FRANCE.

Surprise is felt that General Raudon should be
spoken of as the successor to General Rostolan, in-
stead of sending such a man as General Bedeau to
Rome.

The President of the Republic reviewed this day,
in the Champ de Mars, six regiments of infantry,
who have been ordered to different places of tha first
military districts to perform garrison duty. This is
the sole motive for the change. Whatever may have
been the doubts entertained previuusly to the 13th of
June as to the fidelity of the army, I am assured on
good authority that nothing is more certain than that
should an emergency arise (of which there is, happily,
no likelihood at this moment) the army would, to a
man, defend the Government.

The following is the speech delivered by the Mayor
of Sens on proposing the health of the President of
the Republic :
"I propose the health of the President of the Repub-
lic as a testimony of the lively and profound gratitude
felt by the country towards the Head of the Govern-
ment, labouring incessantly for the happiness of the
people who elected him, and for the glory and pros-
perity of the country—striving to re-establish credit
and confidence, to restore the sources of employment,
to strengthen the Republic, to protect property, family
ties, and religion—in fact, all the great interests of
society, so audaciously attacked in our days—and,
finally, to efface the trace of our discords. France, who
remembers with religious veneration the great things
which are done for her, can never forget what he will
have accomplished for the well-being of the country. See
how his mere presence here has already revived amongst
our patriotic populations all the ideas of glory, all the
noble sentiments of a past time, the immortal tradition
of which will for ever constitute the pride of the high-
spirited children of France ! And it is his name, his name
alone, which produces that effect, which exercises that
kind of fascination which calls to mind all those glo-
rious reminisences which generate in every heart those
enthusiastic bursts of eternal gratitude towards the
great man who was able to raise so high the fl'g
of France, and whose all-powerful genius knew how
to make of the French nation the first people of the
globe. Let me be permitted, Monsieur le President, to
offer you, in the name of the population of Sens, of whom
I am happy and proud to be tho organ, the solemn eso
pression of the sentiment of lively and true heartfelt
joy which they all experience at finding you in the
midst of them there are remembrances of this
kind which are never effaced! Also, I know not what
charm, what sentiments of happiness are connected with
certain unforeseen situations in life! Thus, it appears
as if we had more faith, more confidence, more security
in the future, for the reason that we have seen that we
have touched so closely with heart and eyes him who
holds in his hands the destinies of the country, and who
points out from on high by precept, by example, by.dig-
nified and noble language, the duties of a good eittam;
and it is such citizens that constitute the force and glory
of a country. Vive le President de la Rapubliquel
The President then rose and made the following
reply :
" A year ago this day I was exiled—proscr:be3 If
I had desired to place my foot on the French territory,_,
the entrance would have been interdicted to me. lo
day I am the recognised Chief et la grande. nation.
Who caused this chanr,e in my destiny? It was you—
it was the department of the Yonne, who, in electing
me a representative of the people, recalled me to
my country. You thought, gentlemen, that my name
would be useful to France. You said to yourselves
that, a stranger to all parties, I was hostile to none, and
that, in uniting under the same fig all the men de-
votsd to our country, I might serve as a rail; ire point
at a moment at which p_:rtiess seemed inretereecl)
hostile one to the other.—(Applause.) The depart-
meat of the Yonne gave zhe example, an example
which was followed, which was con:agious, inasmuch
as at a later period Franco gave me 6,000,00) votes.—
(Prolonged bravos.) I have long desired to be in the
midst of )ou. I wished to see with my own eyes those
whose suffrages went to seek me in a foreign land.—(Tre-
mendoue applause, and cries of Viva Louis Nspe-
Icon !') Ido not thank you for having given me
power,
for power is a heavy harden; but what I thank you for
is to have opened to me the gates of my country. I
could have wished to have gone as for as Tonerre, as
I should then have been more in the centre of the
department to express to it my graitude, but circum-
stances and want of time have prevented me from so
doing. I deeply regret it. Permit me, then, gentlemen,
to give a toast not only to the town of Sens, but to all
the department of the Yonne. Believe that I shall
always be worthy of the confidence which you have
expressed to me in so touching a manner.—(Renewed
applause.) To the town of Sees! To all the depart,
ment of the Yonne !"—(Enthusialic shouts, and cries o
" Vive Napoleon!" " Vive le President!')

ROME.
Some accounts state that little zeal is evidenced by
the people for liberal reforms, the masses being
strangely ignorant.

