LATEST FROM EURoPE-The mail steamship
America, from liverpool via Halifax, arrived
at Boston, on the lst inst, at J o'clock, p. IN.
The Captain of the America, says there is no
truth in the report OF their having seen a stea-
mer, on the the third day out of the America
from Liverpool, heading towards St. Georges
Channel, as was reported fran Halifax. The
America reports having passed. on Wednes-
day, Feb. 20, in lat. so Is, lon. D 81. n large

ed to have been the Fulton. The America en-
countered large fields. of ice during the voyage
and on the 18th ult., passed. a large field, aud
clear water could not be seen in thenorth from
the masthead. The Americas Canptain SAYS
that If the Pacific got into the ice will vet be
heard from.
London, Feb. 16.-Count Cavour arrived In
Paris yesterday. The sudden fall in the Eng
fish funds yesterday was announced by tele-
graph to the Paris Bourse, and produced some
thing like 4 panic. The cause was not KIN own
at first, and reports were circulated attributing
the decline Of the English funds to a complete
rupture with the United States; to disturban-
ces in the large towns; to the fall of the Pal
merston Cabinet, and to other improbable cir
cumstances. The alarm diminished towards
the latter part of the day.
The Assemble National contains an article
in which an attempt is made to inspire distrust
concerning the defensive works in the course
of construction at Portsmouth. 1t saws they
cannot be intended as a protection against Ell
Their Russian or an American feet.
1t is said that a difference has arisen in the
Sardianian Cabinet on the question of conces-
sion to the Holy See. The Prime Minister is
IN favor of this policy, while the Minister OF
the Interior contends that it would be q dis
play of feebleness not warranted by the
circumstances.

1MpoRTANTF RoM NICARAGUA.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The steamer Star of
the West, from San Juan, arrived this morn
ing. She left Key West on the 23d inst.
The Star of the West brings s33o,Oo0 in
treasure, 100000 of which is consigned to
Messrs. Drexel & Co.
On the 10th inst. a decree was promulgated
in the city of Grenada, claiming and annexing
the whole Mosquito territory as an integral
portion of Nicaragua.
Shortly afterwards the diplomatic corps,
headed by Col. Kinney, arrived at Grenada
| from San Juan, and had an audience with Gen.
Walker. On the following day, Cot. Kinney
was placed under arrest, and subsequently,
banished from the territory Of Nicaragua. He
was sent under the charge Of Major Martin to
the Atlantic seaboard.
The decree Of President Rivas, Of Walkers
government, dated Grenada. Feb. 10th. de-
clares that the title of the Republic Of Nicara-
qua to the Mosquito Territory is notorious and
incontestable.
1t declares also that Cai. Kinney, Shepherd
Haley, and all persons claiming under them
are guilty of an attempt against the integrity
of Central America.
Eel Nicaraguense, Walkers official organ,
published at Grenada, says that Col. Kinney,
at his interview with Col. Walker, proposed a
peaceable division of Nicaragua into two States
one to be called Mosquito. Walker declined
the proposition. Kinney then offered his ser
vices to the new Republic, which were also de-
clined, Walker telling him that his antecedent
precluded his holding an official position under
the government Of Nicaragua.
subsequently another interview was had,
shortly after which Kinney was arrested and
held a prisoner. lie was afterwards ordered
to leave the State, and he departed on the 9Th
of February for Virgin Bay, then around to
San Juan and New Orleans.
Col. Louis Schlesinger had gone to San.
Jose as COMMISSIONS OF Nicaragua, to demand
explanation from the government Of Costa Ri
ca, regarding its refusal to hold intercourse
with the new republic.
Adyices have been received from San Saliva.
dor by Walker. Gen. Cabanas was there, en-
deaYoring to incite the San Salvadoreans Il
hostiltics against Nicaragua. The people o
the former country were highly incensed a
gainst Walker, and it was feared that they
would adopt measures toproToke q war.
y rumor OF aleague, offensive and defensive
between Costa Rica, Guatemala, Hondurasane

dressed warmly in shawls and furs, with a
babe of perhaps two years old, dressed in only

around its neck, with arms entirely bare and
looking as red as a boiled lobster. 1t was OBJ

IMPORTANT FRox WAsHIsGToS.-Mr. harcy's
final despatch to Mr.. Buchanan, of December
2Sth, was contained in the documents sent to
the Senate on last Wednesday. 1t demands
explicitly of the British government the recall
Of Mr.. Champion, the British Minister resident
at Washington.
Mr.. Marcy writes :-HHis connection with
that affair, the enlistment, has rendered him
an unacceptable representative of her Britain
mic Majesty near this government, and you are
directed By the President TO ask her Majesty's
government to recall him."
Mr.. Marcy also asks tn. recall of Consuls
Barclay, at New York, Rowecraft, at Cincin-
natl, and Matthews, at Philadelphia. In ref
erence to the former, be says ssThe improper
conduct of MI. Barclay, in the case of the
barque Maury, has justly given offence to the
commercial community with which he resides,
and with which he has official connection"

