LONDON. July 29.-The act passed by
Congress for the protection of Ameri-
can citizens abroad, is unfavorably crit
icised by the English press, although
its passage does not appear to excite
surprise or anger. The journals affect
to consider the bill a partisan measure
for effect on elections, but they think 1t
will not promote the success of Ameri-
can negotiations with foreign powers to
secure the establishment of principles
of nationality.
PARIS, July 29.-The Corps Legisla-
tif closed its session today.
PARIS, July 29.-In the case of the
United States versus Arman and others,
judgment was to day rendered against
the plaintiff with costs. In its decision
the court says the evidence adduced
was insufficient TO support the case
made by the United States; that the
plaintiff had failed to prove that the
said Messrs. Arman had contracted to
build vessels of war for the Southern
Confederacy, or that the said Arman
had received any monies belonging to
the Government ofthe United States.
LONDON, July 29.-The Times says
the passage of the American citizens
act will surprise no one, 1t was to be
expected that the majority OF the
United States Congress would make
through such a measure as this direct
bid for the irish vote in the coming
election. There is nothing in the gen.
eral principle of the bill for England to
deny or oppose. Irishmen who have
taken out their naturalization papers
in the United States, may properly use
American passports while travelling in
Europe, or serve in the armies of the
United States, even against Great Bril-
tain, SO long as their new citizenship is
a bonafide Qualification made in accord
ance with the American naturalization
laws nothing can be said. The real
purpose of the Fenian is protected
by the new citizenship thus con-
ierred on him to make war
upon the Queen of England in her
realm, but here they must be treated as
subjects guilty of treason. Aliens and
natives are on the same footing. In
such a case the denial of a jury to
mediate lingua in the trial OF the
Jacamal packet prisoners was right be-
cause the trial OF such case as that de-
pended on internal international laws.
The evidence obtained in the United
States against these prisoners to prove
that thew were members of the Fenian
Brotherhood was merely collateral.
The real crime charged against these
men was committed on British terri
tory. The Times even accepts the rule
that a naturalized citizen of the Y nited
States may come TO England with I'M
puntty after plotting against the Qneen
IN in America, if he come peaceably.
ST.. PETERSBURG, July 29.-Emperor
Alexander has called a conference OF
Is members to meet on the 10Th Of Au-
gust next, at st. Petersburg, for the
purpose of arranging the details OF
international conventions, pledging all
great powers to abandon the use OF
explosive bullets in time of war.
LONDON, July 29.-The mail steamer
from South America has arrived out.
Intelligence has been received from
Brazilian sources, that the President
of Paraguay, Gen. Lopez, had sent
propositions for peace TO the allied
powers, through the medium OF the
American Minister to Paraguay, Mr..
DuBL1N, July 29.-The marquis ol
Aberiom, Lord Lieut.. of Ireland is to
be made duke.
