The Debates— Premature Burials—The Kxperience of Car- dival Donnet—Result of Precautions in Nuremberg— Opinions upon President Johnson's Veto and Speech—De- parture of Troops for Mexic>—Colonel Fuller's Interview ‘with the Emp:ror—The Prince Imperial Recovered—The Chaine Bensiton, Long debates upon agriculture (fully reported in the ‘astp), and an attempt upon the part of the protection- tats to impose a tax of two francs the hectolitre upon foreign grain brought into France, but which was frustra- ‘ted by the vote of a large majority, has been the record @f proceedings in the Corps Legislatif during the past fow days. In the Senate, during a debate upon mortuary matters, Cardinal Donnet, the Archbishop of Bordeaux, ‘arged upon the attention of that body the necessity of making same better provision against premature inter- ‘ments, and in the course of his remarks related the fol- towing circumstance:—“ In the year 1826,’"he said, “a young priest, preaching in a crowded church, gn a hot ‘day, fell down, and was taken up for deal. Hoe was taken home aud laid out, and a surgeon gave s medical @ortificate of his death, The bishop of his diocese came to the foot of his bed aud recited tle de profundis; be had been moasured for his coffin, ‘ween the voice of a dear friend had :uch a magical effect upon him that he awoke from his trance, and now forty years later he is here among you a member of the ‘Senate, and he is now supplicating the government to form better regulations to prevent these terrible and fereparable misfortunes.”” The matter was considered of ‘ge much importance that it was referred to the Minister of the laterior. ‘That premature borials do sometimes occur ther: is ‘ample evidence to prove, but they are undoubtedly very mumcommoa, When I was in Nuremberg two years ago tm visiting one of the cemeteries I witnessed a remarka- Dire right.

With the single exception of the Opini-m Nationale, the journals of ail shades of opinion express their approval of the I resident's policy. Tho Moni eur and Constiu. ido ne’, however, seem inctined to look upon the veto and the spoech as the evidence of a very unsettled con- dition of things, Which may yet lead to another civil war.

On the part of the Emperor, the Count de Talle man has been named, He was, several years since, Secretary of the French Legation at this place, and has wince been promoted to the rank of full Minisver; in which capacity he has represented (he Emperor in vari ous parts of Evirope. Tho appointment of one of his rank, holding a diplomatic position, at once indicated to y tebe Porte, the position which the Emperor invended to Auke on the sulject of the cholera, with regard to. the Mussulman Kost, This remark Js better explained by the Fomembrance that the cholera, which, last summer, carried of fifty thourand johabitants of thisecity, came here from ERyp' and Arabia, where, though it did not originate, it nevertheless received strength and virulenes from thei noumerable number of animal victimes slauth- tered on the occasion of the pilgrimage to the Hoty Pieces in and around Mecon and Medina Ih ac eepting the suggestion of the Emperor the Porte, therefore; required that the Conferen:e should be dispas. of all diplomatic character, and that the mea- adopted by it, as well as the nomination of ihe agents appointed to effect them, shall be wholly lent to interest and convictions of each of the governments _poprerented in It, {Im anticipation of being required to d 0, the Porte eas already vent a commission of its own to the Holy Places aloreswid to svudy ad report on the matter there aw count of their own dissensions and The Conference has already held’ three or four meetings, and has been engaged in the adoption of certain urgent measures tn the view of preventing the return of the cholera in the coming summer. In the meantime, the Medica! Commission in Arabia is occupied in hygeinic measures, and will no doubt require that the remainsof the sacrifices be properly interred: from sight, and, as the Conference has asked, that during the period of the pilgrimage, a quarantine be established for all pligrims and others Morning there by sea—it holding that during long journey by land, the sea travellers are sufficiently purged of their infections. This proposal came from the French Commissioner, in the view at is supposed of not retarding the works on the Suez canal. Experience has, nevertheless, clearly shown that the Asiatic cholera can be conveyed in clothing; and that persons attacked on the route and not perfectly cured can propagate the disease. All of the other membersof the Conference, with the exception of that from Portugal, are subaltern officers of the legations resident here, such as secretaries and drago- mans, with sometimes a medical man to aid them, The winter, like the last, has been extremely mild; warm weather has already commenced, and from the fact that the greater part of the victims of last summer were buried in a very slight manner, some two feet beneath the soil, the probability'is that if it returns here—for it certainly never originates at this city—its virulence, may bécome fearful, and hence spread into Europe and America, There is no doubt but that the cholera, considered an epidemic, can be kept outof a country by quar- antine, is’ has been clearly proven by, the fact that the islands in: the Archipelago and Gre it out of them Jast summer by severe’measut not that Provide: de an Nous verrons how ‘will turn season of heat and consequent The voleanic phenomenon of island of Santorint is ateracti h Apmines de. seience in ink partotthe . anes that: the vicinity. of Baxi is especially ‘vol ‘ebweeh the and the of last month;-the in- habitants of this island and dts vicinity were terrified by ‘sharp shocks of earthquake. of sulphuric effluvia around them, with convulsions of the sea, and jn fact ali the horrors of the renewal of a volcanic mountain in their midst.

