The News.


The steamer New York arrived at this port last
evening from Southampton, with the details of
European ne US to the I'd inst Italian affairs were
becoming more complicated, if possible Garibaldi
and Victor Emanuel had met to deliberate upon the
letter Of Napole on. and the General had issued
stirring proclamation melting the Pope's Swiss
mercenares to desert. The rupture between church
and State in France was regarded complete since

views on the HaIper's Ferry outbreak. The Times
compares Browns plot to that of Guy Fawkes, and
argues that the fact of the attempt is evidence of
the existence of elements of danger in our social
system. The Necs is quite philosophical and
thinks the negroes exhibited wonderful patience
and generosity, but regards the conduct of the con-
spirators as calculated to impede the abolition of
slavery in the Southern States, and especially in
Maryland. The gales on the English coast during
the latter part of last month were very destructive
Up to the 29th ult it was known at Loyd's that
nnety-six vessels had been totally wrecked, and
five hundred and thirty more or less damaged,
while six hundred lives had been lost.
We have later advces from Paraguay. Captain
Page was received at Asuncion with those marks
of respect which are pretty universally paid to
the representatives OF our government; but it
seems that in the meanwhile his Jesuitical Excel
lency Lopez had been concocsing scheme which
was intended to Danish the last American out of
the waters of Paraguay and every vestge Of cvili-
cation out OF the country. Captain Page inquired
by letter if there would be any obstacles
placed in his way in the free navigation
of the interior waters of Paraguay, which he
is row opening to the world. He was told that
he might ascend the Paraguay river, and when
he had accomplished that much, the govern.
ment would then receive his proposition to explore
the Pilcomayo and find water course to the noun
tains of Bolivia across the grassy deserts of the
Chaco. But in this ascent of the Paraguay, Lopez
placed him under the most rigorous restraints,
hoping that he would break through some of them,
and thus afford him an excuse to accuse the Anne
rican officer Of violating the laws of Paraguay.
1t is against the laws of Paraguay for any man to
cut wood. every twig in the land belonging to the
government. The United States Exploring Expe-
diton was not relieved from the observance of this
rule aud it had to buy its wood of the government
officials at the cost of twenty dollars per cord
more than six times its value. The expedition had
to pass points where there were no government
officials to sell this wood, and they must conse
queptly either cut it or come to dead halt Lo-
PEI hoped that the wood would be cut in this des-
perate expedient, and the laws violated, just as
he desired-so that Captain Page might never
stem the current of the Pilcomayo. Not so,
however. His Excellency was not aware that
some fifteen or twenty tons Of coal were
c<o in Ton foir pa0 cfa
ers, and that by using that economically his ruse
might be avoided and SO it was. Provisions were
also charged at the same exorbitant prices, but
the expedition bought nothing. In descending the
Paraguay the steamers were loaded with Brazilian
wood, and not another twig was purchased in
