PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING
The Moniteur officially confirms the account we.
have already given of the appointment of Aide-de-
camp General Count Kisseleff, Minister of the Do-
mains, as Russian ambassador at Paris.
The Moniteur is silent on the subject of the
Spanish coup d'etat.
Lord Lyndhurst's speech on Italian affairs is
given at great length.
An Imperial decree, dated from Plombieres,
directs the session of all the councils-general of the
empire, with the exception of that of the Seine,
to be commenced on August 25, and closed, at the
latest, on Sept. 8.
The arrival of Marshal Pelissier in France
(says the Courrier de '.lidarteille) is likely to
be again retarded. From inforMation which we
have every- reason to believe exact, 'we are
enabled to announce that the Conimander-in-Chief
of the Army of the East need /not be expected be-
fore the end of the month. This new delay will be
caused by a visit which the marshal is to make to
Athens, in order to ascertain from personal obser-
vation the political situation cf 'Greece. After-
wards, Marshal Pelissier will decide whether an end
ought to be put to the occupation of the Piraeus
by the French troops, or whether the forces belong-
ing to Fra.nce in Greece ought to be diminished or
increased."
"The Duchess of Berry," says the Union, " has
placed at our disposal the sum of 5,000 fr. to be dis
tributed among the departments which have suf
fored most from the inundations."

SOUTH A.MPTON, THURSDAY EVENING.
By the Royal mail steam-ship Tyne, Captain
Valler, with the West Indian and Pacific mails,
we have dates from Carthagena, June 25 ; Hon-
duras June 17 ; Jamaica, June 26 ; Greytowu ;
June 'l9 ; Chagres, Juno 23; Demerara, June 26,
Tobago and Barbadoes, June 27 ; Trinidad and
Grenada, June 28 ; and St. Thomas's, July 2.
The Tyne brings 128 passengers, 1,015,687 dols.
in specie, and a moderate cargo.
Our last advices from Jamaica extend to the
27th ult. Much regret-. .vas felt at Sir H. Barkly
being transferred to the government of Victoria
instead of being permitted to remain, in order to
complete the working of the new system of go-
vernment recently established. in Jamaica.
The new courts had been opened in Kingston
under the Judicial Amendment Bill, which ap-
peared to work well. The weather was intensely
hot, and there had been frequent indications of
rain, which was required.
There were but a few cases of fever at Kingston
when the steamer left, and the mortality was very
trifling. Much interest appeared to be manifested
in favour of Captain Charles
.Heury Dowling, the
present Governor of Newfoundland, as the suc-
cessor of Sir H. Barkly in the government of
Jamaica. His administrative ability was well
known and appreciated by the inhabitants. The
French brig Moine, from Aux Cayes, bound to
Bordeaux, put into Port Royal on the 25th ult.,
having sprung a leak.
There is little alteration in the Jamaica market.
A. considerable addition of American butter had
taken place, and prices were reduced. Sugar was
being sold at 20s. to 235. The tobacco market was
depressed in consequence of large arrivals. Ex-
change-60 days, 11- per cent. premium.
At Trinidad the weather had been exceedingly
wet. In the market the flour was $lO 50c. Tho
supply had not exceeded the demand. Corn meal
continued scarce, and the want of it was much
felt.
At Demerara the taxation of the colony was con-
siderably felt, the amount required for the public
service this year being equivalent to one-fourth the
produce of the entire colony. Money was being ad-
vanced to prevent future encroachments of the
sea. The weather was favourable for agricultural
operations, and the estates were busy with the
crops; but business among the merchants was dull,
and reights scarce.
Intelligence from Barbadoes states the health of
the island to be rood ; rain was wanted, the drought
causing the young cane crop to be stunted and un-
healthy in its growth. The present year's crop was
finished. Several vessels in the bay were being
loaded as rapidly as possible. The following pro-
duce had been shipped to the 26th ult. :—Sugar,
35,494 hogsheads, 2,418 tierces, 8,828 barrels,
equal to 38,348 hogsheads ; molasses, 6,827 pun-
cheons, 167 hogsheads, 327 barrels ; rum, 968
puncheons, 146 hogsheads ; cotton, 35 bales ; aloes,
368 gourds.
News from Grenada to the 28th ultimo states
that the Legislature would meet on the Ist prox.
The weather continued favourable for agricultural
purposes, and the planters were busily engaged.
Gen. Walker was at Granada, the capital of
Nicaragua; and receiving reinforcements from the
United States (of about 160 men in May and June),
which about make up his losses by cholera, Zze. '
The army of Costa Rica has retreated withinjts
oWn tertitory, panic-stricken by the ravages of aiS•
ea§e. The Costa Rican exchequer is empty. It is
alleged that the envoy of Costa Rica has induced
the Government of Guatemala to join Honduias ,`
and San Salvador iu an expedition with 1,000 men, .
with field-pieces, to co-operate against ,Walker,
and that the President-General Carrara will march
at the head of a formidable body in the month of ,
July. Guatemala is in other respects tranquil,
developing its internal resources. Coffee and sugar,
are successfully raised, and it is believed the latter ,
will this year become an article of export. The
cochineal crcp has been a fair average in quantity,
i but of indifferent quality.
The frigates Susquehanna and Eurydice met,
saluted, and parted most cordially at Greytown.
H.B.M.'s steamer Hermes arrived at Greytown
June 16, left June 18. The yellow fever had car-
ried off 60 of the crew of tho frigate Malacca at
Port Royal, and she had left for Halifax.

The following were the movements of her Ma-
jesty's ships :—At Port Royal, Jamaica, H.M.S.
Hermes and Amphion. H.M.S. Malacca was at
Bermuda, much yellow fever and desertion on
board. Monarch left Callao for Homololo. Pre-
sident expected at Valparaiso. Trincomalee left
Valparaiso for Vancouver's Island ; Cockatrice on
the Pacific Coast of Mexico ; and Brisk had left
Valparaiso for Panama ; Alarm and Havannah on
the coast of California ; Eurydice at Greytown, in
perfect health ; Arachne at Island of Trinidad.
