THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1851.

propositions for the revision of the constitution.
have already given an outline of the course proposed
by the committee. M. Morin declared that as this
course was equivalent to a rejection of his motion, he
I withdrew it, iu order to avoid raising any division in
the majority.
Art. I, providing that all motions for revision shall
be submitted to a committee, which shall prepare its
report within a month, was then adopted.
The clause fixing the appointment of the committee
in the bureaux at eight days after the presentation
of the first motion was withdrawn. M. Santayra
proposed two days. This, and other amendments of
the same class, having been rejected, the article was
adopted without indication of the deltic.
Ail. 2 iiros;d?, that the rejected proposition
cannot be renewed until the expiration of three
months from the rejection. M. Jules Fevre
Imoved an amendment declaring that after re-
jection motions for the incision cannot be brought
thrward again. In develop:ig this amendment,
which he considered in conformity with the spirit of
the I I Ith article of the constitution, he entered into
a short discourse upon the general question, and re-
presented the majonty being really as divided as
passible for all practical constructive purposes, and
united only to ruiso agitation with a view of extin-
guishing the republic. M. 3loulin answered
Jules Fevre, and shoved that his amendment
was contrary to the constitution. The amendment
was put to tlie vote; rtjected by a large majority.. M.
Dufour° voted with the majority, General Ca% ignac
on the opposite side. It was insinuated by the
majority that the Lett did not venture to demlind a
ballot, lest the number of the minority should be
found below the number of ISS, necessary to prevent
the revision. _ _

and bind themselves to continue the deliberations without
delay in the Federal Assembly on the basis of the materials
obtained in the present conferences. The whole of the go-
vernments mere especially ackaowl,shee that they consider
those propositions of the first cananitssion which refer to I
the acceleration of the mole in which the bu-ir.ess of the
Federal Assembly is comlueted, and to the k: eying in rot- l
dinar a body- of troops at the disposal of the Diet, to
be imperatively railed for at the present moment, and I
until the revision of the setamling orders' of the Diet and
of the military constitution !shall have been completed.
'they bind themselves, therefore, is direct their represents
lives in the Diet to give an unqualified assent to these pro-
positions the moment they are brought before that Assem-
bly in the only legal manner iu which its decision can be
appealed to."
I have translated this extract from the official protocol, to
show how many words tie German diplomatists use, nut to
I hide, but to show that they have done nothing. The only
result of the Dresden conferences is the general sanction to
an acceleration of the busier,' forms, and to the main-
teaance on a war footing of a body of troops, the nu:nbc:s
of wh'.ch are not specially defined.
General ltochow brings iron WR:saw the assurance that
the utmost cordiality, nay, affection, has characterised the
meeting and conferences of the Emperor of Idusda and the
King of Prussia. The Litter has been pardoned for
his erratic movements of 1848 and 1811, and in the joyfal
prospect of this pardon he appears to have rushed to War
saw, forgetting altogefaer the indignant refusal of the Czar
to meet him in the course of the past year. Very little,
attention is understood to have been paid to the internal,
affairs of Germany at Warsaw. The Emperor of Massie !
knows well the apathy of the German people and
the enormous military force which the governments I
possess. He fears France and the consequences of a rove-
lutionary movement in that country upon Germany. To
prevent any evil conserptences, the monarchs have discussed
what measures they ought to take. Of this there can be
ao doubt; but I an informed that they have deter-
mined (very wi.zly J neat to atsume the rigrres-
biVO. The ruateurs whi,:a are frightening 11 rho
are partly founded in fact, but there is uo cause for i erne-
Mate fear. The Dict here must decide everything, and
from the proposals of the Austrian and Prussian plenipo-
tentiaries enough must transpire to give a clue to their aim.
Lord Cowley has no yet presented his credentials to the
Diet, fur the very good reason that they have not yet ar-
rived. Lord Palmerston has waited for the official iatima-
mation that the work .if restoration was complete before
accrediting an ambassador to it. The despatches containing
the credentials are expected to-day, when the usual cou-
rier from London arrives.

