E Pals, of Madrid, has the following article rela

Incur yesterdays number, we inserted the text of
proclamation issued by the Right Hon. the Presi-
den, OF the United States Of America, Gen. Taylor,
with the object OF denounciug 10 all the agents OF
the civil and military government of the Union, the
project Of AN armed expedition against our West In
dian possessions, against some of the provinces of
Mexico, organized, il would appear by certain I'M
occupied adventures. The proclamation explicit
ly and encrgetcaly condemns any such project
and orders its authors to be given up to the judi
cal tribunals as guilty of avloation of the law Of
nations. This conduct, which is highly honora-
BILE to the loyalty and foresight of the Anglo Amer
lean government, thus affords the most direct deni-
al, tho most complete and authoritative explanation
that could DO given TO the af the invasion of
Cuba by foreign power. which have Oeen for some
time past extensively di1used and generally ac

the dubious supplies of gold offered by the sand of
the Sacramento and proposed TO seek their fortunes
by more hazardous means. To us Spanards such
attempts would not appear worthy of the slightest
attention, unless the government OF the Union were
ITO tolerate or to protect them but from the moment
THE latter condemns and prosecutes them so sponta
'neously and openly as Gen. Taylor has done, they
lose all their importance, apart from what they may
derive from the circumstance that they afford an
opportunity for renewed testimony of the respect

CoNGREss OF CRowNEpHEAps OF EuRopE.-
There is singular movement amongst the crowned

Conferences at Topliz (Bohema) conferences at
Philni,Z (SaXony conferences at Frankfort Central
Power) and conferences at Laybach (Lubiana) the
capital of Carnoa, and no great distance from Tri-
cste-Austria's greatest maratime city. The inter
view ut Frankfort between the Prince of Prussia and
the AEchduke John late administrator of the deunct
Central Power, and some of the princes of the mi
nor States seems TO have led to no result. The
conferences between the Emperor of Austria, the
King of Prussia and his Majesty of Saxony, first at
Toplitz, and subsequently at PhiInitz, is as yet n

TIE TROUBLES In CANADA.-The n Y. Cou-
rier of Wednesday says
Events in Canada rapidly hurrying to a crisis
The Governor and his Ministry have decided on re
nloUlng the seat Of government from Montreal TO
Toronto. The reason the manner and the effect OF
nhis movement will all tell, with tremendous force
not only against the present Provincial Government
but against the Imperial Government which sup
ports it, 1t is unques,ionably an act OF resentment
against the people of Montreal for their treatment
OF Lord Elgin and it will nict serious injury up
nearly every class of the inhabiianlso of Montreal
who have shaped their business and made all their
arrangements with direct reference 10 that city be-
ing the capital of the Province. II strikes, moreo-
yer, severe blow at the Government party. The
whole difficulty has arisen out of the attempt OF
Lord Elgln to carry on the government in accor-
dance with the supposed wishes of majority OF the
people. The French control, and in fact compose
that majority; and they have accordingly formed and
do now form the government party in the Province
But lower Canada is the section where they reside
Their whole strength and ali their interest lie there
In removing the capitol, therefore, from Lower
Canada Lord Elgin infics serious injury upon his
own party. They in fact the principal sufferers
by the movement.
Every step which the Government Of Canada
takes, seems to plunge it still further in peril and
embarrassment. Lord Elgin first alienated the 10y
aliss of Canada by the bill 10 compensate rebel
losses and new he has taken the most e1cciual step
possible to aiieEste the remaining population of the
province. Our correspondents letter, which we
published yesterday forth very clearly and fore
IDLY the state Of public feeling in Montreal upon the
receipt of the rlunor that the capitol would be re-
moved. What effect its actual remoY Al will have
will soon be seen. Under present prospects and
existing management, we do not believe il viii be
possible for England 10 retain the Canadas for three
years longer.
HosTnE FEELING OF THE FRENcH PRESIDENT
Some week or ten days ago the n. Y. Courier
and Enquirer informed the public, in very general
terms, that probability of war with the United

Gcuars, follows:

French Republic had declared, that if France was

fact was stated bore date The Sd of May and on the
18th Of MAY, NJ Poussin made The perempiory de-
mand on Mr.. Clayton, avOwedly under instructions
from the French Minister of Foreign Affairs. for
satisfaction for the insult offered to the French flag
