FOREIGN NOTICES.

•
There is an amusing article in a late number of the
Quotisfienne, purporting to give an account of the periodical press
of Great Britain. Almost every sentence contains a gross blunder.
This is the mot's inexcusable, u the writer, though be has sadly
disfigured the original, has evidently been poaching on a lisreilou
journal, which had furnished a tolerably accurate s:atentent. But
the carekesoess of the French in acquiring knowledge of English
habits, and customs, and institutions, is all but incurable.
The Chamber of Deputies held its last sitting " for the
dispatch of business," on the 16th inst. At the close of the sitting
the President announced the resignation of the Marquis de Chau-
velin and the Marquis de Voyer d'Argenson, two of the most dis-
tinguished members of the opposition. M. Benjamin Constant, in
a kites published in the Cormier Fressfaii, attributes this double
resignation to dis gement.
Mademoiselle d'Orleans, sister of the Royal Duke, has
a seat at Raudan, in Auvergne, where the Princess has established
a great number of benevolent institutions. Among them are a
lace-school for girls; a school of drawing and elementary archi-
tecture (or workmen ; an evening school for workmen and artists ;
a school of mutual instruction for girls ; a gratuitous pharmacy, and
a school of mutual instruction for all the childien of Raudan and
the environs.—Galignoni's Meastsger.
The Quotidienne says—" By a recent decision the
number of his Majesty's aldea-de-caosp is fixed as follows :—The
King will have twelve aides-de-camp, being general officer. or
colonels; the Dauphin will have two general officers and tour
superior officers ; the Duke of Bordeaux, the same number ; and
the Princes of the Blood, one general officer, and four superior
officers."

Information to the 20th of May has been received
from the Havannah, confirming the news of the extensive prepa-
rations there for the equipment of an expedition for Mexico, and it
is said that as soon as that should have been got ready, another wiLl
be immediately set on foot to proceed against Colombia.
Charleston papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house to the 27th June. The New York
Morning Herald observes—" How singular and bow strong are
prejudices in favour of English goods, when such as are made at
home, of equal or superior quality, must be called English, in order
to command a ready market mid a full pike. In this way the
twelve thousand pieces of Calico, manufactured at Hudson every
asooth, find a market at'New York ; and the merchants send them
to clothe the fair of the South."

The following paragraph appears in Galignarti's Mes-
senger. The Nlr. Hendricks mentioned was formerly a member of
the Stock li:chaise in this country, and proictor of many on-
successul joint stock companies :—" Extract of a private letter of
the 15th ult. (rum New York : ' A duel took place near this city
the day before yesterday, between Mr. H. Hendricks, lately ar-
rived from France, and Air. Chaudoin, from England. The fir-t
lire was ineffectual, when the seconds vainly endeavoured to bri.ig
about a reconcLiation ; Mr. Hendricks i:isisting on a written do-
cument being signed by Mr. Chaudoin. explanatory of a cireuni-
stance which took place in London some time since, and by which
Mr. Hendricks became a serious sufferer. Ott second shuts being
exchanged, the ball from Mr. eltaudoin's piatol pas-ed thr"ogh Mr.
Hendricks' coat, near the left side, and that from Mr. Hendricks'
lodged in the right breast of Mr. Chaudom, who was krone...Am.-1y
removed from the ground by his friend. Mr. Hendricks embarked
in a vessel bound to the West Indies.'

Accounts from Rome state, that the researches smithy,:
there continually bring to light new archaiological treasures and'
the number of Etruscan vases discovered is reported to amount to
more than 5,000, among which there are at ,least 200 which have
Grecian inscriptions. A catalogue of the latter has just been
published ; and it is likely to excite much curiosity among antiqua-
ries. Many at the vases descnbed in this cat 100. will probably
tend either to coulben or destroy the c.anjtctures which well known
archaiologists have made respecting similar vases which Is .d been
previously discovered in usher localities, and whose bad state or
preseivatioo tendered explanations difficult or doubtful. A I;
the objects fouud at Canino, are a considernble lumber of antorie
jewels in gold, and .evetal small bronzt f sures executed in very
good style.
