FRANCE.

At two o'clock on Monday afternoon the Emperor,
accompanied by the Minister of State and the Prefects
of the Seine and Police, went to the Port St. Nicolas to
visit the screw steamer Le Laromiguiere, which arrived
three days since from Bordeaux. His Majesty, who was
received on board by the owners, M. Montane, of Paris,
and MM. Festugiere, of Bordeaux, and by the builder of
the vessel, M. Arman, examined the vessel in detail, which
is constructed on an entirely new system, join, ly of wood
and iron, and questioned M. Arman as to the possibility
of applying the same system to vessels of war. The
slight draught of water, only six feet, for a vessel of her
tonnage, particularly excited the attention of the Em-
peror, and he had explained to him by the builder the
means which had been employed to obtain so desirable
a result. The moveable keels, which enable the vessel
to encounter the roughest weather at sea, were worked
before his Majesty, and it was shown how their remo-
val allowed her to enter rivers hitherto closed against
vessels of her tonnage. The Emperor expressed himself
highly satisfied with what he had seen, and retired
a,inidA the warmest acclamations from the crew and the
people assembled on the quays. His Majesty after-
wards visited the works of the Louvre, and then re-
turned to the Tuileries.

The approaching arrival in Paris of the Prince of Saxe-
Coburg, the Regent of Portugal, is announced He
will proceed to Brussels, in company of his son, the
King of Portugal. The marriage of the young King
with the Princess Charlotte, daughter of King Leopold,
is spoken of.

Troops are already embarking at Marseilles and
Toulon.

The letter of the Emperor Napoleon to the Emperor
Nicholas, published in the Di oniteur of yesterday morn-
ing, produced a most unfavourable impression amongst
the speculators at the Bourse yesterday, and a conse-
quent serious fall in the price of public securities. The
Three per Cents. opened at 69f. 55c., fell to 68f. 40c.,
and closed at 68f. 70c. for the end of the month. The

RECALL OF SIR H. SEYMOUR.

On the evening of the 9th Lord Napier left Berlin for
St. Petersburg, accompanied by Capt. Wright, Queen's
messenger, for the purpose of taking Sir H. Seymour his
orders of recall. The visit of this Napier (Lord) to St.
Petersburg will probably be unwelcome enough to the
Czar, but we may confidently reckon that the visit of the
next Napier (Sir Charles,) accompanied by Admiral
Chads, for the purpose of exercising his " Excellent "
gunnery on Cronstadt, will probably be much more so.
London, England, 1854-02-15

At length Parliament is about to take the Law
of Settlement into its serious consideration. Not
merely as in bygone years, by the appointment
of a Select Committeee, or the publication of a
bulky addition to that peculiar class of literature
denominated " Blue Books," but by a very de-
cided alteration, and an equally decided improve-
ment in the existing law. Henceforward the
entire system of "shuttlecock pauperism" will
at once, and for ever, be extinguished. The
" BUMBLES" of the various parishes will no longer
have opportunities afforded for making pleasure
excursions to the modern Babylon. Nor will
these " inflexible" functionaries be enabled to
gratify their amour propre by making the
" Clerkenwell Sessions find themselves in the
wrong box," or even to exhibit their calculating
powers, by showing that it would " come to two
pound cheaper to move 'em (i.e. the casuals) than
to bury 'em ! " These felicitous operations will
be numbered with the past, nor (for every plea-
sure has its drawback—and there is said to be
" a skeleton in every Mansion") will the " poro-
char " beadles be aggravated by the perverse be-
haviour of the badly-fed and scantily-clothed
paupers, in shivering and complaining of cold
during the journey." No, "from and after the
passing of the bill, it shall not be lawful to re-
move by force any poor person upon the ground
of settlement from any parish in England or
Wales."

went away without making purchases. The wheat offered
found buyers to a limited extent at about late rates ; but
flour was difficult to move at is per barrel and sa ck under

