By the arrival of the steamer Franklin, we have intelligence seven day- later from all parts of Eu- rope. The commercial news iv not materially differ- ent in its aspect from that recently received* by the Asia’s mails. There has been no change in the price of cotton. The political news from England is very curious, and well worthy of examination, though we perceive nothing to change the views expressed by us re- ently, on the arrival of the Asia. The pariiamen- tary session has opened politically for the third time, the cabinet of Lord John Kussell having’ the pl of power This appears very anomalous in the habit of seeing th along, with a minori y in favor of their an sures; but so common is it here, and so recenily has it been exhibited in France, that uo apprehen- sions need be entertained at such a state of things. ‘There have been many occasions in England when @ “weak government,” according to the defi of Sir Henry L.

All the government requires is delay —delay—delay The clesiastical bill will not satisfy England, und the government cannot carry that measure. ‘They should contrive to withdraw it, and introduce another, even though it might be of about the same import. In gaining time, they ‘will gain a few adherents; for the strength of the constitutional, or Protestant fecting, may become relaxed, in the course of a few months, so far as to earry « milder serie: measures than those are now demanded. However, in the ¢ aly apomalous position in which Lord John Russell finds f, there will be much curiosity to know how ing of the ecclesiastical titles bill will be treated. It wus to take place, if possble, en the fourteenth inetant. The Freneh news ix without special interost; but we have placed everything of importa from Paris in our news cvlumus, to which we refer the reader. The Austrian and Pru elucidated very clearly russia, upon preserving her rights, and pr the old Diet, rather than make a p ian question f¢ not yet is said, insi fers to return te ew unsatisfactory errangement. ‘This exhibits a new phase on the part of Prusia.

Cuba News and Cuba ( We have received, by the steamship Ohio, some vate sources. By # private letter, we are informed that, onthe 13th, a * baker’s dozen” of arrests were made in Havana, charged with having received proclamations of Lopez, &e. Of these prisoners, it is said some five or six were cnt to Spain, by the mail steamer of the 10th; the rest, including Bun- baria, the chief, being confined inthe Moro, We are also informed of an intent at invasion, during | this month, bys Lopez and company; but that it has, from various good reasons, been postponed for two or three mouths; and, also, that a New Or- leans banker furnishes to the new expedition $200,- 000, for which he is to receive $250,000 from the re- volutionary government, if successful, ora premium of $50,000. Now, all this would be very important and very startling information if it were true in any impor- tant particular. Considerable experience, however, casts it into disrepute. All these items of a new in- vasion are doubtless gross exaggerations and falsi- fications, originating with Lopez or his emissaries, It is the system which they have pursued for the last two years: it is the secret of their subsistence. ‘They have contrived, by such means, to gulla few credulous men out of their sympathy and their money, and some misguided adventurers to their graves; but they have accomplished nothing to justify any present alarm. ‘The idea that a New Orleans banker would be silly enough, atter the affair of Cardenas, to ad- vance Lopez any sum of money, upon any terms, for another such expedition, is perfectly absurd; and the idea that any force ean be mustered by Lo- pez, within two gr three mouths, or twelve months, sufficient to induce him to make another deseent upon Cuba, is equally preposterous. er wasthe island in a better defensive position, She has a popular Captain General, with « regular land foree of 30,000 men, in constant readiness for anaval force of three Spanish war steamer: oreight sailing vessels, guarding the ¢ dition to this, there is no questi thies of the British and French are agai scheme of Lopez, and all expeditions of that vet.
