The New York World has issued the following
explanation of the apples:lace of the bogus procla-
mation in its columns The World, in common
with the Journal of Commerce and all the city
morning papers, was made the victim of a malicious
boa: by some scoundrel, who, imitating the mani-
fold copy of the Associated Preen, seat srsuad the
extraordinary proclamation which appeared in our
columns. Supposing it wasall right, the night editor
in charge published it in good faith, and its falsity
was not discovered until the edition was nearly
worked off The World does not stereotype its
forms, as do several of the other Morning papers,
and as it is now working off a very homey editioa
daily, we are compelled to go to press at an
unusually early hour. The louring! of COMPberell
was deceived in the same way as the g Grid, and of
cowrie quite as innocently. The Herold, we ow
denstancl, printed the false proclamation in a large
edition, but fortunately for them discovered it in
time to suppress it in their regular edition. We
regret exceedingly the publication, as we have a
just pride in publishing none but reliable news
but it was one of those Inexplicable accidents which
is liable to happen to any newspaper establish-
ment"

New Orleans dates to the 11th !daybed been re-
ceived at New York. Generals Heart' Benton and
Hamilton, and a large number of officers, both
American and Mexican, had arri►ed.
The Louisiana State Convention had amended
the constitution by a vote of 70 to 16, deelaring
that slavery and involuntary servitude, except for
punishment for crime, are hereby for ever abo-
lished and 'prohibited in the State, sod that the
legislature shall make no law recognising the right
of property in man.

THE SEIZURE OF THE CHINOHA ISLANDS
BY SPAIN. .

The Inapendanee Bilge says : " The conflict
between Peru and Spain, the gravity of which we
have pointed out, appears to have momentarily
revived the desire of the Spanish government to
exert its sovereign rights over that republic ; at
least, the Spanish proclamation indireetly indicates
this by declaring that Spain hu never recognised
the Hispano-American republics. The question
assumes from this momert a general character
which interests the politics of the whole world, and
certainly the great maritime powers cannot remain
strangers to the struggle which snob pretensions
might occasion. Fortunately the difference appears
to have entered upon a more satisfactory phase : a
despatch from Madrid informs us that the ministry
had met in order to deliberate upon the proposal
for an arrangement said to have been made by
Pen."

The Nord says : " A telegram from Madrid 'M-
amma that the Spanish government has received
despatches from Peru, according to which the Peru-
vian government is declared to be disposed to afford
satisfaction to Spain. This assertion does nos ap-
pear very probable for it is evident from the infor-
mation we publish 'elsewhere that if say govern-
ment has a right to demand satisfaction it is that of
Lima rather than that of Madrid."

The Paris papers announce that the French
charge d'affaires at Lima, M. Edmond de Lessem
protested, like the other representatives there
of foreign powers, ag►inst the occupation of the
Cbincha Islands by the Spanish squadron.
