ORDER OF THE DAY.

" Frigate Nercide, Port of Vera Cruz, March 28, 1839.
" The Admiral announces to the officers and soldiers of
the squadron and garrison of L7lloa, that he has just re-
ceived from the Mexican Government the ratification of
the treaty of peace concluded en the 9th of the month,;
between France and Mexico. The conditions were such 1
as were required by the Admiral. The Cabinet of Mexico
has abandoned the operations it intended carrying into
effect ; the doubts which had arisen respecting the sin-
cerity of the Government, have been entirely dissipated.
" The Admiral, as the interpreter of the generous and
benevolent intentions of France, has imposed very mode-
rate conditions upon Mexico. The object of the expedition
is, however, obtained. Mexico pays an indemnification of
3,000,000 of francs to those of our compatriots who had
claims against her previous to the war.
" The necessary guarantees for the future safety of the
persons and property of the French have been obtained.
" The amount of the indemnification to be paid to those
who have suffered loss by the law of expulsion, shall be
settled by arbitration.

" Our commerce in Mexico will hereafter be on the same
footing as that of the most favoured nations.
" In consequence of peace, the fortress of Ulloa will be
restored to Mexico. This restitution will take place in the
beginning of the ensuing month. The squadron will then
return to France, with the exception of a few vessels in-
tended to remain in the neighbourhood.
" Sailors, cannoneers, miners—each of you, in quitting
the coast of Mexico, will feel the satisfaction of having
co-operated in a service useful and glorious to France.
The country against which you have fought, which you
could have greatly injured, from which injury you have
nevertheless abstained, will feel grateful for your modera-
tion and your generosity; and your Admiral will always
be happy to bear testimony to the spirit of order and
subordination, the courage and the devotion you have ex-
hibited throughout this expedition.
(Signed) " CHARLES BAUDIN."

Intelligence from the interior of Mexico states that Santa
Anna received 200,000 dollars from the merchants of
Mexico for signing the treaty.

MAD DOGS !—Some timid gentlemen of the
Press join in the eternal cry of " mad dog" so vociferously
as to beget a suspicion that they themselves have been
bitten. Some of them, however, are sane enough to
laugh at the alarm they have excited amongst the old
women by horrifying accounts of dogs which are in reality
as harmless as lambs.

FRONTIERS OF POLAND, APRIL I.—lt is long
since there were such great movements among the Russian
troops as at this moment. Almost all the regiments here
change their quarters, and large reinforcements arrive
from Russia to the army under Prince Paskewitsch. It
is thought that the object is to be merely in readiness
against any extraordinary event that may occur in conse-
quence of the state parties in France, and tho religious
differences in Germany, which excite great apprehensions
at St. Petersburgh.
MURDER IN THE STREETS OF PARIS.-011
Wednesday morning, at daylight, the body of a man, who
appeared to have been murdered, was found in an open
piece of ground, rue Chateau Landor, near the rue La-
fayette. The body was almost entirely stripped, having
nothing on but a pair of ragged trousers, and a shirt torn
and stained with blood ; large stones smeared with blood
were found about the body. It was discovered that the
death of the man had been caused by strangulation, and
that he was a journeyman mason, named Longueville, '
lodging at 107, Faubourg St. Martin, at a woman's
named Morlot, where also one of his fellow-workmen
and his brother-in-law lodged, who were arrested, and
examined, but, proving an alibi, were set at
li-
berty. The examination of the body was mado in a
straw warehouse in the rue Lafayette, where it was depo.
sited at five o'clock on Thursday morning. A substitute
of the Procureur du Roi and the examining magistrate Ber-
thelin, were present at the operation, from which it resulted
that Longueville in a state of intoxication, and assailed by
several persons, had, after a prolonged struggle, been
strangled by a cord, and afterwards, as he probably gave
some signs of life, finished by being beaten with stones.
On the morning of the murder Longueville had fifty francs
upon him, which he had received on Saturday-night for his
week's work, and of which, it appears he had spent but a
small portion. Active search is being made to discover the
murderers.

WESTERN UNION OF CHURCHES.—The se-
cond annual meeting of the " Western Christian Union,
and Fellowship of Churches," was held at the old dissent-
lig chapel in Crediton on'Wednesday last. This Society,
although at present confined almost entirely to persons
professing Unitarian sentiments, has no sectarian objects in
view. It is/designed to promote the union of the Chris-
tian Churches, fur the purposes of mutual support and en-
couragement, on the sole principles of acknowledging the
truth of Christianity as delivered in the Scriptures. In
the language of the report laid before the meeting on
Wednesday., "the churches of this Union declare that
they are cognizant of no sectarian peculiarity, that
they disclaim all party names and badges, that they
have no prescribed creed, that they foreclose Scrip-
tural controversy, that they will pledge their members
to nothing but freedom of mind and fidelity to Christ."
The Society was addressed on this occasion in a most
powerful and luminous sermon, by the Rev. George Arm-
strong, B. A., lately a beneficed clergyman in Ireland, now
one of the pastors of Lewin's Mead Chapel, Bristol. Ile
is undoubtedly a very fine and accomplished preacher.
Ills style of composition is Miltonic, and his elocution
highly effective. In some of his startling tones, and espe-
cially in the overwhelming rapidity and sustained onergy
of his utterance at times, he reminded us strongly of Lord
Brougham. We understand that he is to preach at
George's Meeting in this city, on Sunday morning next.—
