      Prance. The ' Debate' Created Great Exci...

      PRANCE . The ' Debate' created great excitement by publishing a circumstantial account of arrangements "b y members of tbe Society of tbe Dix Decembre , to assassinate General _Changsrnier and M . Dupin , President ofthe Assembly . M . Dnpinf who is very brave when supported by a tyrannical majority , in putting down the members of the Left , took fright and shut himself up ; a deputation from the Committee of Permanence waited on the Minister Of the Interior to remonstrate with him , and instant inquiry was made into the truth of the report thus authoritatively made public . The' Constitutionnel the next day denied the whole story as a wine

      8 bon fabrication , having not the slightest foundation in trutb . M . Carlier , Prefect of Police , published a distinct denial , and suspended the pay of M . Yon , the Commissary of Police , to the Assembly , Who ' bad given the information onthe authority of two of bis agents . It appears that M . Yon holds nis position independent of tbe Prefect and tbe "Elysee ; and M . Dupin proposes to back up the police officer of tbe assembly by passing a special vote to pay bim his salary . Another indication of tbe had feelin ; between the Executive and Legislature powers . The celebrated Society of the Dix Decembre is at length definitely dissolved by a decree of the Government . Founded by the most intimate

      friends of Louis Napoleon , under the pretence of being an institution for the mutual relief of its members—patronised by the President himselfhaving the President ' s aides-de-camp , his physician , and his most devoted adherents as its leading memhers—the Society of the Dix Decembre devoted itself to the propagation of Napoleorist ideas . Its acts of charity were never beard of ; but the public cannot have forgotten the zeal with which its memhers watched the return of Lonis Napoleon from Strasburg , from Cherbourg , and from Satory , to salute him as Emperor ; the violence which tbey used towards the casual public , who refused to join ia the cry of ' Vive l'Bmperear V and the ardonr

      • with which their emissaries disseminated and obtained signatures in the provinces to petitions , praying for a prolongation of the President ' s powers . The proceedings of the clnb have been so frequently . exposed , that the prorogation committee of the Assembly , on several occasions , remonstrated with tbe Minuter of the Interior on the subject , and demanded the dissolution of the society , on the ground of its illegality . M . Baroche , in the name of the Government , invariably refuted . An association got np for the propagation of Bonapartism was not to be _classed with the Socialist clubs and tbe Minister declared distinctly that tbe Government "would net take any step for tbe dissolution of tbe

      Society cf the Dix Decembre . All this happened in the time 3 -when' perseverance' was the order of the day . Since then matters have changed : the Bonapartist Minister of "War has been sent to Algeria ' the President ha 3 allowed himself to be bearded by General Changarnier-. and orders of ibe day , forbidding tbe troops to give expression to their feelings , even if these feelings were those of devotion to Louis Napoleon have been issued ; and when the President ofthe Republic expressed his determination to get rid of the general who issned those orders , his Ministers declared , coolly , that if he did so they would desert him , and join the enemy .

      Besides this , the day of reckoning had arrived . The Assembly was about to meet , and the prorogation committee , which bad been narrowly watching the proceedings of Louis Napoleon himself as well as of Ins partisans , had a long score to settle . The proces verbal of the committee for the last two months , if laid before the Assembly in its present _hape , would amount to an impeachment of tbe Ministry , if not of the President himself , and would produce an agitation whicb wonld probaVly end in his ruin . The danger was , if possible , to be avoided : and the first measure of conciliation attempted was the sacrifice of the Societe du Dix Decembre .

      Tbe Court of Appeal of the Seine on Saturday confirmed the decision by which the tribunal of correctional police declared itself competent in the affair of the signatures of articles in the journals . The case will now be brought before the Court of Cassation . On Saturday the ' Mode / a Legitimist journal , was brought before the Court of Assizes for a libel on the President of tbe Republic The author of the article , M . de Besselievre , was acquitted , hut the _geront , M . Voillet , was found guilty , and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and a fine Of 2 _, 000 f . On Monday the Assembly resumed its sittings . "Upwards of 500 members were present . The proceedings were merely formal .

      The Italian opera was opened under the management of Mr . _Lumlev , ibe lessee of tbe English talian Opera House , oa Saturday night . The heatre was attended by tbe President , and all tbe notabilities in Paris , and the reopening of tbe bouse , -wbich bas been all bnt closed since the Revolution of 1848 , was hailed as an agreeable symptom of a cturn to more settled times . A much greater sensation was produced on Monday by an ingenious satire tban there-opening of the _Assembly .

