decree ordering the immediate release from prison of
General Pacz. It now remains to be seen whether Prest.
Monagas will execute this decree. The British and Dutch
claims on Venezuela have been amicably arranged.
The New York Tribune says, " The Nicaragua Treaty
which was sent out in the Niagara, on the 6th Feb., has
been returned to Mr. Bulwer by Lord Palmerston, with
the approval of the British Government. The United
States Administration require that the treaty shall con-
tain a stipulation that under her protectorate as ally of
the Mosquito King, England shall set up no claim nor
attempt to enforce any right of any nature by virtue of
that protectorate, or in the name of the Mosquito King,
that she has consented to abandon under her own name
and in her own right. This has been agreed to by Mr.
Bulwer, and the Treaty is new nearly completed. It will
be signed immediately, and submitted to the Senate of
the United States for ratification."

We have intelligence from ihe Sandwich islands to the
26th of January, twenty-six days later than our previous
advices. On Friday, December 28th, a severe gale swept
over the several ;stands of the Hawaiian group. At Maui
the kona blew down twenty houses ; at Wathee, twenty-
five houses were destroyed. The trees had been stripped
entirely of their foliage. The sugar cane fields were much
injured. in Kula and Hamakua seven or eight school
houses—several of them large and valuable—were des-
troyed. At Makawao the meeting house was destroyed.
So severe a kona had not been known for many years.
The natives of Oahu are advancing in civilisation rapidly.
On the 11th of December a complimentary ball was given
to A. Ten Eyck, Esq., United States CommissiorrJr, by
the foreign residents of Honolulu. A general thanksgiving
was observed throughout the kingdom on the last day of
the year.

Advices rather more definite have been received re-
specting the movement ag inst Cuba. It is said that
Chagres is the rendezvous for the expedition, and that
extensive enlistments are going forward in many parts of
the States. Other statements represent that -Mexico is
also, perhaps exclusively, aimed at, and Santa Anna's
name is mentioned in connection with the plot. Ac-
counts from Havana had been received at New Orleans,
stating that a steamer, full of men, was seen off the
island, and that a Spanish war steamer had been seen in
pursuit.

Accounts from Canada state that a destructive flood
had been experienced in Toronto on the 3d inst., arising
from the unusual quantity of rain. Many houses,
bridges, &c., had been swept away. Licenses had been
issued in blank to the collector at Quebec to admit foreign
ships to the privilege of passing up to Montreal, making
the latter city practically a free port.
Jamaica accounts of the 28th ult. state that the weather
had been fine ; but in some parts of the interior rain was
very much wanted.

Cholera hadgicken out in the military hospital at Ha-
vana. A hurricane blew over the bay on the 30th ultimo.
Several small vessels were sunk, and the shipping and
steamers were in great danger. Large trees were torn up,
and some shipping and houses were struck with lightning.
Several rumours are mentioned relative to Sir John
Franklin's safety ; but as they have evidently no foun-
dation on which to rest, we refrain from giving them ad-
ditional publicity.
