~ ARRIVAL OF THE HUMBOLDT. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. The Spirited Letter o: Mrs. Ex- President Tyler in England. INTERESTING FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE, Suppression of the Milan Insurrection. imerease of Austrian Tyranny io Italy, STATE OF THE MARKETS. Terrible Steamboat Disaster in England, FIFTY LIVES LOST. ‘The Relations between England and France. THE EMPEROR’S SPEECH, &o., ke, &. The United States mail steamship Humboldt, Cap- tain J. D. Lines, arrived at this port at half-past nine o’clock this morning, after a run of twelve daysfrom the English coast, have stopped outside Sandy Hook yon Monday evening. The Humboldt left Havre on the 15th ult., touch- ed off Cowes, at the entrance of Southampton water | on the following day, whence, after receiving the English mails, Pade up in London on the morning of the 16th, she sailed at 4 P. M. The Humboldt had easterly winds up to the banks, and from the banks here had strong westerly winds and a rough head sea; also variable winds and weather. The passage, for the winter seasoit however, has been a mild, moderate one. = Amongst the passengers by this steamer is Mr. Joseph Rodney Croskey, Consul of the United States at Southampton, and agent at that port for the American, Bremen, and Havre lines of steamers. The object of Mr. Croskey’s visit to this side of the Atlantic is, we understand, to facilitate an extension of steam navigation between New York and Southamp- ton, in connection with other parts of Europe, in which there is a large and at present unoccupied field for American enterprise. Among the passen- | gers, also, are Mr. Joseph Maggelan, Secretary to the Spanish Legation at Washington, and Mr. Francis Pulesky, who was once here with Kossuth. The Humboldt brings on freight 750 tons measure- ment of rich and valuable continental manufactures. This is the largest cargo ever brought from Havre by steam, its value being estimated at between two and three millions of dollars. It consists of $96,600 in gold, a large quantity of jewelry and valuables, and 740 tous of fine French, Swiss, and German manu- factured goods. ‘Gn the 13th ult.,a fine Spanish steam frigate left Havrefor Spain, having on board $2,500,000 in specie, being the amount of a loan effected by the Spanish government from a banking house in Paris. The Cunard mail steamer Europa, from Boston and Halifax, reached Liverpool on Sunday, the 13th who wields the pen with a significant Gerceness, and who was singled out as oue of athousand at a reply. Our fair castigator does net leave a raw place un- touched. Ireland, the polis, the Dunrobin es: | tate, the old slave trade, the Ducheas of Sutherland's | diamonds, our pressgang—nay, the yery amount of | our poor rates and Charitable collections, our | Queen, our bishops, our statesmen, our cotton im- ports, and our crocodile tears, are all lashed in suc- cession with merciless dexterity. There is not a | point of the whole body politic that does not come | | in for its share of the chastisement. For all this we have to thank a little coterie of lady puilansacoolee. who were too much affected by the sufferings of “Uncle Tom,” and his heroic young friends, to re- member that those models of excellence were bora and bred under the very system denounced. Our | vocation, as journalists, brings us into too close fami- | liarity with the brittle nature of our own social fabric, | and we hesitate to throw stones which our opponents will be too glad to throw back at our own heads. The temerity of the Sutherland appeal served only to | show that the fair appellants were not sufficiently acquainted with the evils much more within their | reach and their sphere of obligation. But we cannot be quite resigned under Mrs. Julia's | lash, The crushed worm will turn, and the school- | boy will remonstrate from the block if he has a | shadow of a ground for complaint. It is rather too much even for Mrs. ex-President Tyler to write as if England had done nothing, suffered nothing, paid | nothing, in the cause of abolition. We cannot admit | that we are perfectly unchanged since the dayswhen | | Queen Anne and the King of Spain divided the spoils | of the slave trade, and that our statesmen, legislators, | prelates and peeresses are just the same sort of peo- | ple they have been for two hundred years. In order to carry out this violent supposition, the fair Julia is | obliged to set dowm the cause of Wilberforce and | Clarkson—to what does the reader imagine? To | envy of the United States, to revenge for their suc cessful revolt, to grief at the loss of their market, | (which, by the bye, we have not lost.) to the nefari- | ous design of sowing discord between the Northern and Southern States, and to various other such mo- ives, intelligible to a certain class of feminine un- | derstandings, but utterly inconceivable to any ordi- nary man. We must also beg to ask the fair ranger of Sherwood Forest, Virginia, U.S., jast to look at the comparative space of the map occupied by her country, washed, as she says, by two oceans, and the British Isles. She will see that we may be excused for finding more difficulty in feeding thirty millions than the Americans in feeding twenty-six. If, in defending her own institu- | tions from British interference, she really let ours alone, she would do enough, and ‘more than enough, for her part in the quarrel. But she | them at every point she gives up her vantage ground, | and almost “Foatifies the intervention of the Suther- cratical institutions she speaks of are more than a thousand years old, and, even if we wished, we could | tional character of which the United States is so illustrious a result.

