With Spain, remarks the President, there have

The circumstances are next detailed attending the
proposition submitted by the United States to th
Earopsan Powers, that private property, except it be
contraband, shall be attempt from seizure by public
vessels of war. This proposition, which has
been nbmitted to the mane Power', has
not been rejected by any, and is favourably enter-
tained by all. Russia has explicitly approved of it, and
will co-operate in getting the smut of the Powers.
Such is the aspect of the negotiations on this
proposition as to warrant hope that the principal
feature of it, which is so just and equal in its
operations, so essential to the prospeeity of com-
mercial nations, and so consonant to the sentiments
of this enlightened period of the world, will *com-
mand the approbation of all maritime Powers, and
thus be incorporated into the code of international
law.

considerable discussion tinned in Senate. Mr. Hale
attacked the positions of the President, and
denied altogether the charges which imputed

fidelity to constitutional obligations and a love of
the Union. He said it was untrue that they sought
to usurp the power of the government. After this

PARIS, Sammy Ileum,.
Neither the positive sews from London that wi

is proclaimed between England and Penis, nor the
warlike attitude of the King of Prussia with regard
to Neufchatel, produced the slightest effect upon the
Little (Sunday) Bourse today; but these two grave
questions are naturally uppermost in the minds of
politicians. With respect to the first 1 have nothing
Authentic to add to what I stated on Friday, to the
elect that, if it be true that Russia is serious in hoe
1 threats to support the Shah against us, the Con-
ferences of Paris may be nipped in the bud. The
Nord of Brussels =firms an opinion I have rn
pettedly expressed that the preliminaries of the Con-
Amnon are far from settled, and that (apart from
the possible consequences of the state of war with
Persia) it is yet doubtful whether they will take
place. This Russian journal now says :—" It cannot
be concealed that certain symptoms seem to indicate
not only that all the Powers parties to the Treaty of
Paris have not consented to the new Conferences, bat
that among those who have consented there anion,
who, without haying precisely withdrawn their ad-
hesion, appear to regret it, and continually raise
difficulties." This is a striking commentary upon the
ambiguity which I pointed out on the day when the
last note on the subject was published in the
the Mositaw as lutkiog io the expression " loplwjart
(the greater part) of the Powers have adhered."
According to the Nord, it is really true that the
Euglish government has proposed to exclude Coast
Walewski from a seat in the Conferences, and that
upon the simple ground that inasmuch ea the meeting
was to be one of the second plenipotentiaries only,
France ought to be represented by Baron de Bow.
Teensy, in the same manner as Lord Cowley would
sit without Lord Clarendon, who was the ant
plenipotentiary at the Congress. It is also s
asserted that, under these eirostrstances, it in*
suggested that Lord Cowley should be the
President of the Conferences. Great blame is now

sought to be thrown upon England and Austria for
raising frivolous objections, but how far this blame is
well founded it le impoeuble to judge in the present

moment was oppoed to the principle of a new Con-
form* from the first, and it has ben invariably
stated in England that if the government consented
to yield the point of form, it was only on the
ainarance that the substantial point at issue
should not be risked. If there be now any doubt
about that (as the Nord says there is), England is
perfectly consistent in standing out, no matter whe-
ther upon what may be termed frivolous objections,
or others. However this may be, the Nord thinks
"it will not be astonishing if, a few days hence, it
should be announced that England and Autria
formally refuse the Conferences."
The French government is very much embarrassed
by the fatuous obstinacy of the King of Prussia about
NeurchateL The A osemblio pretends that the royal-
ists in Neufchatel are being persecuted, that, in fact,
a reign of terror prevails there to their prejudice
but the object of this sally is to urge France to oc-
cupy the territory, a project which the Petrie openly
condemns as impolitic.
