Of course, the War news is still the exciting topic of general interest. To-day, we have a few further particulars, which somewhat modify the glowing accounts of the brilliant, and what was termed unsurpassed, victory of Solferino. According to the accou nts received this morning, General N e il, with 35,000 men, with two divisions of cavalry, in all about 50,000 men, was engaged from four in the morning till four in the afternoon,when he succeeded in forcing the Austrian centre. After twelve hours' fighting, the Austrians had brought up their reserve of 80,000 men, and,the allies theirs of 50,000. It was -a most critical moment, three hours of general fighting ending to the advantage of the allies. The first Zouaves are said to have been much cut up, and the first Chasseurs of Africa terribly mangled. Four Generals in the French army were wounded. The Piedmontese are said to have had three Generals wounded and one killed. 14,000 beds have been demanded at Milan, for the use of the Mounded. The Piedmontese Gazette, of Tuesday, publishes official • details of the battle, written the same evening. According to positive information, 25,000 Sardinians held their ground against 50,000 Austrians, who occupied a formidable position, from which they were dislodged by the Sardinians, under the orders of the King, The loss of the Piedmontese is said to be about 1,000 killed and 1 000 wounded. The reason why the Austrianisrtcrossed the Mimi° is attributed to a sug gestion of th e Prince of Prussia, who saw that if they gained th e battle the intervention of Prussia would not be needed, but if they were beaten, and the allies followed the Austrians across, that would alter, the questi on . • The French Government does not appear alarmed at—the military movements in Prussia. The garrisons on t'n., eastern frontiers have not been reinforced. Marshal Pelissier has made arrangements with the railways to convey 30,000 troops from Paris to Strasbourg withi n twelve hours, so that 100,000 men may be. assembled on the Rhine within thirty-six hours. It is rather singular that since the Solferino battle we have heard nk) menaces from Berlin. Is it conceivable that Prussia, imagining her rival crushed, should, after rejoice in such a result; and still - keep her powe rs of intervention in reserve? There as yet, no evidence of such a policy. Prom all we learn, it would seem the Frankfort .Diet • is > preparing, gradually yet with resolution, for a conflict. It waits, probably, for some further moves on the `3'•_.? TO `l'3 , ' ...- ~~ theatre of war. Austria, of course, cannot be said to have sustained any annihilating shock, when, before and after such a battle as that of Solferino, her head-quarters have been immoveably fixed at Villafranca ; of the twenty-five thousand men defeated at Magenta, more than two-thirds, as we , now ascertain, fought in the Chiesan Valley ; that they were forced into a position so untenable and perilous was owing to the obstinacy of Francis Joseph, who, neglecting the advice of his ablest Generals, - ventured on. a course of experimental strategy, and is now compelled to place in the hands of a subject that army which, scarcely ten days since, he declared should follow.him victoriously until the enemies of his empire had been totally . routed. The Times Paris Correspondent reports that a project is spoken of for mobilising 100 - Battalions of National Guards, or re-organising them for garrison duty. An Aide-de-Camp of the. Emperor Alexander of Russia has left St. Petersburgh for Italy, who is said to be the bearer of an autograph letter from the Czar to the Emperor Napoleon. The Canadian mails arrived here yesterday, and l i the West India mails reached Southampton. We have alio' received telegraphic advices of the arrival of the Brazilian mail at Lisbon. By these arrivals there is very little news of interest. In Canada, politics were very dull; and the only thing to enliven the citizens of Quebec, was the constant - occurrence of disgraceful scenes in the City Council. The particulars of two or three executions are given in the Canadian papers. The crops were in a most promising condition. From the States, there is one item' of news of interest to Educationalists. The New York Board of Education, had passed by a vote 25 to 16, a resolu tion compelling the reading of the Bible in all public schools. From South America we learn that 2,000 men had invaded the Ara Ar gentine Confederation. Paraguay promised t o assist General Urquiza with four steam vessels. The Brazils remain neutral but 1 but they are increasing their naval force in La Plata. With respect to Election matters, we may mention that Mr. Sydney Herbert was returned for South Wilts, yesterday, without. opposition. In his address to the electors, the right hon. gentleman said, he saw no grounds for our taking part in the present war. The national defences, however, must be attended to, or the Bovernment would be guilty of dereliction of duty if it did -not press them for ward to the utmost. As to Reform, it must be carried out in a manner which would not be forgetful of the past, or reckless of the future. Mr. V hit bread,- the Ministerial candidate, has been returned by a majority of from 60 to 70 votes. Lord Bury was also returned for Norwich, by a substantial majority. