ARRIVAL OF THE INDIAN.

dian, from Liverpool the 18th ult., has passed
here for Quebec.
The departure of the Great Eastern for
Portland would be further delayed. The
American ship Charles Buck, nearly loaded
for Liverpool, was burnt at Bombay, August
9th.
The Zurich Conference.
1t is stated that the conferences at Zurich
were again progressing. The Paris CORES
pondent of the London Times says that the
task of the plenipotentiaries has been dimin-
ished by dispatches from Vienna, and it is be-
lieved that the conference will be terminated
i'll a few days, unless fresh instructions should
be received. The amended programme is
stated to be as follows =
A definite treaty of peace will be signed by
the three powers. Another treaty will be
drawn up by which Austria will cede Lombar-
dy to France, who will make it over to Sardin
Ia. The most difficult point in the double
transfer is the debt and on this point it is be-
heved Austria will moderate her demands.
Documents will be brought up for consider
alton, respecting the Italian confederation, the
restoration of the Dukes, and other unsettled
questions; but they can only be signed by the
Austrian and French Penipotentiaries, as Sar-
DINA utterly rejects the restoration and will
not agree to confederation under present cir
cumstances. Spain has requested to be repre-
scented, should a European congress take place
The gossipS of Paris and Brussels state that
Prince Albert will represent England, and the
Archduke MaXimau Austria, at the proposed
Congress at Brussels.
Great Britain.
The repairs on the Great Eastern are going
actively forward at Portland but il was CON
sidered doubtful whether the ship could be got
ready for sea in October. All matters con-
nected with her sea-going equipments had
been placed entirely in the hands of the marine
department OF the Board of Trade, and this, it
was supposed, would increase the expected
delay. 1t was thought that i'll a few days the
ship would proceed to Southampton for con-
venience OF receiving materials from London
and Tor the qualification of eXcursioniSts who
continued to visit her by thousands.
The telegraph cable between Malta and Sic
ly had been successfully laid, and business had
been commenced over it.
The London Times has another editorial on
the new boundary difficulty with the United
States. 1t lamentS that the former treaty
should have left any preteXt for the question
which has arisen, and says it is a case for the
earliest possible settlement. 1t points out the
absurdlty OF going to war for 50 trivial a mat
ter, but urges that England must nevertheless
assert her rights, if they are plain. The arti
Gle concludes with a description OF the ultimate
commercial and other relations existing be-
tween the two countries, and the lamentable
effects which war would have upon both
The British Association for the Advance
ment OF Science had terminated its annual sus-
sion at Aberdeen. The members were enter
tanned by the Queen at Bamoral.
Earl Derby had carried out his threat to
clear his Doom estate in Ireland, so far as to
have every tenant served with formal notice
to quit. The incentive, it will be remember
ed, was the difficulty experienced in tracing
out murderer, and the conviction that the
tenantry threw impedimcnts in the way of
discovery. The case attracted much atten-
ton.
1t is stated that Sir Hope Grant is to have
command of the expedition force 10 China, and
that 10000 men are to be sent from India but
none from England.
By Telegraph. Wednesday morc-
ing.-Col. Hawkins, the chief commissioner Of
the Oregon boundary survey, arrived in Lon.
don yesterday, as special envoy from Governor
Douglass, i'll consequence of the San Juan diff.
ficulty- The Times says it has reason to be-
lieve that Gen. Harvey placed military posts
In San Juan on his own responsibility. He
declared to the British authorities that he did
so because American citizens had been arrested
on the island, but that he did not mean his oc-
cupation to be permanent, although it was his
intention to hold the island until he heard
from Washington.
The London Post referring to the difficulty,
says :-"Our transatlantic cousins had better
watch the progress of Russian power in the
Pacific, than quarrel with their best friends and
customers-the people of England
France.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Spectator says there is still a hitch in the
peace negotiations. Austria persists in keep
ing an Austrian army in Venetia. When this
difficulty is surmounted the treaty will be
signed by Austria and France, and Congress
will be held at Brussels.
The Heralds Paris correspondent says that
the report of France and Austria alone signing
the treaty of peace is corroborated by private
dispatches, and unless orders to the contrary
are received from Biarritz the fact will no
doubt be officially made known before many
days.
1t is announced the French force in China
will consist Of 5000 troops of the line, $4,000
marines, large steam transports, sailing
frigates, & first class and second class gun
boats. Another authority says the expedition
will number from 10000 to 1900.
The French steam frigate Sane was wrecked
while proceeding from Foulan to Brest
French commercial affairs showed no improve

The Moniteur says that, under pretence
that the press is not free, several journals,
which direct their attacks against the decree
of February, 1852, go beyond the extreme linn
its of discussion, and are wanting in respect for
law which is ihseparable from the exercise of
liberty. The Moniteur explains that immedi-
ately after the measure granted spontaneously
by the Emperor, which relieved the press from
the consequences of warnings received, the
government forebode to make use of the weap-
ons at its commands but it will nevertheless
not fail in performing the duty imposed on it
to make law respected, and therefore informs
the papers that it is decided no longer to toler-
ate these poemical excuses, which can only
be considered as party maneuvers.
The Italian Affairs.
The fourth and last deputation, that from the
Romagna, was received by the King of Sar-
DINA, at Monza, on the oath ult. The follow
ng is a summary of his reply :
II am grateful for the wishes of the Romag-
ma of which you are the interpreters before
me. AS a Catholic sovereign, | shall always
retain profound and unalterable respect for
the superior hierarchy of the Church. AS an
Italian prince, | ain reminded that Europe,
having i'll view the state of the Romagna's
people who have demanded prompt and eff
Gent measures of reform, has accepted final
obligations towards your country. L receive
your wishes, and strengthened by the rights
conferred upon me, will support your cause
before the great powers. You may rely on the
sense OF justice and the generous love of our
country felt by the French Emperor who will
accomplish the great work of reformation he
has so powerfully begun, and who, assured of
the gratitude Of Italy, and seeing the modera-