After the I.6m:ion of amendments moved by
Sautavra and Bouhier l'Eeluse, 31. Vesin moved
an amendment in favour of making a speedy report
on the petitions in favour of revision. Ile remiaded
the house of the frauds which had been detected on
the occasion of the petitions against electoral reform,
and wished that the house should be enlightened as
to the nature of the present pioitions. His amend-
ment having been rejected, the ensemble of the protect
was put to the vote, and carried by a large majority.
The resolutions of the committee on the majority.
Bill, with regard to the qualification of a muni-
cipal elector, present the must definite shape of those
[Worms which appear to a great portion of the As-1
setnbly desirable mitigations of the law of May 31.
Yon will have seen Irma a previous letter, that the
base of the franchise proposed in regard to muni-
cipal elections, is the fact of having drawn for the
conscription combined with continued residency in
the same commune. It scents to be generally ad-
mitted that, setting aside party feeling, a majority
of opinions in the chamber ts in favour of extending
the same conditions of suffrage to political elections.
Supposing this to be true, it seems singular not only
that the present cabinet should, through the organ
of 31. Haroche, have taken such an emphatic pledge
to maintain the law of May; but also that the
cabinet council at which this resolution was taken,
should have been presided over by Louis Napoleon.
To clear up this mystery it is necessary to explain
that the law of May affords, at present, the chief tie
between the government and its most powerful ad-
herents, as the Duke de Broglie and his friends, in
the parliament; and to rally the support of this
party on the subject of revision, a guarantee must be
given to them that an enactment, which they regird
as a bulwark of their influence, will not be meddled
with. Another circumstance of great importance

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIPS EUROPA
AM) CM OF GLASGOW.

The City of Glasgow steam-ship (Captain Leitch)
arrived at 'Liverpool on Saturday morning (as an-
nounced in part of that day's impression of the
Express), after a run of 'al days. She left the Dela-
ware on the 13th ult., with above 130 passengers,
and 110,000 dole. on freight.
Yesterday forenoon the British and North Ameri-
can Royal Mail steam-ship Fannin, Captain Lott,
arrived at the same port from New York direct, with
dates trout the United States to the 2lst ult., 113
passengem, and 116,090,. in specie.
Intelligence from Queenstown (Ireland) mentions
that the United States steam-ship Lafayette, which
has been anxiously looked for here for some days
I past, has put into that port.
The Hermann arrived at Southampton yesterday.
She left New York on the 17th May, and brought
one !Altered passengers, and thirteen thousand dol-
' has in specie for Havre and Bremen. She brought
alsotwelve eases of wine for Prince Albert.

must not be lost sight of. The -7th article of the
constitution provides, that if none of the candidates
for the presidency obtain the absolute majority of
expressed suffrages, and at least two millions of
votes, the election of the President devolves upon'
the National Assembly, who will proceed to de-
ride by an absolute majority of votes amueg
the five candidates standing at the head of the pelL
Now as the number of inscribed electors has beets re-
duced by three millions, it seems highly probable
that the most favoured candidate will nut obtain two
millions; it is still more probable that he will not
obtain the absolute majority. The definitive election
is therefore likely to devolve on the Assembly.
Hence the necessity which exists for Louis Napoleon
of cultivating the good-will of his must powerful in-
tercessors with the parliament ; and of sacrificing
his own personal objections to the law of
May to the interests of the party led by the
Duke de Broglie. Another eventuality against
which the ElysCe has to provide is the
success of Nl.Creton's motion, which may be renewed
in six mouths from the Ist March last, that is, in the
beginning of September. So that the President has
every reason to keep well with his Orleanist fiiends.
Meanwhile it is tnonght that the adoption of the
electoral reform proposed by the committee on the
Municipal Hill would restore the franchise to a mil-
lion and a half of citizens excluded by the law of
May.

The United States steam-ship Franklin arrived
from Southampton ut New York on the 19th ult., at
9 o'clock, morning.
The British and North American Royal Mail
Ateam-ship Africa arrived on the 21st, at 9 a.m.,
from I.i%erpoul, which port she left ou the 10th ult.
for Now York.

