FROM EUROPE.

The news from Liverpool to the 10Th instant,
brought by the steamer Earopa, is briefly reported
through the Telegraph:
The President of the French Republic had sent
in his message to the Assembly, and SO far from
justfying the evil surInisngs which have been in
duged in. it is reported to have given very general
satisfaction. He disclaims the personal designs
which have been attributed to him.
A renewed misunderstanding between Prussia
and Austria is spoken Of as " confirmed" We
have had previous information of that character
Our last advices were Of an agreement between
these Powers for the "protection' of Hesse Cassel
Further reports are that "all Germany is arm
ing''-that Austria and Bavaria are in arms
and that some Prussian troops, who had possession
of the village of Byolzeb fired upon the Austrian
soldiers as they marched into it-that the fire was
returned, and the Prussans were driven out of the
place. There were some wounded on both sides.
The papers still insist that France, England, and
Russia endeavoring to mediate in the affairs Of
Germany. In Vienna war, it is said, is spoken Of
as certain.-N. 7. Com. .AdU.

A FAITHFUL PUBLIC OFFICER.

The Illinois Stale Register of November l4st
says that the ST. Louis Republican, on the authority
of the Chicago Tribune, charges the Marshal Of Ii
lnois-BENJAMN BoND, Esq.-with palpable
omission Of duty in permitting warrants for the ar
rest of fugitive slaves to "ie dead in his ofce;'
to which the marshal replies in letter addressed
to the State Register, as follows:
"Mr EDIroR My attention has just been directed by
friend to the foregoing in the st. Louis Republican of the h
instant In reply, say that warrant arrest fugi-
tive slave has yet into my hands marshal nor am
advised that any such warrant has been placed in the
hands Of either Of deputies such warrant were placed
in my hands, would know higher law than that enacted
BY Congress- and which has recsved the sanction OF the Pre-
sidenI and would execute the writ though my life should
prove the forfeit Such, verify believe, would be- the course
of all my deputies If deputy should proper to question
the law his would be promptly corrected by me- so far

THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION.

We are very glad (says the Missouri Republi
can that this body of broken-down politicians, ant
of Delegates representing no State or community
has adjourned, after more than weeks labor "a
make themselves ridiculous. Seven States were
represented in this Convention-some by more and
some by less members-Virginia by solitary
member, Gen. GoRDoN. How they were appoint.
ed is matter quite difficult to ascertain but it is
certain that no considerable portion OF the people
had any hand in it. The members seem to have
had an idea of the absurdity and the presumptuous
character of their position, because they say, in
their preamble, We have no powers that are
binding ,tpon the States Ue represent !" but, in
order to produce system and concerted action they
adopt certain resolutions. The resolutions amount
to nothing, being mere declarations which no
Southern man will question, except as to the ef-
feet Of the passage of the Compromise measures Of
the last session of Congress, in which hree-fourths
Of the country will be found to differ from them.
The only substantive proposition is that which re-
commends Congress or Convention of the slave
holding States, "to be held at such time and place
the States desiring to be represented may desig-
nate," entrusted with full power and intention of
arresng further aggression, and, if possible, OF re-
storing the constitutional rights of the South and if
not then provide for theirsafety andindependence
This Nashville Convention is the broadcast farce
which has been enacted in this section of the
try for long while, and deserves less considera-
ton than is to be attached to many county meet
ings for in these meetings the people speak for
themselves, whereas, if the Nashville Convention
was not selfdelegated, it was composed of Dele
gates acting without the authority of the people.
On the question Of dissolution of or secession
from the Union, the public mind was never better
fixed or sounder than it is at the present moment
The attachment of the people to the Union is still
strong, and it will require more cogent arguments
than those advanced by the Nashville Convention
against the Compromise measures to convince the
people that oppression has reached point when
this alternative is justifabe. We hold, then, that
the slaveholding States are not committed by this
action of the Nashville Convention to a dissolution
Of the Confederacy; that they repudiate any such
proposition; that they stand by the Compromise
measures, insisting upon full, fair, and honest ex-
ecuton Of the fugitive slave law on the part OF the
free States and if this be not done, that then will
be the time for them to adopt the alternative. The
people of the Southern and the slaveholding States
are for the Union it will be the fault of the IA
natics and misguided men of the free States, who
seem determined to force the slave States into
separation, if that event ever takes place.
