In flour there had been an advance of• 12/ to 25c. per
barrel.

Rumours of -a probable peace with Mexico were preva-
lent. The boundaries proposed by that country to the
United States were Texas to the Rio Grande, New Mex-
ico, and Upper California. It was, however, expected
that Congress would not agree to the conditions reported
to be stipulated by Mexico, that slavery should not be
permitted in any part of the ceded territory, and it .was
doubted that such stipulation had been made. Neither
men nor money could be voted .until the question should
be settled, though the 16 millions loan bill was in the
Senate, and might be passed when needed—the cash being
easily obtainable at par for 6 per cent. stock, having 20
years to run.

The petty quarrels of the King of Musquito with the
Nizaraguans had been taken up•by the British naval com-
mander on that station, which'bad led to a great deal of
unpleasantness. The Vixen, British steamer, having on
board the aforesaid king and Mr. Walker, the British
consul, anchored in the port of San Juan de Nicaragua,
landed a small force, took possession of the town and fort,
struck the colours of Central America, and hoisted those
of the Musquito king. The steamer departed, and a
counter revolution took place. The commander of the
Vixen returned, but, finding threats unavailing, sailed
away for Jamaica for reinforcements,

The King of Prussia, in closingthe session of the state
on the 6th, made a remarkable speech in favour of peace ;
but he added, if treaties be broken, or an attack made on
his territories, or on those of the Germanic Confederation,
he should •• prefer the dangers of war."

21. young lady named Blackwell, who is 26 years of age,
is now studying medicine at Boston ; and on her applica-
tion for admission to the medical class, she produced re-
commendations from several eminent physicians of Phila-
delphia, and certificates from her tutor, the professor of
the theory and practice of medicine in the New York
University.

AuSTR/A .—Prince Matternich has resigned. The
Prince!had declared himself decidedly favourable to con-
cessicns in Lombardy, as well as in Bohemia and Hun-
gary. The loan by the Emperor of Russia to Austria of
thirty millions has been completed, and the money paid.
A terrible panic exists on the Bourse at Vienna. There
are rumours of rising in different parts of the empire—in
Galicia, in Bohemia, and in Hungary, not to speak of
Lombardy.

FEARFUL CONFLICT AT THE FEEJEE ISLANDS, 800
KILLED.—By the arrival of the Sydney mailer Saturday,
we are informed of a most severe battle having taken
place on the 4th of September, at the Feejee Islands,
between the chiefs and the people of Mbau and Rena, in
which the latter were defeated, but escaped with a num-
ber of their adherents to Java harbour, about seven miles
west of Rena roads, where they intended to settle, all the
habitations of Rena being burned to the ground by the
chiefs of Mbar]. The number slain on both sides
amounted to upwards of 800, the bodies of whom still
remained exposed there. Fortunately for the missiona-
ries, the scene of warfare occurred at some distance from
their location.

AMERICA.—The Washington, from New York, arrived
at Southampton on Tuesday, having left on the 21st ult.
She brings 17 passengers, and 5000 dollars only in specie.
The stock market in New York was much depressed, al-
though money was much easier, with symptoms of im-
provement. The exports of bread to England had been
on a limited scale. Preparations were making for the
election of President, which was to commence on the 22d
nit. The news from America is of no great importance.
The principal topic discussed is, " Who will be President ?"
Strong efforts are being made to crush Mr. Polk, and
bring in a Whig of moderate principles. The dates from
Vera Cruz are to the 29th of January. The accounts and
prospects of peace there were very contradictory. Orizaba
had been captured by Col. Lane, at the head of 500

cavalry

OXIANISM AND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.—What
says the French Church ? She holds out her hand to
Democracy, but with a timid boldness, as a man might
do who found himself face to face with an unchained
wild beast, watching all the while its glistening eye and
restless limbs. The Archbishop of Paris, seemingly of
his own accord, but really after receiving a significantly
lge from a republican club, issues directions
or substituting the name of the Republic for that of the
King in the daily prayers. He goes with his archiepis-
copal cross and in full costume to visit the sick in the
hospitals, and finds himself greeted with respect. Pas-
toral letters are published in every diocese. In all, the
clergy are desired to inculcate peace and order, and to
accept whatever form of government it may please Pro-
vidence to set over them.

GERMANY.—The German Franefort Journal of the 3d
contains a letter from Berlin of the 22th ult., stating that
the treaty of alliance between Austria, Russia, and Prus-
sia, for supporting in common Austria in Italy has been
ratified. Three corps d'armee have received orders to be
mobilised ; the fourth is to march from Saxony and Thu-
ringia into Westphalia ; the seventh is to descend from
Westphalia to Cologne ; and the eighth to move to the
frontier of France. The third corps d'armee in the march
replaces the fourth in Saxony. The Journal de Franc-
fort denies that foreign troops are to quarter in the city.
At Heidelberg there had been some troubles on the 29th.
The Duchess of Orleans, with her two children arrived at
Coblentz on the Ist. Her Royal Highness arrived at the
Hotel du Giant, and immediately after set out for Ems.
Among the persons of her suite were the preceptor of the
Princes t.nd the French general. The German Diet has
decided upon authorising each state of the Germanic Diet
to regulate the question of the liberty of the press as it
may think fit.

