M From Europe, We subjoin some extracts from the . news brought by the steamer City of 1 Washington: oKEAT narrAXN. The news per the steamer Australa? sian, in regard to the attitude taken . by the American Government toward 'Trance, on the Mexican question, has attracted much? attention, and the gravity of the situation was generally admitted. ' ? The London Times thinks the best hopes of the maintenance of peace be in the deep feelings of friendship and sympathy which the Americans have toward the French people. The Times says: "The language of M. Drouyn de l'Huys leads to the bebef that the auxiliary corps would be re? called to Europe at once if the Ame? rican Government would give a pledge that Mexico should be left to settle its own future destiny, and we hope so moderate a solution of a most embar? rassing question will be accepted by President Johnson." The Times, of the 23d, in its city article, says: Mexican securities were severely depressed by the persistent symptoms that her present course ol order and progress may be interrupt? ed; and the reign of anarchy re-estab? lished. The Special Commission for the trial of the Fenians continued it operations in Dublin. There were still twenty-seven cases to dispose of, and it is stated that the judges would continue their sittings, if necessary, until the last day permitted by the circuit arrangements; i. e., about th? 17th of February. The Irish police were [ scouring th< country in all directions in search o Stephens. One day, tho " Heat Centre" was reported to be at Cork another day among the wilds of Con naught. A favorite theory -was, tha he was still in the neighborhood o Dublin ; but it was currently rumoret at Belfast that he had fled Northward and had been actually traced as far a Newry. Three alleged Fenians-one of then au ex-captain in the Federal army Thomas Henry O'Brien, of the 88tl New York Irish Volunteers-had bee] arrested at Belfast. The Union and Emancipation So ciety held its last meeting at Man chester on the 22d January. And th dissolution of the Society was cele brated by a conversazione at th Town Hall. Professor Goldwiu Smitl delivered an address on the civil wa in America, and his allusions to th abolition of slavery evoked much en thusiasm. Mr. Fenwick is gazetted as one c the Lords of the Admiralty. THE EMPEROR'S SPEECH-WHAT IS SAX OF IT. The London Times says the who] tenor of the Emperor Napoleon1 speech convinces it that the solutio of the Mexican difficulty must com from the United States. The o f?t involved in the Imperial address i the withdrawal of the French fore? from Mexico, on receiving an assui ance that the American Governmer will not impede the consolidation ( the new Empire. Tho Times fee confident that the American Goven ment will be eager to accept a pacif solution of the Mexican difficult; compatible with the dignity of bot nations. The meeting organized by the a sociation of French ladies for sein ing help to America, took place, i announced in the Sal e Herz. Tl chair was occupied by M. Laboulay who in an eloquent opening addre gave a short sketch of the formatic of the society. He spoke of tl French ladies as excited to take tl initiative in some work by the e: ample of their sisters in England ar America, and judging from the r suit, he thought their debut was n< unsuccessful. After alluding to tl perfectly unsectarian character of tl association, he mentioned that sin its formation in April last, ten eas containing 5,332 articles of clo thin valued at 27,969 francs, and 27,4< francs in money, had been sent 1 the committee, making in all 54,9; francs. Among the other speak e. were the Rev. M. Grandpierre ai the Rev. M. Dhombres, pastors the Reformed Church of Franc Prenice de Broglie and M. Cochi The last named gentleman gave most interesting account of the pr gress of emancipation in Cuba. T] sale of the tickets and the collects at the close of the meeting amount to nearly 3,000 francs. In the Corps L?gislatif, on the 23 Count Walewski took his seat as Pi sident of the Chamber. In his ope ing address, he passed an eulogiu upon his predecessor, the late Du de Morny, and paid a tribute to t manner in which M. Schneider pi sided during the last session. Cou Walewski also praised the spirit moderation displayed by the Cha: ber, and expressed a hope that t deputies would give him their cord concurrence. In conclusion, he t dared his intention to protect t lil>erty of opinions conseientioui expressed. The usual official report of t state of the empire had been cornu mealed to the Corps L?gislatif. On the subject of Mexico, the port says: "The French Government, ou i dertaking the expedition to Mexi< placed before it an aim which it 1 renderer subordinate to its condu and on which its decisions ore s pending.. We went on to Mexico obtain ??jlress, not to proselytize the causj^f monarchy. Our soldi ' m are not in Mexico -with the object of intervention. The Imperial Govern? ment has