United States on the one hand, and on the other by Luxembourg, 2—Orleans and Bordeaux, 2%—Paris and
Great Britain. In order to bring about this fella- Strasbourg, 6%
tous result, it was, of course, incumbent upon both
parties to consent respectively to certain essential con-
cessions. Happily these concessions have been made
without any reservation whatever on the part of either
of the plenipotentiaries. The convention is full and
complete ; without a flaw or a hitch ; everything,
in fact, that could be reasonably desired.
England stimulates, instead of retarding, the

development of the scheme out of which the whole
of the previous misunderstanding had originated—
namely, the construction of a vast ship canal con-
necting the Pacific and the Atlantic. The United
States on the other side withdraws all its efforts to
encroach upon Musquito, acknowledging it to be
under a British protectorate ; it resigns moreover its
intention of claiming gin exclusive monopoly of ad-
vantages, or of building-up the intended line of forti-
fications. While yielding with spontaneous readi-
ness upon these several points, the two contracting
powers have decided also in like manner to co-operate
with all possible earnestness and energy in carrying
out a scheme which, once perfected, would tend to
the almost incalculable advancement of the mer-
cantile enterprise of the world, and would in-
evitably prove a step—and a gigantic step too--
in the way of securing the further civilization of
both hemispheres. How far the convention commits
the United States and Great Britain to the prosecu-
tion of the enterprise may be perceived from the
nature of the seventh article, which runs verbatim as
follows:
"It being desirable that no time should be unnecessa
rily lost in commencing and constructing the said canal,
the Governments of the United States and Great
Britain determine to give their support and encou-
ragement to such persons or company as may
first offer to commence the same with the ne-
cessary capital, with the consent of the local authorities,
and on such principles as -accord with the spirit anti
intentions of this convention; and if any persons or
company should already have with any state through
which the proposed canal may pass a contract for the
construction of such a canal as that•specified in ..thib
convention, to the stipulations of which contract neither
of the parties in the convention have any just cause to
object, and the said persons or company shall have made
preparations and expended time, money, and trouble on
the faith of such contract, it is hereby agreed that such
persons shall have a priority of claim over every other
person or company to the protection of the United
States and Great Britain, and be allowed a yesr from
the date of the exchange of the ratifications of the con-
.ention for concluding their arrangements and present-
ing evidence of sufficient capital subscribed to accom-
plish the undertaktng; it being understood that if, at the
expiration of the aforesaid periods, such persons: or com-
pany shall nut be able to commence and carry on the
projected enterprise, then the Governments of the United
States and Great Britain shall be free to afford their
protection to any persons or company that shall be pre-
pared to commence and proceed with the construction
of the canal in question."
From this it will ba perceived that the dream of
beholding a vast ship canal threading a road through
the central isthmus of the Americas is at length ac..
tually approaching its realiz4tion. To its fulfilment
the Governments at London and at Washington have
now definitively pledged themselves in a convention
which not the less reflects honour upon the ability of
Mr. CLAYTON, and upon the capacity of Sir HENZI
BULWEB, than it redounds to the glory of Lord PAL..
MERSTON as a statesman, an administrator, and a
diplomatist.

