LATEST INTELLIGENCE,

(REUTER'S TELEGRA XS.)

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH AMERICAN.

(Viet Greencastle.)

NEW YORK, JULY '29 (Evening).

Governor Brownlow has rec juested General
Thomas to send troops into the counties of Ten-
nessee to preserve order during the elections.
The Raleigh Standard asserts that the rebel ele-
ment is gaining strength in Nor th Carolina. The
rebel papers openly denounce tl Le Government for
promulgating treason.

It is reported that Kirby Smith has escaped to
Mexico and has surrendered to the Governor of
Satillo and by him been paroled.
The hostile feeling between th© French and the
Federal. troops along the Mexican frontier is re-
ported to be increasing.

Mr. Atlee can now freely perform the functions of

the office conferred on him.

The Journal de Rouen states that the equestrian
statue of the Emperor Napoleon 1., which is to be
erected in the Place de l'Hotel de Ville, arrived in
that city from Paris by railway. The inauguration
is fixed for the 14th, the day before the Emperor's

fete. Marshal Valliant is to represent the Sovereign

on the occasion.

An accident, attended with serious loss of life,
occurred at St. Germain-en-Lays the day before
yesterday. A number of workmen engaged in re-
pairing a house were raising a piece of timber to the
level of the fourth floor, when the scaffolding sud-

denly gave way, and four of them were precipitated
to the ground. Three were killed on the•spot, and
the fourth had one of his thighs fractured.
The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the
following as the atmospheric situation yesterday:—
" A gene-zal calm reigns over the west of Europe.
The g,",i‘le which we announced on Saturday as ap-
pros ~:king Russia had its centre this morning a little
to the North of the Black Sea ; it gave very strong
winds between N. and E., at Libau and Riga, and
IV. and N.W. at Vienna. The Adriatic is calm.
Intelligence fails from the greater part of Spain and
Portugal, England, Norway, and the Black Sea."
In Paris, yesterday, the weather was fine and the
heat moderate. The thermometer at three in the
afternoon marked 2, C. (70 2-3 F.)
Another interesting discovery has just been made
while digging in the court-yard of the Tuileries for
the foundation of the new Salle des Etats, being
nothing less than the oven which, according to
archaeologists, must have been used by Bernard de
Palissy, besides a number of fragments of moulds of
figures and different objects, which confirm the
opinion that they must have formerly been used by
that artist. Among others is the bust of a sort of
monster, composed entirely of shells, while others
exhibit the limbs of animals, distinguishing even
the hair on their skins. These moulds were no
doubt used in modelling the figures for a grotto
constructed by him in the gardens of the Tuileries
by order of Catherine 'de Medicis. A manuscript
memoir of Bernard de Palissy at La Rochelle a few
years back, especially mentions a formal proposal of
his to make for the grotto some fantastic figures,
one of which would be formed of " diverses que-
quilles and another " imitant de si pres
la nature jusqu'aux petits poilz des barbes et des
seurcilz." Besides these moulds, which are about
a dozen in number, are three or four pieces of
enamelled earthenware, which are alone sufficient to
mark the hand of the great master. Some anti-
quarians go so far as to affirm that the grotto itself
will yet be four d in the Tuileries garden, as the
spot where it was formed is known approximately.
Some of the English papers lately spoke of the
engagement of M. Arditi, the chef-d'orchestre of
Her Majesty's Theatre, in a similar capacity at the
Italian Opera of Paris, but they design is not to be
carried out for financial reasons, as explained in a
letter addressed by M. Bagier to the above-named
gentleman, and published in the Ente-acts. M.
Bagier states that the musicians of his orchestra
have demanded an increase of salary, which he
cannot give this year, as the Opera no longer
receives a subvention from the State. Under
these circumstances, were he to engage M.
Arditi at the salary of 4,000 fr. a month, which
he requires, instead of 1,500 fr., the highest yet
paid at the Italian Opera, the demands of the mu-
sicians would become so extravagant as to place him
(M. Bagier) in great embarrassment. For those
reasons he is obliged, with much regret, to decline
engaging M. Arditi.
It has been stated that the applications for the
City of Paris bonds will be reduced by 38 per cent.
The distribution, therefore, gives the following re-
sult :-100 bonds subscribed for will receive 62 ; 50,
31; 25, 16 ; 20, ; 10, 7;5, 4 ; and 3, 2. Sub-
scriptions for 1 or 2 will not be reduced.
A. case of manslaughter after a drinking bout has
just occurred at Cezay (Loire). A man named
Chaland, the proprietor of a house let to a wine-
shop keeper named Plasse, had passed the night
carousing with his tenant and another man. While
under the influence of liquor a quarrel arose be-
tween Chaland -and Plasse, and on the former leav-
ing the house at half-past seven in the morning, he
continued to abuse the latter from the street.
Plasse had thrown himself on his bed to sleep, and
probably being irritated at the noise, arose, took a
gun and fired from the window at his landlord, who
fell mortally wounded and expired two hours later.
Plasse was at once arrested.
It may be remembered that the Council of the
Order of Advocates some time since cited M. E.
011ivier to appear before it, for having accepted paid
functions as agent to the Viceroy of Egypt. As the
learned gentleman did not present himself on the
day appointed, the council on Tuesday last decided
that his name should cease to be inserted on the
list.

Arrivals at the Hotel Meurice :—The Prince and
Princess Gortschakoff, Prince and Princess Scha-
hovskoy, Lord Westbury and the Duchess of Marl-
borough.
A valuable antiquarian discovery is said to hare
been just made in the Rue de Grenelle, consisting
of seventeen letters by Cardinal Richelieu, found
in a secret drawer of a cabinet of Louis Thirteenth's

time.
" M. Renan," says the Liberte, " is expected in
Paris ; he brings, ready for printing, the second
volume of his work on what he calls the origin of
Christianity. This treatiseedivided into two parts,
is to be called " Histoire des Apotres."
" It is asserted," says the France, " that the Em-
peror of Russia has recalled to St. Petersburg Prince
Paul de Demidoff, attache to the Russian Embassy
at Paris, on account of his having taken part in the
duel which was the subject of conversation some
weeks since."
