LATEST FROM EUROPE

at this port yesterday from Liverpool, whence she
sailed on the 9th March, we have received,
through Mr.. Toplif, London papers to the Sth,
and Liverpool to the 9th of March inclusive.
We find no political intelligence. The Re-
form Bill was under discussion at the latest date,
on certain details which would be of no sort Of
interest to the American reader. 1t was the bet.
ter opinion that it would pass, although certain
Lords had threatened that if it should pass they
would never take their seats in the House OF
Lords again.
The chiefto of conversation was the French
expedition to Italy, which landed and took pos.
session OF the citadel at Ancona, in the Papai
Dominions, on the 25th February.
The arrival of Don Pedro at Terceira had
created strong sensation in the Azore Islands,
and the spirits of his followers were high, and
their hopes sanguine.

from the committee on manufactures, made report
the subject of the Public Lands, accompanied by bill
providing for the appropriation of the proceeds of the
sales of land for limited time. Five thousand copies
of the report, after unsuccessful motion to lay up
the table, ordered to be printed. At future
time, may give readers the report entire mean
while ask them to be satisfied with the following
summary Of its principal topics and arguments taken
from the National Intelligencer
The Report commences with brief history
of the public domain, dividing it into the public
lands at the close of the revolutionary war, and
those within the boundaries of Louisiana and
Florida, acquired by cessions from France and
Spain, respectively.
The resolution of Congress of September 6,
1880, recommending to the interested states lib
eral cessons of portion oftheir territorial claims
to the United States; and the resolution of Con.
gress of October 10, 1880, providing that the
lands which might be coded in consequence of
that Recommendation, should be disposed of for
the common benefit of the United States, &C. &c.
are next brought in review. The report particu.
larzes the cessions made by New Y ork, in 1881,
Virginia in 1854, and Georgia in 1902, and no.
tees the clause in the cession by the last men,
toned state, which provides that the land coded
by her shall, after satisfying money payment
and certain grants recognized by the agreement,
~be considered as common fund for the use and
benefit Of the United States, Georgia included,
and shall be faithfully disposed Of for that pur-
pose, and for no other use or purpose whaterer."
The committee advert to the cessions BY
France and Spain, of the lands coming within
the second general division of the public domain,
as having been procured for considerations which
were made good to the ceding powers out of the
treasury of the Union-the common stock of the
,phole people. They examine and applaud the
system which has been made for the benefit of
purchasers among the less wealthy portions of
the community. They then refer to the Report
of the Secretary of the Treasury of April 6,
1882, showing the amount expended by the Unit
ed States in the acquisition of public lands, and
the proceeds of the sales which have been made.
This document from the Treasury Department,
shows that the amount thus expended exceeds
that received for sales by nearly eleuen millions
of dollars.
The Report states the quantity of unsold lands
on which the foreign and Indian titles have not
been extlngushed; the grants to Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Missouri, for Internal Improvements;
and the grants for literary institutions and edu-
cation. 1t then presents some strong views of
the inexpediency of reducing the prices of the
