M. Dupin, as you may have seen by the Moniteur,
was received yesterday by the Emperor to take the
oath on hie appointment to the office of Imperial

Procureur-General to the Court of Caseation. His
Majesty congratulated him on his return to the par-
quet (an expreuion signifying the office of any law
officer of the crown), and lam told that U. Dupin
answered in these words :—Sire, quand on a ea
thonneur d'etre lnagistrat, on desire mourir dons la
magistrature (Sire, when a man has had the honour
of being a magistrate, he desires to die in the
magistracy). It is said that H. Dupin, although
75 years old, is perfectly tit for work. He comes
of a long-lived family. His father, an honest vine
cultivator at Clamecy, lived to the age of 92, and
his mother died at 86.
The

that the Congress of Paris
would meet to-day, to exchange the ratifications of
the treaty for the settlement of the Bosearabian
frontier, although made by the two government
Journals, the Pays and Constitutionnel, WAS prema-
ture. There has been no meeting to-day.
A despatch from Tiflis contains the following in-
telligence :
Coo►tantine Dedlech-kilien, the reigning Prince of Sown-
Iselin was lately sent for to Tiflis, and there learnt that he
was to be kept a prisoner at Koutais. On being informed by
Prince Gawks, the Governor-Oencrel, that he would not be
allowed to retorn to his own reentry, he stabbed the Gover-
nor-General with a ;oinked (whether mortally or not does not
appear), killed three other persona, and then took to flight.
lie was finally mods prisoner, after a &operate resistance,
by some troops Not in pursuit of him.

I learn that the IndFpendanre was mistaken in
saying that a French allacht, had been sent to Jassy
with fresh instructions for Baron Talleyrand.
It is confirmed that Mexico definitively accepts
the arbitration of Franco in tho difference with
Spain, but on condition that previous to the opening
of negotiations M. Lafragua shall be received at
Madrid.

The news that the Bank of France had lowered
its discount I per cent. was not known at the Bourse
to-day till ten minutes to two o'clock. Its effect
upon the market had been in great measure dis-
counted yesterday and this morning. The ltente
opened for account at 67fr. 40e., but closed at
67fr. 30c., in consequence of realisations, the rise
from yesterday being but 13c. For cash there was
a rise of 20e. Mobilier roso 3fr. 730. Railways
were from 3fr. to 10fr. higher.

Dr. Livingstone teas to have embarked for
Portugal yeetaiday at Southampton in the Peninsular
mail packet. The last advioes from Lisbon, however, coavey
so fearful a rearesentation of the ravages of the epidemic
there that the Doctor has thought right to postpone his visit
to that capital.

Statham on " our Indian Empire," the Earl of Shaftesbury,
who presided, made a few remark.. on the present position of
affairs in India. He thought there had been an undue
reserve in making known the atrocities committed by the

TIIE AMERICAN PANIP As VIEWED IN ENGLAND.

English shore. That event took place in due time ; —but
the direful results have not followed. In fact, John hull

The Bank of England did not suspend, Consols did not de-
dine, and the imperturbable Britisher, coolly proceeded to
bay up our railroad stocks and bonds, at the ridiculously
low figure to which our ridiculous panic had reduced them.
This may be a little acne) ing to our overweening vanity.

ANOTHER FILIttEsTERING EXPEDITION TO NI-
CIAA G telegram from New Orleans informs ILI that
General William Walker ha. started for Nicaragua. He
appears to have effected his departure in a calm, orderly,
and business-like way. The General himself, with
his staff and three hundred men, left on Wednesday
afternoon, in the ostensibly for Mobile.
He had, however,
for
an excellent plan, and
wee under no fens for is interruption. Ae coon as the boat
reached Mobile Bay, Walker and hie men were transacted
hi • steamer in waiting and already supplied with arms and
ammunition. The Filibuster steamer immediately took her
departure, and moat people—government officials always ex-
cepted—semis that her dmtination Nicaragua. On the
morning of the mine day that Walker left New Orleans, the
steamer Fashion, heavily laden with arms, ammunition,
and sondem, got away from tbo Anne port. BS
too, cleared for Mobile, and, with all proper submission to
the law, she allowed Smell to be searched by a United
States Marshal. No contraband goods were discovered--si
Mini( rifles, mortars, powder, shot, or other implement•
war. No suspicions-looking characters were noticed
en board, though the Fashion did actually easy
away a large body of Wilker's recruits. Some
persons Imagine that the Fashion has gone for the
Texas Regiment, which, together with the force under
Walker's immediate otminand will, we spree, foes
the advance-guard of the army of Invasion. The
rest will follow under the guidance of General
Henningsen and Captain 1./AMYX. Walker is now
fairly beyond the reach of interference from United States au-
thorities, and we may expect to bear, within a month's tins
of the recommencement of hostilities in Central America.

