The tendency of private bills of this ire can only be to transfer the functions of Goment to the tribunal of a committee , and to
ensuch committee to decide judicially on the conation and effect of any particular treaty .

CONTINENTAL NOTES . FKANCEXhe Emperor has gone to Plombteres to recruit himself , having , it id said , been very hard worked during the last six months . He also suffers from occasional attacks of the gout . The Empress doe 3 , not accompany him , as it is thought that the sea air -would , be too sharp for the infant . During his three weeks' holiday , the Emperor ¦ will transact absolutely no business whatever . The rumoured interview with the Emperor of Austria on the shores of the Lake of Constance is denied . Count
Walewski is also to take a holiday , and to stay at Homburg for about a month . The Cardinal Legate has departed on his return to Koine , after receiving from the Emperor tlie Graud Cross-of the Legion of Honour in diamonds . The Pope also has received a present from the Emperor , in the shape of a superb baptistry of Sevres porcelain , accompanied by an autograph expression of the writer's filial affection for his Holiness , and his gratitude for the honour lately rendered to him . M . de Rayneval , the French Minister at Rome , is coming home on sickleave , bis health being seriously impaired . the
The Princes of Orleans have protested against project of law by which it was designed to compensate them for the seizure of their property after the coup d ' etat . They write , under date Clareniont , June 25 : — " Having been informed some time since that a bill -was under preparation with a view to modify the decrees of confiscation of the 22 nd January , 1852 , we confined ourselves to requesting our friends to decline in an absolute manner taking any steps that might make us participators in this feeble attempt at reparation . Reasons of delicacy and affection for foreign Princes allied to our family forbade us doing more . But , on reading the expose cles motifs of the bill which has been submitted to us , we found therein a word which our respect for the memory our father and our own self-esteem would not bien
allow us to leave without a reply . It is the word - ve . illa . nce . Benevolence can only he exercised where there id no rightful claim . Now , our claims are founded on tlie authority of the law , and the justice of the country continued it , until the day when justice itself had to cedo to force . Benevolence , tnen , which denies a right , is therefore a new attack on the memory of our father , and we must repel it . In 1852 , a policy accustomed to look upon money as an instrument of revolution tried tp take precautions against us by confiscating the property of our family . It endeavoured to give a colouring to the injustice and violence of iu proceedings by considerations revolting to the public conscience , and against which wo protested ut thu time . To-day tlie word " benevolence , " applied to tlie proposed measure , implies the same idea as those considerations , and this is why
we renew our protest . Perhaps by ho doing we may be obeying a sentiment of exaggerated susceptibility . When so much remains to France of the blessings of tho government of our father , wlio dare . say that ho reigned only for narrow family interests ? Tlie Frenchman , ever devoted to his countrv , who in 1792 fought as a soldier to repel foreign invasion ; the King who for eighteen years knew how to malu : France free as well as prosperous ; the King who gave it that nrmy , the heroism of which has just covered our ( lag with new glory , —thut King is for ever above the attacks ot calumny .

AMERICA . A . lull has come over the state of affaire on the other side of the Atlantie ; so that the news by the last steamers is not a 3 important as that which has recently arrivted . In the Senate , Mr . Adams ( Democrat ) has made a speech in support of his bill proposing to extend the term of naturalization to twenty-one years , and to exclude " foreign criminals and paupers from voting , in order to prevent these and European serfs from controling electionsand thus perilling our liberties . "
Intel-, ligence has been received of the loss of the Pallas , Captain Spillane , from Cork , for Quebec , with one hundred and twenty passengers . These , becoming alarmed , rushed into the boats , which immediately sank , and seventy-two persons were drowned . The remainder were rescued . " There is a plan in agitation here among the Southern members of Congress , " says the New York Herald , " to abandon the Central American route to the Pacific , and to acquire the cession of the Tteiiuantepec route from Mexico in exchange for guaranteeing her territorv against the threatened Spanish hostilities . "
Mr . Butler , pro-slavery member for South Carolina , lias made a speech in Congress with respect to the assault on Mr . Sumner . He said that " on some acoounts it -was fortunate he was not there at the time , for he did not know what he might have done . To be sure , it was thirty or forty years since he had been engaged in personal conflicts , and his hand was out of practice ( laughttr )—hut lie did not know but he might have had a trial at him . One thing he had no doubt of , namely , if he ( Butler ) ¦ were a younger man , he would have left him ( Sumner )
in a worse condition than be now is . The New England papers , " continued Mr . Butler , " call this a specimen of southern violence and southern ruffianism ; but the first congressional Jight since the foundation of this Government took place between two New England men—Matthew Lyon and Roger Griswold . That did not take place outside the House ; they fought with hickorysticks , spit-boxes , and tongs , all over the House of Representatives ( latighter )—when it was in session , too ; but the House did not turn them out . They said , ' Let them both go ; they are disgraced enough already . '"
The New York Journal of Commerce states that the America , the searching of wliich vessel by a British naval officer at Rio , on the supposition that she was equipped as a privateer , was opposed by the United States Commodore , and which caused a good deal of indignation before the conclusion of the war with Russia , "was , on her arrival , reported in tlie San Francisco Shippiny List as Russian property . On leaving Rio , the United States Commodore towed the America above one hundred miles on her course , so as to protect her from , seizure . The trial of the negro "Wilson for the murder of Captain Palmer , of the schooner Eudora Iinogene , has terminated in a verdict of Guilty .
