pool, April Tth, and from Havre, April
9Th. Affairs all over the continent, as
well as in England, are in a very " mixed"
condition.
i A Vienna letter states that the publlca-
tion in the Paris MoHiteHr Of parts Of the
correspondence Of Napoleon !. has given
such great ohense to the Emperor Of
Austria that he has directed the Austrian
Minister in Paris to ask Count Walewski for
an explanation.
The ancient animosity between tha.
/ French and Austrians is reViving, and
trouble is anticipated
A duel was fought in the enVirons Of the
city of Paris by two American gentlemen,
Mr.. Calhoun, of South Carolina, Secretary
of Legation, and Mr.. Brevoort, Of New
York. They fought with pistols, and
am informed that difficulty having arisen
after the first Gre, the seconds inierfered
and arrested the conflict. / refrain from
further history of the affair, as l have
understood it is to be officially published.
The duel originated in a conflicting admira-
ton for the fair sex. Mr.. Calhoun was
the challenging party, having been struck
by his adversary.
A French journalist, in letter written
from Naples, states that Orsini on his trial
made the alarming declaration (which no
jonrnal was allowed 70 print) that there
are one thousand Italians who have sworn
to strike Louis Napoleon ere the year 1858
shall pass" and that they would follow
him without cessation. These men, aeeor-
ding to the writer, are members Of the
long existent secret society,"" Of which the
Emperor was also member.
Marshal Pelissier has been appointed
French Ambassador at London.
1t was said that several Of the Crimean
Generals would accompany Pelissier to
London for the purpose Of being presented
to the Queen.
ESGLASD.-Ths work Of taking in the
Atlantic cable was proceeding with dis
patch on both the Niagara and AgameN-
non, and the whole was expected 70 be on
board by the 10th of June,
II Is Intended that the two vessels, which
are expected to be completely ready BY the
10th inst, shall before commencing 70 lay
! The csUle. rrpceed to sea, and In the deep
water about .hfse hundred miles from the
Irish coast TeheaFse a series Of experiments
in paying ont and hauling in, and put to q
practical test several suggestions aud appli-
ances that have been proposed BY various
Ingenious persons. The two ships will
then return to England and repor, progress,
and should the experiments show that i'm
provement or alteration is desirable, there
will be time to get Il effected so as 70 ena-
ble the expedition 10 make their final start
at the most favorabls time Of the year.
Admiralty instructions had been received
at Woolwich, directing the necessary prep
aratious TO be made for the Immediate com
mission Of the paddle-wheel steam sloop
GOTgan, to be employed with the Agameni-
HOn in paying out the Atlantic Telegraph
cable. n
A vessel had arrived at Liverpool with
the FIRST cargo Of produce from the river
Niger.
On the 9Th Of April considerable anxi-
T ETY. was manifested on the river for the
safety Of the Leriaiian steamship, moored
of Deptiord, in consequence Of the break
ing Of two Of ber bow mooring chains
Some steamers which laid between the
LeUidihaa and the shore assisted in check
ing the Gaming Of the ship inwards. With
all expedition large hawser was laid out
/ to the Dreadnaught, and three powerful
steam tugs were brought to bear on her
port bow in hauling the ship into her
former position. Fortunately, the sQnan
was Of short duration, but the weather con
tinued boisterous, and the tugs were en-
gagged until late in the evening in keeping
the bow out. She sustained not the slight
est injury, and, as far as could be learned,
mono Of the vessels that were lying inside
/, Of her were damaged. IL should be stated
that the mooFings at the stern remained
6rm. Tn greatest expedition was used
in getting the Leriathan ready for sea, and
her fittings up we're on a magnificent scale.
There IN no political news Of Importance
from England
/. SPArN.-Two ships-ofthe-line and a war
. schooner had been ordered to proceed i'm
msdiately from FerrOl 10 reinforce The
Spanish squadron in the Gulf Of Mexico.
: Abolition OF SLAVERY m THE SPiSIsH
COLoNIEs-The Nord has received dis
patch from Madrid, Of March 2s, announc-
ing that the Spanish Government has pre-
sented to the Cortes a law for the aboli-
, ton Of slavery in her colonies. Should
i this measure be adopted Il is probable that
/. the prosperity Of Cnba would suffer fromit
for a certain time, but the colony would be
less exposed to The fllibusterism Of the
Southern States Of America, which desire
eagerly the annexation Of another slave
= State, and would be less tempted BY the
conquest of free State. On the other
side, It may be that the fear to see their
e slaves emancipated, may lessen the relnct-
? ance Of the Cuban planters for annexation
: to the United States A third hypothesis,
e as admissible as the two others. is that the
Spanish Government has not presented the
law above mentioned, and that il has been
; mistaken for the Portuguese government
