LATEST FROM FRANCE.


The brig Orion, Smith, has arrived at Bos-
ton, from Bordeaux. She brings papers of
the 18th ult containing Paris dates of the 18th
which our correspondent has enclosed US, with
much valuable ship news.
These papers state, that the rebels in Tours,
Saumut and Anglers have been dispersed with
out difficulty, several have been arrested, and
the troops have manifested the most loyal dis
position.
There appears to have been large collections
of the people of Paris, in different streets, hos
tile to the missions, which has produced the
necessity of ordering ont bodies Of infantry and
light cavalry to be stationed in different posi-
tons A proclamation was issued by the po-
lice, announcing the disturbances occasioned
by the mobs, and the determination of govern
ment to disperse them, and requesting all good
citizens to abstain from mingling in the crowd.
In the first chamber of the Tribunal, iudg-
ment has been pronounced inthe case of Mons.
Montholon, Bertrand and Marchand, against
nIons. LATTE, the banker, by which they re-
cognized MS offer of to deposit the sums recei-
we'd by him from Napoleon Bonaparte into the
court; authorize him to make the deposit at the
expense and risk OF all whom it may concern
They also declare, that counts Monthoon, Der
trand and Marchand cannot for the present re
ceive their demand, and amerce them In costs
of suit
IT is mentioned that the king Of England
would visit Paris, in the month Of June next.
Al Paris or the Iith per cents were
from SGT t0c to cot 85c. March l3, per
cents from 88f 40c to So 60. Exchange
had declined, but little demand Tor paper,
and silver was abundant.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
A Vienna article is published in the Paris pa
pers of the following purport-That the cabinet
of Vienna has at length taken decisive step in
the affairs OF Russia and the Porte.-Prince
Mettemich has addressed circular to all the
European Courts, and the different govern
ments of Germany. In this remarkable note
Austria is said to have resumed the tone of au-
tnority she formerly exercised in Europe, and
TO have directly declared that she will not have
War, and is determined to employ all her
means Tor the preservation of peace. 1t Is con-
fidently believed that the court of Vienna holds
this language in concert with the courts OF
England and France, who have been previous
ly informed thereof, and between whom and
Austria the most perfect harmony of views eX-
lists in relation to rurkev 1t is augured from
this, that the Austrian cabinet puts little faith
IN the pacific professions of Russia towards the
Porte. IT is also reported, that the Duke De
cazes has left Paris for Germany charged with
an important mission. The Paris papers men
ton that private accounts from London speak
of an alliance offensive and defensive between
France and England, in case of war in the
East
A Warsaw article states that the total of the
Russian army ready to take the field, exclusive
of the corps stationed in Bessarabia, at so to
l00,0 900 infantry, 80 to 10000 cavalry, and 1870
pieces of artillery.

Byth u. 5. schooner Revenge, we have
/ fila of Havana papers to the 9th INST. but they
appear quite destitute of interest.
We learn verbally, that the Spaniards IN
Cuba were very much exasperated at the Pre-
sident's Message, recommending the recogni-
ton of the independence ofthe South American
Provinces; and also at the vigilance OF our CRUZ
sers in the destruction OF Plratlcai vessels In
that vicinity.
Intelligence of Com. Cassin's death reached
3 Havana Just before the sailing OF the Revenge,
ON which occasion the colors of that vessel,
and of the French frigate Juno, lying in that
harbor, were displayed at halt mast.
A note from our correspondent at Havana,
dated the 4th instant, says Arrived here this
morning, the Spanish hermaphrodite cruiser
Comet, in IL DAYS from Vera, Cruz She
brought in the French ship Achilles, and the
French brig Trois Seurs, both OF which clear
ed out from this place for New-Orleans, and
were taken by the said cruizer at Vera-Cruz
and brought back here bv order OF the COM
mander OF the castle in the Bay of Vera-C Cruz"

sells under convoy, viz. brig Arson, Gorham,
for Boston; brig Dover, Sabins, for Whining

Cruz; ship Anne, Fletcher, for st. Petersburg.
On the 9TH March, in company with the Y. 5.
schr. Porpoise, cruizing off the south side of
the Island Of Cuba, took boat, which, from
circumstances, inclined to the belief that she
was a piratical vessel. Cruized on In compa-
ny; passed between the Carmans, and off the
Isle of Pines; saw very few vessels; and on the
22d March, saw and gave chase to small sch.
called the Mary, of Boston, under American
colors, from the bay of Honda, and ling 43
slaves on board, which on overhauling and
finding no papers, she became a prize to us,
and was afterwards ordered from Havana to n.

set the example of beginning by congress, and
~ reduce the per diem and mileage allowances
20 the old standard ofsix dollars per day; they
also recommend correspondent reduction OF

i IS calculated for the seventeenth, congress,
would amount to saving at the yearly rate oil

tend to the amount of 100000 per annum,

The day previous to the Thomas Scatter
good leaving Canton, Information was received
that the British frigate Topaz, Capt. Black
wood, had fired upon the Chinese village of
Lintin, 90 miles above Macoa, and had killed
and wounded 8 Chinese.
1t appeared that the frigate's boats were on
shore watering, when iracas took place be-
tween them and the natives, who had attacked
the seamen with bamboos, &c. Capt. Black
Wood was induced to open a fire in order to COW
ler the retreat of his men.
When the T. Scatterwood, left Lintin the
ssrigate and large Country Ship remained at
that anchorage with their boarding netting up.
The consequences to result from this affair
could not be aScertained at the time of the T..
Scatterwood's sailing; but the probability is,
that it will occasion temporary suspension at
least, between the British and Chinese.
