President Johnson has sent a message to the
Senate vetoing the Civil Rights Bill. He argues
that it is unconstitutional, unnecessary, and ano-
malous in its character, and would override the
rights et the States as reserved in their legislatures
and judicial tribunals. He adds : " The grave
question presents itself whether, when eleven States
are not represented in Congress, it is sound
policy to make the whole coloured population
and ogler excepted elegies citizens of the United
States. Can it reasonably be supposed
that four millions of negroes, just emerged
from slavery, posses@ the necessary qualifications
entitling them to all the privileges of citizenship,
whilst Intelligent foreigners undergo five years' pro-
bation before becoming citizens ? The details of
the bill are fraught with evil. The distinction of
race and colour is made to operate in favour of the
coloured against the white race. The general
government, by this bill, absorbs and assumes
powers which, if acquiesced in, would destroy the
Federative system of limited powers, and break down
the barriers preserving the rights of the States ; it is
i another stride towards centralisation and the con-
centration of the legislative power in the national
government. The tendency of the bill is to resus-
citate the spirit of rebellion, and arrest the progress
of those influences which are drawing more closely
round the States the bonds of union and peace. I
fully recognise the obligation to defend and protect
the negroes, wherever and whenever necessary, to
the full extent of the constitution, and will co-
operate with Congress in any measures necessary
for the preservation of the civil rights of freedmen,
as well as of all persons in the United States, by
judicial process and under equal and impartial
laws, conformably with the constitution."
It is believed in Washington that the Senate will
pass the Civil Rights Bill over the President's
veto, but that the bill will be loin in the House of
Representatives.
The Senate has decided that Mr. Stockton (demo-
crat), of Jersey, is not entitled to his seat.
Senator Foote, of Vermont, is dead.
The Canadian government have mustered out
the surplus of the volunteers, retaining 10,000 as a
ending army of observation on the frontier.

Advicee from Matamoros, dated 19th inst., state
that General Douay had defeated the liberals at
Pans, Northern Mexico. The liberals, being
afterwards reinforced, attacked the French under
Baron du Briar, who was killed. General Donay
was subsequently besieged in the church at Pares,
which he held, with only 50 men, until he was
reinforced.

the principal trades' societies of London—such as Amal-

mously : " That, in oonsequence of Lord Nacho having in
his speech in the House of Commons, on Mr. Baines's
bill for extending the borough franchise, vilified the
people in a most shameful manner, this meeting of trades'
delegates, representing 70,000 mese declare that they have
no confidence in him whatever, and they object to his
becoming the chairman of any committee whatever, in the