      The Presse * published a document entitled' Message of the President of the Republic to the Legislative _Assembly , ' and signed L . N . Buonaparte . People stared at first to see this extraordinary appaient f otestalment of an official document which had not yet heen submitted to the presses ofthe national printing-office , and whicb was known to be guarded vrith the most jealous secrecy . Under the successive heads of Infernal Policy , Taxes and Budgets , Laborious Classes , Agriculture , Industry , Commerce , Instruction , Laws , the most radical principles appeared clothed in a rhetorical garb unknown to tbe official school . Still it waa not easy to account for the name of the President being attached to a document so manifestly apocryphal . The fact is that M . Girardin had got together a heap of pamphlets , published at various epochs by M . Louis Napoleon Buonaparte ,

      and taking a paw of scissors cut thereout and _wafeitd together this notable pseudo message , significant of tbe changes which have come over the mind of Louis Napoleon since he has heen installed in the presidential chair . This ingenious centone was the sole talk of Paris , and great was the buzzing of the Bourse over the singular production . The sensation pro . duced in high Tegions , _as the phrase is , was of vehement displeasure . Official contradictions _wers forwarded to the papers and to the Bourse . The ' Presse' was _seized both at the office and the post , and its conductors are to be prosecuted geront of the ' Presse , ' under the inculpation of having published , -with bad faitb , false news , and a document forged ; and mendaciously attributed tbe same to a third ] party ; which news and document were of a nature i to disturb the public pesce .

      We dare say the President deeply regrets having ' been so foolish or so honest as to write his celebrated ; pamphlet' The Extinction of Pauperism . ' His own ! Socialist writings are the strongest condemnation on ithe mean , selfish , and petty policy he ha 3 pursued \ since he attained pawer , mainly in consequence of ] his holding these opinions . The President ' s message had already heen put - nnder press , when it was determined , in consequence _( of the appearance of the mock message in tbe ' * Presse , ' to effect some alterations , with the view i of rendering the profitmongers and capitalists more * certain tbat _Lauis Napoleon does not mean _tomedi die with tbe system by which they draw the life ' blood from industry .

      Tbe speech was read on Tuesday by M . Baroche , j Minister of the Interior . The parts of the message i most applauded by tbe majority were the paragraphs j relative to the restoration of Pius IX . to the Pontii _fical Throne , the nomination of three new French < Cardinals , the pacific and moderate tone of foreign ] policy , tbe friendly feeling towards England , and in ] particular the moderate and disinterested manner in _i which the President alluded to tbe revision ofthe ( Constitution which he was bound by oath to respect . ' This last part was received with loud applause , which * was continued long after the Minister ceased reading . * Ti . denemour ot the Opposition was moderate .

      GERMANY . The _aspect of affairs has been totally altered , and i _rcudsred more menacing by the death of _CountBrant denhurg . the President of the Prussian Ministry , and the supporter of the absolutist cause in opponi tion to M . Radowitz , the representative of the coni stitutional party , whose retirement we noticed last _i week . Tbe death of the Connt , who was natural ti uncle to the king , is said to have been hastened by d disputes with the ting , and by his reproaches for I the part he had taken afc tbe Conference at Warsaw , \ when Russia and Austria outwitted him . The _imr mediate , result of bis death was a reversal - _ef- . his p policy " with respect to the hostile and aggressive P policy . of Austria . The ministry adopted a warlike a attitude . Radowitzwas closeted with the king . . The a army was ordered to be mobilised , and prepared for a active hostilities , and tbe Landwehr was ordered to

      be calledont , vmtking an addiHo _^ _i to _^ thealready numerous mass of " armed men now ; maintained by Prussia . - . Rumours have reached tbii country of skirmishes between the . outposts ofthe two hostile armieB in | Hesse , and the prospect ofan European war is imminent . The news . created a panic among , the speculators oil tbe Bourse at Berlin , but tbe correspondent of the ' Daily News' says : — 'The public received the intelligence , which was announced officially by the _« Deutsche Reform / with absolute rejoicing . In reality this joy , and the hopes wbich the prospects of actual hostilities bave excited in the bosoms of the hundreds of thousands of armed men ,

      whose _swqrdg are ready to rush from their scabbards at the mere word of command , rouse vague apprehensions ofthe consequences if their joy should be destroyed , and their hopes be rendered rain , by another submission on the part of Prussia to the arrogant demands of Austria . I do not believe that this will be the case : the intentions of the ministry are to take their ground on the position they at present bold , and to abide tbe consequences . Their acts speak for themselves . Tbe summoning of the Land wehr of the first class , a body of 140 , 000 men ( in fantry , ) with 20 , 000 men ( cavalry ) and 928 pieces

