PARIS, WIDNISDAT EVSNIXO.

M. Doan, the Minister of Marine, who, as you
are aware, had long been seriously ill, died at eleven
o'clock last night. He was a very able man, and it
is aniversally acknowledged that the French navy,
in every department of the service, has been im-
mensely improved under his administration. I uo-

. .
derstand that in the course of the day Madame
I)ucos has received a telegraphic despatch from
Windsor, expressive of the Emperor's deep condo-
lenoe with her loss.
It is rumoured that Admiral Hamelin will be the
new Minister of Marine.

of War, who has atwompanied the Emperor and

Empress to England, the

off in the Eleventh ward. The Hut paraded with
a loaded cannon, bidding defiant), •to their adver-
wise. They were speedily attacked, their field-

It was reported that three foreigners had
CLeesk7l:d.. One American wee so severely wounded
that for a long time his life was despaired of. In the
evening. the Americans formed in procession, with
loaded cannon, and paraded the streets ; and it was
feared that daring the night the riot would be renewed
with increased fury.
It was supposed that five hundred recruits for
Oreat Britain had been raised in Philadelphia. Oa
Wednesday fifteen were arrested in that city just as
they were leaving on board a steamboat for New
York. An examination into the facts of the case took
place on the 31st ult. About fifty passengers left
Boston on the 72111, on board a brig bound for Hali-
fax. It was generally believed that they were re-
cruits from New York for the British army, but the
agent of the vessel affirmed that they were engaged
as railroad labourers.

A terrible affray took place at the St. Charles Hotel,'
New Orleans, on the 20th nit. between two men
named Harrison and Duffy. The latter au shot
dead by Harrison, and in the melee a ball from Duffy's
pistol killed Dr. Parsons, a bystander. Harrison,
immediately atter the conflict, surrendered human to
the authorities.
Accounts had arrived of the burning of the steamer
Bulle'io, on the 31st ult., below Lake Providence.
Twenty-tares of the passengers and crow are missing,
among the former Mr. J. B. Williams, of this oily.
The vessel and °ergo, consisting of 3.600 bales of
cotton, are a total loss. The steamer Huntsville hss
also been destroy ed by fire. She hid on board 4,000
bales of cotton.

The celebrated race-horse Lexington won the
20,000 dollars match
.against time, at New Orleans.
He ran a tour-sale race in seven minutes and nine-
teen monde, the quickest time (says the New York
Sun) ever mad. by horseflesh.
liavannah dates are to the 28th ult. Ramon
Pinto, chief of the conspirators, suffered death by the
garotte on the 22nd. He protested his innocence to
the last. Cadalso and Panelo, It was supposed,
would be sentenced to ten years in the chain gang
in Africa. There is no other political sews of im-
portance. Reports of great distress in all parts of
the island, owing to the long-continued drought,
were prevalent, and basinees generally was extremely
dull.

It is stated that the American Consul had notified
the Captain-General, by direction of Secretary Marcy,
" that if one drop of American blo^d is spilled in
the present crisis the government of the United
States will not be answerable for the result." Fran-
cisco Estrampes, under sentence of death, is an Ame-
rican citizen, and it remains to be seen whether
General Concha will commute his punishment or ac-
cept the alternative presented. Arrests continue to
be made. Castillo and Acne, cashier and real estate
broker of the savings bank; F. V. Herrera, two bro.
tners Bolino, Senor Aregon, two priests from the
country, and some flit, others, have been imprisoned
on suspicion of political disaffection. Meantime vic-
tims are suffering by the garotte in various parts of
the island.

The steam•sbip Star of the West arrived at New ,
York on the 3ra inst. The events of the week do not
show anything of an important character. Theses-
perided banks had not resumed, and it was not known
definitely whether any of them would be enabled to
commence operations again very soon. Adams and
Co. bad almost entirely disappeared, and their place
in the express busioesa had been supplied by another
company. A number of mercantile houses had failed
since the last news; among which were the houses
of Chapin, Sawyer and Co., S. B. Conrey, David
Green, and J. P. Davis. A mob had broken into the
vaults of Adams aid Co., at Senora, and distributed
about 27.000 dollars to the holders of certificates of
deposit on that concern. Rain continued, and the
prospects of the miners were every way encouraging.
The excitement about the Kern River Mines was
still kept up, and large numbers of emigrants were
flocking to them.
From Mexico it was learnt that Santa Anna had
return ned to the capital, where the illusion of his sup-
posed victories over Alvarez was celebrated with
salvos of artillery, and other demonstrations of joy.
The Diurio asserts that the revolution is daily losing
ground.