Soon an island began to spring up from the water, consisting mostly of mud and stones, at first having the appearance of the back of a huge whale siranded, but hourly incteasing in size. It now is some twenty-five metres long and ten in width. The air was mostly calm, and a little rain fell, but the same meteorological character of the eemcapbere remained unchanged. The little island of Nea Koimene (Now Burnt), near to Santorini, was the most affected. Its temperature varied from fourteen to forty degrees Reamur above zero, Tho new island has been named George L., from the Danish-Greco King of Greece, and it is to be hoped that his dynasty will out- live the existence of the land cast up by Providence trom the bowels of the sea, probably go as to enable him to honor it with his name. As itis still increasing in size itmay yet become a considerable appendage to modern Greece. Turkey seems never to be permitted to enjoy proper peace and tranquillity. It contains so many discordant elements in its varied population, is so badiy adminis- nered, and, pertene also, is so much the object of foreign intrigues and influences, that it scarcely gets rid of one trouble before another arises to disturb its rest. Mount Lebanon is again in effervescence, and the Maronites (Catholic Christians) demand the appointment of une of themselves to rule over them. Davona Pacha, the present Governor General of the Mountain, and, therefore, of the Druzes and Maronites, is a native Catholic Christian of Constanti- nople, and a man of considerable ability. Connected with many of the more prominent Catholic families of this city, he owes his sclection for the post to them and the influence of the Catholic clergy here with the French embassy. A Maronite of the name of John Karami beads the present revolt, which arose out of some new taxes levied by him on the orders of the Porte. One of the most competent of the Sultan's generals, Dervish Pacha, has been sent there with a large force to subdue the revolted, and by the latest accounts he has almost suc and next by the.emiesion Prince of the i ney on the Danube, called’ Pha ag hg agg ip 4 victim: to méstaken and mi lied ambition.

ENGLAND INCLINED TO GIVE UP HER FISHERY CLAIMS. {From the London Post, March 12. In the presence of subjects ing i general public that on Saturday next, by the terms of the notice given by the American govern! the Reci- procity treaty, regulating the tineries trade as between that country and the provinces of British North America, will expire. The subject has been go little dis- land, and the importance of the treaty as ittle cussed in Engh afecting our relations with the United States is so appreciated, that it will not be out of place to gi Pe a ape] agen 8 through which t tive ag well as of its present position. It is to be observed that the important part of the question—and, indeed, the only part upon which diffi. culties can arise—is that which relates to the right claimed by Americans of fishing in the seas adjacent to the provinces; and the nature and extent of those rights which have hitherto been regulated by the moribund treaty are such, and are so differently regarded both by Americans and’ the provincials, as to have led to a long eourse OF ees and conflicting claims, which, it is to be feared, will be now reopened, and which, unless they are treated by both sides with a disposition to make inutual concessions in accordance with the liberal spirit of the times, will do more to endanger the frendly rela- tions between the two countries than any question th; has of late years arisen; not excepting even os of the Trent and the Alabama, When negotiations were opened at the close of tho American war of independence, one of the points most strongly insisted upon by John Adams was the recognt- tion of the right of Americans to fish in all the seas adja- cent to their country. So much importance did be attach to thi right that he declared that be would rather ‘con tinue the war forever” than abandon it, and the treaty of 1783 accordingly embraced a clause recognizing the richt of the inhabitants of the United States to fish “wherever they had fished before.” The question was reopened at the conclusion of the second Ainerjoan war, and the right claimed reeeived for the first time a’ limitation uy the treaty signed on the 20th of October, 1818 Merere Rosh and Gallatin, the commissioners on behalf of the United States, while retaining the right of entering bays aud creeks for ‘the pw of fepairs and also the within the of curing thoir fish avd ing ther great Tight to fish, ed imit of three miles from the coasts, haya and of Whe provinces. “The state of things ‘cumtinured ‘sone “but in 1841 comptainté began to be of encroxchments and trespasses by Amerean ng mong other things it was asserted that treaty by fishing within Fundy and Chaledra, am C the Bays ‘Canso.

