FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The Emperor yesterday received several foreign•
ers of distinction, who were presented to his Ma-
jesty by the British ambassador and the Prussian,
Brazilian, and Dutch ministers.

The Moniteur briefly announces the exchange
of the ratifications of the treaty of peace yesterday
afternoon, and states that the treaty and the docu-
ments connected with it will be published in its
columns to-morrow. The treaty which, with the
annexes and the protocols, forms a volume of up-
wards of 200 pages, has been printed at the Tin-
primerie Imperiale, and between 2,000 and 3,000
copies have been struck off. It is probable that
each of the senators and deputies will receive a
copy.

The Moniteur says :—" The information which
we receive as to the state of the crops of every
kind in the neighbourhood of Paris is most satis-
factory. The mildness of the temperature during
the last few days and the abundant rain which has
fallen have given a surprising impulse to vegeta
tion in our fields and meadows. At Argenteuil,
at Suresne, and other localities, the wines of which
supply a large part of the consumption of Paris,
the vineyards look remarkably flourishing, and no
trace of disease is to be seen. It will be thus per-
ceived that the influence of the lone rousse, which
is now nearly at its close, has been most benignant."

AUSTRALIA.

The colonial trading screw steamer Hellespont
arrived at Singapore March 19, with a large mail
for Europe, consisting of 28 boxes and several bags
of letters from Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide,
from which places news has been received to the
middle of February.
Sydney papers to Feb. 13 are chiefly taken up in
discussing the elections under the new constitution,
which were then going forward. There was no
other political intelligence of importance. The
markets were looking up, and the general prospects
of the colony very satisfactory. Intelligence had
been received, via Portland Bay, of the total loss
of the Aberdeen clipper Varoon, 800 tons, between
Cape Northumberland and Rivoli Bay ; all on
board must have perished, the vessel being
literally smash° 1 to pieces ; some bodies were
found on the beach fearfully mangled by the vio-
knee of the wreck, and were decently buried by
the inhabitants. The Yaroon was from Manila to
Sydney, with a full cargo of sugar and other pro-
duce for the use of the colony. The papers also
announce the loss of the American clipper Rein-
deer, belonging to Messrs. E. Gassett and Co., of
Boston, which struck on an unknown rock outside
Torres Straits and foundered. The crew suffered
severely, being 42 days in open boats, subsisting
on shell-fish, and were so completely exhausted
that, on reaching Moreton Bay, they had to be
lifted out of the boats, not having strength to
stand or walk.
Melbourne papers are to the 18th Feb. Acting-
Governor Macarthur had succeeded in forming a
Ministry, and was consolidating the new Govern-
ment to the satisfaction of the greater part of the
colonists. His Excellency was gaining golden
opinions by his prudent conduct and determina-
tion. The yields at the gold fields were undimi-
nished. From January Ito February 15, 1856,
there had been shipped 381,681 ounces of gold, or
16 tons, 2 qrs. 6 lbs. 9 oz., which at 80s., amounted
to 1,538,7211. The price of gold had advanced to
3/. 16s. per ounce. There had been severe floods at
the Bendigo diggings, doing much damage ; the
losses were estimated at 10,000 ounces. Some riots
had taken place at the diggings, the diggers being
desirous to obtain the Government reserves of land,
on which to carry on their mining operations.
Mr. Gavin Duffy, late of the Aation newspaper,
had arrived and been entertained at Melbourne.
The dinner ended in a riot. Mr. Duffy had dis-
claimed all intention of carrying on agitation,
professing to devote himself to his profession—
the bar.
