THE FOREIGN LEGIoN.

HEr.aGoLAND, May B.—For the present the Ger-
man Brigade of the Foreign Legion will consist of
6,000 men, who will bo commanded by Colonel
von Stutterheim, a nobleman of Brunswick, and
an offi.cer of proved courage, talents, and experience.
A 'letter from Hamburg, dated May 9, in the
Patrie, professing to speak on good authority, says
the island of Heligoland has been definitively
chosen by the English Government as a recruiting
depot for the Foreign Legion. Several English
officers, among whom is a paymster, have arrived
there. Recruiting was expected to begin on May
15. Great advantages are offered to recruits—a
bounty of 61., a good pension to invalids, and the
same rights and privileges as the English soldier.
At the expiration of their term of service the men
who may desire it will be transported gratuitously
either to their own country or to America, and
will receive a gratuity of a year's pay.

CONTINUED ERUPTION OP VESUVIUS.

A letter from Naples, dated May 5, says :
" Viewed from a distance, the fiery mountain presents
somewhat the same appearance as on the occasion of
former eruptions—that is, volumes of smoke ever vary-
ing in form and tint, issue from the mountain, and
darken the bright sky above. Occasionally huge red-hot
stones are thrown np, and at night a red glare tints the
huge volume of smoke, producing a grand effect. But
on the present occasion the lava streams from the ex-
hausted and hitherto long-tranquil Somma, which is the
detached portion, almost co-equal in height with the cir-
cular old cone, from whence all the modern eruptions
have issued.

" The King and the Royal Family have visited the
eruption, and hundreds of persons ascend the mountain
night and day. There appear to be two or three streams
of lava slowly creeping on from apertures which vomit
fire and smoke continually—ever changing in aspect,
according to the violence of the subterraneoua action.
But it is the capricious forms which the smoke assumes
that most amuses the spectator, whilst lighted up by the
reflected red of the fire.
" The eruption will, in all probability, last some days,
until, as on former occasions, the accumulated volcanic
action of the mountain has exhausted itself."

ATTEMPTED REVOLUTION AT SAIAT
DOMINGO.

We learned by the last West Indian mail that the
English commodore had left Jamaica for St. Domingo
on account of the unsettled state of things there. By
the mail steamer from the United States we have re-
ceived the St. Thomas's Times, which supplies a state-
ment of the facts—

" A. body of men, comprising about one hundred, col-
lected in a large building within the city on the night of
Sunday, the 25th ult., and were awaiting the gathering
of alike number ; their purpose was to attack the senti-
nels at. the d'fferent gates, surprise the guards, whom they
hoped. to subdue, and then raise the cry of Viva Buena
Ventura Baez!' which they believed, on the city becoming
awakened, would have been echoed everywhere. It would
however, seem that there was a traitor in the camp, who
communicated to the commandant the secrets of the plot
and towards midnight a body of soldiery surrounded the
house and fired a volley of musketry ; the inmates,
frustrated, attempted to make their escape from the
windows and doors, in doing which many captures were
made, and the parties are now in prison to answer for
their acts. It is further said that several of those who
escaped took refuge at the British Consulate, where they
still remain. President Santana issued a proer
announcing to the Dominican people what d t
