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 soon 'as Kabouli Effendi received this
despatch, he sent for the members of the Provi-
sional Government, 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 was 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 thingsdn 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-
vices from. the former port, via Halifax, to thd
evening of the 14th inst. She has brought 68,054
dols. 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-
tinguishment 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. Mason, 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
1 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.
