SERVIA.

A letter from Belgrade of the 18th gives some
details of matters which we have only briefly
announced in telegraphic despatches :
" Kabouli Effendi, the Turkish Commissioner,
yesterday received from the Porte a telegram to
the following effect The Sultan consents to the
removal of Prince Alexander and to the wishes of
the Servian nation. Prince Milosch's nomination as
Prince of Servia is confirmed by the Sultan. Ac-
cording to usual custom, Milosch ought to come
to Constantinople to receive the investiture,',but,
on account of his great age and the season of the
year, his visit will be dispensed with until the
spring. The order confirming his new dignity will
be forwarded to him by a special commissioner,
who will accompany the Prince to Belgrade. His
Majesty informs Prince Milosch that until his arri-
val in Servia he may place the Government pro-
visionally in the hands of a person on whom he can
confide. As somas Kabouli Effendi received this
despatch, he sent for the members of the Provi-
sional Goi-ernment, the Ministers, the Presidents of
the Senate, and of the Skuptchina, and communi-
cated it to them. Soon after a salute of 21 guns
was fired, announcing the confirmation of Prince
Milosch by the Porte, and bands of music, followed
by an immense number of persons, paraded the
streets. In the evening the city vas illuminated,
and the Skuptchina held a sitting, when the pre-
sident announced to the assembly what had taken
place. The assembly protested against the conduct
of the president in going to the Pacha without
their authority, and named a deputation to proceed
to the provisional government and demand that
the telegraphic despatch should be submitted to
them. The Skuptchina, it is true, rejoiced to see
Milosch confirmed by the Porte, but there are
other things in the despatch with which they were
discontented, particularly the part which states
that Milosch may temporarily confide his govern-
ment -to another person. This the Skuptchina
consider as an attack on the rights of Servia, and
requested the 'provisional government to commu-
nicate their opinion to Prince Milosch by tele-
graph. The provisional government immediately
sent a despatch to Prince Milosch, containing'
a copy of that received by Kabouli Effendi, with
the following addition The Skuptchina having
been informed that your Highness is authorised to
temporarily place your powers in the hands of a
person enjoying your confidence, declares that it
does not wish to see those powers confided to any
one except those who have been already invested
with them by the Skuptchina.' "

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

The Royal Mail steamship America, Capt. Miller,
arrived to-day at noon with the New York mails of
the 11th, Boston of the 12th, and telegraphic ad-
,ices num the former port, via Halifax, to the
evening of the 14th inst. She has brought 68,054
dors. on freight. -
The weather was very severe at New York.
A bill had been introduced into the Pennsylvania
Legislature to provide additional means for the ex-
tinpishment of the State debt by raising the rate
of discount by banks to 7 per cent., and requiring
them to pay over 1 per cent. to the Commonwealth.
The only business of interest transacted in Con-
gress was the passing by the Senate of the French
Spoliation Bill by a vote of 20 to 26.
The joint resolution, reported to the Senate by
Mr. Maim., recites that by reason of the distracted
and revolutionary condition of Mexico, of certain
of the States of Central America, and occasionally
of those in South America, the lives and property
of American citizens are subject to lawless violence,
or otherwise placed in peril ; all redress in the
usual diplomatic forms being in vain ; and, it being
the indisputable duty of the Government to protect
the lives and property of our citizens against law-
less violence, therefore it is proposed to authorise
the President to use the military and naval forces,
and Interpose in such cases where he may deem it
necessary.
The Mobile Mercury contains the statement of
Maury, the captain of the schooner Susan, which
was wrecked while on a Filibustering voyage. He
states that,:—" The Susan was driven on the Hon-
duras coast by adverse winds. On the 16th, at three
in the morning, saw breakers under her lee bow.
The helmsman mistook the order, and the Susan,
under eight knots headway, went on to a sunken
coral reef, bilged, and broke in two. The
foremast ' was cut away, and the mainmast
went by the board. The Filibusters rushed to the
boats, but were stopped by an officer with a re-
volver. At daybreak a raft was commenced, and
after six days' labour it was completed, and the
Filibusters reached a ,small island. Maury and
Anderson went to Belize in a small boat, where a
charter was arranged for the brig Kate, but Capt.

•
Goodspeed refused to sail with Filibusters. Capt.
Bates, of the American barque Honduras, offered
some •of the leaders a free passage to New York,
which they declined. Governor Seymour, hearing
of their predicament, invited Capt. Maury to call,
and asked the particulars of his voyage, and
especially what had been done with Lieutenant
Whyte. He then said if they could do uo better,
he would send them to the United States in the
6.gun steam sloop Basilisk. As they had violated
no law of England, he regarded them simply as
shipwrecked United States' citizens. He did not
inquire into their original intentions. He gave
Captain Maury one hour to decide. Governor
Seymour went himself to the reef, and told the
' boys' they were in the sacred character of guesii
and; then leaving, sent them on to Mobile. TIN'.
Mobile papers call for a demonstration in honour of
the Basilisk.". _

The Secretary of the Treasury had transmitted
to Congress the report of Professor Alexander, who
was commissioned to ascertain the relative value of
coinage of the United States and Great Britain, and
fix the relative value of the unitary coins of the two
countries. The Secretary says that the report is
not so encouraging as he had hoped, though, with
the lithited power conferred on Professor Alexander,
no 'fixed policy could have been adopted. It is for
Congress to say what additional steps are to be
taken. The British Treasury authorities recom-
mend that the United States' Government be in-
vited to indicate such a plan as may be made the
basis of further negotiations.

The intelligence from Kansas was not satisfac-
tory. A special messenger had arrived at Wash-
ington with despatches, reporting that MOntgomery,
Brown, and their partisans were determined upon
making a desperate stand. The action of the
Missouri Legislature in calling out volunteers, and
appropriating money to be used against them, bad
caused a great deal of exasperation among them,
and was likely to result in a bloody civil war. The
Kansas Legislature has as yet taken no action
in the premises, and Governor Medary made no
mention of the troubles in his Message. The Legis-
lature, has adjourned to Lawrence, with the sanc-
tion of the Governor.
The overland mail, with California dates to the
17th ult., had reached St. Louis. A large spring
had been discovered in the middle of the Colorado
desert, yielding, an abundance of water.
Both the Apache and Camanche Indians were
committing depredations on the mail stations, in
consequence of which the Government animals were
obliged to be used to carry the mail some distance.
Mexicans were also suspected of stealing mules
from the mail stations. The passengers via the
Tehuantepec route failed to make a connection in
consequence of the boisterous weather in the Gulf
of Tehuantepec.
The,revolution at the capital of Mexico, which
resulted in the overthrow of :Zuloaga, took place
on the 23d ult. General Echegaray, a partisan of
General Robles, and who had been joined by the
Constitutionalists of Jalapa and Cordova, advanced
upon the city. Zuloaga tried to compromise with
Echegaray, but failed, and was afterwards captured
and sentenced to death at Puebla, but a revolt in
the city of Mexico saved him. General Robles
had released all political prisoners, and it was sup-
posed that Juarez would be placed at the head of
the Government. All parties, including the
Liberal, were rejoicing at Vera Cruz at the turn
affairs had taken.
