The Cunard steamship Arabia, Captain Judkins, arrived at this port at two o’clock yesterday after- noon. She left Liverpool at twelve o’clock on Satur- | day, the 12th inst. She has thus made the passage jn eleven days and two hours. The news is three days later, and Mghly interest. | ing. Europe appears to be slumbering over a vol- eano. ‘There had been an insurrection in Milan. and Kossuth were mixed up in it. The insurrection bad been made the pretext for assembling an im- | mense body of Austrian troops near the frontier, and the state of Europe altogether is deemed far from satisfactory. There is serious disquietude in Ger- many, and the condition of the East also furnishes verious apprehensions for the future. From Hun- | gary, the accounts concur in stating that the Aus- trian government, is in continual fear of fresh in- garrections, and that it is uncertain, at any moment, when a popular outbreak may occur. But the governments of Europe are too well prepared for the success of any revolutionary attempt for the present. The report presented on the 11th inst. by the Go- vernor of the Bank of France, represents that estab- Isshment as prosperous, the profits for the year 1852 having considerably exceeded those for the previous year, and, notwithstanding considerable advances to government, and on railway and other public invest ments, the dividend to the proprietors is in every re- spect satisfactory. Among other propositions which it is said will be submitted to the consideration of the Senate and Legislative body, by the Emperor's government, a measure for a reform in the civil and criminal code is announced. ‘The recent arrests in Paris are still the all-absorb- ing topic of conversation in Paris; fourteen of those eennected with newspapers are to be prosecuted. ‘The public mind in Paris was seriously divided by the armaments in Germany and the movements of | Russian troops, and a want of confidence in the maintenance of peace is felt and expressed. The Turks appear to continue their successes. | Ia consequence of a telegraphic despatch from ‘Trieste, that the Sultan was desirous of maintaining | peace with the neighbouring States, the rate of ex- ehange had fallen one per cent at Vienna. The telegraphic despatches from Marseilles and Trieste announce that Pegu was annexed ‘to the British dominions on the 20th of December last. It was intimated to the King of Ava, that should he attempt to interfere with the new territory measures ‘would be adopted to dethrone him. Accounts from China state that one hundred and twenty of the captured rebels had been bung in the course of the past four weeks. The Moniteur publishes a report, addressed by the Minister of Finance to the Emperor, in which he announces an equilibrium in the receipts and expen- ditores of the present year, without the imposing of new taxes. The commercial negotiations between the Cabi- wets of Vienna and Berlin have been brought toa elose. The treaty, on the whole, is regarded as fa- vorable to free trade. ‘The Voleano in Europe—The Milan Insurree- ton—Aspirations of Young Murat, (From the London Ne ‘eb. 10.)

We had to tell how im one case five gallows had been raised in the old ity of Mantua, on which were to be hanged up five men of education, character, and national repatation, because they were suppored to sigh for the welfare of their country. But the trugic story did not end there. The Austrians were not content with simply hanging political offenders, but they provided for the occasion Raa the Gazzetta de!