      of artillery , and of part of tbe Landwehr of the second class , 400 men of each battalion , but not the cavalry , are military measures taken only when war is no longer inevitable , and when tbe moat energetic proceedings are necessary to prevent its commencing _usfavourably . The standing army of Prussia , with the Landwehr of the first class and the portion of the . second class which has been summoned , will now amount to four hundred thousand men , with upwards of 2 , 000 pieces of cannon . A tolerably respectable force , with which to take the field and bold it , if tbe financial means be provided .

      Unless Prince Swhartzenberg recalls bis demand for the withdrawance of tbe Prussian troops from Hesse a war must ensue . The other German states are all making military preparations . The affairs of Scbleswig Holstein do not appear to bave in the slightest degree progressed towards a settlement . Gottfiried Kinkell , tbe eminent and patriotic Professor ef Bonn who was sentenced to death for the share he took in the Baden insurrection , and bas since been kept in close confinement has , we rejoice to state , escaped from the House ef-Correction at Spandau . Intercession bad been made with the King of Prussia to obtain bis pardon , or his removal to a fortress , as there were doubts whether

      his imprisonment among thieves and murderers was legal , the secondary punishment , for treason being , as in _Anstria , imprisonment in a citadel , with or without fetters . But the authorities were inexorable , and the poet and professor was treated witb tbe utmost strictness , clad in the convict ' s dreBS , denied the use of books or writing materials , and compelled to spin a certain quantity of wool daily . Little bad been heard of him since his removal to Spanda , but his friends had not lost sight of him , for from the manner of his escape he must have had assistance from without . On his cell being opened tbis morning it was fonnd empty , and a rope hanging from tbe window showed that he had descended by it to the ground .

      In Hanover tbe open collections of money for the war in Schleswi g Holstein bave been forbidden . - _Negotiations were going on between the hostile governments , with a view to prevent war . The' Cologne Gazette , ' under date Vienna , Nov . 8 th , Bays that the ultimatum of Austria ia that she will agree to the free conferences if Prussia will bind herself to the following stipulations : —1 . To evacuate Hesse Cassel within a week ; 2 . To evacuate Hamburg within six -weeks ; and 3 . Solemnly and formerly to renounce the union . While the diplomatists were discussing their points actual war commenced , as might have been foreseen , between the rival armies that bave been poured into Hesse . Letters have been received from Fulda , according to which the first shots have been fired on two

      points . - The Bavarian soldiers , cavalry , advanced with sheathed sabres . Tbe officer commanding the Prnssian outposts demanded the meaning of this proceeding , and requested tbe troops to halt . The Bavarians replied by laughter . Two warnings were then given on the Prussian side , and as , notwithstanding , the Bavarians still advanced and came within 300 paces of the opposite force , tbe Prussians fired . Several Bavarians fell , the remainder retired . The village was then evacuated by the Prussians , and occupied by the federal troops . A Bavarian _picquet _, sent to reconnoitre the village on another side , was repeatedly fired on by the Prnssian hussars , wbo , however , did it no serious barm . In consequence of tbe renewed warlike demonstration of Prussia Saxony has also resumed her armament .

      The intelligence from Stuttgart is important . On the 7 th the Assembly of the Estates was dissolved by an order from tbe King , upon its refusal to vote a sum of 300 , 000 florins to put the army upon a war footing . The proposition was rejected by fifty-two voices against five . When the result of the division was known Baron von Linden ascended the tribune ; and took the order for tbe dissolution of the Assembly ont of his pocket . It was to tbe effect tbat tbe Extraordinary Assembly of the Estates was dissolved and its authority in every respect at an end—tbat tbe old Committee of Deputies of the last regular Diet , which was in action before the 10 th of Aug ., 1849 , was again to step into action . As . soon as tbe

      terms of the dissolution were known a very stormy scene ensued . The President Schoder said , I reject this violation of the constitution , by virtue of which the old committee is called into action , and I summon the members to elect a committee out of their own body . ' ( Scbnitser , a member , called out , 'The constitution is violated . * *) Loud cries of 'Bravo ' at the President ' s proposition resounded through-the ball . Baron von Linden then said , I warn the Assembly not to venture upon any illegal steps . Tbis Assembly is dissolved , and its authority ia at an end in every respect . ' Wben he had said this tbe Minister left tbe hall . There was question of calling in the troops to send the members _a-packing , but nothing was done , and they proceeded quietly to elect their committee for guarding the constitution