It would appear front the advices now received that
tho expedition to Cuba has not been abandoned,
one of the United States revenue cutters having
lately captured thirty of the desperadoes off the
coast of Georgia ; Florida, however, seems to be the
locality where the invaders have their rendezvous.
And above 6,000 of them are said to be enlisted. The
proclamation, or manifesto, of the American Presi-
dent had contributed greatly to lessen the apprehen-
sion of a descent at Havannah. And the chief ports
and cities of the island had forwarded to the Governor-
General addresses of loyalty and confidence. His
excellency was, however, continuing his measures of
precaution, and had issued a proclamation to the
army, instructing them to show no mercy to the
" pirates" who were led on by a " traitor to his own
country," and one " without a flag" to support him.
An English war-steamer, the Inflexible, has arrived
at llavanwth, and was to remain there for some time.
The Spanish war-steamer liazan had also arrived
with additional troops.
The President's tour to the Erie Railroad, and the
opening of that line of traffic, form prominent fea-
tures in the week's advices. The Ih•esident, who
was accomanied by the Hon. D. Webster and many
of the leading men of the United States, had been
received everywhere with demonstrations of enthu-
siasm and regard.
filminess throughout the States was in general in
a fair condition, but in the article cotton a further
decline was reported, which must have a tendency to
depreciate prices on this side, especially as the re-
ported arrivals to the sea-board were more extensive
than had been expected.
Jenny Lind intends making Brooklyn her resi-
dence fur the ensuing three months. It is understood

I'ARIS, SUNDAY EvZNINO.
Intelligence from Tonnerre up to a quarter before
12 oclock to-day states the following:
"We have just a.ssistcd at one of the most magni-
ficent receptions yet g,iven to the President. lie
was received by the whole of the authorities
and the clergy, and was saluted with the
most lively acclamations of Vive Napoleon' by the
populace, who had assembled in a radius of twenty
leagues. The President was accompanied by MM.
Dupin, Boulby de In Meurthe. the Ministers of the
Interior, of Public Works, and of War. lle re-
ceived at the railway all the deputies and the autho-
rities. and afterwards reviewed the National Guard,
amidst enthusiastic cries of ' Vive Napoleon," Vive

splendid collation."

19,729.

The Marquis of \llama has been named President

The English ambassador, Sir henry Bulwcr, de-
livered an animated address at a recent meeting of
the Maryland Historical Association in Baltimore,
in which lit• lauded the " Baltimore clippers" and the
" Baltimore beauties," who now wear "three of the
proudest tszonets in the British peerage." Sir Henry
is becoming a great favourite with the American
citizens, the lower classes of the Irish excepted.
The following is an extract from a popular American
journal in reference to the speech :
Sir Henry presents in the speeches he makes a very novel
and a very remarkable spectacle for a British minister, but it
is one whir', we must say, in the main meets our approba-
tion It is so odd a thing to hear a Briton in authority
speaking well of us and ours, that the flattery is sweet, and
we appreciate it if for no other reason than this, that it
shows we are now deemed worth flattering and worth court-
ing as one of the great nations of the earth. Speaking of
the "glorious mission" with which ho was trusted to the
United States, and his feelings on landing from the ship on
the banks of the Potomac, he says:—" I adjured the spirit
of the great American republican (General Washington, at
Mount Vernon), whom one of his biographers has described
as pre-eminoitly the English gentleman—(cheer)—to bleu
the humble endeavour of one of England's sons, who came
to that spot with the earnest desire to reconcile the children
of those who fought at Trenton or Yorktown to that old
country in which are still to be found the tombs and tro-
phies of their early fathers." (Cheers.) Again he says :
" It did seem to me that the United States of America did
not present a theatre for diplomacy of red tape (cheers and
laughter), fur the diploma of that school which never
writes but in cypher (laughter; which, as 2.1. de Talky-
rand ha. said, always speaks in the language best adapted
to the thoughts. (Cheers.) I thought that you Americans
were a people who would understand and appreciate the
man who stepped out front the dark covert of official re-
serve, and stood side by side with you on the plain broad
platform of social intercounic." (Cheers.)
The editor remarks further—
The diplomacy of the British minister is certainly in a
new school, but it is a school as certainly that suits the cha-
racter of our people better than any other in which Euro-
pean diplomatists have studied.

The El Dorado had arrived at New York, with
fifteen days' later news from the gold regions, and
reported nearly two millions of gold dust en route
from California.