The same official Gazette says:—Fresh measures have been adopted to secure more and more public tranquillity, and prevent further attempts against the lives and property of the citizens.

In the provinces no disturbance of any | ind occurred.” _ The Colonel Director of the Police had likewise | issued a notice,prohibiting the carrlage of bludgeons, and the wearing of any sign or revolutionary emblem “It being proved,” says the director,“‘that individuals, strangers to the city, and even the province of Milan, | have arrived, fot the sole objett of exciting distur- | | bances, or profiting by them to advance their perfi- | dious designs, they are enjoined to retire immediate: | ly and return to their respective homes. The delin- | quents must only ascribe to themselves the rigorous measures with which they may be visited.” The Milan Gazette of the 7th, after publishing the proclamation of Count Strassoldo, say “Public tranquillity was disturbed yesterday. The subversive party, which cannot permit peaceable ci- tizens to indulge in the innocent pleasures of the carnival, wished to immolate fresh victims to their revolutionary designs. Yesterday, at six o'clock P.M., some soldiers were attacked in the streets. The authorities immediately ordered repressive mea- | sures, Strong patrols traversed the city, and arrest- ed a number of persons armed with long stilettoes, who will be tried by court-martial during the state of siege. At eight o'clock tranquillity was nearly re- | stored, and the theatres were opened as usual. We have to deplore lives lost on both sides, and many | wounded.

