ARRIVAL OF STEAMER NIAGARA.
The Niagara arrived at her wharf soon after
noon to-day, and we have our files to April 9th
inclusive.
ENGLAND
The English papers are circulating various ru-
mours relative to an anticipated change in the
Ministry, but very little appears to be known with
any certainty upon the subject.
The Queen held an interview of several hours
duration with Sir Robert Peel, which interview it
is alleged, her Majesty requested and Sir Robert
Peel afterward called upon the Duke of Yelling
ton, with whom he remained some time. 1t is
inferred that either change of Ministry, or
union of the Wings and Conservatives of Sir
Roberts order is contemplated.
The elevation of Sir Robert Peel to the Peer
age is also limited at.
The prospects for the crops throughout the
United Kingdom are said to be promising.
FRANCE.
The Government bill for giving the Transports
ton law retrospective effect has been defeated in
the Assembly by large majority The presu-
med object of the Government was to obtain au-
thority whereby Barbes, Banqui, Raspa and
others, whom they deem dangerous might be sent
out of the country. The defeat of the measure
caused the Minister of the Interior to resign
He was subsequently prevailed upon to retain
office.
The Assembly have voted two hundred thousand
francs for the celebration of the anniversary of the As
semby, proclaimng the republic. Also fifteen thousand
francs to the survs of the disaster Anglers and
the families OF the deceased.
The opposition journals issued on the 22d and 23d of
April were seized, and the newsmen arrested On the
succeeding day copies OF the prescribed journals
read aloud the Bouevards to great bodies of peo-
pie, in defiance of the police. Six companies of the
National Guard have been suspended for electng So
cialist captain.
ROME.
The accounts leads to think that the Pope does not
exactly rest upon bed OF in his recovered do
MAN. Letters say that the greatest precautions are
ken to guard his person from assassination that several
of his DEGREES have been suppressed by the cardinals
and that he u.s. in fact, little better than Austrian pr
soner.
On the night previous to the Pontff's arrival an at
tempt was made to burn down the Palace of the Qu-
rinal, the abode OF the Cardinal Trumvirate, but a
timely discovery prevented the of the design
and on the same night the windows OF the Paazzo Chi
g were shattered by the explosion of grenade in the
street.
GREECE.
Admiral Parker still retains possession of the Greek
vessels, and the difficulty between the Government and
England appears to be no nearer settlement. On the
contrary there is to believe that Baron eros,
the French plenipoentiary, after weeks of una
vaing diplomacy, has deemed it expedient to suspend
his good offices" not having felt himself justified in
recommending for the adoption Of the Greek Govern
ment any proposal which Mr.. Wyse was empowered
