MEXICO.

Advices received at New York from the City of
Mexico to the 18th September, vi 4 New Orleans,
anuounoe that the Emperor Maximilian had pub-
licly adopted Augustine Sturbide as heir to the
Mexican throne.

ALGERIA.

MARSEILLES. Nov.

Advices received here from Algiers state 'that an
official despatch had been published in that city,
announcing that upon the French columns approach-
ing the forces of Si Lift and the other insurgent
contingents, the latter retreated by forced marches
in a southerly direction. The Arab goums, under
General Lacretelle, supported by the French ca-
valry, overtook the enemy on the morning of the
27th ult., and carried off numerous flocks belonging
to the Himian tribes, who recently joined, the in-
surgents. _ _

AUSTRIA AND ITALY.

VIENNA, Nov. 6, EviocurG:

The Abendpost (evening edition of the official
Wiener Zeitung) publishes an article characterising
as a threat against Austria the statement made
by Signor Sella in his recent speech be
fore his constituents, to the effect that
the Venetian question was merely a finan-
cial one, the solution of which only depended upon
the regulation of Italian finance. The article con-
chides as follows :—" So long as members of the
Italian government presume to address Austria in
this manner, it is necessary to remain silent upon
the possibility of coming to some agreement."

PARIS. NOMA! L►vnmto.
The Progres de r Oise announces that arrangements
have been made for the Emperor's reception at ,
Compiegne on the 12th. This is not incompatible
with the totally unlooked-for news in the Moniteur
du Moir that his Majesty left St. Cloud this morn-
jag tor the Princess Baciocchi's Cornerbotiet estate
itt Morbihan, hi Brittany, to be present at an agri-
I dill:Ural meeting to be held there, It is also pos-
-1 Able, and more than probable, that he will
rhturn to Paris for the marriage of the Prin-
i4es Anna Murat with the Duke de Monoby,
which is to be solemnised at the chapel of
I the Tuileries on the 10th. The • Patric

says the Emperor will be b►ck in Paris to-morrow
evening, but this seems to me too forced a =rob
for so long a journey, even with special Vains•
However, the Pays announces that he will preside
at a counsel of ministers, at St. Cloud, on the

Bth.
M. Larrabure bas been elected a member of the
Beam rysitortes, by *0,950 votes against 6,977,
given to %wale, the oppositisin candidate. I
led you to expect this result. M. Larrabure is
one of the best class of government candidates ;
by which I mean that he is not a courtier or
functionary foisted upon a constituency, but
a man of personal influence and great
respectability in the department, who, it may be,
in return for some slight ooneeseions is adopted by
government because of the hopelessness of return-
ing a mare nominee. He was a deputy for the de-
partment both in the time of Louis Philippe and
the Republic of 1848. His speeches and votes in the
Corps Legislatif show that he is a man who, while
supporting the empire as an institution, thinks for
himself. There is no doubt that he would have
been elected in spite of all that the opposition could
do against him, and it is lamentable to think that
the prefect and his subordinates should have re-
sorted to the unnecessary as well as illegal measures
of which M. Bsrthe, his opponent, complains. M.
Chesnelong, the government candidate in the 2ud
circumscription of the same department,vacated by
M. Larrabure, whom it was wished to get in for
the Pau district, has also been returned ; his ma-
jority is 19,460 against 6,405 polled by M. La Cane.
The Debate represents it as something serious,
novel, and extraordinary that the Gironde of Bor.
deaux ebould have been "invited" by the prefect to
be silent about the Larrabure election. But the
Gazette de France says very truly that such private
warnings have been constantly practised by go-
vernment M. BiUault particularly shrunk from
the odium of frequent public interference with
newspapers, and made great use of the " black
man,'' an institution with which your readers
must be familiar. The Gazette testifies that
it sometimes received a visit from the
"black man" every day in the week. The common
form of his injunction was :—"The minister would
be very glad if you would say nothing about such
or such a thing." When such an intimation was
given, the editor considered what warnings were
scored up against him, passed his staff in review,
and held his tongue for dear We. The proceeding
was no doubt extra-legal, bat it was effectual, and
in some sort benevolent. The power which could
destroy was kind enough to say :—" Refrain from
this or that and I will not destroy you." Such
doings by which the Debate professes to be shocked
are merely consequent upon the great fact that in
France the press is out of the pale of the law.
Everybody in France knows this, although M. de
Peraigny some time ago contrived to throw dust in
the eyes of some people in England.
At the Bourse the Rente was very buoyant, but
other securities were heavy ; the closing prices
were 68fr. 25c. foe cash, and 68fr. 121jc. for ac-
count, with • rise of 20c. and 15c.

