MASSACHUSETTS AN. STATE COUNCIL.

BOSTON, tuesday March, 4, 1856.
The American Council Of Massachusetts, commenced
a special session in this city to-day. About three
hundred delegates were present. The Council organ
lied at 10 a. IN. and adjourned until the afternoon,
when the delegates to the National Convention CON-
menced to explain their course and position in that
body with regard to the nomination of candidates for
President and Vice-President.
Mr.. A. A. Richmond of Adams, delegate at large,
was the first speaker. After giving his account Of the
proceedings, and speaking Of his opposition to the
PLATFORM he said that he remained in the Convention
until they nominated man for the Presidency whom
he had least expected 70 see nOminated-one so far
as be had yet been informed, who is not identified
with the American party. He left the Convention
in than in anger, for be could not be in
favor Of the Springfield platform, and yet support the
nomination of supposed to be opposed to that plat
form. If he could have assented to the nomination
without sacrifice Of principle he would have done it
willingly. He was still warmly in favor of American
principles, but il for the Council to decide whether
he mir. Richmond was to be forced TO cut aloof from
his old friends, and also whether the American party
lives or dies.
Mr.. S. NJ Allen, one of the district delegates said
that before he joined the American party be was
Union Wbg, and an admirer of Daniel Webster. He
preferred Judge Mclean of Ohio the American
candidate believing him to be man the Americans
Of Massachusetts would support and one who could
carry the Union. He believed the proestatons Of the
Southern delegates that they would 60 home and work
for the election of Mr.. Fillmore were inslncere, and
expressed the opinion that they would labor for the
of the Democratic candidate and thus sustain
their Nebraska platform.
Mr.. A. i. Ely of the Third District was the next
speaker He said that Mr. Fillmore not his
choice. He voted for Commodore Stockton and Gar
ret Davis and after the nomination he home dis
satisfied but upon reconsiderng the whole ground be
felt it his duty to support the nomination. He made
some statements in reference to Mr.. FilmOres devo
ton to American principles and announced his adhe-
sion TO the nominations.
Mr.. j. NJ. Keith of the Fourth District followed in
favor of indorsing the nominations. lie believed that
neither of the candidates would the nights OF the
North invaded.

THE LATEST NEWS,
RECEIVED BY
MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.
THE EUROPEAN ADVICEs.

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, March 4, 1856
The foreign mails by the America arrived this
morning They contain nothing concerning our
difficulties with England of any moment.
The advices of our foreign Ministers induce the
conviction that peace will be contaminated at Paris
by full understanding between France, Russia
and Austria. Although France may at the outset
favor the demands of England, the probability is
that when they are claimed persistently, France
will decline the further prosecution of the war on
their account
So far as the Baltic arrangements are concerned,
England is almost alone interested, and France is
known to be indispOsed to severe eXactons on that
point Russia desires peace, having been precipi-
tated into war somewhat prematurely, and so does
France. having achieved the contamination of
prestige.
No confident opinion is expressed as to the length
Of the conferences at Paris, some supposing three
weeks and Others three months. The sentiment
entertained in British political circles and shared
by Lord Clarendon is that peace may produce an
overthrow Of the Ministry.
If Mr. Champion should Immediately send the
required explanation in anowoI ~ Mr' Marcy's de-
mand. and Lord Clarendon be still detained at
Paris, Mr. Addington, the permanent Foreign
Secretary, will doubtless answer for the British
Government under instructions from Lord Palmers-
ron. There is an evident disposition in England to
create divisions here through the influence OF the
press or Congress, and thus weaken the ground OF
the Administration. Lord PalmerstOn is under
stood to be prepared for any point short of Mr.
Champions departure, which involves the whole
present issue.
No apprehension is now felt as to Mr. Dallas $
recepton. While Mr. Buchanan has not written
that he would withdraw before his successors pre-
sentation he has said positively that he must be at
home by the LIST of April for attention to his private
affairs. 1t is not improbable, therefore, that he
may sail before Mr. Dallas arrives.

