I PARIS, APRIL 28. ADMIRAL VILLARET JOYEITSE TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE AND COLONIES. Harbour of Cafe Francois on board the Admiral's Ship, the .7entappe, March 6, 1862. " At the moment when the division of Contre Admiral Gantheaume was about to set sail, the Fri. gate La Corneille, from Jamaica, entered the Road. I hasten to acquaint you with the news received by her. " The English Admiral, Sir Jon Iv Duct:. woßri-t, behaved with the most distinguished politeness to Captain VILLEMAUDRIN, and Ensign de Vaisseau CLOUET, who carried to him my Dispatches. He seized the opportunity of celebrating the, return of Peace between the two Nations :, :the Frigate sa luted the Admiral and the Town,with a discharge of thirteen pieces of cannon, which were returned in the same manner by the Admiral and the Forts. All the Captains of the English Squadron hastened to make preparations for the visit of Captain VILLEMAUDRIN, and many received him to the sound of warlike music. Our Officers remarked, that the Portrait of the First Consul was very ge neral amongst the English Squadron. (Signed) " VILLARET."

On bard His Britannic Majesty's Ship the Leviathan, at Port Rcial, yamaica, I'l'6. 19, iSoz. c‘ SIR, " I received the letter which your Excellency did me the honour to write to me, communicating the arrival at the Cape of the French Forces under your command, and I am flattered by the confidence with which you have honoured me in informing me of the stare of those forces and their destination. This information is perfedly conformable to that which I received from His Majesty's Ministers, who transmitted to me at the same time orders from the King, my master, to treat the French Nation with all possible respeEl. v.o1) " So far however as relates to- Provisions, which your Excellency seems to fear you may be in want of, I sincerely regret that our present situation in consequence of the arrival of a great naval and mili. tary force, renders it impossible for me to give you any hope of assistance. Our own resources are J o limited too, I have been obliged to detach Frigates to different points, in order to seek the means of preserving us from entire distress, and I have, as well as your Excellency, sought to draw succours from the American Continent. " It is with sentiments of grief that I have learned the hostile reception your Excellency has met with, and the direct violation of all the duties of co lonies towards the mother country. " I perfedly agree with you as to the conse quences of such condud, and I think it is of the greatest importance to all the Powers of-Europe: But with the considerable force under the orders of your Excellency this revolt cannot be of long dura tion, and the devastations committed by the rebels can only produce a temporary evil. " I have the honour to 14, with high conside ration for your Excellency, " Your Excellency's obedient servant, " JOHN THOMAS DUCKWORTH."

" In a dispatch of the syst ult which you must have received by the way of St. Domingo and of England I announced to you the sailing from Point a Petre of the frigate La Cocarde, and its arrival at Dominica. It is to be attributed to the zeal and fidelity of Citizen Henry, and the officers employed under him, that they escaped from the tyranny of the Rebels. He had been, dispatched by the ,usurped au thority of that Island, to convey,..to France three citizens under the title of Coniuirss,a , rics,,,for the purpose, as they called it, of enligbgArtglk; gion of the First Consul." [The Letter then goes on to state, that the Com missaries only undertook that charge to escape more surely the tyranny of the rebels, and that Captain Henry had confirmed the reports of the amelioration of public opinion in that Colony, and the disunion which appeared to exist among the Chiefs of the insurreffion.] " Having determined to take possession of the Isle of Marie Galante, General SE RIZ I AT, at the head of a small detachment, entered the Island amidst the universal acclamation of the inhabitants, who expressed the greatest satisfaction at being delivared from the yoke of the rebels." AFRIL 29. The Consuls hare, by an Arrete, decreed that the Sittings of the Councils-General of the Depart_ meats, which had been fixed for the jth of May, shall not take place for the present year, nor till the 7.lst of April next. The Sittings of the Councils of bistrias is also prorogued in the same manner:. HAGUE ) APRIL zz.