THE AZTECS AT THE ADELAIDE GALLERY.—
the removal of the Aztec Lilliputians from the Hanover
square Rooms to the Marionette Theatre, in Adelaide-
street, their popularity has very much increased, and the
same distinguished class of visitors by whom they were
honoured at one place, favours them with its patronage
at the other. The romantic tale told in connection with
them, undoubtedly renders them more mysteriously in-
teresting, but its truth or fictitiousness has very little to
do with their intrinsic attractiveness. Beings so singu-
lar, so unlike all others of the human species, so ancient-
looking, so quaint, and so amusing, have in themselves
the best story that can be told concerning them, though
the lecture which accompanies them is replete with inte-
rest, and is most pleasantly given.
THE WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.—
This society bay° this week purchased their seventh
estate, consisting of above eleven acres of building land
at Muawell-hill. From its contiguity to London, and
to the railway station, it is admirably adapted for cottage
villa residences. It is believed that it will be allotted in
time to entitle
. the allottees to be on the register for the
county of Middlesex next year.

LATE;7 FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.
The leading columns of the Paris journals con-
tinue to be almost destitute of interest. In .some
of them there is no original article on any topic,
and in others we find only repetitions.
The Empress has sent 3,000 f. to the Mayor of
St. Valery-en-Caux for the benefit of twelve widows
and thirty-three orphans, left destitute by the pre-
sumed shipwreck of the adman, a vessel of St.
Valery engaffed in the cod fishery at Newfound
land, of which no news has been heard since the
beginning of the year.
Marshal de St. Arnaud, Minister of War, will
leave Paris to-day (Saturday) to preside over the
council-general of the Gironde. He will pass in
review on Sunday the troops in garrison at Bor-
deaux. During his absence M. Ducos Minister
of Marine, will hold the portfolio of War ad
terim. M. Fould, Minister of State, has ad
taken hia departure for the Tarn to attend the sit-
tings of the council-general, M. Abbatueci,
ter of Justice, being appointed to act for him in

his absence.
The Moniteur publishes a report addressed
the Minister of the Interior to the Emperor, a 3;
llba
approved by the latter, containing a list of all the
medals awarded for acts of humanity and courage
during the first six months of .1853. The number
of gold medals is only two, but that of the silver.
medals amounts to 416, viz., 30 first class, and
second class medals. There is also a bronze
medal, awarded to a woman for her zeal in re-
storing certain drowned persons to life.
A decree has been published fixing the duties on
corn, breadstuffs, rice, and dried vegetables at
25
centimes per kilogramme. This rate of duty
remain in force up to the 31st of December next'
Up to that date the vessels of any nation whichi
shall arrive in the French ports with c,argoes
corn, breadstuffs, rice, dried vegetables, and pc'
tatoes shall be exempt from the duties on thetonnag
The Moniteur publishes a decree ordering ,
demolition of some of the present fortifications 01 ,
Havre, and the sale of the ground on account of
the Treasury, and the construction of two forts 011
the heights of Ingouville, and a redoubt on the
Place de Pro vence.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
The New Gazette of Prussia publishes a letter
from Vienna of the 14th stating that the Porte
has accepted without modification the proposition!
of the conference of Vienna. This, however, 311119

be premature.
The Nouvellisteof Hamburgh contains news from
the Danube of the 9th, which are connected Now
those which have arrived from Constantinople rela;
tive to the situation of Servia and the attitude ei
Prince Alexander. The account in the above Pur;
nal states that the approach of the Russian trour
had produced in Servia a great agitation. The g 0;
vernment had taken all the precautionary measured
necessary. All persons capable of bearing arms ha
received orders to provide themselves with aralullci
Knitschanin has, it says, been name
general-in-chief, and the heads of circles have beef
placed under his orders. " Prince Alexander,
adds the Nouvelliste, "has refused to yield to the
wishes of those persons who proposed to send an
address of devotedness to the Czar Nicholas." p_
The Journal de Constantinople states 111
Aleppo that it had been lately discovered
that a band of Mussulman malefactors we s
on the point, as in 1850, of rising aga'
the Christians in the city, but the extreme
vigilance of the Governor Suleyman Pasha, the
commandant of the garrison, defeated their schemes'
The latter frequently went in the night incogill!°
through the Turkish quarters, and one night In
three different cafes, he saw groups of suspicious'
looking characters, and found from their convere-
tion that they were engaged in the plot. Jraci
mediately reinforced all the posts of the city, au.„.s
had the cafes surrounded by troops, and by t'-`la
means a great majority of them were arrested all
sent to prison. Five of the ringleaders of the con'spiracy were taken into custody ; one of them w",
to have headed a party to set fire to the churches,
and the others are the chiefs of bands who ha'
sworn to massacre all the Christians and ping°
their property. By the promptitude of the au the;
rities on this occasion, the alarm of the Christian
has been in a great measure removed. The Patry
archs of the Greek and the Catholic Armenian
Churches have addressed a collective letter, to
Reschid Pasha, the Turkish Minister of Foreigli
Affairs, expressive of their gratitude to the Sultan
f
for his kindness towards his Christian subjects °f
Aleppo.

SPAIN.
We have received the Madrid journals of the
14th.
The Governors of the various provinces h°ll
been instructed to stop the circulation of unlicens'
newspapers.
The Gazette announces that the Queen has re:
milted the punishment of six months' impris°,-
