The following is a Telegraphic report of the j
news lirought by the {European steamer Cambria, s
which sailed from Liverpool on the 2d instaul : t

There has been no further debate in Parliament
/relative to the affairs of Canada. Lmd" Claron- '

on the TOlh of 1Vii?y', u' tn-* <" \?- !
icmo'y convened on the 85 h<? cu . 4 art j
of the sitting every thing was perfectly tranquil,!'
and there were no troopa in attendance bevond the 1
usual guard. Later in ihc day, however, mimenso '
bodies of disorderly people collected uround tho
Chamber, and the fear of an invasion by t1i&Jtno|? '
was so great that the troops previously instructed,' !
were ordered to advance and clear the adjoining*
streets. No setious attempt was made to resist '
the troops, and but few arrests were made.
On Wednesday a bitter conflict took place in
the Assembly, growing out of the removal of tho
Colonel who had been daring the session entrust*
with the smmecitttp command of the troops for
v>. rt the protection of the Chambers, '-'the correspondent
of dm Loudon Times, ih describing the proceedings
alluded to, says : , .

even ilk tho hours when ii.s wus anilec blimp, rod i
Paris depended on tiio protection ot lou.ooo oa*onets,
and public tranquility was at the capricious
mercy of the Assembly, as the nir is shaken by
the thunderstorm, in none of these unquiet moments
was theie a scene of such violence witnessed
as in the Legislative Chamber yesterday.
"The thirtieth of May was to have become a
new era, and it was fondly believed that in the
electoral returns, which recorded the votes of mil-)
1? ? . - *'

debates of a stormy character during tlie iong ses- i
sional period that has just expired, but it is not too
much to say that the Assembly which concluded
its labors on Saturday lust was a model of
gentleness, of prudence, and lolerunce, even in
the height of its exultation, in' comparison with
the body whioh has scarcely yet entered or. its
important mission Perhaps the only similarity
will be found in the urinals of the first revolution.
"When Lodru Roliin appeared nt the tribune
to debate the question before the Chumbcr, loud
cries arose for the order of the day ; but having
attempted to persevere, and the cries growing

tremendous uproar then rose on the Lett, j
and four of the Secretaries' youngest members of I
the House stood up and resigned their functions I
amidst the loudest applause from the Mountain.
It would be difficult to give an idea, of the scene
that followed. Some of the extreme Left arose
and were about to qu't the Chamber in a body,
when their colleagues induced them to resume
their scats ; and, after a good deal of time had
been lost in the confusion and tumult, the aged
President stood up and declared that he was ready
to retract any expression of his which might have
appeared offensive to M. Ledru Rollin.
"The tumult then began to cease. M. Ledru
ltoltin once more addressed the House, and demanded
that a parliamentary inquiry should be
instituted' into the circumstances of which M.
Clevon, complained, but the Assembly, bv a large
mnjority, rejected the demand, #ml passed to^thtS
order of the tTlty. The adjournment took place at
half past 6 o'clock."
A vote was taken on /fie General Amnesty Bill,
as proposed in the old Assembly, and it was lost
by a majority of five against it.
Upon a close analysis of the result of the late
elections, it appears that about two hundred and
ten, or at most two hundred and forty, ultra democratic
members have been returned, which is

were expected bo elect, and will give them a vastly
greater influence in the presen: than they possessed
in the old Assembly. There are rising of
five hundred members elected by the various
other parties, but they are so split up and divided ,
in sentiment that it is considered doubtful about
their being able to unite upon leading questions of
personal policy. I