—On the 18th inst. a so lemn Tr Yerm was celebrated in the It onirin Catho !.,. lie Chapel belonging to the Fren'cb .:Leggtrnn, bn account of the conclusion of the Derinitiye'Treaty of Amiens, and the re-establishment of, Religious Worship. The Agents of France, as well as the French Officers of the Garrison, assisted at the Ce remony. We learn, that the English Government has sent orders to the Moluccas, to transport before the British Troops evacuate the Island, all the Seeds and Plants of Spices to 3 arnaica and Trinidad. Thus the Commerce of Spices, which we have hi. tberto enjoyed exclusirtly, and which las so ma- terially contributed to enrich Our Meranntsy we must now divide with another Nation. VIENNA, APRIL 1 5. --The greatest preparations are m 'king for the Diet at Presburg : the Deputa_ tion of the Kingdom, to invite His IMPERIAL MAJESTY in the accustomed form, is hourly ex peded. A Convention, dated the id of March, has been concluded with the Sublime Porte, by Which the Ottoman Government engages to proted against the attacks of the Barbary States, all vessels belonging to Subjects of HiS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, which shall be provided with a Turkish fkrman. AMSTERDAM, APRIL I 9 General Direc tion of the Posts in England, has concluded an ar rangement with ours, by which all the ancient re lations are re-established as before the war. BERNE, APRIL zo.—Travellers from the Western part of Switzerland, assure us that the people are full of joy at the new political changes, and that they have conceived the hest hopes at seeing the reins of Government in the hands of enlightened men, whose views are direded to the happiness of their Fellow_ Citizens, who are known to be devoid of all ambi aon and self-interest, and who will not substitute their will for that of the People. PLYMOUTH, MAY 1. His Majesty's Proclamation of Peace reached this ,place on Thursday morning, on which day novices were issued by the Mayor for a General Illumina tion on Friday evening. The different Corps of Volunteers were also ordered to assemble on the Parade at half past • nine o'clock in the morning, in consequence of which, the Plymouth (or Prince of Wales's).Y,olunteers, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel FIANI;K - E l l, the Plymouth Foot Association, comitatidea r bY'Major JOHN Cu LTA Major LANGMEAWS VOlunteers, and the Independ ent Corps of Rangers, commanded by Capt. Jo, LIAN, together with two Corps of Volunteers from Stonehouse, attended accordingly, and soon after ten o'clock, the Mayor, and principal Magis trates, with the Aldermen of the Borough, came on the Parade, when the popular tunes of " God Save the King," and " Rule Britannia," were played by the Bands of the South Deroli Regiment, and Plymouth Volunteers ; after which the Ailayor and Corporation, attended by the Town Clerk, proceeded to the Market Cross, followed by all the before_ mentioned Corps, where His Majesty's Proclama tion of Peace was read by the Town Clerk, with the solemnity due on the occasion ; after which, three huzzas followed from the Troops, and an immense crowd of speEtators: The Procession then moved to Frankfort Gate ; from thence to the 0;d Tree, and then returned to the Parade ; at each of which places the Proclamation was read, and similar clamations succeeded. At the latter place, the Mayor and Corporation took leave of the Troops, after the former had, in the most handsome manner, waited on each of the Commanders of the respedive Corps, and thanked them for the honour conferred by the attendance and soldierlike behaviour and condua of the Troops, during the day.—The Troops fired three vollies on the Parade, and were then marched, to the Glacis of the Citadel, where a discharge of 21 rounds from two z z-pounder field-pieces at tached to Lieutenant Colonel Hawker's Corps, took place, after which the different Companies fired three vollies each, and a feit.de-jo j e closed the grand arid beautiful scene. Each Corps was then ordered to farm a circle, when a Letter from the Lord Lieutenant of the County was read, together with the Vote of Thanks of the House ofComm on sl . for their services : the respeftive Com man di ng Officers then returned thanks to etie Troops under their Commanf!, in neat and appropriate speeches, for the steadiness and firm attachment they had ma. nifested to their King And Country, during a period of unparalleled dangerxridAiftioulty, as well as for their obedience and, order i ly w c . oncluft, during the periods of being under their immediate command. Each Corps then received 'orders to return their Arms to the general dep&t in the Citadel. In the evening a very grand and general Illumi_ nation took place, and the whole fortunately ter. minated without any accident occurring, CORN EXCHANCE, May 3. THIS day our Market had a large importation of English Wheat, with a few foreign arrivals, which caused a fall of five shillings per quarter since last Monday ; of Oats we had a full supply, but the demand being brisk, they keep their prices, and inferior sorts are very low ; Barley and Malt but . little variation ; Flour nearly as before.

