The Emperor and Empress were at Havre and
Rouen yesterday, on their way to _Paris. At a
quarter past eight their Majesties landed, and the
cortege left the Quai Vidocq to proceed to the rail-
way station. At the moment when the Emperor
wts about to enter a railway carriage, he turned
towards the company present and said :
" Gentlemen,—lt was not necessary for me to
come to Havre to feel an interest in it ; neverthe-
less I am happy in having visited it a second time,
in order to receive an account of what has been
effected and what remains to be done. You have
amongst you all the elements of a great city, and I
shall devote my attention to develop them. I have
to thank you for the kind reception which you have
given to the Empress and myself ; I feel sensibly
touched by it, and shall long remember it."
This address was received with loud cheers, in the
midst of which the train moved off. The Imperial
party arrived at Rouen, a little before eleven
o'clock, and proceeded in great state amidst an
immense crown and the greatest enthusiasm to

MADRID, Augu3t Lafragua, the Mexican
envoy, has made known to the Mexican consul,
that the Spanish Government has suspended all
negotiations with him, and that consequently he
has placed the Mexican subjects in Spain under the
protection of Francs.
Accounts from Melilla to the 28th ult., stated
that the Moors had once again begun firing cannon
on the place, and had hit the Military Hospital,
though without doing it any great damage ; and
that the Spaniards were returning the fire s) vigo-
rously as to cause great loss to the assailants. The
hostilities, which had lasted three days, had so far
been to the advantage of the Spaniards. Of Spanish
news, properly so called, there is none.

battalion of Royal Artillery, stationed at St. Elmo,
addressed a most loyal letter to Captain Inglefield,
who commands them. In the letter, got up spon-
taneously at the moment of their learning the in-
dignities that Englishwomen were subjected to in
India, and signed at once by the whole of the men,
after expressing their horror and detestation of the
crimes, they earnestly solicit that they may be sent
out to fight against the dastardly rebels, and assist
in restoring our authority. To have the honour of
aiding in such a cause, they will cheerfully submit
to any privations, &e.
On the 2d, H. A.S. Arrow, Captain Henderson,

The election of a new member for the council of

Lieut. More, of the Royal Artillery, lately ac-
quitted by sentence of a court-martial, is again
under arrest on a more serious charge. He is kept
a close prisoner at St. Angelo, and no one is allowed
to communicate with him. This latter charge can
only be acounted for in the belief that his intellects
are affected. No man in his right senses would
have placed himself in a position to give rise to
such a charge,

arrest, and two other officer,.

The by-law for the 50,0001. loan has been negatived,

THE EMPEROR AND THE YACHT SQUADRON.—lmme-
diately on the arrival of the Emperor at Osborne his
Majesty sent for Mr. Hancock, of Bruton-street, and
desired him to make a handsome massive silver cup, to
be run for at the Annual Yacht Squadron Regatta.
His Majesty was at first desirous that, if possible, it
should be run for during the race which took place the
day after his arrival in this country, but in consequence
of the short space which intervened he gave up that
idea, and ordered the cup to bo executed in time to bo
sailed for early next June. It will bear the following
brief inscription :—" Presented by His Imperial Maje ty
the Emperor Napoleon 111. to the Royal Yacht Squadroa"
The Earl of Wilton, the Commodore, is to settle the condi-
tions, in order that all the yachts may be able to compete
for it. After being present at Divine service in the Roman
Catholic Chapel at Newport on Sunday, his Majesty
paid a brief visit to the Yacht Squadron elub-house at
Cowes, and expressed the gratification with which he
dad witnessed the race of the previous Thursday, and
also his intention of presenting the cup we have men-
cloned. His Majesty has since been elected an honorary
member of the club. At the request of the Empress,
who is a professed admirer of cameos and intaglios, Mr.
Hancock brought down for her inspection the celebrated
Devonshire gems, which were mounted so as to form a
complete set for the Countess Granville on the occasion
of the Moscow Coronation. These rare gems, some of
which (more especially those in the coronet) are consi-
dered the rarest in existence, will in a few days be sent
'own to Manchester for exhibition at the Art Treasures.