But for the American civil war, a convention so materially advantageous would have certainly been left undisturbed for many years to come; but the United States government, to provide for an enormous debt and an increased expenditure, Las thought proper to raise a large amount of revenue by heavy customs duties, and cannot conseqt main- tain the free reciprocal list provided fur by the third article of this treaty, In.afew days, by its termina- tion, we shall be thrown back upon the provision of of 1818, ith all the bickerings and heartburnings which Eevee from 1845 to 1 and the government will have to consider what construc- tion of that treaty it will maintain and what action it will take. Were the question capable of being settled By the overnments of Great Britain and of the United tes alone, it would probably mot be found to present much difficulty ; but it is complicated by the presence of the provincials, who are not unnaturally anxious to keep the to themselves, or at any rate not to admit the United States to.a share in them without receiving com i in the shape of @ free market for their products.

This present St. Patrick’s Day will also be remarkable for another event, which might itself breed a quarrel not less troublesome than a Fenian outbreak in Ireland or a Fenian invasion of Canada. To-day the Reciprocity treaty between the United States and British America comes to an end. For the sake of both countribs, which it eo much benefited during the six years which intervened between its adoption and the outbreak of the American war, we regret that the United States government have thought fit to abrogate it. But every nation is the best judge of its own affairs, and if the government of Washington is of opinion that the changed financial condition the States requires that their commercial relations should be revised, we have no right to complain.

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. Information is being continually received here of the crossing by the Paraguayans of the, Parana, and depre- dations committed by them, in the form of caltle” Iifting on the Argontine side, Onthe 26th of January four hundred crodfed over on araid; but they were driven ‘pack by Colonel Leyes. ’ But by far the most important news is that of s fight that took place om the Sist of January between the Para- Buayans and the Argentines. The accounts received here ‘are very cloudy, a# it’ seems that the allied ‘ago not disposed to entighten the public in. regard to their cperations From all I cotld gather;. however, it seems that a force of Parageayans bumbering: about six hundred men crossed over “to the Argentino side, These were promptly reinforced Ul! the total’ number of the invaders amounted to from three to five: division of cavalry, met the invaders, whee ssang' ¢ conflict ensued, General Hornos was sabsequently rein- forced bys Buenos Ayresn division, comthanded by Colonel Conesa, and after the fight had lasted some hours the Paraguayans recrossed, leaving several hundred dead and wounded on the field. THE BATTLE BETWEEN THE PARAGUAYANS AND THE ARGENTINES’ AT PASSA DE LA PATRIA. The fight was intensely hot, the Paraguayans holding their ground with great tenacity, giving way only inch by inch, and profiting by all tho diffic :lties in the form of pushes, swamps, lakes, &o., and at night they sought shelter in mountain by the bank of the river, whence it was found very hard to dislodge them, as they had been reinforced. Finally they were compe led to recross the river, leav- ing on tue Argentine side two hundred killed and a num- ber of wounded, variously estimated at from one hun- dred to six hundred. The Argentines bad several officers killed and many wounded. The loss of men placed hors de comba' is be- tweon five hundred and six hundred. This loss is severely felt in Bucnos Ayres, as the principal troope engaged were from that city. ‘This ts the Argentine version of the affair. The Bra- zilian account difers from it materiaily, and if all the statements received from the latter source ars to be be- Nevod the conduct of the Argentines im the fight was not. very fatteriig to thom. Wiile it cannot be den‘ed, on the one hand, that they defended themsclves bravely, Mt must be admitted, on the other han, that they fell ingloriously, without the slightest advantag? to their cause, through the negligence of the general commanding the vanguard, Genoral Osorio, ia command of the Brazilian fortes, having heard beavy fring in ‘he direction of the river, sent to General Hornos, offering reinforcements, which wore declined.

Brazilians very naturally Nak, in presonce of the blame ; imputed to their countrymen, what was the bulk of tho 7 Argentine army doing? Being so much nearer the fold of battle than the Braailians, why did it not support the division from Buenos Ayres?
