sultlng note from Russia addressed TO
Lord Palmcrson condcmnlng in strong
terms the policy OF the English govern

The concluding sentence of this not is
as follows
"a the manner IN winch Lord Pal
merston understands the protection due
to English subjects in foreign countries
carries with it much serious inconv-n-
irnCe to Russia, and Russia and Austria

Palmersion's offer of compromise has
been rejected by the French government
and at the Cabinet councII the President
OF the Republic declared that tho accept

Prussia.
An attempt to ass,ssinate the King of

EXCITEMENT IN New Mexico The
Boundary Qucaio".--A special dispatch,
in the N. Y. Tribune, states that Gov
rrnor Washington, OF New Mexico, has
recently arrived at Washington city,
from Santa Re, bringing The rather start
ling intelligence, that the Texans and
New Mexlcans had got into an actual
fight over the boundary question. The
dispatch says:
1t seems from this, that not long before
he left a public meeting was held to con
slider the boundary question and the
claim of Texas, when IA hot dispute alose
between number of citizens and Tex
ans. The meeting resulted in fearful
riot, winch would have ended in gen.
cral fisht, had not the officer command
ing the garrison ordered the troops to IN
teriere and prevent bIoodshcd, which
was done though not without difficulty.
"A great excitement prevails in the city
the people of which declare that they
will oppose to the utmost the attempt to
force upon them the authority and laws
OF Texas.
The riot which has now taken place
is said to have been provoked by an AS
Slsant Quarterma~ter, a Texan attached
to the United States forces.

tory, in consequence oithis intelligence
has changed his design OF returning i'm
mediately home, and will remain at least
until the first Tuesday of July, winch

out OF Congress as territorial representa-
tive. with the view Of intr oducing slave
ny in New Mexico, must needs increase
this hostility 10 the jurisdiction TO the
slave State ofTexas when it shall reach
his constituents. A letter, too just pub
ished by Mr.. Smith from Mr.. f. w.
Prewit who lately travelled from one
end of the territory to the other, says
the whole country is fearfully excited
against Texas, and that should The Cow
eminent of the United States turn them
over to the tender mercies of Texas they
would submit to the sentence, yet blood
would be the result in the end.