CONFLICT BETWEEN THE MORR•ONB
AND THE UNITED STATES 00rBENEENT.

(From the New York Herald of Nov. 14.)

A few days since it was reported from the Wed
that the Mormons among the Rocky Mountains had cap
Wed the advanced provision trains of seventy-eight waggons
belonging to the United States army corps en route for the
Great Salt Lake. A special correspondent at Wsahington
now informs na that the President has received official con-
firmation of this intelligence through a despatch from
Judge Echols (appointed for Utah as the new Chief Jus-
tice of that territory, and accompanying the army
corps) dated at the army camp on the Sweet Water, twenty-
cos miles east of the South Pam From this despatch se
kern that three governmenkYraina, numbering in all seventy.

. - . .
eight waggons, together with their content', had been cep-
tured and appropriated by the Mormons without resistance; '
and that the advanced Mormon force coneerned in this cap-
ture numbered seven hundred men, while the reserved force
at the Salt Lake numbered fifteen hundred. These
acts of treason and rebellion appear to have been
committed at several points, within two hundred
miles of Great Salt Lake City; and as the army
rotate over this interval lies through • confused mass
of wild and desolate mountains, with frequent difficult
passes and defiles highly favourable for guerilla warfare we
may reasonably infer that, having crooned the Rubicon,
the Mormons will follow up their work in a stubborn de-
&coo of these mountain approaches to their capital. We
should not, therefore, be surprised if the next information
from this new seat of war were tidings of the destruction of
an advanced detachment or two of the United States
army by the infatuated followers of the Mormon prophet.
The inhospitable region into which the government
i troops wore penetrating affords anbeisteses for neither man
nue beset. The emigrant trail through this howling white-
ness is perbape as thickly strewn with the skeletons of
wasted caravans as the desert route to Tlmbuctoo. The ses-
sos is advanced. Ere this those Utah or Vintett mountains
and their defiles are covered with the MOWS of a long winter;
and If an army force of ler than two thousand men, de-
spoiled of their main supplies of ministate., shall still be able
to push through to the Salt Lake, it may be considered a very
fortunate or • very wonderful achievement. More likely,
from the is of their provisions, the government troops will
be compelled to fall back upon the plains, and wait the return
of spring before resuming their expedition.
We eve it,w that Brigham Young is really in earnest, and
that his programme is • desperate struggle to maintain his
dictatorship and his polygamy. We have Lem led to believe,
from Lis sporthee and ha movements, that he expect,
to he able to beat back the present army expedition of the
government; that by the next spring he proposes to organise
all Mormondom into • moveable camp, and, with the ap-
proach of en army fora) which cannot be resisted, hie plan
will most probably be to eva uate Utah with the whole Mor-
mon community, burning or destroying everything in their
retreat which they cannot cony away. From his tour of ex-
ploration last epneg. the Mormon prophet will thus, perhaps,
move northward, across Oregon and Washington Territo-
ries into the British possessions, to try the hospitality of
Queen Victoria. It is certain, at all events, that Brigham
Young is fully aware of the extreme folly of attempting to
maintain by arum his occupation of Utah against the United
States government. Accordingly, we think it a safe conclu-
sion that his scheme is to beat back the present government
expedition, and to evacuate Utah in an Israelitish eviler, or
by a peaceable dispersion of the saints in the spring, to be
collected together again at some new Canaan, as their moans
and facilities may permit.
