reach this city before tomorrow morning. The
following additional news by her is furnished by
the telegraph:
England.
| The royal speech states that the governments of
America and Sweden had evinced their desire To
cooperate with Great Britain on the subject OF the
repeal OF the navigation laws, and after abiding To
some local topics, il then gives death blow To the
advocates OF monopoly of the articles of food as
| follows:
"Her majesty has great satisfaction in congratu-
latng you on the improved condition of commerce
and manufactures. II Is with regret that her ma
| jesty has observed the complaints which, in many
parts of the kingdom, have proceeded from the
owners and occupiers of land. Her majesty gene
rally laments that any portion of her subjects
should be suffering distress, but il is source of
sincere qualification to her majesty to witness the
| increased enjoyment OF the comforts and necessa-
| ries of life which cheapness and plenty have be-
slowed upon great body of her people and coun-
| try"
! The chief measures recommended from the throne
are in reference to Ireland, and relate to the inn
provement Of the party provision act and the laws
regulating the relation between landlord and ten
| ant
| ain conclusion, her majesty hopes and believes
| that by combining liberty with ORDERLY preserv-
| ing what is valuable and amending what is defec-
tive-the Legislature will sustain the public institu-
| tons the abode and the shelter of free and
happy people,"
| AS anticipated from the movement recently going
1 on for the revival of the protective duties corn
| an amendment to the address from the house of
| parliament was moved in the Commons by Sir John
| Folope, and in the Lords by Lord Stanbrook. The
| amendment was to the following effect:
"We regret, however, to be compelled humbly to
represent your majesty that in many parts of the
| United Kingdom, and especially in ireland, the
various classes of your maesys subjects connected
with the cultivation OF the soil are laboring under
severe Distress mainly applicable, in opinion,
| to recent Legislative enactments aggravated by the
/ pressure of local taxation
| This amendment was lost in both Houses, by an
/ overwhelming majority.
On Thursday night Lord Dudley Stuart in the
Commons, moved for various papers relating to the
| demand of Russia for the repatriation OF the Hun
| garian refugees from Turkey, the Hungarian war,
the capture Of Princpalites Of the Danube by Rus
| sian troops, &c.
i In making his motion his ordship gave sketch
of the history of Hungary, and read series of de-
tails connected with atrocities committed by Aus
| tra. He touched pathetically upon the murder of
Count Bathiany, the successor of Benz, the revou-
ton of Vienna, the remuneration of the Hungarian
Diet of Allegiance to the house of Hapsburg, and
| the invasion of the kingdom by the Russians, be-
fore whose number and the treachery of her chosen
chiefs the people and valiant generals fell sacri-
| fee. He hoped that not only would England stand
between the Gar and his victims, but that means
would be made to force his hordes back from the
frontier to their proper quarters in the Russian En-
| pire. Lord Palmerston, in reply, stated that he
would place upon the table any papers bearing upon
the subject; and he should inform the house that it
was the intention OF Russia to reduce her army on
| the Danube frontier from 46, 900 to 10000 men.
Lord Dudley Stuart asked if England was pre-
pared to protect the life of Kossuth against the ma
i chnations Of his enemies
Lord Claud Hamilton characterized the state
ment that attempt had been made on the life of
| the Magyar chief, a calumny on the government OF
| Austria.
| Prolonged debate arose. in which the Hungarian
chief fully vindicated, and the past atrocious
barbarity of the Austrian government denounced
in measured terms. On the promise that the
papers would be produced, the matter ended.
| The new navigation law is working well, the
ports well filled, and ship building never more
brisk than at present. 1t is announced that the
| Chancellor of the EKchequer will be about two and
half million plus this year, it is said, this, raised
by the rising prosperity of the country, will be APP
propriated to the window and other obnoxious
| taxes.
| The ministers have not yet ayowed the line OF
policy they mean to pursue in regard TO the North
American colonies, but il is pretty well understood
that should these colonies desire either to become
independent States, or TO annex themselves TO the
United States of America, that no opposition will
be offered by Great Britain 10 their so doing. This
feeling is grounded upon the fact that these colo
MES were sefsupporting
One OF the most astounding projects OF the age,
| throwing tho American prospectus for asubmnrlne
telegraph from New York TO the lsle of Wight, in
to the shade, has just been announced in London

SERIOUS DISTURBANCES IN PARIs.-on and since
Monday, Paris has been in state Of siege, in con-
sequence OF series Of disturbances created by The
mob Of Rue ST. Martin and ST. Antoine. Tho
police authorities came TO- cut down certain Oh inc
trees Of liberty, planted during the revolution
From facts which, by the way, arc rather conflict
ing, II would appear that when the order for the
destruction Of these last emblems Of the liberty Of
the French people issued, large crowds gath
cred around and decorated them with various sy M
bols Of liberty, and that the police, acting under
orders from the Executive, proceeded TO cut them
down.
The police were resisted Monday forenoon
and drawing back, were dispersed by the people
but a strong body Of military advancing at this
moment the mob was put 10 flight, with the loss
Of several wounded, while the troops were hardly
, | molested.
Gen. LAmoriciere was booted at in all directions
by the mob, but other offence was offered him.
+ Since then that part Of Paris has been In con
tinual state Of fomcnt, and no one knows what the
next mail may bring.
The Monife,n attributes the whole affair 10 the
desire Of the President Of the republic 20 concentrate
the government Of the country in his own person IN
perpetuty, for now every one accuses him OF the
desire to enact the part Of his unelethe warrior
statesman.
A number Of riots took place on Monday and
