FOREIGN.

On Tuesday evening Louis Philippe received Ad-
miral Dupetit Thouars and Marshal 'Wee.
Yesterday afternoon, says GaNpzani, 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'Aumale 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. Tha 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.

LAW AND POLICD.
The case of the Attorney-General v. the Corpora-
on of London came on for hearing in the Rolls
Court on demurrer. The application was to restrain
the corporation from granting licenses for the forma-
tion of embankments on the River Thames, the fee
simple of the bed of the river being in the Crown, and
the Corporation being the conservators only. The
Corporation demurred, claiming the ownership of the
bed of the river, and alleging that the question was
one which ought to be tried at common law. The
Master of the Rolls took time to consider his judg-
ment.
In the Secondaries Court a sheep salesman, named
Collins recovered 51. 2s. 6d. from a butcher named
Guerrier, for some lambs. The lambs had been pur-
chased by a jobber named Ellis, in Guerrier's name,
and the defence was that they had been purchased by
Ellis, without the authority of his principal. It ap-
peared, however, that at the time of the purchase
some of the lambs had been paid for, and had been
driven away by defendant's drover.
The examination of William Law, a bankrupt
draper, of Reading, was adjourned by Mr. Commis-
sioner Fonblanque sine die.
At Guildhall, a middle-aged woman, named Ann
Zuber, residing in Greystoke-place, Fetter-lane, was
brought before Mr. Alderman Challis and Mr. Alder-
man Musgrove, charged with carrying, without a
permit, upwards of two gallons of spirit. She was
committed for six months in default, of paying a fine
of 1001. It appeared that the poor creature was in
very great distress at the time she committed the
offence.

Yesterday John Cox, a marine-store dealer, re-
siding in Rotherhithe, was charged at Greenwich
with having in his possession an immense quantity of
old and new metal, nails, rope, &c. Mr. Grove said
this was a case of wholesale plunder, and it was neces-
sary that ample time should be afforded. He should,
therefore, remand the case till Thursday next.
At the Thames-office an old sea Captain named
Ketty, charged a couple of nymphs of the pave with
picking his pocket of his purse—they were re-
manded, and the Captain went to a tavern opposite,
and gave the pot-boy his boots to clean, when the
lost purse, with its contents, were found in one of
the boots. The prisoners were at once discharged.
