Rouen, on Tuesday, web made the scene of riot.
Between 1,600 and 2,0110 of the people employed in
the government workshops, men, women, and children,
paraded the town, beating drums and singing the
Marsellaise, and, proceeding to the prison of the Bi-
c#tre, forced the gates and set at liberty several of the
persons confined there, and among them Blanchard,
who was committed for having contributed to the
burning of the railroad bridge. Two or three citizens,
who attempted to remonstrate with the rioters, were
ill-treated, but without any serious consequences to
them. The government commissary, as soon as he
was informed of what was going on, published an
energetic proclamation, exhorting the people to for-
bear from disturbing the public peace. Thia procla-
mation, from its mild but firm and judicious terms,
produced the desired effect, and the next day
Blanchard again surrendered himself to prison.

The Madrid mails of the 25th have arrived. On
the 24th the Queen, while promenading at the Prado,
was nearly upset from hef carriage. She jumped
lightly out, and was not hurt. There were rumours
concerning the arrest of some members of a club, in-
cluding an Irish priest. It was intended, it was said,
to have got up a republican movement in the capital
itself.

GUERNSEY.

ALTERATION OF THE CURRENCY IN
GUERNSEY.

By the arrival at Sautharepton of the Courier mail-
packet last evening, we leery that an ordinance wax issued
from the Royal Court, at Guernsey, on the 29th instant,
stating that, in consequence of recent events in France
having a tendency to cause to disappear the French coin,
which has legal circulation in the island, English gold and
ilver coins, aa well SI notes of the Bank of England, shall
have legal currency in Guernsey, concurrently with French
coins, and that the English pound sterling shall be valued at
11. A. 3d., Guernsey currency. until further orders. Thus
the premium on English money is fixed at 61 per cent.
In anticipation of the above ordinance, the two banks of
Guernsey have imported a large sum of English money, to
prevent any deficiency inthemetalliccircalation of the ialand.
The Courier also brought intelligence that accounts had
reached Jersey, via St. Melo, that disturbances had
broken out in La Vendee, by partisans of the fluke of
Bordeaux ; that the Jersey barracks were about to be pre-
pared for government purposes ; and that the Admiralty
had ordered a constant communication to be kept up between
Jersey and Alderney.

MADRID, Mallen 24.
If Narvaez aims at establishing a dictatorship, there is
little doubt he will be hurled into exile, as he was two years
ago. He played pretty much the same game then as now :
he quarrelled with the party of Mon and Fidel, and setting
himself up for dictator, he was turned out of Spain for his
pains, and the ministry of the marriages came in. Singu-
larly enough the gambling system of time bargains in stock
was then, as now, at the bottom of the explosion. Rittman
had lost immensely by the fall, to the great disgust of
Christina, who bade Narmez abolish a scandal which ate
such holes in her hoard. The general, who then had the
gaining-itch strong upon him, and went hand and glove
with Munoz, paused ; the decree of his dismissal, with orders
to quit Madrid in 24 hours was the consequence of his dis-
puting the sovereign will of Queen Mother.
In the present instance the circumstances are slightly
varied. In the first place, Riannares is said to have won
considerably; his near relations with the Duke of Olucks-
berg enabled him to catch the first hints of change from
France. Secondly, Nervier has not played—l speak ad-
visedly on this subject. Vilches on whom sales in the
Bohm of the 26th, some founded ;his supposition, (Vetches
having been formerly employed by Narrate on the Bola)
has long ,eased to transact stock business for the Duke of
Valencia, and is now, I have been informed, the
agent of the Duke of Glucksberg on the Bourne.
a Thirdly, the pp arty of Mon and Fidel have no longer
the fame credit with the country which they then
enjoyed; nor can they now hope to be the only conser-
vative party in Europe who stand their ground. Telegraphic
despatches announced yesterday the revolutionary outbreak
in Vienna and the fall of Metternich.
All parties here are in the dark with regard to Nervaes's
intentions. lam assured that advances have been made by
the first minister to an eminent liberal, who, if he came in,
would replace Bravo Murillo.
The Faro is quite silent and passive, neither confirming
nor contradicting the emphatic assertions of the ministerial
papers that the Cortes had been suspended with the concur.
rence of the majority. Meanwhile its article of yesterday on
the scandals of the Bolais interpreted m a symptom of hoe-
tility to the government.

