America. By The Arrival Of The Itoyal Mo...
hundred troops , crossed the lake to Virgin Bay . He was afterwards reinforced ; but no accounts have yet been received of any conflict between the belligerents . The Costa Rica government , towever , has issued an . address to the people of Central America , calling on them to rise and destroy the invaders . An ambassador from San Salvador has arrived at Granada ( the capital of Nicar & jma ) , with , despatches of a peaceful character , but taking exception to the presence of so many Americans . General Walker , in a proclamation issued
¦ on the 9 bh of March , states that he was invited by the democratic party of Nicaragua * to espouse their cause . He had complied with their request , and struggled to carry out the principles of the revolution of 1854 ; but the legitimist party , having repelled all efforts at conciliation , there was left no other resource than war . The intelligence from the other parts of America is scanty . The Indians ease committing great ravages at various parts of the frontier ; and Kansas is still threatened by the violence of the p ; ro-slavery party . Bodies of armed men have entered the State for the
• express purpose of controlling the elections , some by false swearing , and some by the use of force . Tie pro-slavery papers of Kansas and Missouri admit these facts , and attempt to justify them by asserting that they are necessary . The Know-nothing Massachusetts House of [ Representatives , by a constitutional vote , has refused to adopt a resolution to amend the constitution , so as to prohibit other than native-born citizens from , holding office in the State . The United States ' district attorney has entered a nolli prosequi as against certain pai'ties supposed to be interested in tie Crimean enlistments . A reception ball has beeu given to Mr . John Frost , 'the Chartist leader , at the City Assembly-rooms .
In Mexico , the insoirrection against the new President , Comonfort , raised by Haro y Tamariz ( who objects to the proposed abolition of the exclusive privileges , with regard to the operation of the civil and criminal laws , of the military and clergy ) , still continues ; but it is thought that the Government is strong enough to put it down .

He is described as a man . of honest principles and of a strong wilL The claims of the English merchants , in connexion with the loan guaiv aaatsed by the British Government ; , are still evaded .

CONTINENTAL N"OTES . I"BANOE . A . VAVAX duel between two French officers has taken place at Grenoble . A letter from that city says : — " In consequence of a dispute between a captain of the 15 th battalion of foot chasseurs , and another captain of the 22 d chasseurs , a duel was fought here this morning . The two officers had chosen pistols , and , after having * been placed at twenty paces , they advanced each five paces , and fired . Both of the antagonists were killed on the spot . "
A banquet Xsays the Monitew ) took place on Saturday evening at theTuileries , inthe Hall of the Marshals , given by the Emperor to the members of the Congress . All the members of the Congress were invited , as well as the foreign Ministers , Cardinals , Ministers of the Emperor , Marshals , Presidents of the great bodies of the State , the grand officers of the Crown , the Freaoh Ambassador to the Court of London , the Governor of the Invalides , tho Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour , tho Grand Referendary of the Senate , Senators , Deputies , high functionaries of State , and the principal civil and military officers of the Emperor's Household . The Emperor took hia seat in the centre of the table , which was laid in the form of a
horseshoe . On his right hand sat his Excellency Lord Clarendon , and on liie left Count Buol . Hislmporial Highness Prince Napoleon sat opposite the Emperor . He had on hia right his Excollouoy Count Orloff , and on his left his Highness Aali Pncha , Towards tho end' tho dinner , his Imperial Majesty spoke tho following words in a firm emphatio voice : •—••• I propose a toast in honour of tho union so happily reestablished between tho Sovereigns . May it be a lasting one \ and it will bo bo if it rest always on right , on justice , on tho real and legitimate interests of nations . " Those words wore recoivod with unanimous shouts of " Vive I'Empereur f" After the banquet , the Em neror adjourned to tho imloon contiguous to tho Thronoroom , and tbo rdunion lasted till ton o ' olock
Some French Methodists at Vallorauguo have boon ftaod fifty francs enoh with costa , for meoting for tho purpose of religious worship . Tho Debate wai'mly calls for a modification of tho law , Autqino Boaumann has boon found guilty of tho
manslaughter of bis mistress , the CountesB de Caumont La Force . The act was committed in a moment of exasperation , the man being scolded by the countess . Beaumann was sentenced to imprisonment , wit 3 i hard labour , for life . AUSTRIA . Austria has agreed to evacuate the Danubian Principalities within a short period from the ratification of the Treaty of Peace . The Allies are to have six months to withdraw from the Crimea .