constantly repelled that doctrine, as contrary to the funda? mental principles of our rights. Mexico is at present ruled by a regu? lar form of government. Anxious to fulfill the engagements it has made in respect both to the persons and pro? perties of foreigners, when the neces? sary arrangements are made with the Emperor Maximilian, we shall be so far from repudiating the results of our principles as regards, interven tion. that we shall, on the contrary, accept them as the guiding mle for all powers, and it will then be easy to foretell the time when we shall be able to effect the return of the expe? ditionary army. " The Paris Bourse, on the 23d, was heavy, closing at 68.55. Further details of the foreign ad? vices per steamer Palestine, which has arrived at Boston, have been re? ceived. The prominent point of interest in the news is the speech of the Empe? ror Napoleon jem the opening of the French Legislature. The Emperor, in his speech, said: The opening of the legislative ses? sion permits of a periodic exposition of the situation of the empire, and the expression to you of my views. As in preceding years, I will examine with you the prinoipal questions ! which interest our country abroad. Peace seems assured everywhere, for everywhere means are sought for of amicably settling difficulties in place of contending with the sword The bonds which attach us to Spain and ! Portugal are still more strengthened by my late interview with the sove? reigns of those two kingdoms. You have shared with me the gene? ral indignation produced by the as? sassination of President Lincoln, and recently the death of the King of the Belgians has caused unanimous re? grets. In Mexico, the Government found? ed on the will of the people is being consolidated, and the opposition, conquered and dispersed, have no longer a chief. The national troops have displayed valor, and the country has found guarantees of order and security which have developed its resources and raised commerce with France alone from $21,000,000 to $77,000.000. As I expressed a hope, last year, that our expedition was approaching its termination, I am coming to an understanding with the Emperor Max? imilian to fix an epoch for the recall of our troops before their return is effectuated without compromising French interests, which we have been defending in that remote country. North America, issuing victoriously from a formidable struggle, has re? established its Union, and solemnly proclaimed the abolition of slavery. France, who forgets no noble page of her history, offers up sincere wishes for the prosperity of the great Ame? rican Republic and the maintenance of amicable relations, which will soon have had a century's duration. The emotion produced in the United States by the presence of our troops on Mexican soil will be pacified by the frankness of our declarations. The American people will compre? hend that our expeditions, to which we invited them, were not opposed to then: interests. Two nations, equally jealous of their independence, ought to avoid every step which might affect their dignity and their honor. NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN THE PENNSYL? VANIA LEGISLATURE.-After a debate of several days in the Senate of Pennsylvania upon the resolution ap? proving the action of the Pennsyl? vania Congressmen who voted for negro suffrage in the District of Co? lumbia, and instructing the Senators of the State to vote for the same in the United States Senate, it was on Thursday last sent to the Committee on Federal Relations by a vote of yeas 18, nays 12. The Democratic Senators, we learn, voted solidly against recommitment, in order to bring their opponents to the test upon the resolution. Mr. Lowry, the most radical' of the negro fanatics, voted with the Democracy. The rest of the so-called Republican Senators, although having, with Lowry, spoken so broadly in favor of the "principle" of universal siiffrage, did not think it politic to make that au issue in Pennsylvania; they therefore voted solidly to recommit. This, of course, is a mere evasion and delay. It proposes the question of negro eqnality, but it holds it sus? pended over the people; and the only question is, when can such a meara re be carried?