In the Congress Mr. Brown (Democrat), of Mis-
sissippi, had submitted a resolution, which was
adopted, calling on the President to communicate
a copy of the instructions to Mr. Buchanan on
"free ships makingfreegoods," and Mr. Buchanan's
letter to Lord Clarendon on the same subject.
Mr. Adams (Democrat), Michigan, had made a
speech in support of his bill proposing to extend
the term of naturalisation to 21 years and exclude
" foreign criminals and paupers from voting, in
order to prevent these and European serfs from
controlling elections, and thus perilling their
liberties."

Iu the House of Representatives the Speaker bad
informed the house that the President had not re.-
ceived any official communication from the leading
Powers of Europe on the subject of privateering.
The Anti-Fillmore American Convention at New
York had chosen a Mr. Banks, j tan., Massachusetts,
as their candidate for the Presidency, and Mr. W.
F. Johnston, of Pennsylvania, for the Vice-Presi-
dency. During the proceedings the entire New
Jersey delegation, with a few other persons, quitted
the convention, on the ground that it was becoming
too decided in its partiality to slavery extension.
They started a separate convention, and nominated
R. F. Stockton, of New Jersey, and Kenneth
Rayner, of North Carolina, as their candidate.
We have intelligence of the loss of the ship Pal-
its, Capt. Spillane, from Cork for Quebec, with 120
passengers. She sighted the coast of Cape Breton
on the morning of the 30th of May, and in the
afternoon it was discovered that the compasses
varied from one another, and the course of the
vessel was then shaped between Cape North and St.
Paul's. At 10 p.m. she struck on the breakers of
St. Paul's and bilged, the sea washing over her.
The passengers became panic-stricken, and rushed
into the boats, which sank almost immediately.
Seventy-two persons were drowned. In the morn-
ing the superintendent of the island sent off boats
and rescued the remaining passengers. A vessel
had left to convey them to Quebec.

The New Yo'rk _Herald publishes the follow-
ing :
_ _

I' There is a plan in agitation here among the Southern
members of Congress to abandon the Central American
route to the Pacific, and to acquire the cession of the
Tehuantepec route from Mexico in exchange for guaran-
teeing her territory against the threatened Spanish hosti-
lities. It is understood that Col. Robles favours the
project, Government being much concerned at the expe-
dition now fitting up in Spain. France and England
have the same claims as Spain. Intelligence from
Mexico indicates that much alarm is felt by the Govern.
ment respecting the Spanish expedition, and foreshadows
an application for the protection of the United States.
Southern members of Congress suggest the granting of
protection on the condition of a cession to us of the
Tehuantepec r,titA, with the circumjacent territ ry."
The N etv York Jouriial of Commerce states that
the America, tile searching of which vessel by a
British naval officer at Rio, on the supposition that
she was equipped as a privateer, was opposed by
the United States' Commodore, and which caused
a good deal of indignation to be expressed before
the conclusion of the war with Russia, was, on her
arrival, reported in the •-'an Francisco Shipping
List as Russian prop arty. On leaving Rio the
United States' Commodore towed the America
above 100 miles on her course, so as to protect her
from seizure.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican,
writing from Kansas city on the 12th inst., reports
that comparative quiet reigned in the terri-
tory, the United States' troops having dis-
banded the unlawful military bodies, and in cases
where they reassembled taken their arms from
them ; con sequently there was no fighting going
ou. The New York journals contain vivid ac-
counts of the atrocities committed by both parties.
Tue latest ;advices from Nicaragua, via New Or-
leans, reprep;ents General Walker as in the same
position. Nothing about fighting, but much sick-
ness among his troops. There was a rumour that a
revolution haJ broken out in Costa Rica. A very
disastrous mum iclation had occurred at Jacmel.
From Berm uda we learn that her Majesty's
steamer Malacca, from Jamaica, arrived there on
the sth inst., with 35 cases of yellow fever on board.
She had already- lost 11 men during the passage,
but no new case had broken out for 48 hours pre-
vious to her arri Pal at Bermuda. Her Majesty's
steamer Buzzard had also arrived at Bermuda, on
the same day fro m St. Thomas's. She was to
leave in a few dayl for England.
Advices from IT; vvannah stato that tho health of
the city was good. Sugar had advanced a quarter
to half a real. Latc►v advices had been received
from Mexico via ilavunnah. The struggle in the
Assembly against the: Government at Comonfort
had terminated in favour of the latter. General
Alvarez had resigned .his seat and retired from the
city in disgust. The Sloanish Minister had reached
the city of Mexico, butt had not been recognised,
and would not be recognised, it was said, while
the Spanish fleet mairat aired its threatening atti-
tude in the harbour of Vera Cruz.

