Weekly Clarksville chronicle. [volume] (Clarksville, Tenn.) 185?-1857, 1857-06-12

FROM EURopE.-From the papers by the
New York, from Glasgow, we gather some
items of interest:
In the House of Commons, on the even
ing of May Is, Lord PalmerstOn was the
bearer of a message from the Queen, sta
ting that she had agreed to marriage pro-
posed between the Princess Royal and his
Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Prus-
STA, and asking such provision for her
eldest daughter as became the dignity of
the crown and the honor of the country.
Lord Palmerston proposed an address,
assuring her Majesty that the House would
at an early day take her message into con-
sideration. Mr.: Disraeli seconded the mo-
ton, which was carried unanimously.
| On the same event petition was read
from Lady Bulwer Lytton, complaining
that document of high legal value, mailed
at post Office in Wales, had never reached
her, and asking investigation.
Another feet ofChinese pirates had been
destroyed by the English in the neighbor-
hood of St. Johns Island
The London Times recommends thatthe
dowry to be given to the Princess Royal
"be paid down" and intimates that "ths
sum which has been mentioned as revenue
is not much less than the capital sum that
will be proposed by her Majestys minis
tiers.
A private letter from Naples of the 10th,
mentions that for some days hopes were
entertained in that city of the resumption
of diplomatic relations with England; that
Lord Clarendon appeared to have manifes-
ted desire to that effect, but that "the ex-
igenoies" he put forth have prevented the
realization of these hopes. "The King OF
Naples, the letter says, "caused it to be
made known in London that, in his eyes
they implied an idea ofinteryention, which
was inconsistent with the dignity and the
interests of an Independent State-an in
tervention opposed to the principles pro-
fessed by the English nation itself, and
contrary to the preceding declarations Of
the Western Powers"
