BY the arr rival at New York Of the packet ship
Shakespeare, Capt, Cornell, which sailed April 81,
we have late news from Europe.
FRANcE.-This kingdom continues in a situa-
ton critical if not alarming. We learn, from pri-
waite sources, that a feeling of discomfort pervades
all the working classes, and that the subject Of a
revolution is freely discussed, and the event con-
sideted by no means improbable. Persons are
moving their effects from Paris, and a repetition or
rehearsal of the 7rois Jours may be looked for,
unless a favorable change in the lowering fortunes
of Louis Philippe should speedily take place. No
cabinet was yet formed as late as the 23d, and the
dissentions between the leading candidates appear
to have become more serious. A sort OF denoue-
ment on this absorbing question took place in the
Chambers the 22d. The Marquis Of Dalmatia en-
tered into a long defence of his father, Marshal
Soult-spoke of his disinterestedness, his retire
ment from politics, his desire for Cancellation, &c.
NJ. Passy replied, and minated that the Marshal
had consulted him, but had procrastinated the ar
rangements, and wished to degrade bis friend
Theirs to some other post than Foreign Minister,
the fttest for him. But the tone Of Nj. Theirs,
who followed, shows that the public is justified in
considering him the great antagonist power TO the
throne. Theirs et Ae Roi." He boldly says
the Marshal made advances to him, and then wish
ed to humiliate him-a conduct unworthy of him.
The feverish state Of things in France naturally
turns the attention OF the Orleans Dynasty TO Louis
Napoleon, now in England and the French
Charge at Zurich has actually betrayed the ap.
prehensions of his court by demanding of the gov
eminent what will be their course to the prince
should he return thither.
Louis Philippe was to be present at a grand re-
view at Paris, May LIST. He must take .are to
have himself well barricaded with loyal bayo-
nets.
1t is said Queen Victoria was so anxious abont
the fate of the Ministry on the Irish question, that
she sat up till two o'clock waiting the arrival OF
her page and then communicated the joyful intelr
gence to her mother.
The latest accounts from Paris intimate that NJ.
Theirs is hourly gaining more and more influence,
and will probably be President Of the Council, in
which event il may be concluded that Louis Phil
ippe has found it necessary to sacrifice Soult TO
bin and Passay.
Count Sebastian has left his embassy at London
for Paris. The agitation there requires his pre-
sence near the monarch.
The different tribes of Circsssia have all united
with a determination to carry on the war against
Russia with still greater vigor. They talk Ut
choosing a Sultan of Circsssia.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

By the returns given this morning it may be seen
that we have an exceedingly close contest in this
District for Congress. Lucas ascertained MAORI
tie. are, in Morgan 80, in Frederick 10, in Clarke
40; making an aggregate OF so. Barton's MAORI
lies in Berkeley 81. in Jefferson4 az; making an ag-
grsgate Of 90. This leaves a difference Of in ia
vor of Barton.
Hampshire is to decide the contest. The Win
chester Virginian reports a majority for Lucas, in
Hampshire, Of 9, which would elect him by two
votes. Corresponding from Cumber-
land and Jefferson, report S majority for Lucas-e-
lectiug Barton by . votes. We have just seen a
gentleman who left Hampshire, on Tuesday morn.
ing. bringing the intelligence that Lucas has Il ma
jority of which would elect Barton by 6 votes -
We know not which statement is most probable,
but we do know that if the Wings Of Berkeley had
faithfully performed their duty, we should not now
be anxious!y awaiting the confirmation ofthe Hamp-
shire

turn, he will contest the election upon the ground

For the Ca ette.
To the People Of Berkeley County.

FELLOW CITIZENS: have been informed thai
in consequence of my leaving the polls before they
were closed, and not voting for Mr.. Barton, there
is a considerable excitement, and doubt as to my
political creed and it is even minated by some
that | must have changed my principles and pledgeo
myself TO the Administration party, to pursue .
course in the Legislature, favorable to their notion
of Legislation, in order TO get their support :
will candidly inform you that | determined not 10

nouncement, for reasons not necessary TO state
As to the Administration party | do not know, nsr
Their do | believe that | got more of their supPol.s
than some of the other candidates.; but TOR what,
did get they have my cordial thanks. Neither oa
any one individual of them ever intimate such .
thing as trucking or bargaining with me for any
favors that | could do their party in the next ~
g~islature. | believe the Van Burenites in beih0
ley are too honorable to pursue such a course, pow

Banks is certainly reelected in the Fred

NORFOLK CONGRESSIONAL DIsTRICT.-
To the surprise of the Loco Focos, Mr..
Holleman has succeeded in beating Mr..
Mallory, the late Wing member. Du-
ring the canvass it was urged by the
friends of Mr.. Holleman, that he, being a
friend of the powers at Washington,
would be enabled, better than Mr.. NAL
lory, who was their opponent, to obtain
appropriations for improvements in and
around Norfolk. The argument appears
not to have been used in vain. By the

We understand that the differences so
long existing between Maryland and Penn.
sylvania, in regard to The constitutional
right of retaining fugitive slaves, are in
proper train tor amicable and final ADJUST
ment. The State Of Pennsylvania has
accepted the proposition which our Com
missioner, Mr.. Meredith, was instructed
TO offer, and a law has passed, by which
the great question of the constitutional
power Of State Legislation over this sub
ject is to be submitted to the determine
ton Of the Supreme Court OF the United
States. For this purpose the law directs
that the cases of bemIs and others, to
which the mission had special reference,
shall be taken up 10 the Supreme Court,

section Of the judiciary act Of 1889, either
upon a case stated or a special verdict,

Pennsylvania laws which effect in any
manner the rights ofthe citizens Of Mary.
land over their fugitive slaves. In the
meantime, all further proceedings against
the parties implicated in the case alluded
TO, are to be suspended, their personal
Liberty is completely protected, and they
will be subjected to no other Inconvenience
than that which is absolutely necessary
for the mere forms %oftrial. On the whole
the mission has been most satisfactorily
concluded, and the arrangement is a cause
OF congratulatlon, not to Maryland only,
but to all her sister States, standing in
the same relative position to this most in
.eresIirg and important question, as all
may now look forward TO a speedy es-
Enlistment of their constitutional rights
by a tribunal whose decisions are i~rrever-
slbIe.
The ad lustment Of this most important
question has been effected by Mr.. Mere
dith with a judgement, perseverance and
skill which reflect upon him the highest
credit, and which will connect his name
with il in the most honorable Manner
At the time that the mission was directed
by the Legislature, its expediency was
strongly doubted, but the success which
has attended i! and the influence it mus
have IN settling a disturbing question
prove, beyond dispute, the wisdom of the
Legislature in resorting to it.-Bahimort
Chronicle.