The intelligence from San Francisco by this arrival
is to the 15th of April. During the past week
additional arrivals of gold dust had been _ reported,
and fully two and a half millions of dollars had either
arrived at, or were on their way to North Ameri-
can ports. The commercial accounts from California
are highly encouraging. Rain, which had long been
desired, had fallen, and proved advantageous to
mining operations ; and the steamer Panama is re-
ported to have brought down from San Francisco gold
dust to the amount of a million of dollars. The
social, political, and financial condition of California
appears to be in about the same state as by previous
advices. Now mines have been diaoovered in various

The election for governor and members of the
legislature is exciting great interest in Texas. A
large number of candidates are iu the field. Un-
usual importance is attached to the election. as the
disposition of the sum of 1000,000 dots. received
from the general government will be in the hands of
the successful candidates. A colony on the Fourier
system has been established in the vicinity of Vic-
toria, by Gcn. John 1). Wilkins, a philanthropic and
wealthy planter of Louisiana. The establishment is
under the superintendence of a German, who is said
to be a man of education and intelligence. Every
member contributes 100 dots. on his admission to the
colony, and participates in the avails of the general
industry in proportion to his labour and services. A •
spirit of agricultural improvement and enterprise is
prevalent on the Brazos River. Many large planta-
tions have been opened, lands are in demand, :ond
important internal improvements are in contempla-
tion. The uceounts from every part of the State are
favourable as regards the state of the crops, both of
cotton and corn. Some damage, however, has been
experienced by the overflow of the Brazos, but no
serious consequences are anticipated. The episcopal
convention fur the diocese of Texas commenced its
session in Galveston on the Ist inst. A large num-
ber of delegates from the interior were present.
The census returns from all but ten counties in tho
state have been completed. The total white popu-
lation amounts to about 165,000, with 620100 slaves.,
The population thus entitled to representation in
Congress secures two menixors to the House of
Representatives.

INDIA.
THE OVERLAND MAIL.

By our usual express in advance of the mail we
have the despatches and papers from Bombay of the
2nd of March, and Calcutta the 23rd of April.
Our correspondent writes us follows :
BOMBAY, MAT 3.
Lord Falkland, accompanied by his staff, returned
to the presidency from the Maliabuleshwar Hills on
the 26th ult. The lion. Mr. Bell was sworn in on
Monday last, the 28th ult., as Fourth Member of
Council, on the retirement of the Hon. Mr. Wil-
loughbv. Mr. Bell is one of the moat distinguished
judicial officers of the Company on the establishment
of this presidency, and his eminent qualifications in
that branch of the service will be of much account at
the Council Board. Mr. Willoughby has resigned
the service from the Ist instant, and returns
to England by the steamer which leaves to-day,
after an uninterrupted sojourn in this country of
thirty-two years. Ile has during this long period
sensed in various parts Of the Presalency, but chiefly
in Guaerat and liattywar. In his departure this
country will lose one of the mast able. upright, and
intelligent public men that Western India could
boast of for a long series of years past. Mr. Wil-
loughby arrived in Ilombar in February, 1819, and
was soon afterwards employed in the political de-
partment, in consequence of the high testimoni di he
had brought from the college at Ifaileybury. Ile
has been attached to this branch of the public ser-
vice during the whole of hi.: long career, but his
brightest laurels were Tethered in liattywar, where
he seised for several years as political agent. An
article in the lionoloty Times of the 3oth ult. con-
tains a well-deserved eulogium of this gentlem:n
in connexion with his proceedings for the suppression
of the crime of infanticide. in Kattywar.
It has been derided at a' meeting of Mr. Wil-
laugh n friends, which was held a few days ago in
the 'fowii Hall, to open a subscription for the com-
memoration of his Hanle in this presidency, in con-1
nexion with the cause of native enlightenment and
improvement, the aunts so collected to be appropri-
ated to the establishment of a fund for the improve.
ment of vernacular literature, and a portion lair the
education of native females.

