ST.. JOHN IN. b. TELEaRArH OFFICE,
Tuesday Afternoon, June 10.
The America, Captain Harrison, with sixty pas
sengers, bringing Paris dates of the 7th, London
of the Sth, and Liverpool of the 9th, arrived at
Halifax about three O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The express, with the news, reached Granville
Point at one O'Clock this morning, where it was
delayed till nine o'clock, owing to the unavoidable
absence of the express steamer.
The news reached this city almost at the very
moment that the wires (Which were down last
night were got in order.
The express left Halifax at four o'clock, and the
America was advertised to leave at six, which will
place her at her wharf in Boston on Wednesday
morning, at about five o'clock.
There was fair demand for American stocks,
both in London and on the continent. The Lon
don papers, however, give no quotations.
The Emperor of Russia is SAID to be in the
market for the lean of fifty million roubles.
The East India Directors have given the stipu-
lated notice of one year, for the reduction of the
interest on their bonds, from four and half to
three and half per cent.
The Hibernia arrived at Liverpool, on Monday,
making the passage from Halifax in nine days.
interesting Proceedings In the British
Parliament
In Parliament, Mr.. Gladstone gave notice that,
on the 18th instant, he would bring forward mo-
ton respecting the late events In Canada; Lord
John Russell having given pledge that, in the
meantime, nothing should be done to prejudice the
present position of the Rebellion Losses Bill.
The conduct of the American government, in
reference to the expedition to be sent out in search
of Sir John Franklin, has been alluded to in Par
lament, in very fattering terms.
Deplorable Condition OF Ireland.
In Ireland, however, although there are yet no
just grounds for alarm, yet there are unmis-
takeable evidences of the fatal disease in the
growing potato, and especially in the vicinity Of
Dublin.
State or Affairs on the Continent.
Affairs on the Continent had undergone no i'm
portant change during the week preceding the
departure of the America, though the events had
been neither few nor trifing.
The French Republic-Message Of Louis
Napoleon.
In France, new cabinet has been formed by the
coalition of Odillon Barrot and Dufaure The
new ministry is the same as the old, except Du-
faure takes the department of Minister of the Inte
rior, M. de Tocquevllle of Foreign Affairs, and
M Laguinais Of Commerce. Both Bedeau and
Remusat refused to accept the department of Fo-
reign Affairs, in consequence of the difficulties Of
the Italian question. Much surprise was excited
by the omission of Marshal Bugeaud from the list.
The Paris papers generally express disapproval
of the compromise, and predict its failure. The
red republicans are especially violent in denounc-
ing the new ministry.
The Message of the President of the French
Republic to the Legislative Assembly, was pub
hshed in the Paris papers of Tuesday. 1t is COM
posed upon the American, and notion the European
model, and fills four columns of the European
Times.
The Paris journals of Thursday furnish intelli-
gence to the I'd inst, up to which date hostities
had not commenced, though General Oudinot de-
nounced the armstlce on the lst
The English press, In their review of the mes
sage of the President, speak of it as exhibiting an
unlookedfor degree of ability in its author, and as
being vigorous and eloquent exposition of public
affairs The condensed and energetic style which
characterised the proclsmatons and addresses OF
the Emperor Napoleon is apparent throughout the
whole message, the subjects Of which, following
the American model, are appropriately divided,
and considered under the several heads of finance,
military establishments, including the native agri-
culture, industry, and commerce, public works
and foreign affairs. The President commences
with recital of his original engagements to the
country, all which he claims to have faithfully OBJ
served, and to these he promises to adhere.
Any detailed summary of the message would
consume too large portion Of our telegraph de
spatch, and we must content ourselves with few
extracts in reference to the foreign policy of the
government, and especially to the Intervention In
favor of the Pope, which, considering the vast
influence of French politics upon the peace Of Eu-
rope, are perhaps the most important portions OF
the message.
The President says, "It is the destiny of France
to shake the world when she shall be agitated, and
to tranquillise it whs.. she shall be in state a.
peace. AS soon as shall have power, some i'm
portant questions must be discussed respecting va
rous European matters. Beyond the Rhine and
the Alps, from Denmark to Sicily, there Is an in
teres for US to preserve an influence for us to cx-
ercise."
After reviewing the important events which have
taken place IN Europe the past year, the message
goes on to say" At Rome, a revolution was
effected which created great emotion in the Catho-
lie and liberal world. In effect, for two years, we
were accustomed to behold in the Holy See,
Pontif who took the initiative in useful reforms,
and whose name, repeated in hymns of gratitude
from one end of Italy to the other, was the symbol
of liberty and the guerdon of all hopes, when
all Of sudden we learn with establishment
that the sovereign who was lately the idol
Of his people had been compelled secretly
TO fly his capital. Thus, the acts OF aggres-
sion which obliged Plus TX. TO quit Rome,
appeared to the eyes Of Europe to be the |
wok Of conspiracy, rather than the move.
