THE BLOCKADE OF MATAMOEAS.--WAsHINGTON,
Oct 25,—The State Department has been officially
informed that from and after the. 6th of September last an
efficient blockade will be established and maintained by the
French Naval forces of all the ports, rivers, havens, roads,
creeks, &c., along the coast of Mexico which are not occu-
pied by the French troops, and which still acknowledge the
authority of Juarez, from the lagoon ten miles south of
Matamoras to and including Campeachy, between 25.22
north, 99.54 west, and 19.52 north, 92.50 west of the mai-
_

dian of Paris, and that friendly and neutral vessels will be
allowed the period of 25 days to complete their loading and
leave the blockaded places. The points excepted from the
blockade are Tatnpico, Vera Cruz, Alvarado, Coatzacoalcos,
Tabasco, and Carment. All vessels attempting to violate the
said blockade will be proceeded against in coniormity with
international law and the treaties in force with neutral

Powers.
An interesting discovery was made a few days
since by a shepherd in a wood recently cleared near
Etain (Meuse). It is a coin of Philip of Macedon, father of
Alexander the Great, and therefore more than 2,000 years
old. It is in gold, and weighs eight grains. On one side
is a head of Apollo crowned with laurel, and on the other,
a personage in a car drawn by two horses. Below is a kind
of vase on which is the word PHILIPPOU, in Greek charac-
ters. Before the Roman invasion Greek coins were cur-
rent among the Gauls.
M. Pouyer•Quertier, jun., President of the Rouen
Committee in connection with the Society of the
Prince Imperial, has addressed a report to the Vice-Pre-
sident of the Superior Council in Paris, stating the results
obtained by the workshop established under the auspices of
the society for gratuitously teaching the art of weaving.
The workshop was opened only three mouths since, at a
cost of 7,8721. for 28 frames and necessary fittings. The
society has also advanced 10,380 f. for the purchase of new
frames or transforming old ones, amounting to 89 in all.
At the en 1 of September 28 persons had core-
pleted their apprenticeship, and had been sup-
plied with frames to work on their own account;
61 cotton weavers had also been taught to weave woollens,
and received advances to pay for the necessary alterations
in their frames. The report states that those who have left
the workshop aro able to earn from 2f 50c to 4f 50c per
day. In conclusion the committee expresses regret that
they have not sufficient funds to receive all the persons
anxious to become apprentices. In reply to this report, M.
Fremy, vice-president of the Council of the Society, 12"
informed M. Pouytx-Quertier that the Empress is highly
pleased with the results obtained at Rouen, and that her
Majesty consents to authorise the loan of the funds neces-
sary for the purchase of additional frames, so that a
greater number of apprentices may be received.
M. de Lesseps, president of the Board of Three-
tors of the Suez Canal Company, has written a letter to the
syndic of the agens de change of Paris, stating
that in re-
ference to the late attempt to dispose of some Suez shares
to a money changer in the Palais Royal, g share papers
had been surreptitiously cut out of ono of the registers by a
dishonest clerk, and attempted to be negotiated. The whole
of the shares in question have now been recovered, and aro
iu the hands of the central administration.
A letter from Tlemcen,
in Algeria, says In
addition to the produce which is usually brought to
the markets in this district, a rather large quantity of the
productions of the Sahara have made their appearance there
during the last three months. Considerable transactions
have taken place in this town between the Jews and the
Moorish merchants. Ostrich feathers have been the prin-
cipal articles sold, the sales having during the last three
mouths amounted to 60,000 f. Since the commencement of
the present year that article has every day increased in value

in this mariet."
A letter from Quebec states that the statue of
Victory, sent out by Prince Napoleon, to be erected
eh the heights of Abraham in memory of the French and
English soldiers who fell in the battle of the 28th April,
1760, has just been inaugurated on the spot on which the
battle took place. At the fete which attended the inaugura-
tion, the crown mingled together the cries of " Vive l'Em-
pereur Napoleon I" and " Vive la Rein() Victoria. 1"

Tuesday by the explosion of a steam-engine in the
workshop of M. Savautray, Rue Fontaine-du-Rai. One of
them was struck on the breast by a piece of iron; whilst
the other was badly scalded. The accident was caused
through neglecting to keep the boiler supplied with a snlll-
- quantity of water,
