cient to print copious Oriental texts. In the nego
talions with the Pope concerning the Jesuts, it wa.
agreed that the French Government should cause
the numerous proessorate OF the College Of France
to pass censure, direct implied, the anti-re
] lgious and aggressive lectures of MIcHELET and
QUINET. The attempt has virtually failed. The
majority Of the Professors considered it an attack
on the independence of the College, and confined
themselves to an admission OF the allegation (noip
riously alse) of their infde colleagues that no
design of deviating from the regular programmes
of the chairs had been or was entertained The
first article of the Revue des Deur Nondes, issued
Yesterday, consists of thirty-seven pages, made up
Iby Mr. CHEvALIER from Mr.. PREscoTTs History
on the Conquest of Mexico. Towards the concli-
sion the Professor inquiries, what is to be the fate
1 of Mexico! Will the country fall into barbarsn
or into subsection to the heavy yoke of the Pro
esant race of the United States, who flatter them,
selves with the promise of the dominion of the
world 7" or can Catholicity maintain the strife
with Professionalism, and reanimate degenerate or
languid people! These are his moot points. Of
which he predicts the early solution; and he Laws
stress on the importance of them for France, whose
grandeur comes from her being the Corypheus Of
Catholic nations" II is not the warfare In Algeria
assuredly, that proves the Catholic to be lighter
"A
been created in the Chamber of Peers and the press
by the account Of the deliberate suffocaon of five
hundred Arabs in cave, under the orders of a
French Colonel You have within the horrible de-
tails, and some of the newspaper comments. Ad-
vices from Barcelona and Madrid are to the 10th
instant. The Journal des Debats affirms that the
reyolts In Catalonia were queled-not indeed with
out much slaughter and the severest martial law
and that Madrid was tranquil, though exceedingly
anxious. The Madrid editors, seized in their beds
and spirited away, were still in close prison at Ca
dir. The young Duke of SEVILLE, the Queen 5
cousin, would now seem the husband-elect; he is
a naval hero. The Emperor of Morocco has rati-
fled the treaty Of boundary with France The
commercial convention will include the internal and
maritime borders. We have compendium of the
treaty of commerce between Great Britain and Ma
pies. France is negotiating kindred one with the
King of the Two Sicilies. Our opposition editors
say that the terms of the former are injurious to
Naples and to France. Political uneasiness in
Prussia, and great victory Of the Russians over
the Circassians, are rumored. The London Morn
ing Chronicle of the 18th reprehends strongly the
new number Of the Edinburgh Review for advising
a compromise of the Oregon question, by the ex-
tension OF the 49th degree of latitude to the coast
and making it the northwest frontier between the
American Union and British America. The Chron-
cle accuses the Review Of desertion, and of flying
against the unanimous declaration of English states
men," :" after satisfactorily proving the superior
claims of Great Britain to the Oregon Territory
The article of the Chronicle is remarkable, and hos
tile enough in its whole tenor and leven. The Lon
don Times of the 18th describes Lord ABEaDEEN's
Brazil SaUe-frade Bill thus: 81 1t is one of the
most decisive measures the British Government
has ever been called upon to take, in order to
maintain the spirit of treaty in opposition to an
attempt to defeat some of its provisions" The
bill provides that the British Courts of Admiralty
may adludicate upon any vessel captured for carry
ing the slave-trade in conravention OF the treaty
of 1927 with Brazil just as such courts proceed for
the suppression of the save-trade by Britishowned
ships; it indemn6es all persons for being concern
ed in the search, capture, or condemnation of such
vessel; and 1t enacts that such vessels, when cap
tured, may be taken into the Queens service or
broken up. You may remember the Portuguese
Slave-trade Suppression Bill, of the British Parlia-
ment against which the Government of Portugal
transmitted circular protest to all the Courts of
Europe, violation of national equality and indie
pendence. Brazil is thrown into similar pre-
dcament.