ADELAIDB. —The advices from Adelaide, South Aus-
tralia, by the overland mail, are to the 30th of Novem-
ber, at which date the import market was still heavy
from an over-supply of goods. The Legislative Council
had just decided upon some material alterations in the
existing tariff. All articles liable to ad valor= duties
are to be charged a uniform rate of 5 per cent., instead
of part 10 per cent. and part 5 per cent., as formerly.
The duty on wine is reduced to is. per gallon, but on
spirits it is increased from 6s. to 9s. Pig-iron is reduced
from ss. to 2s. 6d. per ton ; corn, from is. 6d. to
6d. per quarter ; and flour, from ls. to 3d. per cwt.
Wool, tallow, hides, bark, gum, &c., are placed on the
free list. Four additional steamers are to be placed on
the River Murray during the next 12 months, and the
lands on its banks were to be forthwith surveyed and
thrown. open for public sale. Labour was less scarce,
and there was less disposition to leave the colony.
Money was abundant, and the weekly land sales large.
Barra Burra shares were quoted 166, and the twentieth
dividend of Si. per share (or 100 per cent. on the capita
stock) had just been declared.

EXECUTION AT GUERNSEY.

On Monday, John Charles Tapner underwent the last
sentence of the law for the murder of an old lady named
Saujon, the widow of a French merchant, in whose house
he had lodged. He had for some time held an appoint-
ment as clerk in the Ordnance Department of Fort George,
and is said to belong to a good family resident near Wool-
wich. Tha prisoner was sentenced to death on the 27th of
January, ani still persisting in his previous declarations of
innocence, his friends and legal advisers thought it advis-
able to send a petition to the Queen, which as usual was
referred to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment ; but Lord Palmerston, after reading the evidence
taken at the trial, as reported by the Queen's Procurenr,
informed the island authorities that he saw no reason for
interfering with the sentence passed by the court. How-
ever, at the instance of the chaplain of the gaol, and other
gentlemen who took an interest in the culprit's spiritual
welfare, the court granted two further reprieves, accompa-
nied in the last instance with an intimation that the exe-
cution of the sentence would be deferred no longer. From
that time the prisoner evidently abandoned all hope of
mercy, and applied himself zealously to his religious duties,
in which he was assisted by the gaol chaplain, the Rev.
Mr. Bouverie. the Rev. Mr. Pearce, and other clergymen,
and at the last of these interviews he made a full confession
of his guilt, although he seemed at first anxious that it
should not be published to the world. Hvwever, the in-
utility of this having been pointed out to him, the unhappy
man consented to place at the disposal of the Rev. Mr.
Bouverie and Mr. Pearce an authenticated declaration.
On the second day previous to his execution, the culprit's
wife and three children were admitted to the condemned
cells. The interview, as may bo supposed, was painful in
the extreme; that over, Tapuer appeared quite resigned.
The execution took place at eight o'clock in the morning,
on a scaffold erected in a field adjacent to the prison. It
was attended by the Queen's procureur, the greffier, tho
sheriff, deputy-sheriffs, a party of the bordiers, and the
executioners and his assistants. Tapner betrayed compa-
ratively little agitation, but he struggled considerably
when the drop fell. The body has been interred in the
burial-ground adjacent to the prison.

CALEDONIAN SOCIETY.—We are glad to learn that the
ball of the Caledonian Society, at the Hanover-square
Rooms, on Thursday, is likely to be numerously at-
tended. The balls of this society are so well managed
(including an excellent supper, with plenty of well se-
lected wines), that it is not surprising the attendance
should be large ; but on this occasion, when the profits
are to form an additional means of usefulness to our
great national charity, we trust the gathering will be
both numerous and brilliant.

SHIPWRECK AT SEA.—Captain Decan, of the ship
Westmorland, from Philadelphia, at Liverpool, reports
having fallen in with the new ship Mary T. Starret'
Captain Crocket, of Roseland, from New York to Havre'
on the Ist instant, in lat. 45 N., long. 37 W., in a very
leaky state, with loss of all her sails, rudder, and fore-
mast, and with half her cargo overboard. She took the
crew off the wreck (18 in number, captain included), and
sent the carpenter to scuttle the vessel to prevent her
causing any destruction to other ships.

wounds, and disabled me from following any of the

SPAIN.

