AFFAIRS IN sYRIA-DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT.
In the House of Lords, on the 25th of February
Lord Stratford de Radcliffe moved for the produc
ton OF the correspondence relative to the affairs
Syria.
Lord Wodehouse said a conference was now sit
ting at Paris to inquire into the affairs of Syria
and under those circumstances the Government die
not think it would be consistent with the public
interest to produce the papers. The motion wa
| negatived.
In reply to question by Mr.. Edwin James
LORD John Russell said that it had not been decided
that the French occupation of Syria should extend
hey ond the stipulated time The Turkish member
OF the Paris Conference had expressed an opinion
that the presence of foreign troops no longer
necessary; but added that he should refer the at
ter to his Government if the representatives of the
Great Powers were instructed to recommend a
"short and definite" extension of the period origin
ally hxed This reference had been made but no
decision whatever had yet been arrived at on the
question.
THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY FRAUD
Sir Charles Wood stated that the alleged COM
pcity of Mr.. Laing, in the misrepresentation of the
funds of the Great Western Railway Company of
| Canada, would be fully investigated, and in the
meantime he asked the House to suspend its iudg-
ment until Mr.. Laing could be heard in defence
| The bill appropriating the four seats in Parlia-
ment vacant by the disfranchsement of the bo-
roughs of Sunbury and St. Albans, was passed to
second reading.
THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.
| In fhl nF tLaD D. al.
moved the following resolutions: LIST, That the
means hitherto employed by England for the sup
preston of the African slave trade have failed 3D.
| That this failure has mainly arisen from having en-
| deavored almost exclusively, to prevent the sup

remedy is not to be found in countenancng immi.

fore, while repressive measures should be continued
and even rendered more effective, every possible
encouragement and assistance should be given to
the introduction of free immigrants, and especially
OF settlers from China, into the British West India
Colonies.
Lord j. ohm Russell said that the Government had
done all in its power to arrest the slave trade and
to great extent its efforts had been successful
That it had not been more so was owing to the
American government, which denied the privilege
OF search In time of peace. He regretted that the
American Government, for the sake of the republic
(Which he hoped would always continue SOY, lad
not been induced to remove this great blot upon
its flag, which protected nine tenths of the slave
trade. He quite agreed with the general objects
OF the resolutions, but as he could not see their
practical advantage he moved the previous ques-
ton. -
Mr.. Buxton feared that the Southern States would
re-establish the slave trade. He hoped that the
Government would never recognize a Southern
Contederacy without express stipulation against
the revival of the slave trade. He suggested that
the slave coasts should be taken under the protec
tion of England, which would enable her cruisers
to arrest the slave-deaers as privateers.
After some further remarks from various gentle
men, Lord Palmerston said the House was much
indebted to the member who bad raised this discus
sion, who must feel that if he objected to the work
ing of his resolution there no practical differ
ence between him and the Governments but it was
caiumny to the country to say that it encouraged
the slave trade after the great and, indeed sue
cessu efforts she had so long made to put stop to
it. The noble lord, in the most indignant Ian
guage, condemned the shameless and profligate
conduct of Spain, and complained strongly of the
policy of the United States, who, from a mistaken
sense of national honor, allowed the prostitution of
their flag to the purposes of the slave trade He
hoped that Mr.. Cave would be satisfied with the
result of the discussion, and not press his resolu
tions.
Mr.. Cave agreed to withdraw the resolutions.
FRANCE.
ITALY-ADDREss IN REPLY TO EMPERoR's
The Committee Of the Senate had adopted the
project of address in reply to the opening speech of
the Emperor. The address congratulates the EN-
peror upon his decree of the oath November and |
upon his foreign policy. 1t then continues thus:
In reference to the affairs of Italy, two inter.
ests which the Emperor wished to reconcile have |
clashed against each other. The liberty of Italy
is in conflict with the Court of Rome. Your Ma |
Jesty'S Government has done everything to arrest
this conflict, and all equitable means have been |
opened. You have only hesitated before the EN-
ployment of force.''
The address pronounces itself in favor OF non-n-
tervention, and says:
Tta1u cho
of her liberty, and should remember the Catholic |
world has entrusted to her the head of the Church.
the highest representative of moral force. But our
most steadtast hope is in your tuteary hand, and |
IN your flial affection for the molly cause, which
your Majesty will not confound with the cause of
intrigues which assume its guise. The Senate does
not hesitate TO give its most entire adhesion to all
the acts of the Government. As regards the future
shall continue to place our confidence in the
monarch who shelters the Papacy beneath the
French flag, who has assisted it in all its trials and
has constituted himself the most vigant and faith
full sentinel of Rome and the Pontifical Govern
ment."
The discussion of the above project of address
fixed for the 28th February.
FRANCE HAS NOT RECEIVED THE SOUTH CAROLINA COM
MISsIoNERs.
Paris despatch says that Colonel Faulkner, the
United States Minister at Paris had been officially
assured by NJ. Thouvenel that no delegate from
South Carolina or any other seeding State had
ever been received by the Emperor or by himself.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Archbishop of Rheims who had just return
ed from Rome, had been received in his diocese
with unusual demonstrations of enthusiasm. 1t is
stated he assured the crowd that the Pope would
resist to the last.
Prices had again advanced in the Paris corn
market. Flour was one franc per sack and wheat
fifty cents per sack dearer.
No further light had been thrown on the affairs
of NJ. Mires The impression gained ground that
the bills of the Ottoman Government, due in the
middle of March, would be provided for.

AUSTRIA.
A Vienna despatch of the 25th utimo announces
that the Emperor on that day signed the new Con-
stituton. The Diet, which is composed of an
upper and lower house, has the right of legsia-
ton. The Hungarian Constitution remains intact
A rotous disturbance took place at Pestb on the
occasion of Jewish festival on the Oath utimo.-
Firearms were used by the military police, and
several persons were wounded. Two of the patrol
were also wounded.
ITALY.
INVASION OF ROME
The rumOr is repeated that a PiedmonteSe bri-
gade would be sent to Rome early in March, and it
was asserted that the inhabitants of Rome were Sc
cretly making preparations for the reception of
King Victor Emmanuel.
1t was stated that Francis ii. intends staying at
Rome as long as the French troops remain there.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Pontiica Government was understood to be
preparing reply to the French pamphlet of NJ. de
la Guerroniere in order to prove that all the re-
sponsbity for late events lies with the Emperor
Napoleon.
An order of the day of Genera! Goyon had been
declared to be calumny the Pontifcal Gov
ernment.
The French were about to occupy portion of
the province of Frosinone.
Cardinal Brune is dead.
An accident had occurred on the Caserta rail-
road, by which nine persons are reported to have
been killed and forty-on wounded.
The proclamation of Victor Emmanuel as
King of Italy brings up the Roman question in a
manner more pressing and more direct than ever.
Numerous reports in circulation about the
marching of a Piedmontese corps d. armee to Rome.
But upon this little reliability can be placed. What
is more probable is that the great problem will be
in short time taken up by the Italian parliament,
in consequence of the receipt of petition from
the town of Viterbo, which demands that it shall
no longer be considered as forming a part of the
States of the Church, but shall be enrolled in the
great independent family of which Victor EN-
manuel has become the chief.
1t was thought that the Parliament would pass an
order of the day entrusting to Count Cavour the
task of attempting to obtain by diplomatic means
the withdrawal of the French forces from Rome.
TURKEY.
AN INsURRECTION,
serious insurrection is reported to have broken
out at Sutorina. Mehemet Pasha marched against