In estimating their true position, we must not forget that insurrections are not products of well-governed States. The very sign of a revolt is | prima facie proof of tyranny in the rulers—a truism just now in course of painful illustration. The power ot Mazzini—his co-operation with Kossuth—and the fact that the manifestoes of the Italian and hey ea rian leaders were distributed and posted up under | the very noses of the Austrian mn of , de- monstrate the existence of a wide-spread spirit of disaffection. The movers in this affair avow their reliance upon the present union of Mazzini and Kossuth to raise what they speak of as two wings of an insurgent force against their common foe— Austria; the one acting in Italy, the other in Hun- ‘The belief seems to be, that if Milan could The gary. | hold out inst the Austrians for a few days the whole might join in the movement. Maz- zini ee England more than a month ago, and the friends of Italian independence remember hopefully his talents, his judgment, and his frequent successes, and doubtless pray that the present attempt may | succeed. Kossuth, from a distance, speaks to the Hungarian soldiers in the Austrian service with as much confidence in their obedience to his com- mands as though he still held Comorn and was dic- tator. This tone of confidence was probably well considered before it was decided on, and may be well adapted for the countries and the P 3 in view; but those who are but spectators of this unex- pected drama will hesitate before they recognise any proof of success in one early tone of confidence. Oppressed, sanguine, clever and brave, the Italians | undoubtedly are, but the quarrel they have in hand is one in which they stand against fearful odds. | Wide spread sympathy will be theirs, but sym- pathy is not cannon. Austria has sent a large army to watch the Montenegro fight, and—it may be—to take part in it. She has dangers also onthe side of Hungary, and is far from prosperous on the Bourse. ‘These things are al! in favor of the Italians. But then she has at her side the great despot of all—Russia, only too ready to give help—hereafter to be paid for; and doubtless, other neighbors would not hesitate to join her, if need be, in the task of subduing a revolt, which, if at all successful, might spread into Ger- many with dangerous rapidity. Could France stand still whilst any such work was going on? Would Piedmont be secure if het were embroiled? These and ether questions naturally arise out of the com- plication which must ensue, should the insurrection in Milen remain unsubdued. But if subdued, its Maas existence for a single day shows how well-found- ed Mazzini’s declaration is, that things as they now are rest upon a mere crust, below which is a stream | of burning lava. To this stream every Austrian flogging and hanging, every new victim cast into the dungeons of Lombardy or of Naples, adds fresh fire—burning it may be out of sight for a while, but certain in the end to prove its existence by insurrec- tion, with all its attendant horrors and dismay. Anticipated Collision in the United States— The Siavery Question. [From the London Times of Feb. 10.) The slave institutions of the United States seem tending with marked fatality to some violent result. Every mail brings intelligence of some new outbreak created by the operation of the Fugitive Slave law, | and it appears scarcely possible that thix measure should ever be effectually enforced. On the 28th of | last month we published an apologetic explanation | of this law from the pen of a sensible American, and { we have since given insertion to a communication of | Lord Shaftesbury’s on the other side. Both these | writers, in our opinion, maintained their own propo- sitions successfully; but the difference between them can only be estimated by reference to considerations omitted from the argument. A few words will put the English reader in possession of the case as it it now stands, menacing with disruption and con- | fusion the whole territory of the Union. When the North American colonies asserted their independence slavery existed among them, as it did atthe same time, and indeed long afterwards, in other dependencies of the British empire. The Americans, in point of fact, had the advantage of this country in humanity and enlightenment, for | slave institutions were already denounced by many of them, at a period when noagitation on the subject had as yet arisen among ourselves. By the result of | the war all the colonies became free, and it was in | substituting some form of State government for that | which had been demolished that the eazacious Amer- | icans of those days devised the scheme of confeder- ation, converting thirteen inde) S to a single Union. Such a c ion could not, of course, take place without some reciprocal con- | cessions, aid one of the stipulations then | made by the free States in favor of the slave States | was, that runaway «!oves should be surrendered. At | first, this provision was acted upon without mach | difficulty or disturbance; but, on a certain trial, it was determined that, as thejoriginal law formed purt | of the federal constitution, it could be enforced only , by federal oflicers—that is to say, by officers repre- "| senting the supreme government, and not by the | officers of any particular State. As the duties, how- | ever, of the supreme government in America are not | numerous, its local representatives are proportion- | ately few, and two or three officers only are to found even in the largest States. The con-_ sequence, therefore, was, that the law became virtually ineffectual for want of an ve. ‘The tederal staff of the district was too short- | handed for the capture and surreni the fugitives, it was in aid of the m 8 found to be defective that the new “ Fugitive Slave | law,” so termed, was passed the other day. As a general conclusion, the reader may understand that the legislation in question involv t all. Its spirit was simply that of the original ita- tion which called the Union into being. It had always been enucted and determined that slaves ing to free States should be given up, and the id no more than give effect to old provi- ions which bad become accidentally inoperative.

All the tendency, in tact, not y of opinion and legislation, but of political growth, has been in favor of the free States, 48 opposed to the slave States. The former commana a major- ity on every occasion, and no opportanities have been lost of strengthening this ascendency. We might almost say, indeed, that the “Monroe poli- cy,” prescribed tor the Union in its foreign rela- tions has been adopted and enforced with re- spect to the institutions of slavery.

A telegraphic message from Bellinzona, of the 8th inst., 4.30 P. M., announces that the gates of Milan were shut, and it was supposed the insurrection, which had been suppressed, was recommenced. A proclamation from Mazzini was placarded. The Morning Advertiser says editonally:— “Our intelligence respecting the insurrection which broke out at Milan on Sunday, is necessarily scanty, ow- ing not only to the fact of its being tel phed, but to Brave ones!

