Arrival ol the Empire City, 
The steamship Empire City arrived at New Or¬ 
leans on the 27th ult., from California with dates 
to the fith inst. 
Business was doll. The Pacific Express Com¬ 
pany has failed. 
The Empire City brings one hundred of Lack- 
ridge's men, and seventy other passengers, among 
them Generals Wheat and Hornsby, who go to 
New York io the Illinois. Colonel Lockrifive's 
retreat is confirmed. The Costa Ricans have taken 
possession of Punta Arenas and the steamer Res- 
cne, with a great amount of ammunition and six 
pieces of artillery. Colonel Lock ridge's men were 
taken to Aspinwall by British vessels. 
The .7. L. Stephens brings no further intelligence' 
from Gen. Walker. Private despatches received 
from Aspinwall state that his position at Iiiva 9 
was impregnable, and that lie was likely to hold 
out for months. 
The Transit Route is open to the Pacific. 
Gen. Walker’s brother died on the Empire City 
on the 2(Hh inst. 
1 , it, is ascer¬ 
tained, that there is a plan in the IJ. S. to make a 
diversion on Cuba in the event of war. 
M. PitJnl, the Bpeutleh Minister of Foreign Af¬ 
fairs, evinces great anxiety to come to an arrange¬ 
ment, and is moderate in his views, but the diffi¬ 
culty is tout Serior Laprugua, the Mexican Envoy, 
who is now at Parte, will not go to Madrid without 
the assurance of being received officially and pre¬ 
sented to the Queen, as formal representative of a 
country, charged with having murdered her sub¬ 
jects, without any punishment yet inflicted. 
The I’.iris Times correspondent speaks of strong 
hopes that the difficulty between Spain and Mexico 
will be adjusted. 
The .Spanish Embassador at Paris had an inter¬ 
view with Count. Waltveski and Lord Cowly and 
was to see the Mexican Envoy on Friday. If the 
attempts failed, the Spanish Government would 
probably address a note to the French and English 
Cabinets and perhaps to other powers, setting forth 
the moderation of its demand.-, and declaring that 
in the event of hostilities, the Cabinet at Madrid 
is not to be held responsible. 
General Intellioenck. — It is reported from 
Brussels that the four powers being wearied in the 
delay of the Neufehatel affairs, are about to draw 
up terms of their own, and call on Prussia and 
Switzerland to assent at once. 
Prussia is mediating between the Western 
Powers and Naples. 
Sardinia lias proposed to the Pope to resume 
negoclationa with Rome on the terms of a Cardi¬ 
nal’s Hat for Arch-Bishop Frangoni and a concor¬ 
dat for Sardinia generally. 
Wiriemherg Im* signed a concordat with Rome. 
The claims by Turkey for restitution of Persian 
territory is to be submitted by Persia to the arbi¬ 
tration of France uud England. 
The treaty between England and Persia had ar¬ 
rived at Teheran, but live or six weeks will elapse 
before the ratification. 
Le N*>rdc states that the grand Dnke Constan¬ 
tine will uot visit England,

England.— There Is no political news of a hos¬ 
tile character, bnt speculation in endless variety 
was indulged in. aa to tho Ministerial programme 
for the new Parliament. Among the immediate 
home measures probably were the following re¬ 
forms of the law and Chancery Courts; Continu¬ 
ance of the General Board of Health, the rights 
of married women, medical reiorm and revision of 
the whole system uf local taxation. 
It hud been announced that Evelyn Dennison 
would be the Ministerial nominee for Speaker.

Franck.— The French Government has resolved 
to adopt the English system of transportation of 
criminals. 
The Grand Duke Constantine had arrived at 
Toulon, and was received with usual honors.
