     The Steamer Canada, Captain Stone, 
     
     arrived at Halifax on Thursday morning, 
     
     at half-past one o’clock, from Liverpool,

     A telegraphic despatch from Vienna. 
     
     states, that a regular Congress will be held 
     
     there, and not a simple Conference, as was 
     
     atfirst supposed. A Special Minister will 
     
     be sent by France. 
     
    

    
     It is reported in one ofthe Vienna papers 
     
     that the English are retiring from the siege 
     
     lines before Scbnstopol, and are with the 
     
     French guard, to form the reserve at Bala- 
     
     ldava. 
     
    

    
     The King of Naples presided at a Cabi-
