added still another hope for your race.

New YORK, Aug. 2.--The steamship Amer
lea, from Southampton July %, arrived at
noon. The Canada, from Boston, arrived at
Queenstown the 18th.
In the British house Of lords. the Duke of
Argyle asked the government to give tacili
ties establishing a ship canal from Lake Erie
to Ottawa, for conveying grain through Cana
da instead of the United States.
Lord Granville regretted that the Canadians
had not provided sufficient militia for defence,
in case OF war. He said it was impossible tor
England to defend Canada unless Canada aid
ed the work.
The London Times city article says the
American news by the Canada was received
with surprise, disappointment, and satisfac-
ton; surprise at the sudden collapse of the
Yicksburg defence, disappointment at the re-
moval, owing to Lees retreat, of all prospect
of an end of the war, and satisfaction in con-
templatng England's wisdom in not prema-
turely yielding to the recent pressure for CON
federate recognition.
In France the Constitutional regrets tine
Impotence of those who demand the immedi-
ate publication of the Russian replies. and
says, the replies are being examined by the
three Powers, which positively intend ON
agreeing on me ms of settling the question
definitely. The Paris journals consider the
Russian replies unsatisfactory. The inten-
tons of the French Cabinet, regarding the
Polish reply, will be made within three days.
Russia admits the six propositions, and re-
jjects the armistice. A repression Of the in
surrecton is necessary, and an amnesty can
be offered meanwhile. Russia is willing to
accept the principle of conference itself, but
does not admit the right Of all the eight
powers who signed the final act of Vienna to
participate in the conference until England,
France, Austria, Prussia, and Russia are
agreed
In Poland the Russian military officers are
invested with administrative functions. A
Cossack detachment, while plundering Gal
GREW, was cut to pieces. The Instruction
in Smiatega is increasing; 500 Russians were
defeated near Lubartow and 800 at Sabota
The Russians were beaten twice on the 10Th
and once on tie 18th. The Austrian govern
ment is extremely dissatisfied with the last
Russian reply.
