FRAN CE.

Military and naval preparations are going on ac
tively in various parts of France.

We learn from Cherbourg that on the 26th inst.
the Duperre ship of the line had her lower guns
removed, and was to sail with troops and storps for
the East. The Jemmapes and Inflexible were
under orders for the same destination. It is said
that the Tage, Breslau, and Duguesclin, all new
ships, are to be converted into screw-steamers.
Also, it would seem that the number of officers
and crews are to be augmented, if the Phare de la
Loire is to be credited. It contains the following
notice :—" Such captains of deep-sea trading ves-
sels as desire to enter the Imperial service as officers
are invited to present themselves at the office of
the maritime inscription at Nantes."
The Baltic squadron being no longer in existence,
Vice-Admiral Parseval-Deschenes and Rear-Ad-
miral Penaud will not resume their command until
the commencement of hostilities in the spring.

A telegraphic despatch from Madrid of the 28th
announces that Marshal Espartero has been named
President of the Cortes, and General O'Donnell
First Vice-President.
It is said in Paris that a well-laid scheme has
been formed to employ all means, good and bad,
to overthrow Espartero in favour of O'Donnell,
and then O'Donnell. Should the plot succeed,
Narvaez would be proclaimed Dictator, under the
nominal gov'ernmeut of the Queen.
The Sane, steam frigate, which had gone to the
Crimea to carry out 1,200 soldiers accustomed to
service in Algeria, has performed her mission
promptly, and has returned to France for other
troops. This frigate, which is now at Toulon, left
Sebastopol on the 15th. Up to that time no import-
ant fact beyond those already known hadtaken place
either before that place or in the neighbourhood.
Consequently, the news of an engagement on the
13th is devoid of foundation. On her way back to
France, the Sane met in the Dardanelles several
vessels laden with troops proceeding to the Crimea.
The reinforcements of every kind on board these
vessels must have arrived by the present time, and
others will follow without interruption.
PARIS. Thursday.—Closing Prices : Four-and-a-
Half per Cent. Rentes, 91f. The. ; Three per Cent.
ditto, 70f. 60c. for the end of the month.
[Our French correspondent's letter of yesterday
had not arrived when we west to press.]

TURIN, Nov. 26.—Mazzini has circulated an-
other revolutionary manifesto, in which he declares
the time to be a favourable one for revolt. At
Chambery the military do watch-duty instead of
the National Guard.
Accounts from Constantinople of the 20th repre-
sent the movement of Turkish troops as being di-
rected to ports of embarkation for the Crimea, and
not towards the Danube. A corps of 100,000
Ottomans was to be sent to Balaklava, from the
Bosphorus, and two regiments were also to em-
bark at Varna with the same destination. It is
again also reported that the entire Turkish corps
at Tschuruk-Su was to be withdrawn from employ-
ment in the Crimea.
"According to information that has reached us,"
says the Petrie, " relative to the wreck of the
Henri IV. and the Pluton corvette, it appears
that these vessels were at anchor in the roadstead
of Eupatoria, and were driven on shore by a,,,heavy
contend."

quantity of articles, taken
of Smyrna, says :—" A nuogpcl:,ulidn
from the Russians, have been brought here by per-
sons from the Allied army. I have seen sixl,aorogoe
carts filled with Russian muskets, mostly broken,
and shakos in great number. Upwards of 15
Russian muskets were found in the field after the
battle. The English and French soldiers sold them
for five piastres (about four francs and a-half,) a
piece."
The Princess Maria Anna of Dessau, the young
bride of Prince Frederick Charles, reached Char
lottenburg early on Tuesday afternoon, where she
was received by the whole of the Prussian royal
family and grand officers of the household and
State. She made her public entry into Berlin at
midday on Wednesday with all the pomp and
splendour possible. The nuptials took place in the
evening, and the festivities will continue until
Saturday, when they will terminate with a gala
ball.

The King of Hanover arrived on Tuesday even-
ing at the palace on a visit to their Majesties, and
to attend the nuptial ceremonies and festivities.
The Queen of Hanover did not accompany her royal
consort.

The Marquis do Mousticr, French envoy, bad
the honour of being received in private audience
on Tuesday, by the Prince of Prussia.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.
The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Magda-
lena has arrived. Her dates are—Vera Cruz, Nov.
%, Havana 9, Jamaica 10, Barbadoes 11, and St.
Thomas's 15.

The Magdalena has on board seventy-five pas-
sengers ; specie amounting to $2,412,600 in value,
of which $36,000 are on account of the Mexican
dividends ; a cargo of sarsaparilla, cochineal, &c.
At Jamaica little progress had been made in the
organisation of the new form of Government.
Cholera still prevailed in a mitigated form in some
parishes. The markets retained a steady aspect,
with rather an upward tendency of prices.

change
at last quotations.
At Grenada the weather was dry and hot, and
the plantations were considered as looking well.
The island was quite free from epidemic of ever/
description.
There is no particular news of importance from
the other West India islands. The cholera was
disappearing from Trinidad, but a few cases existed
at St. Kitt's. Vessels were obtaining,clean bills of
health from Barbadoes.

The weather had been generally favourable for
the crops, but the very heavy rains experienced iu
some of the islands had in many instances destroyed
the roads for a time. Heavy weather had been
experienced to the northward, and several dismasted
vessels had arrived at St. Thomas's.
