Effect OF the Foreign News in New York.

The news Of the battle Of Magenta created
a tremendous sensation among the foreign
residents in New York The Herald say, the
French saloons were thronged all day om Sun
day, and ia yuerre" was the engrossng topic
of conversation. The Freuchmen are delight
ed. They knew it would have been 50; and
while there WAS general feeling of JOY and
satisfaction among them ut the success OF their
brave countrymen, there were not II few OF
them who paid high compliments to the In
dJmitable courage ot the Austrlans.
The Germans generally doubted the accu-
racy of the accounts. They are said to be
warming up IN favor Of Austria, aud some
of the more intelligent ones are ot the opln-
ion that the whole of Fatherland is on the
brink Of explosion.
They have no faith in the idea of peace,
and without this 'consummutiJn 50 deyoutly
to be wished" they cannot see how the ar
dor and excitement of their brethren at home
are to be restrained They say that while
the Germans love Italian liberty they can
not neglect their own: that their own inter
est is u check the progress of Louis Napo,
leon and assist the most powerful State OF
their confederation.
Among the Italians there is slight diver

The press comments, rarionsly, upon the
accounts received of the Battle of Magenta,
and the probable results thereof. The gene
raj impression is, that the end Of the war IS
not yet-and that the logged obstinacy of
Austria will stand the loss of Milan, and the
present advantages of the Allies.
The New York Herald looks upon the bat
tie of Magenta rather in the light of drawn
battle than decisive victory, admitting, Of
course, the advantage gained by the Allies
in securing a position on the left bank Of
the Ticino, and in obtaining possession Of
Milan.
The New York Commercial thinks that
the heavy losses in killed, wounded, and
missing. in the late great battle in Italy,
include not 50 many actually killed, as is
generally supposed. Nevertheless the actu-

Judge Douglas friends, for the Charleston

of the Illinois Senator. who recently visited

doctrine incompatible with the just demand

innocent of the squatter sovereignty heresy,

will not assume to say that the question
which so agitated the Senate, in II debate not

seemed to constitute an impossible chasm
between the band of democrats who had at
tanned to state of incipient opposition
and the Administration, is already sunk out

THE SLAVE TRADE.-The movements of
Mr. Seward in the Senate, and Mr.. Farms
worth in the House, for the more etiectual sup
preston of the slave trade, are producing good
results. The House resolution was referred
to the Committee on Naval Affairs. The
chairman of that committee is Mr.. Bocock,
and majority of its members are Southern
Democrats Mr.. Sherman of Ohio, and Mr..
Granger, of New York, are also members.
The majority have agreed to report prop
osition, which is a virtual removal of all re-
straints from the traffic, and an invitation to
the cupidity of all nations to engage in the
competition of supplying the United States
and the islands Of the West Indies with cheap
negroes from Ashantec, Dahomey and Congo
1t is their present purpose to report that the
African squadron ought to be withdrawn and
that preventive efforts hencefortb be confined
to this side of the Atlantic
The Republican minority are preparing
counter report, in which they endeavor to
show that the efficiency of the African squad
ron might and ought to be increased by the
substitution of small and rapid steamers for
the sailing vessels, and that if the work were
earnestly seconded by our government, as
many slavers would be caught by the Ameri-
can as by the British squadron, in proportion
to the number of vessels employed.
1t is hardly probable that either proposition
will be adopted by Congress at this session,
but the action of the majority sufficiently dem.
onstrates the truth Of the charge that the De-
mocracy is drifting towards the legalization of
that commerce in human beings which the
sentiment and the laws of Christendom have
condemned as Infamous, for almost century
past.
