting letter horn a Deccan chief concerning the visit of the Duke of Edin burg. He rejoices at the opportunity afforded to the natives of beholding for the first time a member of the Royal Family of • England, and wishes to do something as a token of regard to his Royal Highness. He therefore proposes to fix e clock with a suitable inscription in the city of Poonah. He has asked and obtained the sanction of the Bombay Government for this loyal undertaking. He also expressed a hope that it might be customary with members of the Royal Family to visit India, so that by repeated commu nication with them the natives might feel assured of the azcomplishment of their wishes. PRINCE ARMEE IN THE STATES. X Prince Arthur's visit to New York has caused the greatest enthusiasm among the citizens, and the New York Herald chronicles his every movement in a manner that is half satirical in its extravagance. Wherever the Prince moved he was attended by an eager throng of observers. The Herald gives a summary of his opinions on the people and customs of the United States, furnished "by direction of the Prince to the Herald reporter," which consequently we may take cum grano salts. Before leaving Washington, Prince Arthur paid a farewell visit to the President and Mrs. Grant accompanied by Mr. Thornton. The President was at the Opera, but Mrs. Grant received the party with grace and cordiality. The Prince, says the Herald corre spondent, expressed regret at not seeing the President to bid him goodbye, to which Mrs. Grant answered by saying that she hoped this would not be the last visit his Royal Highness would make to Washington, and that at least he would come if only for a short time when the International Exhibition was held. The people of the British Legation are not all pleased here with the manner of the President toward the Prince. They complain, in the first place, because the President declined to attend the dinner, b which he was invited, and in ,the second place because he never called upon the Prince at all. It is customary, they say, for the sovereigns of every nation to visit a prince of the royal blood and Grant's sin of omission is regarded as having been com mitted with a studied purpose. The Prince has presented beautiful gifts from his royal mother to Mr. and Mrs. Thornton. To Mrs. Thornton he gave a large gold bracelet, embellished with an ornamental horse-shoe, formed of tor quoises, surrounded by a cluster of small diamonds, and a very large diamond in the centre. The Minister's gift consisted of a miniature portrait of the Prince, also a present from the Queen, set in a splendid frame, at the bottom of which is written, " The Right Honourable Edward Thornton, C. 8., from Victoria, 1870," the whole contained in a rich morocco case. THE PEABODY OBSEQUIES. The New York papers of February 1 describe the be•: ginning of the ceremonies which took place in honour of the late Mr. Peabody, and the interest which was excited among the people. From all quarters marks of respect were paid to the departed philanthropist, and a constant stream of visitors passed in and out of the City Hall, where the remains were lying in state. Thousands came in by the early morning trains from distant cities. The scene in the mortuary chapel was most impressive. The New York Herald observes that no spectacle of the kind was ever before witnessed there, and in an artistic, paint of view it is generally believed to almost approach the scene on the occasion of the funeral of the Duke of Wellington, and to even rival the profuse and elaborate emblems of mourning at the ob;e quies of the late Prince Albert and President Lincoln. Admiral Farragut was among the first to pay his respects. CUBAN AFFAIRS. Gonzalo Ca.stana, editor of the Voz de Cuba, was attacked by several Cubans while standing at the front of his hotel, who fired at him. He returned their shot, but shortly afterwards received a mortal wound, and died in a few minutes. The news of his shooting caused great excitement at Habana, and an investigation was to take place into the whole affair. The French Republicans of St. Louis have shewn great sympathy with the Cubans, and have resolved to open a subscription list and send memorials to Congress in aid of ' the Cuban cause. A Cuban victory is reported near Guaimaro, where General Puello's horse was killed under him, and his leg severely injured by the fall. It is reported from Havana that one of the new Spanish gunboats was wrecked. She ran ashore on the Colorado Reefs, and was a complete loss. The second lot of Spanish gunboats built at New York have arrived at Cuba. The trial