AMERICA . The excitement on the subj « efc of the English agg-res sioos on American ships i » gradually dyings out . On the 7 tb inst ., art- amendoient in the Senate providing fbr the- cohstruction- of ten steam sloops of war , was lost by a majority of four . Subsequently , an amendment authorizing tho construction of five propellers and on o side-wlieel steamer-for the China seas was carried' by a majority of one . An amendment giving tbo Presidortij power to issue letters of marque in certain cases was defeated by a majority- of thirty-fouri A bill making appropriations for the Transatlantic mail ; service has been reported . Unusual activity is reported to prevail in thB ' Navy-vanl , Brooklyn . ¦' . , '¦ .
A strange report is mentioned by the Ncto York Herald , but the reader will do well to receive it with caution . That journal says : — " Startling developments are < nx the eve . of being , made of the . intentions of the liuropeuu .

" On June 12 th , " says the Dully News Paris , correspondent , " an individual named Dassaud de Nevreje , helongino ; to the unfortunate category of ' pardoned political offenders , ' was sc-ntenced to six , mouths ? imprisonment anil a fine of 500 f . for speaking evil of the Eniperor . A man named Lcger ¥ err ^ , carpenter and poet , has also been tried for an . insult to . the- Emperor . On Easter Mondays he accompanied the . fraternity of carpenters of Chartres in a procession which it Ls their ¦\ vout to hold o-n that day , and after dinnev ho 8 » ng a ribald song of his own cumppsition , entitled 'Confessions of tbo Emperor to the Archbishop , of Pju : " ^ * It was moreover proved that 1 » appeared in the streets with a red cockade in his hat , and cried 'Vive la B ^ publique !' For these offences the Chartres tribunal sentenced hirn to . three months * imprisonment . The Governnafint , not thinking the punishment severe enough * appealed a

" The Mdmoriat des Pyrenees of June 17 th gave the following account of an extraordinary attack upon several public functionaries at Orthez;— - " Gn June l ' 4 th , at about eleven in the evening , the Sub-Prefect of vhe ' arrondissement , the President of the Tribunal , the Procure ur-Imperial , the Mayor of Orthez and his assistants , and some other persons , eleven in all , left the Chateau d'Argagnon . They had not proceeded far when their carriages were assailed by a party of twenty nieii , who threw stones and uttered menacing cries . The windows of the carriages were oroken , arid some of the inreates were lurt—one of them , it appears , seriously . The men got clear off -without heing recognized ; but a dog belonging to one of them was seized , and will doubtless afford a clue to the discovery of the rnttHtiai . "W ° e are entirely at a loss to account for this outrage . "
Tho Etfio de VEst , a journal of the Haut-Ebin , gives tho following as an analysis of the wilt of the late Duchess of Orleans : —" Her Royal Highness places her two children under the protection of the Queen afaria Amelia and their uncles ; expresses a wish that tha Comte de Paris shall be declared of age , and prays the Queen to be the guardian of the Due de Chartres . Addressing her sons , the Duchess exhorts them to take fov their model the prudence of their grandfather and the chivalrous virtues of their father , and expresses a hope that they will never abandon the political prineii lea . of
their house , which fheir grandfather maintained during the eighteen years he was on the throne , and which their father , as proved by his will , energetically professed . After a few touching words of adieu to l'Vance , the Princess divides tho bulk of her fortune equally between her two sons . Her Royiil Highness also leaves legacies to members of her family in Germany , and panaions to old ser \ -ant 8 i" The Com to de Ctiauinord hua written « letter of condolanca taQiteem Marie AnuUio on the occasion of tlio . death , of the-Duuhqaa . cf
