| addition to this Gen. Buckley mas onereu Jaure
the services of the Knights of the Golden Circle.
Jaurez, either fearing them or not wishing to
share the glory of q conquest with any one, or
Ifor some other reason, has emphatically declined
their assistance. Meanwhile Spain, it is said
claiming that France will back her, and that
ENGLAND will not interfere-desigus to make q
descent on Mexico Private letters from the
CITY of Mexico state that the Spanish authorities
there only await the arrival of the Belgian min
lister and Spanish feet which is coming to take
Vera Cruz, to begin the work of subjugatlon IN
the interior. Spain is Catholic; Miramon is
Catholic and "fellow feeling makes her Won
Idrous kind" to his party. Besides the United
States has rejected the McLane treaty, and mel
ther law nor gospel, she claims, is of any force
to protect Spanish citizens in their rights and
property. The Knights of the Golden Circle,
notwithstanding the cold shoulder which Jaurez
gave them, are said to be moving through Texas
on their way to Mexico. They have snuffed the
gale of Spanish invasion. The Spanards say
that the "much do" about the Monroe doctrine
of "Americans ruling America" is nothing; but
the Knights are bent on vindicating it to the let
ter. Gen. Sam. Houston, of San Jacinro renown,
it is said, will likely lead them on to "death or
victory" -,
Ruatan.-This is one of the Bay Islands which
were lately ceded to Honduras by Great Britain.
The British commissioner had made proclama-
ton that the 30th of July would be the day for
the transfer from one government to the other
The English and American settlers, aided by the
sympathy and perhaps cooperation of all classes,
will resist the Honduras rule The 4th of July
was celebrated on the Island with great spirit
| ABRoAD-The news abroad possesses an un-
tagging interest; though things remain much in
their last weeks condition.
Svitzerland-A religious revival has been &C.
ing on in this country which has resutedin 25O,-
t600conversions among the $500, 900 inhabitants.
Russia.-The serfs of this empire, it is said,
will be emancipsted after the incoming harvest.
The Emperor's decree to effect this measure,
will appear in October or November. Count Pa
min, chairman of the committee to devise the
plan of emancipation, had promised the Empe-
ror to complete the work by the last of June.
Austria.-Has made some concessions to the
Hungarians. Herfnancial affairs are described
as in deplorable condition Her armyto over
awe Veneta and Hungary, and her efforts to
keep up appearances as the rival of Prussia in
the German sisterhood of nationalities, are
constant drain on her purse. Though sympathl-
zing with the Pope and Naples, she has on this
account been too weak to help them.
Sicily.-Twenty thousand royalists are the
defense of Messins. They are acting strictly on
the defensive. Meanwhile, Garibaldi is finding
it more difficult to govern the Slcilians from the
cabinet than to liberate them on the field He
needs much money, and they are strangely opposed
to being taxed. They seem to think that free
dom Is release from taxation. But the expenses
of new government, waging war not only OF
independence but of existence, must be great
The backwardness of the Sicilians to sacrifice
all they are and have on the altar of patriotism,
rather than 20 back, slike fool to the correc
ton of the Stocks" to Neapolitan despotism,
must check his advances against Messina, and
put his brightest hopes-it may be. his neck
in jeopardy. The greatest curse OF tyranny is
that it sucks out the very life blood Of people,
so that when they resolve, they have not the
strength to be free
Hay.-Relgous liberty has been proclaimed
for the protestants in all the Italian States ex-
cept Venetia and the Papal States. Nice, Ge-
noa, Leghorn, Florence, Malta, Gibraltar, Pau
and the Cantons are embraced in one Presbytery,
called the Presbytery of the North of Italy
Naples has free Constitution and annexation
with Piedmont But old fueds still exist be-
tween the royalists, the Pope-ists aud the peo
pie. A new Cabinet for Naples has been form
ed The former Inspector of Police has been
assassinated. fight has taken place recently
between the hostile parties at Naples, and many
lives lost. Garibadi has issued proclamation,
denouncing the Bourbous, and ringing with the
cry-viue le Victor Emmanuel
Syria.-Thc civil war between the Christians
and the Druses assisted by the Arabs and Mos.
lens, is still raging to shocking extent in this
country. Zaleh, another village of Lebanon, has
fallen. Sidon, lower down on the Dead Sea, has
fallen. Thousands of Christians have perished
Iuured through life to peace and gentleness,
they have been unable to cope with their semi
civilized and warlike enemies. In the absence,
therefore, of those means of defence which civ
ization brings as compensation for the un-
warlike pursuits of those who live in her smile,
the villages of the Syrian Christians have been
besieged, captured and sacked, and many of them
butchered in the most barberous manner.
Damascus latest accounts declare that
q most blood thirsty and unrelenting persecution
has been waged against the Christians at this
place More than five hundred of them, inclu
ding the Dutch Consul, had been slain. The
American Consul had been badly wounded
Europe has been thrown into the most profound
horror at this outrage. Such crimes and cnor-
mites as are now practiced by the Druses and
Arabs and Moslems, are enough to raise another
crusade to rescue Syria and the Holy Land from
their impious deso!aters.