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon. The most important local event of yesterday was the arrival of Mr. Cobden in Liverpool. Addresses were presented to Mr. CObden, by Mr. Wm. Brown, on behalf of a Liberal meeting held in the_Clarendon rooms ; by Mr. Robertson Gladstone, on behalf of the Financial Reform Association; and by Mr. Isaac Cooke, on behalf of the Liverpool Peace Society. Mr. Cobden delivered a separate reply to each, touching on the progress of free-trade principles the European war, - in regard to 'which he declared himself emphatically for neutrality.; and the question of direct taxation, which, although impracticable at present, he expressed a hope to see One day made a subject of legislative consideration. He pleaded his recent arrival, and want of acquaintance with the present state of parties, as a sufficient reason for his not venturing upon any expression as to the course he should, upon consideration, find it fitting to adopt regarding the official post tendered to him. Mr. Cobden seems in good health. His reception was most enthusiastic. . .... THE PEERAGE AS A CONVENIENCE.: THE Peerage did not use to be considered a mere, political convenience. One was accustomed to think' of it as something rather higher than that, at any rate. 'lts merits used to be sung in sublimer strains: than any which could possibly arise from its cha racter as an accommodation to a place-grasping. strategist. It is a body which one has been wont to hear spoken of as "Brave Peers of England, pillars of the State." , To be raised to that body has hitherto been con-, sidered the highest honour which a British subject could have conferred upon him by his Sovereign who is the fountain of honour. And such an eleva tion has , been the common reward of great public service's, and esteemed one most fitting and most worthy as an acknowledgment of, and in return for such services. It is, indeed, one of the most proper uses, and principal designs of this part of the Con stitution—that, we mean, of enabling the Sovereign, by the right of bestowing the Peerage, to reward the servants of the public in a manner most grateful to them; and at a small expense to the nation.. But Lord ZALMERSTON, it would seem, to suit. the exigencies of his present position, has changed all this. - In the words of an independent contemporary, " that aristocratic assembly appears to be becotaing, gradually an asylum for amiabie and decayed poli ticians. As soon as their presence in the Commons is no longer desirable, and their places are needed for better men, they are relegated to a sereneisphere and a happier world. Gathered to sleep with the grandfathers of the nation, they cease to hamper their friends and encumber their patrons. When a political hack is broken down, or has acquired a con founded trick of jibbing, or really looks so disrepu table that Premiers are' ashamed to run him in harness with the rest, only one thing remains to be done. He is turned out to • grass in the Upper House, and enjoys from that moment the green pasturages and still waters of a domain where exis tence is a long dead calm of fixed repose, -He likes the change, and gives no more trouble to the team." , . Lord PAIMERSTON, • we say, has just given a re markable illustration of this, and, indeed, something more. He has made use of the Royal prerogative; not merely to make it turn that House into an asylum, but, as it were, a place of distinction. He has "put into it two political hacks," one of them, it is true, because he had " broken down," but the other mainly because, through his restiveness, he was quite in the way: he obstructed the Premier elect in the formation of his Reform Cabinet, after his own fashion. We will take the last first. Sir BENJAMIN him self has thus related to his late constituents of Marylebone the history of his removal from the Lower to the Upper House : ---" During the progress of the formation of the new Administration, Lord PALMERSTON sent for me, and expressed his regret that at the present time he could not offer me a seat in the Cabinet, but that he would not give the office of First Commissioner of Public Works to any other person, without placing it at my disposal; and that, if upon consideration, I should be of opinion that I could not, as a member of the House of Commons, again accept that appointment, unaccompanied by a seat in the Cabinet, he considered that there should be some public recognition of my services, and he proposed to submit my name to the QUEEN for elevation to the Peerage." This tells the whole tale. It substantially verifies what, by way of introduction, we have briefly described as the process of deteriora tion thus set in operation upon the second estate of the r ea h n ; bhp *r, taking an in* dependeut view, Osl we do, i• • •• . r • . .. . . xr.--- . .-- 1 tu , f niethvi ~.., , 43,,,, 4 ,,. ; ,,,, zti j . ?41 ., ,r, alsfigg. st. .

