TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.
3 am mary.

Our dispatches from Rome up to six o'clock,
p. M yesterday, at which time nothing had been
effected towards the coalition of the two factions
Propositions had been submitted by the COM
mtees Of both bodies; that of the hunkers to
the effect that all questions which had here
tofore divided the party were to be waived on the
organization of the Union Conventions; and that the
question slavery be dropped leaving every person
to the enjoyment Of his private opinion appears,
thus far that the Free Soil Convention have taken
no notice of this proposition of the hunkers, but
adhere to their previous resolutions, recognising
the right of Congress TO prohibit the extension Of
slavery in the new territories, and to abolish it in
the District of Columbia-in fact, fully adopting
the Wlmot proviso, as their platform. This, GER
tany, does not seem much like compromise.
Our dispatches from Montreal represent that
city as still continuing in state of great excite
ment. The mob, on Wednesday night, attacked
the house of Mr. LaFontaine, breaking down the
gate, demolishing the glass; and doing other serious
damage. They were fred on from the house, and
a man named Mason was killed, receiving ten
.lugs IN his body His funeral will take place to
day, and fears entertained that it will excite
the Populace to further acts of violence.