The Heruldo publishes a letter from Ceuta of the

by two pashas, one white and the other black, was
marching towards the frontier of Algeria, with hos-
tile intentions towards the French.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
Much speculation was excited by the sudden de-
parture of M. TRIERS to England for the purpose of
paying a visit to the Comte De Neurrax, his
former sovereign. The apparent cause for
this pilgrimage is the alarming state of the health of
the ex-King, and the solicitude of his old Minister
to visit him once more before the possibility of their
final separation by death. The imputed reason,
on the contrary, is said to be a wish on
the part of M. TRIERS to forward the negotiation
already commenced between the younger and the
eider branches of the Bourbon dynasty. Whether
this latter surmise be really the inducement we can
scarcely as yet understand, but it is indis-
putable that the Orleans family have of
late betrayed symptoms of a desire of reconcilia-
tion. Prior to his departure from Paris the historian
of NAPOLEON paid a visit to the PRESIDENT at the
Elysee, as if he would thereby have intimated to him
that his journey was rather sentimental than trea-
sonous. However it may be, the visit of M.
TRIERS at this particular time to the once
powerful, monarch is the subject, naturally, of many
conflicting conjectures. Upon it the Opinion Publique
observes, " This journey may have more influence on
his destiny than could reasonably be expected from
a pilgrimage merely prompted by a sentimental
fidelity." 4. TRIERS is not expected to return to
Paris before Friday; and M. GUIZOT, who left that
city fur Normandy a short time since, it is thought
will proceed forthwith to London.
Toe second sitting of the Commission entrusted
with the duty of examining into the project of a
grant to the PRESIDENT terminated yesterday. It
to besiuning to be thought that the opinion of the
majority will prove favourable to the wishes of
Louis NAPOLEON. Several of the members of the
Commission, it is said, have received urgent en-
treaties from their constituents to vote in favour of
the grant, the latter parties insisting that the grant
will be amply compensated by the minter in which
the additional sum of money will be employed---an
argument which receives some corroboration from the
following statements:—
" Before quitting St. Quentin the PRESIDENT handed
to General RoQuirr 400 f, to be distributed amongst
the small garrison of the places. There was not an
hospital nor a manufactory he visited during his late
journey where he did not leave marks of his bounty,
and a sum of 4,000 f. was also distributed by him to
the most deserving and most necessitous of the work-
ing population. It is chiefly by acts like these that
his present difficulties have been occasioned."
It was at half-past eight o'clock on Monday even-
ing that the Prince returned to his palace of the
Elysee, after his triumphal visit to St. Quentin.
On Monday a funeral service was performed at the
chapel of the Invalides in commemmoration of Mar-
shal BUGBAUD, the 10th being the first anniversary
of his death. The service was attended by the rela-
tives and comrades of the Marshal.
A circular of a most judicious character has been
addressed by the Prefect of Police to the Commis-
saries of Police of the department of the Seine,
calling their attention to the refugees in Paris, and
requesting that reports be regularly addressed to
him as to their conduct while residing on the French
territory.
The Moniteur publishes a letter from M. WAL-
LoN, a Conservative Member for the department of
the North, announcing his resignation of his seat in
the Assembly, in consequence of his having separated
from his party on an important question.
The venerable and episcopal benignity of FENBLON
would have been somewhat agitated with surprise or
indignation, could the author of." Telemachus" have

GERMANY.
Intelligence from Berlin is to the 10th inst.
Some pretended revelations of a conspiracy con-
nected with the attack on the KIM!, made by a soldier
in custody for a military offence at Potsdam, had been
proved to be mere invention or a hoax.
This hoax is somewhat snore detailed as follows
A Chaiseur of the Guard, while bt ing escorted for a
military offence. to the prison of Magdeburg, from some
that he knew of the conspiracy of which Se.lett
n motive, told the officer accompanying him
unknown motive,
was the result, adding some alarming
statements of its extent, stating even that the whsle
First Regiment of the Guard was implicated in it.
He was brought back • to Potsdam and an inquiry
commenced, which proved that the whole story was
invented.

The Kolner Zeitung has telegraphic dispatches
from Berlin, stating that after having been
confined to his bed for seventeen days,. his MA-
JESTY at 'ength so far recovered as to be
able to rise for a few hours. Still the
fatigue of getting up told on the KING'S nerves, and
the night which followed the first attempt passed less
quietly than might have been expected. The KING'S
rest was likewise disturbed in the night from the 9th
to the 10th of June, but still the wound is proceeding
favourably.

It was reported yesterday in Paris, that the result
of the ballot at Strasburg was in favour of the
Conservative candidate; and a similar rumour was
abroad in regard to the military votes for the election
of the Bas Rhin.
In illustration of this we have the following:par-
ticulars :

The Members of the Deputation to Copenhagen
were expected at Kiel on the 811. The papers ex-
press a feeling of satisfaction that their " unhappy'
negotiation, which could not have led to any good
re.ult, has been broken off; the settlement of the
question will evidently be made in Berlin, as no-
thing is expected from the reported conferences in
London, and in Copenhagen nothing is likely to be
concluded.

From Hanover we hear that the birthday of the
KING, who on the 6th instant entered his eightieth
year, was celebrated with more than ordinary re-
joicing. The number of guests present at the en-
tertainment given by the civic authorities was so
great that the dinner was laid out in spacious tents,
the civic hall being too small to accommodate them.

The 13t battalion of the Gendarmerie Mobile con-
thins twenty electors, natives of that department ;
eighteen have voted for M. MULLER, and only one fur
.
GIRARDIN.
The 2d battalion of the same corps has given thirty
votes for M. MULLER, and n t one for M. GIKARDIN.
The 31 battalion of the Chasseurs 1 Pied has given
18 votes to M. MULLER, and four to his Socialist
competitor.
The Garde Republican has given to Order 24
votes, and not one to Socialism.
The Field Train has given 13 votes to MuLLEN,
and not one to M. GIRARDIN.
The garrison of Havre (but this was corjeetured
many das since would be the case) has given to
MULLER 16 votes, and only one to GIRARDIN.
The garrison of Dieppe
has given 25 votes to the
represenTative of Order, and nine to that of Sociali,m;
and the garrison of Vernon to to the' former and
only three to the latter.