Kansas is again quiet . The Federal troops have disbanded the various unlawful military bodies , and tranquillity is restored for the present . Great atrocities appear to have been committed both by the pro-slavery and the anti- slavery parties . The position of General Walker at Nicaragua remains much the same . No fighting is going on , but sickness prevails among the troops . From the South Pacitie the news is interesting . Peru is in a very disturbed state , and a revolutionary movement is anticipated . Bolivia and Chili are quiet . Ffoin the copper mines there were very cheering accounts , and a fine commerce is expected to spring up when the free-trade treaty with the Argentine Republic is perfected The disagreement between Spain and Mfixino continues . About the 2 nd ult . there arrived at
Vcra Cruz a Spanish squadron of niue vessels of war , to demand payment of the money owiug from the Mexican Government to Spain , in default , they threatened to land , take possession of the Custom-house , and pay themselves out of the receipts . An anecdote of slave life is supplied by a Woodstock ( U . S . ) paper . The Rev . Ward Jieechcr , of Brooklyn , made an appeal from the pulpit one Sunday in favour of a slave girl , nearly white , who was about to be sold into infamy by her own father , a southern planter . Mr . Ueedier said that one thousand dollars had been Bubsoribed to rescue thu girl , but live hundred dollars more were required . A gentleman , amidst loud applause , oll'ered a cheque for tho whole amount ; but the others wished to subscribe , and eight hundred dollars wero made up in n minute . The slave was thus rescued .
The LouisciUc Journal has tlie following nonchaluiU paragraph : — " We learn that a . shooting uiluirunmu oil" at Lako Providence nbout u week tigo . A man named Junes allot a uiiui numed Patterson , mistaking him for one Ptiimiugton . Patterson , alter being shot twice , one of the balls lodging in his brou . st , drew a pistol and was about to shoot Jones , when tho latter begged his pardon , saying ho had mistaken his man . Patterson generously accepted thu apology . Ilia wounds are not mortal . " The stuto of things in California is reported as being moat frightful . Anarchy and murder hcuiu to have had completely their own way , mid it has been found nocoaaarv to re-establish tho Vigilance Committee of 1861 , Uio " iiioiiiber » of which , perceiving tliut the laws uro foobly or corruptly adniiniatored , havu taken thu punishinunt of i > rirtonurs into their own handa . Jamoa King , tho editor of a newspaper , having been shot in the public
streets of San Francisco , the TigUance Committee ( which appears to be a body of militia ) reassembled to the number of two thousand , who armed themselves , and inarched in military order , with fixed bayonets , to the gaol where Casey , the murderer of Mr . King , was confined . A heavy piece of ordnance was planted at the great iron door of the prison , and a man stood beside it with a lighted match . It was - then demanded that Casey and another man , who has murdered the United States Marshal Richardson , should be given up to them for punishment . Resistance being impossible , this was done . The two murderers were then taken away . Intelligence has not yet been received of their fate .
The President of Peru , General Castilla , irritated by the apathy exhibited by the Brazilian Government in not opening the River Amazon , has determined on making the navigation free . He has accordingly obtained from the Peruvian Chambers a grant of 100 , 000 piastres , which is to be given to the captain of the first European ship , whether a steam ship of war or a merchant ship , who shall force the blockade of the Amazon , and sail to the port of Nanta . This has been contradicted .
