Courier Beige, of May 7, contains the
following paragraph, which is considered
hoax -
"Hoang- tong Kao, Chinese commits
sioner, has just arrived at Amsterdam, on
board a vessel belonging to the Handel
Maatschappij. He is the bearer of re
script of the Emperor Of China, which
empowers him to deliver letters of marque

SPAN. Letters from Bayonne confirm
previous accounts Of the total failure of
the Carlists' plans in the Basque provinces.
Seven of the deuded officers were taken
few days since, near Elsondo, and shot.
Reports Of the insurrection had reached
Madrid on the 4th, but they produced very
little impression, the Government and the
public being both convinced that at present
nothing can be done by Don Carlos in the
Provinces. Letters from Saragossa afford
US nothing new as to the march of events
in Aragon. There appears no account of
Cabrera since his flight from Mora Gel
Ebro, nor has Espartero attempted the re-
ductlon of Morella. In the meantime the
citizens of Madrid complain of the impu-
nifty which the Carlist flying parties enjoy
on the high road, as two diligences between
Saragossa and the capital have been taken
and burnt by one of Cabrera's gangs.
1t appears that the Government expe-
rlences certain embarrassment in nomi-
mating Captain-General for the Philip
pine Islands, very important point, since
war has been declared between China and
England. The rumo. states that the func-
tons of the officers of SUPERIOR rank.
France. The Paris papers are wholly
occupied with a project of law, submit
ted on Tuesday, by the Minister of The
Interior, to the Chamber of Duties, for

posting in the Church of the Inyalids,

and deposited in it's resting place, with
great pomp and ceremony.
The Circassians have again obtained
extraordinary advantages over the Rus
SLAMS, having taken four forts, not by
surprise, or in the night, but in the open
day, by storm, sabre in hand at the bayonet's
point. Socha and Soubachi are mentioned
as two of these forts, and Abuna, it was
announced, had likewise fallen but |
suspect the truth of this, as that impor-
tant post is too strongly fortified to be
carried by assault. These intrepid aud
successful attacks are of the highest i'm
portance, as they prove that the Circas-
slams are not now afraid to storm the
Russian mud redoubts and so encourage
ing commencement will have the double
effect OF exaIting their enemies. 1t is
not improbable that the Russians will yet
be compelled to evacuate most Of the posts
they occupy in Circassia.

binary excitement was created in London, by the
murder of Lord VIM. Russell, on the 9th of May,

with large amount of money belonging to his
employers, was arrested in Plymouth on the 9TH,
in company with an abandoned female who went
with him from New York. Thirteen thousand
dollars were found in his possession, which he
surrendered to Mr. Grips (the member of the
firm who went to England in pursuit of him. He
stated that he had spent about $500 of the stolen
money. In consideration of this surrender by
Goodwin, MIR Grips made compromise with
him and consented not to prosecute. Mr. c. made
a present of EGO to the woman, to pay her passage
to the United States, and also gave f4O to the
officers who had assisted him in the recovery of
his property
Temperance in Ireland The temperance re-
form in Ireland had occasoned an accumulation
of the stock of whIskey in Dublin to the extent
of 10000 puncheons, One of the most extern
sive dstillers was breaking up his business. In
Limerick the number of spirit retailers has d.

Emigration to the United States. There have
no fewer than $500 persons taken their depart