TAG) - • ee . •t• THE NORTHERN TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1859 of the artful dodging with Sir BENJAMIN, thus plainly speaks of it :--" The right hon. Baronet has been a sufficiently consistent Reformer to enable any Minister to reckon upon his support t 5) a sipcgre; and Liberal niettSure. It iss `his independent oprib sition. to a delusive or unsatisfactory project that was alone to be feared. When, therefore, the Prime Minister made Sir BENJAMIN the offer of his former place in the Government, but without a seat in the Cabinet, or of a peerage, as related on Saturday to the Marylebone vestry, his astute lordship Made a popular promotion without at all pledging himself to a popular policy. He, in fact, got rid of one of the men whose absence from a Cabinet thickly studded with nobles of high and low degree would help to generate distrust, and whose opposition to a more Liberal Government would.be as certain as his retention of a seat for Marylebone. Why was the proposal of a peerage presented to Sir B. HALL in the shape of an alternative ? If Lord PALMERSTON has so high a sense of Sir BENJAMIN'S former services as Chief Commissioner of Public Works, why was he not recommended for elevation to the Peerage when the Government of which he was a member went out ? Or why were not his talents and experience again secured to the service of the country by room being made for him in the Cabinet?" The only consistent answer to these questions is that already given. Lord PALMERSTON wanted to get rid of so throrough and therefore troublesome a Reformer ; and the latter could not resist the alternative that was offered him f- t of the appointment, and received from the Queen his Gold Stick of Office as Captaiu of the Hon. Corps of Gentlemen at Arms. Earl Dacie bad an audience, kissed hands on his appointment, and received from her Majesty his Gold Stick of Office as Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard. -The-Earl of Carlisle had an audience of the Queen. The Duchess of Sutherland, Mistress of the Robes, and Vippountess Jocelyn, Lady in Waiting, attended her Majesty at the Investiture. The Yeomen of -the Guard were on duty in the Grand Hall. A Guard of Honour of the Grenadier Guards, with the band of the regiment, was on duty in the quadrangle of the Palace. " Their Imperial Highnesses the Duke Nicolas de Leuchten berg, and, his brother, Prince Eugene, visited the Queen in the afternoon. Baron Brunnbw,, the Russian Minister, accompanied their Imperial Highnesses, who were attended by Colonel Rehbinder. His Majesty the*King of the -Belgians, and the Count of Flanders, attended by Colonel de Moerkerke, went to Ton bridge, and visited the Countess do Neuilly. The Duke of Oporto paid a visit to the Duke of Cambridge at his residence in St. James's Palace. Prince Leopold and the Princess Louisa took a carriage drive. The Queen had a dinner party in the evening T T LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. BODIES FOUND IN THE RIVER.--Yesterday, the bodies of two men were found in the river. Inquests will be held on the remains this day. A boy named Patrick Murray, fifteen years of age, was killed yesterday, on board the ship Palestine, in the Huskis son Dock, by falling into the hold. IT IS SUPPOSED the subsidy of £78,000 to the Galway line, for conveyance of maili to and from New York will be withdrawn, in consequence of the sihpowners of LiverL 'mg to do the business at - ocean postag,e.—Limrriak Lave_ . way And now as to the other case. Mr. VERNON SMITH'S faux-pas at the India Board of LORD PAL MERSTON'S former Administration, cannot have been forgotten by the country. It gained him, not un naturally, and certainly not undeservedly, a good deal of popular odium, and its consequent public reproach. And now the Peerage is to be the solace for all his sufferings, the balm for all his woes ! LORD PALMERSTON has given it out, it appears, that ".Her Majesty deeply sympathised with Mr. SMITH under the scurrility to which he had been subjected "—that is, for his political peccadillos. As to this point, how ever, says the SatUrday leview, " we are sadly afraid poor Mr. V. SMITH has been the victim of an unprin cipled hoax. We think we trace in this the hand of our _wag of a _Premier. It was not a-bad joke- to represent Her Majesty as pining away in secret sympathy with Mr. V. SMITH'S sorrows. It is probably Lord PALMERSTON'S last. Yet if, indeed, the tale be a piteous reality, Mr. V. SMITH'S calum niators have much to answer for. There has been a sad time of it in the highest quarters. Tears have been- shed in- a certain locality. Two ladies in waiting have wept themselves away. Great, how ever, as was the trouble in the Palace, we cannot wonder when