NEW YORK, APRIL 7, Eviarnia.

The Senate has passed the Civil Rights Bill over
the President's veto by a vote of 33 to 15. It is
believed that the House of Representatives will
also pass the bill over the veto.
An animated and excited debate occurred pre-
vious to the passing of the bill. Mr. Sanlisbury
declared that its enforcement would lead to war,
bloodshed, and disunion.
The New Jersey Legislature has adjourned with-
out appointing a senator.
President Johnson has released Captain Semmes
under his original parole.
Doran Killian is reported to have left New York
with a Fenian force in order to endeavour to seize
the inland of Campo Bob,o in the Bay of Fundy,
The report is believed to be set afloat to pacify the
bondholders, who are impatient at Mahony's
inactivity. Another import, set afloat for
a similar purpose, asserts that a large fordo has set
out to attack Bermuda. Mahony has issued a cir-
cular, announcing the arrival of Stephens in Paris.
Stephens, through Mahony, informs the Fenian,
that he left the organisation in Ireland in as good
a condition as it has been since the recent Fenian
scandals in America. He left the reins of govern-
ment in competent hands during his temporary
absence. He went to Paris on important business,
and not because the enemy forced him to leave
Ireland. He would visit America to restore har-
monious councils and well-concerted 'action.
Stephen adds that he will only remain in Ame-
rica a short time. It is reported that numerous
Fenian have gone to the Canadian fisheries to en-
deavour to cause a collision between the Canadians
and Americans.
A mass meeting has been held at Washington,
emphatically endorsing President Johnson's policy.
Senator Lane has introduced resolutions in the
Senate for the admission of Southern members
upon certain conditions. He spoke in favour of
the President's policy, and declared that the Re-
publican party was crumbling to pieces. every
day's postponement of the admission of Southern
members ensured the destruction of the republican
Party.
The committee on foreign affairs have instructed
the chairman to report the resolution to send a
fleet to the fishing grounds. Mr. Seward is said to
approve the resolution, which is regarded as a pre-
cautionary measure.
General Burnaido has been elected governor of
the State of Rhode Island.
The Damascus, Cuba, and Bavaria have arrived
out.

The Upper House of the New Brunswick Parlia-

At STRB. AND PRUSSIA.
VIENNA, APRIL 17.

The Vienna papers assert that Queen Victoria
has addressed a letter to Count Mensdorff, in which
her Majesty expresses her high approval of the
attitude maintained by the Austrian government
in its dispute with Prussia.

A telegram received here from Silesia states that
the Prussian military preparations in that province
continue.

The Prussian reply to the Austrian note of the
7th inst. was delivered to-day by Baron von
Werther to the Austrian Minister for Foreign
Affairs. The note, which displays no acerbity of
tone, declines to accede to the Austrian demand
that Prussia should desist from military prepara-
tions. It points out that Austria, having been the
first to arm, should also be the first to restore her
military establishment to a peace footing.