SPECIAL MESSAGE OF THE PEEsIDEST.-On
the 18th ait, President Pierce transmitted to
Congress a special message, embodying a COM
recommending an appropriation of Three Mil
lions Of Dollars for the manufacture of addi-
tional arms with all the modern improvements,
and for providing arms and munitions; and
also that all the late improvements should be
applied to the implements of war now in the
possession of either the General Government
or in the custody OF the States. By carrying
these recommendations into practice, it is
thought that our means Of defence, in any
contingency that may arise, would be improv
ed to an extent sufficient TO place us on an
equal footing with any hostile nation. On the
reception of this message, much excitement
ensued, and an animated and interesting dis
cussion arose in both Houses. On the 9th,
in the Senate, Mr.. Weller, from the Military
Committee, reported q bill for increasing the
efficiency of the army, in accordance with the
recommendations of the message. 1t was the
like document the friends of the Admins
tration think otherwise, and say if the Presi-
dent hcd any bellicose intentions, he would
have announced them boldly and fcarIessly.
But, unless some serious apprehensions of a
war, arising out of the unsettled state of our
foreign relations, are entertained by the Ma
tional Executive and its advisers, we can see
no necessity for the recommendations con-
tanned in the message.

THE BRITIsH ENLISTMENT CoSTGovERsY.-
The official correspondence in relation TO the
British enlistment cases, and the violation of
our neutrality laws, has been published, but
its great length precludes US from presenting
it to our readers. The correspondence shows
that the subject has been earnestly and ably
discussed on both sides, but we think the IN
prejudiced reader viii scarcely finish the vol
luminous examination of the subject made in
Mr.. Marcy's closing despatch, without gaining
tho conviction that upon all the substantial
points in the dispute the American view is
fully sustained, and that the British Govern
ment and its agents have been guilty of 4 seri-
Gus breach of international law and c~ourtesr
for which as yet no adequate apology has been
rendered.
An early part OF the correspondence cx-
plains the circumstances under which a auali-
fled expression of satisfaction with the expla-
nations afforded by the British Government
was expressed by Mr.. Buchanan, and which
he's lately been alluded to by Lord Clarendon
in the house of Parliament. Mr.. Buchanan,
under instructions from Mr.. Marcy, had call
ed the attention of the British Government to
the violation Of our neutrality laws. On the
10Th of July last, Lord Clarendon, in a note
to Mr.. Buchanan, expressed regret that the
said laws had been infringed, and asserted
that the iIiraction was in contravention of his
instructions. He admitted that there were
persons who wished to enlist as volunteers and
that the British Government had appointed a
rendezvous within the British possessions for
that purpose, claiming this to be a right, upon
the preteXt that the advertisements and re-
cruitments were conducted by self-constituted
and unauthorized agents. He denied the ac-
countability of his Government. Mr.. Buchan-
an expressed satisfaction at this assurance, not
knowing then that, at that very day, Mr.. Mar
cy was writing of e~nlistments, under British
agents and completely of British officials
Upon learning this completely of the British
minister and other officials, Mr.. Buchanan in
a note addressed to Mr.. Marcy, dated October
3, 1855, remarks: 81 need scarcely say that.

Mr.. Donaldson having received a majority OF
the votes for the Vice Presidency, was decla
red duly nominated for that position.
On motion, and amid much applause, the
nomination WAS made unanimous.
After a number of short speeches, and a.
mong the rest, one from Mr.. Donnelson, Mr..
McCune, of V, said that the National Council
had adopted a platform which was satisfacto-
~ neither to the North nor to the South.
They had now a platform which was s~atisfac-
tory TO both, in the shape of Fillmore and
Donnelsoh. He moved that this Convention
repudiate all platforms. The motion was sec
onded, and thereupon a great scene of confu-
sion took place, in the midst of which the
vote was taken on the motion, but it was I'M
possible for any one to decide whether 1t was
adopted or rejected. The President was IN
able to tell, but he thought it was lost. On
the other hand, the Virginians contended that
it was adopted. In the midst Of the confu-
sion, a motion was made to adjourn sine die,
and il prevailed.

FOR PRESIDENT,

ANOREW JACKSON ooNNELsON.

OF TENNESSEE.
By a reference TO the closing proceedings of
the late Philadelphia Convention, which will
be found in another portion OF our paper, it will
be seen that the above ticket was selected by
that body.
Mr.. Fillmore is a man of known ability and
Of the best integrity, and while he occupied
the Executive chair of the Nation, was regard
ed as a safe, conservate President.
M. Donnelson was, as an orphan boz, reared
by Gen. Jackson, and is held in the highest
estimation by those who know him best. sold
Hickory must have had the fullest confidence
in him, as he made him his aid in war, his pri-
vate secretary and confidential adviser during
the whole of his military career, and it is said
tina. the old hero was in a great measure in
debted to Mr.. Donnelson for whatever of sue
cess attended his Administration.