-Albany Argus. Paper money is rampant every? where. The circulation of the Bank of France, the first week of the pre? sent year, was 948,050,000 francs, the largest amount ever reached, above $180,000,000. The specie held by the bank amounted to about $80,000,000. The French are not civilized as Ameri? cans, for here no specie is required, no matter what a bank's circulation may be. A party of robbers passing recently through the country near Brandon, Mississippi, committed all kinds of outrages. The citizens raised a com? pany, pursued them, shot two dead, and captured one. The robbers killed one citizen, George Watts, in the attack. The Baptist Church ut LaCrpsse, Wisconsin, was burned on Wednesday morning. It was valued at $15,000. Who H?tes tn? UnUm* . Our attention has been called to the folio-wing extract from an edito? rial in the Louisville Democrat, which j we have been requested to publish: The African race \ is an eternal source of agitation. We have had nothing to compare with the experi? ments upon the liberty of the negro and the slavery of the white' man. The party in power always hated the Union as it was. They did not much disguise their abhorrence of it before they got power, -and now they confirm what was in faj?t plain before-that they cannot Abide the old Constitu? tion and the 'old Union. . They- re? solve to change it essentially. Not a vestige, of the old Government .will be left. Then it will suit radicalism. It will give the radicals power, and that is what they want. They would not dare to submit these changes to the whole people North and South to the people that are to five under it. They are to-day a minority, with purse and sword, babbling about free? dom, which they care nothing about, except their own freedom-their free? dom to domineer over and persecute other people. They do the work of their fathers, who came to this coun? try to free themselves and have the opportunity to oppress and persecute others. They entertain us with the same cant, and snivel about right, justice and God; and whilst they usurp power and commit perjury, they put on a sanctimonious face and prate about righteousness and justice. They are a body of revolutionists, with an utter disregard of- all that is sacred in covenant engagements, written down and ratified in constitu? tions. They are doing what they can .to justify in history the late rebellion. When men hereafter inquire why the South attempted to secede, they will look what sort of Government this party that attained power made; at their perversions of the Constitution ; at their vindictive measures toward the Southern States; and they will j not wonder that the South rebelled. If the party in power would make such changes by such means, and adopt such arbitrary and despotic practices toward the Southern States, who Cordd blame them for making the effort to cut loose from such a power? Neither North nor South ever con? ferred on the Federal Government th? power to do such deeds. They never consented to the existence of such a power. It is not written in the bond, and has no sanction but the purse and the sword. But no consideration will stop this fanaticism. It is mighty to destroy, but incapable of building up. All countries have at times been cursed with it, and we must have our day. THE "ARREST" OF GOVERNOR MORE? HEAD.-Many erroneous statements having been in circulation in regard to the arrest of Governor Morehead, at the late Government sale in this town, it may not be amiss to give a true account of the matter, as we understand it. The Governor claim? ed the property, or at least damages to the value thereof, but by a ride in law, before he could proceed to at? tempt to recover damages, it was his duty to protest against the salo, which he attempted to do, intending in the same connection to make a proposi? tion to which no one could take ex? ception, and which would not inter? fere in the least with the progress of the sale. But he was not allowed to proceed far with this proposition, until he was told by the officer con? ducting the saleto "consider himself under arrest." Of course, the Gover? nor said no more, and the sale went on, though, we believe, but one or two of the buildings on Governor Morehead's land were sold, the people declining to bid on the others. Late in the evening, the Governor was no? tified that, in consequence of his age and the inclemency of the weather, he would not be required to go to Haleigh that night, if he would give his sacred word of honor to be in readiness to go there when Tequire d. This he did.-Greensboro Patriot. Gerritt Smith has at length com? menced bis $50, OOO hbel suit against the Chicago Tribune. The suit is brought in the United States District Court, by summons returnable at the March term. The Tribune responds in a half column editorial, in which Smith is lampooned unmercifully. The health officer of Brooklyn, New York, has secured the voluntary services of forty eminent physicians, who will inspect every house, street and alley in the city, in order to a through cleansing against the cholera. A monetary convention has been signed between France, Belgium, Italy and Switzerland, the result of which will be that the money of each country will, in future, pass current in all the rest. There is a strong probability that S. S. Cox will be tho democratic candidate for Congress in the district now represented by Raymond, of the New York Times. The anxiety of the Mormons to flee from the impending wrath of the Government to Sandwich Islands is confirmed. A Southerner has been boarding in his own house in Beaufort, South Carohna, and paying the negro oc? cupant three dollars per day. Travebng is well nigh at an end in Minnesota, because of the severity of snow storms there. A fellow that doesn't benefit the world by his life, 1 ?s it by his death.

