"Resolved, That we earnestly desire that the General

Resolutions declaring that the United States ought to

There are some interesting pieces of intelligence in the
miscellaneous advices by this arrival.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
herald says, " There is something extraordinary going
on. The navy department is actively engaged in ordering
vessels to prepare for sea, and in collecting supplies and
munitions of war. Among other things, the Mediter-
ranean squadron is to be strengthened by two additional
vessels.

In the Pennsylvania Legislature a resolution had passed
a second reading, and been ordered to be engrossed,

On Wednesday evening last, the President suspended
the receptions which had been given every week since
1830 at the official residences of the various Ministers.
The reason of this was to pay honour to the memory of
Louis XVI. on the anniversary of his execution ; a mark
of respect which was duly appreciated by the Legitimists,
whom Louis Napoleon seems exceedingly desirous of con-
ciliating. Masses were c. lebaated for the murdered mo-
narch from 9 to 12 o'clock that day in most of the churches
of Paris.

The Minister of War, by a decision of the 16th instant,
has acceded to General Cavaignac's demand to be placed
on theretired_list of the army.

A telegraphic despatch, dated Paris, Friday morning,
brings intelligence of a change in the French Ministry.
MM. De Morny, Rouher, and Fould leave the ministry,
and are replaced by MM. de Persigny, Minister of the
Interior, Abbattucci, Minister of Justice, and Binault,
Minister of Finance, &c. M. de Maupas is gazetted as
Minister of Police. Another new Ministry, named
Ministry of State, is created, and occupied by M. Casa.
bianca.

The cause of this change is said to be, the unwillingness
of the outgoing ministers to be parties to the spoliation of
the Orleans family. Be this as it may, a series of decrees
has been issued, countersigned by M. Casabianca, the new
Minister of State, the first of which enacts that the mem-
bers of the Orleans family, their husbands, consorts, and
descendants, cannot possess any property (moveable or
immoveable) in France. They are bound to sell them
within the year, and in default they will be sold by the
State. Another decree cancels the donation made by
Louis Philippe on the 7th of August, 1830, to his children,
and enacts that their properties, of about two hundred
millions of francs, shall be employed as follows :—Ten
millions to societies of secours mutuels. Ten millions to
the improvement of the lodgings for the working-classes.

Six persons had lost their lives at an emigrants' board-

Three of the sufferers are named John Clennan, John
Wm. Dalton, and Mary Murphy.
The New York Journal of Commerce says, " It has
been stated in the public press, that the Adriatic, which
name it is proposed to give to a fifth steamer in the
Collins' Line, is soon to be launched. This is not the
case. Her keel has not yet been laid. Probably the
company are waiting to ascertain the result of their appli-
cation for pecuniary aid from Government. The four
steamers already running are, however, sufficient to per-
form the contract, which obliges them to carry a mail
each way every fortnight between this port and Liverpool."
Eleven persons had been killed near Savannah by the
explosion of a steamer's boiler.
The ship George Washington, Captain Cummings,
cleared at the New Orleans Custom-house on the 27th
ult., for Liverpool, with a cargo of 5,501 bales of cotton,
being by odds the largest cargo ever shipped from or to
any port. The weight of her cargo is 2,298,872 and
is valued at 166,440 dollars 10 cents. She is 1,534 tons
burthen. She was loaded in nineteen running days, of
which seventeen were working days.
It is said that a considerable emigration of slaveowners,
with their slaves, is going forward from North Carolina to
California.

Later accounts from California had reached New York,
but there is no striking feature in the news; on the whole,
however, it is interesting and encouraging, especially to
those who have relatives and friends in the land of gold.
It would appear as if civilization was making rapid strides
in California. Balls and dinners have recently been given
there, which, for the profusion of delicacies and extent of
choice dishes that were served to the guests, rival those
given at the Astor or Irving House, in New York, on
important occasions. The Indian difficulties were at an
end, or nearly so, it is believed the damage was much
exaggerated in the first place. Two companies of volun-
teers were organised in the city of San Francisco to pro-
ceed against them ; but, as their services were not required,
they were disbanded. The people of California labour
under great inconvenience for the want of a circulating
medium. There is a great deficiency of gold coin of small
denominations, and also of silver, and the consequence is
that both bear a premium.
From Vera Cruz, Mexico, we have unimportant advices
to the 26th ult.

