and French residing in her dominions should,
within eleven days, become her subjects, by
having themselves registered and naturalized
as Malagaches, or that they should immedi-
ately quit the island.
Three hundred and fifty men, Of whom 100
were French soldiers, and others belonging
to the three ships, landed on the afternoon Of
the 18th inst, and advanced across a plain.
under a sharp fire from the fort and. battery
OF grape and musquetry. The enemy was
driven out of the battery and the guns spiked.
Another circular fort mounting 80 gums
was then discovered, which was also Storm
ed and taken. The guard-house, custom
house, and a considerable part of the town
was burnt. The loss of the natives was We
ry great-that of the English and French

not been received.
There has been a terrific whirlwind on the
continent. Its effects in Holland were al.
most as severely felt as in France. At Rou.
en-, however, it seems to have expended its

sive manufactures were destroyed by the
whirlwind, while all the hands were at work;
not less than sixty persons of all ages per-
ished in the ruins, and one hundred and TWEEN
ty were thereby wounded.

ten thousand houses, and killed upwards of
tour thousand people.
On the 25ih of May, a Theatre containing
an audience of some 5 or 6 thousand persons
was destroyed by fire. As there were but
two narrow doorways by which this i'm

led to death by the crowd 1857, while the
wounded numbered 2l00.
The Calcuttl Mail brings dates to the 18th
