pledged its faith to make provision at the ear
lest practicable period for the redemption Of
the United States notes in coin. Commercial
prosperity, the public morals, and the national
credit demand that this promise should be full
filed by a continuous steady progress towards
specie payment. The revenue necessary for
the current expenditure and the obligations Of
the Public Debt must be largely derived from
duties upon importations, which should 30 far
as possible be adjusted to promote the interests
of American lab0ur and to advance the pros
perity Of the whole country.

NJ, BUFFET.
PARIS, June re-.
An event has occurred here to-day which,
l think, may be considered as Of real impor
lance. M. Buffet has been elected Life
Senator by l44 votes, against TAI given to NJ,
Renouard,
The vote, the result Of the alliance of the
B0napartists, Legitimist5, and Right Centre
shows that the Senate contains a majority
hostile to the present form Of government, for
It is impossible not to regard NJ Buffet as an
avowed adversary Of that form, even in ito
most moderate shape. The comments which
have been passed on the events all this eve
ming may be conceived. [ notice only, as q
curious fact, that in the numberleG converse
tons l have heard / have not encountered a
single person who gave the least thought TO
the disappointment Of NJ. Renouard, whose
bigh position, UNREASONABLE qualifications,
and advanced age will render hln'pecu!efly
sensitive to this defeat.
This evenings Bourse does not seem to have
been affected by the election, and quotations
have been nearly unchanged.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
BRUSSELS, June Is.
The Nord Of this evening publishes another
article on the Eastern Question, in which it
says -
1.-THE language held by the English Minis
ters and the comments Of The British press
show that England desires the paoi6oation Of
the East by means of a real improvement in
the lot Of the population. One may congratu-'
late oneself upon seeing the English Cabinet
enter upon this path, and Russia especially
will approved its 50 doing, for it matters little to
her by whom the improvement of the unbeara-
BILE position of the Christian population in the
East is brought about. If the English Cabinet
lay claim to The initiative, it may rely before
hand upon the sympathies and approb baton of
the Russian Government and Of all the other
Powers