      intact . The town was quiet all the evening , but the troops were confined to their barracks in case of tumults . Tbis is of course but a sample of the measures which are impending in every state in Germany sbould the present military attempt on the part of Austria to restore the previous state of things prove successful—that is to say , simply and purely so , without tbe introduction of safeguards wbich are not as yet foreseen . . As soon as a German Court feels tbat it has military strength on its side , and finds itself incumbered by the action of a Chamber which was only tolerated in troublesome times , we may judge from the . conduct ofthe Court of Stuttgart what course it will adopt . It is the conviction oi tbe profound insincerity of the Courts which gives vigour to the Prussian cause throughout the Rhenish provinces .

      The 'Cologne Gazette' has two telegraphs from Berlin—one dated on the morning .. of the 12 Nov ., nd the other in the evening of the same day . The first states that the last intelligence received there was to the effect that Hanover bad protested against the match through that country of the Austrian troops on their way to Holstein . It adds , ' The situation becomes very serious . ' The second despatch stale ' that the Russian military divisions were in motion towards the west , with a view to the occupation of Austria ' s eastern provinces , in tbe event of war . Field-Marshal Radetski was expected in Prague with 50 , 000 men .

      A letter from Cassel , dated November 11 , states tbat Hersfeld _, tbe position of the Prussians at the date ofthe last intelligence , had been abandoned by them . This opens the way to Cassel to the Austrians and Bavarians . The' Frankfort Journal' states that tbe federal _t-oops will march immediately from Fulda to CasseJ Dates from Yienna of tbe 10 th state -that on tbe previous day four heavy cavalry regiments departed for the Silesian army , while frontier battalions passed through almost daily for Bohemia .

      Tbe' Frankfurter Oberpostamts Zeitung' argues tbat war may be somewhat less imminent tban some suppose , from the fact tbat no orders have been received for the mobilisation of the Thuringian con . _tiugent . The entire frontiers of Coburg were occupied by Austrian troops , to the number of 20 , 000 , with forty guns . The papers are full of accounts of movements of troops in all directions . A telegraphic despatch from Vienna , November 9 , states tbat the modified Austrian ultimatum sent to Prussia required the giving up of the union , and granted free conferences with the acknowledgment of the Bundestag .

      . The . •* Kolner Zeitung' states , from _Catlsruhe , that the division . of Baden among the south German Powers has been * agreed npon in the * Conference at Bregenz . The' Deutsche Zeitung aus Bohmen' says that the

      Conferences at Warsaw were held solely for the purpose of concerting measures against Prussia and tbe revolutionary propaganda in Europe .

      ROME . While the aggressive policy of the Pope is producing so much excitement in this country , his power is clearly decreasing in his own capital . The correspondent of the ' Daily News' under date of the 4 th inst ., says : — I have juit witnessed the state procession of . his Holiness to the church of San Carlo , this morning . There were a good number of spectators , but all observed a dead silence as the Pope passed ; French infantry occupied tbe piazza , ysbirri and police were in great abundance , and the carriage of his Holiness _wisa preceded and followed by art unusually strong escort of noble guards . French dragoons and gendarmerie . Roman cavalry and carabinieri . ; It is melancholy to see , the pastor visit bis flock _nitb such a threatening array .

      It was especially observed this morning tbat no one went on his knees to implore the papal ; benediction , and but a few of tbe bystanders took off their hats , as the sovereign cortege passed , in con . sequence of which coldness his Holiness * chiefly occupied himself in blessing the French troops . Could be but have heard the remarks of the crowd , be would have had enough to reflect upon during bis ride homewards to the Vatican ; but no doubt he is sufficiently well-informed of all that goes on . _ It ia a fact , and a lamentable one too , that a feeling of deep and settled resentment prevails between Pio Nono and his , subjects . On the . part of the people this feeling has originated in the destruction

      of liberty , the imposition of grinding taxes , and the oppression of foreign , troops , attributable to the restored government ; whilst the Pope ' s vanity has been too profoundly wounded for him ever to pardon those who not only dethroned him , but > laughed at him and all his cardinals into the bargain . Hence springs the merciless . disposition pervading all his present actions . A conversation which Cardinal Ugolini had with bis Holiness two days ago displays this feeling more strongly than any observation on my part . The cardinal introduced the subject of the new taxes , in the hope of mitigating ; the Pope ' s resolution in some measure , but bis Holiness soon

      pnt an end to the discussion by stating that he was well aware of the discontent and ill-humour that the measure bad produced , but tbat taxes were ne . ces 8 ary , that they were imposed in every country in the world , and that , however reluctant bis subjects might be in the beginning , tbey would pay as quietly as passible in the end . This remains to be seen ; meanwhile , the Romans have recourse to their usual weapons , those of satire . Thelast pasquinade-which has appeared OU the walls of the city is of rather a warning tone . It is as follows : — " Antonelli , Antonelli !

