moan were spread that disorders had broken out in
Paris in connexion with the reform baseless, a panic
fell on the mass, and prices immediately fell two
per cent.
An eatafette came in at 11 a.m., for the French em-
bassy, in 36 hours from Bayonne.
The inauspicious reports are supposed to have
leaked from thence.
A letter, dated Madrid, 26th ult., says : " Telegra-
phic despatches from Paris of the 21st, 22nd, and
23rd, announce that some disorders have prevailed
;here, but that the laws have been rigorously enforced.
The opposition here have doubtless exaggerated the
news; nevertheless, a decline of the funds has taken
place in consequence."

A letter from Milan, of the 22d ult., quoted by the
Italia of Pisa, says :—" Alter having promulgated the
police-law, the government is making an imposing dis-
play of armed force. At every point are sentinels with
their muskets ready loaded to fire, and cannon planted.
The streets are deserted, the shops closed, all business
stopped,and grief and rage are painted in every coun-
tenance. This sad state of things cannot last long. Cir-
renters have beea sent to all the clergy, rendering
them responsible for all that may ensue from sounding
the tocsin."

Letters from Malta inform us of the arrival of
Mehemet Ali, in a French steamer, from Alexandria.
His highness was received with the usual honour.
His visit to Malta was for the benefit of
his health, which, we are glad to say, had
improved at the date of our correspondent's eommu-
' niustion. The Mary and Jane had been loat on her
voyage from Messina to Malta, on the sot coast of
Sicily.
By the Levant mail we have received advises from
Constantinople to the 17th, with news of the ratifica-
tion of the treaty between Turkey and Persia. Great
praise is given to M. Titoff, the Russian minister at
the Porte, for the share he has had in bringing
this negotiation to a conclusion. A charge of smug-
gling, made against the foreign consuls in some of the
Turkish ports, had produced some sensation.
The cholera had not absolutely disappeared, but
was quite disregarded.

We have Sydney papers to the 10th of November;
Maitland to the 7th ; Port Phillip to the 20th of Oc-
tober; and Hobart Town to the 28th. The intelligence
they bring is not of much novelty. The feeling in
Van Diemen 's Land against the government proposal
for transferring thither the penal settlement and con-
victs from Sydney, was in a state of increasing excite-
ment. A public meeting had".been held, at which the
proposition was reprobated in the most unmeasured
terms; and petitions, founded on res lutiona passed in
that sense, were adopted, one to her Majesty, and
another to the Lieutenant Governor, requesting him
to suspend the execution of the measure until further
orders could be received from England.

ARRIVAL OF THE EX-KING AND
QUEEN OF THE FRENCH AT
CROYDON.

At twelve o'clock this day several carriages were 1
in waiting at the Croydon station, as also the direc •
tors of the railway company. At a quarter past
twelve the train, containing Louisl'hilippe and Queen
Amelie arrived. The king was handed out by his
sons, whom he embraced ; he then embraced the
Duchess de Nemours. The scene was affecting.
The royal party retired to the ladies' waiting-mom,
and shortly after drove off to Claremont. His
Maj; sty was dressed in a grey surtout. The Queen
seemed care-worn, but had an expression of thank-
fulness fur her happy escape. The station was I
crowded, end though there was an evident feeling of
commiseration for the royal exiles, there was no out-
ward demonstration of applause.

A telegraphic dispatch reached us this morning,
announcing the arrival of the Duchess of Orleans,
with her two children, at Portsmouth, by the Cuckoo
steamer, from Jer.ey. Some of our contemporaries
state the arrival to have been that of the Dachas de
Nemours and family.