CURIOUS COINCIDENCES.—The Paris Union points
out the following curious coincidences between the cir-
cumstances attending the fate of the two French monarchs
who preceded the republic :—" As in 1830, three days,
and the same three days of the week, Tuesday, Wednes-
day, and Thursday ! As in 1830, a man of the people
taking his seat on the royal arm-chair ! Louis Philippe
was dethroned in the same month as the Duke of Berry
was assassinated 1 Raised to the throne by barricades,
he was hurled from it by barricades ! Like Charles X.,
Louis Philippe had a grandson, and this grandson was of
the same age as the Duc de Bordeaux in 1830. Like
Charles X., Louis Philippe, at the last moment, wanted
to abdicate in favour of his grandson, and he likewise
received for answer, 'lt is too late !' Charles X. fell
shortly after Hussein Pacha, the dey of Algiers ; the fate
of Louis Philippe arrived soon after the day on which
Abd-el-Kader was brought a captive to France. Now
for Louis Philippe as for Charles X., we say the ex-
King. But there exists a difference, which the people
in their justice acknowledge aloud. Charles X. departed
poor into his exile, and Louis Philippe will in his, enjoy
his immense wealth."
THE REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.

The events of to-day (says the correspondent of the
Daily News, writing on Monday) have been untoward.
The Provisional Minister of Finance has resigned. The
Bourse was to have been re-opened, and all the agens-de-
change were assembled, ready to commence business,
when, unexpectedly, soon after one o'clock, an order ar-
rived from the Minister of the Interior, forbidding its
opening till further orders. It is understood that bargains
had been made for purchases and sales of the Threes at 60.
Gouin's bank stopped payment to-day. This bank had
done much business for the petit commerce of Paris. It
is reported that its liabilities are fifty-five millions. Con-
tradictory reports are circulated as to its assets. I am
told in one quarter that they are considerable, while I hear
hear from another that they bear but a small proportion
to the liabilities. However it be, this failure must pro-
duce great temporary distress. Gouin was banker to the
conservative party in the chamber, who have withdrawn
their capital, which is assigned as the immediate cause of
the failure. Gamier Pages takes the Ministry of Finance.
Advices from Paris of Tuesday evening announce that
the Bourse had been re-opened amidst great excitement.
A melodramatic deputation of Americans waited upon the
Provisional Government on Monday, and, according to
the custom of republicans, taking upon tbem to speak in
the name of the United States, they presented M. Arago
with an American and a French flag united.
The news from the departments is generally favourable.
Public tranquility is everywhere maintained. The miners
in the north who had revolted, have resumed their work.
Great commercial distress however is reported in the chief
towns of the provinces.

The armed band which occupied the Tuilleries, and
made it the theatre of their disorders and orgies, were in-
duced en Tuesday to evacuate it.
It seems that a hand of some four hundred armed indi-
, viduals had, after the capture of the Tuilleries, resolved to
remain in it, and snake it their quarters. They slept on
the sofas, such as were not broken, got camp beds, slept,
lived, cooked, and made themselves at home in the Tuil-
eries. The authorities occupied the guard houses with the,
National Guard, but one of this band always stationed
himself as sentry alongside of the National Guard sentry.
It was soon found that these gentry were not of the most
honest kind. For they contrived to force open doors and
drawers, and to pass objects of value through the gratings
of the Tuileries, to corn! anions outside. At first food was
sent to them, as to soldiers on a post, but this being with-
held, they contrived to procure some. At last the Prefect,
Caussidiere, begged them to dislodge. They refused flatly,
declared that they had fifty rounds of ammunition per
man, and would first set fire to the Chateau, if attacked,
and then fight their way out. How dislddge these des-
perate men ? An assault could scarcely be asked of the
good citizens who compose the National Guard—police
there is as yet none. The soldiers have declined to at-
tack the people. The only corps that could be got were
the youth of the College of St. Cyr—i.e., the sons of the
best families of the kingdom. The prefect accepted their
offer of reducing the brigands ; and the latter was sum-
moned last night. In reply, they offered to decamp on
condition that each one of them was to have a pension of
800 francs a-year, and that none of them were to be
searched on marching out. The Prefect refused the honest
terms, and gave them until ten this morning to submit.
At ten this morning the boys of St. Cyr, well armed,
marched into the court of the Tuileries, with a crowd of
Parisians gathered thousands strong, to witness the fun of
the chateau taken by stop]. They were in partdisap-
po ,
inted • for the brigands, frightened at the determined ,
aspect of the St. Cyr scholars, consented to march out
without setting fire to the palace. Some were searched ;
all had dollars in abundance. Some were marched to the
Hotel de Ville, and some escaped