SIIGAR,—To-day the West India Sugar market pre-
sented a firm appearance, and the rates of Friday
were obtained for all sorts. There was a much
better demand for refining purposes, and grec, rs
were were buyers to a fair extent. The
purchases amounted to 700 hhd; &e., including
a public sale of 105 hhds Barbadoes, which went at
steady rates; fine yellow at 393 6d to 40s Gd, and mid-
dling to good at 37s 6d to 393 per cwt. The quantity
of Sugar on offer to-day Wai less than for some time
past, and holders have more confidence.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was dealt in with
caution for home trade purposes, and rather lower ra.es
were accepted. Sales of brown Lumps were made at
47s 64 to 48s, and fair grocery 48s 6d to 49g. d
Crushed Sugar met with a brisker sale at 29s to 303
per cwt.
MAURITIUS —This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was
dealt in with more freedom by private treaty at former
rates, and none was offered at public sale.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was more activity
in the market for Bengal Sugar; 3,744 bags at auction
all sold—good yellow, like Mauritius 38s 6d to 394, fine
39s 65 to 403 6d, middling 37s 64 to 313-3, fine strong
yellow 41s Gd to 42s 6d, mid soft ye flow 35s to 365, good
37a to 381, fine grainy 43s Cl to 44.3 6.1. Madras met
with a better sale :by private treaty, and full rates were
paid.
FOREIGN —To-day there was no public sale of
,Foreign
Sugar, and by private treaty little
con-
cluded; there are also free sellers at
fernier rates.
LUSIIIESS was
MoLassEs.—Only a limited busrneEs
.has been con-
cluded in West India, and a desire isevinced to sell at
from 16s to 18s 6d for low to. fine quality. East hora
Treacle has been dealt in with caution, and sellers are
ready to accept 15s to 15s 6d per cwt: there is a fair
amount on offer.

Tellieherry Coffee, at 4d duty, went at stiff rates, fine

ra'.et d.

COCOA.—Foreign continues to meet with little attrn-
ion, although there are sellers at the moderate rates
of 263 to 28s per ewt, end the stock does not get
smaller. Fine red West India is still in scanty sup
1.11, and is wanted at fair rate se but inferior
plentiful, end as there is not many buyers prices
ere on the decline ; there la, however, still a greater
consumption than in the former year, but the stock is
heavier. For grey Trinidad the value is from 38a to
425, and red 40s to 50s per cae. From present rates
little variation is expected to take place, as there is no
prospect of a falling off taking place in the consumption.
Tee.—There is no variation to record in the value of
Black, and the market has a firm aspect, but only a
limited business has been concluded during the late
few dep. The value of common and good ord sound
Congou eal to 10d, and only a limited quantity
is on offer. Full rates asked for Green, yet
only a limited trade has been done since our last

good demand, and stiff rates are paid. Public sales of
Tea are advertised for Tuesday next; at present 10,000
pkgs are declared.

realise, and submitted to a reduction on former rates of
6d per cwt. At auction 3,500 bags went from 9s to lOs
for mid nod good white, and at 7s 61 to 8s for low
broken. Other sorts of East India are not much wanted,
and must be quoted rather cheaper. At auction 860 bags
of p7nky white Madras were sold at 83 to 8s 6d. The
value of cargo is 7s 3d to 7s 6d, and pearl barley 8a to
8a 6d per cwt, but the supply consists chiefly of white
Rice of the better sorts. Cleaned Rice continues in ex-
cellent request; town dressed Carolina at 23s to 28s, and

Flour is worth 233 to 245. Tapir ca is scarce. For
Arrowroot rather lower rates have been acceded to.

been small, and there is a desire to sell proof at Is 3d to

sold at is 4id to is 53. Demerara has been operated
in with caution, and can be obtained at is 10d
to 23 6d for 23 to 40 per cent. over proof. For
Jamaica the market is still in a quiet state, shippers and
home dealers purchasing with caution, and the market
is well supplied with low and good mid, but fine is in
small supply. There are sellers of 20 to 29 per cent
over proof at 2s 2d to 2s 6d; 30 to 29 over 2s 7d to 3s.
end favorite marks 3s 3d to 4s. Brandy continues in ex•
cellent demand, and an impression exists that prices will
rule higher. The value of Cognac best brands of the
vintage of 184 S is 4s to 4s 2d,1847 ditto 4s 6d to 5s Bd,
184 G ditto 5s 8d to 5s 10d, 1845 ditto 5s 10d to 6s,
inferior marks 2s 6I to 3s 10J, and Thrceaux 2s 2d to
2s 3d. Geneva has been in fair demand at is 9d tu

9s 83, and for fine at 93 81, and for Gin at 8s to 8s 6:1
for 17 and 22 per cent under proof.

but the whole sold. Fur white a fair sale
exists at 41 to Bd. A good trade exists for
Nutmegs, and full rates are paid. A public sale of

A Snir's MAST SHIVERED BY LIGHTNINGo
'c
DEAL.--During the thunder storm, about eight
on Sunday evening, the electric fluid struck the foremast
of a barque in the Downs with so much force as to
o'clock
splinter its whole extent in various direction:. On Mon-
day the temperature was oppressiv,ly sultry, and the sky
threatening; nothing extraordinary, however, took place
until the evening about six o'clock.; when the lurid clouds which had been scattered about during the day, seemed
to merge in one dense mass. The rain now began to
pour down in torrents, and the storm with one brief in-
termission continued to rage nearly four hours. Nothing
could exceed the vivid intensity of the lightning, and
several peals of thunder were remarkable for the appal-
ling sharpness with which they struck the car. Report
says that a boatman named Verrier, residing inlValmer-
road, was struck by the lightning, from the effects of
which he 30014 however, recovered.