Ho mentions that Kossuth has addressed a warm proclama- tion to the Hungarian soldiers in Radetsky’s army, ex- horting them to join the Italian insurgents. Our corres- pondent points to the curious coincidence, that the day— the ninth of February—on which the intelligence of the insurrection reached England, was the anniversary of the proclamation of the republic of Rome, and deposition of the Pope in 1849.”” It was boldly asserted in Paris, that the outbreak had been encouraged by Austrian agents, for a pre- text to advance their armies further into Italy. The Daily News of the 11th, says :— Additional particulars are looked for from Milan with deep interest, and the non-arrival of any telegraphic message is regarded} by the friends of Mazzini as a favor- able symptom. If the Austrians had been successful, | they they would certainly have, sent the rews ere this, ‘aris and London. A rumor of the death of the Emperor of France bad been current in Milan, and doubtless hurried on the revolt. According to hints dropped, a simulta- neous rising in other parts of Lombardy may be look- ed for. It was stated on the Bourse, that two addi- tional regiments had been ordered to embark at Tou- lon, for Civita Vecchia, to insure tranquillity in the Roman States. Mazzini has been in the canton of Tessino, Switzer- land, for a month past. In the Paris papers of the 11th we findsome addi- tional details :— A despatch from the Swiss Consul at Milan to his government at Berne, states, under date of the evening of the 7th, that outbreaks took place simultaneously, on the evening of the 6th, in three distinct quarters of the town; but the citizens, generally speaking, took no part in the outbreak, and order was promptly re established. The Journal des Debats says :— We have not received the connected details of the out | burst at Milan, which appears to have been repressed | with as much rapidity as energy, for it is impossible to from the confused ac- counts received to-day in Paris.

A letter from Vienna states that the conflict in Milan was s! while it lasted, but that the insur- gents were without efficient arms, and had no ca- pable leaders. All persons taken in the open act of rebellion were forthwith shot. The principal citi- zens of Milan are arrested. The letter also states that the Austrian government has sent to Napoleon a list of Italians in Paris who are suspected of having favored the movement. At Turin, the Sardinian Council met together in haste, in consequence of a eommunication from the Austrian Consul, to deliberate on the state of affairs in Lombardy. Further accounts, via Berne, con- firm the total suppression of the revolt, as well as its premeditated character. The customs league between Austria, Parma, and Modena, came into force on the Ist instant. Never- theleas a few provisional restrictions are still observed for the repression of smuggling. THE LATEST RELATING TO THE OUTBREAK. BY TELEGRAPH FROM LONDON 70 LIVERPOOL. Loxpon, Wednesday morning, Feb. 12. The funeral of the Archduke Reinier, Austrian Viceroy in Italy, took place at Bolsano, on the ‘25th ult. The Morning Chronicle of this morning says that adespatch from Milan, “of a later date,” re-asserts | that tranquillity is quite restored; that more arrests have been made, and three persons shot; and that the citizens took no part in the émeute. the Débats, says: Domiciliary visits have been taking place at Pisa. Lucea, Peschia, and Pixtoja, and many arrests have been the consequence. The Gazette de Zurich of the 8th, contains this | paragraph: | If we may credit the statement of the courier from | Milan, just arrived at Lugano, a band of 400 men, armed | vith Yoignards, bad, on Sunday last, encountered the troops and gendarmes.

Arouse! arive !- awake to the erusade prepared to say that a cordial co-operation would be given to any measures brought forward by the government, if they were calculated to’ promote the | public welfare. | | The Earl of Aberdeen replied that he had already informed the House as to the general principles on which the government would be carried out. As for the particular measures which the government in- tended, most of them would be brought forward in the House of Commons, and, under those circum- stances, he did not think it necessary to make any further statemente. * in the House of Commons, Lord John Russell in- dicated the course which the government meant to pursue with respect to the measures which would form the principal business of the present session. They intended said, in the first place, to bring undér the consideration of the House the various e3- timates for the year, as soon as they could be pre- pared.

