FRANcE.-Thc latest arrivals bring no account
of any business of importance having been
transacted by the French Assembly. The pro-
posal of NJ. Louis Napoleon to allow the Bour-
bon family to return, was rejected. 1t is tho't
that the greater part of the Frcnch army will
soon be withdrawn from Rome.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.-Thc threatened war
between these two nations seems at present not
likely to occur. Tn probability that England
and France would support the Sultan seems to
check somewhat the wrath Of the Gar. The
Russian and Austrian Ambassadors have quit
ted Constantinople. The British and French
Ambassadors supported the resolution of the
Divan. Turkey is preparing for war, and q
British fleet has entered the Dardencles in an-
ticipation of an attack from Russia.
AUsTR1A-The government has sent agents to
England to borrow money. Tho Peace party
are cxert;ng their influence to prevent the loan
being granted.
ENoLAND.-A great ratification Peace Meet
ing was to be held in London on the 30th of
Ocroocr, consequent on the great Peace Con-
gress in Paris.

CANADIAN AFFAIRs continue 10 excite the
deepest interest, not only in the provinces but
throughout the States. The editor of the Kings
ton British) Wing, in a late number of that
paper, says 50 During q recent absence from
home, the editor passed through a dozen villa
gcs in Upper Canada, and the sole topic of con-
vcrsation among all classes and parties was An
n~cxation. Nay, in the good city of Kingston,
loyal old Kingston-the stronghold of Conser-
vatism par cxccllence-nine-tcnths of the peo-
pie are Anncxationists; and if any practical
benefit could arise from signing any Manifesto,
they would chccrfully do it. But they possess
common sense, and knowing that without the
consent of Great Britain, all attempts at anncxa-
ton must be worse than useless, they wisely
bidc their time"
4 new journal, to advocate the cause of An
n~exation, has Just been started in Toronto. It's
entitled The Independent and is edited by IL.
B. Wilson, Esq, son of a late speaker OF the
Canadian Assembly. Mr.. w writes with calm
ness and moderation, and its general tone must
command the respect, even il it does not con-
vert the opponents of annexation.
LIBERTY or DIATu.-The Norfolk (Va.) Her.
aid of Saturday says, that Capt. Wooltord OF
the schooner Thomas G.. Pratt, has been arrest
ed in that city at the suit of a Mr.. Clark for the
loss of a slave. Capt. Woolford it seems was
bound from Fredericksburg to Providence, but
being detained by head winds, and wanting also
an additional hand put into Norfolk, and there
shipped a colorcd man who represented himsel
as free. Hc then pursued his voyage, but wher
off Egg Harbor the vessel sprung q leak, ane
the captain determined to return to Norfolk
and on Tuesday, oil ChlncoteauSe, the colorcS
man, who was a slave, preferred death to bon
dagc, jumped overheard and was drowned.
1t was hcroism in one Virginian to say "Giv
me Liberty or give me Death J" The requiem
over another, whose acts attest how well he be
lieved in the truth of these words, is an actor
before the Mayor for the value in dollars ant
cents of his living b~ody.-National A. 5. Stan

Star states that upwards of $4,000 have bhci
expended in fitting out the Cuba expeditions
