The additional news from Europe, brought by the
Canada and published in another column is OF the
highest political importance. Inc TURKISH question
and the Chinese rebellion absorb all other questions.
n appears that the Porte had thrown himself in the
hands of the French and English and that the Rus

The debate In the Assembly yesterday, upon the
senate's proposition for Committee of Conference,
indicates that little if any of the fire Of dscord upon
the Canal question has been quencked by the recent
trip of our legislators to Niagara Falls Some Of the
speakers seem to have been unusually sarcastic on
the occasion. 1t was finally resolved to permit the
Speaker to appoint the committee, which he did in
the course Of the afternoon by naming four democrats
and one wing, the majority of whom have been
strong opponents of the Senase's plan Of amending
the constitution

According to the despatch from our special Wash
mgton correspondent the announcement of the
withdrawal of Gov. Trias from Ell Paso has some
what dampened the hopes of those asprants for
military glory who may have been really anxious for
another brush with Mexico. Cen Garlands in
structions said to be simply to maintain an
"armed neutrality" not to take possession of the
valley, but to protect the American citizens, and,
should occasion require, to subject himself to the
disposition Of Gov Meriwether. As to the boundary
line it is held that the initial point has not been
fablished according to the terms Of the treaty,
and is still open for settlement by the joint COM
mission, or, in case they should fall by ne
gotiaton. Should the latter alternative be resorted
to, dollars and cents will, it is thought, remove
all cause Of trouble, as Santa Anna is greatly in
want of money, and we have no objection to incor-
poratng another strip Of territory into the Union.

The report is also severe upon the management of
this important lne and states that the president is
especially negligent in the discharge of the duties
devolving upon him. The committee submitted no
bill resolution with their report, for the reason
that the Standing Committee on Railroads design
reporting general law, in order to avoid similar
calanities in future.