The other measures would include, first, a billto enable the Legislature of Canada to dispose of the clergy reserves; secondly, a pilotage bill in introducing which the President of the Board of Trade would state the views of the regarding the various matters ate u interest; thirdly, the consideration of the of the Jews, with a view to their repeal; fourthly, a proporal upon the subject of education, which would tend to effect great improvements, The government would likewise state the course they in- tended to adopt with reference to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and a bill would be intro- duced on the subject of education in Scotland. With respect to the question of transportation of criminals, it was the determination of the government that no more couvicts should be sent to Australia, and con- sequent upon this determination, a measure would be brought in respecting secondary punishments. Immediately after the Easter recess, the Chancellor of the Exc! Gs would bring forward his financial statement, and the Lord Chancellor would, in a few days, state measures contemplated for the law, and the landlord and tenant question of Ireland would be considered in select committee, to be 80 consti- tuted as to afford a prospect of arriving at a final set- tlement of the question. The am ent of the Parliamentary franchise was one of the measures in the contemplation of, Roverimiene, but he (Lord J. Rus- sell) was of opinion that this subject ought not to be introduced or discussed during the present session. Immediately after the commencement of the next session, he added, it would be the duty of the gov- ernment to introduce a measure upon this impor- tant subject. Nothing of importance came before either House, onthe 11th. It was mentioned that Lord Stuart de Redcliffe (Stratford Panaing) would immediately return to his post as Ambassador at Constantinople. The following motion stands on the books of the House, although no particular day is appointed for its discussion :— By Sir De Lacy Evans—‘‘ Address for copies of corres- pondence between her Britannic Majesty’s government and those of the American United States, Spain and France, concerning the repeated piratical invasions lately undertaken against the Island of Cuba, and the projects alleged to be ctill entertained of the conquest or annexa- ticn of that territory by associations of citizens of the United States.’’ It is intended to establish a deputy Speaker of the House of Commons, and the office will probably be given to Sir George Seer A meeting of some religious interest took place on the Sth inst., at Freemason’s Hall, London, to pro- mote the cause of reform in the Wesleyan church. hmpment shippin, dlisabht ities Apsley Pellatt,M.

And thus the association is dissolved. The monthly shipping lists show an enormous increase in the number of ships destined for Australia. Ninety-five vessels, nearly 40,000 tons, are announced to sail the present month from the Thames, besides eighty from Liverpool, and others com siterens out .

Earl St. Germains, the new Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, received an address from the Mayor and Corporation of Dublin, on Monday last. In his re- ply, the Earl expressed his intention to foster every undertaking calculated to call into useful action the energies of the Irish people, and_ to protect them in the prosecution of such undertakings, by a firm and impartial administration of the law. He will encour- age the Dublin Industrial Exhibition—will discounte- nance any diminution of parliamentary grants to the Dublin Hospitale—will oppose any attempt to abolish the Viceroyalty—will steadily Prppore the University, and do what he can generally to concili- ate the good will of the people. This address was cordially received. Not one, however, of the Roman Catholic prelates attended his Excellency’s levee—an | indication, we presume, that they intead to be hos, tile to the government. Hon. David Boyle, late President of the Scotch Court of Scesion, died on the 4th inst.

ROMOTIONS LN THH COURT —REPOKT OF THE BANK OV PRANCE. The Minister of Finance announces in his report that the vevenue receipts for the present year will meet the expenditure without the imposition of any new taxes. This announcement was favorably re- ceived on the Bourse. Some of the correspondents of the London papers attempt to exaggerate the importance of the recent arrests of Gen. St. Priest and others, charged with poslahine libels on the government. After a care- fyl comparison of the various accounts of the affair, it appears that the arrests caused little excitement in Paris. The libels were pretty much of the Punch or Charivart order, and the parties arrested were mostly the quondam wits of the suppressed Corsaire, and others who may best be desc as “‘ hangers- on” of the press. St. Priest was liberated in a few hours, with an aj ology for his detention. Changarnier fo lly denies hay written the letter attributed to him, which de a Europear war inevitable, and gave in his adhesion to Henry V.

