MONDAY EVENING, JULY 11.

BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

PARIS, SUNDAY.—The lately discovered plots against
the Emperor's life appear to be of a serious character.
SOUTH AMERlCA.—Advises from Monte Video, of
May 11, received by the Swedish brig Hilding, arrived at
Falmouth to-day, reports an engagement between the
Buenos Ayrcan fleet and Urquiza's. The former beaten ;
two ships captured, and many officers and men killed.
Urquiza had redoubled his vigilance in blockading and
investing Buenos Ayres. Business at Monte Video con-
sequently brisk. Freights advanced to 50s. and up-
wards for salted Hides and Tallow. Coals selling from
shipboard at £4 per ton.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.

No later news. The Times Paris correspondent writes
on Sunday evening that a pacific solution is still more
generally anticipated than previously.
The Sun says there are later accounts from St. Peters-
burg this morning, and so far as private advices are con-
cerned they read favourably ; the German party having
used the greatest exertions to bring about a pacific solu-
tion ; and the firm attitude taken by England and France
having so much disappointed the previous expectations,
that a fair proposal was the more likely to be accepted..
The Journal de Saint Petersbourgh, of the 2nd instant,
contains a circular despatch, signed by Count Nesselrode,
addressed to the European Powers. This despatchrecounts
at length the proceedings which the Russian government
has adopted to secure what it considers its rights; stigma-
tizes the concessions offered by the Sultan as vague and
unsatisfactory • acquaints the Powers with the occupation
of the Principalities ' • complains of the attitude of France
and England as likely to lead to new complications ; and
concludes by a strong disclaimer of any design against
Turkey, it being the desire of Russia to preserve the
status quo in the East.
The Sun says this document is in some respects very
offensive, and casts much censure on the parts taken by
Lord Aberdeen. It may be variously interpreted, inas-
much as there is in one part a sort of intimation that if the
fleets were withdrawn the Russian troops would leave the
Turkish provinces.
The Standard says the note throws great blame on
Lord Aberdeen, and rather contraverts the favourable
anticipations by the writers of private letters from St.
Petersburg.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
The house met at five o'clock.
The Earl of MALMESBURY wished to ask the Earl of
Aberdeen whether Government had any acconnt of the
entry of Austrian troops into the Turkish province of
Bosnia ?

The Earl of ABERDEEN said Government had received
no such information.

The Earl of DERBY would be glad to know if the
Austrian Ambassador had given any intimation of the
possibility of his government taking such a step ? If so,
what were the grounds assigned ?
The Earl of ABERDEEN said Government had received
no information upon the subject. He had seen the report
in the newspapers, and that was all he knew of the matter.
After a short discussion respecting promotion in the
army and navy, the Lord CHANCELLOR moved the second
reading of the Transportation and Secondary Punishments
Bill.

Earl GREY and Lord BROUGHAM spoke in favour of the
bill, recommending improvementsandadditions, and hoped
the attention of Parliament would be shortly directed to
an Infantile Training Establishment, which would do
much to reduce criminality.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the effect of this reduc-
tion in the amount of transportation would be to induce
parliament to turn its attention to improving our penal
code and promoting education. Before the bill passed. a
suggestion would be made by government for extending
the tiket of leave system to the mother country, while it
would be necessary to appeal to parliament next session to
grant supplies to provide increased prison accommodation.
Lord CANIrsELL cordially agreed with the principle of
the bill.

After a few words from the Marquis of CLANRICARDE,
the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be
committed.

The Chancery Suits Relief Bill and Savings' Banks
Annuities Bill passed through committee.
The house adjourned at a quarter-past eight o'clock.

Mr. W. MILES gave notice that on Friday he should
ask the Government whether they intended to proceed
against the two Roman Catholic Priests, who were stated
to have incited to riot at Six-mile Bridge, during the
election for Clare.

In reply to a question, Sir W. MotEswouTti stated
that the re-construction of the Board of health would be
considered.

Mr. WILSON, in answer to a question, stated that the
contemplated measure of prohibiting for one year the Irish
manufacturers of soap from exporting soap to England
would not be persisted in. Irish manufacturers might
export soap to England at once.
