quelled. In
the South, General Cruz had an army of 400 regulars, and 2,500 militia,
the latter badly armed and clothed. He had not left the Province of
Conception. Bulnes was expected on the frontier of that province with
1,000 troops of the line and 300 militiamen, all well armed, clothed,
and paid. He appeared determined to run no risks, and it was generally
supposed he would soon restore order and quietness. In Ecuador, the
Presidency of General Urbina has been acceptable, and it is probable
that peace will be maintained for some time. Peru is in perfect
tranquillity, and this peaceable state is greatly contributing to its
advancement. Bolivia is also in peace, although the Congress has not
fulfilled the promises with which it began its meetings. At first, some
of the members dared to claim reforms in the Government, but they were
silenced, and that body will close its session without having done any
thing except abolishing Quina Bank, a measure which Government had
resolved.

Throughout all parts of Europe there seems to be a well grounded
apprehension of an extraordinary effort to put down every species of
despotism during the coming year. An impression prevails that the
occasion of the presidential election in France will be seized on for a
general rising, not only in that country, but in Italy, Germany, and
Hungary, and the Revolutionary Congress, in London, of which the
presiding genius is Mazzini, will predetermine affairs for all the
States, so that each shall have the greatest possible advantage.
Governor Kossuth will be back in time to assume the general leadership
in northern and eastern Europe.

From England we have intelligence of no important movement since the
departure of Kossuth. No subject attracts more attention than that of
the extensive and systematic emigration which is taking place to America
and Australia. We learn from the report of the Registrar-General, for
the three months ended 30th September last, that during those months
85,603 emigrants sailed from the several ports at which government
emigration agents are stationed. This is at the rate of nearly 1,000
persons a day. It is probable that one-half of the total number were
Irish. Of the 85,603, 68,960 sailed for the Atlantic ports of the Union;
and the remaining 16,643 were distributed in the proportions of 9,268 to
British North America, 6,097 to the Australian colonies, and 1,278 to
other places. So far, the total emigration of 1851
