Rear-Admiral Purvis, appointed to succeed Rear-Ad-
miral Dixon as commander-in-chief at Queenstown, will
hoist his flag on board the Ajax, 58, screw-ship, Cap-
tain Quin, on the 15th inst.
We are sorry to hear that Admiral Sir James Gordon,
K.C.8., the distinguished Lieutenant-Governor of Green-
wich Hospital, is seriously indisposed.
Commodore Talbot, the 'new Commander-in-Chief for
the Cape, will hoist his broad pendant, it is said, on
board the Meander, 44, at Chatham, on the Ist of July.
It was this officer who last commanded the Vestal, 26,-
and not Lord Ingestre (now Earl Talbot), as stated by
a contemporary.
Captain Sir William Hoste, Bart., in the Spartan, 26,
it is reported, goes to Rangoon. A good screw-steamer,
one would imagine, would be a much more efficient man-
of-war in that quarter.
Rear-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., the Commander-in-Chief
in tne•Tslediterranean, was to leave Port Mahon with his
fleet, on a short cruise, on the Ist of June.
PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.--It is currently reported that
CotuFandoro Martin, lately in command of the Lisbon
squadron, is to bo Captain-Superintendent at Hadarllosnital.
RoTpital. vice Sir E. W. Parry, promoted.
We hear that Captain C. B. Hamilton will probably
have the Eurydice, 9.4, now in ordinary at Portsmouth,
instead of the Vestal, at Sheerness.
It is supposed that the screw-steamers now at this port
will form a sort of trial squadron, and probably go out
for exercise under the orders of Captain Chars, iu the
Edinburgh.
Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, R.A., and a board of
offie2savwill have the Sprightly ateimer, MaNter-Com-
mander Allen, placed at their disposal for two days,
early next week; it is supposed for the purpose of visit-
ing the situations of the no# forts at Hurst Point and
inside the Nab, on No-naan's shore.

Fairy royal yacht, with Captain Crispin on board,
proceeded out of harbour yesterday, for the purpose of
trying the flexible screw, which was not found to answer
so well as it was expected, the royal yacht making with
it not more than about nine knots, for although she made
seven or eight more engine revolutions than she rtanally
does with Smith's screw, she did not go so fast by 2f
knots. The Fairy wan brought on the graving :lip this
morning and re-shipped her• former shrew.
• Dauntless, 24, screw steam-frigate, Captain L. P.
Ha!stead, arrived at Spithead under. sail this morning,
and anchored about one o'clock. She saluted the Ad-
miral, Sir Thomas Briggs, with 17 guns, which the Vic-
tory returned. The Dauntless left Gaiway,,lreland, on,
Saturday lsa; she did not join the Irish squadron. She
came into Portsmouth Harbour in the (waling.
Encounter screw corvette, Captain Gordon, is com-
pleted, and is coaling alongside the yard jetty.
Edinburgh, 60, Captain Hewlet, screw block-ship, has
bad her compasses swung, and is lying at the'mooringa
off the King's Stairs. We understand Captain Hewlet
will' this evening entertain Captain ..Chards and' the
officers of the Excellent, at dinner on board her. The
Edinburgh will, it is supposed, go out for a day or two,
previously to Captain Ctiads taking her out, for the pur-
pose of exercise.
Highflyer, screw-frigate, Captain Matson, is nearly
ready for sea; she has gone to the moorings off Gosport.
Basilisk, steam-sloop, Commander Hon. F: Egerton,
is further fitting alongside her hulk. in the dockyard.
Flying Fish and Pantaloon brigs, taken: into dock on
Tuesday, have been examined and found to require new
copper, though it has not been
,on them more than three
years.
The Samson, 6, paddle steam-frigate,
,CapTain Jones,
arrived at Spithead this morning. She cause up under
sail only, and in consequence of the westerly wind and
reverse tide it was late in the evening before. sho reached
her anchorage. _