Advices from Northern Mexico state that Caravajal was
about to resume the offensive.
We have advices from San Juan to the Ist instant, but
they contain no intelligence from the interior. Munoz
was at Leon.

Valparaiso accounts mention that the Copiapo Railroad
was nearly completed.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NRW YORK, JAN. 14.
Money continues in abundant supply, on call, and loans are
making at 7 per cent, and occasionally at 6 per cent. The
demand for paper is good at 6 to 9 per cent. for first-class, with
moderate supply.
The demand for exchange for this steamer and the rates are
steady. Sterling, 10 to 101; France, 5.15 to 5.121; Bremen,
781 to 781; Amsterdam, 411 to 41f.
The Merchants' Insurance Company, at Buffalo, has been
compelled to suspend operations, having lost over 400,000 dol-
lars on policies within the last two months.
There has been an active demand for Cotton since the sailing
of the Pacific, which has been freely met by holders, hut prices
notwithstanding have advanced Id. to id. per lb. The sales
are about 10,000 bales.

Floar has been in quiet demand, without much ifany change

Provisions have been very quiet, sales having been made of
200 barrels pork and 100 beef, at former prices ; 100 barrels
beef hams in lots at 813 25, and 250 prime old lard at 9c. a 94c.
Batter was in moderate demand, at lic. to 18c. for Ohio and
State ; but cheese ruled heavy, at 64c. to 74c. per lb. for fair to
choice. In salt little doing ; 1,470 sacks of Ashton's Liver-

Owing to limited quantities of produce being offered for

ATTACK ON LORI) CLANRICARDE'S AGENT.—Robert
D'Arcy, Esq., of Woodville, justice of the peace, and
agent to the Marquis of Clanricarde, was attacked by two
men on. Tuesday evening last, when on his way home in
his gig from Loughrea. One of the ruffians seized the reins
of his horse, and struck Mr. D'Arcy on the forehead with
a stone, which threw him backward in the gig, while the
other assaulted him with a heavy stick, and inflicted a
severe wound on the right side of his head near the temple.

trators escaped. The police are on the look out for them.
A STRANGE IMPOSTOR.—A young woman, about 19
years old, who gave the name of Georgiana Lett, has
been apprehended at Dunshaughlin, as a vagrant and
impostor, under circumstances of some singularity. She
stated that she was the daughter of a private gentleman,
who was formerly a police officer, and resided in St.
Paul's-square, Liverpool. She had taken some " white
money" from his desk, paid her passage by steamer to
Dublin, where some of her clothes were stolen, and was
endeavouring to reach her relations, named Armstrong,
in the county Meath, when travelling by a public car she
was stopped by the police, at Dunboyne, on account of her
apparent inability to take care of herself. On being sent
to the workhouse, till her friends could be written to, she
was not treated as a pauper, but was taken charge of by
the matron. It was, however, in due course discovered that
she had gone by the names of Armstrong and Hunt ; that
she had no friends residing in Liverpool, and that her
name and description, as a notorious impostor, were in the
Hue and Cry, It is believed that she is the girl who was
villanously assaulted a short time ago in the south of Ire-
land by a carman ; and that she was then considered an
idiot. Among her other accomplishments. she is said to
be able to feign insanity and epilepsy to perfection.
ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—On Tuesday last, Mr. Mere-
dith Chambre, a gentleman residing at Hawthorn-hill,
near Newry, after attending the Forkbill petty sessions,
was returning home in his car, accompanied by his brother
and his butler, when, on reaching the townland of Dri-
matee, two shots were fired at him. He was dreadfully
wounded by the discharges, eight small bullets having
entered his head, neck, and face. The assassins, believed
to have been five in number, bad lain partially concealed
under a slight shelter on the side of the road, and made
off the moment they had effected their diabolical purpose.
Active pursuit was, however, immediately set on foot, and
several parties were arrested on suspicion, to two of whom
it is said the crime is likely to be brought home. Mr.
Chambre, directly after the occurrence, was conveyed to a
neighbouring roadside house. where most of the bullets
were extracted. One, however, in the upper part of his
head still remains, though it is hoped that this also will
be extracted, and it is believed that the life of the sufferer
is not in ireminert danger. The persons apprehended
appear to belong to a Ribbon society ; and Mr. Chambre
it is stated has been well aware for some time that he was
what i called a " marked man," and always when out
carried arms. He was one of two magistrates who, a few
days before the event above noticed, committed a school.
master to take his trial for writing threatening letters.