Publi nquillity has not been dis- | turbed in the provinces | The following isan extract froma private letter received by a mercantile house in London :— “ MILAN, Feb. 7. | “From the morning a rumor was in circulation in | the city that a revolution would commence at two | o'clock P. M.; but no one believed it, thinking it was | a fable invented by some madman. Such, however, | revolutions were perfectly quiet in the streets; it is true that, on account of the bad weather, there were land House philanthropists. The royal and aristo- | few persons out; the military were marching about | some of t they were honest and sincere in the professions which they held out to others; they must take care not to wound the character, the honor, and the feelings of those with whom they held intercourse. He was anxious te hear, on the part of the government, an expression of the amicable feeling which he was sure they entertained towards the goverument of France, and therefore it was that he had ventured to allade tothis subject. With respect to the particular papers which he asked the production of, he presumed there could be no difliculty in laying them on the table of the House; but or course he was entirely in the hands ofthe House. The noble lord who latoly held the seals of the Foreign Office informed them last December that information had been received of the establishment of the French empire, and that her Majesty had at once recognized the throve to which Louis Napoleon had been elevated. He presumed the communica- ions which passed on that occasion had been reduced to writing in somé shape or other, and his request was that they should be ia:4 on their Noy ng table. Of course, if there was any reason Why fhe despatch- es, or any part of them, should not be produced, he would not press the noble ear! to do so.. But if, at he apprehended was the case, there was nething but a cordial understanding and good wishes on both sides, there could be no harm in the the papers, and he hoped that nothing had occurred since to weaken the friendship and _cordiality which the noble earl then at the Foreign Office said existed. The Earl of AnexpEEN.—My lords, it is not neces- sary for me to give any assurance to your lordships of the earnest desire entertained by her Majesty’s government to cultivate the most intimate rela- tions of friendship and alliance with the Frenc government, for assuredly eo long as the policy | of France is a policy of peace and friendship neither we nor any other State, have any sort of right to interfere with the internal concerns, or the form of government, or even the dynasty that the French people may please to establish. (Hear, hear.) Iam kappy to assure the noble marquis that the best possible uiderstanding continues unbroken between the governments of the two countries ; nor is there anything that can pepe asin the least like- | ite endanger or diminish the cordiality of that un- | lerstanding. (Hear, hear.) 1 will venture to say | that no person is more ready to maintain this good | understanding in its full integrity than my right hon. friend to whose speech the noble marquis has refer- red. (Hear, hear.) The noble marquis has neglect- ed cr omitted to describe the circumstances under | which that speech was delivered. It was. speech | made to_his constituents, and with a freedom of ex- pression in which,perhaps, he mayfhave employed, in- | advertently, terms which he would not have used ifhe | had been addressing the House of Commons. But Task | the noble marquis to recollect the circumstances in | does not let our institutions alone, and by attacking | was not the case. People who have no desire for | which those expressions were used—that my right honorable friend was addressing his constituents, and arguing aenlna a wish which seemed to exist among | em in favor of universal suffrage and the | peosucalon of | of 20,000 men. The following is a report of the ceremony :— Panis, Feb. 14, 1963. The opening of the Legislative bodies took place this day, in the Palace of the Tuileries, pursuant to the announcement to that effect. The members.of the Senate had previously assembled at the Palace ted by detachments of Lancers, to ‘The members of the Legislative corps | also previously met in their chamber, and proceeded with a similar train to the palace. The members of the Council of State left. the palace at nearly the | same time, and at half-past 12 o'clock the cache | entered their carriages in the court of the Palais de Justice, clad in their scarlet and ermine robes of office, and proceeded to the Tuileries, attended by a uard of honor, composed of the Gendarmerie d’elite. The ceremony took place inthe same apartment— the Salle des Maréchaux—where the Chambers were opened in February last, and with the same formali- ties as on that occasion, The Emperor was accom panied by the Empress. Beyond the members of the Senate, of the Legisiative corps, the Council of | ine State, the Judges, the other functionaries of State and the membe?s Of the diplomati¢ corps, there were | few strangers present, ‘The answer given to the ap: | plications for tickets at the oiiéd of the Minister was that there were no tickets. The speech of fue Hm- | peror is as follows THE EMPEROR'S SPEECH. | . Senators ani Deputios¢-A year since I ealled you together in this placo to inaugurate the constitution promulgated in virtue of the powers which the people | had conferred on me. Since that period calm has not | been disturbed. “he law, in resuming its sway, has al lowed the return to their homes of the majority of the men who were made the subject of necessary severity. ‘The riches of the nation have increased to such a point that that portion of our floating capital the value of which can be estimated amounts to about two milliards. ‘The activity of labor deyelopes itself in every branch of industry. ‘The same progress is being realized in Africa, where our army has just distinguished itself by heroic successes. The form of the government has been changed, without any shock, by the free suffrages of the people. Great works have been undertaken without the creation of any new tax, and without a loan. Peace has been maintained without weakness. All the powers have re- cognized the new government. France has now institu- tions which can defend themselves, and the stability of which do not depend on the life of one man. These results have not cost great efforts, because they werein the minds and for the interest of all. To those who would; doubt their imortance, I will reply that scarcely fourteen months ago, France was delivered up tothe hazards of anarchy. To those who may regret that a wider field has not been given to liberty, I will re- ply, that liberty has never aided in founding 'a durable political edifice; it crowns it when it has been consolida- ted by time. Let us, besides, not forget that the immense majority of the country has confidence in the present, and faith in the future; there still remain incorrigible individuals, who, forgetful of their own experience, of their past terrors, and of their disappointments, obsti- nately persist in paying no attention to the national will, as usual, and at a quarter before five o'clock you | ballot.

Up to 7 o'clock the firing was continued, and the tocsin was sounded at St. Stefano, St. Eustorgio, St. Gotardo, &c., but towards 8 o'clock all was ended. | “This movement was subeely, concerted by the rabble, who were doubtless paid by the Mazzinian | | committee.

