THE NEWS.

The arrival of the Atlantic, with one week s
later dates from the Seat of war; confirms the
news of the death of the Emperor of Russia, and
the ascension to the throne of his eldest son,
Alexander II. His manifesto, of Which only
the most interesting parts are published in the
European journals, DECLARES that he will do all
in his power to maintain Russia in the high
position she holds, and that he will pursue the
policy of Peter, Catherine, Alexander, and
his deceased father.
The news of the Cars death has Been re-
ceived in England with great rejoicing, as
coarse and vulgar as it was ungenerous. In
France, on the contrary as soon as the news ar
rived, Louis Napoleon postponded party at
the Tuileries. How much more becoming a
noble and magnanimous enemy?
The other portions of Europe are tumultuous
and restless. Switzerland has broken out in
to some ominous disturbance. 1t would be a
singular coincidence if that little alpine re-
public, for the second time, as in '4S,sounded
the first call which started Europe into reyo
luton.

KANSAS AFFAIRS.

The Free State Constitutional Convention
peka, so far concluded its labors on the liih
ult. as to adopt Constitution. According To
provision in the Bill of Rights, "Slayery
shall not exist in this State" and ull slaves
are to be removed from its borders previous
to the 9TH of July, 1851.
An attempt was made by the "National
Democrats in the Convention to secure the
passage of the following resolutions, in friend
ly recognition of the principles of "squatter
sovereignty, to witt
"Resolref. That this Convention approve the
principles Of non-interyention in the local affairs
Of Kansas, as enunciated by the Nebraska-Kansas
Act, and that this Convention recommend TO the
people Of Kansas strict observance Of the prnci-
pies laid down In said act"
Through much persuasion on the part Of
Vol. Lane and others, aud the assurance that
its passage would secure the friendly COOP
GRAFTON of Douglas, il WINS carried by u ma
joriiy of two votes; but a reconsideration was
afterwards moved and, after speeches by Dr.
Robinson and Mr.. Emery, il was carried and
the resolution defeated by majority of six.
Among the provisions of the Constitution
as finally adopted is one fixing the boundaries
of the State in accordance with those laid
down in the Kansas Nebraska Bill, extend.

son shannon was made its president. On
taking the chair he made speech denouu-

bill has been found against McCren Mt
Lcavenworth, for murder in the first degree.
This was accomplished by The most outra-
geous packing of the grand jury by Judge
Lecompte. The Jury as ii stood before, had
five for bill and eleven against; the judge
at this session added to the jury seven men
known to be against McCrea, and thus Sc
cured his object This corrupt proceeding
Of the Judge caused the greatest exasperation
Mt Leavenworth. Although 1t is notorious
that McCrca acted entirely in selfdcfence
there is not the slightest chance that he will
get justice under judge who is determined
on his conviction for murder by any and all
means. Great excitement exists in Platte
county. Missouri, concerning the return OF
Mr. George s. Park 10 his residence in Park
vile. Il will be remembered that MIR. Park
formerly edited the Parkvile Luninary, and
because he would not counienance the mis-
deeds Of Slringfcll Nv and his band Of border
ruffiaus, his press was destroyed his type.
thrown into the river, aud he was compelled
to fee for his life. He has since returned and
declared his intention to reside ut Parkville.
A meeting OF the rufiians was soon after
held, and committee appointed TO go To
7 Parkville aud demand the delivery Of MIR
7 Park into their hands. The citizens OF Park.
vile met publicly aud resolved to stand by
Mr.. Park to the last extremity. Threats were
made to burn aud destroy the town, when the
citizens organized in large force to protect IL
and held a meeting, at which thry resolved
to defend IL TO the last At this meeting
Stringfellow and his band Of rufiians cam,
I from Platte city and attempted to break nI
the meeting but did not succeed. Here tn,
matter rests for the present The most in
tense excitement is said to prevail Throughout
the whole region.
