did not appear even speck OF war IN
any part oflhe European sky. The re

are conlradicled by every known fact,

The British and French Parliaments
continued in busy session, dsyising ilbe-

the latter had rejected the bill presented
! by the ministers tor restoring the ancient
privilege OF Prfmogenitare; and the re-
IoiCIngs IN Paris on The failure OF The bill,
came very near producing mourning.
The Ministers were insulted by an as
semblage composed principally OF stu
dents, ana the gendarmes were ordered
10 dispense them. No lives were lost
and the tumult was ephemeral.
In debate in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties, on the subject of the Slave Trade,
Gen. SebastIani charged the French
Ministers with encouraging white slave
ry, while they appeared anxious to abol-
ish that of the blacks. M. de Villelle
pronounced the assertion to be lalse, and
read number OF documents to prove ii

The Message of the President of the
| United States on the Panama Mission
was published entire in many Of the Lon
don journals, and highly commended by
most of them. This paper-sble as it
is--appears to us to have overlooked the
very important facI-that the American
government is not TO be pledged 10 adopt
any measure, which the Congress may
propose. 1t is known that lie British
Government has assumed to be the Pa
tron Of the new Republics of the South,
and the Conrier's remarks appear to ex-
press strong tears that they may be SUI
perceded by the Government of the
United States. If Great Britain is los
ter mother, the United S. ates is sister,
and the eldest OF the family.
Congress Of Panama.-It has before
been mentioned that the Panama Con-
eress would not convene till the autumn,
