morning, bringing dates from Havrs and
southampton to the 18th inst.
All hopes for the missing mail steamship
Pacific have subsidized in England, it being
believed that the unfortunate vessel has been
crushed in the ice.
Letters from Norway announce that the
Russians have made good use of the winter
in adding to the defences of the White Sea.
The bar to the entrance Of Archange has
been rendered impracticable for vessels Of
large size, and boats Of small draught OF
water would be exposed to cross-fre from
batteries on both shores.
The Journal de ST. Petersburoh, Of the I'd

Immediately after Easter, he should call the
attention Of the House TO the disputes be.
tween her Majesty's government and the
governmental the United States, with respect
to Central America. In reference to the
Bay Islands, Mr., Gibson said it appeared
that certain islands on the coast of Central
America had been created into a British
colony. He wished to know, therefore. from
the Colonial Secretary, whether the Queens

colonJ and ifso, what was the date of that
warrant, and whether it would be laid before
Parliament also, what was the date of the
appointment Of the presiding magistrate of

COUNT ORLOFF.
The Paris correspondent OF the London
Times. writing under date of March 9Th. thus
speakes of Count OrolF
Count Orluff continues to be, will not say
the admire OF Nil admirers, but certainly the
observed Of all observers. The moment he
makes, his appearance in sdl0on he is sure
TO be the ceutre Of q numerous group Of both
sexes, who scan every feature and watch
every expression Of his countenance Com
manding in his person, he stands without
flnching the artillery of the many eyes. many
OF them brilliant ones, that are pointed at
him, and so watchful is the curiosity Of the
behclders that many Of the reports one finds
floating the following day may be traced to
differences hastily formed after such scru.
tiny.
The hero Of the moment, whose name
awakens associations Of 80 peculiar kind,
bears himself we'll through the ordeal Ills
high forehead, from which the iron-gray hair
is only half pushed aside. but not careessly;
the regular and marked features, OF which
sterness seems to be the most prominent
characteristic; the long and thick moustache.
and last, not least, the costly diamonds which
compose the three stars which decorate his
left breast, and which might make the Duke
Of Brunswick himself grow pale, If anything
could produce such an effect, all mark him
out as the object of curiosity. He seldom
smiles, or, if he does, his smiles, the moment
appear, hide themselves in the hair of his
upper lip, as ii ashamed to be seen at play
on q countenance cast in SO stern q mould.
The Austria american Commercial Com.
Pdny
VIENNA, March 8.
About two months since you were informed
that the relations between Austria and the
United States had not only greatly improved,
but that something was passing between
them which was kept from the knowledge of
the public. The mystery is at length cleared
up. An Austro-American Commercial
Company is about to be formed and the Mi
Disterial Austria explains that the principal
aim Of the establishment will be TO open
direct trade between the United States and
Austria $50 that there shall no longer be such
heavy expenses for agency, warehousing, &C."
1t need hardly be said that the Austrians
wish to import their cotton, coffee, &C., di.
rect from America instead Of getting them
second handed from Liverpool or London.
Nothing has yet been opt My said of treaty
OF commerce between Austria and the Uni
ted States. but there is strong impression
on my mind that at no distant period one will
be concluded. Can il be that Austria is
endeavoring to play of the United States
against England?
II is related that when the Empress is
confined there will be further amnesty in
Hungary.
A person who is on extremely intimate
terms with Prince Gortschakuff, this morning
related that the Russian diplomatsts seems
10 be convinced he shall at no distant period
be Minister for Foreign Affairs. Either
Prince Gortschakotf deceives himself or Rus.
sia is not seriously inclined TO make peace

A letter from Rome, of the 5th, in the
Debats, says :-"Rumors are current that
Cardinal Alherd will go TO Paris 20 repre-.
sent the Pope rs godfather to the infant or
The Emperor at tho ceremony Of the baptism.
but others think il probable that there will
not bo any special envoy, the Nuncio in
Paris executing the mission. On Sunday
last being the fourth Sunday in Lent the
Pope gave his benedction 10 the Golden
Rose, at the Sistine Chapel 1t is said that
it will be sent to the Empress of the French.
II is very ancient rite Of the Church. ,ha;
the Pope should, on the day just mentioned
bless golden rose, which il is a custom to
send TO sovereign. 10 a celebrated church,
or to some eminent parsonage. II it be not
presented TO any Que, it receives a second
benedicton the year following. This pious
present was substituted for the gold and sil
yer keys. and for the pieces cut with file
from the chains which are said to have bound
the hands Of St. Peter, which were formerly
