FOREIGN NEWS.
ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.

following summary of the foreign intelligence
brought by the steamship Hibernia:-
The Cunard steamer Hibernia, Capt. Shan
non, arrived at New York on Friday night, at
half past o'clock, having sailed from Liver
pool on tie afternoon of the 9Th instant. We
give the following details of the latest foreign
intelligence, from the European Times, for
which we are indebted to the express of Messrs
Adams & Co.:
The news is extremely favorable. Paris
continued perfectly quiet-an armistice OF
three months had been concluded between
Denmark and Germany-Engand was media
ting between Austria and Italy.
In consequence of these events, and Of the
unexpectedly favorable returns of the British
revenue for the quarter ending June 5th, the
funds had risen in London more than three per
cent in one week.
Cotton had advanced an eighth breadstuffs
remaining about as before. Business affairs
generally in an improving state.
France-Condition of the Governments
The revolution of France has assumed more
promising aspect. The late Instruction hav-
ing been completely quelled, and tranquility
apparently restored, Gen. Cavaignac, as the
almost irresponsible Dictator of France, seems
to be zealously occupied in consolidating the
Government; the funds are rapidly improving,
| and, for the first time since the overthrow OF
the monarchy, the hope is raised that France
will secure for herself, after all her b!oodshed
and sacrifices, an effective, just, and modera-
tive Executive.
I 1t is said that M. Dupin intends to propose
that the Presidency OF the Republic shall be
given TO Gen. Cavaignac for fifteen months
1t was agreed, without discussion, on the
Sd inst, to allow 10000 francs month to
the President of the Council, Gen. Cavaignac
Gen. Cavaignac has given the Assembly,
agreeabIy to his promise, an account of the
situation of the national workshops. These
establishments, he said, presented a formidable
organization. The idea of their institution
was good and equitable; but, in the course of
time, they had become menacing for liberty
and the Republic. Gen. Cavaignac had paid
the most serious attention to the matter, and
came to the resolution o: suppressing them al
together. Since the late instruction he had
Intercepted several persons respecting the
number of individuals who participated in it,
and the highest number he had heard mention
ed by the most competent to know the truth,
did not exceed $4,000 Now, the effective
number of operatives inscribed on the regis
tiers of the national workshops amounted 10
between 10000 and 100000. SO that the
combatants belonging to them were in great
minority. This fact was proved by the arrests
subsequently, made.
Paris still continues in a state Of siege. and
will continue to do so up to the 25th ultimo
There are now upwards of 10000 prisoners
growing out of the late instruction
The provinces are represented as being in &
state of tremendous excitement. Riots, mobs
and outbreaks are the order of the day.
More than 10000 muskets have already
been returned TO the arsenals of the State. II

muskets and swords with great aacrity, hui
search having been made in their houses, arms
and ammunition were found secreted.