The Synod of Austrian Bishops commenced its sittings on Sunday week . The proceedings then were merely formal ; but on the following day the prelates again met , and made arrangements for the establishment of regular ecclesiastical courts , which will have to decide on the conditions of which Catholics and non-Catholics may be allowed to marry—one of these conditions being , probably , that the children of such mixed marriages shall always be educated in the Papistical faith .
PRUSSIA . The trial of the parties engaged in the late Hinkeldey duel has "been concluded by the military tribunal to which it was referred . The sentence has not yet been pronounced , but will be shortly . Great dissatisfaction has been felt at the accused being tried by the military , whose j-udgments in such cases are lighter than those of the civil courts . Herr von Rochow , it is said , has no right to be tried by courtmartial , since he is only an officer of the Landwehr , in which every male Prussian is obliged to serve , so that all could mate an equally good claim .
Count Waldersee , the Minister of War , recently resigned from a matter of personal pique ; but has sinee re-accepted office . Herr von Zedlitz Neukirch , who accepted conditionally the functions of President of Police on the death of Hinkeldey , Las now definitively assumed them . Some changes he has already introduced have rendered him popular . ITALY . Parma is in a very disturbed state , and the Austi'ians are committing great brutalities . " During the last few diays , " says a correspondent of the Morning Post , " dozens of persons , arrested for
supposed political opinions , have been sent off to Mantua . Military law is applied with the utmost severity . The Austrians say there will be no long trials : * The guilty will be shot , and the innocent set at liberty . ' The whole male population wearing beards have been shaved by authority ! It is almost impossible signer to receive communications or to se ^^ letters out of the town . " Similar intelli gence has been received from Naples . ^ Several triata for conspiracy against the King ajud his Government are now in course of procedure . Assassinations have become frequent at JSElan ; and among the victims are Dr . Mojoli , director of the hospitals , and a man suspected to be a police
spy . The commercial classes at Milan have long desired to establish a bank in then * city , to be named the " BancaLombarder , " and possessing all the attributes of a national bank ; but the Vienna Government refuses permission , without vouchsafing a reason . It has crept out , however , that the real motive is , that the Banca Lombarder would be an attempt against the political integrity of the Austrian empire , The affairs of Italy are likely for some time to occupy the attention of diplomatists . The Paris Ddbats haB recently published a long article on the subject of the reforms necessary for the proper government of the Peninsula , and of the demand which , ia now being made upon Europe to interfere on behalf
of the Italian people . " Europe , " saya the French journalist , " is not indifferent to the misfortunes of Italy . It takes the liveliest interest in tho Italian question . Europe cannot tolerate the perpetual existence in her own bosom of a hotbed of trouble , disordor , conspiracy , and revolt . Such a hotbed exists , however , in Italy . It is for the honour and interest of Europe to break this up , and such a result cannot be obtained either by bloody executions or by a system of oppression , which , though it might palliate the evil for a time , would never cure it , and would inevitably provoke fresh troubles , which should at any cost be prevented , in order that it may not become necessary to repress them . Italy is a great country , poopled by upwards of 25 , 000 , 000 of inhabitants , whoso commotions have caused profound agitation in
Europe . " The writer , however , thinks that no attack should bo naado on tho existence of tho Italian states , and that there arc no grounds for a redistribution of Italian territory . " Finally , groat reforms in the Italian States arc iudiaponHable , not only because tho peoples desiro and oxpoct thorn , but also beouuso they aro oallod for by tho progress of human reason and by tho now relations established between the governing claHsos and tho governed . Tho complaisant BTibinieaion of tho populace is no longer to bo reckoned upon : tho pooplo roquiro to know why they are commanded and why they obey . " The IMata a < ld » that tho Plouipotontiarios arc agreed upon ubtttmot principles , but aro quite at sea with respoofc to tho measures uaooaaary tor carrying tho princi p led into praotioo . Tho Prase nays it is true that Count Cavour laid
before the Congress a memorandum on tneTtfaT ! 83 fc question , but that the memorandum did not emanata from tBe Sardinian Government . It was merely an analysis of the views ' of certain eminent Italians which . Count Cavour submitted to the Congress as a faie representation of tne state of opinion in Italy . A Roman journal bearing an official character ( tha Civilta Cattolica ) , while enlarging upon the friendly disposition wMch the Emperor Alexander II . mani fests in fiivour of the Roman Catholics of his empire ^ announces that M . cte Kisseleff , Russian minister at Rome , will be charged to negotiate a new concordat upon more liberal bases than that which was granted some few years ago .