His Swedish Ma. jesty :alMost alone resisted the claims which F.arg land ad'vanced, to the prejudice' of the Northern Convention. Convinced oldie justice of their claims . , with regard to the losses sustained by the late War, and of the rights of the Swedish Flag, His Mjes, ty, notwithstanding the defection of other Powers, and notwithstanding the examples set before him, delayed giving his consent to the Convention cones , eluded at St. Petersburgb, on the i7th 61`.func i r tBot, in the hope that a change of circumslances might enable him to obtain more advantageous sti.. pulations for the Commerce of the Northern Powers, in the tine of War. His chief prosped of securing this objed, was . direded -to the Negotiations about a General Peace, which was then in agitation. His Majesty did not fail, on his side, to ropose that the rights of Neutrality should be. considcrcd.and secured in the General Peace; but as a great variety of. interests came to be discussed Between the trading Parties, and as many delicate point` re quired to be adjusted, with regard to these right ,, by. which means the freaty might, have been delayed, and nave missed its objed, His Mitjesty saw that it could no }anger be of anv ftivantage to remain in. a state which was . considered by England as merely a Cessation of Arms, although he lad shewn extremely anxious in the accessioo of `,..ccjytt to the Convention, as far as possible,tO Tetrk•dy the evils which had come to pass, and to establish a giod understanding between the Courts.. With this view His Majesty, in the beginning of February, sent full powers to His Majesty's Am.._ 6assador at Petersburgh, to conclude a Treaty of Peace, as well with the Court of Russia, as with the English Ambassador, Lord 'ST. HELENS, which was done accordingly. This day His Majesty has been graciously pleased to sign the Ratification of the Treaty concluded with Lord ST. HE L ENS, and it is now sent off by the jerramas Frigate to London, to be there exchanged. That concludt4 :, With the ,Russian Court will also presently the same sanCtion, and will then he transmitted: to Paersburgh. As soon as the Ratifications shall have been c%i:, - changed at London, the Jerramas Frigate will rail to the Island of St. Barthelemy; .to convey to the English Commandant, the orders of the British Government for the restoration of that Island to the Swedish Government. Thus is gocid understand ing between the two CoUrt completely re-establised. CONS TANTINOPLE, MAR.cn 27.

IT is now known with certainty that the French Government has ordered the preparations for.ereCt ing Fortresse on the Lower Rhine to be di,con-• firmed. Several persons who had been ii u t under alle§tfor having sold prohibited wares, have been set liberty since the Ratification of the Treaty. 1 There is to be a-clause•in the new Lottery ACI, to authorise the Commissioners of Stamps to•detain at their Office any prize -ticket above tool. value, until the share issued therefrom - is paid to the owner, provided the detainer is lodged at the Stamp-Office. within fourteen days after the ticket shall be drawn. This long-wanted excellent - regu lation will secure to the adventurers in shares the benefits of their success in capital prizes, and make all Licensed Offices equally safe to deal at, which they have-not been hitherto. There will also be a clause to prevent the• receipts -given at the Stamp Office for the tickets, from being pawned or. trans.: ferred, so : that if the Office-keeper fails, his as. signees cannot have any interest in the . prizes, but they must be paid to the holders of the shares.