MADRID., FEB. 9
It is stated that at the weekly couneil, whichwill be held to-morrow, a decision will be come to
respecting the case of General O'Donnell. The Go-
vernment had referred the matter to the Supreme
Tribunal of War and Marine, which has sent in its
report, the latter being unfavourable to General
O'Donnell. General J. Coucha's case has not yet
been dealt with.

As regards the fourteen persons arrested the
other day, their case has been sent before Senor
Valero y Soto, judge of First Instance. Some
think that they will be shipped off to the Philip-
pines, while others assert that the charges against
them are but slight, and that they will shortly be
set at liberty, as Senor Narci=,o de la Escosura has
just been. The most serious charges were alleged
against the latter when he was first arrested, yet
it appears that he has proved his innocence.
A convention between Spain and Mexico, for
the settlement of the claims of Spanish subjects
on the Mexican Government, is published to-day.
It was negotiated in Mexico in November last, and
the ratifications were exchanged here on the 6th
inst. by Senor Calderon de la Barca and Senor Vivo,
the Mexican Minister. It refers to a large mass
of claims arising out of loans, contracts, kc.,
made during the Mexican war of independence ;
and modifies a previous convention made in 1851,
which it was found impossible to carry out. The
main feature is that Mexico recognises all the
claims sent in and proved in conformity with that
convention, or of which proof is still pending, if
duly made out ; and agrees to pay 3 per cent. in-
terest on them from February and August, 1852,
and 5 per cent. per annum towards paying off the
principal ; and further, to set aside and secure to
the Spanish claimants 8 per cent. of the customs
revenues for that purpose.
Major-General Don Pascual Real has been ap-
pointed military commander at Toledo. A journal
says that he commanded the Carlist cavalry during
the civil war.
Another Carlist party has appeared in Upper Ca-
talonia, but the troops and police soon dispersed it.
The battalion of Cagadores of Bergara was sent from
Barcelona against it. General La RoCha dismissed
seven town councillors of Beija, and imprisoned
four priests there, who, it appears, were implicated
in the issue of some proclamations in a Carlist
sense.

rEcE PENINSULAR MAILS.

ADMIRAL CORRY'S FLEET.
The Iberia arrived at Southampton yesterday.
Her Majesty's ships Prince Regent, Duke of Welling-
ton, Saint Jean d'Acre, Imperieuse, Arrogant, Am-
phion, Tribune, Vaiorous, and Odin, were at Lisbon on
the 9th.
Her Majesty's ship Desperate sailed for England on
the 6th with invalids ant.l promoted officers:
Admiral Corry has officially notified to the captains
and gunnery officers of the squadron that we are on the
eve of a war with Russia, And he will expect to find
that the ships are perfect in gunnery. Every attention
has been paid to this important point of the service
throughout the fleet.
It is rumoured at Lisbon that the British Government
has asked the Portuguese Government whether it will
furnish a contingent of twelve thousand men for this
occasion ; but it is believed that no effective aid can be
expected from Portugal, as the Government there is
completely Russian ised.
Her Majesty's ship Prince Regent is to come to Eng-
land to be paid off, that her crew may be transferred to
one of the screw line-of-battle ships.
Exchange on London at Lisbon 54. Discount of

d'arrn4e from Moscow passed the Southern frontier of
I3essarabia on its way to the Danube. The reserve,
under the orders of the General Geodaschell was ex-
pected from thence in a few weeks.
It is certain that the idea prevails among the Russian
soldiers th:,t they are on their way to the Holy Land,
to rescue it from the hands of infidels, in which
flattering term are comprised not only the Mus-
sulmans, but the English and French. A Wallachian
has assured me that on the march of one of the early
corps into the Principalities, a party of soldiers halted
at a house to beg for a draught pf water. After their
thirst was satisfied, they asked with great simplicity,
but with all sincerity, whether they were far from Jeru-
salem, for which they were on their march ; and that
they were told they would reach it in one or two days
more.

