NEWS BY THE PANAMA MAIL.

New Toek, 21st August, 11 a.m. This morning we are in receipt of European dates, through the Atlantic Cable, to the 21th inst., as the following despatches will show : — Paris, 18th August. The Peace Congres is in session, and negotiations are making favorable progress. The ratifications of a treaty of peace will, it is expected, be exchanged in ten days. Bermn, 18th August. A bill is under discussion in the Prussian Chambers which has for its object the annexation to Prussia of the King- J dom of Hanover, the Electorate of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, and the city of Frankfort. Paris, 18th August. The Emperor Napoleon denies having entertained any design of annexing any of the territory of Belgium to France. Paris, 20th August. It is rumored here that the Italian Government will soon treat directly with the Pope for the cession of his temporal dominions and the establishment of Koine as the capital of Italy. The French papers keep silent in regard to the question of the rectification of the frontiers of Frauce. j London, 20th August, noon. j There is nothing of importance to j report to-day in British politics. Consols for money, 88i, and United States five-twenties, 69i. Our latest European dates by steamer are to the 10th of August. The London journals refer, in words of very strong approval, to the patriotic position assumed by President Johnson for the restoration of the Union, as against the radical republican " fanaticism," which is likely to " bring "about another war." The people of Hanover are most violently opposed to the idea of annexation to Prussia ; and, we are told, are resolved to maatain " their independence and dynasty." They make a sort of appeal to England. Napoleon is said to have informed the Pope that the French troops will evacuate Eome^n the very day named in a late order, and that his Holiness must treat "politically and financially" with Italy afterwards. The prize fight between Jem Mace and Joe Goss, for the Championship of England was a very severe one. Twentyone rounds were fought, when Mace, amid loud cheers, was declared the victor. He was not much hurt, but Goss was fearfully punished.
