!, The continental advices are no later
than those previously received but
by this arrival, we have the important,
Information that the pain in, his Britanic

FRINGE Alexander Hohenlohe, cont.
MUGS to work miracles. Among others
which he recently performed was one
on the right thumb, hand, and arm of
Miss Barbara OConnor, nun in the
convent of New Hall, near Chelmsford.
l.eeching, blistering, fomenting, poui,i,

ton, and all the usual remedies were all
employed, and all employed in VAIN
the pain in Miss Barbara's thumb did not
abate. nor would the swelling in her arm
subside. Finally recourse was had to
prince Alexander Hohenlohe, who cur
ed all by letter prescribing a par,icu.
lar process OF prayer and penitence.

by the same prince, on the foot and leg

St Bcnoit, Tholouse.
From the affairs of kings, ministers,
| princes, and nuns, we turn TO the cues
ton OF peace and war. Here, however,
we have nothing but opinions to guide us.
The news from Bayonne "rurnishes,"
says the London Courier, sIbe most de.
cisive proofs, not only of the &c rtainty of
war, but also OF its speedy commence
ment." IL is to be observed that the
| Courier leaves out the pretty little story
the Trappist. This VIC find supplied
in the New Times.
In the same number of the Courier
(March Is), the editor expresses his Joy,
that the Royaists under Bessieres, are
| rapidly gaining strength. ave are glad
ofthis, he says, "beeause we should like
To see Spaniards themselves the main in.
s,rument IN rescuing Spain from the re.
evolutionary faction that now holds her in
thraldom. The increasing numbers oil
the Royslists, however, would only fur
nish an additional motive for the assis-
lance OF France" The editor then pro.
oeeds to prove secumdum artem, that, on
three distinct grounds, Louis lie desire,
ought to support the cause of Legitimacy
IN Spain with fire and sword, even though
;he blessed army of the Faith were able
TO overthrow the constitutional system,
without any aid from beyond the Pyre-
necs.
The i.ondon Times Of the 18th saws, a
French ultra, of high rank, in the service
Of the Royal family, wrote to a British
nosleFnan to the following effect :-"Be
| assured we cannot 60 to war ; il is i'm
possible !; public opinion is every where
against us. The unhappy affair in the
chamber, GU, of which no one has come
with credit, except Manuel, has par-ab z.
ed US all.'
In corroboration Of this, we can state,
says the times, that dispatch has been
received from Sir Charles Stuart, from
which MIR. Canning has drawn s.the in
ference, that the couDsels of the French
government are Of a snshensiDe nature y"
$50 much for opinions, which, however,
decide nothing. The French govern
meDt is inclined TO war, but fear is still
as prevalent as inclination. Nothing
certain IS 10 be predicted of The present
| state OF things, except this-that nothing
| Is certain or decided
The British government has entered
INTO contracts with several houses engag-
ed in the Russian trade, for the supply of
5000 tons OF hemp for the navy. The
prices agreed Oh were 1000 tons ST. Pc
tersburg hemp $50 90, 1000 Riga A3.
The advance on manufactured copper.
within very short period, has been near

many mines which had been relinauish
ed, TO be resumed aad has given ON i'm
petus to the copper trade in general,
which will be advantageous to all the

The number Of houses DESTROYED in ihe

English sccouns, 1860. The Chinese