ELECTIONS FAVORABLE TO THE GOVBRNMENT— NARVAEZ CLAIMING TRIAL—THE BOARD OF CO- LONIAL AFFAIRS—CURIOUS STORY REGARDING THE DOWAGER MONTIJO. Accounts from Madrid, 6th inst., say that the seamen had a majority from all the electoral icts of Madrid. arvaez refuses to be exiled to Vienna, and claims to clear himself, before a court martial, of any im- putations that can be brought against him. The Gazette, of Madrid, cont the regulations of the new board of colonial affairs, and a scale of salaries for twenty officials, the highest being 50,000 and the lowest 8,000 reals per annum. A story is going the rounds that the Countess of Montijo is entrusted with a secret political mission from Napoleon to the Queen of Spain. Prussia, THE NEW COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA. Berlin correspondence reasserts that there is every reason to believe that the commercial negotiations between Prussia and Austria are upon the eve of « solution. Another account in the Morn- ing Herald, states that the commercial negotiations are terminated, and that M. de Bruck only waits at Berlin for the authority of the Austrian government to sign a treaty of commerce concluded for twelve ears. This treaty is said to be favorable to commer- cial liberty. Accounts from Berlin of the 7th, de- clare that the treaty is actually concluded, and that to M. Monteoffel the credit is due. verein Congress in Bos, wil soon be re-opaned i in Congress in in, soon be re-opened, order to ey before it the treaty in question, and loubtless be accepted by that Assembly. It is understood that the Ni hag eos and Prussia on this eee eating Prussian government has entered into an ment to examine at a later period, the question of 4 commercial junction between the Zollverein and the Austrfan empire. The Vienna cabinet has made some important concessions with reference to the tariff. We may add, that the commercial treaty must receive the sanction of all the States forming the Zollverein, and also of the Steuerverein, repre- sented een before it will receive a general application, for the treaty has been only contac 5 ictly speaking, by Prussia and Austria. As the former, however, has been all along in close commu- nication with Hanover, and the latter with the Darmstadt coalition, there is but little chance of the treaty being rejected by the commercial allies of those two powers. Austria. DEMANDS ON TURKEY. A correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette, writing from Constantinople, on 21st ult., says:—Austria haa demanded that the port of Durazzo, in Albania, shall | be made a free port for the Austrian marine, and | that Austrian subjects may be permitted to acquire | and hold landed property in Euro To Tt | appears that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg is dis- | posed to second these demands of Austria to a cer- | tain extent. | Greece.

The Observer, of Athens, contains a royal ordon- nance appointing a commissivn to examine the best. | means of supplying agriculture and other depart- | ments ofindustry with money ata low rate. A banque fonciere is the remedy suggested. The Observer, in introducing these facts, states that the failure of the harvest has rendered large importations of corn ne- cessary, which, concurring with diminished exports consequent upon the failure of the current crop, has | drained the country of money. | Turkey. NEGOTIATIONS OPENED WITH THEMONTENEGRINES— PROCLAMATION OF OMAR PASHA, | A telegraphic message from Vienna, of the 7th instant, apnounces that it is hoped, now the et tiations have commenced, to arrange amicably the Montenegro affuir, that it will he happily con- cluded. This news has been brought by the first courier despatched from Constantinople by Count Leiningen. Previous accounts stat that Omar | Pasha had given the Viadika until the 31st of Janu- | ary to come to terms; failing which, he threatened ta | take military occupation of the whole of Montenegro. It is said that disnnion manifests itself in the Monte- | negrin @uncils, one paity being for Prince Danilo, and the other for his uncle, Petrowitsch. The Trieste Zeitung publishes the following pro clamation, which the ‘Turkish commander in Monte- negro has addressed to the inhabitants of the insur- gent districts :— Men of Montenegro—There are some wicked persons among you who mislead you; and, as for you, you give ear unto their words. You have also reduced your rela tions and neighbors ( brigen) to stray from the path of righteousness, a ake arms against your sovereign. ‘Thus have you wrought your own confusion, and drawn upon yourselves, in chastisement, the march of bis High- nexs the Sultan’s army. You have now felt the Sultan’s power, and the wise among you understand that resistance would be vain against {boarmy of our patriots. We did not seck blood. It blood has been shed—if you have suffered—it was hy your own doing. Great as the army of your lord and master is, Ifis mercy is greater still. And I, cousidering that you eannot rée- sist the advance of our heroes, have sent forth my word in every direction that they shall not heneeforward attack | you. This have I done that your people may not | suffer, and thet they may escape perdition. It in the will of our Sultan that the refractory and rebellious shall be brought buck to the way gp iebleonsnes, either ); gentle means or by force. “Bat it is also the Sultan’s wil that those who repent shall find mercy. Thus do I, therefore, speak in the Sultan’s name, and promise unto OL 771 You shall have liberty in matters of religion in tha days to come as in the days that are past. 2. Your people shall not experience oppresston. In the Sultan's name my word shall go forth, commaniing that in every district (nahia) you yourselves shall your own families the men who are to be your magistrates. But the same shall give all due obedience to the l'avha of Seutari. 8, You shall not be allowed, as you did formerly, to shed blood among you. 4, Whenever you appeal to the Sultan’s grace, he will shed yhat grace on your poor nation, not only in your own country, but also throughout the empire, that you may, without let er hindrance, travel about and conduct your affalra; and whichever among you proposes to go into foreign countries, thitt man shall, even on the soil of the foreigner, be under the Sultan's protection and the | eed Ay ho acknowleége such protection which guards is head, 5.
