Tire Britannia sailed from Liverpool
for New York on the 10Th of June, and
has consequently been sixteen days on
her passage. She brings dates seven
days later than those brought by the
America.
With the exceptions Of engagements
which have taken place between the
Italians and Austrians during the week,
and the surrender of some Danish SOL
diers to .lhe Prussian army, affairs gen.
orally look somewhat quiet.
France is, however, still tho theatre
Of considerable confusion. A report
was spread, in the course Of the sitting
of,he National Assembly on the eighth
inst, that the police were in search Of
high person who arrived in the morn
ing al Paris, in the Diligence, from Lon
don. From information, believed to
be correct, the person has been arrest
ed. The person here alluded to is the
Prince de JoinvilIe. Prince Louis Ma
poleon is understood to be in for Paris.
He will probably receive other returns
besides that at the capital. The gov
ernment, Of course, will not dare to mo-
lest him.
The London times states the resig.
nation Of Lamartine and Ledru Rollin
was openly talked of in Paris, and sus.
picions are expressed that Lamartine
was party to the movement of the
18th. Cuassidere, late prefect Of the
police, charges Lamartine with having
supplied the arms to Soubrier, which
enables him to get up the conspiracy.
Lanartine's friends allege that his aim
was by making popular demonstra-
ton to avoid collision in the streets
Of Paris.
Mr.. Thiers is reported as not unlike
ly to supplant Lamartine in his author
ity.
The CONSTITUTION OF FRANcE.-The
Presse states that the commission on
the constitution has decided on the fol.
lowing important points: The political
constitution of France shall be Dem.
cratic Republican one, and undivisable.
This proposition was adopted unani.
mously. The project of the constitu-
ton is to be preceded by a declaration,
admitting besides the rights alfeady en-
joyed by the people, those Of gratuitous
education, employment and assistance.
The cholera is again making sad hav-
oc in Russia. According to the Berlin
papers, there were i53 cases in Mos
COW, Of which 81 terminated fatally.
We have accounts from Vienna, to
the ed instant. The conduct of the
Emperor is considered by the Vien-
nese as most extraordinary. A depu-
tation ofladies to present petition, re-
questing his Majesty to return to his
capital, has been treated with marked
rudeness. At lnspruck the Emperor
took the petition from the ladies, and
without saying word, turned on his
heel, and walked away. The city was
quiet, but distrust continued to prevail
between the people and the noblesse.
Many of the latter body were leaving.

lschel. Nearly all the foreign Ambas-
sadors were at Dobling, in The vicinity
of Vienna.
RomE.--It is said that Pope Plus had
recovered all his popularity, and on the
feast Of st. Philip the population made
q brilliant manifestation in his favor.
IRELAND.-The Repeal Association
and Orange Confederation have at last
fraternized. A new Society, to be
composed of the members of both Of
these bodies is to be formed. 1t is to
assume the style and title of the Irish
League. 1t is to be managed by CON-
mittee chosen from the members Of
both the late societies, and to agitate
the question Of repeal by constitution.
al means alone. Doubts are entertain.
ed by many whether such materials as
the proposed League will contain, can
work harmoniously together for any
length Of time. The government has
not yet made any move to re-indict
Mr.. Smith O'Brlen and Mr.. Meagher.
Sympathy for Mrs. Mitchell and her
children is still expressed, and the funds
collecting in their behalf are daily in
creased.
The Irish Confederation have issued
a very strong, and, to say the truth,
very disafected address 10 the people
of ireland.
The sale Of Mf. Mitchell's furniture
took place on the 5th instant, and at
.tracted an immense attendance, and
many persons came from forty to fifty
miles, in 'order to purchase some relic.
The furniture sold at extremely high
prices, especially the small articles,
