The latest proceedings in the Chamber of Peers
were of no interest. Comte de Montalembert de-
hvered an energetic denunclaton oil the (aieged)
bai barous proceedings OF the Austrian COVE rnnent
during the Gallo AN Instruction but II drew
from NJ Guizot no expressions whatever oil opin-
ion, he commended that he had no right to inter-
tere in the domestic matters OF another nation
There was also long debate on AGlers, put II
possessed no interest
The Chamber Of Deputies is dissolved, and q
new one is ordered to be elected on the LIST Aug.
The Mexican Charge d'Afairs at Madrid has
been appointed to the same Office at Paris. -
The anniversary of the declaration ofindepen-
dence was duly celebrated by the American citi-
zens in this country. AT Havre number Of
American sailors paraded the streets, with music
at their head. Having been drinking, they kick
ed up such a racket, that number Of soldiers
were sent arrest them. This aroused their gall,
and they set upon the soldiers, released the men
they made prisoners, and berg far more npme-
rous put the soldiers to fight. A large body Of
soldiers was immediately called out and marched
against them, the greater part OF whom, after
some what severe conflict, were arrested and
lodged in prison.
The gambling in railway shares last autumn
produced, as all gambling does, an immense
number Of disasters. 1t appears, for example,
that at no time, tor many years, had the sales OF
family mansions and estates been so numerous as
at that period, and they have since continued to
exceed the average. 1t is the same with re-
spect to mortgages. There at present inscrb-
ed in the public registers not less than 10000
mortgages, amounting in the whole to lo, wv ,OUO,-
900 francs
workman was yesterday condemned to a
years imprisonment and 5O0f. fine, Tor having
used in a public place insulting expressions re-
speeding the King.
Accounts from Algiers represent Abd-e- Kader
as flying before the French, and as in state OF
most pitiable distress. They represent also that
the people are disguised with him, complain bit
tery OF him, and refuse HIM all asst stance But
4 havy tha nff and fho
result has proved it to be untrue, that in this
case we must not attach much credit to it. The
General Carignac has taken terrible vengeance
on the tribe that committed the slaughter OF Dye
nina Gazaouat. He has also seized large focks
of sheep, and killed some score or two Of men
belonging to other tribes.
The harvest will be very fine this year, but the
crops have sustained some little injury by the long
drought, followed by high winds The vines are
in excellent condition, and will yield abundant
crops, which will make most excellent wine:
One Of the iavorite themes OF the republican
newspapers here is, that the British entertain an
intense hatred towards the Americans, and that
the latter return it with abundant interest. As
regards my countrymen, arn certain that 1t ID as
much a calumny to represent them as hating the
Americans, as it is to represent them as In heart
and soul the deadliest enemies of France. The
intelligent London correspondent OF one OF the
most important literary periodicals OF this city
bears me out on this point, for he says in one OF
his last communications from London, "The
successes of Gen. Taylor have been received here
with satisfaction that would surprise those who
take pleasure IN exaggerating the present rival
ry of the United States and England. But there
is always at the bottom of English hearts a family
sympathy for the ancient rebels of New England
they triumph gladly in the triumphs of the Sax
on race" Such testimony from an intelligent To-
reigner, and that foreigner a Frenchman, cannot
possibly be called IN question.
In lS45, 1906 slaves were emancipated in the
French colonies, making the total number set free
since 1880, 1924. Slavery is deIested in Franco
as an atrocous abomlnauon. 1t IS IN course OF
abolition in its colonies; and, in the course OF
few years, France will be able to make the same
glorious boast England that her flag floats over
none but freemen, and that every slave placing
his foot upon her soil instantly becomes free.
A letter from China mentions that a great many
American and Dutch vessels had gone TO Macao,
since it had been declared free port by Portu-
GAL Some few English vessels had also gone
there, but it was said that the English were ex-
cessively annoyed at the prospect Of Hong Kong
being abandoned.
The Journal des Debats and other newspapers
have lately noticed, at some length, work pub
lished by an attache Of the Belgium embassy ut
Washington, on emigration to the United States.
One or two of the journals have expressed great
modification at seeing such vast numbers OF Swiss
and Germans vending their way to the United
States, instead of TO Algiers. where they think the
chances of getting richer are better. But, unior-
tunatey they overlook one thing, and that Is, that
Algiers IS governed by the iron hand OF military
tyranny, whilst in the United States there is free
dom. Some little pamphlets have lately been put
forth in Paris, strongly recommending emigration
to the United States, and telling most marvellous
tales of the fortunes to be gained there by every
body. ] have also seen pamphlet In Germany
to the same effect but adding that the NUMBER
of Germans in America is so great as to be already
equal to the naGve-born Americans, and that not
only do the Germans keep up their distinct nation
ality, speak their own language, and employ 1t
in public documents but that, IN the course OF
few years, they will be sufficiently strong TO fleet
a separation from the Anglo-Saxon states, and es-
tablish an independent German nation on the
American continent What likelihood there may
be of such an event am not able to say but l
can tell your readers, on the authority OF Ger
man gentleman who has the means OF knowing.
that il counts for great dealmore, perhaps, than
would readily be believed-in the estimation oil
the thousands of Germans who quit their beloved
" Vaterland" for the new world.
The heat is very great in this part OF the world.
Almost every body, except those compelled TO
remain, has quilted Paris for the pleasures OF the
country, and not lew nave gone on eiecuoheer-
ing adventures.

The Constitutional announces that the price
of wheat continued to decline in all the markets
of the environs of Paris, that it was also looking

fortnight OF July.
The ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC CANAL.-The en-
gneers despatched by the French Government TO
take the requisite surveys for the projected canal
across the lsthmus Of Panama, which IS 10 JON

the Pacific side was selected at Vaca de Monte,
few miles west of the city OF Panama, IN me val
