The Chilians were about to evacuate Lima. At Payton
from eighteen to twenty persons were dying daily of the
small-pox. It was said that Gamarra, the new President
of Peru, had declared war against Bolivia.
The Congress of New Grenada have exempted, for four
years, the excise, road, and import duty on the products
of Bolivia, Peru, Ylexico and Central America ; and also
the following manufactured goods, viz.:—straw hats,
baizes, tocuyos, sergas, (coarse freizes) and pellones,
(robes of skin and fur ; ) exempting from export duty gold
hi dust, bullion, or, manufactured articles, and silver, (in
bars the form of pine apples,) or manufactured articles,
provided said metals are the product of the provinces of the
isthmus, or countries' other than New Grenada. Corre-
spondence passing the isthmus to the friendly governments,
and their diplomatic and consular agents, is henceforward
to be exempt from postage.
Vessels, foreign or national, coming to Panama are
also exempted from tonnage, and entrance and anchorage
duties.

There is no news of any political interest in the
Paris Journals of Sunday. The Journal des De-
bats states that since the return of M. ANSELME
to Constantinople, great efforts have been made to
fix upon an answer to MEHEMET ALI in the name
of the Five Powers, but the Envoys cot having
received precise instructions from their respective
Governments, were by no means agreed. " The
Russian Minister," continues the Debats, " de-
clared that he would ask for his passports, if a
French or English vessel of war entered the Dar-
danelles. Admiral Stopford endeavoured on the
17th to obtain permission to enter the Dardanelles,
but on the 21st he received frow KHOSREW a po-
sitive refusal. The situation of Constantinople is
menacing ; the guards are doubled, patroles conti-
nually moving about. Crowds in coffeehouses are
forbidden. Three times have incendiaries endea-
voured to set fire to d fferent quarters. HALIL
PACHA is on very bad terms with Kilos REW ; the
wife of the former, daughter of the late Sultan,
incites him, and the Sultana Mother joins her in
hating KHOSREW. Eight days ago there was a
lively discussion between KHOSREW and the Sul-
tana Mother, the Kislar Aga taking the latter's
part. She insisted on being made immediately ac-
quainted with the resolutions of the Divan. The
Cheik-el-Islam is also opposed to KHOSREW. The
Divan has determined on changing all the Pachas
and Governors in Asia."

The Coltrrier Francais blames the French Go-
vernment for not co-operating more cordially with
England in settling the affairs of the East, add-
ing, that were England to identify her interests
with Russia, who seeks, and would be proud of
her alliance, France would have only herself to
blame for the defection of her best ally. " The
French Ministry," truly observes our Parisian
Contemporary, " has never clearly said what it
wished—what it meant, and has constantly refused
to fix a precise basis on which negociation might
be undertaken. Is one to be surprised if the Eng-
lish Cabinet has taken this tergiversation for a re-
fusal ?" Although there is little fear of our seek-
ing or accepting a closer alliance with. Russia, yet
there is much truth, and a great deal of sound sense
in these observations.

The Moniteur of Sunday thus officially an-
nounces the conclusion of the treaty with Texas :
A treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between
France and the Republic of Texas was signed, on the 25Lla
inst., by the President of the Council, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and General Henderson, Plenipotentiary Minister
of that Republic. 0:1 the same day General Henderson
wai received by his Majesty.
There is no news of the slightest interest from
the Spanish frontier. The following official notice
has been posted at Bayonne, and the other towns
on the frontier :-.._.

TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

BAruNNE, SEPT. 25.—The Minister or the Interior
writes me as tllows

" The prohibition against the transmit of goody by the
frontier of the Lower Pyrenees being at present unavail-
able, orders have been communicated to me by telegraph
that matters should be re-established on the same footing
as they were before the ordinance of 3d .111),. 1835.
" The Sous-Prefet HENA ULT."

(From the Papers.)
According to the Gazette de France, Don Carlos does
not intend making a long stay at Bourges. The corps
diplomatique at Paris, it appears, strongly remonstrated
against the sort of captivity in which the Prince was kept
by the French police, and the Government, after some
hesitation, sent passports to Don Carlos, who, it was be-
lieved, would shortly proceed to Germany. La Mode
says that this application on the part of the Foreign Minis-
ters had given rise to a stormy drbate in the Council ; and
that Marshal Soult insisted on Don Carlos being detained.
until the termination of the war, but that the majority of
his colleagues had decided that he should be instantly
liberated.