Great interest was attached to what would trans- | pire in the Lords and Commons on the 14th, as great distrast of the new Emperor pervades almost ail classes in England. Throughout Great Britain and Ireland the winter had at last set in with great apparent rigor. Snow had everywhere fallen, and the frost was most in- tense. In the London Times, of the 15th ult., there is an account of 9 small party of soldiers having perished from cold, being overtaken in a snow drift on Dartmoor common.

The manufacturers throughout France were com- plaining of a general stagnation of trade, while the retail business was also falling off. The corn market was very dull, both in Paris and the departments. At the Mark lane corn market trade was not very | active, but a fair extent of business was done, at pre- vious prices. Flour was in improved request, and fresh American brands were held with increasing | firmness. English barley was in small supply. Malt very firm. Oats languid. Beans and peas dearer, Indian corn afloat in improved request, and fully as dear as in the previous week. The reports of the state of trade in the provinces generally mention less activity in business, but the trade of the country continues in a sound and healthy state.

It appears that Messrs. Saffi and Pistracci, formerly members of the republican government a! | Rome, came from London to the canton of Ticino, to be near the scene of action. They took up their quarters at Bellinzona, until a telegraphic order ar- rived from the authorities of Berne to send them out | of the canton. The anniversary of the battle of No- | yara had at first been chosen for the explosion of the | conspiracy. The chiefs were anxious to give the rising the appearance of a reparation of that disas- ter, and thus to induce the Piedmontese army to join in the movement; but many of the conspirators de- clared that it would be dangerous to wait until March, as the Austrian police was extremely vigilant, and would discover the plot. They resolved. to raise the standard on the Sunday of the Carni- val. On that day mobs collec! on three dif- ferent points of the capital of Lombardy, at the gates | of Ticino, Roma, le at lee having mane Sa the city, surprised a few id precdl and erected: barca at the corners of several streets with every article they found.

