LATEST FROM FRANCE.

The packet ship Rhone has arrived at New
York, from Havre, whence she sailed on the
9th November. Her regular day of sailing was
the first; but she was detained by contrary winds
and bad weather. The commercial intelligence
will be found under the proper head. The Jour
nal of Commerce contains a few extracts from,
foreign papers, among which are the following:
The Consul of the United States at Havre,
has received instructions from his Government,
directing him to put into execution the law pass
ed in Congress, March 9TH, 1919, limiting the
entrance Of passengers in the u. States to two
persons per five tons in each vessel. Every in.
dividuaI, without regard TO age, is to be consi-
dered IS passenger.
Tie greatest and finest part of the town OF
Tawasihus, in Finland, as well as the palace Of
the Governor Of the Province, have been con-
sumed by fire.
NJ. Franchessieu, a stock broker in Paris, has
been declared defaulter to a very large amount.
His failure is the conseq uence Of the late unex,
pected and continued rise Of every species Of
Stock.
A private letter from Lisbon says" The
Captain of a small vessel. lately arrived from the
Azores, states the Consttutionalists of Terceira
have an army of between 10 and IL, 900 men and
a light squadron Of three schooner rugged briggs,
With these forces they contemplate an attack

intended the entire centrol of the whole trade
from Loudoun aud the country north and west
to the Ohio River-for the time is not very
distant when the trade from Wheeling will pass
through Winchester and thence over the Little
Falls Bridge to this place rather than by Cum
berland, as it now does, to Baltimore-for the
obvious reason that it is shorter by several days
travel to and fro for loaded wagons, loaded with
the rich products of the West.

Washington, on Pennsylvania Avenue, near Al
street. collection Of paintings, worthy the atten-
ton ct the patrons and friends of the fine arts. -
They were all executed in Italy, by our young
and promising townsman, Mr.. J. G. CHAPMAN.
whose abilities as an artist are highly spoken Of.
Among these paintings, as particularly deserving
notice, we would mention those marked in the
Catalogue Nos. l, 2, 5, 4, & S. No. 1, Ha-
gar and Ishmael. This original picture was fa-
vorably noticed in Rome, and by request Of the
editors Of the g Giornale di Belle Arti,' it was
engraved and published (the first production of
an American Artist in the number Of that work
for November 1880. No. 9, IS the entombment
of Christ, copied from the original in the Vatican,
by Michel Angelo ola Caravaggio. No. s, the
Martyrdom Of st. Peter, from the original by
Guido, SC. &c. The collection contains besides,
many spirited little sketches and well drawn CO.
pies from the Italian masters. In calling public
attention to the exhibition Of this collection,
we perform duty always pleasing to US, that Of
paving the need of praise to native talent.

During the month, 8 clear days.

During the month, clear days.
NorE.-By reference to our Journal of De-
cember, 1880, that month is recorded as mild,
gentle and pleasant, with the exception of few
days, as that of Spring. 1t cannot be so said of
December, 1881. Probably within the memory
of any person now living, weather more incle-
ment and unusually severe never was experienc.
ed. During last Winter, thirteen SHOWS took
place; and since this Winter set in, fifteen have
already occurred, emitting in the list splts, hirts,
and squalls; for, according to Indian phraseolo-
gy, no SHOWS are here enumerated bnt those IN
which ga Rabbit might be tracked. The Poto.
mac was frozen over last year on the 10th Janu.
airy, and this year on the 5th December; and so
substantial is the ice. that loaded wagons have
crossed in safety; and it may not be hazardous
to say. that this Winter, taken in all its bearings,
will be remembered as the Cold Winter for years
and years to come.
To add to the catalogue Of woe and misery,
which usually follow the train of a hard Winter,
our country at large, is visited with most viru.
lent disease, termed Influenza 1t fills all space.
no care, no caution, or foresight, can screen you
from its baeful attack-you are its victim, and
seize you it will; for the tender infant and ma
ture age share alike the same fate. Thus ends
the year of 1881.
p. S.-1sSe.-The Thermometer on Sunday
morning stood at go, and on Monday at 10.

the natural Sites Of mineral wealth. We know

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company

power them to make Turnpike Road hence to

rediments to- free communication already es-
tabllshed between Leesburg and Georgetown

fallen far short Of the real danger; for be it re-
membered that the City of Washington and

aud Ohio Canal Company, and once permit that
Company the ownership OF the road hence to the
chain Bridge under an act of Congress, and your
right Is passed away never to be regained.
Washington and Alexandra united. they NAV
and will have such tariff of tolls at the Gate. to
