GERMANY.

A ministerial paper states that the King of Prussia
has met the recent papal brief concerning mixed
marriages by issuing a royal decree. The pope hav-
ing ordained that no catholic female shall main a
protestant who will not swear to have his children
educated in the faith of the church of Home, the
king decrees that any officer of his army marrying
under a condition so degrading shall he held unwor-
thy to serve the sovereign of an independent state,
and dismissed the Prussian service.

The Hanoverian cabinet has just sustained a seri-
ous defeat in the Second Chamber. Its proposition
for modifying the constitution so as to satisfy the
Knirearchy, who threaten an appeal to the Frank-
fort Diet, has been rejected by 42 to 33 votes. The
ministry is in a state of embarrassment, but cannot
resign as the sovereign is with us in England.
The French ambassador at Vienna gave a grand
dinner on the 19th, at which the Russian and British
ambassadors, the other members of the diplomatic
corps, and the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs
were present.

THE UNITED STATES.
ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA.

A telegraphic summary of the following intelli-
gence appeared in our impression of Saturday :

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.
At 10.34 this morning, the royal mail steam-ship,
Arabia, Captain Indkins 'lntend the Mersey from
New York, whence she sailed at 12.35 on the 15th
instant. The Arabia has thus made the run across
the Atlantic from New York in 9 days, 17 hours.
and 19 minutes, the shortest passage ever accom-
plished. Besides the usual mails, the Arabia has
brought 163 passengers, and 518,914 dollars in
specie on freight.
The royal mail steamer, Asia, was passed by the
Arabia 48 miles off Sandy Hook, inward bound.
The United States mail steam-ship, Pacific, arrived
at New York on the 12th inst.

The Earl of Ellesmere had gone to Philadelphia,
and intended afterwards to proceed to Canada.
The New York state legislature have adopted the
Maine Liquor Bill by a majority of 17 to 13.
The trial of Captain Molony for the murder of a
seaman named Emanuel, in the ship Roscius, termi-
nated on the 11th in a verdict of acquittal.
The steam-ship Illinois, from Aspinwall, on the
4th, arrived at New York on the 12th inst., with the
California mails, over 1,100,000 dollars in gold
dust on freight, and 324 passengers.
139 of the rescued passengers of the lost ship Wil-
liam and Mary arrived at New Orleans ou the 11th
inst., in a destitute condition.

The opening of the New York Crystal Palace is
fixed for the 16th of July. The President of the
United States and the heads of the various depart-
ments are to take part in the opening ceremonies.
The Gavazzi excitement still continues at Mon-
treal. On Sunday night, the 12th inst., a mob de-
molished all the windows of St. Stephen's Church,
situated in the suburbs. The liberal-minded and
well informed Roman catholics of that city, deeply
deprecating the recent outrages, yesterday held a
meeting, at which they resolved not only to repair
the damages but to use every exertion to ferret out
and bring to justice those who participated in the
riots. Three more of those who were wounded at
the time of the attack on Father Gavazzi in the
church have died. The Padre was to return to Mon-
treal on the 15th to conclude his lectures.

On Sunday evening, the 12th instant, Father
Gavazzi delivered hiscustomary lecture to the Italians
at the Stuyvesant Institute, in the presence of an im-
mense audience, who testified their approval of his
address by loud and repeated applause. He briefly
reviewed the late riot in Canada, and a bitter
invective against the Irish priesthood,who he be-
lieved excited the passions of the misguided men who
attacked him. It is the intention of the Italians in
New York to present a gold medal to the Scotch
sergeant who so bravely defended the Pudre.
According to the correspondence published from
Oreytown, the last semblance of the authority of the
Musquito King over that town has disappeared. The
approval by the United States government of the
prompt action of the commander of the Cyane,
which was also quietly acquiesced in by the British
Consul, seems to have rather unexpectedly settled
the territorial dispute between Nicaragua and the
Mosquitoee.
The health of the Isthmus of Panama was com-
paratively excellent at last advices.
The breach between the Gaverni r and the Assem-
bly of the island of Jamaica still continued at the
last dates. The refractory members of the Assembly
still maintained their position, and resolutely refused
to come together; and those who approved of the
governor% policy were too few in number to form a
quorum. The governor feared to dissolve the body,
for the reason that the cause of the aasemblymeb
would be greatly strengthened by a new election,
which would displace his adherents in the council,
and fill their plaoss with members of the popular
side. The rejection of the appropriation bills had
caused the island to remain without a revenue for
over a month, since which time the various civil and
other functionaries had been working on expectancy.
The discovery of new copper mines was of frequent
occurrence. The yellow fever had disappeared, and
fertilising showers had blessed the hopes of the
huabandmen.

Details of Mexican news up to the 28th ult.
have been received.

The Trail d' Union, published in the city of
Mexico, says, " Conflicts are still taking place be-
tween the soldiers of the garrison, police agents, and
citizens. During the night of the 15th the dead
bodies of three soldiers were picked up."
On the 18th alt. Mons. Levasseur officially in-
formed the government the expedition of Count
Raonaut Bouillon had dispersed before leaving Cali-
fornia. The Universal says that Raousset hue
written to the French Minister that he formed his
expedition for the purpose of avenging himself upon
the government of President Arista, but that he
would desist from his attempts, and serve Mexico, if
the new administration would give him passports to
Mexico. The same paper adds, that he is coming to
Mexico, and that the government will employ hies
in its service.

A decree has been issued ordering that all the
revenues of the different States be paid into the
National Treasury.
Don Bonifacio Guiterrez bad returned to the city
of Mexico, after having formally taken possession of
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec as the representative of
the Sloe Company.
Later dates to the 4th inst. state that the govern-
ment was engagrd upon the tariff. The tobacco
monopoly is to be taken from private hands, and ad-
ministered by the government. The Siylo newspaper
had been fined for an infringement of the law regu-
lating the press.
Senor Alaman, the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
died on Ist June, and Manuel Bonnita, Secretary of
War, takes his place. Senor Navareco, of Gua&la-
jars, was spoken of for Secretary of War.
Santa Anna had revived an old decree intended for
the annoyance of United States travellers, and the
Governor of Acapulco, Gen. Alvarez, had issued a
counter proclamation, advising the people to pay no
attention to the edict of Santa Anna.
The new tariff of Santa Anna is said to be higher
than that of 1813, and was expected to prove very
unsatisfactory. Cotton goods are to pay six cents per
yard.
The difficulties between Peru and Equador seem
to grow more and more complicated with every at-
tempt at negotiation. Should actual hostilities com-
mence between the two nations, of which there is
now every probability, sides will most likely be taken
by, ^nd a general war ensue between, the adjacent
republics. Chili, in the meanwhile, is making rapid
progress in the extension of her steam marine and
facilities of internal communication.
