TnE E1casATIoN AT Roxg.--The excavation
in the Via Latina have led to the discovery Of
two other scpulchral chambers. The second,
IN particular. is in a wonderful state Of pre-
sersation. The marble tombs are covered
with sculptures Of great beauty, but what is
Of still more decided interest is the paintings
with which the roof and sides are ornament
ed, and which are as fresh and as bright as
Il only executed yesterday. Some Of the
compartments contain animal and human
heads Of a perfection nearly equal TO that of
the best canoes. They would be Just as
they we're the FIRST day had not some Nisigoth
secretly detached one of the heads. Ii is
Thought that the Roman Government will

There are most alarming reports current
IN Paris as to general rising Of the Chris
tan population, not only on the frontier OF
Albania, but throughout seryia, Bosnia,
Ihessaly, Macedonia, Koumelia---in fact,
throughout all European Turkey. Whether
Russia is trying desperate stroke, or whcth-
er It be the spontaneous impulse Of long com
pressed Impotence Of Ottoman rule, time
alone will tell; but the Greek soldiers are
deserving en- n.asse over the frontier, to form
guerrilla troops within the Turkish territory,
and this summer will be remarkable by an
outbreak Of unprecedented importance, Of
which the Montenegro victory gives the
signal.

AN EMINENT STATEsxAN.-'rhe Hon. John

1t is reported that, BY the Europa. dis
patches have been received at the State De-
partment from Mr.. Dallas, covering the res
ponsc of the British Government to the let
tiers Of Secretary Cass upon the recent search
es OF American vessels in the Gulf. The
Washington correspondent Of the Philadel-
phia Ledger says:
Z. The pilh Of these dispatches is. that while
England disavows all authority for any Of
fensive acts that may have been committed,
and while standing ready to make all the re-
paration that may be required, she is not, at
the same time, willing TO abandon the right
Of visiting all vessels that may be suspected
Of being engaged in the traffic Of slaves. Iii
other words, the most effective measures will
still be used for its suppression. II is, how
ever, the desire Of the British Government
that these visits may be made in the most ac-
ceptable manner, and to secure this the
English Minister Of Foreign Affairs would be
pleased to receive such suggestions as the
Cabinetof the United States may be disposed
to make"
