FRANCE.

The Emperor received to-day the manufacturers
who have come up from the departments, and con-
versed with them on the great subject of the day
—the reforms in the tariff.

The effect of the Emperor's letter in the depart-
ments has been most favourable. Accounts floan
Havre inform us that the principal merchants in
that town hailed the letter as a great event, and that
flags were raised as a mark of rejoicing precisely as
after the battles of Magenta and Solferino.

The Pope's protest against the pamphlet i‘ La
Pape et le Congres" is said positively to have been
brought from Rome by the Nuncio's Secretary. If
the protest has no effect in drawing forth a dis-
avowal of it, the French Government are to be
called upon to recall their army from Rome. The
resolution to this effect was agreed to in a full
Council of Cardinals, at which such unanimity pre-
vailed that those members of the Sacred College
who had most widely and longest dissented from
Cardinal Antonelli became reconciled to him.
According to these accounts there was unusual
accord among all to defend the territory by all
means in their power. It is not said whether the
protest has as yet been presented, though it is very
probable.

On the Ist inst. her Majesty's ship Styx had left

The Gorgon was at Grey Town ; the Imaum,
Valorous, and Cossack at Port Royal ; the Jasper,
gunboat, at Carthagena ; the Racecourse at Ha-
vannah ; and the Alert at Panama.

The ships at St. Thomas were all free from fever.
A few cases were reported on shore, including the
death, on the 23d ult,, of Mr. John Kains, General
Surveyor of the Post-offices in the West Indies.

The Atrato has accomplished the voyage in 171
days, although only able to use one engine, the
other being disabled on her voyage out. She left
St. Thomas at 5.30 p,m. on the Ist inst., accom-
panied by the Medway as a precautionary measure,
but the latter was left astern the same night, and
was not seen afterwards.

At noon on the 28th ult., in lat. 17 51 N., long.
74 51 W., the British barque Washington, from
Sunderland, bound to Havannah, was spoken by the
Royal Mail steamer Teviot, arrived at St. Thomas.
Ten convicts, who recently escaped from Cayenne
in a boat, had arrived at Demerara. Carlo de
Rudio, one of Orsini's accomplices in the attempt
to assassinate Louis Napoleon, was one of the party,
but left them at Berbice.

The rainy season had set in at Demerara.
Exports for the fortnight included 3,267 hhds.,
113 tierces, 39 barrels, 324 bags sugar.
At Grenada the weather was fine, and crops on
the ground promising.
Another fire had occurred at Valparaiso.
The Republic was quiet, and public works pro-
gressing favourably.
A company had been formed to establish a bank
of discount and issue, to be called the bank of Chili,
to start with a capital of 400,000 dols.
General Velasco, ex-President of Bolivia, died at
Santa Cruz on the 17th of November.
The dates from Salvador are to December 10.

The British Minister had concluded a treaty with
Honduras, which was considered likely to satisfy
both the British and United States Governments.

to 25 per cent. for United States, American gold

mium, English gold 20 per cent. on five dollars.
Freights continued at 15 dollars to the United
States, £3 to Europe, and £3 ss. to the West In-

The markets at Valparaiso were dull, and few
vessels had arrived witn cargoes. The season had

smut were entertained.

Paris, 465 per dollar, 90 days; United States, 10
per cent. par, 60 days.
Business at St. Thomas on the 31st ult. was

4.97 e for 60 days, and 5 for 30 days; 505 to 515
for 90 days on Paris ; 426 for 90 days on Hamburg.
