PORTLAND, Jan. 2s.-The steamship Nova SEQ
tian, Of the Canadian line, has arrived at this
port
She left Liverpool on Wednesday, the 18th inst,
and touched at Queenstown on Thursday, the 18th,
bringing telegraphic commercial advices from
London and Liverpool five days later than those
ceiyed by the Circassian and Africa, and political
news two days later than was received by the Teu-
tonia at this port.
The steamer Nova scotian brings intellige nee
that the Cunard steamship America, from Boston,
and the Montreal Ocean Company's steamship
North America had both arrived at Liverpool pre-
yious to her departure.
The general and political news by the Nova SEQ
tan possesses more than usual interest, ndicat
ing the course that will be pursued by the various
powers on the Italian question.
A telegram from Paris to the London Times,
states that from present indications the assembling
of European Congress was more doubtful than
ever, and growing more SO daily. II was con
sidered probable that the Italian question would
be settled without the intervention Of Congress.
Advces from Turin give translation from
L'Opinione Nationals of that city, which expresses
the opinion that if the Italian people decide in
favor Of the annexation Of the northern and cen
trail portion Of the peninsular to Piedmont, Eng
land wonld gladly acquiesce and France would
eagerly accept the combination, provided that Sa-
voy and Nice be restored to France.
Li0pt,aioile Ndtloaale thinks that the Cabinet of
Turin would not present any obstacles in the way
of such an arrangement, and that neither Austria,
Russia nor Prussia have the power right to inter
fere in the matter It also states, upon what ap-
pears to be good authority, that such combine
ton is being seriously entertained by the Cabinets
of London and Paris.
The London Daily News, in an article reviewing
President Buchanan's message to Congress, says
that the English Government and people have no
reason to complain Of the manner in which the
President deals with the general relations Of pre-
sent existing between England and the United
States.
Advices from Berlin give the translation of an
article from the Prussian ministerial organ, the
New Prussian Gazette, in which it gives up all
hopes of the restoration Of the Grand Dukes to
their possessions in Italy considering it impossible
under the present state Of public opinion in Italy,
and the position assumed by the governments Of
France and England.
The Gazette considers that the annexation of the
Duchies to Sardinia, under such circumstances is
the best thing that can be done.
Lord Cowley, the British Ambassador at the
Court of Napoleon, had returned from his mission
to London, and represents that the retirement of
Count Walewski from the French Cabinet has ma
teralIy facilitated the relations between the Eng
lish and French Cabinets
Count Lulimande has been appointed charge
d'aifaifes ad interim at Gonstantinople.
