Ding alongside at the time, sustained considerable da-

must be very large. The Glencove took fire, and burnt

Kossuth, having met with a favourable reception at Mo-

West the river had commenced to rise rapidly, and ex-

tive fires had occurred in various parts of the Union.
- A New. York paper gives the following condensed ac-
count of the intelligence from Ecuador:—
." In Flores' expedition to Ecuador forms the
prevailing, subject of interest. He has bought the
Pacific. Steam Navigation Company's, steamer Chile,
and has engaged from 2,000 to 2,500 men, prin-
cipally Irish and Germans. Report had it that from
four to six armed sailing vessels had left Callao on
the 7th instant with part of the expedition; also that
a vessel containing two hundred Chilenos, also of the
expedition, had joined those vessels at the month of
the harbour of Callao, headed by one Ibanbes; further,
that the Chile, having taken in her coals, provisions,
eight guns, and due quantum of ammunition, was to
leave Callao on the 10th, take in Flores, his staff, and
the rest of the men at Ancon, and proceed to sea to join
the sailing vessels off Tumbes, a few miles south of
Guayaquil River, and there settle the final plsn for
attacking the city of Guayaquil. There is but little
doubt, it any, that the Peruvian Government has con-
nived at, and greatly assisted-Flores in this expedition
influence in Ecuador being of great importance to Peru
in its pr. sent state of affairs. Flores has enlisted
several Englishmen and Americans as officers with high
commend. .Tbe Bolivia, oa the afternoon of the 13th,
passed a fleet of two barques end four smaller vessel)+,

chored at Guayaquil on
the 14th at 11 A.M.; great
excitement on shore ; a few old rusty 24-pounders,
placed along the street facing the water, and about 1,500
regular troops quartered about thestreets, ready to fight
at a moment's notice. The French corvette La Pru-

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
Several of the newspapers take pains to show that
the accounts first published relative to the last mo-
ments of Prince PAUL of Wurtemberg were incor-
rect. For instance, it is now asserted that it was not
a fortnight ago, but in the course of last January,
that the Prince abjured the Protestant religion. The
POPE'S Nuncio was not present as represented. He
left the room before the death of the Prince, but had
administered extreme unction on the previous day.
And, moreover, the Prince of NASSAU, though he
certainly declared that the Prince was not in a state
of mind to desire any change in religion, did not leave
the room, but, on the contrary, remained with his
relative till his death.

