An Imperial decree has been issued prolonging i
the session of the Corps Legislatif until the 30th
June. A government bill relative to the customs
was brought forward to-day in the Corps Legia-
latif. The debate upon the war budget was
continued to-day. The Patric of this evening
says :—" We believe we are in a position to state
that the majority of the guaranteeing powers are
contrary to the intervention of Turkey in the Prin-
cipalities. France, England, and Russia have
forwarded a protest against this step to Constanti-
nople."

We have received the report of the Jamaica
Commission (without the evidence), dated Spanish
Town, April 9, and a despatch of Mr. Cardwell
thereupon to Sir Henry Storks, dated yesterday,
June 18. The report occupies 41 pages, and is
signed by the three Commissioners. It is a sununary
of the principal evidence, as well as a statement of
(ream ma SPECIAL 00EBEISPONDENT.) the opinions of its authors.
