LATEST FROM FRANCE.

By the arrival of the packet ship Sully, Capt
Forbes, we are in possession OF Paris dates TO
the 3Oth Of May, and of Havre Journals to the
lst of June, her day of sailing. The items OF
observation-disclosures are not of much importance.
They relate principally to the approaching cleo
tions-New York Com.
They say in the Gazette d'Etat of Berlin, OF
the 22d May: " A letter from St Petersburgh of
the 18th, contains that which follows. We learn
from Constantinople by the way of Odessa, that
il was widely reported in Constantinople, that
Mehemet Ali had been assassinated in popu'
lar insurrection. If this news should De con,
firmed events of great ultimate Importance VIII
be its consequence"
A letter from Corfu, of the LIST May, states;
awe learn from Constantnople that great
changes have taken place in the army OF ipra-
brahim Pacha among almost all the higher
ranks, and that it was intended that the army
should be Immediately removed to new posi-
tons. Important motives are assigned Tor these
measures It was believed that many OF the
principal officers were in secret league with
Osman Pacha, who, since his desertion, has Ia
bored all in his power to detach the Egyptian
army from Mehemet Ali. 1t is said that the lat
ter is not without apprehensions as to the fdeli-
ty of his troops since he maintains secret agents
i'm the midst Of his army, whose business is to
inform him of the opinions of the officers and
soldiers; and it is by acting upon these reports
that it has probably been judged necessary to
dismiss great part of the superior officers OF
the regiments, and to keep the army as con-
stantly employed as possible.
Meanwhile, as these things are passing in the
camp of Mehemet Ali, the Porte, without noise,
is augmenting his ornaments by land and sea-
If new rupture should break out between them,
the event will be decisive. Both feel that the
existence of each will depend upon the issue
Of the conflict Mehemet has more to dread
from the chances of war. It remains to be seen
whether their conduct in the field of battle will
be better than that which they have maintained
in time of peace"
The law granting an eXtr aordinary credit OF
twelve millions of francs for the service of the
present year, and nearly ten millions for the
wear ensuing, to the Minister of War, has been
officially promulgated in the Moniteur.
Various specuations are INDUCED in by the
Partisan journals, relative to the REGAL OF the
Russian Ambassador Prince Lieven, from the
Court of ST. James. Some regard it as an in.
dication of schism between the British and
Russian Courts, whilst others represent it as
mere domestic arrangement, unconnected with
political considerations.

clock. THE Funds have experienced decline,

FUNERAL OF LAFAYETTE.-We resume orr ac-
count of the progress of the procession to the
cemetry prefiXing some incidents which occur
red but which we were unable to learn yester-
day at the moment Of going to press, from the
confusion that prevailed after it left the church.
| Upon reaching the Place Vendome, about a
hundred young men OF the schools, one of them
bearing a trcoored flag covered with Grape,
attempted to fall into the procession, but they
were prevented by the police on duty, aided by
some ofthe National Guards, and an officer ofthe
Municipal Guards wreoted from them their Gag
The cortege proceeded along the Boul7ard
without further incident till it arrived opposite
the Rue Richelieu, when an inconceivable pan
c, without any apparent cause, prevailed in the
crowd, and some confusion ensued.
Near the Porte st. Martin, man who had
climbed up tree having fallen down, alarm
was again spread, and the multitude rushed in
to the neighboring shops and houses, even
breaking the doors that were closed. Inc pro-
cession then continued its march to the cemetry
without further interruption. Upon reaching
the Rue de Picpus the troops passed on, and
drew up in front ofthe Barriere du Trone. The
first part of the followers entered the Rue de
Pcpus, but the principal part remained outside,
as when the former had passed, the extremity
of the street was barred by military detach.

The only persons who entered the cemetry
were the relatives OF the deceased. Whilst they
were performing the last melancholy duties, the
troops stationed at the Barrere du Trone rem
dered military honors to the great citizen,
whose loss is so universally deplored. As soon
as the relatives had quilted the cemetry, the
troops returned to their respective quarters
and the crowds quietly dispersed.

with intelligence somewhat later than before
