Accounts from y lris state that neither the
French nor the British Cabinet regard, the
propositions made by Prussia for resumption
Of negotiatonslas likely to lead to q pacific 80
luton of existing a iiicultiep, and that il would
therefore be- uselars tor tho~e two Powers 10
entertain the proposition The only thing,
they think, that ought to be done at present il
to hasten their fleets and troops to the seat OF
war. Ii is reported that the subscriptions for
the French loan already amount to 800, 900, 600
francs
The allied fleet was still ut Besika Bay, and
the Russian feet at Sebastapol. There was
nothing new from the Danube.
Prussia still holds back, though protesting
to act in accord with the Western Powers.
The Russians were terrifying the interior
cities of Wallachia and M0ldavia, and work
mon were strengthening the Notifications of
Sebastop0l, Odessa, Kronstadt, Wilborg, Swea-
borg, and the entrance Of the Dniepar.
Kalafat continues to be strengthened by
Turkish renforcements. The Russians seem to
have abandoned their intention of attacking
that point, and are threatening instead Brailow
and Galatz. Omer Paahs was also menacing
various points A part Of the Russian force
Withdrawn from Kalaiat has moved towards
Orsova, a town on the Danube near the bound
aries Of Servia and Transylvania. Prince Pas
kiewitch would soon inspect tho troops along
the Danube.
1t was reported that the first operation of
the Anglo French army wonld be to attack
Sebastopol by land, while the fleets would as
sail it by sea, 1852
The Greek revolution had not fully sub
sided: The Egyptian troops had been sent to
Gambia.

promise under which he alleged the South Lad
suffered 30 many wrongs. He dep coated the
storm Of fanaticism gathering ia tie Norsh,
and invoked all who had in past times fought
shoulder to shoulder for the liberties of our
country, to stand forth now in support Of the
rights our National Constitution guarantees.
Mr.. Keitt also assaulted the o. dinance of 1887
as unconstitutional, unjust, and usurpation
and he argued this subject at length, inciden-
tally advocating with earnestness the doctrine
Of State sovereignty.
Recurring TO the Missouri Compromise, Mr..
X. reviewed it with especial reference TO its
constitutional authority. He maintained that
the United States Government had no right
whatever to interfere between the States, ex-
Dept to guaranty to them each republican
form of government. Should one State make
war upon another, tho General Government
had no right to interfere. 1t could have no
power: for sovereign power was essential to de-
clare war, and that the Government does not
possess 1t is not a sovereign, but creature.
Mr.. Keitt concluded by drawing picture
Of the blessings of the Slavery of the South,
and Of the misery of the poor Of the North,
and affirmed that it is tho duty Of the United
States Government to protect the institution
Of Slavery! The commerce. the fisheries, the
manufactures, of the North, were protected.
Why not protect the more beneficent condition
of society in the South? But the South would
protect it. She would meet the foe.
Mr.. Benton followed, and spoke in opposi-
ton to tho bill properly before the Committee,
appropriating three million dollars for the con-
struction Of war steamers. He said that a.navy
could only be needed for the defence Of our
coasts or our commerce, or for purposes Of CON-
quest and he thought we need it for none of
these
Since the war Of 1912, the opinion had been
growing, that we need navy. IL we do, how
much Of a navy do we need? Let us know
We dwell upon continent and not upon an
island. Our policy is peace, not war-defence,
not conquest.
The squadron system had grown into use,
but unwisely, he thought In the Mediterranean
the pretext for the squadron of one hundred
guns had passed away. The four Barbary
Powers no longer modest our commerce there.
But the squadron is continued. The Home
squadron, the Brazil squadron and the Pacific
squadron were all unnecessary.
Since 1912 we had probably expended three
hundred millions Of dollars in increasing our
navy, and all to little advantage to any persons
except the ship builders To build and let rot
appeared to be the routine Of our efforts in this
particular.
Mr.. Clingman responded briefly, and was
followed by Mr. Bocock, who spoke at length,
in reply to Mr.. Benton.
The debate was subsequently continued un-
der the five minute rule.

Of next week is the day on which our neigh
bors Of Rhode Island hold their election of
Governor, Lieutenant Governor with the other
State officers and members Of the Legislature,
The Democratic party, at the present moment,
ia greatly predominant in the State; the re-
versal OF Governor DORIS sentence shows very
clearly which party is in the ascendency, and
how firmly it has believed itself entrenched in
the power it holds.
The victory Of the Democracy in Rhode
Island would be almost uncontested, if it were
not for one thing-the dissatisfaction of the
people with the Administration, on account of
the support it gives to the Nebraska bill.