WOOLWICH, JUNE 11.—The Agamemnon, so, has
been taken under the sheers at the east end of the inner
basin to have her boilers put on board, and two of the
four boilers she is to be lithd with have already been
hoisted into the vessel. A casting took piece at the fac-
tory here on Wednesday afternoon of a brass screw
propeller for this fine war steamer, and the process of
casting was most satisfactory, although the quantity of
metal used in forming the screw propeller amounted to
la tons of brass metal. The furnace was charged and,
lighted at eight o'clock A. 11,, and at four P.M. the whole
ot- the liquid brass was run into the mould formed for
the screw propeller, which is eighteen feet six inches in
diameter,• and upwards of tea inches thick where it
joins the axis or revolving centre. As it will require

We read in the Pays :
The mission of clemency confided to General de
Goyon by the President of the Republic continues to
effect its object. Daring the lest fortnight thirty pH. I
Boners, moat of them fathers of families, have been set at
liherty,*.and they have all been loud in their expressions
of gratitude and devotedness. The day before yesterday :
nine more condemned to transportation, belonging to the
departments of the Yonne and the Aube, were released.
Passports for their departments were delivered to them,
and they left Paris the same day. Four others, whose
oases were more serious, have had a commutation of
their sentences, and are until farther orders to reside at
a prescribed distance from their former homes. They
are Bollerait, an architect at Tonnerre; Catalle, of
the Yonne; Labosse, sen., of the Aube; and Gervais, of
Troyes. There only now remains in the forts about 300
prisoners, on whose cases a decision will shortly be
come to."

By order of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic,
an addition of from 100 f. to 2001.; according to length
of service, has been made to the salaries of the letter-
carriers in Paris, upwards of 500 in number.
The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic has con-
ferred the cross of the Legion of Honour on M. DES-.
MAZURES, a Belgian, who served in the grande
armee. It was promised him by the Emperor'.Nero-:
LEON himself.

The Paris correspondent of the Daily Newi writes•
as follows, dated Thursday evening : •
" correspondents of the L4ndon papers who have
been threstzned with expulsion by the French GoverP.-
nem, having apprised the British 'Ambassador of tbo
nature of their interviews with the director of the pre is
at the Ministry of Police, wore invited this morning •to
the cabinet of. his ExceLency. Lord Colley, having
evinced greet interest ht the tut-ject, and warm sym-
pathy with the cause of the freedom of the E►iglish
press, stated. what he thought the most advisable course
to be taken for the present. Until he received instruc-
tions frob his Government ho should limit his proceed-
ings to endeavouring, in au extra-official capacity, to
ascertain the real intention of the French Government
on the subject. For this purpose, he would demand an
interview with the Minister of Police and with the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs. ,1.10 should thus be enabled
to find out whether the intention attributed by M.
Latour-Durnoulin to the French Government did
rEaly exist, and was avowed by the Ministry;
whether the Government would seriously' hold. the
Paris correspondents of the London press responsible for
whatever French news or comments thereupon app eared
in their respective journals, and was prepared to carry
into execution the threat of expulsion. When his Ex-
cellency had. ascertained tole point, which ho expected
to be able to do immediately, ho would communicate the
result of his inquiries to the correspondents. In the
meantime, perhaps t:e.ey might find it expeOient to hold
a little meeting among themselves, and agree upon :what
was the better course for them to adopt, in case the
French Government, were seriously bent upon executing
the threat held oat. The correspondents, having thanked
his Excellency. tor the prompt and earnest manner in
which he bad taken up their c zse, then withdreW."
The Courtier des Ardennes 'contradicts the state-

A Paris correspondent of the Indipendance of
Brussels states that M. GRAM= DE CASCAQNAC was
not invited to a dinner given at the Elys6e a few dais
ago to the deputies in his department in the Legisla-
tive Body.
The Paris correspondent of the Indipendance of
Brussels, Writing on Wednesday, says—•
"•M. V6ron gave the first or' his files yesterday. He
convoked only 25 guests to the Teilerie at Auteuil, and

grand dinner oh Wednesday. All the Ministers had been
invited to it, but the Mum states that they sent back
their invitations. M. Billault, President of the Legis-
lative Body, who had likewise been invited, did not
attend:" '