ARRIVAL OF THE CRUISER SHENANDOAH
AND HER SURRENDER IN THE MERSEY.

LIVERPOOL, MoNDAr.

The career of the cruiser Shenandoah has at last
come to se end. There was little or no excitement noose-
quint on her arrival here today. It was known early in the
morning that a large screw steamer was at anchor outride
the bar, waiting for water to bring her over, and that she
was a Contedevate cruiser was evident from her flying the
Confederate ensign. The Shenandoah (formerly the steamer
Sea Wog) is certainly a fine specimen of navel architecture,
and as she steamed up the Mersey looked exceedingly
well. Her hull in long, finely moulded, and painted
black, and am she is ship rigged and rather heavily
spanned, her whole appearance is that of a fast and
good sea-hoer. She had no pins on deck—all her
armament befog stowed away below in boxes. She
lies anchored close to her Majesty's ship Donegal, and we
believe we are correct in stating that she will be in posses-
} sion of the 'overcommit °Menlo—indeed, some Customs
officers are now on board—and that as soon as matters are
I arranged the will be heeded over to the United States
government. She has been aliened up to Captain Peyote;
of her Majesty's ship Donegal, and ie now in possession of
some of the crew of the Donegal and a posse of Customs
officers. The crew of the Shenandoah numbered 133 men
all told, end, es soon as she was surrendered, Captain
Waddell, together with some of the officer., separated.
Since setting out on her work of destruction the Shenaa-
doah has destroyed 37 vessels, the majority of which
were whams, and these were destroyed after the cessation
of hostilities. Te show how the operations of the Shenan-
doah ideated the sperm oil market, we may state that her
depredations ameept the whaling fleets has caused sperm
oil to run up from 701. to 1201. per tun, mad it is likely to
advance still further, as until the Dews of the surrender of
the Shenandoah is known in the ports from whence whalers
r depart, the Arctic seas will certainly be bare of the custo-
mary motet of whaling vessels.
Our readers will remember that remora menthe since we
stated that the steamer Laurel sailed from Liverpool for
liodine with arms for the Shenandoah. Though this Meta-
meat was reapply contradicted by the owner of the
Laurel, yet is a very few weeks afterwards the homeward
West Aintree mail steamer soon confirmed the statement,
for while lying at Modine the Laurel and the Shenandoah
met, and the cargo of the former vemel was transferred to
the latter, and the cruiser commeeeed work.

LIOIIII/CO-UP OF 11111 GUILDHALL—Last night
whet is milled the lighting-up of the Guildhall, pre-
paratory to the festivities of Lord Mayor's Day, took
place sa usual, the ancient hall being visited by several
hundreds of the citizens, who were admitted by ticket
upon the missies. The hell with its new roof end other
restorations presented a striking appearance. The lightieg
was carried out in a very satisfactory meaner. For this
purpose sixteen paeliers pedant from the ceiling, sight
on each side, ere employed. These have been prepared
from designs by the City Architect. They are very
elegantly and elaborately decorated with the City arms
and motto, and enamelled and lacquered, each use being
lighted with two rows of gas. There will be also • large
sun-light is the metre of the roof for the purpose of vend-
latioo. Berne of the mosumenta have changed places
within the lest few mouths, and the whole of them have
ban lowered a few feet. In the enures of the seeming the
Lord Mayer elect, Mr. Alderman Phillip, witbMr. Deputy
Reed, the chairman, Mr. Kildoe, the secretary, end the
members of the entertainment committee, attended the
ball and impacted the arrangements, which appear to be
going on most satisfactorily.
