tb consequent abandonment of the blockailet
cording to the Journal de Pttri, cicSpate6s had been
received by the Minister of Marine to that effect, but
the Govet-nment deemed it proper to conceal the
proposals contained in them. Fresh instructions
bad been sent to Admiral BA uDIN? who was
not expected trn. leavot tht Lay of Cadiz for
some time longer. Whether this report be title
we know not, but it is very like)y- that France
may be anxious to get out of the scrape in which she
has so wantonly involved herself, as sPeellilY as kIiAY
consist with her exalted ideas of h r own national dig-

It seems that news from Mexico has been received by the
Minister of Marine, respecting which it is thought proper at
present to observe silence. However, the reports of an ar-
rangement gain credit, end the squadron of Admiral Baudin
may remain stationary longer than was expected at Cadiz.
Fresh instructions have just been sent from Brest ; the
officer to whom the mission is entrusted set out yesterday,
and orders have been forwarded in the course of the day,
by the telegraph, to keep the men on board, in order to
put to sea immediately.—Le Commerce.
A fisherman, near Saint Malo, lately found on the shore a
small casket, wrapped in cloth, and containing a chaplet, a
scapulary, and a writing, purporting to be the last will of
Father Alexis, a Franciscan friar and missionary, dated in
1776, in which he recommends to Lcuis XV. those countries
which have not been visited by the Lord. This was, it ap-
pears, put into the casket at the moment when the ship
Sainte Marie, or Sainte Marine (which is not perfectly clear),
was supposed to be on the point of foundering, and the casket
must therefore have been buffeted about by the waves for 62
years.
A few days ago a M. Royer, a Greffier of the Commercial
Tribunal of Mirecourt, in the Vosges, while out shooting, was
pursued by a Garde Champetre, to avoid whom he plunged bag
and baggage into the river. Having reached the centre of the
stream he was unablo to swim further, and sunk under the eyes
of the Garde Champetre, who offered not the slightest assist-
ance, and made his declaration of the fact only the next day
to the authorities.
A young couple at Bar-le-Due, who are always quarrelling,
recently fought a regular duel with sabres. The husband hav-
ing been wounded in the sword-arm by his better half, honour
was satisfied, and a reconciliation ensued, but whether it will
be durable time must show.
The return of M. Montalivet is expected to-morrow, the
1 ilth. M. Bomvilliers, counsel of Gen. Brossard, has re-
turned to Paris.
We have the following letter from Toulon, Sept. 12
" The Jupiter, of the line, on board which Rear-Admiral
Gallois has hoisted his flag, is expected every day at our port;
and the Triton, which is to take its place, is making prepara-
tions to depart.
" The mail from the Levant must soon arrive—it is impa-
tiently expected. It will doubtless announce the sailing of
the Turkish fleet under the command of the Capitan Pacha,
from Tripoli, in Barbary. On the 20th August this fleet was
preparing to quit Smyrna.
" M. de Latour Maubourg, ambassador of France at Rome,
has arrived at Toulon to-day. The Tartar, Government
steam-beat, which is to take him to Civita Vcchia,
will not depart for these two days, his Excellency wishing
to visit the curiosities of our city."
M. de Gaspain, Peer of France, formerly Minister of the
Interior, is now at Marseilles.
M. Dupuch, Bishop of Algiers, has returned to Paris. It
is affirmed that the ceremony of his consecration will take
place at Bordeaux.—Le Constitutionnel.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 17.—The Commercial Council in its sit-
ting on Thursday last, directed that the military school shall
be established in the building now occupied by the Athenaeum,
and that the latter shall be transferred to the Hotel of Spielberg.
The Minister of War went, on the 11th, to Termoade, to in-
spect the barracks and cavalry stables in that town. He like-
wise visited the arsenal and the great depot of arms, and also
the powder magazine.
We announced some time ago that the Prussians would
have a camp for the exercise of the troops near Pert and Potch,
not far from the frontier of Luxemburgh, opposite Remich.
Our information was correct. The reviews will take place
at the beginning of next week, and will continue for some
days. The total number of the troops will be 12,000 men.
There will be infantry, cavalry, and artillery, but no Landwehr.
We do not think that there is the slightest reason to be
alarmed at these military evolutions. Every body in Prussia
is persuaded that the Prussian Government will not, and
cannot, undertake anything to interrupt the state of peace. It
aims only at maintaining its authority in the countries subject
' to it, without being disposed to run any risk for the sake of
those with which it may sympathise. On the other hand, the
people are indisputably very discontented ; they must be kept
in check, and what proves that no confidence is placed in
them is, that the Government no longer ventures to assemble
the Landwehr as it used to do. The army itself cannot in-
spire more confidence, the numerous desertions which always
take place, when the neighbours receive the deserters, prove
what might be feared incase of war, and to this must be added
the want of union between the soldiers of the old provinces
and those of the conquered provinces, which has lately shown
itself by facts which cannot be misunderstood.—Echo du
Luxembourg.
BRUSSELS, SETT. 18.—Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg,
father of King Ferdinand of Portugal, will pass through
Brussels in the course of October, on his way to England and
Portugal. His son, Prince Alexander, will accompany him.
MuNICII, SEPT. 11.—The King's health is decidedly im-
proving ; though the physicians are said to urge great
caution that his Majesty may not exert himself beyond his
strength.
Count Nesselrode leaves Munich to-day, and will go direct
to Berlin.
WIEMAR. Sari. 12.—Her Majesty the Empress of Russia
and the Grand Duchess Alexandrine arrived here yesterday
morning between 10 and 11 o'clock, and his Royal Highness
Prince William of Prussia (the King's son) at 1 o'clock, from
the Rhenish provinces._Frankfort Paper, Sept. 14.

LLOYD'S —A General Meeting of the Subscribers was

port of the Committee relative to the affairs of that establish-
ment, at which a piece of plate was voted to the Secretary,
and gratuities to the other officers and servants of the esta-
blishment, as a mail of the special approbation of the sub-
scribers, at the manner in which they undertook the increased
duties and labours which devolved upon them in consequence
of the destruction of their former rooms by fire.