Letters from Constantinople, of the 30th, speak again
of the great dissatisfaction manifested by the Ambassa-
dors at the return of the combined squadron to Beicos
Bay, and one letter states that so angry was Lord Strat-
ford, that he declined seeing tne officers who went to ♦isit
him. No political importance whatever is attached to
the slight change which has taken place in the Turkish
Cabina.

A letter from Toulon, of the 10th inst., states that the
ship of the line, Duperre, is about to be fitted out for
sea forthwith. The ship of the line Marengo is to receive
a supply of stores for the squadron at Constantinople ;
and the steam-frigate Albatros, now in the roads, has
received orders to take in provisions and stores for three
months.

A letter from the frontiers of Poland announces that
a pressing order had arrived at Warsaw from St.
Petersburg to suspend the order to send forward
troops. This measure is attributed to the fermen-
tation which is manifested in that part of the Russian
empire.
Travellers from Kiew report that the roads are covered
with troops in full-march. Russian officers told them
that the army on the Danube would soon exceed 200,000
men. Considerable reinforcements were en route from
Moscow.

A letter from Vienna, dated the Bth, asserts that
Count Orloff did apply to the Austrian Government for
its consent to the passage of a Russian army through
Servia, the generals in Wallachia having declared to the
Emperor that an attack upon Kalafat, without the aid
of reinforcement, would be a work of great difficulty and
danger. This letter states that the Austrian Govern-
ment refused, at the earnest request of the Prince of
Servia, to comply with the wish of the Emperor of
Russia.

Private letters from Sebastopol state that an English
steamer had been wrecked at Janikole, near Sebastopol,
on the 30th January. She was declared a good prize,
having Turkish troops on board.
According to advices from the theatre of war in Asia
up to the 20th of January, Prince Woronzoff was still ill.
Schamyl had received from Turkey a large store of
arms and money. He had also been joined by some of-
ficers to drill his men. He was pushing forward his ar-
maments with great energy, and almost all Albasia had
pronounced in his favour.

SOUTH AMERICA•

By the Royal mail steam-ship Thames, Captain

The Thames has experienced strong north-east winds
from the period of leaving the Brazil coast till her ar-
rival at Southampton. She sailed from Rio de Janeiro
four days after the departure of the South American and
General Steam Navigation Conopany's steamer Lusi-
tana, which reached Liverpool on Friday
d lastd. The
Thames called, however,
at two ports in addition to
those touched at by the Lusitania, and hence the advan-
tage of the voyage is in her favour.
The Royal mail steamer Camilla left Rio de Janeiro
for the River Plate on the 12th ult. The Great
Western, with the outward mails of the Bth of January,

sailed from St. Vincent's for the Brazils on the 23d nit.
The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's steamer
Mauritius, bound to the Cape, was at St. Vincent's on
the 31st, as also the screw steamship Cleopatra, from
Australia, bound to Liverpool. The steamer Brasileira
had arrived out at Bahia in 20A days from Liverpool.
From Buenos Ayres we have accounts to the 2d of
January. The news is, on the whole favourable. The
money-market continued quiet, with a slight downward
tendency, The Minister of Finance had presented the
budget for the current year ; the estimated expenditure
was about 50,000,000 currency, leaving an estimated
deficit of nearly 5,000,000.
Her Majesty's ship Locust and United States' steamer
Savannah were at Montevideo ; her Majesty's ship
Vixen, at Buenos Ayres at Rio de Janeiro, her Ma-
jesty's steamer Centaur (Rear-Admiral Henderson), her
Majesty's steamer Sharpshooter, the Madagascar, and
brig Express. The Russian frigate Diana, of 50 guns,
was also lying there. The United States' brig Bain-
bridge sailed on the 14th of January for the River Plate.
Her Majesty's steamer Trident was at Bahia. At St.
Vincent's, the United States' frigate Constitution, from
the African Coast.
