Summary OF the Mornings News--Lsssr
from Europe, <Ss.
The steamer Canada, which arrived at Halifax
yesterday morning, furnishes us with three days
later advices from the other side Of the Atlantic.
AS We anticipated, tranquility still reignedin Paris.
The people of France had not entirely recovered
from their astonishment at the sudden, mastery,
and efectual stroke of Louis Napoleon to take the
whole responsibility Of the government on his own
shoulders. To show We popularity Of tho coup
dat with the army, II is only necessary 10 refer to
the overwhelming vote in favor Of Louis sixty i've
thousand to thirty. five hundred. That many Of the
people are greatly dssatisfed there can bsno doubt,
whatever. We observe that several legions of the
National Guard had been disbanded in consequence
of their opposition; many departments had been
declared in state of siege; and large numbers of
the mountain or red republican party were leaving
the country, as had also M. Thiers, who
was compelled to fly after his release from pi-
son, in consequence Of some impolitic express
sions against the present position Of affairs. The
great body people feel that resistance worse
than useless against such powerful, well organized
unanimous, and determined army. The disafected
are literally tied hand and foot; the socialists, is
usual with crazy persons, are making known their
disapprobation by burning down houses, and doing
various other silly and pro6tless things; and the
aspirants to the crown Of Louis Philippe, through
Henri the Fifth, have been distinctly given to un
derstand, from high suthority, that tho ceunten-
snce of all monarchical powers will be extended to
Louis Napoleon. In short, the position Of France
is fixed for years-the army will rule long its
leaders remain faithful to each other. The chief
executive win be the choice of the army-Louis
Napoleon will be the head just SO long he pleases
the ssldiery-no longer.
The Liverpool cotton market was quite dull /;
hour had slightly declined and provisions remained
about the same as per previous accounts.
Kossuth has, at last, made known his opinion Of
the coup dttat of Louis Napoleon. In his speech
at the Philadelphia banquet, last evening, he
averred that the revolution in France was highly
favorable to the cause of freedom-it was but the
precursor Of general outbreak. He declared that
the sacrilegious mVement Of Louis was the one
thing wanting, to make the down trodden masses
in the Old World rise in their might and assert
their rights. Kossuth also took occasion to deny
any fratemization with either socialists or aboli-
tionists-he belonged to neither party. This will
fall like wet blanket upon the red hot zeal Of
those bodies who have made themselves so con-
spicuous in the presence Of the Hungarian in this
city.
Congress did nothing Of Importance yesterday.
We learn from Albany that, according to present
indications, no contracts for enarging the canals,
in pursuance of the law passed during the extra sss
sion of the legislature will be given out under the
present canal management; and that the new Canal
Board will have the control Of the matter. AS
might have been expected, this causes great dis
satisfaction; and consequently learn that great
CONSERVATION prevails among the contractors. The
board are entitled to great credit for disseminating
assignments Of contracts. It has heretofore been
the practice for the hanger political parties to
make contracts, and then assign them for valua-
BILE consideration, making handsome sum by the
operation without iEcurring any risk, and without
any trouble. This should not be tolerated
Three hundred men,were thrown cut of employ
ment by the burning Of the glass works in East
Boston, yesterday morning. This is most unfor-
tunate calamity, and viii be felt more severely by
the poor werkmen at this than at any other season
Of the year.
Some additional particulars from the Rio Grandc
represent the recent fighting to have been of the
most desperate character. If the revelutoniss con-
tinue their present course, they will certainly sue
eeed.
On the subject Of fapprepriating Madison Square
for Crystal Palace coming up in the Board ofAs-
sistant Aldermen last evening", question was raised
as to the legal right Of the Common Council to do
so. Great doubts appeared to be entertained the
point, and the papers were ultimately referred to
committee.
