There is one man, it seems, who has
read the wholesof Mr. Summers speech
on Russian America. 1t, was an ugly
subject to handie-we mean the perusaI
of the-document.-The subject was ex-
hausted, the Senate also must have been
exhausted. The person who has read it
|! is Mr.. Berjintzky, who has translated it
into tbe Russian tongue, and it is TO be
published in pamphlet form for circula-
tion i'll Russia. Such an inAiction upon
Russia could hardly have been anticipat-
ed, or the bargain would have failed.
| The Emperor Napoleon has present
ed to the University at South Bend, Ind,
a superb and powerful telescope, valued
at 25,OU0 francs. 1t has inscribed upon
it in French, presented by his Imper-
ial Majesty Napoleon Ill, to the Catholic
University Of Notrs Dame du Lac, In

that the 18th section of the Bankrupt
law provides that "the assignee sh III keep
a regular account of all money received

the money to which it refers, and so Con
gress has introduced a license, WEI known

+ Imperial officers in Mexico are in an
| unpleasant predicament. Those captured
at Queretaro, it is understood, have either
been shot or. are to b. SO, aud now it is
an ounced that Escobedo has issued an
order to the effect that every Imperial
officer who did not surrender within TWEEN
| ty-four hours, would be treated in the
same manner, There can be little differ

| Considerable CONSERVATION seems to
be caused at Par s. by the extraordi larry
preparations which the Sultan of Turkey
is making for his proposed visit to Par.s
in Jul y. His SUITE it is said alwill con-
slst OF five hundred persons-including
three hundred women and fifteen cunuchs,
in fact the greater part of his harem.
| The great question is, where : all these
Visitors are to be lodged, If, the Grand
Turk should insist upon their remaining
| with himself: the Tuileries will scarcely
| be sufficient for their accommodation.
| The arrival of the Sultan and his suite ia
Paris will be likely to produce a greater
sensation IN Partisan society than those of
all the other Emperors and Kings COM