The French Expeditionary furces are still encamped
outside of Rome. M. Lossops, the envoy, :s
having totally filled to persuade the Romans h
to admit the French, cither as friends or us enemies.
The utmest dissatisfaction is said to prevail (
amongst the troops, who openly avow thoir aym- t<
pathy with the Roman republic. Whilst the no- ii
gotiations are going forward at Rome Genera!
tJudvnol's position, with malaria threatening his "
army, is fur from pleasant. Kvery day furnishes 1
him with fresh proofs of (he precarious nature of ll
his command, if not of tho moral certainty that H
the troops will refuse, if called upon, to enter the 1
city by storm. The Neapolitans, having beon a
beaten, have withdrawn within their own territo- h
ries, and, with Austria, seem inclined to let the I
French have the quarrel all to themselves. c<
The latest intelligence from Rome stales that A
the Constituent Assembly, have unequivocally re- rr
joctcd the proposition of M. hesseps, had given si
authority to th.e Triumvirate to treat again, and st
tlint the Triumvirate proposed to the French Ploaipottintiary
the following conditions :
1st. Tito people shall again he called to exef- tc
sine their sovereignty hy means of universal suf- C
0 Irage.
2nd. Tim Austrians, Neapolitans, and Spaniards
shall all immediately evacuate the territory of the M
republic, as ueivursal suffrage would bo a mockery hi
' pressure of foreign bands. hi
"rcnclt shall huvc to advance from In
totye. T he Kepul^jg^alway# generous an<l fra-1
srnal, will grant than) for garrison a place exempt
rom fever. When they shall meet reception ?
lua to eaqh other hy republican brethren, they 1
hall remain their friends ; no more protectors, for lio
democracy of Rome will constitute itself with
ut foreign interference. t
Provisions at Rome were growing dearer, as ?
he French die not allow any to pass ; hut the t
oarcity wus confined chiefly to luxuries. Bread ?
nd ordinary articles were still in good supply. t

The Western Texan, city of San Anton'o, 8f
the 17th of May, gives a horrid account of the
lavages of the Cumanches in the neighborhood of
Laredo, where they murdered three entire families,
numbering sixteen or eighteen individuals.
According to a letter in the Western Texan,,
the cholera has swept like a whirlwind over Laredo,
leaving scarcely a family that is not in
mourning. About two hundred Mexicans died;
the company of the 1st Infantry stationed there,
lost eight out of thirty; and the Boston Essex
Mining Company boned five of their nuralcr at
Laredo.

" Since our last we haVe heard of no fresh depredations

horses stolen from San Patrico appear to have
been taken by a band of wJiite thieves, mixed with
Mexicans and negroes. They were pursued by a
party of citizens, who kept them in view for ten
miles, but being badly mounted were unable to
overtake them.
" Yesterday two Mexicans, belonging to Col.
Kinny's Rancho del Oso, were shot on the west
bank of the Nueces, just above San Patrico, and
one of them, it is thought, mortally wounded.
The persons who shot them are said to he whites,

the horses at San Ratrico."

The Galveston Civilian states that the wagons
for the expedition to El Passo were being packed
with all possible dispatch, and would soon be ready.
The expedition will be composed of the
3d Infantry, under command of Major Van Horn.
The topographical engineers, who were dispatched
to make a reconnoissance of the route to
Paso del Norte, and who were reported to have
been killed by Indians, have returned to San AnIonia,
nnd reported a practicable route to Colonel
Harney, f?r the contemplated march of the troops. <
The cholera has broken out in New Braunfels,
twelve deaths occuring from it on the 25th ultimo, i
The people were flying from the town panic .j

iy their industry and enterprise, have built up a ,

A year ago, the people of thp South were celled
upon, urged end entreated, in tbe name of the
greet question which involve# their interest end W .
their i?(cty, to forget their party affinities, and
unite in the support uf that cur.didute for the Pre*

never to have been made without better assurauens,
and the bitter conseqnencea of which are now
to fall equally upon thoao who yielded to it, and
those who raised their unavailing voices against
trusting to implied pledges, where explicit ones
were refused.
From the time of the election until now, the
history of the President's opinions has been a,
blank. Apparently, indeed, the onfy moments
when he ever indulged in political opinions were
(hose curious fits of inspiration commemorated by
his lehers to Cspt. Alison ; and either the fine
frenxy has never revisited him since tho election
was settled, or bis communications with that mysterious
relative have been made under en impenetrable
veil of secrecy. If Captain Alison has
received any more letters from bis distinguished
correspondent, tho publie are not the wiser for it.
The inaugural itself was a blank, save in that one
pledge against party proeeriplNm which hns been
so systematically ami . almweU.ssly violated from

