The News

BY the arrival OF the ocean queen OH Cape hace
yesterday morning and the Anglo-Saxon at Farther
Point last evening. we have news from Europe to
the Goth inst, four days later than the advices
brought by the Europa.
The news is interesting Napoleon arrived at
Paris on the l7th but nothing had transpired as to
the definitive terms of the peace. One account
states that the representatives Of France Austria
and Sardinia are to meet at Zurich to perfect the
treaty, while another says that conference 10 set
tie the affairs of Italy has been arranged at st.
Cloud. The early part of next month is mentioned
as the time of the meeting of this conference, but
no place is named. 1t is evident, however, that the
peace is everywhere regarded with disfavor, save,
perhaps in Austria.
new ministry had been formed in Sardinia
with Gen. La Marmora at its head. This cannot but
prove disadvantageous to Garibadi and his special
partsans.
The English budget had been submitted to Par
lament. The estimated deficiency placed at
nearly f5 600 900, and the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer recommends an addition to the income tax
to make up the deficit
The subscribers to the Austrian loan had been
released from their obligations, and the Austrian
funds were very buoyant
In London consols were lower: 50. 90 for both
money and account, are the latest quotations.
In the Liverpool market all qualities of cotton
had declined one-eghth to one-fourth of penny
but holders evinced no disposition to press sales.
The advices from Manchester are regarded as not
so favorable. The breadstuffs and provision mar.
kets were dull with decided tendency to a farther
decline in prices.
II is particularly interesting to see the effect the
treaty of peace between France aud Austria has
upon the tone of the Catholic press in France in
England and in Ireland. The leading Catholic jour-
mails of the three countries take different views on the
subject. Thus, the Unipers regards it as grand
triumph Of the Church, and is most enthusiastic in
its rejoicings, while the London Tablet and Weekly
Register in the treaty nothing but cause for the
most serious apprehensions of an invasion from
France. The two last mentioned papers are the lead
ing Catholic journals of England. The Dublin CdUlo
Tic Telegraph speaks of coalition against England
composed of France, Austria aud Russia as full
of the worst forebodings. The TRANSACTIONS and ex
tracts which will be found in another part Of to-
days HFRALD give the spirit by which all of these
journals are animated and the opinions therein
expressed may be taken as pretty correct ind
cation of Catholic feeling in the three countries
We also give some TRANSACTIONS from the French
and German press of this city with reference to
the peace, which will be found interesting, as
showing the opinions Of our foreign population
upon this question.
A despatch from St. Louis states that the Kansas
Constitutional Convention, having completed it,
labors, finally adjourned constitution was
adopted but the democratic delegates to q
man refused to vote for it. The constitution
is said to be radically anti-slavery, but not
so much as the one framed at Leaven-
worth, as it does not extend the right of suf
frage to negroes. The seat of government is to be
located temporarily at Topeka 1t is believed that
the democrats will strongly oppose the constitution
when it is submitted to the people for ratification,
as they have been defeated in the Convention in
their efforts to include the gold region and the
Platte district within the State boundaries and also
in the exclusion Of free negroes and the prohibition
of bank issues
We published yesterday, in our editorial columns.
an account Of the formal cesson by Guatemala of
the establishments and territory known as British
Honduras to Great Britain. As the subject is one
Of considerable interest in many points of view, we
have prepared and print in to days HERALD an ar.
tcle showing the successive steps taken by Great
Britain in acquiring this territory and giving also
pretty clear idea of the history and character of
the country, which is undoubtedly destined to form
a new British colony of great importance.
We learn from our correspondent at Minatitlan
that the labors of the Tehuantepec Company on
that Isthmus have been seriously interrupted by
judicial proceedings against them by parties there
and the levying of executions on large amounts of
materials for local debts. Mr.. Sdell the chief en-
gineer of the route, has sent to our Minister at
Vera Cruz q long protest against the proceedings,
and solicited his Intervention in the matter
The Commencement exercises at Yale College
