rS&EIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Arrival Of the Africa at New Yorl

On Friday morning last, we published tele-
graphic summary of European intelligence, re-
ceiyed by the Irish steamer which left Galway
ON the 9th instant. By the steamer Africa,
which arrived at New York on Tuesday morn
ing, rom Liverpool Feb. 5, we have accounts
TO that date.
The foreign journals furnish nothing decisive
as to the prospects of European war.
In the Parliamentary debate which followed
the Queens speech, Lord Derby, as Premier,
denied emphahcally the existence of any un-
derstanding, on the part of England, with any
foreign power whatever, which might fetter
her free action in the case of hostilities. Meth
err did he know of any difficulties existing be-
tween the European governments, which mil ht
not be settled without resort to the dreadful al
tentative of war AT the same time, ne spoke
of the state of Northern Italy as that of slum-
bering volcano, and he so far betrayed his pro-
civities as to assert that the hold OF Austria on
Italy was OF kind with which neither England
nor any nation, on any pretext whatever, had
right to interfere. He condemned in express
terms the proceedings Of Sardinia He stated,
also, that the government had received assur-
ances from the Emperor of the French that he
would not countenance or assist Sardinia in an
aggressive or unjustifable war. But he did
not say who was to judge as to the aggressive
ness or propriety of the war.
statement is current in Paris, to the effect
that the King of Sardinia is about to marry a
Russian princess, a widow, the eldest daughter
ofthe Emperor Nicholas, who is in her fortieth
year. She is now at Rome, where, it is al
legged, the marriage has been negotiated. The
King of Sardinia is but little older than Prince
Napoleon.
The MARRIAGE OF PRINCE NAPoLEoN-
The marriage of the Prince Napoleon with the
Princess Clotilde, took place at Turin on the
18th ult. The benedicton was pronounced by
an archbishop and four bishops The married
couple departed at once for Genoa, where they
were enthusiastically received large bou-
quet was presented to the Princess Clotilde by
the young ladies of that city. AT Marseilles
great enthusiasm was manifested, and the
Princess replied to an address of the muncip-
atty, calling the members her "new fellow
citizens" From Paris, Feb 3, we learn that
the entry of the marriage party into the capi-
tai was received with great indifference on the
part of the people.
The PRINCESS FREDERIC WILLIAM.-Tel-
egrams from Berlin for seven days are given
In the last London papers. The mother and
son were both on satisfactory state of health
The infant prince is robust and well made. On
the 18th of January the Prince Frederic Will
liam assembled the servants of his household
and showed to them the young boy, whom he
held in his arms. Great celebrations of this
suspicious birth were being made in Prussia
Examinations, serenades, fetes, congratulatory
addresses, followed each other rapidly. Queen
Victoria and Prince Albert are expected to be
present at the pabtism of their grandson, and
the churching Of the mother, and it is not I'M
likely that the Emperor of Russia will also
assist.
