SPAIN.

TLe Madrid Gazette of the 10th inst. publishes
the speech of Mr. Buchanan, the new British Minis-
ter, on presenting bis credentials', as follows :
"Madam,—the letter of the Queen, my Sovereign,
whiA I bare the honour to present to your Majesty, ac-
credits me as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary to this Court. Obeying its command I profit
of the first opportunity given by your Majesty to express
the prof.und interest her Britannic Majesty takes in the
prosperity of your Majesty and of the Spanish nation.
In congratulating your Majesty on the enthusiastic de-
monstrations of loyalty and affection with which you
were everywhere received during the journey you
have just made I merely anticipate the wish of her
British Majesty. During my stay in the capital of
your Majesty it will be my agreeable duty, madam, to
endeavour to draw closer the bonds which have so long
and so honourably united the people of Great Britain
and Spain. Profoundly penetrated with the importance
of this commission, and of the high honour conferred
on me, I doubt not that I shall fulfil them to the satis-
faction of the Qucen my sovereign if I have the happi-
ness to merit the benevolent suffrage of your Majesty., '

The Queen replied in the most gracious terms,
and Mr. Buchanan presented his Tatters to the
Ling.

SARDINIA.

In the sitting of the 16th of the Chamber of De-
puties, Count Alfieri put a question to Count de
Cavour, with a view to obtaining further informa-
tion respecting the Cagliari. Count de Cavour re-
plied as folio

" I have little to add to the let ter of Commander Carafe
which the Neapolitan Government hem published at'
Naples. That document was also communicated to our
Chargé d'Affaires, with an intimation that the crew of
the Cagliari had been set at liberty, and the vessel itself
placed at Mr. Lyon's disposal. As regards the
negotiations, since most of the dccuments are de-
spatches exchanged between the Cabinet of Turin
and that of London, the Government wishes first to
consult the latter. It would be hardly proper, after
having received a service from England, to publish
such documents without her consent. From a de-
spatch which we have received from London, it
would appear that the British Government intends
to take the initiative in their publication, in which
case we shall not fail to -publish them also. I do
not think it expedient to enter into other particu-
lars, and I would request the hon. member not to move,
as was his intention, for a congratulatory manifestation
on the part of the Chamber, a step which I think hardly
called for in the present instance. The Cabinet is suffi-
ciently rewarded by the support it receives from the
Chamber as regards its foreign policy."

The subject then dropped, the Chamber proceed-
ing to discuss the budget of expenses. That of
foreign affairs was voted, and the debate on that
of public instruction commence.

ARRIVAL OF THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS,

The Royal Mail Company's steamship Cambria,
Capt. Jas. Anderson, arrived at Southampton yes-
with the mails from the A.ustra-
terday, at 5 p.m.,
lian and New Zealand colonies, which, according
to the practice adopted on this liue, were all sorted
by the officials of the Post-office, ready for imme-
diate delivery at their respective destinations.
Throughout the voyage the Cambria has had
variable winds, with moderate weather.. She left
Alexandria on the Bth inst., and Malta on the
11th inst.

This steamer brings 98 passengers (54 first-class,
4 second, and 40 children and servants), among
whem are Lady Young, Major Moore, Col. Russell,
lady, and family.

Her dates are Sydney, April 12 ; Melbourne,
16 ; King George's Sound, April 22 ; Ceylon,
10 ; Aden, May 27 ; and Suez, June 7.
The freight of the Cambria consists of 10 boxes
of specie, value 53,000/., and 15,420 ounces of
gold, value 62,6201., and a general cargo, consist-
ing of 223 packages, including'parcels.
Her Majesty's ship the Medina was at Alex-
andria; the British fleet cruising outside Malta.
The Cambria was in company with her Majesty's
troop ship Urgent for two days ; parted company
at Gibraltar. Off Burlings the Cambria, passed
screw steamer Meander. Off Lisbon she
passed the steam, ship Damascus.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.
LIVERPOOL, StYNDAT,

At an early hour this morning the Cunard royal
mail steam ship Africa, Capt. Neil Shannon, with
the usual mails from the United States, arrived in
t'le Mersey. She sailed from New York on the 9th
inst., and has brought, besides the mails, 156 pas-
sengers and 12,000 doll in specie. The Africa was
detained at the bar from 11 o'clock last night.
The screw steam ship Kangaroo, from hence,
arrived from New York on the morning of the 9th.
On the same day the royal mail steam ship Asia was
passed inward bound ; on the 16th, at 8 a.m.,
passed the royal mail steam ship Persia, in lat.
55.25 N., long. 32.15 W. ; and on the 18th, the
mail steamer Anglo-Saxon (supposed) hence for
Q,iebec.

