AND SIGNIFICANT REMARKS FROM PARIS AND LONDON. Lonpon, April 19, 1863. ‘The following paragraph appears in the Paris Ment- teur of yesterday, and it has attracted considerabie atten. tion— The growing hostility of the United States towards kmgland is eactting uneasiness im London. The last despatches from the Washington government bave @ character of increas- ing irritation. ‘The London Fimes is very bitter on the letter of the American Minister, Mr. Adams, to Admiral Dupont, ex- empting a certain ship for Mexico from England, and cells it an arrogant assumption. It eays there has been nothing equal to it since Popish bulls were issued from Rome overriding the laws of England. It wdds:—The exercise of the slightest authority by foreign Ministers im England ig not to be permitted for one moment after the assumption of power either condemning or absoiving is made known.” THE AMERICAN QUESTION. , Jn the House of Commons on the 1¢th of April, Mr. Bors(all gave notice of his intention to call attention to the selaure of the gunboat Alexandra at Liverpool. ‘Lord B. Ceci! arked if it was true that spies Lad been sent to Liverpool to watch the dockyards and the Con- federate agents. ‘Sir G. Grey denied that any spies had been employed by the government. The facts were these:—Harl Ressell had recetved a letter from the American Minister, con- taining various allegations in reference to the infringe- ment of the Foreign Enlistment act at Liverpool. The Mayor of Liverpool had consequently been rejuested to make inquiries, but no suggestion had been madeas to the manner in which such inquiries should be made. He was afterwards informed that the head constable of Liv- had made inquiries, and that neither the Mayor Watoh Committee had raised any objection. Tn the House of Commons on the 17th of April, Mr. Cobden gave notice of the following motion, to follow. Mr. Horsfall’s, which was to come up on the 24th, in reference to the seizure of the Alexandra:—To invite the attention of the House, from motives of national self interest and obligations of implied international engagements, by which the British government is called upon for « vigt- lant and rigid enforcement of the provisions of the For. eign Enlistment Act, which forbid the furnishing of sbips- of-war to @ belligerent Power, to be employed against another Power with which this country is at peace.

Tue Paris Pays says the despatches o England, France and Austria were presented to the Court of Russia on the ‘17th of April. A Vienna despateh says the question threatened to as- sum greater complicanons, Greas excitement prevailed im Norway and Sweden re garding Poland. The Courts of Italy and Poland [probably Spain) bad conveyed to 8t. Petersburg their adbesion to the notes of the three Powers. The Revolutionary Commit'se has divided Poland tnto twenty-three districts, each to furnish four hundred (pro- ‘Dably four thoussnd) men and pay taxes, stnee the publication of the amnesty it is asserted that the movements of the insurgents had become more active. Numerous engagements are reported, and an attack on Kalisch was daily expected. MAJOR NERVO NZRVOSKY, A POLIAH PATRIOT.

To compliance with the proclamation of President Lin- com, yesterday was observed pirietly by our citizens as acolemn oceasion of ‘national humiliation, fasting and prayer.” It ia no exaggeration to state that no previous cecasion of the kind, within the memory of the present generation, was ever kept with euch general accord. As & matter of course businesa in all the publin offices was entirely suspended. Tho courts, post oflices, Custom ‘House, mercantile exchanger, banks and all other similar places were completely closed, and the same remark inay be made reapecting stores and factories, On former tast- img occasions the suspension of business by private par- then wan very slight indeed, only @ store here and there exb’biting by its half closed doora and shutters even the sembiance of observanee.

The places of worship were very well attended, and appropriate services held in ali of them.