The principal event of the fortnight is the acquittal
of Latta Jute° Pernand, the great commissariat con-
tractor in Bengal, who, having supplied our armies
in the field from the period of our invasion uf
Alighaitistan anvil to the close of the last I'unjaub
war, has claimd from the government the payment
of the sum of 37 laklis of rupees (370,000/.), in which
be says they are indebted to him. Tlw government,
on the other baud, mewed him of enormous frauds
In the provision of cattle, &c., and having caused him
to be tried before the Judge of Agm and a pun-
chayet, or jury, compuned of four Eurasians and one
Mode°, the proceedings resulted in his acquittal.
There continue to be wotts slight disturbances on
the l'eshawur frontier, but not of any importance.
The l'utijaub generally is quiet, and the spnng crops
abundant.
The Uovernor-General was expected at Secalkote
on the 15th April, and he would, it was expected,
push on to Siatla as quietly us /useable, no the hot
we ather had set iu and his health was again
failing.
There has Leen another case of ship bunting at
Calcutta, attended with a dreadful sacrifice of imam'
life. The country ship Kurramuny, procx-eding down
the river, bound to Mauritius with upwnribt of 330
Coolie emigrants on board, was burnt to the water's
edge on the night of the Gth ult., when oft Kedgeree.
The captain (Hogg), the chief mate, and the pilot,
together with about one-half of the crew, and a few
of the emigrants, have alone been saved. Upwards of
3011 unfortunate people perished by drowning and
in the thanes. There seems to be no doubt that this
was the work of incendiaries. Thu following is
Captain Hogg's account of this awful catastrophe :
o describe the scene of last night in the total destruct...l
of the ship Kurrtmany by tire, below Kedireree, quite sur-
passess the power of language. But, it being hie:unbent on
me to make a statement of such feet,. so 1 am able to relate
connected with the catastrophe, I lose no time in forward-
ing Ilk 1W to you. Having ...tired at an early hour I was
awoke by Mr. Porter (the pilot in charge of th • vessel) with
the atom of tire about 10 p m. The alarm was tir•t raised by
some ot the emigrants. I hastened on deck, but my way
forward was so obstructed by the unfortunate people
that I found it very difficult to force a pamag,
to the fore pert of the ship. llow.-ver, before I
got to the fore hatch, the deck was so enve-
loped with the dens:. smoke that emerged from the
fore scuttle that I could see nothing before no, and had to
rope my way tothe birecastle. lu vain I sang out fur All
hands [the ship's compsany), in vain I called uut for eyrong
and tindals, in vain for buckets and water. The chin(
officer WAs at this time between decks, but was at lost driven
up, and r ith Mr. Porter and the second odic. r of the ship,
one limbs!, and five or sit duos-m, got forward on the top-
gallant forecastle, and at this instant the Homes burst out of
the fore scuttle and fore hatch with inconceivable fury, and
the ship riding head to wind with a fresh bre. or from the
soutliwool, almost as quick as thought the whole deck,
teddy robins and all, were enveloped in llama '. The emi-
grants Riving all mustered on the poop, they an this stoical
utter confusion got into the quarter-hoots, which broke
down with the immense weight, and it is believed that all
who were not precipitant into the sea, in this wily,
;reaped overboard—while we forward could do nothing
towards the safety of ourselves or others. but guild
mad welch the devouring element working its way towards
us, masts, rigging, and all on Me, and as it approached us
we retreated on to the bowsprit and jib-bourn, but having
cut all the bead stays to prevent the fin...mast falling and
effecting our immediate destruction, the jib-boom, with
several persons on it, broke uff by the bowsprit cap, but
being connected to the midp by all the rigging belonging to
it, it still hung under the boles ; we who were ou the bow-
sprit remained there till driven off it by the intense heat ;
we then descended into the sea, and supported ourselves on
the broken jiloboom, our only home of being saved were
through lie mercy of tied and the assistance the steamer
might lie old to afford W.. !longing on under the bows
we saw the starboard chain by which the ship was
riding at the time, rut out in a way which cousin ed
me that it must have been unshackled preparatory to
the event. The ship then drilled fur some miles, we
still hanging on, witnes.ing the consumption of hull,
spare, Ac., uutil the larboard anchor dropped from the
bows (the chain being red hot), this brought the ship up.
By this time the steamers Rattler and Union hod anchored
chow to the wreck, vend dspatched their boots with all pos.
Bible b ste to our assistance. by which means we, Mr. Per.
