sent to reinforce Wcitzel, who Is holding "a strong
position ut Berwick Bay.
The rebels have strong Notifications at Butte La
Ross. 1t is reported that the ram Queen IF TIL
IVtSt is located there.
1t is now stated that the failure of Gen. Banks
to attack Port Hudson on the night 4f March l4th.
was owing to the fact Of Farragut having started
his fleet at night, instead of lust before daylight
eight hours before the time agreed upon-thus pre-
venting Banks from getting his artillery in II posi-
ton to draw the rebels from their entrenchments.
Banks and Grover are reported to have been with
in COO yards of the cnemy's batteries on the night
the fleet passed Port Hudson.
The pirate Fyorida had burned on Saturday
week the ship star Of Peace, bound from Calcutta
to Boston. The FZorida reports having been
chased after leaving Barbados by the Taqde,biH,
when night coming On, she tackled ship and stood
still with all lights cXtinguished and the steam
stopped. The FGHderJiH kept on and the pirate
escaped.
From the Bern1udian of March 25th. it appears
that the FHoridq left Carlisle Bay on the night of
February 18th March p having taken in supplies
of provisions and coal on the 9th instant. March p
The VdndcrbU arrived and sailed again on the fol-

letters of marque and %re!risal. The question has
been discussed at more than one Cabinet meeting.
in connection with the question as to the proper
means to adopt to prevent the construction and
sailing of rebel vessels from foreign ports.
Rear Admiral Porter telcgraphs to the Navy
Department that the rams Lancaster and Sucif&er-
land attempted the passage Of the NickSburg lat
teries contrary TO his judgment. He adds. that
the rams were totally unprepared for the voyage,
and that it was madness t. attempt to pass the

New York. April l.
The steamer & City of Washington from Liverpool
the 18th, and Queenstown the 10Th, has arrived
Parliamentary proceedings were uuimportsn'. The
Polish question assumes great prominence and import
ance. The French diplomatic correspondence is pub
lished, showing the gravity of the question. The
French Senate is debating the petitions in favor Of
Poland.
An influential meeting. held in London. denounces
the course Of Russia. and called for a cessation of di-
plamatic intercourse with her until a reform was
brought about. The = Morning Post contained a
warlise and threatening article after this meeting, but
the q" Times " r~epudiates the idea of breaking off inter-
course.
1t was rumored that the Russians had been defeated
near Iarnowa.
The report was current on the Paris Bourse, that the
Gar had replied to France that he was unable TO make
any concessions TO the Poles until the instruction was
subdued.
Austria will enter into no arrangements with France
or England, but will act according to circumst noes.
Prussia was concentrating troops on the Polish
frontier.
A deputation had a conference with Lord Palmers-
ton, urging the interference of England in favor of
Poland, and its belief that war would be popular.
Lord Palmerston did not commit himself.
The = Gil Bias which arrived at Havre on the
18th, reports that, February %, in Latitude u > north,

The London " News" says that the Gibraltar

The screw steamer sSoutherner,' intended for the
Confederate Navy, was launched the week before the
. Hansa . sailed.
Various Peruvian vessels, that were EMPLOYED in
the transportation Of emigrants from Polynesia, have
been detained by the French authorities, under the i'm
precision that the captains of those vessels were taking
their passengers from places belonging to the Empire,
and that they awaited themselves of improper means to
seduce those simple people on board their ships. AL
most all the vessels detained have been released on the
condition that they abandon this unlawful trade.
There is nothing of much interest to report from
Chile this mail. In the Departments Of the Gov
ernment, nothing has been transacted for the past fort
night.
The subject of religious liberation is occupying some
being brought into notice by articles for and
against, in the different newspapers. Although in
Chile, at present, every sect is allowed to worship ac-
cordimg t. its own creed, yet they are quite at the
mercy of the authorities. 1t is to be hoped that the
advanced civilization of Chile, and of all the South
American Republics, will rot merely accord religious
liberation as a privilege, but establish it as a right.
