The America arrived at Halifax last night
at IL P NJ, and sailed this morning for Bos-
ton. She has II through passengers.
The Canada arrived at Liverpool on the
9Th inst. Her news caused an advance in
Cotton OF SD on Middling qualities of Amer
lean.
ENGLAND.
From the manufacturing districts there is
but little TO report The tone in the Man
chester market for some days was grada
ally increasing, especially for yarns and fine
goods.
Frightful shipwrecks have taken place off
the English coast which had been visited by
a severe hurricane on the Both ult., causing
great distress-much destruction of property
and loss of life. Among the vessels lost was
the John II. Skddy. which was driven ashore
of the coast of Wexford and totally wreck
ed. Capt. Shipley, passengers and crew
were saved.
The ship Howard, from New Orleans, was
also wrecked at the entrance ofMersey. The
steamer Adelaide from Dublin to London was
lost near the mouth Of the Thames and every
soul on board numbering 200 persons, was
lost.
| The coast everywhere is strewed with por-
tions Of wrecked vessels which have talleIi
fury 10 the elements.
Smith O'Brien and companions have ar
rived at Hobartstown, Van Diemans' Land :;
the telons were granted tickets of leave on
the condition of their engaging that their lib
erty should not be used as means to effect
an escape. All except O'Brien accepted the
boon, he has been sent under guards 10 Maria
Island.
INDIA.
/ Another mail has arrived from India. bring
ing dates of Bombay, I'd March, and from
Calcutta February 20. There are eviden,
ces OF Il growing uneaSineSs on the part Of
the people and several rather serious dem
onstrati tons have been made against the
British rule, which will result in an inevta-
bic consequence OF more valuable territory
being annexed TO the East India Company's
possessions.
! Trade al Bombay is unsatisfactory except
for produce which is scarce.
I Money was stringent at Calcutta, but al-
fairs presented d more encouraging aspect.
FRANCE.
Tranquility reigns at Paris but political af-
fairs have assumed Il more threatening as
pect, although there Is increased excitement
between the conflicting parties The only
marked events Of the fortnight has beenfrsi.
the revolt of the regiments, which the Gov
eminent has not succeeded in quelllng; sec
ond. popular demonstration in Il small way
against Louis Napoleon.
Perhaps the most significant event in the
/ Legislative Assembly was a proposition of
/ NJ. De la Bouche Jacqueviie, u friend of the
President, to the effect that on the first Sun
/ day in June the nat on should be called upon
to pronounce definitely on the form Of Gov
eminent which il should choose select; that
every elector should be called upon to in
scribe on his ballot the word monarchy"
or "repubc;" that il republic should acquire
ii majority 1t should be proclaimed in the
chamber by the President Of the repubIic,and
if the monarchy obtained majority it should
be proclaimed by the President ofthe Assem-
bly,.
This remarkable proposal was received in
solemn silence by the majority, and by derls-
I'VE aneers from the mountain members; bui
at length the proposal was negatived, hav-
/ ing fallen to the ground by not being see
onded; and the previous questi n was i'm
mediately voted on unanimously. The mem
bers from the mountains received the an
nouncement with the cry Of" Vve la Repub-
/ lique."
1t is said the President is so deep in debt
that nothing bnt possession OF imperial power
and crown can eXtricate HIM, and that he ia
at present engaged in negotiating with Rus
STA for this purpose
! The Government is perseveringly employ
ed in introducing measures OF accession in
which the majority Of the Assembly support
| them.
j The Paris correspondent of the London
Standard. of late date says, the Government,
it is said. have received dispatches from
Germany which lead to the belief dat a col
Iision between Austria and Russia is una
voidable. The language used by both powers
! is partaking more and more of hostile char
aCter.
GREECE.
! Advices from Athens are to the 10Th ult.,
! but furnish only Il confirmation of previous
reports. Eleven ofthe captured vessels have
/ been given up. A courier Tor Sir VIM. Parker
arrived with dispatches from London on the
! 18th.
ROME.
| A recent number of the Roman Observer
says that the return of the Pope has been
definitely fixed for the 9TH inst The speedy
return ofhis Holiness appears TO give general
satisfaction.
SPAIN
Advices from Lisbon state that Com. Mar
tin was concentrating his forces at Tagus. in
anticipation of hostile visit from the Ameri-
can naval forces to enforce a settlement of the
long standing claims of the American Gov
eminent.
The Tuscan Government has refused to
accede to Lord PaImerston's demand of in
demnity for losses sustained by their sub
Ilects at LeghorE last year. The difficulty
