non has given rise to almost as much excitement as the hi.- I
tory of her crime did upon the occasion of. her trial." It
seems that the matrimony-agent through whom she was
introduced to her unfortunate husband, instead of shrinking
abashed from the notoriety which the ill-snorted union
lumen open him, boasts of it to this very hour; and his
advertinments are lengthened by his efforts to bring it tothe
public memory. Moreover, on Tuesday last, there appeared
m all the Paris papers an announcement from a rival
establishment (that of Madame St. Marc) setting forth that
sh. has to dispose of " a young Region orphan, heirs-,to a
splendid fortune'"

ANCONA.—By • government despatch received
Jaa.l9 front Rome, all e barkation of wheat or Indian corn
is suspended in this Porto Franco. The merchants bad an
interview this morning with the pro-delegate, and also with
the consul, upon this illegal and most arbitrary measure.
The pro-delegate said that the neighbouring cities of Oeimo
and Jesi, from which Ancona principally draws its supplies,
having refused any longer to permit grain to leave the town,
he was compelled to provide for the wants of the inhabitants
out of the Porto Prince); and until the quantity auSfient
for their consumption till neat harvest was secured, the pro-
hibition would remain. His orders, he said, were impels.
tire, and for the present he could nut allow even commenced
cargoes to be completed. Hopes arc entertained that the
new delegate will remedy this serious evil. He is expected
here in a day or two; in the meantime meetings of the mew.
chants and of the Chamber of Commerce have taken place,
and strong remonstrances will be sent to Rome by both
bodies against this unexpected violation of our Porto Franca.

former minister, Coent Arnim, is named as the

hut it seems that its general duty will be merely halo-
rative, and that its votes will be demanded only on weds
occasions, such as the granting of loans and taxes. The
orders of aristocracy, citizens and countrymen, will be repro.
tented in the Chamber, so that the latter two orders will
about balance the former one. Though the extension of
municipal privileges is slight, yet it will he hailed with
as a first step toward a Prussian constitution. A
master is to be chosen for the order of St. John, in the those
of the late Prince Henry. Whether this office will be salaried
or not, remains uncertain.—Aligestrine Zeitung.
The prisons of Berlin are so crowded, says a
Frankfort journal, that the central prison, °simulated ler the
confinement of 500, has 600 in it ; and it has became seem-
sary to appropriate part of the debtors' prison to the limersee-
ration of criminals. The present number of police-odkom is
found insufficient for the maintenance of order in the

of
1,400 men.
The news of the advance of Austrian troops to
the frontier of the canton of Tessin seems to be com-
bated. A letter from Tessin, of the 22d, announces the

troops are likewise to be concentrated on the Sardinian fron-
tier. Austria has shown great dissatisfaction at the pam-
phlets published on Italy. Any prohibited work is not al-
lowed to pass through the country. Austria seems sedan-
touring to extend her protectorate over the minor Mates of
Italy, but her efforts will be fruitless, as prohibited bath
always manage to find their way in.

According to the Bocrsen-halle. of 23rd Jan., the
Emperor of Russia has signified his displeasure to the nobles
of the provinces of the Baltic, for having raised complaints
against the infringements made on their privileges, their re-
ligion, and their nationality. He signified to them that

duty to obey unconditionally the orders of their lovereige.
At the same time the emperor enumerated the many admit-
tages he had accorded to the Baltic provinces, especially to
the nobles. He concluded by requesting them to turn •

MEXICO.—LATEST FROM TAMPIOO.—The Lirer-
pool Journal is indebted to a mercantile house for the fol-
lowing extract of a private letter, dated " Tampico, Dec. 14,
1846,—Y0l hare already been advised of our communica-
tion with the interior being limited to mercantile corres-
pondence, entrusted to private cionve once, PO that beyond
floating reports, to which inch individual gives hia own pro-
portion of credence, we are in perfect ignorance of the mili-
tary morem•nts of the Mexicans ; it in, however, whispered
that a forces being collected to attack the present garrison

The Americans have cortainly invited attack by their fool-
hardy occupation of thin place with a force of 1,000 men, the,
approaelien to which would rt quire at haat three times that
number to defend it against a vigilant or well-organinvd ene-
my. As, however, these arc s irtue. in which the Mexicans are
eminently deficient, it in to be hoped, for the security of the
town and its peaceful inhabitants, that no demonstration
will he made against it before the garrison has been suffi-
ciently reinforced. In the meantime we are inundated with
cargoes of provisions of all sorts, and manta in currently re-

tailing at sixpence per era. Cheap bread has swamped the
place of the corn-cake. The spirit shops will be 'closed to-
morrow sgaiest the issue of spirits, and find it already
impo.sible to compete in the sale of comestibles, and with the
swarms of pedlars who have opened their retail shop.. Ge-

the dulnees and fitful nervousness consequent on sweeping
revolution and an ignorance of the future. A small amount
of American tr, saucy bills has been plead at par; the
parties would have sold at 20a. discount, but the agent of
Rothsclaid gave the exchange indicated."
