The CONDITION OF ITALY-In the Brit
ish House of Peers, on the night of the
Goth, Lord Lyndhurst gave notice that he
intended to move the following resolution !:
That the House should take into consideration
the state of Italy, and the continued military oc-
cupation by Austria Of extensive portions of that
country beyond her own limits, thereby creating
great and general dissatisfaction, disturbing the
political equilibrium and endangering the peace
of Europe.
Lord L. is eighty-four years of age, and
is yet said to be powerful and effective
speaker. On the night of the 2Sth, Lord
Clarendon asked that the resolution might
be postponed. He made the request, he
said, upon public grounds alone, and with
the conviction that by granting it Lord
Lyndhurst would best promote the cause
they were both anxious to aid In reply,
Lord Lyndhurst consented to defer his mo-
ton, but stated that he should watch with
considerable anxiety the course pursued by
the English Government to alleviate the in
tolerable grievances under which the people
of Italy labor. It is presumed that the Oh
Ject OF Lord Clarendon in asking for delay
on this subject, was to give Austria and the
other Italian powers time to consider the re-
monstrances that have been addressed to
them as the result Of the opinions expressed
at the recent conferences. Baltimore Amer

! WASHINGTON On DITs.-The latest and
prevailing rumors having circulation in
Washington are embodied in the following
items:
Lord Clarendon's answer was received on
Monday last. It is dated April 80, and was
sent to Mr.. Dallas, and by him commune
Gated to our Government. It occupies fifty
pages of diplomatic paper. Its tone is more
generally conciliatory and guarded than for
mer dispatches. After reyi ewing the whole
case, he discredits our testimony against the
Minister and Consuls, and prefers accepting
the statement of their own officials. On this
ground, with other new points suggested, he
declines complying with the request of the
American Government.
Our reply will be prepared Immediately,
but may require eight or ten days, as the
British replication took three months. It
] will be as brief as circumstances may allow,
with no unnecessary discussion of previous
Questions, and will conclude by putting pass
ports at the disposal of Mr. Champion
Little doubt is entertained that the British
Government will promptly retaliate by CIV
ing Mr.. Dallas his passports, thus leaving
diplomatic intercourse suspended, to be re-
newed only by explanation or friendly in
PREVENTION for amicable adjustment, which
may be easily accomplished. There is no
cause of war or grave embarrassment of pa
cifc relations in this fact.
Mr.. Sartiges has endeavored, notwith-
standing the supposed hostility of the French
Government, to effect satisfactory arrange
ment His endeavors are predicated on al
ledge apologies already made, which are
not regarded as sufficient.
Mr.. Champion explains the issue of vera
city by saying Mr.. Clayton called on him
to examine some old English maps on which
Ruatan and Jamaica were designated and
colored IN the same way, whereupon Mr.
Clayton admitted that both were evidently
British possessions. It is very clear how
the misapprehension might have occurred in
that instance, but the explanations does not
cover the points involved in Mr.. Crittenden's
and Mr.. Fish's corroborations. It is sup
posed now that he will make publication
All the Foreign Legations have determin-
ed not to recognize Padre Will socially or
officially. Senior Marcolette now asserts
his claim to the British Mission from Near
aqua, on the faith of a former commission
from the deposed governments, and it is be-
lieved that he will be recognized His pro-
test, addressed to the different Legations, is
not yet completed. 1t may be introduced
in the Senate debate.

the plenipotentiaries generally heartily a

resigned.
However much I feel obliged to friends

and however DESTROYS [ may feel to serve
them in such capacity, circumstances rem

cline the appointment. Please communi-
cate this to the members of the Society, that
they may be prepared at the next meeting
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resig-
nation of Gen. CHAPMAN.
Very respectfully, your ob't serv.,

NICARAGUA AFFAIRS.

The following is synopsis of the debate
that took place in the Senate, on Thursday,
after the reception of the Presidents Mes
sage on Nicaragua affairs -
Mr. Crittenden said he regarded the sub
ject as a very important one, which ought
not to pass from the consideration Of the
Senate into the hands of the committee
without remark. He had seldom, if ever,
listened to a message from the Executive
which was fraught with more absorbing in
terest, or which might lead to such serious
consequences. In few weeks time the
country would be agitated from one end to
the other on this subject, and it might re-
suit in our being involved it war. If we
were to have war, he wanted it to be accep-
ted or denounced by Senators in an open,
manly manner, and not have course Of
policy pursued by which we should 60 on
step by step blindly until we fall into the
pit The government of Nicaragua, which
the President has officially recognized, was
a thing of yesterday, as it were-at any
rate, the shoes were not yet worn out upon
the feet of those who had wrought this new
revolution, and already the Executive had
become satisfied Of its permanency, and its
capacity to discharge its duties as a nation
in the great family of nations.
This seemed to him very hasty conclu-
sion to arrive at in matter of so much conse-
quence; the revolution having been effected,
too, as the President admits, by the co-opera-
ton of our own countrymen who went there
IL.
this the national prudence which had hith-
erto guided our course? What said Jack

mission into the Union, even after we were
assured of her ability to govern herself; and
when she had, by repeated victories, estab'

sage gave thorough, profound, and patri
otto rebuke to every principle in the pres

FROM KANSAS Westport, Muy A.
The latest news from the Investigating Com

were to be arrested. To-day, the arrests
were to be made with the aid of the United
