The steamship America Captain Judkins, ar
rived here about O. o'clock this morning, with one
weeks later intelligence from Europe, but in con-
sequence of the lines being down between st. John
and Calais, the transmission of the news has been
delayed during the whole day.
The America has eighty three passengers, and
brings advces from Paris 70 the LIST instant, and
Liverpool papers TO the Sd instant, inclusive. She
sailed from this port at 81 O'Clock, with strong
northwest wind.
The demand for cotton has fallen off from the
trade and spectators, and common qualities re-

One account says they were dismissed and the
President has sent a message 10 the assembly, the
reading of which created great excitement among
the members, and the citizens Of Paris generally.

exception Of Mr.. Odilon Barrott, who was i'll, as
semblcd ON the morning Of the 3Oth, TO advise the
President respecting the appointment OF success

At this meeting Louis Napoleon emphatically
declared that the cabinet wanted dignity-an i'm
putation sufficiently annoying to raise the dander
Of less sensitive personagcs than those who form
the Executive Of Republican France.
The result was, the insult was too deep to be for

The President added, that the cabinet had been
too subservien to the conservative majority Of the

The mere wind Of an initiated popular Assembly
would sweep such cabinet az this.