Ordered by the Legislature of South Caro? lina. THE undersigned Commissioners, ap? pointed by the General Assembly of South karolina, at its late session, will receive bids for the valuable WATER POWER known as the COLUMBIA CANAL, until tho first dav of April next. The Canal is eight thonsandsix hundred | and fifty-four yarns long, and tho average ? fall for the first three miles is fourteen feet, commencing at ten foet at Upper street, in j Columhia, and attaining nineteen feet one ? inch at Bridge street; the remaining two miles, from Bridge street to its month, commences at nineteen feet ten inches, and attains a fall of twentj'-five feet. Fine building sites exist between the canal and river, g.ving complete protection to build- i ings and machinery from freshets. Tho State, through the "undersigned, will con? vey tho canal and all its appurtenances, together with the right of way for sixty feet on each side of the centre of tho canal to the purchaser. Compensation to tho adjacent land owners for the right of way, to be made by the purchaser, on the same just and equitable terms that the right of "way was conveyed to tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, by Act of 15th December, 1845. This power has been accurately surveyed by Prof. John LeConte, of tho South Caro? lina University; his report, together with the Act of the'General Assembly and this advertisement, has been printed, and may bo ?btained by addressing Jas. G. Gibbes, Esq., Mayor of Columbia. Prof. LeConte estimates that by doubling the original capacity of the canal, as re? quired by the Act, that the power secured to Bridge street will be 355 horse-power, the average head being fourteen feet; and from Bridge stroet to its mouth 532 horse? power, with an average head of twenty-one feet, and a current of ono foot per second. With a current of two feet per second, the powers would be 710 and 1,064 horse-power; and if the machinery is not run at night, tho power may be doubled by accumiuat ing water in reservoirs. "As the supply of water," says Prof. LeConte, "which may bo turned from the river into the canal at its head, is almost unlimited, the canal can bo enlarged to an extent commensurate with the demand for water power. H desired, it may be made to supply water to the extent of 5,000 horse? power or more. In fact, by very simple arrangements, one-third or one-half, or oven more, of the whole water in Broad River, might be turned into such an en? larged canal." This water power is literally within the city of Columbia. The city is now supplied by railroads penetrating nearly every Dis? trict in tho State, furnishing the produc? tions of cotton, rice, wheat, beef and pro? visions, with little expense at this important point. The city of Columbia is supplied with gas and good"water, the climate is salubrious and nealthy, being above the miasmatic region, and invites, for pleasant settlement and society, merchants, artisans, mecha? nics, manufacturers and persons of for? tune and leisure. The property will he sold on tho following conditions, to wit: 1st. The purchaser shall, within two years from the date of conveyance, complote the widening and deepening of said canal to atleast twice ita origininal capacity. (Its original capacity was fifteen feet wide at top, eight feet at bottom and four feet in depth; to double it according to Prof. LeConte's report, it will require tho removal of 36,107 cubic yards of earth, and 3,200 cubic yards of stone to Bridge street, and from Bridge street to its mouth 22,176 cubic yards of earth-no stone to bo removed. ) That the same shall always be kept open for boating purposes, free of charges, to where it is now used. (This will not interfere at all with the water power for driving machine? ry, as boats only descend as far as the first lock, near Upper street.) That tho water shall not become stag? nant, and that it shall not be used for other than hydraulic purposes. That one-third or tho sum bid shall be paid within thirty days after notice of ac? ceptance of bid; one-third at the expiration of six months therefrom, and the remain? ing third at the expiration of twelve months. Titles delivered on payment df first instalment, and that the title horein proposed to be convoyed shall revert to the State, on default being made of any of the foregoing conditions, including payment of all the purchaso money. This water power with its "location, in the judgment of the Commissioners, is un? equaled ly any in the State of South Caro? lina, and not surpassed by any in the Southern country. Parties sending bids will please furnish the Commissioners with references as to the ability promptly to make good the same. All the communications may bc addressed to the undersigned at Columbia, S.