M . Walewski , it ia stated , informed the Congress , at one of its sittings , that France intends to withdraw her troops from Greece , and , at the same time , he expressed a hope ( backed by the English and Sardinian Plenipotentiaries ) that Austria , in imitation ^ of thai example-, would remove her army from the Roman Legations . " Count Buol , " says the Times Paris ebr > respondent , " disputed the identity of the two questions . Greece was occupied by French troops rathex for a personal or particular object than in accordance with any express desire of the Greek Government . The Austrian troops on the contrary , occupied the Legations , not merely with the assent , but at the earnest desire , of the Pontifical Government ; and he was not aware that his Holiness had as yet intimated his conviction that he could so confide in the loyalty and affection of his people as to dispense with , their presence . "
Some statements with respect to the Italian question in connexion with the Conferences are made by the Morning Post Paris Correspondent , who writes ? - — " I do not believe any immediate good will come otife of the representat ions of Count Cavour , although I can state positively : —1 . The Emperor Napoleon has countenanced the suggestions of the Piedmontese Plenipotentiaries , being desirous to . witness ^ suck conservative reforms in the peninsula as will'insure tranquillity and prosperity . 2 . Lord Clarendon haa supported these views , and thereby represented tha British Cabinet and the people of England . 3 . The ) Russian Envoys have not opposed the policy of Fr » nc . a and England as sought to be applied to Itgiy . 3 . " ^ Hel Austrian Plenipotentiaries deny -J ; ae right of discussing the state of Italv at s , ji . ::
SPAIN . The uneasy condition of affairs continues in Spain . The Gazette gives intelligence from Valentia of the 10 th . The city continued tranquil and in the sanae state as on the preceding day . General Zabala had arrived the previous evening at Albaceta . Trooya from various parts were marching on Valentia . The disturbances at Valencia were more seriotis than was at first supposed . The insurgents occupied some houses , whence they fired on the military , and from which they were only dislodged by the use of artillery . Several of the combatants were killed and wounded on . both sides .
TUEKET . The Divan has come to a decision to permit th . e entry of Russian merchant ships into the Bosphorits . The Journal de Constantinople says that the disturbances at HedLjaz still continue , and that the Porte has taken measures to put them down . The same journal speaks of other disturbances having broken out in the province of Katkiaii . General Williams will be honoured with the mission to arrange the Asiatic frontier . Great excitement has been created at Varna by tha violation and murder of a Christian girl . The cruue is imputed to a pacha . Six thousand ChriBtians , it ia said , attended the funeral , and in the church a Bulgarian harangued the people , vehemently demanding justice .
Arabia ia still in a very disturbed state . The Christians of Doniah have demanded the protection of the Sultan against the Moslems . An insurrection has broken out at Belgradohick , in Bulgaria , near the Servian frontier . A Bulgarian , formerly an officer in . the Russian service , professes an intention to expel the Turks in the name of Russia . He ia at tho head of two or three hundred men ,