MEXICO.
AND COMMANDMENT
AT VERA CRUZ.
From The Nes Orleans Piedyune, Feb. D.

FROM TIE Nep- Orleans PiedyHae, Feb D.
The steamship Texas, Capt. Forbes, reached Vera
Cruz on her late trip hence the 20th and et on her
return on the 22d to which date have papers and
correspondence from that port. From the capital we
have nothing yet as communications between II
and Vera Cruz are reported tO be interrupted
We have news of q somewhat exciting and extra
ordinary character-even for Mexico-by this mail.
Mr. Da Costa, the Purser of the Texas, favors us
with items respecting it, He reports that the Castle
Of Ulua pronounced in favor Of Ilaro TamariI on
the night of the 2h and on the 18th notified the city
that if did not surrender by noon it would be bon-
barded.
At l2l o'clock the city not having surrendered, the
castle opened fire on IT, and continued for an hour.
Two persons were wounded, and some little damage
was done TO buildings.
On the 18th, the French frigate Penelope came up
from SaCrifcos and anchored between the castle and
the city. Nothing further occurred until the 18th, when
the war steamer Guerrero in to tow out the ma
one ship Guadalupe, and then the castle fired into
her for fifteen minutes five shot taking effect killing
the lst Lieutenant and four men, and wounding seven
Others. Meantime bomb from Fort Santiago fell IN
the castle, blowing up an ammunition chest, killing and
wounding sixteen men. On the 2Oth at 81 p. IN, the
castle surrendered TO the city.
Before the of the firing the shipping
took refuge at SacrcOe but returned to their anchor
age on the 2lst. .
The national vessel Guadalupe and the steamship
Ben Franklin remained at their mOOrngs.
Most of the families left for villages in the neighbor
hood during the firing.
The circumstantial accounts Of the affair will be
found in the subjoined communications, which we re-
ceived " the Texas OurcorespOndent sends US the

The correspondence on the Central-Amer-
,sn question was published in London IN
sr Mr. Buchanan's responsibility and su-
rervsion for the purpose of correcting the
srors disseminated through the British
press and Of enlighteniDg Parliament as to the
real facts fthe case, inasmucb as the ministerial
leaders had under various pretexts declined to
allow the papers to 90 before the public. 1t
was upon this Information that CObden's
speech on the subject was founded which
afterwsrd called out the reply Of Lord Pal
merstOn with the reasons for declining the
publication. He said that so far as the Cen
tral-AmcTican question was concerned the oher
of arbitration had been rece ltly renewed TO the
United States, and therefore it would be unjust
10 as to publish the correspondence without an
answer upon that point. And in regard to the en-
Istments the last dispatch of Mr.. Marcy had been
bat recently received, and it would hardly be fair
TO the British Government to publish the preceding
correspondence without the reply which was in
tended
These apologies, though adrOt, do not disclose
the controlling causes for refusing the calls for
Information. Lord PalmerstOn and bis colleagues
sought to prejudice option in England, by con-
eerted movement through the press, before these
questions were canvassed in Parliament at all; and
the object since then, has been to confirm that
One-sided impression. by Withholding any evidence
that might by possibility produce contrary effect.
In tbis respect the conduct of the British Govern
nent has neither been candid nor upright, and the
contrast on our side, by full exposition of the
whole discussion, is as marked and manly as the
other is mean and unworthy.
There is every reason to believe that Lord
Clarendon will address a reply to Mr.. Marcy's
Dispatch, requesting the recall of Mr. Champion,
% soon as the explanations of the latter on some
paDts Of fact shall have been received. In all
bio interviews with Mr. Buchanan on this subject,
Lord Clarendon never distinctly indicated what
course the Ministry would adopt, and therefore
Dir. Buchanan has been chary of expressing any
inferentia opinion on this point The impression
in other quarters is that the request of this Gov
eminent will be denied. But this is a speculative
opinion. INDEX.
