It is said that Prince Gortschakof zealously pleaded in favor of thia plan, apd stated that, in fact, the Pricipalitics had enjoyed that form of government for the last twenty five year ‘and were indebted to Russia for it. It may be remark ‘that it is not the Western Powers who opposed the main- tenance of a constitutional form of government, and that England, in particular, strongly supported it.

THE NEWS BY THE NIAGARA. Haurax, July 15, 1866. ‘The steamship Niagara, Capt. Leitch, from Liverpool at noon on Saturday the 5th inst., arrived here at 7:30 this evening. She brings ninety-nine passengers for Boston. She brings in specie £2,330 sterling. The Niagara left here at 9 P. M. for Boston, where ehe will be due about 8 o’clock on Thursday mornu- ing. ‘The steamship Ericsson, of the Collins line, had not ar- rived out. ‘Tne steamship Fulton sailed from Southampton for New York on the evening of the 2d inst. The London papers contain the following important Paragraph:— “Negotiations betwoon England and the United States, with a view to a settlement of existing differences, were resumed on Monday the 30th, under circumstances which justify the belief that matters are already in a fair train towards an amicable adjustment of the points at issue’? GREAT BRITAIN. It Is believed that Parliament will be prorogued on the 81st inst., and that no further party motions will be made this session. The following is the only reference which has been made to America, since the sailing of the steamship Fulton:— Mr. Baru asked Lord Palmerston whether Mr. Dallas, as United States representative to her Majesty’s rern- ment, had full powers to settle the Central American dis- ute, or whether he had any other powers than those of predecessor, Mr. Buchanan, Lord PALMERSTON said it was understood that Mr. Dallas had full power to discuss with her Majosty’s government the Central American question. Mr. Buchanan had no instructions whatever to enter on this subject. A bill has been introduced by the government into the House of Commons to permit distillation from rice. The Sunday music controversy continued to expand, Sir Colin Campbell had been entertained by the city of Glasgow. ‘The King of Belgium and family were visiting Queen Victoria. The Queen and the people of London are to give the Guards from the Crimea a public reception. Dyce Sombre’s celebrated will in favor of the East India Company has been set aside, and“ his immense fortune goes to his widow. The prospectus of the New Brunswick and Canada Railway and Land Company, to purchase and complete the St. Andrews and Que! road, has been issued. It was reported that Percy Doyle, British Minister at Mexico, will be removed to Hanover. Professor Mahan, the gentleman refused admittance to the Queen’s levee, writes to the papers that he took every precaution respecting his costume. * The Directors of the Bank of England, at their weekly meeting on Thursiay, the 3d instant, did not alter the rate of discount. The general impression has been that the rate would be lowered. It was thought that they would be reduced on the fellowing Thursday, or not later than the week after. The direc- tors, however, do not generally like to lower it in divi- dend week. The bank returns show @ considerable in- crease in bullion. ‘The India mail takes out an unusually large amount of silver for the East, and the shipments of gold to the Con- tinent increase, with augmented inquiry for export. ‘There is also further reason for shipment, in the shape of investments in French securities on account of England. ‘The weather continued magnificent for the harvest, and another fortnight of the same would secure the farmers from all danger of a change in their prospects. » There has been an increased demand for :American se- curities since the political aspect of affairs between Eng- land and the United States had changed. Tonnage was in better demand for the Archangel, Aus- tralian, Indian and the Danube and Black Sea trades. The potato crop will fall short, in consequence of the heavy rains. ‘The Earl of Shelborne is appointed Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and will be raised to the peerage by his present title. Sir W. Williams, of Kars, will suc- ceed him as representative in Parliament of Calpe. FRANCE. Reports have been for some time current that unplea- santness existed between the courts of France and Rus- sia, and (hat Count Morny’s departure for St. Petersburg was delayed in consequence, As Morny was about ready to embark the difference is probably arranged. The report of the Committee of the Corps Legislatif re- fusing to