In the House of Lords, on the 14th instant, the Marquis of CLaxricarDe said, that when he gave notice the other tA put a question to the wernment, he should have fixed another evening t the present for so doing, if he had had any idea that the business just concluded would have occupied their lordships s0 long. At the same time, having givem that notice, he now felt it incumbent on him to seek for some explanation of Gay eta of Her Ma- extraordinary speech to which he had on a former night alluded— he meant, of course, the ‘h of the President of the Board of Control at Halifax. The qwestion was not whether an individual minister mighié-have com- mitted an indiscretion or uttered hastily a word or phrase without due reflection, but ther the | overnments of this country and of France contianed | Dentertain the same sent nts of amiby and cordi- | cabinet minister, made om such an occasion,.could at any | time be without im: ; and the h to whicl attention at Paris. wish to attach importance to words which might. | have been hastily used; but, at the aame¢ time, impor~ | tance having been given by the pubiic to the express | sions he alluded to, it was most desirable that theie lordships should have an explaration of the terras | on which the Ministry wished to, continue with the ‘overnment of France. He could not subscribe. to e doctrine that a cabinet minister and confidential | servant of the crown was not bound to preserve raore | discretion in his cs 7 used publicly than 2, per- | gon to whom no responsibility attached. They,were all aware that, on mene f fy ose questi the views of the government had been communi to the people of this country in addresses to Clectors; | and it was also impossible to deny that dusing the ns used in this ag had the | reatest effect on its continuance, and occasioned frnoh difficulty. It was only last year that, by lead- ing men on both sides of their lordships’ house, great importance was attached to articles and phrases in | newspapers which were said to be most indiscroet. But such articles were entirely different from lan. guage uttered with the responsibility that attached to persons in office; and it was impossible for the | government of this country to be responsible for whatever language might be used in the exercise of that free discussion which, thank God, we still enjoyed in this country. He would not enter into the ‘justice or injastice of tho strictures that might | have been made, but he wanted to know if it was 2. All | with the sanction of government that such strictnres | peror, who delivered 4 as he had referred to had been employed; ou tay | were to maintain the honor, the dignity, the credit, | andthe influence of this country, they must take | cyre not onty that those ware untonched, ht that | | casion by the right hon. gentleman the President | France, he said so and so—the | neighboring countries, where the tem) pressed for. In the House of Commons, on the same evening, Mr. DiskakLi eaid—With respect to the question of which I gave notice on Friday, andwhichI wish | to address to the President of the Board of:Control, who, I'am sorry to learn, is unable to be in his place, | I have to state that if it be more convenient for the | overnment, and if it should be considered mere fair, should mention generally the subject of the: rela- | | tions existing between her Majesty’s government and | the French government, and give an opportunity for | | more extended explanations; but it is according to | lead what may be the wish of the government thatil shape my course. | Lord J. RusseuL.—My right honorable friend/the | President of the Board of Control, is not able:to at- tend.from indisposition; but, as the right honorable tats opposite has given notice of his apestion, think he had better proceed with it at present. (Heaz, hear.) | Mr. DisrarEL1—It is only necessary for ma-to call | the attention of the House to the para; h alleged | to have been delivered in a speech at Halifax by the: | right honorable gentleman the Presiden of the | Board of Control. I read it the other day, and,.if it is suet, I will read it again. The right honorable gent in, the President of the Board of Control, in a Hips addressed to his constituents, very recently, | had oceasion to speak of the conduct of the present | Emperor of the French. He used these wor:ts :— ‘Take our nearest neighbors; such a despotism never | prevailed in Europe, even in’ the time of Napoleon I. | e press iberty suppressed; no man aldowed to | speak his opinion; the neighboring country of Belgium forced to gag her press; no press in Europe free but ours, which, thank God'he eannct gag; and hence his hatred of | our press, that it alone dares to speak the truth. (Hear, hear.) I wish to inquire of the right hon. | entleman, and shail be happy to receive an answer from the noble lord, whether P. that is an accurate and | fair report of the sentiments expressed on that oc- | of the Board of Control? Lord J. Russety.—The right hon. gentleman, in alluding to this subject the other night, steted that my right hon. friend the President of the Board of | Control had occasion, in his speech at Halifax, to ad- | vert to our foreign relations, and that, speaking of words which the right: hon. gentleman has repeated this. evening- In the first place, I think it necessary to state, that whatany right hon. friend said was not ina hb with respect to our relations, to which he was not adverting, but that it was in a speech to his constituents, in which he took an opportunity of ur- / gingshis views on universal suffrage’and on parlia- mentary reform in general. There is avery difference between using an ar; nt on that sub- ct and spin over the state of our reiations with oe. But thought it necessary, after what had occurred, to call on my right hon. friend, and he | has written me a letter to-day, which [ shall read to ee aoe See oe ake Gee, | a can make on su of my right. bon. friend's expressions :— . Tam sorry to learn that any expressions reported to have been used by me in addressing a maeting of my con- | stituents at should have been saderstood as of- fensive to the Emperor of the French. {cannet protend to sey whether I or did not use the words. contained in the reports of my speech, but it is very Mole that, speakiog, asl was, withonb any preaaeiies tiem, in a meeting of that kind, an incautious expression may have escaped me.

