AS | have said, the recital Of the Cardi-
nal of what occurred to himself produced
a profound sensation, and, in spite of all
that could be alleged by the Reporter Of
the petition, the Senate voted for refer
ring it TO the Minister of the Interior.
The Peruvian iron-plated corvettes In
dependencia aud Huascar have sailed
from Brest, escorted beyond the French
waters by the iron-plated frigate Flandre,
sent from Cherbourg for that purpose.
AS these vessels were built in England
the French authorities could not detain
them, but they would not permit the
commanders to engage French seamen,
or to purchase warIike stores at Brest.
The same measures adopted for these
vessels will be applied TO the Spanish
iron-plated frigatc Tetuan, expected in a
few days in IA French port. She will only
be permitted TO supply herself with coal
and provisions, as The Alabama and Kcar-
sarge were during their visit to Cher

AMERICA V. THE UNITED
STATES.

Resolutions have been introduced into
Congress to change the designation Of the
country from the "United States to that
of "America" simply. The resolutions,
which have been referred to the judiciary
Committee, are as Observation-Disclosures
il has been proposed that the Constitution
of the United States shall be in several
respects amended, so as to compOrt with
The new interests and condition Of the
country; and whereas, if said Constitu-
tion is to be reopencd for further amend
meDt in any respect, it is desirable that
the opportunity should be improved by
giving the country a name worthy of It's
destiny and whereas there are several
Governments which are known under the
name of United States;' and whereas the
term United States is not sufficiently
comprehensive and significant to Indicate
the real unity and destiny of the American
people: and whereas the present COnsti-
tuition is devoid Of any article declaring n
national title, after the form of the first
article of The old Articles Of Conftdera-
iion,' now abolished and whereas, there
fore, said Constitution fails to proclaim a
title for the nation except through such
usage of the term United States of Amer
ica' from said articles of confederation as
was necessary for facility of indication,
therefore-Resolved by the Senate and
House Of Representatives Of the United
States of America, III Congress assembled,
That the title which above all others Is
constantly conceded to this country
throughout the world, and which is its
proper title as the paramount Power of
this hemisphere, 10 wit, the title of
America, shall hereafter supersede the
term of 'the United States of America
through the adoption of the following
words at the end ofthe first article of said
Constitution :-'And do also ordain that
the United States of America shall here
after be known and styled America"
