BELGIUM.

The Belgian Chamber of Representatives not
being in sufficient number to sit on Mon-lay no
business could be transac!ed. On Tuesday, at the
opening of the sitting, the Minister of the Interior
said that when he had given notice of closing on
that day the discussion on charitable institutions,
which had lasted so many weeks, he was under the
impression that a house would be made on Mon-
day, so that two clear days would still be left for
hon. members to make observations or to bring
forward amendments. In order that the two
lays' debate should still subsist, he would propose
to postpone the closing of the discussion to the
orxt day (Wednesday). That course being agreed
to, several members spoke, but all on the Ministe-
rial side of the Chamber, the Opposition having
abstained from taking part in the proceedings•
The discussion was again adjourned.

followed ; he concluded by exhorting the Go-
vernment not to make any abusive use of its power,
and to pass laws not for a party but for the na-
tion. The Count de Lucena (O'Donnell) who
afterwards spoke, maintained that he had a right
to oppose the Government, as he did not approve
of its principles ; he then declared that he did not
hink he deserved reproach for sitting amongst the
Progressists, as they had aided him in preventing
the revolution from going farthek than he wished)
tddiug that he should always be ready to extend
his hand to them cordially ; and he defended himself
for having exercised a dictatorship, by saying that
,inder the circumstances it was necessary to
prevent a dissolution of society, and that be-
s'clest he had exercised it by authority of the
sovereign and on his own responsibility. The
debate was then adjourned, and a letter says that
t was resumed on the 23d, when Marshal Serrano
said that he accepted his share of responsibility

AMERICA.

LITERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.

The screw steamship Kangaroo, Capt. Jeffreif
I:elonging to the Liverpool and Philadelphia Steaur
ship Company, arrived off Holyhead at a quarter
to ten o'clock this forenoon, and in the Mersei
this afternoon, with advices from New York to the
14th inst., a date one day later from all parts of
the Western continent than that of the advices
brought by the Africa on Sunday last.
The Kangaroo did not carry a mail, but she
has on board a full cargo, nearly 300 passengerSl
and 8,000 dollars in specie.

Ti'e passage of the Kangaroo is a capital one for
a screw steamer, being under 13 days. She passed
the royal mail steamship Asia hence 88 miles 00
Sandy Hook.

Advices from Havana report that intelligenc°
had reached that city of the retreat of General
Walker from Nicaragua, and of his having taken
refuge in a British man-of-war at San Juan del
Sur.

The steamship George Law arrived at New York
on the 19th ihst. with the California, mail and ad-
vices to April 20. She brought 1,707,527 dots. in
specie, but no important political news. The Sonhern
portions of the state had suffered from rains; other-
wise the weather had been favourable for businesg
—mining as well as agriculture. The growing
crops promise to be extensive and prolific beyond
example. Markets were very dull, but hopes Of
an early recovery were entertained.

The difficulty between England and New Gra'
nada had groWn more serious. A large British
fleet had left for Carthagena to blockade the ports•
The late important intelligence from Peru is to
the effect that President Castella had left the caP
tal at the head of 2,000 troops for the south, but,
after landing, his vessel was seized by Viranco, NO°
was expected to bombard Lima and Callao. Both
cities are in danger of falling into the hands of the
revolutionists.

had again advanced, freights were dull, exchaug°
improving, and the health of the island good.

ANOTHER SUPPOSED SLAVER.—The schooner Evavge"
line, which has been the past week lying off the Bat'
tnry, is strongly suspected of having intended to go on
slave voyage to Africa. On Wednesday thernittd State
District-Attorney notified her captain of his being lit
pentad as a slaver, and gave him instructions n" "-
leave port until adequate bonded security was given tbst
she was. going on a legitimate voyage, All effort to oh'
tam Kitts aPtory security has thus far failed. Yesterday
Captain Pitman, of the Evangeline, called on gr'
Wice )n, and promised that if be would allow the vessel
to proceed to 1-,ea ,she would abandon her intended.
voyage. Ile did not deny that tho vessel had cleared
fur Africa, but rather than have her seized, or any
gation concerning her ensue, he would prefer to sell the
vessel at once. The District Attorney expressed no obi
jection to the sale of the vessel, but before such sale to?
play() he should insist, he said, that the contents of the
Schooner, which seemed to indicate her intention to go.
on a slave expedition, should be disposed of. The cap
lain gave no prop ,e as to this, and thus the matter
.
ecg.b,
stands at present. The Evangeline is a light, though
stanch schooner, of 150 tons. She was built, Prosp
Maine, in 1855, and b, en lately repaired and repainted.
