Liverpool Dates by the City of Baltimore, to
December Sd.

The news is rather unimportant. England
it is said, has at last agreed to meet with the
other Powers, in Congress at Paris. A tele-
graphic despatch announces an insurrection
near Palermo, Sicily, under Baron. Benrenda,
at the head of FIVE or six hundred men.
Rumors prevailed of discussions in the Eng
lish ministry. Mr.. Matthews late British Consul
at Philadelphia, had been appointed Consul at
Odessa. The papers announced the sudden
death of DR.. Hussey, Professor of Ecclesiastical
History at Oxford reported in this country to
be DR.. Pusey.) The Prussian minister had
received orders to quit Bsrne, and the Swiss
Council had declined the suggestion of Napoleon
in regard to the release of the Neufchatel pris.
oners.
Russia and the Conference. The London
Post says that if Russia persists in asking for a
conference, it can only result in her confusion
and diplomatic defeat; for England, Austria,
Sardinia, and Turkey, and, we doubt not, also,
our ally France, will be prepared to maintain
the absolute spirit and meaning, and the very
text and letter, of the treaty drawn up by an
able French diplomatist, and signed with the pen
and quill of the Jardin des Plants. Of the uti-
mate result we have no fear, though second
conference had the power of altering the text or
meaning of the treaty of Paris of March 30-but
we maintain that a second conference has no such
power, and that a resident minister cannot vary
or alter the general act of Congress called to-
gether for the purpose of making a peace on
conditions and terms already discussed, delib-
erately signed, solemply ratified, aud the terms
acceded to and carried into effect by every
country except Russia.

That may be go; but l never


Mr.. Colfax, a Indiana, said that he had
heard something of this Anderson, introduced
into debate By bis colleague, and would state
to the House vkat he had heard. Anderson
had been sent into the northern part of the
State, and the Republican central committee
refnsed to allow him to speak, and it was pub
liely chsrged, and not denied, that he was hired
by he Democratic party, and sent by them to
that portion Of the State, for the purpose Of ma
king Republican speeches. Laughter
M. EogIish replied, that he had never heard
such = charge, and had no reason to believe
that Is was true. There was difference be-
tween She position occupied by the Democratic
party q the North and that of the South upon
the question Of "squatter sovereignty;" but it
was not 10 be regarded as material, as they all
agreed that the win of the people of a Territory
should prevail.
Mr.. Brooks, of South Carolina, made brief
explanation in regard to the remarks of Mr..
English. He observed, that whenever the will
of a maj ority of the settlers of Territory was
clearly sscertained, and they should come for
ward with Constitution, he, Democrat and
South Carolinian, would vote to admit them
as State, even though their Constitution
should reject Slavery. He repudiated squat
ter sovereignty" and did not believe that the
people could ever be brought to sustain it. AS
he had heretofore stated, he was not much of a
Democrat, but affiliated with that party because
he believed that their principles were more in
accordance with the Constitution than those OF
any other party. He would sustain that party
when right, but would not close his lips when
he believed they were wrong.
Mr.. Quitman, of Mississippi, then obtained
the floor.
And at o'clock the House adjourned.

the Slavery question. He denied emphatically
that there was difference of opinion among
any portion of the Democrats as to the con-
struction of the Kansas-Nebraska bill. They
all agreed that the people should be left free
TO regulate their institutions in their own way,
subject only to the Constitution. He believed
they could only legislate upon Slavery in their
sovereign capacity and Constitution making
power. There was no Squatter Sovereignty in
that bill, but he was willing to abide by the de-
cision of the court, as to the power of the Ter
ritories to legislate upon that subject.
Mr. Davidson entered into an argument to
show that Congress had not now, and never had,
the power to legislate on the vexed question of
Slavery in the Territories, expressing his belief
that the history in the Presidents message of
the troubles which had existed in the country
for the last year was true to the letter.

ENcAMPMENr OF RUNAWAY SLAVES BROKEN

Jackson Mssissippian, was discovered by some
young men, while out hunting in the woods be
tween the town of Bovina and Big Black River
The camp, though well stocked with provisions,
cooking utensils, &c, happened to be tenant
less at the time Of discovery. The hunters
however, soon encountered two of the runaways,
whom they soon succeeded in capturing, al
though the black outlaws were armed with
horse pistols. The conduct of the young men
was brave and laudable, and has led to the