accord to the Emperor the power of granting pensions, is published. It is respectful, but firm, and is considered the severest check Napoleon has yet met from his government. The bill granting pensions to the Orleans princesses was voted unanimously, although Count Montalembert wrote a strong letter against it, and the Dutchess of Saxe-Coburg indignantly refuses the money, The juvenile Count of Paris has written a letter to M. Roger, repudiating the fusion, and saying that himself, bis mother and brother do not recognise the interference of the other members of the Orleans family, and that he reserves himself for the future. The letter hes made considerable sensation in the Orleanist circles, and the Orleans princes have written angry letters respecting the juvenile’s inter- ference. At the close of the Legislative session on the ‘2d inat., it was anne unced that the bill for the repeat of probibitory customs duties is deferred until the next ses- sion. ‘The measure for consolidatiag decrees relative to cus toms duties into laws is also postponed. The Emperor had arrived at Plombieres. The projected meeting between the Emperors of Aus- triaand France is confirmed. The Frankfort Journal says positively that the meeting will take place at Maun- heim about the end of Jaly. The Emperor of France will reside at the Ducal palace, and the Emperor of Austria at the Hotel L’Europe. The Kings of Wurtemberg and Saxony and the Dukes of Hesse-Baden and Nassau will also avsist. Another account says they will meet at the Castle of Arenenberg. New docks for a steam navy are to be built at Brest. Accounts of the weather and the crops throughout the country, even in the lately inundated districts, are favorable. Harvesting had commenced. In the south the vineyards also look = well. SPAIN. The papers give accounts of the recent riots at Badajos, Valladolid and other cities. They seom to have been of serious magnitude and of an insurrectionary character. ‘The high price of food was the ostensible cause of the riots, but the people really were excited by political emissarica. Numerous arrests were made and many of the peisoners shot. The rioters set fire to the corn stores and to the growing crops. Tranquaility was finally res- tored, when the government announced that the crops presented a good prospect and that there was ample sup ply im store until the harvest set in. The export of breadatuffa was prohibited. Tt was announced that a eecond squadron of ships.of- war, with troops for disembarkation in Mexic, was ready to sail from Havana should Mexico refuse to satisfy the demands of Spain. The Cortes were prorogued on the Let inst. GERMANY. The ministerial journal, the Zeit, publishes the customs proportion submitted by Prussia to the Zoliverein. It proposes that braadstuits, wheat, beans, peas, lentiles, millet and vetches shall be admitted at a duty of two pence balf penny per Prussian bushel, and rye, barley, onts and buckwheat at Se. 64., with the provision that the Zollverein shall renounce the demand for the froe entry of rye, when it shall attain the price of two dollars ‘and a half to four dollars the Prussian bushel.

PRUSSIA. ‘Thr King and Queen were at the Baths of Marienbad. ‘The harvest throughout Prussia will be rather above than below the average, DENMARK. Correspondence states that Denmark has fears of re- newed troubles in Schleswig Molstein, and is taking mili- tary precautions to prevent them. Austria and Prussia are preparing proposals on the subject, to lay before the German Diet, SWEDEN. Sweden has officially confirmed the fact that she ad- heres to the declaration of maritime law laid down by the Congress of Paris. RUSSIA. An imperial ukase orders the issue of twelve millions of silver roubles. Immense preparations are making at Moscow for the Czar’s coronation. The Emperor continues his severity against dofaulters and contrabandists. Letters say that the government seems inclined to modify its customs tariff, particularly as regards its raw produce employed by foreign manufac- turers. GREECE. King Otho fs in Vienna. It is rumored that a Diploma. tic Couference will be held in London on the succession to the throne of Greece. Austria and Prussia, although not protecting Powers, will be represented. The Count of Flanders is mentioned as being likely to be nominated on King Otho’s death. THE EAST. Letters from the Crimea to June 4, mention nothing but the continued embarkation of the troops. General Rude- ger was dead. The Moldo Wallachian Commission advances but slow- ly, topographical difficulties completely neutralizing the intention of the treaty.
