The following is copy of the news sum

which sailed from Liverpool on Oct. 25th
The Paris correspondent of the Times re-
iterates the statement that Secretary Seward
had sent dispatch TO the French Govern
ment charging that the African project was
thought of, but owing to the insurrection in
Soudan the troops could not be spared, so the
project fell through.
The Times says if America had reason to
think such a scheme had been proposed, she
was fully justified in demonstrating; but apart
from the introduction of the Mussulmen troops
into Mexico, America had no just complaint
against France.
1t is quite certain that the occupation was
temporary, and solely directed to the mainten-
ance of Maximilian's throne.
The Fenians were to be tried by a special
commission The excitement had almost en-
tirely subsidized
1t is stated that Mexico is about to settle the
claims of the holders of deferred bonds.
1t is stated that England is negotiating for
a commercial treaty with Austria.
The Committee of Control Of the Austrian
debt are about to have an interview with the
Emperor to present objections to thsirremoval
from office.
1t was expected that the Imperial consent
would be given to the new regulations proposed
by the committee. 1t reported that the Aus
trian Council of Ministers have resolved TO
concede separate ministry to Hungary.
The statement that Austria is raising troops
for Mexico has been modified. Negotiations
are pending for permission to fill vacancies at
the Mexican expense.
The free town of Frankfort has energetically
repelled the imputations of Austria and Prus-
sia, and the Frankfort Senate has determined
to uphold the independence of the city. 1t
was thought the case is one of attempted spo-
liation.

the city of Havana shows that a cargo of eight
hundred Africans was recently landed in the
harbor of San Cristobal. There was pretence
of seizure by the Government officials, but
only one hundred and forty yseven of the whole
number were really rescued. The others were
run off and sold. The traffic is carried on
through the connivance of some of the au-
thorities, who share the profits with the slave
traders The men who ''back' the trade are
among the millionaries of the island. The
