AMERICA . The result of the Presidential contest was announced in tiois country early in the present week . As previously anticipated , Mr . Buchanan has been chosen as the chief magistrate of the United States ; tut the official account had not leen published at the time the last mail left America , the intelligence being communicated by the Associated Press of New York . The six States of Sew England , namely , Maine , Vermont , Massachusetts , aew Hampshire , Connecticut , and Rhode Island , all gave majorities for Fremont ; the three first-named v

The American journals announce that , at Boston , on the 3 rd inst ., Mr . Sumncr met with a most flattering recaption . Mauy of the places of business were closed , and he -was escorted l > y a throng of citizens from Brook-Itne to Boston , where he was addressed by the venerable ¦ Josiah Quincy . The procession then escorted him to the Stateuouee , wliere he was again welcomed in an eloquent * peech from the Governor of the State . On rising to J" « p ly , Mr . Sumncr was hail d with a spontaneous outburst of applause and other manifestations exhibiting the < leep sympathy of tho crowd present , His personal appearance showed the effect of physical suffering . Several disasters are , as usual , recorded from various of
parts the States . A young lady named Blanchaid has been killed , nnd several persons scalded , by an explosion on board the steamer Bay State , from New York to F * U River . An express train on . the Williamaport ¦ and Elmira Railroad has bwn thrown off the traok by tho breaking of a rail . A baggage-master was killed ana several passengers were badly hurt . At South Acton , fWWwcUusetts , a powder mill has exploded and killed two men . Tho report was hoard at ft great distance , and was supposed to bo -the shock of an earthquake . A duel has been fought a few miles below Richmond , 5 "w * chu 9 © tt 8 , between Roger A . Pryor , editor of tho UKbmond . Miquirer , and Dr . Finnoy , State Senator , worn Axjoomao county . Dr . Finnoy was badly wounded * QM > o « ght !» ip . The account of a discussion ut
Accomac between the Doctor and Mr . Curtis , published in th <* Enquirer , -was the cause of the duel . Governor Geary has arrested several of the ringleaders of the marauding parties in the vicinity of Ossawatamie . Upwards of ninety persons stand charged with murder in the first degree . Great excitement prevails in Havannah , caused by the anticipation of an attack on Vera , Cruz . A risingin San Domingo is also expected , with a view to
revolutionize that republic . From Mexico we hear of the continued increase of discontent against the existing order of things . The Government troops , however , have gained numerous victories over the revolutionists in different sections of the country . Serious revolutionary movements are in progress at Queretaro . The second officer of the war steamer Deamacrota , after gaining over the crew to his interests , ran away with her and a large quantity of money and goods . The war steamer Guerrero was sent in pursuit .
Mr . Griffith , the British Charge d'Affaires at Bogota , has suspended diplomatic relations with the Government of New Granada , in consequence of the hitter . refusing to carry into effect an agreement some time since entered into for tlie settlement of the claim of a . British subject , Mr . Janres Mackintosh . . Mr . Griffith called together the English residents on the 8 th ult . j and stated to them what had occurred , and that Mr . Mark , the consul , would give them all heedful protection during the suspension of diplomatic relations . The British Government , wearied -with the repeated instances of breach , of faith on the part of the New Orauadian Government towards English subjects for many years past , has determined to bring anatters to a point by the pressure of a blockade of the coast . .
The town of i . a l ' az , Lower California , was almost entirely destroyed by a hurricane on the lGth of October . Few lives were lost ; but all the vessels lying in the harbour were driven ashore and wrecked , and the houses which were spared by the wind were washed away by the tide . The gale , which was accompanied by heavy rain , lasted thirty hours . The ivTcw York commercial letters report that in the money-market there was great excitement , owing to many persons having found it necessary to arrange for the heavy payments of the -Ithinst . The result " \ vas that loans were obtained with greater difficulty , than usual , even for three or four days .

GOSTINENTAL . NOTES . " " ' . ' ' ' ¦ .. ¦ . ¦ . ¦ . '¦ . ' . " FK-UiCK . . ¦• . ' . . - . ' . ' . , ' . - : . The Swiss General DiuVnirhas arrived in . Paris , charge ! by the Federal Council with a mission to the French Government relative to . the ditYerences betweeu 2 seufchatel and Prussia . " The French Government is determined to set its face against the Russian railroads . I am informed , " says the Tunes Paris correspondent , " that it has been intimated to the semi-oflieial journals that they are not to publish advertisements relating to these railroads . The same journals will probably soon open a rolling fire against the undertaking . The cause of this hostility will be attributed to the fact that the railroads are less with a view to commercial advantages-than for strategic purposes . "
The AssembleeRationale has the following observations relative to the English alliance : — " We repeat once rhore that we are partizans of the English alliance , and sincerely desire its maintenance ; but the English alliance will never lead us to forget that , at an epoch wliich is not very remote , in the reign of Louis XVI ., the united fleets of France and Spain were mistresses of the Channel , and blockaded the English in their own ports . And as it is not the ' destiny of States to conclude eternal alliances ! , and as events , which cannot be anticipated by human wisdom , may produce in the fviture combinations that have been witnessed in tlie past , such as a war between France and her neighbours beyond the Channel , we express our hopes that in this contingency the French navy would be enabled , with the assistance of an ally , were that ally even Russia , to counterbalance the power of Great Britain on the sea . "
The Stecle , the consistent advocate of tho English alliance , remarks , in answer to the grounds usually assumed fcy the advocates of a Russian alliance—viz ., tliat there ia greater sympathy between tlie Governments of France and Russia than between the former ' and that of England : —" Certainly the French Government , by exceptional laws , wliich it has not yet revoked , departs from the English traditions in favour of theoretical and practical "libiTty ; but it must not be forgotten that the constitution of 1852 has for express bases tho principles