results, and humble in trie display of military skill,
compared with those which followed under other
leaders. The tide of his military popularity last'
ed just long enough to carry him into the Presidency
; and that greater tiJe of fame, crowned
with the honors of other and more illustrious
chieftains, came to swallow up ita predecessor,
just at the moment that the people oi the United
States had submitted to the conviction that, excepting
his Claims and merits as a soldier, Gen. Taylor
had not a solitary title to distinction, nor a solitary
quality redeeming him from the common herd 'of
n.en. By common consent, ho seems to have

his induction into oHice. The Presidency itself
has scorned as roach a blank, as the political opinions
of the incumbent. It has been asserted indeed,
that he has been allowed a vote in the
Cabinet; hut as no effects could ever be traoeu
such an influence, the statement is iq great need of
confirmation.
But if the people of the South were left to conjecture
whether they had elected a man or a
shadow to the Preaidenyf, they were allowed no
such privilege of doubt as te the character of the
Administration they had placed in power. It
was not only Whig in the clffiOjt nartv sense, to

truly a charming result of electing a xifW" to the

, We have been in no haste to draw these con(
elusions in reference to the present administration,
and have desired that they should plainly show
1 ,u-:- u?J- c-t
. is? nanus ueiore we undertook to characterise
their game. Perhaps, too, it would hardly have
been fair to take the indications of the National
Intelligencer and- the National Whig 86 revelations
of the opinions or designs of those in power.
These papers were understood notto be fajto*.
ites, and neither of them destined to till the office
of Court Journal. A new paper was to he established,
frosh end green, like the President's pojjliiical
studies, Which, having no back'files wMh
which it could l>e rasped, no past character Hi
, maintain, no plcoges to make good, thus offered
itself a simple mass of doogh, to be fashioned in
whatever shape the wisdom and stupidity of the
Administration might fancy. This paper has been
, established. It is understood to be the organ,.and
, is called " The Republic,"
On the third day of its existence, and the first
of its disclosures, in an article entitled " Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad," this authorative and chosen
representative of tho Taylor Administration,
makes the following comment upon Mr. Calhoun's
recently published letter declining to attend the
Memphis Convention :
" To the committee making the preparations
for this convention, Mr. Calhoun has addressed a
idler, which we cony below ns part of the history
of the times. We cannot, however, porraja
it to appear without expressing our deep and sincere
regret that this gentleman should lose no occasion,
however inapproprfote, to thnu^.nut suggestions
conceived in a spirit of hostile to the
perpetuity of the Union."
No one can read this paragraph, without seeing
by ita own light, as it were, that tho Republic
must, in the na'ureof things, be, what it ia affirmed
to be, the faithful exponent of the Administration.
Thisextract bears all their characteristic,
and aanctimonious, pretension* to moderation
...l '
...u ^...w.111, inrir innnco, using calumy as its
natural language, and their ennrmnui incapacity
to understand the transparency of their own
crooked proceeding. If the Republic had felt
any " deep and sincere regret" at an occassion for
assailing Mr. Calhoun, why did it go out of it*
way to pick up, from the gutter of party slander,
an imputation, for which Itia recent teller affords
no pretext It looks rather like excessive eagerness
to m?ke occasion for declaring the spirit and
designs of the Administration to be all hostile to
the Mouth, " deep and sincere regret" for the necessity
of casting reproach upon one o( its great
statesmen, and consistent defenders. '
But the letter itself leaves no room to doubt,
and no excuse for misrepresenting, the broad end
patriotic spirit with which tho writer had Considered
the subject of a connection between the Atlantic
and PacWie shores. It should be made, he
says, with no reference to aeetional advantages,
but for the good of the whole country ; and it is
only because we are threatened by the North with
forcible exclusion from all share in cur Pacific territory,
and that they demand to make its acquisi- '
tion not only a means of mere sectional aggrandisement,
but also an oecasion for insulting and
degrading the Southern Stales through the legislation
of Congress?-it is for these reasons that