AMERICAN NEWS.— As we predicted yesterday,
the high-priced journals announce this morning, and, with
one exception, for the fiat time, the ratification of the
Mexican treaty by the senate of the United States, which
appeased in a third edition of the Daily News of
Wednesday, and alas in the Express of the
same evening. The exception to which we allude is the
Morning Herald, which paper communicated this important
intelligence to its readers in a fourth edition yesterday, just
twenty-six hours after it had been published in the Daily
News. We subjoin, from the Ness York Enquirer, the very
message from which our Boston correspondent derived the
in'ormation which he transmitted to us by the Ocean
Monarch :

(By Magnet* Telegraph.)
TREATY CONFIRMED.
WASHINGTON, March 10, 91 p.m.
The Senate adjourned at • quarter-past nine this
evening.
The treaty has been ratified by a vote of 58 to Li.
The injunction of secrecy has not been removed.
FINE ARTS AT HAMPSTEAD. —The Hampstead
Assembly Room vets hung on Wednesday evening last with
• very large collection of drawings made by the Sketching
Club—and a more interesting exhibition has seldom of late
years been put together by societies of much longer standing
than the little healthy suburban off-shoot. located at Hamp-
stead. The chief contributor was Mr. Clarkson Stanfield,
who has recently taken up bin residence in the neighbour-
hood which poor Constable was always painting and talking
about ; and never to Our thinking was he seen to greater or
more varied advantage. Among at least fivesind-twenty
water colour sketches from the same prolific pencil,
"A Moonlight," " A Calm," and " The Temptation
en the Mount," were the moat deservedly
.admired. The
effect in " The Moonlight," though slight, is so admirably
poetic that the strictest lover of finish would he wrong to
wish for a single addition to it. " The Calm," though
equally alight, was nearly as effective, while " The Tempta-
tion " wu distinguished by a classic character and Martin-
like range of distance, totally different from Mr. Stanfield's
ordinary manner. After Mr. Stanfield, the next in merit
was Mr. Leslie, whose chief work was • young and pretty
mother about to place her first born in a tub of water. A
sweeter domestic group was seldom seen—classic in every-
, thing but its tub and pitcher. We recollect it, and would
describe it as something between a Stothard and a Flaxman.
Another work by the same artist wee a finished picture of a
young mother and her eon. The mother's face is seen in
profile, and is a graceful adaptation from more than one
early master of the Italian schooL The son's fate is drawn
in full, and is too large, not for nature and the figure of the
boy, but for the size of the mother's face, which looks some-
what babyish by. its side. The picture is to be engraved,
but we are not singular inthinking that the sketch would
make a better work of art both for the easel and the graver.
We may add, what we were glad to hear, that Mr. Stan-
field has received a commission from Mr. Gibbons to paint
" The Moonlight " in large said in oils.
IRISH INVASION.—The Swansea lieraldsays : "On
Friday, upwards of 200 of the " finist pisanthry " wive
landed on Penarth beach, from the ship Fortitude, of Cork,
from whence they straightway marched to Cardiff—men,
women, and children, forming an almost indescribable mass
of impudence, beggary, and wretchedness, essentially Irish
in every feature. As a matter of course they demanded to
be fed, lodged, and taken care of by the ratepayers, and tie
officials were busily employed In endeavouring to meet all
wants of the delectable multitude, who it is stated appeared
to have very slight notions of decency. Upon several of the
party who applied for relief were found sums of money,
although they protested they were totally destitute. One
cunning reseal had 12s. 6d. in his pockets when, with a
whine of well-feigned distress, he made his application.
Ultimately nearly the whole party were lodged in the old
workhouse ; but when they discovered they were to be re-
turned les the " euld counthry," several of the men made
their escape by sealing the walls, leaving wives and children
to fare as they might. They have since been returned by
one of the Irish staamen to their own land. Brief at the
stay was at Cardiff the expense to the union hu been about