Letters received in Trieste positively mention that
Hafiz Paella had entered into an arrangement with the
Curds, and joined the Egyptians. Captain Caille,
Marshal Soult's Aide-de-Camp, was_to have embarked for
France on the 7th.

We find by the Gazzetta Pienzontese of the 24th ult.,
that the Queen of Naples gave birth on the 17th to a
Prince, who was named Albert Maria Francis.

BANKS.—In Scotland, with a population of but
2,065,114, there are 302 banks and branches of issue
and discount ; while in Ireland, with a population of
9,000,000, there are only 160 banks, which, with the
exception of the Bank of Ireland and one or two
banks in Dublin, do not issue notes within fifty miles
of the metropolis.

ASTLEY'S THEATRE.—The Tournament here
loses nothing of interest by repetition, for crowded
houses continue to give the best unequivocal proof of
the fact by their attendance, The piece is not simply a
silent show of the machinery of a Tournament, but there
is dialogue to supply a story, including the laws, the
chances, the losses, and the general objects of such ex•
hibitions, agreeably to the estimation in which they were
held by the people of those times. In the main intent
of the piece, Mr. Ducrow appears to have drawn most
profusely upon his vein for spectacle. He has summoned
to his aid apparently all he knew of stage effect and
scenic iilusion. The groupings in detached morsels
were great, and the tableaux, in fact, were great ; they
were magnificent.
IMPORTANCE OF THE CHINA TRADE.—It
was stated in the course of the interview which the
Liverpool deputation had with Lord Palmerston, on
Friday last, that one of the deputation had exported
more manufactured goods to Canton in one year than
the East India Company had exported, in the same
period, during their monopoly of the trade.
GLASGOW SAVINGS' BARK.—We have very
great pleasure in stating this most gratifying fact, so
creditable to the working classes of Glasgow, namely,
that on the 20th of November last, the accumulation
of savings amounted to 90,0001. sterling, and now they
amount to the sum of 120,0001., being an increase of
30,000/. in ten short months.—Glasgow Paper.
FIRE.—The Morning Chronicle briefly alludes
to a fire that broke out yesterday afternoon, and which
for a while threatened destruction, not only to its own,
hut to the houses in the immediate neighbourhood :
" Yesterday afternoon a fire occurred in one of the
apartments contaiaing our printing machines, but a
speedy supply of water enabled the firemen who
arrived with the different engines to overcome it
before much damage had been done." The Ad-
vertiser furnishes the following particulars :
The fire
was first observed issuing from the machine-room. An
alarm was immediately given, when the engineer rushed
down stairs, and was appalled at beholding the engine-
room in one entire blaze. I\lessengers were immediately
sent in all directions for fire-engines. A good supply of
water was immediately obtained, and the flames were in a
short time got under. The desk in the counting-house,
which contained money and important documents, was
torn from its position and conveyed to the Morning
Post office for security. When the extent of the cala-
mity was ascertained, it was found that one of the pr nt-
ingmachines was nearly altogether destroyed. Ano-
ther machine in the same room was nearly sharing the
same fate, but, owing to the exertions of the firemen,
was fortunately rescued. Of course the preservation of
the latter one will prevent any interference with the
publication of our Contemporary. Not more than a quar-
ter of an hour could have elapsed from the discovery of
the conflagration until it was entirely subdued.
PUBLIC DINNER TO THE DUKE OF BUC-
cLEucH BY HIS TENANTRy.—Thc dinner to the
Duke of Buccleuch, given to him by his tenantry in
' the counties of Roxburgh and Dumfries, and which
was at first fixed to take place on the 12th instant,
bat was obliged to be postponed in consequence of
the illness
of one of the members of his Grace's
family, took place on Thursday evening, in a pavilion
erected for the occasion within the demesne of the an-
cient seat of his family at Branxholm. The Kelso
Chronicle states a fact probably applicable to many dis-
tricts, namely, that in order to get up an imposing de-
monstration, the Tories industriously beat up for re-
cruits, who were presented with tickets gratuitously for
the dinner.
