CAPE OP GOOD HOPE.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY, 10 A.M.

The Union Mail Steamship Company's screw
steamer Cambrian, Commander William Strutt,
from the Cape of Cood Hope, St. Helena, and As-
cension, is now entering the Sound. A strong gale
from the south-west has been blowing all night,
and continues. At 3 a.m. it was accompanied by a
heavy storm of hail.

10.45 A.M.

The force of the gale, which is now due west,
has compelled the Cambrian to drop Ler anchor in
the middle of the Sound, a mile to the eastward of
her proper berth.

last three days has been prevented by the weather
from going up Hamoaze, remains inside the break-

SPAIN.

CADIZ, JAN. 24.

News received here from Vera Cruz, dated the
26th of December, states that the French army,
having left garrisons in Vera Cruz, Jalapa, Cor-
dova, Orizaba, and Tampico, was advancing upon
Puebla.

The Commander of the Normandie was dead of

the vomito.

FRANCE.

PARIS, JAN. 24.

The 7foniteur of this morning publishes a de-
spatch from Admiral Jurien de Lagraviere, dated
Vera Cruz, Dec. 16, giving good news of the army,
which was advancing, and finding supplies upon
the plains in its route.
1,200 mules and 250 waggons had arrived from
New York, and 450 mules from Santiago.
The Emperor received yesterday, at the Tuileries,
a special letter from the President of Hayti.
The Opinion Nationale tells us that M. Ber-
themy, Minister Plenipotentiary of the Empre,
whose departure for China has been previously
announced, has put himself in communication,
since his passage through Lyons and Marseilles,
with the Chambers of Commerce in those two
towns, who have so great an interest in the deve-
lopment of the commercial relations of France with
'the East. The same journal tells us from a German
source that the Duke of Modena will visit Vienna
at the end of January to take leave of his troops.
The Modenese brigades will be dissolved in February,
the greater part of the officers taking commissions
in the Austrian army.

the address of the Prussian Chambers, and

will the King see his error after hearing
such language. Experience forbids the hope.
E Opinion Nationale rather thinks that his Majesty
will content himself with celebrating grand fetes
in Berlin and throughout the provinces, in the hopes
of outvying the Chambers in the affections of the
people, and after enumerating the prospective festi-
vities, our French contemporary gravely asks, with a
touch of national esprit, whether such fetes and cele-
brations are not after all worth more than a Con-
stitution P :Le Constitutionel learns from the
Cologne Gazette that the Duke of Saxe Coburg has
positively refused the Crown of Greece. It does
not, however, pledge itself to the authenticity of
this rumour. It denies very strongly the accusa-
tions brought against the employment of forced
labour by the Suez Canal Company, and asserts
that it par its workmen and supports them,
giving them the option of re-engagement after a
short time.

Brest are about to remove to Cherbourg. They
are intended to convey troops to Mexico. The
war department has received orders to forward
ammunition to Cherbourg without delay.
The Moniteur has the following note :

. " On receiving the news that the Viceroy of Egypt I
had placed an
Egyptian battalion at the disposal of
the Emperor of the French, the English press in-
dulged in suppositions, the rectification of which is
desirable. The facts of the case are these:—Ex-
perience having proved by the example of the black
companies in the French West India Islands sent to
Vera Cruz, that the negro race is not liable, like the
whites, to the influence of the yellow fever, the Em-
per requested from the Viceroy, not permission to ,
recruit soldiers, as the English Government did at
the time of war in India, but the temporary cesiion
of en organizod negro regiment of 1,200 men with
its officers and sub-officers. The Viceroy could not
for the moment spare more than 450 men, who are
to garrison Vera Cruz. This measure, adopted with
a humane object, cannot leave room for the slightest
criticism."
