EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.

We hive further news from Europe by the
Canada, which arrived at Halifax on Saturday
morning which dates from Liverpool to the 9th.
European affairs are still complicated, France,
as usual, engrossing the game. England was
uneasy in relation to the French occupation OF
Syria. Russia, it is said, approves the policy Of
Napoleon and actually favors an increase Of the
French force now in Syria.
An interesting debate took place in the
House of Commons oil Italian affairs, Italian
liberty and unity found defenders in Lord John
Russell, Mir Robert Peel, Mr.. Gladstone, the
Chancellor Of the Excbequer, and Mr.. Edwin
James. The eccentric Mr. Roebuck volunteered
defence of Austria, while q number Of Irish
members came 10 the rescue Of the Pope and his
temporal sovereignty, and treated liberalism in
Italy us a baneiul heresy.
Prince Napoleon was about to leave for Italy.
There was IL rumor that the Emperor had re-
fused his cousin permission to cross the Alps,
but we suppose from his announcement, that the
Imperial edict has been reconsidered The late
remarkable speech of the Prince, oil Italian
affairs, marked as it was by spirit of enlarged
liberalism and sympathy for Italy and her free
dom, will lend to his Italian journey great
political Significance, and insure him warm
welcome among the Italians The Spanish Min
istry had declared in favor Of the temporal power
of the Pope The people of Sicily were intend
ing to celebrate Garibaldi's saintday by gene
raj holiday.
Although some suppressed dissatisfaction exist
at Warsaw, order regns once more The citizen

The Atlanta (Geo.) Southern Confederacy"
Of the 10th instant in an article reviewing Ex-
Secretary Floyd's defence, takes occasion to pay
the following tribute to that gentleman, consider
ed from Southern point of view:
"But for the foresight and iirmncss and pa
irioiie providence of John b. Floyd, in what
stress and peril would the Cotton States be
tloundering this day lie saw the inevitable
doom Of the Uuion, or the doom of his own people
For many months past from his stand point, he
had an expanded field of vision which euabled
him to see the great danger which threaten
ed us, but which was hid below the horizon from
the eyes Of most Of US. When his faithful
loyalty TO bis own prosecuted people began its
labors in our defence, in what a condition was
the Southern Statesg The Moth bad the heavy
guns, the light arms, The powder and ball, Just
as the North had everything else that belonged
to the common Government. How quietly were
men shifted from our soil who might have been
here to day to murder US at Abraham Linooln's
order How slender the garrisons became in
Southern forts which were made for US and be-
long to nobody else, but which savage enemy
now chafes and RACES to get possession Of Who
/ sent 81 600 stand Of arms TO Georgia How
came 100000 more prime death, dealing rifles ut
Jackson, Mississippi And in short why have
we any thing at oil in the South to mail the
strong hands Of the sons Of the South with at
this hour when every heart and head aud arm of
her children are needed in her defence? Truth
demands it Of us to declare that we owe to John
d. Floyd an eternal tribute of gratitude for all
this. Had he been less the patriot than be wa.
we might now have been disarmed and at the
mercy Of a nation Of cut-thrOa:s and plunderers'

double house up town, we'll furnished, choicely
adorned and elegantly beauli6ed. Ills library,
for which be has an especial weakness, is one Of
the finest on the continent, and all the comforts
which taste can suggest or money furnish ure
provided at his hospitable dwelling. Mr.. Gree
ley, who is eminently not social or family man,
boards at the Everett House in dismal solitude,
while his better half and their mutual pledges Of
affection spend their time u Europe. Mr.. Ben
nett lives regally, sumptuOusly, splendidly, at
Washington Heights. The sold mao" as he ID
irreverently called by the boys in his Office, has
very many good points about him. Keen shrewd
kind, genial, liberal, euterprising, ambitious ant
strong, he may well defy the attacks Of jealous
rivals or the stabs of malice.