Billault, annougced that he had received from M.Bouhir a letter conceived in terms so improper that he considered it his duty to abstain from reading it in-public. ‘‘M. Beuhir,’”” he said, ‘is free to give in his resignation; but it is not permitted that he should protest against the will of the nation and the constitution.” M. Bouhir exclaimed against the interpretation ascribed to his words, but the President ordered him to be silent, and declared that if during the next fifteen days he had not taken the oath required by the constitution, he should be considered as having would lead to a correct understanding of the trans- | resigned. After this incident the Assembly rose. The Monitewr of Paris publishes the followiag ar- ticle, (supposed to be from the pen of the ror: himseif,) on the pamphlet entitled ‘Lettres Fran- ques.” It will-be seen that the sanguinary pening of the writer of the pamphlet, which caused so muc! uneasiness in Bngland, are entirely disavowed bythe: French government: Parties cannot aceu: oe eee to bergen — Europe escape from thei nds. The peace of the work is onerous to ‘hens Net daring to hope anything more frem « the public spirit, sbased fora moment, their only hope isin the return of disorder. For that all means are good to them; onone band, sangui provocations: on the other, anoa- mous calumnies, writings which, under pretext of awa- ening the generous instincts of the country, only tend to em astray. and to keep up by those means distrust and agitation. Such is the ee of a new pamphlet, | entitled “Lettres Francais,” published by a writer of the legitimist party, and which would no more merit the at- | tention of the governmest than of the public if there was not reason to believe that silence wo: be falsely inter- reted. The author addresses himself, sans facon, to the Fnpieer of the French; he decides with an incredible | self-sufficiency on the highest diplomatic questions and the destinies of Europe: After having taken for the motto of his pamphlet the: memorable words of the speech at Bordeaux, ‘The empive is peace,’’ the author only applios himeelf to urge Franee to war by holding up to its resent- ment established treaties, and endeavoring to revive an ancient hatred against England. The tactics of those who inspire sueh publications are not difficult to be under- stood. They said to-themselves that the gorernment of the Emperor would be placed in the disagreeable alterna tive. either of wounding the national feeling by dombat- ing these writings, or by its silence giving them 4 sort of oval which should be for Europe a permanent cause of disquietude-and distrust. It is so painful for the vanquished parties to-see peaceand the general proa- rity established without them and in spite of them. The tare is of too.grose a kind for the country and the government to be caught in it. The Emperor, as well as France, wishes for peace—a fruitful, honorable peace, the only one which becomes the nation; and certainly it is nottothe old parties that the heir of Napoleon :the Great will go to ask counsel about national honor and dignity. One cannot feel too much surprise at such provocations proceeding from those who entert iti- mist opinions. Do those writers believe, then, that France has forgotten her recent history. and do they not know that it would be easy to confound them with it? But the government has toe much at heart the interest and the glory of the eguntry, it considers the cessation of our ancient dissensions of too much importance to allew it- self to have recourse to recyimination, even the best founded, by reviving molanchohy reccllectiona. The Minister of. Police has sent a first warning to. the Gazette de Kyance, for having published in its number of 12th February a false statement, to the. following effeet:—‘‘A circumstance which passed br nade! at Paris, and which is made known to us by the oe of the departments, is the visit of tha police to M. Roshachild’s residence.” As this asser- tion is declared to be fulse, the beige os given. On the evening of the 15th ult., the Emperor and Empress visited.the opera, and were well received by the audience, amongst whom were several illustrious personages of the political, financial and literary. ‘world.

Tha combined: opposi- tins had not been able to return more than actor would therefore be considerable. Tha. Paris corres- pandent of the Times, in reference to Spanish affairs, says :~--“Private letters from, Madrid state that the opposition isin a state of much exasperation, and at one of the generals said, on @ recent occasion, to the effect, that, if the. abandonment of d reforms could not be effected by legal means, others showd be adopted, For the truth of thie the writer of the letter is responsible; but 1 may add that it proceeds from one whois decidediy hos- tile to the government. It is stated, as a matter of course, that every means, the most illegal avd the moet arbitrary, haze been practised by the govern- ment agents to seeare the elgction of its candidates, and to deter thoge of the opposition from coming for- ward. This is not improbable, but it is a reproach from which no pee in Spain is free. been recently said about Marshal Narvaez, who, how- ever, appears determined to continue still afflicted with, | his old covgplaint, until it be finally decided whether he goes to Vienna or returns to Madrid to de | tried dy court martial for disobedience of the | Poyal order, or take his seat in the Senate. It was surmised that the mission of M.