ter (pilot in charge), Mr. 'Eunice, chief "Meer, myself and
six laseirs were rescued from our awful saltation. Mr.
Andrews, 2nd officer, hoeing let go his hold from utter
exhaustion, before the boats reached us, he sank and was
seen no more. Mr. Clarke (leadsman), Nacodo of the ship,
the 3rd odit•er and butter, I did not see alter the alann of
tire was given. About 1 a.m. this morning we got 1111 booed
the steamer Rattler, and I may add,Mr.Porter and myself,
as we came into the world. About five o'clock we heard
tries fur help from sonic of the unfortunates ; a bout was
immediotely lowered in search of them, and the steamer
got wider weigh and succeeded in picking up five indi-
vidu.as. After daylight several others wen picked up. some
on bits of wood, oott6heer. no nothing at all. The ship !loyal
Albert, toe steamer Union, and the ship Futto Moubaruck
all had boots down to assist, all of which vessels I sun grate-
ful to acknowledge rendered every assistance in their power.
In the hank,. we picked tip several in the lower parts of
Lloyd's Channel ; one of them was the serang of the ship,
whom I hail not see o A(.lr the alarm of tire was given.
About 110011, in coming Up the riser with the Futta 3lou-
baniek in tow, a numb. r 14 the unfortunate men were dee-
cried duetting on portion. of the wreck in the upper port of
laud Point Uhounel. 'f he ship was limn- hately cast
off and boats sent to remue the auff.rers, who were in
number' 3, and up to the present moment (S p.m.) out of
3dl emi ;rants and 111 of the crew, all who hate been res-
cued are Mr. Porter, the pilot, Mr. Turner, chief offlecr.
myself, 66 emigrants, the naive doctor and 29 of the
crew—in all amounting to 99. What has become of the '
other and Mr. Clark and his servant, God alone
knows. It Is but just for me to add that every praise
is due to the command. et of the Bottler mid
Union, as also to those of the othe r ships b..fore
mention, l, who afforded every assistance ho their power.
I should he doing an injustice to my ollicer,, Mr. Turner,
obi, I. and Mr. Andrk w, second. if I were to pass unnoticed
their intrepid endeavour to render assistance to the unfor•
tunate people who were jumping overboard in all direc-
tions, these Seen apparently disregarding their own
safety till all service to others WAS impassible. I remained
aft throwing overboard hencoops and all other moveable
artieh, they got bold of till all had disappeared, they then
worked their way forward on the outside of the ship.
The chief Alter inform, d me that Mr. Clark (the leads-
mau) assisted in hearing the hencoops overboard, but I re-
gret to say that gentleman was not seen afterwards.
The launch of a new steamer, called the Zenobia,
took place at Bombay on the Ist inst., in presence of
a numerous concourse of spectators. 'flie following
arc her principal dimensions:—Length between'
perpendiculars, 192 R. 8 in.; length from the figure'
head to tatfrail, 226 ft. 6 in.; length on deck, 206 ft.;
breadth moulded, 32 ft. 2 iu.; breadth extreme, I
33 ft. ; breadth of paddle-boxes, 33 ft. ; depth in hold, '
2111. 3 in.; horse power, 2:0; burthen in tons,
1,1103. This vessel has been built for the East India
Company, and is to be employed in the conveyance of
the mails between this and Suez: but her steam power
kingless by one half than it should be, she will no
doubt prove altogether too "slow" for the present
times. The ways of the East India Company are,
indeed, inscrutable. Here are they with the ex-

ample of Canard's vessels and these of the P. and 0.
Company before their eyes, deliberately building the
most useless class of vessels for the packet service,
that can well be conceived. Just fancy a thousand
ton steamer, having only 270 horse-power, being sent
against the S.W. monsoon in July ! Why, the
chances are, that she will either have to put back, or
that she will make no mote than three or four miles
en hour, and wear herself out in four or five years
without any advantage to the public.
I omitted to mention above that Mr. E. 11. Towns-
end, of the Bombay Civil Service, has resigned the
service, and returns home by the steamer which
leaves to-day. Mr. Townsend twice filled the office
of secretary to government; was for some time col-
lector of Belgaum ; and for the last five years bus
been revenue commissioner of the southern division.
His departure from amongst us will be deeply re-
gretted by all classes. lie is a man of the most
active benevolence; and we lose in him one of the
ablest men and moat zealous promoters of native
improvement which this country can boast of.
The daily papers of yesterday announce the death,
from small pox, of Adam Campbell, Esq., acting
sub-collector of Nassick. which event occurred ut
that place on the 20th ultimo.
