By the packet ship Poland. Captain
Anthony, Paris papers have been receiv.
ed at New York to the evening Of A.

The English Conservative Ministry
was dissolved April eth, after another
signal defeat in the House of Commons.
The discussion on the American In-
demnity Bill commenced in the French
Chamber Of Deputies on the 9th of A
pril, and was going on at the latest date.
The speech of the Duke of Fitzjames
(says the New York Americap) is BAL
DERDAsH from beginning to end, and
shows most palpably the weakness ofthe
opposition to the law. The answer of
the Minister of the Interior puts the
question on the strong ground Of justice
and explicitly states, moreover, that
the measure recommended, is CABINET
MEASURE. As such, strengthened as it
was by the avowed support Of many mem.
bers, acting habitually against the Cabi-
net it could not fail Of being carried. 1t
is to be remarked, moreover, that the
Minister refers in his speech to the refu-
sal of the Senate to grant the President,
Internationally, the three millions pro.
posed by the House 80 that the closing
proceedings of Congress were known to
the Chamber before the discussion took
place and, as there was nothing to fol-
low after, which could affect the solution
of the question, it may be considered Ger.
tain that the bill has passed.
The Duke ofLEUcHTENBERG, Prince
AUa UsTus of PORTUGAL, recently marri-
ed to the young QUEEN of PORTUGAL,
DIED at Lisbon, March 28th.
The story of a battle between the Eng
lish and Russians, in the Dardanelles, is
not ccrroborated.
The packet ship Albany, having on
board the late French Minister TO the
United States, M. SERRuRrER, and
family, arrived at Havre on the 9th of
April !; and the American friga,e Con.
stitution, Comm. ELLIOTT, arrived at
Havre on the afternoon of the same
day. Commodore E. landed immedi-
ateIy, and travelled post to Paris, to
receive the orders of MIR. Livingston.
A Havre paper of the 10th, says the
Constitution, had been expected for
several days, having been "employed,
as is we'll known, for the purpose Of
carrying the American Ambassador
back to New York, in the now very
improbable event that the vote oftwen-
ty five millions will be rejected by the
Chambers" The coincidence of the
simultaneous arrivals Of the Cons,itu.
ton and Albany, The one taking home
the recalled French Minister, and the
other to carry back the American,
while at the same moment the French
Chambers we're discussing the very
question 10 regard to which this mutual
recall of Ambassadors had taken place,
is noted in the Havre paper, with the
following comment:
"Superstitious persons will perhaps
draw from this singular coincidence Of
circumstances favorable or unfavor-
able augury as to the difficulties be-
tween US and the United States. But
for our part, we only see in it another
reason that the Chambers should act
expediciously in an affair SO embar-
RAISING to commercial business and our
political relations"
In the event of decision of the A..
merican question by the Chambers, be-
fore the 10Th of April, the Erie will
sail on that day with the intelligence,
instead Of the Oath.
OFFIcIAL.-The Globe of yesterday
says "Our private information from
France is. that the Packet which was to
leave on the 18th of April, will bring with
it the good tidings of the passage Of the
law providing for the indemnity. The
probability is, that the great majority an
ticipated will be somewhat diminished by
the indscreet publication of Mr.. Living
ston's correspondence by Congress, to
which the President was bound to COM
muncate it for its information, but which
the Houses were by no means bound to

The NeOs is good, as far as it goes.
But here is a confession of andiscretion
in quarter in which we certainly did
not look for so much candor. The
publication of Mr.. LlvINGsToN's COR
respondence, it is now admitted, was
"mdiscreet ;" Mr.. LIVINGSTON has
no doubt given the Executive to IN