of 1789—that is , of the Revolution . —and tliat in the eyes of Europe all the Governments of Franco ' which are not legitimate arc revolutionary . Now , the Revolution can only find an ally in itsulf . There lien its only chance of salvation , as the Emperor admitted at St . Helena . The kings smile upon it only iu order to deceive it with tho greater caso . Tho Revolution has no other liopo than iu nations , and in order to reach tliose nations which are still cnsluvod it must first loan itself on free nations with sincerity and perseverance . " The destruction of houses still proceeds in I ' uris , notwithstanding tho disastrous oilbutd of the demolition
already carried into effect . We read in the Times Paris correspondence : —" The houses comprised between the Rue de Rambuteau aud the Rue XJrene ' ta are about to be demolished for tbe continuation of the Boulevard de SebastopoL To obtain possession of these houses , the municipality has been obliged to treat with no fewer than three hundred persons , owners or occupiers . Of these , one hundred have accepted the offers which it made ; the other two hundred , demanding larger iademnities than it was disposed to grant , appealed to a jury . They -were accordingly divided into two batches , one a hundred and eighteen in number , the other eightytwo ; and a jury has assembled , under the direction of a judge of the Civil Tribunal , to fix the indemnities to be paid to the first batch . The claimants own or occupy the houses destined for demolition in the Rues
Rambuteau , St . Magloire , Quincampoix , St . Denis , Salle au Comte , aux Ours , KeuveBourg l'Abbe , BourgFAbbe , Petit Hurleur , and the Impasses des Peintres and Beaufort . The occupiers , chiefly traders , represented in support of their demands that they wei-e subjected to enormous expense by being obliged to remove . A wooldealer , for example , who o « cuxiied premises in the Rue Bourg l'Abbe at 30 OOfr . a year , proved that he had been obliged to take others in the Rue St . Bon at 9000 fr . Many of the claimants alleged , too , that , in addition to increased , rent , they were subjected to most serious inconvenience by "being under the necessity of transferring their places of business from the centre to distant parts of the town . The demands amounted , in . the whole , to l , 786 , C 2 ofr . ; . the offers of the municipality to 996 , 800 fr . ; and the jury accorded 1 , 451 , 000 fr . "
The Daily News and Pun-ch have again been neized . MM . Cousin and Legen < lre , directors of the Xapoleou . Docks , are in custody at Paris , on a chaTge of having appropriated to their own use large sums belonging to the company . They carried on a joint-stock bank , the affairs of which were mixecl up with those of the docks . The deficit of Cousin and Legend re ,, as . 'far as has been ascertained , is 6 , 49 S , 055 francs . The fatal facility with which supplementary credits to the budget have , lately been granted by Imperial decree , reducing the votes of the Corps Legislatif to a mere
idle form , has at length attracted so much attention that it has been thought necessary . to propitiate public opinion by imposing some sort of check upon them . A decree , dated November 10 , appeals in the Ifoniieur , by which it is ordained tha . t , after January 1 , 1857 , no supplemental or extraordinary credit shall be granted while the Corps Legislatif is not sitting , except by the advice of the Council of State , the Finance Minister , having been "in every instance first consulted , and . countersigning the decree allowing the credit . —Dally N ' eics Paris C ' prrcsponih-nl .
Some of the Paris papers within the last few days have been speaking with remarkable boldness on the subject of the restrictions put upon the press . The Conslitutiomiel having ; attacked the boldness of the English press , which has recently , according to the Imperial writer , been casting calumnies on the French Government and nation ^—and having asserted that 35 , 000 , 000 Frenchmen are prepared to uphold tlie existing state of things ire . their own band—tka'Gaseite de Franca observes : — ' * We can see but one reasonable conclusion to he dra" \ vn from , this article—namely , that the regime , adoptedwith . regardl to the press does not in practice produce the advantages expected by those who established it . Although the ? eaj > rit dc fronife is now reduced to show itself in other ways than by publicity , it docs not , if we are to believe the 'Const Hut ion nel , exercise au influence upon opinion . It is now accused of having imbued the masses with it 3
inventions and calumnies , and having inliltered its venom iuto French society as well us iuto the foreign press . It is questionable whether the system of liberty of the press , ha I it remained in force under a strong government , ¦ would have produced such dangerous results as these . It is even permissible to think that the ' false news' ' which the Constitutionncl complains would have met with less credit if it had passed , through the ordeal of a free discussion before reaching the eais of the public . " Tho Siucle speaks to the same effect ; and the Assemblee Natioiwh doubts tho alleged . ' calumnies' of the English press , adding : — " Wo have never read , either iu tho English or German journals , the attaclcs which havo irritated the Coiustitutionnel . But it has very often happened that foreign newspapers addressed to us have miscarried , and possibly , it may bo those \ ery missing numbers which contained the ( statements that havo caused so much emotion . "
Rossini has decided to fix his residence in Paris . Ho has taken an apartment at No . 2 , Chaussec d'Autin , tho corner of the Boulevard , at the' rent of 10 , 000 f . a . ye « . Great complaints have recently been directed against tho Prefects and Sub-Prefects of various departments , who are accused of incompetence , carelessness , « n . < l tyranny- Considerable discontent is also oxpreasel with respect to tho manner in vhich the estimates axa presented to tho Chambers ; and , in tho event of any vacancies in tho Legislative Corps , several candidates are prepared to start in opposition to the Govcrninenfc-Oa those facts , tho Tfaws 1 ' aris correspondent remarks : 44 The Emperor luid bettor look to the internal uduiinLJtratiou of tho country .