As the English steamer left Vera Cruz severa,
Spanish war vessels wore entering the offing.

SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 23.

By the Ilitited States' mail steam-ship Washing-
ton, Captain. Cavendy, which arrived off Cowes
this morning en route from New York to Bremen,
we receive irrtelligence to the 14th inst.
The Washington brings 192 passengers, about
90,000 dols. in specie, and the usual cargo. On
the 19th inst., in lat. 42 10, long. 48 30, she ex-
changed signals with the ship Quebec, bound to
Quebec ; 20th, in lat. 49 30, long. 16 53, spoke the
American ship Sandbach, bound to the eastward ;
also, in lat. 49 30, long. 11 47, spoke the Dutch
bark Rode Rood, or Red Rose, 131 days from the
Sandwich Islands : and in ln.f de gO, long. 10 13,
exchanged signals with the American ship Sciola
bound east.

The mail steamers Arabia and Ericsson, from
Liverpool, arrived at New York on the 13th inst.
The New York papers generally are silent on the
difficulties between England and America. The
intelligence by the Arabia and Ericsson was anxi-
ously looked for. The _Herald describes the speech
of Lord Clarendon in the House of Lords in the
debate on American affairs, which grew out of the
motion of Lord Elgin for the production of papers
relative to the despatch of troops to the British
North American provinces, as " interesting and
highly significant," and says :

" The general tone of the discussion evinces the most
friendly feelings towards the United States. Julging,
from the language u ed, no party in England is desirous
of courting difficultiei with us, and least of all Lird
Clarendon. His lordship is, in fact, so anxious to settle
the matters at issue that he expresses himself willing to
meet Mr. Marcy on sonie island half way between the
two countries fortheir adjustment. I'iiis is all very plea
sant and very satisfactory so far as it goes ; but we find
in the same speech certain other declarations which,
coupled with the event which has since reached the
knowledge of his lordship—the disniksal of Mr. Cramp•
tan—gives an entirely different wpect to the conclusions
which at first sight we might be disposed to draw from
it. Lord Clarendon's friendly tone and jocose propibsi-
tion of a new Tilsit arrangement between himself and Mr.
Marcy were based, as will be seen, on the conviction
that England had done everything that could be reason
ably expected of her to satisfy the wounded pride of the
United States. 'There is nothing,' be says, `which could
be expected from one nation towards another, from one
Government towards another, from one gentleman to-
wards another, that we have not done or offered to do,
in order to afford reparation to the United States for any
offence, however unintentional on our part. which they
can conceive has been committed.' We apprehend that
the plausible and ingenious letter of explanationst with
which Mr. Marcy accompanied Mr. Crampton g dismissal
will not alter any of the convictions here expressed. It
must certainly be said of the atonement offered ny the
British Cabinet that it went to the very verge of self-hu-
miliation, and although it fell short of the requirements
of our Government, there are not a few among us who
think that to demand more was both unreasonable and
ungenerous. Of the impression prevailing in England as
to the ample character of this apology his lordship Pays :
As far as I have been able to ascertain what are the
Impressions which that despatch has produced in
country I think the general opinion is that we have offered
a complete satisfaction to the Government of the -Met-
ed States.' And, as if to define the course which the
Cabinet would feel bound to pursue in theevent of the