      Nontoccar i poverelli ! Che se tu li toccherai . Non arrivi ai Carhevale !" " Antonelli , Antonelli , touch not the poor ! If you touch them you'll never see Carnival more !"

      SPAIN . At the _first sittings of the Cortes , some sharp debating took , place upon the wholesale bribery and ntimidation employed by the government at the elections . During the election some electors had their houses searched aud tbeir persons arrested , under the pretext that tbey bad been smuggling , ih order to prevent them from going to the poll .

      TURKEY . At ten inthe morning of the 23 rd of October , the 120 gun ship , Neiri-Shefket , carrying the Admiral's flag , blew up iu the Golden Horn . Of -700 men who were on board , only 200 bodies had been picked up . The ' Journal de Constantinople ' of the 24 th thus describes tbis appalling accident : —' Yesterday ( Wednesday , ) about ten in the morning , a frightful explosion shook the whole port . The three-decker , Neiri-Shefket , of 120 guns , bearing the admiral ' s flag , blew up in the part of the port

      situated below the arsenal iu tbe midst of the whole Ottoman fleet . The powder magazine had caught fire . In a few minutes the port was strewn with fragments of the ship mixed with dead bodies . The ship remained for five minutes rockiug before sbe went down , and then sank , leaving only her maintopgallant mast above water . Between six and seven hundred men were on board the admiral ' s ship wben this dreadful catastrophe , of whicb tbe causes are still unknown , took place . About 200 bodies have been picked up . '

      AMERICA . By the last steamer wc have advices to the 29 th ult . The news from Mexico reach to tbe 20 th . ult . The _Preaidental election had been held , but the returns , which were beginning to Come in freely , do not yet show wbo bas been the successful candidate . According to present appearances , the choice lies between Almoute , who was supported by the extreme Federal or Democratic party , and probably received the votes of the State of Mexico , and Arista , belonging to the Moderate Republican school of

      politics , and sustained by the whole government influence . The votes in bis favour are less than was expected , although it is supposed by some that his election has been secured . It is not improbable that the election may terminate in a revolution ; In case of the success of Almonte , it is stated that Arista would endeavour to establish the independence of the North-eastern States under the name of the Republic of the Sierra Madro , in whicb portion of the country he is very papular , although tbe States composing it have always adhered to the Federal politics represented by Almonte .

      Theravages of the Indians on the North-eastern frontier bave excited the . attention of the Mexican government , which is about to take vigorous measures for their suppression . Don Tomaa Murphy has been appointed Minister to Great Britain , in place of Dr . Mora . The railroad between Vera Cruz and Saq Juan was opened on the 16 th of September . The latest accounts from Cuba state that on the 7 th and 8 th inst . _seventeen persons , all Cubans , were arrested by the new Governor of _Matanzas , on the charge of being spies and revolutionists . They are some of the most wealthy and conspicuous persona on the island . A part of them succeeded in escaping from the prison in which tbey had been confined , and the rest have since been released by order of the Captain-General .

      The Dominican government are making active preparations to repel the expected invasion by the Haytiens under the-Emperor'Faustin I . The Dominican fleet , which _i consists of one ship , one barque , three brigs , and a large number of schooners was being put in order for actual service * , the fortifications were undergoing repairs ; and every male inhabitant capable of military duty bad been enrolled . The command of the army was entrusted to

      Santa Anna , who had entered upon bis functions with great zeal . There was no want of arms or ammunition . The acknowledgment of the in dependence of the Republic of St . Domingo , in the treaty recently ratified with England , was ' celebrated by a public dinner , at which the President of the Republic occupied the chair , and the British Consul was present . In the course Ofa speech by the latter , it was stated that England would not interfere in the approaching struggle with Hay ti .

