Foreign Intelligence by the America.
The America brings intelligence two weeks later |
from Europe. We present below such items as may |
be of interest to our readers.
ENGLAND. The Queen had opened Parliament with
q speech from the throne.
Lord Dudley Stuart had made motion in the
Commons, for various papers relating to the demand
of Russia for the expatraton of the Hungarian refu-
gees from Turkey, the Hungarian war, the capture
Of Prncipales of the Danube by Russian troops, &c.
In making his motion his lordship gave sketch
of the history Of Hungary, and read series Of de-
tails connected with atrocities committed by Austria.
He touched pasheticaly upon the murder Of Count
Bathiany, the successor Of Bem, the revolution OF
Vienna, the remuneration of the Hungarian Diet OF
allegiance to the house Of Hapsburg, and the inva-
sion Of the kingdom by the Russians, before whose
number and the treachery of her chosen .chefs the
people and valiant generals fell sacrifice He hoped
that not only would England stand between the Car
and his victims, but that means would be made to
force his hordes back from the frontier to their proper
quarters in the Russian Empire. 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 the intention OF Russia
to reduce her army on the Danube frontier from
to 10000 men.
Lord Dudley Stuart asked If England was prepared
to protect the life of Kossu,h against the Vaccinations
of his enemies.
Lord Claud Hamilton characterized the statement
that an attempt had been made on the life OF the
Magyar chief, q calumny on the government Of Aus
tria.
Prolonged debate arose, in which the Hungarian
chief fully vndicated and the past atrocious bar
barity of the Austrian government denounced In no
measured terms. On the promise that the papers
would be procured, the matter ended.
The new navigation law is working well, the ports
are we'll filed, and ship building never more brisk
than present. 1t is announced that the Chancellor
of the Exchequer will beabout two and half million
plus this year, it is sad-ths, raised by the rising
prosperity of the country, will be appropriated TO the
window and other obnoxious taxes.
The ministers have not yet avowed the line OF pol
icy they to pursue in regard to the North Amer
ican colonies, but it is pretty well understood that
pendent States, annex themselves to the United
States of America, that no opposition will be offered
by Great Britain to their so doing This feeling is
grounded upon the fact that these colonies were not
selfsupporting ones.
One of the most astounding projects of the age,
throwing the American prospectus for submarine
telegraph from New York to the Isle of Wight, into
the shade, has just been announced IN London-the
formation of railway from Calais to Mooltan, in the
midst of Inda distance 800 miles, cost G36, ,OOO
Cotton Market, Liverpool Feb. 9. During the two
weeks prior the departure of the America, the cot
ton market was in quite an unsettled and fuctuatlng
condition; and after various alterations in prices,
sometimes advancing and then declining again, the
ton it was weeks ago, at the sailing of the Eu-
ropa, closing rather heavy. The committee OF brokers,
on the Sth, published their official quotations which
are for fair upands I'd. fair Mobile I'd, and fair not
fairly opened when the steamer sailed, but there was
no change to notice. The sales, including the two
weeks, amount in all to $500 bales, of which &c.
600 were American taken on speculation.
IRELAND. Intelligence from Ireland is still more
heart-rending. Cultivation seems stagnant, and tra-
ders depressed than in the first of her suerlngs

not left escape from local tyranny and des,i-
tuition.
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. The police
authorities to cut down certain of the trees of
liberty, planted during the revolution From facts
which, by the way, rather conflicting, 1t would
appear that when the order for the destruction of these
embems Of the liberty of the French people was is
sued, large crowds gathered around and decorated
them with various symbols of liberty, and that the
police acting under orders from the Executive pro-
ceeded to cut them down.
drawing back, were dispersed by the people; but a
strong body of military advancing at this moment,
the mob was put to flight, with the loss of several
wounded, while the troops were hardly molested. |
Gen. I.amoriciere was hooted at in all directions !
by the mob, but other offence was offered him. |
Since then that part of Paris has been in continual
state of ferment, and no one knows what the next
mail may bring.
The nonteur attributes the whole affair to the de- !
sire of the President of the republic to concentrate the
government of the country in his own person in per-
petuity, for every accuses him of the desire
to reenact the part of his uncle-the warrior states
man. i
RoME. 1t is stated, on authority, that the
Pope is about return to Rome almost Immediately.
1t is believed that the Spanish garrison would
ate Rome the arrival of his holiness. The French
have fortified and occupied several strong posts
the coast. Architects have been ordered prepare
the palace for the Pope's legate.
RUSSIA. Accounts from the Dardanelles state, |
that the Circassans have gained great advantages
over the Russians on the Orso the Russians having
been compelled to retreat with great loss. Il
SWITZERLAND. Austria has made demand for
the sxtradton of Poles, who have taken refuge
from the seventies following the Hungarian troubles,
within the cantonments of Switzerland The Swiss
government has refused to surrender the refugees
cept in cases where it is clearly proved that the refu
gees have intrigued politics, and otherwise miscon
Quoted themselves In this position the cantonments
are sustained by the French government England
will also, 1t is supposed, sustain the Swiss in their
position. ,
TURKEY. The escape of Madame Kossuth, and
the fact of her having joined her exed husband, are
confirmed. The extradton is nearly settled.
