On Tuesday evening Louis received Ad-
miral Dupetit Thouars and Marshal Philippe-Valee.
Yesterday afternoon, says Galignani, three elegant
young women, followed by two servants in the royal
livery, were observed in the Palais Royal, the Rue de
Richelieu, the Passage des Panoramas, and on the
Boulevards. The ladies were the Duchesses de Ne-
mours and d'Aumnle and the Princess de Joinville,
who were visiting the different curiosity and mercery
shops.
The Arab chiefs went on Tuesday to take formal
leave of Marshal Soult, who, wishing to give them
some memorial of his good-will towards them, pre-
sented four of them with highly-enriched sabres, two
of them with equally handsome pairs of pistols, one
with a double-barrelled gun, and the other with a
valuable watch.
Lord Brougham has arrived at the Hotel Meurice.
A Government contract for 9,000 tons of English
coals, to be delivered at Toulon in French bottoms,
has just been taken by M. Richardson, of Marseilles,
at 34f. 88c. per ton, that being the lowest tender.
The highest tender was that of Messrs. Hantier and
Co.; of Havre. It was nearly twelve francs higher
than that of M. Richardson.
The news from Rio Grande, brought by the Ex-
press packet, dated the 22d of November, is in the
highest degree favourable, and it was thought more
likely to have a beneficial influence on the Exchange
at Rio Janeiro than the news of a treaty with Eng-
land. The rebels had been completely routed in
several attacks, and have sent an emissary to the Em-
peror to implore clemency and offer submission.
By an arrival from Martinique of the 27th ult., the
answer of the Colonial Council to the speech of the
Governor on opening the session, has been received.
The Council expresses its deep anxiety as to the in-
terests of the colony, and declares that it sees no
chance of relief, except in a direct appeal to the
French Chambers. The concluding paragraph of
the answer of the Council is as follows :—" We adjure
the Chambers, that bulwark of our liberties and con-
stitutional franchises, to come in aid of our weakness
and protect our institutions. We conjure them to
bring into the consideration of the colonial questions
all the reflection their importance demands, and
guard themselves against those mischievous doctrines
which produce nothing but ruin and destruction, and
not to suffer that spoliation which is meditated against
our property, and the annihilation of the great colonial
interests of France, only to gratify the ambition of
England and the exactions of English policy."
A letter from Hyeres states that a violent tempest
took place on the night of the 14th. Of fifty vessels
anchored in the harbour, all suffered severely, and
two broke their cables and went ashore.
The Courrier de Lyon of the 21st states that there
had been no communication between Italy and that
city for several days until the 20th, an enormous
avalanche having fallen on the Mont-Cenis road, near
the Mularet. The mail had at length been able to
effect a passage, and immense numbers of workmen
were engaged in restoring the communication to the
public.

Rio on the 13th of December :—The Grecian Queen,

mond, Superb, Arctic, Ariosto, Cuba, Plymouth,
