ammunition, doubtless designed for the south.

Austrian government had demanded eXplana-
tons relative to Palmerston's speech on Italy r,
as far as regards the retention Of Venetia.
The Times has a sarcastic editorial on Lin
coins proclamation for day of thanksgiving,
and thinks it quite premature, as affairs at the
time were most critical, and battles were i'm.
pending. 1t asks the meaning of that part
of the proclamation which refers to deliver
ance from foreign invasion and Intervention,
and scarcely thinks it can be for tardy justice
done in the Mason aud SlideIl affair.
1t is proposed to consolidate the public
debt of France in one uniform security at 8
per cent
Gaibaldi has renounced the intention of

The American minister has taken for

Place, London. whittier the office of the Uni
ted States legation will be transferred.
The Times has another editorial on the
American struggle. 1t sees nothing for the
blacks but slavery, determination, or expul-
sion. A weekly Journal is to appear in Lon

rebels. The Literary Gazette is defunct, at
ter an existence OF forty five wears.

FROM NNASpIINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May THE senate will,
without unnecessary delay, proceed to con.
slider the tax bills, and it is thought the re-
port of the committee on finance will be
adopted without material change. The tax OF
20 cents per gallon on whiskey and 20 cents
per pound on tobacco, it is estimated, will
yield forty millions of dollars. Should the
views Of the minority committee prevail, it is
supposed the revenue from these sources
would be considerably increased.
The four o'clock boat from fortress Monroe,
brought no authentic news from Williams
burg. The correspondents are probably with
the advance, which is distant from Geographic
communication. 1t will be some time before
a correct list OF casualties can be forwarded.

CINcINNArI, May I'm the United States
circuit court, at the April term, 1861 the
grand jury found an Indictment Of treason
against james w. Chenoweth, for furnishing

adhering TO their enemies in giving aid and
comfort relates only to pubic war with IA
foreign enemy. Justice Swayne gave his de.
cison yesterday, sustaining the motion by
quashng the indictment.