It is at all events certain thatthe Progre- sistas have been moet zealous in their efforts to gain over such an ally. Should the Cabinet be over- thrown by the united efforts of both political par- ties, I have no doubt hat the Moderados and the Progresistas would soon quarrel when the am came to be divided, and failing that, that the revival of the old dissension between the rival generals and statesmen of the conservative party would at no great interval of time follow the triumph over the government.” Turkey. ABD-EL KADER AT BROUSSA—KINDNESS OF THE AL- — TAN TO THE EX-EMIR. By correspondence from Constantinople, we are in- formed that the Emir Abd-el-Kader arrived at Brous- sa on the 17th January, and wre goined the following day by his family and those of his two former Kalifs. All appeared enchanted with their new residence. The Governor of Broussa received them with the greatest distinction. By his orders, one of tlie prin. spel rsonages of the city, Si-Mokhtar-Bey, met Abd-el-Kader at Guemetek, the port of Broussa, with his own horses, his finest saddle, and his carriage. An escéwt of cavalry also awaited him there, and greatest nuinber of the officers of the Pasha’s house- hold came out to compliment him, and joined his es- cort on the Guenitlek road. The Sultan assigned as aresidence to the Emir one of the finest houses of Broussa, which was [tned with carpets and divans at his own expense. The French government supplied him with all the other articles of furniture he wanted, and Abd-el-Kader and his family are now most oom- fortably installed. The families of the two Kalifs are lodged in adjoining houses. Of Montenegro, there is little to be said, excepting that it is pornosed to be owing to Russian in! = rence that the Porte consented to order Omer Pasha pend hostilities. The expenses of the expedi- ready amount to 32,000,000 piastres. Ind China.

The court of Ava having refused to make amends for the injuries and insults which British subjeets had suf- fered ut the hands of its servants, the Governor-General a India in council resolved to exact reparation by foros of arms. ‘The forts and-cities on the coast were forthwith at- tacked and captured, the Burman forces Ive been dis- persed wherever they have been met, and the prevines of Pegu is now inthe occupation of British troops. ‘The just and moderate demands of the government of India have been rejected by the King, the ample 5 nity that has been ‘afforded him fox Tepairing the injury that was done has been disregarded, and the'timely sub- mission, which alone could have been effectual to pre- vent the dismembermant of his kingdem, is still withheld.

The matter, probably, would have been quietly arranged, had not the mob from the country ‘beon bent on plunder, and attacked.some houses and barracoons, and it was not till the marines of her Majesty's steamer Salamander were called in, that quiet was restored. During the.affray, after the greatest forbearance, the marines were obliged to fire onthe mob, and, it is reported..a few Chinese were killed and several wounded. In consequence of this, on the.9th December, her Mejesty’s steamer Hermes proceeded to. Amoy, with the secretary of the Superintendent of Trade, to in- quire into the cause of the disturbance.

ANOTHER REDUCTION, BY THE BRITISIE GOVERN- MENT—THE FRENQH EMPEROR'S SPEECH, ETC. [From the London Times, Feb. 16.) The quotation of geld at Paris is about at par (accord. Ing to the new tariff,) which at tho English mint price of 11a. 10344. onaee for standard |, gives an ex- change of 26.17; and she exchangaat on London at short being 25.0734, it follows that gold is about 0.38 per cent dearer in Paria in Londan. of gold in 428 price of £3 178. 103d. By advices from ldamburg the mark, which, at thar English mi per ounce for standard gold, givoa an exchange of 13.63¢; and the exchange at Hamburg on London at short. being 18.5 34.fit follows that gold is 0.47 per cont cearer in Ham~ burg than in London. ‘The course of exchange at. New York on London for Dills at 60 days’ sight, is 110 per cent, and the par of ex- change between, England anc America being 109 23.40 per cent, it followe.that the exshange is nominally 0.42 pee cent in favor of England; apd, after raaking allowange for charges of.transport, the.presont rete leaves riding profit on the importation @ gold from the United States. Surpriee was ereated in the stock eschange this morn- ing, (Tuesday, Feb. 15,) by the issue of a notice that the. interest on ‘he exchequer, bills, whic! falls due onthe 10th, of March next, will be raduced frompits present rate of three half-penes per day, or £2 5s. 734d. per annum, to one penny per day, or 41 10s, 6d. per annura, A. redue-~ tion simimr to that waich took ; bate the soe billa last sprang—nawely,ta one penn farthing—was of course expectad bat ina: waa as Sir Charles Waod had refused bist yaar, when the bank rate af discount was only 2: per Gent, to mak reductian, even trom three, = yen per day, w Mr. Diezaeli a faw months after- wards, when the bank was discounting at 2 por cont, wauld me belpw a penny farthing, no, idea bad been qutertained by any one that, with money at 3 per cent and the poss ‘haley of a fuyther rise, the present moment would have Yen adopteg for desconding to the minimum ofapenny.
