Foreign Intelligence.
From the London Sun, April S.

We have received the following piece
of information from a quarter well ac-
quainted with what is passing on the Con-
tinent; SO, for this reason, we attach con-
siderable importance to it:
"It is confidently stated here, (Paris) in
the diplomatic circles, that some of the
leading continental powers have already
come to decision on the important ques-
tion of the recognition of the independence
of Brazil, and that one of them is actually y
contemplating the arrangement Of com
mercial treaty with that empire"
The power more particularly alluded to
in the preceding paragraph, no doubt is
Austria, as the family alliance existing be-
tween that country and the Brazilian En-
peror has always been serviceable to the
interests of the latter.
The following extract of a Paris letter,
also contains an important piece OF Mer-
camille information and is derived from a
source equally respectable:
"Peope in France are by no means sat
is6ed with the bad reception we at pre-
sent meet with in Hayti, and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the coffee of that isl
and which has hitherto been admitted un-
der French duties, will be now subjected
to the payment of the same rates as if i'm
ported from foreign colony. tits ever
added that no more clearances are to be
given to vessels wishing to 60 thi;her; ant
in short, there is so strong cabal raised
by the old colonists, and the campaign il
Spain has elated our army and navy Sc
much, that it would not be astonishing t,
see an expedition sent against St. Domin

d'Angouleme would command It,"

faithless legatee, who. too susceptible of
his insinuating attentions, withdrew her Ia
YOUR from the anxious Mr.. Savage. and pla-
ed her changed affections on the aunt's ex-
ecutor.
The courtship Of her second 1--WE should
say np.rt admirer) was much more brief,
and much more effective than that OF the
deserted plaintiff In the May Of 1885,
Miss Fryer became Mrs. Godfrey" Saw
ages occupations gone" His 20 years
siege had all been spent in vain, and his
patient declaration, that he would gladly
wait, I" if it was 90 years longer" was now
of no avail Every promise that Miss
Fryer had made, even the solemn vow,
sanctided by kiss on the Bible. after ne
had been treating her with rum and wlne'
were all violated, and the plaintiff had no
consolation, save what the laws oihis coun-
try might afford. Mr.. Savage is about
thirty-Gvc years of age. and earns eight
shilings every week and Mrs. Godfrey
ia in her fortieth year, and of a constltu-
tion-not quite as strong as her pocket.
No witnesses were called on behalf OF
the defendants but severe remarks on the
evidence were made, in a vein of acute and
ironica argument, of above an hours dura-
ton, by MIR. C. f. Williams, their advocate.
The Jury consulted few minutes, and
then compensated Mr.. Savage for his two
fold loss Of Mrs. Godfrey and her money,
by verdict for plaintiH-Damases 4ool.

CHANGE OF FORTUNE.

A very singular reverse OF fortune has
just happened to an Irishman OF the name
OF Arthur Burns, belonging 10 the county
of Tyrone, who at present resides in the
Hight street Glasgow. He came to this
country number of years ago, and has
since worked in the humble capacity of a
builders laborer. and bore the character
of sober and industrious man. An uncle
Of his, who went to the East Indies as a
snerchant, accumulated large fortune. and
while on his death-bed at Calcutta, made a
will bequeathing the whole OF his property
in favor Of his relationships will was
sent home, properly sealed by eight or ten
different executors, whose names are at
tached to it. Inquiry was made after
Burns in the north of Ireland, where 1t
was ascertained that he long before had
gone to Scotland. A messenger was i'm
mediately despatched from Dublin to this
city; and careful inquiry was made among
the various kinds of laborers, until he was
at length traced out lews days ago. and
the good news impaired to him. lie was
furnished with copy Of his uncle's will,
appointing him sole heir to his immense
property amounting to 100000 cash, seve-
raj valuable estates, FIVE merchant vessels
at sea, besides an inventory OF furniture OF
the richest and most costly description;
among other articles are gold table, the
length and breadth, and superficial dmen-
sions of which are stated, bedstead
mounted with gold, pair Of slippers with
gold buckles, two carriages finely mounted
with silver. and various other articles
equally splendid. One OF the vessels cal
led the Margaret, is on her passage home,
with some of these valuable effects, and
large stock of the choicest wines and sevc-
raj puncheons Of rum, consigned on be-
half of Mr.. Burns to the care Of respect
able merchant in Dublin. MIR. Burns
is about forty years of a,e, is married,
but without children. None of the mo-
ney or effects have yet arrived, as the
will was despatched before the mer-
chant was dead, but the accounts OF his
decease and the arrival of the effects are
daily expected. Mr.. Burns, in the mean
time has never ceased a single day from his
employment and is much less elated on the
subject than might have been expected,
lie carries nome IN lhe evening MS usual
bundle of sticks under his arm for fuel.
AS is always the case in matters of th',
kind, new friends and acquaintances who
ne never knew before, have sprung up on
every side,who are eagerln their endeavors
10 serve him: and offers of accommoda.
ton, with money are unbounded. but he
declines them all, and prefers working in
his homely garb and abstemious fare, un
I'll he be able to touch his own. Thre,
thousand pounds was sent by his uncle tt
him in Ireland some years ago, intrustet
10 the care ofa gentleman. who kept it, ant
when he failed in London he ranked tn,
iaborer as one of the creditors. The com
position was IS. but he has not received i,
and it wouldseem that his good fortune vii
come on him all at once.-Glasgo'o Chro

The news from Greece is to the Sd. of
March; altho' but few days later than
previous adyices, it is nevertheless lnteres-
ting, nasmuch as it assures us Of the con-
tnued tide Of success which attends the
Greek arms.
II appears that Lord Byron was at
Tripolitza, and had restored harmony a.
mung the Peloponesian Chiefs, and had
succeeded in making the Legislature and
Executive Government, combine their ef- |
forts, to ensure the ultimate triumph of
their country. Acrocorinth (the Citadel
of Corinth,) had been provisoned At
FripolitZa, a mandatory Of gunpowder
had been established the mills Of which
were built on the basis of the Eurotas. Six
schools have been established at Trpolitza,
Mistra, Cartene, Gastonni, Calamata and
Phanari, on the Bell and Lancasterian
plan. Also, one near Missilonshi. found
ed by Prince Mavrocordato, where
Military College and Hospital had been
established by Col. Stanhope.
The siege Of the Castle Of the Little
Dardanelles and of Lepanto, was car
red on under the direction of English,
!. Prussian and French engineers, who with
S few Americans and Italians, were the on
t ly foreigners yet engaged under the banner
4 OF the Cross.
= In Epirus, Arta had fallen into the
e hands of the Greeks, and the nsurrection
d of the Pacha of Seodra is confirmed. The
