New YORK, March 23.-The Australian,
which left Liverpool on the morning of the
| 1lth, and Queenstown the 18th, arrived here
at $50 this z. NJ. The Etna reached Queens
| town about noon on the 10th.
The news by the Etna of the fall of Will
mingtOn was not unexpected, and the eff
feet, therefore, was not so great as it other
wise would have been. Federal securities
improved, but the Confederate loan was on
ly shade easier having declined in antici-
patton. At Liverpool and Manchester there
was increased flatness in the cotton trade.
The Army and Navy Gazette says the
news by the Etna is of character general
ly to tax the faith of those who believe that
the Confederates will maintain their cause
in the field. Lees communications are
threatened on all sides. Grant, as if pre-
pairing for rush, has contracted his lines
and is awaiting Thomas infantry from the
west, Hood and his Confederates being
quite in dabiis.
In the House of Commons Lord Robert
Cecil inquired if demands had been made
by America for compensation for the do
ings of the Alabama and other cruisers
Mr.. Layard said no demand of the kind,
within the past six months, had been made.
Mr.. Bright asked whether the Government
had not received and presented numerous
claims from Englishmen? Mr.. Layard re-
sponded in the affirmative. Lord Palmer
ston, in reply to inquiries said Government
had no intention to repeal the Aberdeen act
relative to Brazil. WI Il t -f
Efforts were still progressing through
Portugal to re-establsh friendly relations
with Brazil. Duke d'Merny died ON the
10th.
In the French Senate, during the debate
on the address, the Marshal d Boissy,
among other offensive remarks, strongly
expressed the wish that the Federals and
Confederates might fight on to the COM
plete ruin of both, rather than that the
French army in Mexico should be made
prisoners by the conclusion of peace
Loud disapprobation.]
The Bank of France gained 29,000000f.
cash during the week. Bourse dull.
AT an audience between the Pope and the
French Minister, the Pope ignored the
Convention of September, and declined the
invitation to form an army.
Weekly returns OF the Bank of England
show decrease in the bullion of 4,2760
pounds. ,
Barring Bros. & Co.'S. circular says $40
