" On the same day, the Banshee steamer left,'
with atputy-Assistant C,,mmissioners-General
Potgerton and Blackwood. On the 6th, the Kan-
. garoo steamer, with 32 officers, 892 non-commis-

on the 7th, the Ardent steamer, with five officers
, and 220 non-commissioned officers of the 50th,
towing the Georgina sailing transport, having
On board one officer and twenty-nine privates of
the 50th, and 110 women of this and other
regiments, besides twenty-three Maltese carters

Means au efficient vessel, but as the weather con-
, tinues fine, will ho doubt do her work. The Vesu-
'• vius, having her boilers out, received on board 21
officers, 536 non-commissioned officers and privates
and four women, of the 28th, and towed by the
Cyclops, having on board other 12 officers, 348 non-
, commissioned officers, and two women of the same
regiment, left on the evening of the 7th.
" The Himalaya will be clear of her cargo, and

regiment, the 77th, and detachments ; and the
• . Emu, arrived last night from Constantinople with
' • 'wheat for the naval department, will be discharged
during the day and leave to-morrow with troops,
towing the Apollo with more. The Sultan, ex-
pected hourly from Southampton for Crinstantino-
ple, will carry to Gallipoli as many as she can ac-
commodate with the, cargo she has on board. The
Guards will probably have to await the return of
• the Himalaya.
" The Emu brings intelligence frornaConstanti-

tion for five consecutive nights in honour of the late
• .victories over the Russians, after these latter crossed
the Danube. A fear was entertained that there
would be a rising of the Greeks, and many bad
• subjects had been ordered away. The combined

Javarna Bay on the 26th, a place of excellent shel-

The Inflexible had landed a regiment of
Ottoman riflemen at Varna. On the 27th the Sidon,
Firebrand, and Magellan were despatched from the
fleet to ascertain if any attempts are being
made by the Russians to throw in supplies to
their troops now that they have crossed the
-Danube, and have brders to bring in any Russian
vessels they may find so engaged, or within Turkish
wafers. On the 28th the French fleet shifted berth
further towards Balgich, and were followed by the
British fleet on the 29th, to be more handy for
r
Turks
any assistance, in case of need, to the
trixurks, should these be driven into a retreat. The

In the afternoon, his Majesty the Ein:Jeror did the
honours by conducting his Royal Highness to the
promenade of Longchamps in his private carriage,
the Emperor himsef driving ; and, with the affa-
bility for which he is remarkable, afterwards con-
ducted the Prince to the eini assy. His Excellency
Lord Cowley in the evening gave a splendid
banquet in honour of his illustrious guests, to
which a number of the principal English residents
and visitors now in Paris were invited. The com-
pany included the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton,
the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, the Earl of
Malmesbury, the Earl and Countess of Sefton and
the Countess of Granville, Viscount and Viscoun-
tess Sydney, Sir Laurence and Lady Jane Peel,
Lady Molesworth, Right Hon. E. Ellice, Sir H.
Ellis, 47,c. ; the Marquis de Toulongeon, Colonel
Fleury, &c. On dinner being announced, the
splendid band of the Guides, which was in atten-
dance, struck up " Partant pour la Syrie," and
continued playing at intervals during the banquet.
At the dessert the Duke of Cambridge, in a brief
but well-turned speech, proposed the health of his
Majesty the Emperor, which was drunk with much
enthusiasm, after which the band struck up
" God save the Queen." The usual toasts fol-
lowed, and the party separated at a late hour.
One of the French morning papers states that the
Duke of Cambridge and suite will leave Paris to-
morrow, but our contemporary has been misin-
formed, as we believe the Prince and suite have
accepted invitations to dine with his Imperial
Highness Prince Jerome.
The fleet under Admiral Parseval-Deschenes

The Senate met on Thursday to examine the
bill lately adopted by the Legislative Corps to
increase from 80,000 to 140,000 the contingent
of 1853. M. Baroche, President of the Council
of State, General Allard, 2resident of the Sec-
tion, and MM. Villeinain and Petitet, Councillors
of State, were present, as Government Commis-
sioners. Taking into consideration the character
of urgency which marked the bill, the Senate
withdrew at once to its bureaux, and named a
committee, composed of Marshal Magnan, Gen.
Gemeau, Gen. Baron Achard, Admiral Count
Cecille, and Gen. the Marquis d'Hautpoul, to re-
port on the measure. After an hour's suspension,
the public sitting was resumed, and Geu. the Mar-
quis d'Hautpoul presented the report, which was
altogether in favour of the bill. The Senate then
proceeded to the discussion, and declared unani-
mously, by 103 votes, that it did not oppose the
promulgation of the bill. The proceedings then
terminated.

April 1.3. —lt is quite decided that the

excuse is the lowness of the Rhone, but the true
cause is the fear of the effects of the brandy and

From these returns it appears that the metallic
reserve has advanced 44 millions in Paris and 33
millions in the branch banks. The discount accom-
modation has increased 5 millions in Paris and de-
clined 4 millions in the departments. The advances
on French rente have declined 31 millions in
Paris, and 11 million in the departments. Advances
on railway shares and bonds have fallen off 6i
millions in Paris, and 1 million in the branch
banks. On the side of the liabilities, the notes in
circulation have diminished 1 million in Paris, and
2i millions in the provinces. The accounts current
of the public have increased 40 millions in Paris,
and 5 millions in the departments. The whole
amount of the metallic reserve is at present 367
millions to 595 k millions of notes in circulation.
We are informed that MM. Leroy, Chabrol, and
Co., whose suspension of payments has recently
been announced, have made an offer to their
creditors to pay the whole of their debts, with
interest, within 12 months, in four quarterly in-
stalments. Creditors in Paris to the amount of
13,000,000 f. have, it is said, already assented to
this arrangemet, and it is hoped in a few days the
bankruptcy will be superseded, and the house able
to resume business. In this case, it is said that M.
Leroy will retire from the concern, and M. Chabrol
be joined by a new partner of large capital.
Public securities and railway shares experienced
yesterday a slight rise. The Three per Cents.