we, contemplate the trials of the candidate for commiseration. He never told his grit: Silent, suffering Mr. SMITH ! He knows what it is to have been in the fiery furnace of tribu lation, and to have belonged to the noble army of martyrs. What a delight to think that he only emerges a brighter jewel from the ordeal, and puts ' off the martyr to put on the peer!" Such, then, are the different ways in, which a free-and-easy Premier, like my Lord PALMERSTON, can make a convenience of the British Peerage. Tho two elevations in question have been made on quite distinct grounds—although with a similar object. As the Star has further explained it,—" the Marylebone Bat-inlet is offeiecrthi alternative of a Peerage, as a means for the repression of his troublesome activity. The ex-President of.(th6...Roard :of Control receives, without the option of a seat in or out of the Cabinet, consolation for the pain of failure and the ignominy of being duped. In the one case, Lord PALMERSTON buys off a possible foe—in the other, he shelves a too faithful friend." Such are some of the mysteries of , Whig Cabinet-making. Such are the tricks which the Aristocratic Whigs find it necessary to have recourse to, in order to construct a par excellence Reform Ministry ! Chronicle. A DoneTruL and chequered fame Mr. Gladstone will assuredly leave; but he will leave a fame bright enough to gibbet the ungenerous pretensions of his obscure opponent (Lord Chandos), when his own faults are buried in a great man's graye.--Saturday Review. - SINGULAR DEATH.—Yesterday, a woman named Mary Shaw, died under the following circumstances :—On Satur day, an inquest was held on the body of a man named William Williams, with whom the deceased woman lived, and yesterday she went with his funeral to Walton. On the road - she suddenly dropped down, and instantly expired. • THE-EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN COMPANY'S STEAMERS.-- It is stated that Mr. Lever, M.P., is now in Vienna, hoping to negocidte a sale to the Austrian government of .the eight steamers'belonging to the'European and American Company, and now the property of Mr. Howard, of Manchester. It is said that successful overtures have been made to the French government. Wno JOSEPH CAMPBELL IS.—A young Scotch girl, who was giving evidence in a case before Mr. Mansfield, at the _Police-court, yesterday, mentioned the name--of--Joseph Campbell two or three times. Mr. Clough asked her who Joseph Campbell was ? and she replied he was a Scotchman, ~ and- t ame from a place called Scotland, which was convenient to the Isle of. Man ! Of course, this settled the question, and settled Mr. Clough also ! THE REGISTERED VESSELS of Great Britain and her de pendencies, exclusive of river craft, according to the latest returns, amount to 37,088, admeasuring 5,531,887 tons, and manned by crews of 300,357 sailors, while those of France exhibit only 15,175 vessels, 1,052,535 tonnage, and an ag grembate of 90,217 men. Such a nursery for our royal navy and dockyards, while it has been one of the main resources in establishing our past supremacy, is no less a secure pledge for its future maintenance. WARD'S MARINE SIGNAL COMMUNICATOR.--Yesterday, Mr. Ward exhibited, at the Underwriters'-rooms, his marine signal communicator. The invention consists of signal communicators -by lights, and, as a piece of ingenious mechanism, we have not seen anything to equal it. As a communicator, there can be no doubt of its efficiency. The only drawback we can see upon its universal adoption on ship board, is the complication of its actual working. Get rid otthis, and the invention will be a valuable and desirable one on board all ships. AN ATTORNEY IN QUOD.—Yesterday, at the Police-court, an attorney named Lightfoot, who sometimes appears there, was bronght before Mr. Mansfield, charged with being drunk and disorderly. He begged hard to be let off, and promised he would never be brought there again. His Worship said, as the prisoner had been so often before him, and had.made similar promises, he could not credit him, and ordered him pay.ss and costs, or to be imprisoned for three days. His Worship added : You had better get some one to pay the fine, or you may miss some case in the other court ! PASSENGERS by the screw-steamer Indian, from QaebeC.-- I P. Garnean, H. Benjamin, Z.

DISGRACEFUL ELOPMENT OF A CHELTENHAM CLERGY MAN.—For some time past Dr. Humphreys, the master of the Cheltenham Grammar SchoOl; a large 'foundation educational establishment, had been most popular, and was, regarded as one of the lights of the town. Last week he' tendered his resignation of the office on account - of pecuniary difficulties, and left Cheltenham on a visit (as he said) to some relations in Derbyshire.