The chief feature is of course the right of search.
The New York Herald of the 9th publishes a report
from Washington that the British Minister has re-
ceived a despatch of a chart cter that will lead to the
cessation of the outrages of the British cruisers upon
American merchantmen. The same journal says :--•

" The conduct of the British cruisers in the
Cuban ports has caused the Captain General to
issue orders to the Spanish squadron to prevent
vic.lations of the sovereignty of Spain. But it ap-
pears the Spanish men-of-war are trying their hands
at this searching business. The brig Tanaro reports
that when off that port she was boarded by an
officer from a Spanish vessel of war, who demanded
the brig's:papers, which were soown to him, and
after examining them he departed."
Both Houses of Congress have agreed to extend
the present session of Congress, but have not
decided as to the precise day for the final adjourn-
ment.

In Congress, on the 7st inst., an amendment
giving the President power to issue letters of
marque in certain cases was nj oct:.d by a vote of
40 to six. The various propositions offered led to
a renewal of the discussion of the recent British '
outrages in the gulf. From the tone of the debate
it is evident that, with ono or two exceptions, the
members of the Senate are disinclined to adopt any
measure that will precipitate an issue with Great
Britain on the question.
A despatch from St. Louis states that by an
arrival at Leavenworth news has been received from
Camp Scott to the Bth ult., two days later than pre-
vious accounts. The person who arrived stated that
no despatches had reached the camp from Gover-
nor Cumming ; but this is undoubtedly a mistake,
as an officer of the army, writing on the 6th ult.,
states that an express from the Governor bad just _
arrived at the camp with intelligence that Gover-
nor Cumming had started from Salt Lake City for
the southren portion of Utah. The Independence,
Mo., correspondent of the St. Louis Republican,
writing on the 4th instant, says the Salt Lake
mail of April 18 had arrived there, bringing news
that an express had reached Camp Scott from
Governor Cumming, stating that he had been
well received at Salt Lake City, that Brigham
Young was willing to transfer all authority and
had enjoined his followers to recognise Cum-
ming as their future Governor and aid him in
the discharge of his duties. This intelligence is
corroborated by a letter from Salt Lake received
by a Mormon residing near Leavenworth, which
represents everything quiet in the valley. Go-
vernor Cumming was in the city, and the people
had abandoned all idea of fighting, and gone to
work on their farms. A proclamation has beet'
issued by President Buchanan indicating the
policy that is to guide the Peace Commissioners---
Messrs. Powell and M'Culloch—in their negotia-
tions with the Mormons. The President warns
the Saints to beware of the punishment which they
will receive by persisting in their treasonable course
but offers a full and free pardon to all who will
submit themselves to the authority of the Federal
Government. At last accounts the army at Camp
Scott was suffering greatly. The weather was cold
and stormy, the duties of the soldiers very harass-
ing, and the provisions rapidly diminishing, with a
certainty of a resort to mule steaks and even coarser
faro. There is, moreover, no prospect of any im-
mediate relief for them, as the supply trains have
be,ol, if not stopped entirely, as least seriously re-
tarded in their progress across the plains by heavy
snow storms and swollen streams.

The Vigilance Committee at New Orleans bas
been disbanded, but although disorganised, they
state that they are ready at any moment to carry
out their principles. The authorities had arrested a
number of the Vigilauts, but they were subse-
quent ly discharged from custody. So far as we are
advised the election passed off peaceably.
The steamship Black Warrior has arrived at New
Orleans with Havana dates to the 2d inst. Tnera
was no general news of interest. Sugar was firm at
the prices previously reported.
