The New Steamship Asia, arrived at Halifax
on the morning of the 27th, having left Liver

less than nine days;-the quickest passage ever

Flour had advanced to Is cd to Is i'd per Dbl
Corn had advanced Is I'd to Is sd. Wheat had

Matters here, in relation to our foreign policy,
are every day assuming a more serious aspect.
The Greek affairs are not in way that is likely
to lead to peace. The French and Russian
Governments appear to be generally dissatisfied
at the turn affairs have taken, and the Ministers
Of both Governments have left England. Nc
person in England was aware of this state of
things until the absence of the French and Rus
sian Ministers. 1t gave rise to some inquiry
in the House ofLords on Thursday, Lord Broug-
ham called the attention of the Marquis Of
Lansdown to the subject of departure of the
French Minister on the anniversary Of her
Majesty's birth day, and hoped that no diminu-
ton of friendly feelings existing between the
French and English, was to be inferred from
that event
The excitement relative to a new election law
is spreading in France, and petitions against it
are pouring in from every quarter. The authors
of the Constitution decidedly of the opinion
that any attempt to limit the franchise Of the
Constituent Assembly is illegal. Part of the
National Assembly concurred in this decision.
Three leading journals and several leading Off
GERS of the Naval Guards have been punished
for signing petition against the new law. Ap-
prehension of a serious insurrection, in conse-
quence Of this law, have been revived within
the last few days. The trade at Paris is in a
more satisfactory standing than since the revolu-
ton of February 1S4S. Accounts from the
Agricultural districts, however, are not cheering
The farmers have sown but little 1t is feard
that the next harvest will not yield sufficient for
consumption.

The Princes of Schwartzenburg Rugoldstadt
and four reigning Princes of Rheims, have ced
ed their rights of sovereignty in order to advocate
the unity of Germany.
Austria md Hungary.
We learn from Vienna that the Church msur-
rection will be one of life and death, so exaspcr-
ated are the minds of men on this subject. The
Lloyd says the general interest of all, what
ever creed they may be, now calls for the separ-
alton of all churches from the State, for that
liberty now granted to the chuch at Rome sue
cessiveIy involves the removal of all restrictions

vessels engaged in lawful trade, will be exposed
to vary little inconvenience.

ing allowed to land at Havana.
At Cardenas company Of lancers, who
charged on General Lopez's, troops were all Kill
led. e.# .5r =
All the foreigners ut Havana, except the A.
mericans, offered their services to the Govern
ment. ....
Lopez had possession of Cardenas l6 hours,
when the troops arrived from Matanzas, and
fighting commentaries 80 killed and wound
cd. The Spaniards lost 80 to 100. The inva-
ders continued fighting and retreating till they
reached the steamer Creole, which was closely
pursued by the steamer Pizzaro. Lieutenant
James, from Alabama, says one ofthe wounded
received a ball through his right side-he is at
Key West -. .... ...
Another letter states that the invaders were
attacked when within ten yards of the Govern
ors house with shower of bullets from the tops
of the houses, which wounded Coils. Wheat and
O'Harra The invaders returned the firing
which lasted over an honr, when white flag

ARREST OF THE AMERICAN Consul AT Hay
TI-The last news from Hayti is, that the A.

by the authorities of the Island, and put in nr;s.
on. The offence consists in ordering the seals
to be removed from an American vessels, to re-
ccivo small cargo of coffee when the Govern
ment officers were not present.
1t appears to be law there, that all foreign
vessels shall have their matches closed and seal
ed, except when government officer is on
board, so that no cargo can be received, without
undergoing their supervision Mr.. Wilson's
plea is, that the coffee being in lighters, would
have been damaged by bad weather, were it not
put on board immediately

The Cuban ExDedition.

There Is no longer any reason to doubt that a
body OF armed, equipped, and organized troops
have left the United States, for the avowed pur-
pose of facilitating if not precipitating an insur-
rection in Cuba. This step has been premedi-
tated for series of years, and wanted but ia
Vorable opportunity for its consummation.-
That period has arrived, the first step is taken,
and according to tclcgraphic reports, the first
battle for Cuban liberty has been fought with
success.
1t Is difficult to anticipate with any certainty,
the success which shall attend the Cuban patri-
OTIS. With our limited means of knowledge, of
their movements, all we can do is to hope for the
best. 1t is not supposable that handful of men
from the United States would commit such
gross blunder, as to rush into the Jaws of the
Spanish fortresses which rear their cannoned
heads above every accessible port in Cuba, with
out having something more than mere possibil-
tiles to rely on for ultimate success.
There is less reason to suppose that any re-
spectacle American officer would connect his
fame and fortunes with a mere chmera, as some
have represented this expedition to be- The
names of distinguished American soldiers have
been confidently mentioned as leaders in this
patriotic war, and from their we'll known and
undisputed sagacity, it is but fair to presume
that there is at least probability of success

latest intelligence on this interesting subject.