THE WAR IN ITAtY. THE SWISS ATROCITIES. BERNE, Wednesday.—On receipt of the news of the massacre at Perugia; the - Swiss residents at Milan were ill-treated by the popUlace, but the police interfered. The Federal Council has- addressed cir culars to the Swiss Consular Agents in Italy, in which the Council protests against denOminating regiments composed of foreigners, as Swiss regiments, and requests that use may be made of the circulars, -in Order that this subject may Le put in its proper light before the eyes of the public. • THE AFFAIR AT PERUGIA. The Tuscan and Piedmontese journals contain accounts of the proceedings of the Swiss troops at Perugia. After all resistance had ceased, the troops began to massacre the citizens indiscriminately,. sparing neither age nor sex. The Municipality attempted to stop this . carnage, and left the Town hall, with a white flag, for this purpose ; but they were fired upon by the soldiers, and Secretary Porta, who carried the flag, fell mortally wounded. One, of the journals gives a list of the persons murdered by the soldiers after the fighting was over ; among them were, three married couples, five elderly women, three unmarried females, the daughter of a Captain Polidori, five years old, &c. An infant was taken from its mother's breast and thrown into the Tibor. The official journals of Rome state that the - Swiss officer who commanded the attach Perngiti, has been raised to the rank of General of Brigade. All those who distinguished themselves in this affair are to be mentioned in an order, of the day, • CIRCULAR OF COUNT CAVOUR. The object of this despatch, - which has been ad dressed to all the representatives of Sardinia at foreign ports, is to explain the events which have occurred since the commencement of the war, and to reiterate that its object is the independence of. Italy, and the., expulsion of Austrians from the Peninsular. THE AUSTRIAN ARMY. VERONA, June 28th (vid Trieste).— Count Pourtales has arrived here, at the head-quarters of the Austrian army. Laybach has been fixed as the scat of the Military and Civil Government of Lombardy, and of the employees of the Government.

PARIs, June 29 - .—The Moniteitr contains details of the battle at Solferino, which are but reports of the different attacks of the corps d'armee. The lifonitenr does not state the number - of killed and wounded on either side. The Austrians, by their first retreat over the Mincio, had desired to inspire us . with adventurous confidence, so that we should 'de ploy . our lines to a great extent, and enable them to attack our .editimns thus' distant from each other, but the Emperor, without departing from that exalted prudence which ' regulates his courage, the further, the army advanced the more the columns strengthened themselves by concentration. Solferino is one of those battles which, as they do not end a war, at least allow the solution to be foreseen. • The Emperor of Austria commanded in- person, and has.thus been able to see of what a nation he has made himself the enemy. SARDINIAN ACCOUNT. . TritiN, Wednesday. The Pieclnzontese Gazette Publishes the report of the battle of Solferino, written on the same evening : During the night from the 19th to the 20th inst., the Austrians evacuated the right bank of the Mincio. On the 24th the Emperor ordered the army of the King of Sar dinia to 'occupy Pezzoleno, and to invest Peschiera, whilst the- French army. occupied Solferino.and Cavriana. The King ordered the Ist and sth divisions to despatch detach- . ments - to the places nientioned, and the 3rd division also to send a detachment toviards Peschiera. The Austrians, during the night, from. the 23rd to -the 24th, advanced towards the right bank of. the Mincio. Reports of deserters are unaninous,in that 40,000 men were collected at Pozzolengo. Marshal Barguay d'llilliers • met with unexpected difficulties at Solferino, and the Piedmontese reconnaissances also encountered great forees of, the enemy.. Whilst Baraguay d'Hilliers performed prodigies, of valour at Solferino, the masses of the- enemy continued to advance. • At Castiglione the Emperor, perceiving that he was now contending with the entire army of the enemy,, deployed the corps of Generals Niel and IWlllabon in the plain, and ordered Canrobert to rejoin with the Imperial Guard the reserve on the heights. The King had been requested to direct all the forces possi ble against Solferino, and he accordingly ordered Generals Fanti and Durando to craivey • succours to-the French. General Fanti had already' commanded the movement to be made when news arrived that the reconnaissances of the 