Three Days Later from Europe
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER ARABIA
HALIFAX, June 2S.--Tne steamer Arabia,
arrived here this afternoon, from Liverpool
With dates to the 18th.
The Arabia saw a steamer, supposed Il
have hecn the Niagars, in lat. 70 %, lon
So, but too distant to speak her. Tue wea
tier during the passage was generally hne,
though not quite up to tie average OF June
weather.
Debates Of a very conciliatory nature on
the American question had taken place 10
both Houses Of Parliament. The impression
was that the squadron would probably be
withdrawn from the Cuban waters and be
sent TO the Coast of Africa.
The right Of search and visitation is entire
~ abandoned.
There is nothing later from India.
The news from the Continent is OF OF L1uch
Importance.
The propeller New York, before reported
ashore, was rapidly breaklog up and very
little Of her cargo had been saved.
The steamer Indian Empire sailed from
Galway on the 18TH, but got on the rocks In
the harbor. She was soon released, however,
and sailed the next day.
1t il ruwored that Russia is increasing
her navy.
The instruction in Gambia has been sub
dued.
A company has been formed for construct
ing Geographic line between Engiand and
India, via the Red Sea, with u capital of
IL 100000.
The Euglish Parliament has been discus
sing pesitiUn from Jamaica touching the
Spanish slave trade. Ii was conteuded that
the present threatening aspect of affairs In
the West was occasioned by the long failure
of Spain to fulfil her treaty obligations.
The Earl of MaImesbury said that from a
conversation had with the American Minis
ter there was every reason to believe some
understanding would be had for clearl y
verifying the nationality Of vessels without
risking a breach Of international law.
lie also referred to the support given by
England and Spain III resisting the policy
Of the United States, for the annexation Of
Cuba 10 Span; out said if she still persisted
in the slave trade it was highly probable
that England would exchange her present
unity with Spain for indifference.
Earl Grey said he thought that Fra oce
aud the United States were soley responsible
for renewal Uf the slave trade. With re-
gard to the national law, so far as he IN
derstoOd it, an American vessel filled with
slaves might leave Africa withou, England
being able to Interfere, Notwithstanding a
perfect knowledge OF her character was had.
Lord Aberdeen endorsed this definition.
In the House Of Commons, the question Of
the outrages committed Oh American vessels
10 the Gulf of Mexico, was discussed. The
drift Of the speeches was, that when the mat
ter was fully understood on both sides, the
difficulty would be amicably arranged.