The Union says:—
" Two years before his:entrance into the Roman Ca-
tholic Church, the Prince of Wurtemberg spoke to se
veral persons on the subject of religion, and expressed
the doubts which he entertained on the subject; it ap-
peared to him that a religion which originated from the
revolt of a monk, and was divided into many sects, could
not give either truth or salvation. About a year ago he
said, 1 die a Catholic.' Before abjuring, be had seve-
ral conferences with Father Ravignan."
The UiliVerS says that it was to the Abbe DE RA-
viGNiNthat the Prince first expressed his intention to
change his religion, and that he did so more than two,
years ago. These rectifications do not make any
material change in the general bearings of the case,
for it appears that the Prince has left no document,
nor writing. of any kind, in which he makes the
slightest allusion to the subject of a change of re-
ligion.
On Sunday the PRINCE PRESIDENT, accompanied
by Marshal JEROME BONAPARTE and a brilliant
and numerous staff, reviewed in the court of
the Tuileries and. the Carrousel the troops composing
the 4th brigade of the Ist division of the army of
Paris, commanded by General CouaAaD, the 12 b
regiment of dragoons, from the garrison of St. Ger-
main, under the orders of General CAVAIGNAC, the
two battalions of the republican guard, the two bat-
talions of the gendarmerie mobile, a company of
sapeurs-pompiers, and two batteries of artillery. The
review went off well, and the cries of " Vive NAPO-
LEON !" by the troops was enthusiastic. In the
course of the review the PRINCE PRESIDENT distri-
buted several crosses of the Legion of Honour and
medals of honour.
According to the last wishes of the deceased Mar-
shal GERARD, his body is not to be laid out in state,
and after the funeral obsequies have been performed
at the Invalides, his mortal remains will be trans-
ported to the family burial place at Villiers-St.-Paul,
in the department of the Oise.
The following is a brief sketch of his career
:
ETIENNE MAURICE GERARD, C quit and Marshal of
France, was born on April, 1773, at Damvilliers
(Meuse). He ente-ed the army as a volunteer in
1791. He was present at Fleurus ; was at one time
aide-de-camp of BERNADOTTE •' was Colonel at Aus-
terlitz; General of Brigade in the Rus'ian campaign;
General of division in September 1812 ; Count of the
Empire in 1813 ; Marshal of France in 1830 ; Peer
of France at the same time; General-in-Chief at the
taking of Antwerp in 1832 ; twice Minister of War;
twice President of the Council of Ministers; Com-
mander-in-Chief of the National Guards of the
Seine ; twice Grand Chancellor of the Legion of
Honour; Grand-Cross of that Order since July 29,
1814. The deceased took part in all the great battles
of the Empire.
In consequence of the death of Marshal GERARD,
there remain at present only five Marshals in France
—REILLE, promoted in 1847 ; JEROAIE BONAPARTE,
in 1850 ; and EXCELMANS, klitaisne, and VAILLANT
in 1851.
The funeral of the Polish General Count THADEUs
TTSZKIEWIEZ took place on Friday at Pere la Chaise.
The cortege was very numerous, and the body was
attended by a military escort. Prince ADAM SEAR.
TORYSKI and General SKAZYNSICI delivered speeches
over the grave, in which they recapitulated the emi-
nent services of the deceased. Count VINCENT
MYFZHIEZ, the nephew, and Count WODZINSKI, SOW.
in-law of the General, were the chief mourners.
Tne election of the PRESIDENT of the Republic
which, according to the terms of the Constitution of
1848, was to take place at the Ile de Reunion 120
days before the period for the election in France,
carne off in January last before anything was known
there of the events of December. Prince Louis NA-
POLEON was re-elected almost unanimously.
The Moniteur publishes a circular from the Mi-
nister of the Interior to the Prefects of the depart-
ments, directing the attention of those functionaries
to the new duties imposed upon them by the decree
of decentralization, and recommending them to sur-
round themselves with intelligent, laborious, and
strictly- honest' employes.
The Constitutionnel says :—" 'We have been in-
formed of an act of courage and abnegation which
honours one of the members of the family of the
PRINCE PRESIDENT. The eldest son of Prince LU-
CIEN Meads; remembering the traditions of his
family, has just etigaged himself as a private soldier
in the 3 i regiment of the ChatsPurs d'Afrique. The
PRINCE PRESIDENT complimented the young soldier
before his depariu-e, on his determination to demand
his grades only from loyal and real services."
The following note has been communicated to the
Orleans journals:—
" The erince President received on the 12th inst., at
a private audience, the prefects of the Loiret, the Cher,
and the Loir-et-Cher, who presented to him petitions
having upwards of 12,000 signatures in favour of the
amelioration of the Sologne. The Pates, manifested
great interest in this unhappy district, forming, at thirty
leagues from Paris, a sort of unwholesome steppe, and
declared that he would do all in his-power to forward
the prayer of the petitions; he announced that a credit
was opened on the budget of 1853 for the execution of
works already prepared by the Government engineers;
and lastly, he led the prefects of the three departments
over which the Sologne extends to hope that he would,
as soon as he could, visit that interesting country."
A change of weather took place in Paris on Sun-
day, which will prove very beneficial to vegetation.
The quantity of rain that fell was not large, but it is
probable that with the change of moon there will be
abundant showers. The long continued drought,
with a hot sun and a drying wind, had begun to
create uneasiness as to the crops, but all the accounts
from the departments concur in stating that no in-
jury has been done which a few days of rain will not
repair.
..The Bourse opened with great firmness but prices
gave way before the conclusion of business. The
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 1011. 30c., and
closed at 101 t. 20c. for the end of the month; the Three
per Cents. closed at 71f. 95c.; Orleans Railway Shares,
