Cape frontier, through the energetic measures
adopted by the Governor.

gunboat Valanche had arrived; also H.M.S.
Actaeon, and gunboat Dove, on their way to

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The tedious Neuchatel Conference has r.t length
re-assembled. It sat this day for two hours. It
was reporied that all difficulties were surmounted.
The question of the Danubian Principalities re-
mains pretty much the same as before—England
acting with Austria, and Austria opposed to the
union ; France and Sardinia in favour, and Russia
" impenetrable." It is said that a Commission,
formed in Paris, will be sent to these provinces,
with the object of examining all that relates to tlieir
agriculture, commerce, iudu-itry, topography, and
military capabilities. A report will be addressed
on these points to the French Government, who
desire to be accurately informed by means of per-
sonal observation on the spot. The Commission
will not be exclusively composed of military men,
though it is instituted by the War-office.
The Gazette de Lyon says :—"For some time
past an intended vint of the Emperor and Empress
to this city has been talked of here. The Emperor,
it is said, will remain here for a day or two, in
order to decide on the important que,tions of the
means to be adopted for preserving the city from
inundations. On leaving Lyons his Majesty will
accompany the Empress to Biarritz, by the Medi-
terranean and Southern Railways."
The Moniteur publishes the official return of the
customs receipts for the men.th of April, which
amounted to 16,104,211 francs, being 2,065,039
francs more than in the corresponding month of
last year. The comparison of the receipts for the
first four mouths of 1857 with those of 1856 shows
an augmentation of 5,253.392 francs in favour of
the former, the amounts being respectively
57,840,664 francs and 52,587,272 frai.cs. The
articles which have shown the greatest improve-
ment during the last tour months are—foreign su-
gar, 2,244,086 fr. ; French colonial sugar, 805,786
francs; coffee, 4,819,345 francs ; wine and spirits,

hempen cloths, 122,397 francs ; lim,n and hempen
thread, 24,880 fr. ; mahogany, 36,507 fr. ; corn,
31,0091. ; oleaginous seeds, 70,709?. ; sundries,
607,709 f. The items which give the greatest fall-
ing off are—raw cott ,n, 1,335,048 f. ; raw wool,
1,652,3131. ; bar iron and steel, 1,461,980 f. ; rough
castings, 84,557 f. ; cochineal, 28,9651. ; pepper,

Bc the ship Sutlej, Capt. James, which arrived
yesterday from Calcutta, we have Cape Town
papers to the 28th of March. The postnre of affairs
on she Ea-tern frontier has not been changed. The
Governor had thought it better to prolong his stay
in that quart-r, on account of the upset' led state of
affairs and the doubtful disposition of the Kaffirs,;
he had, therefore, again pror..gued the parliament
to April the 7th. His Excellency was tra--sporring
into the interior Kaffirs convicted either of stealing
cattle or of prowling in the colony without passes.
The wine growers in the.colony are full of activity
and hone. The fruit is very fine, and there is a
great deal of it. The bone manure is very popular.
The want of labour is very, much felt. A wine
cooper 'advertises in the Cape Argus for 30 men,
to whom he will give a bonus of 51., and 151. in
advance. Wine-growers complain that casks cannot
be obtained. Seventy immigrants had arrived from
St. Helena. The Argus says that they were eagerly
sought for and obtained good wages, farm labourers
from 151. to 241. a-year, with meat, drink, and
lodging ; and lads of from 14 to 17 years of age
easilyobtained situations at 121. a-year, with lodging
and board. A harbour bo ird has been establish,d.
at Simon's Town, and the improvement of the har-
bour is receiving attention. A company has been
formed to build a dock in which ships may be
promptly repaired. On the 13th of March a water-
spout burst at Simon's Town, and did much
damage. The passengers of the barque Joseph
Somes, which was burnt off the island of Tristan
d'Acuuha on the 29th of February, had arrived at
Cape Town, and, with the crew, had been treated
kindly. An account of the disaster will be found
iu another column.
