lieyed that vote would be taken on Lord John
Russelis resolution G2l members were present,
and the galleries were crowded. Sir Robert Peel.
Mr. Roebuck and others spoke in opposition to
the bill and in favor of Russell's amendment. and
Mr.. Disraeli wound up the debate with an elabo-
rate and impressive speech in defense Of the Gov
ernment scheme, and in dennnciation of Lord
John Russelis unprecedented course, which-he
claimed-preyented the discussion Of the measure
on its merits, and jumped at once to the details.
Mr. Disraeli 8 remarks were listened to with great
attention, and, when he concluded, the House di-
vded, with the following result
For the amendment $50
For the second reading of the bill 2gI
Majority against the Government 80
The announcement of the vote was received with
vociferous cheers.
The resolution was then put as q substantive
motion, when Mr.. Wyld moved an amendment to
it in favor Of the ballot
After tumultuous discussion this proposition
was negatived by vote of 328 to 90, and the
original resolution of Lord John Russell was car
ried without division.
The House then, ON motion of Mr.. Disraeli ad-
journed till Monday, the 4th.
Various were the speculatiOns alOat in regard
to the course Ministers would adopt but it was
supposed that nothing definite would transpre un-
til Parliament re-assembled on the 4th.
The Herald (Mnsterial) remarks that on TAX
ing Office last year Ministers were aware that when
ever their opponents thought fit to combine, they
must be outnumbered. Under these circumstances
the defeat can scarcely be considered important.
Ministers possess the confidence both of Parlia-
ment and the country. Many of those who sup
ported this factlOUs motion declared in explicit
terms that anything was preferable to the return
to power either Of Lord j. Russell or Lord Pal
merstOn.
From other portions of Europe we learn:
Paris letter writers were mainly engrossed with
speculatiOns as to Count Cavour's visit, and its
consequences. He is reported to have reached
Paris full of doubt and misgivings but, after his
interviews with the Emperor, he became quite
buoyant, and, according to rumOr, had declared
that he had then no apprehension of the future,
and, in fact that he was IS master of the situa-
tion.' Cavour was believed to be bent on war,
and it was reported that he would not leave Paris
till the admission Of Piedmont to the Congress
was settled one way or the other.
The review of the army Of Paris had been de-
initely fixed for Sunday, the Sd April. All the
regiments would be complete, every recruit having

The Italian refugees in Paris had, by deputa-
ton, complimented NJ. Cayour, and assured him
Of their sympathy for his cause. NJ. Cavour re-
ceived the deputation very graeiously and assured
them that he was perfectly satisfied with the re-
suit of his visit to Paris.
The Paris correspondent of The Daily NelVs

notorious preparations for war the French Jour

A second division Of the Army Of Algeria was
shortly expected to arrive ut Marseilles.
Count CavOur left Paris for Turin on the Both.
A dispatch from Paris states that according to
reliable intelligence, the Austrian Government had
refused the proposition that Baden should be the
place of meeting for the proposed Congress. The
French government is said to have consequently
left the choice of the town to Austria, reserving
only the condition that it must be in eommunica-
tion with Paris by railway and Telegraph.
The Dresden Journal states that the five powers
may be regarded as having agreed to the prelimi-
naries of the Congress, that the day of meeting
will probably be April 30th but that the place of
meeting remains unsettled.
A despatch from Paris, dated Friday, the lst,
says:
!. The following is the present position of polit

the Congress as one of the Great Powers, Austria
and Russia having formerly protested against her
admission on any other terms than those allowed
to the other Italian States. The same two Powers
have also demanded that Piedmont should not be
suffered to enter the Congress Immediately ON Its
commencement, and, as a matter Of course, should
only be permitted to take part in the deliberatlon
when called upon to do so.
"The preliminary conditions on which Austria

that Piedmont should disarm, which she positive

Government intends demanding from the Cham

the coasts of the Baltic and of the North Sea.
The Russian soldiers on leave Of absence are all
reported to have been recalled.
The United States Government having in so rap
id and fortunate manner closed its difereneies
with Paraguay, had turned its whOls attention to
the Central American question. The N. Y. Her
aid says:
The treaty between our government and Nicara-
qua has been ratified by the Nicaragua govern
ment. and now awaits the action of our govern
ment. 1t contains precisely the provisions we
auired and had agreed to- with one alteration, and
that not an important one. Whether our govern
ment will assent to the treaty, send it back to
have this alteration expunged, has not yet been
determined The English treaty contains the same