of women for treason has become frequent in Cuba. Many have been imprisoned since the outbreak of the war, and several have been tried by court-martial, one of whom has been sentenced to death. The latest accounts show that the rebellion is not by any means crushed out. UAYTL The New York papers publish intelligence from Hayti to the 23rd of January, brought by the steamer from Port au-Prince. Salnave's family, consisting of his wife, mother, and eleven children, together ith the fugitives who had been protected by the American Consul, had sailed for Inagua, whence they were to proceed to San Domingo, on the invitation of Baez. It is said that the authorities at Port-au-Prince hold a letter from Sal nave offering $50,000 gold in two drafts on foreign► houses .in that city if his life could be saved. The United States Minister attempted to obtain his body for burial by his family, but was refused with derision. The infuriated mob insulted the minister, and threatened him with death. The troops who fought under Salnave at the late engagement with Cabral's army, have joined Cabral's forces, and intend attack ing the Dominican troops. Saget has been appointed President, Dominque, Governor of the South, and Alexis, Governor of the North. A decree had been issued closing all the ports which were not ports of entry for foreign vessels, prior to the revolu tion. There: was 'great excitement respecting the rumoured occupation of the Bay of Samana by the United States. The feeling against the cession of any part of the island to a foreign Power is so strong, and the liaytian jealousy of Baez so great, that should the session be carried out a serious difficulty . is likely to arise. A good understanding exists between Saget, thenew president, and Cabral, whose army defeated Salnave at Cuaba, and it is thought the provisional Government will assist Cabral in any movement he may make to defeat the plans of Baez for ceding the bay. Saget has issued an address to the Haytians appealing to them for assistance in preserving public order, and in maintaining the republic one and undivided. Yellow fever is raging, and a French war steamer, which arrived at Port au Prince with it on board, lost forty of her crew. THE NEW DOMINION. Letters from the Red River Country dated Fort Garrey, January 18, state that the French half-breed settlers were much dissatisfied with the course of the insugent Riel, on account of his annexation policy, and a report had reached • Pembina that he had been arrested by the local authori ties. From Chicago on the Ist of February it was declared that the old Hudson Bay Company's Government had been reinstated under the title of the Government and Council of Assiniboine, with Governor McTavish at its head. The object of this coup d'etat is to hasten the' accomplishment of the original design of the half-breeds. They will petition the Canadian Gdernment first, and fi tupuNesgul will resort to annexation. The Irish Liberal members will meet on Monday to consider the Irish Land Bill. The Rev. Frederick W. Farrar, of Harrow, has been chosen Hulsean Lecturer at Cambridge. The Leeds Mercury states that the strike of iron -1 stone miners of Cleveland, after lasting a fortnight, has coma to an end, and the men yesterday resumed work. Archbishop Lycurgus has been presented at Man chester with a Polyglot Bible, in eight languages. The presentation was made by Archdeacon Durnford. In tne tillardtan of last weer the ltev. Ed. Smart, of Munster:-square, London, defended the Atbanasian Creed on the authority of the text nark xiv. 16, "Ile that he lieveth not shall be damned," and asked, "Who shall dare to say that it is not part of the Gospel?" 1)r. Littletiale writes in the Guard on of this week :--" I dare for one, and so will everybody else who is familiar with ere a the !host ruttimentary facts in New Testament criticism, that the verse in question is not found in a single one of the older Greek MSS." A terrible disaster is reported from the Lincoln." shire coast. A ship, called the Itiva,• from Nova Scotia, lift Shields on Thursday last, with a cargo of red lead and soda, for Boston, U. S. The pilot was taken on board, as usual, but the storm raged so furiously that the vessel drifted down to the Lincolnshire coast, and struck on the Dowsin Sands. The large boat, containing seven men and the piiot. put ofi, but capsized near Alford, and only one man was saved. The smaller boat, with the captain and two mates,' also overturned, and the captain and first mate were drowned. A steamer, it is said, passed the small boat, but would not stay to render any assistance. '
