INDEPENDENTLY GRANTED,
The New York Herald, of yesterday morning, pub
fishes the gratifying intelligence that the difficulties
between this government and Paraguay, which have
excited 30 much newspaper comment, and furnished
80 many opportunities for eovertly attacking the
President and his administration, are at last adjusted
without blOodshed and without any of those serious
consequences which, at one time, there was reason
to apprehend. This information was received by
the British brig Ann Mexican, which arrived at New
York on Tuesday last from Pernambuco, and if it be
true there is great for congratulatOn. It ap
pears that Commissioner BOwlin was very materially
assisted in his efforts to secure this satisfactory re-
suit by President Urquiza, who, in his communica-
ton, to the government of the Argentine Confedera
ton, sets forth this fact very prominently. We are
not disposed to disparage his efforts; we are conf
dent that his influence and representations aided
largely in Fastening the conclusion, but when all the
facts reported we believe it will be found that
the American representative fully justified the ex-
pectatOns of the President, when no was selected
for that important post. We give in another col
umn the details which will be found of peculiar in.

THE STATE CANVASS IN KENTUCKY.

The canvass in Kentucky for State officers has
commenced in earnest. Hon. Bera Magoffin, the
democratic candidate for governor, has published
his list Of appointments, commencing at Lebanon, in
Marion county, on the goth instant, and it is es-
timated that he will make forty-eight speeches
The election will take place on tie LIST of August
next, aud from the past successes of the democratic
party in that Commonwealth, we are enabled to as
sert, with some degree of confidence that Mr.. Ma
coffin win be triumphantly elected. In fact there
has been but one party in Kentucky since tho death
of the old wing party. For time, the know-noth-
ings contested the ground with the democracy, but
since the disasters Of the last presidential campaign
they too have abandoned the field and now the OPP
position are composed almost entirely of men ami
mated by principle and seeking only the defeat of
the democratic party, and the ruin Of their country
Such an object this can be successful with
people who have been loyal to the constitution
and the best interests of the confederacy.a
The opposition candidate, Mr.. Bell, has been in
vited to meet Mr. Magofin on the stump, but the
Louisville Courier seems to think that he will not do
it, for the reason that the know-nothings to which
party he belonged, general rule, are not anxious
TO meet theH opponents on he stump LOT the dls-
oussion Of political questions The Courier might
have added that such politicians are not used to so
much freedom, rather seeking the privacy of dun
geon and the secrecy Of the midnight hour, where
they count their forces and develop their prin
ciples without the fear Of opposition. Whatever
may be the exertions of their opponents, whatever
of influence money may be used to compass their
defeat we confidently expect the democracy of Ken
lucky to make a clean sweep in August next.

EUROPEAN AFFAIRs.

The attitude of the world, at the present writing,
is certainly far from peaceable, and disturbed
than it has been for years past it, indeed there has
ever been period marked by the existence of 30
many diplomatic ruptures, and the expeditions and
gigantic preparations for defence which character
ize the movements of certain European powers All
Europe to have taken the ALARM and its effect
upon industry and commerce will be felt for many
succeeding years. The large sums which are Law
ished 30 unsparingy by the different governments
will cause an increase Of taxes, thus adding to their
difficulties and embarrassments and to the burdens
of the people, who have to pay them. But these
evils are trifng when compared with those that
would DO inflicted by actual hostties. History
teaches that wars, instead of advancing nations in
power and importance, have depressed trade par
ayzed industry, and disordered the public credit.
A nation which has engaged in war, whether sue
cessful or not, has always required peace of sew
eral years standing to recover her exhausted re-
sources and wasted energies.
Looking at the complicated condition of European
affairs in this light; we gratied with the peace
able tenor OF the latest news. Congress of the
great powers has been called to settle all differences

ton and diplomacy to fight the battles of armies, an
opportunity will be afforded to commerce to recover
from the repeated shocks of the last few months II
appears that the resignation of Prince Napoleon has
been regarded a favorable sign ofthe peaceable in
tentions of the French government and the Emperor
of Austria is quito willing to evacuate the Papa
States simultaneously with France If the result Of
such an act should expose the Pope to danger from
the revolutionary party, the return of the French
troops to Rome for the purpose of protecting him
would not DO regarded with jealousy. On the CON
trary it would be taken an evidence of the CON
tinued good faith of Louis Napoleon. There is,
them seemingly no cause for continued apprehen-
sion of hostilties and not for the defensive
preparations of Austria and Sardinia in the face Of
the amicable sentiments attributed to them, we
should shortly expect to find Europe moro anxious
for internal prosperity than outward conquests only
to be gained by great sacrifices of blood and treas
ure, and which may cost to keep than they are
really worth.