      : The excitement with regard to the Fugitive Slave Law still continues strong in the Northern States . It has been denounced in the severest terms by the several religious . bodies ; and the citizens have been recommended , on principles of conscience , not to comply with its provisions . Every attempt to put the law in execution has been met ; with general expressions of public indignation . In Boston / the opponents of the law have organised a large and active Committee of Vigilance , for the purpose of extending protection to the fugitive ,, and throwing every obstacle in the way of executing the law . Several civil officers have refused to aid the Marshal in making arrests . Still , a number of fugitives , in dread of being captured , have fled to Canada .

      The country was still in the midst of the excitement caused by the elections . Each party weie using the moBt Btrenuous exertions for . the _succtss of their respective tickets . ' The most important item of news supplied by the Californian papers is the failure of two extensive establishments—one an old and respectable concern ; the other a large banking-house . Tbe causes of these failures are said to arise out of the late fires , and the consequent check given to all business affairs . The accounts from the mines were highly cheering ; the precious ore continued abundant . The ' New York Tribune' has seen ' a gentleman who had visited the ' Gold _Mountain in California , so long supposed to be fabulous ; and the 'Tribune ' _sives this information : —

      " The Gold Mountain Hies in about lat , 33 deg . north , 250 miles ' east of Los ' _AngelijB iii' Southern California , and about 100 miles west of the Colorado . It ia almost nacceasible , across deserts of sixty or

      eighty miles in width , there being no grass , timber _, or water in its vicinity . Tbe nearest water to It tj sixteen miles . The 7 * Gold Mountain' rises _^ about 450 feet rather steeply from a range of hills abput . B quarter of a mile long . ,. , The hills are composed ofa dark hornblende rock , with perhaps a tenth of white . feldspar intermixed with it ; and the gold is found in hotn , generally running in streaks or strings , though sometimes showing bulbs or lumps like a button . _/ " nas been found by . _analysis to yield an average of about two and a half dolls , per pound ofthe rock . in

He dug thus with two Indians for . four hours , obtained about ten ounces of pure gold , taking only the ' lumps , ' having nothing to wash the earth with . Probably as much was thus left as taken . . He aid not try in any other _Bpot , but has no doubt that the gold extended all tbe way from Sonora , in Northern Mexico , to the Upper Sacramento and Oregon , a distance of full 800 miles . Theregion here described is about 500 miles from the nearest diggings _lnCalu fornia , but cannot be approached by less than 1 , 000 miles of actual travel . It is very near the boundary line just established by Congress , between Utah and California . 7 .

      * A company has been formed in San Francisco , expressly to mine this' Gold Mountain' and vicinity . It is entitled the « Los _Angelos Gold Mining Company , ' and has or is to have a capital of 750 , 000 dollars . It has already Bent forward a pioneer party of 100 miner ** , with implements , provisions , & c . The men are well provided and armed , and are to be paid six dollars per day , and found . ' Panama . — -About the 20 th nit . an abortive at .

      tempt at revolution was contemplated here , the chief object being to separate that part of the Re . public : of Nueva Grenada from the rest ; to make it independent of the same , as a Bepublic of Nueva Colombia , and then to that of the Uuited States . The principal movers in the affair were , Dr . Theller _, formerly a Canadian rebel , . afterwards a naturalised citizen ofthe United States } General Espirtee , " and some few , other . native , American , French '* and Italian residents in Panama . The opinion of all

      well-thinking people was that their intention was p lunder , without any political design . An attempt was made to purchase arms and ammunition from the British ship John Brewer ; but tbis having been discovered in good time , they were prevented carrying their plan into execution , the captain refusing te sell anything to them- except' through bis consignees . The matter now lies in the hands of the authorities .

      _Suvebv m the Umted Statbb . —At ; a meeting of the Committee ofthe British ahd "Foreign Anti-Slavery Society , held at No . 27 , New Broad-street , on Friday , the 1 st inst ., Mr . George' Stacey'in the chair , the following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " . That thia committee have' witnessed with profound ' regret the acts of 7 the United States Congress daring its last , session ; in relation to slavery , and feel it to be their dutyto record their condemnation of the spirit in which tbey were conceived , the principles on which they are based , and

      the objects they were intent to accomplish . That this committee more particularly reprobate and denounce the act for thoreca ' pture of - fugitive slaves as an outrage upon the dearest rights of humanity , and a daring violation of the laws of God . ' That this committee deeply sympathise with the coloured population ofthe United States , in their present most trying and painful ' circumstances , and would earnestly exhort the friend ' sof freedom throughout the Union to use every legitimate means , in a firm and Christian spirit , to effect the entire and im _« mediate abolition of this most iniquitous law .
