AMERICA,
The Auckland papers publish later intelligence from America., rccoived by way of California. We extract the following from the Weekly Neios of the 26th May. We have dates from New York to the 10th of March. President Johnson seems determined to carry out his policy of admitting the Sou tli evn States to Congress, aud probably will succeed. Every mail strengthens the impression that President Johnson is a man in every way fitted to deal with the crisis in America. The Fenians have gone on steadily organising their forces for an attack on Canada, where the utmost energy is shown in preparing for their reception. The threatening state of affairs, as reported, cannot last long; and it is by no means improbable that the Federal Government will give active support to the Fenians in ease of a collision with the Canadian forces Whether England is prepared for such a contest remins to be seen. The Emperor of Mexico does not appear to make great progress in pacifying the country. Congress has refused to guaransee the loan of 50,000,000, dollars to the Mexican He public. It is said the bonds were all bought by a number of American capitalists for five million dollars, aud if they obtain a guarantee they will net forty-five million dollars. The San Francisco papers state that St. Patrick's Day in that city and throughout the State and British Columbia passed oil quietly. The Fenians made a public display at the principal centres of population, and the destruction of England was the theme of manv. orators. There lias been a fight with the Indians in Arizona, aud thirty Apaches were killed. The attack was a daybreak su prise by a party of forty volunteers, composed of native-born Arizonians.