3rd and 6th divisions were in danger of being cut off at Disen zano by a superior force of the enemy. The King recalled Fanti, and ordered the, brio 6 ude Aosta to return promptly to San Martino. However, 13aragnayd'Hilliers won Solferino, and marched against Cavriana. The King having been informed that, notwithitanding the 3rd and sth divisiOns were engaged, it was difficult to carry the heights of San Martino, ordered a general attack of those divisions with the brigade Aosta, the Ist division under General della Marmora, and the brigade de. Piemont. In spite of. a violent tempest, • General della Marmora directed his course by Pozzolengo, and 'descended upon San Martino, but was attacked from the side of Pozzolengo. The 4th regiment moving to the left repulsed the enemy, causing great losses with our artillery. In spite of General Duranao's delay, occasioned by the tempest, and by the ignorance of the guides, the 3rd and sth divisions and the brigade Aosta dislodged the enemy from his formidable positions, and a brilliant victory ended a contest of fifteen hours, sustained with heroic constancy. The order of the army was admi rable. Here follow details as to the loss of the Piedmontese, according to which 1,000 were killed, and- about the same number wounded. The heights having been occupied, the French forced the enemy, to retire to Goito - thus beaten along their whole line. According to positive information it results that 25,000 Sardinians held their ground against 50,000 Austrians who were united and engaged with all the advantage of position. THE SWISS BARBARITIES AT. PERUGIA. The Tuscan and Piedmontese papers teem with accounts of the shoCking scenes enacted at Perugia by the Swiss troops. A letter of the 21st from Arezzo, in, the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, announces the arrival in that town of many persons who had fled from Perugia, but in such a state of terror and alarm that they . were able to give but a very imperfect account of the barbarous proceedings of the papal soldiers who occupied the town. The letter adds : The number of killed And wounded' during Atruggle y 11. ; • , wey , ,71• ,, 001:1 1 Ys!!-.TB ; - ;Jr 4113-1)1.1xf ,1211EiT ;1:10,114.: fie =Oll cl,o.re T — Et ; - *tte /0.1%i tr . ft ,7,l,EAsAccd .tfairairr .H 6%1 roFI . ,Orfs::-Fazi.loarteeff ,Lt • PRAtiV;IO.: • 4 :"T.Alar •T0.1' 14 . 1 Jt ;Jaw ittLikT aoif;laff • * Mesta 117.4310, jkLact..44l ; 11,4omiekril appears to have been small, but after all resistenee hat ceased the troops began to massacre the citizens indiscrimi nately, sparing neither age nor sex.

A Florence letter, in the Corriere - Mercantile, a dds that Cortona is full of refugees from Perugia, includ ing the Princess Bonaparte, whose house was violated. She arrived at Torentola, in Tuscany, on the 20th, and was expected at Florence. The same letter , after stating that the capuchin friars of the Monte convent fired upon the fugitives, and that the troops did not even respect the ambulances, distinguishable by a black flag. who were engaged in taking up the wounded, gives a long list of the perscins murdered by the soldiery after all fighting was over. Among these we find three married couples, five elderli r women, three unmarried females, the daughter of Captain Polidori, five years old, &c. An infant was taken from. its mother's breast and thrown into the Tiber ; evert' an old beggar was shot in - the streets, and many men wantonly murdered or wounded. Al l the names of the sufferers are given in full in the list alluded to. where various acts of pillage are also mentioned. NAPLES. Count Salmour, the minister sent to Naples by 6° King of - Sardinia .to 'restore diplomatic relations between the two courts,`..has been.decorated by tlie King of the Two Sicilies with -the order of St. Januarius, the-most distinguished honour in his gift. The investiture took place on the 19th, at the residence of the Count. A few weeks ago, the Neapolitan Consul-Genera l at Leghorn, having.refused to acknowledge the act' of the Tuscan government, was suspended from the exercise of his functions. This gentleman having since come to a better mind, -he has been reinstlled. WEST INDIA MAIL.

The Atrato brings the Consuls of EngliMut France, and Spain, who have broken off political relations with the government of St. Domingo. The cause of the rupture was owing to the Dominican government calling ld the paper money issued by the previous administration, an f fixing upon it a Mere nominal value.. The Consuls Holland; Denmark,:and Saidinia have also suspended thea relations. The American Consul still remains at 6t. Domingo.
