Capture of n Rogue In Paris.

GallIgoani's Mess nger, OF the 22d ut says
"Three Gays ago, a mao, very meanly clad, pre-
scented tor paw At M ssrs. Ro hschds, bill
81 of exchange for 520fr drawn ut New York The
cashier, entertaining some doubts, questioned the
man as to how he came by the b |, and he at once
said that he was commissioned 10 present 1t by
another person. The cashier still refused to pay
1t without the real holder coming to endorse IT.
On Saturday, the commissioner returned with his
employer, whe peremptoriy insisted upon having
the money, and signed the receipt on the back OF
the bill with the name OF Guaume only. This
confirmed the suspicious OF the cashier, who still
refused to pay it until the identity of the holder
was established before a cOmmissary of police.
On hearing this awful name, the holder of the bill
ran off at his utmost speed, and the cashier, with
one of the servants of the house, followed as IA.
pidly as they could, hut could not overtake HIM till
they saw him jump into cabrlolet, and drive off
as fast the horse could GO. The cashier put the
servant into another cabrlolet, and directed him
to pursue the fugitive Some time afterwards, M
Roihsch,ld sent M. Martinez, one OF his chief
clerks, to lay an information before the commis.
sary Of police, who, to his utmost surprise, told
him that he had the rogue already IN custody. The
servant had tracked the fugitive to house In the
Rue du Chantre, and managed to have hum ar
rested He turned out TO be man named Renoux
Jean, employed at the Post Office, who had Sc
creted the letter remittiog the bill, and made the
attempt to obtain its payment. He was conducted
to the Prefecture of Police, and Is there incarce-
rated until he can be brought to trial.

FROM HAVANA We yesterday received files Of
Havana papers to the Sd inst. The only news Of
interest Is from Yucatan.
From letter, published IN the Gaceta de la Hs-
bana, Of the 2Sth ult, dated Merida, Feb. IL, we
learn that, the previous day, at five in the NOR
nlng, the Indians charged upon the town of Sabn
IN large numbers, keeping up lively and well sus-
tanned fire. The commandaot OF the place. Don
Juan de Ia C.uz Salszar, placed himself at the
head of force and started out to give them battle.
After fight of three hours, IN which both parties
commended desperately tor victory, the Indians
abandoned the field, and dispersed in all directions
through the woods. Senior Salszar ls highly COM
mepded for his gallantry, and received a severe
troops One sergeant and two soldiers were killed
and Six soldiers wounded. The loss of the In

The report OF the Postmaster General commu-
nicated to Congress on the 9th instant, sets forth
me oasis oithe postal arrangement concluded some
time since with the government of Bremen. Frem
MS IL appears that privileges and advantages have
been obtained by our government which will tend
greatly TO facihtate the mail intercourse between
our people and those OF the German States By
the new arrangement, an exchange of mails has
been effected on terms of reciprocal accommoda-
ton, almost as free and unrestricted as those by
which our domestic system Is carried through the
States OF the Union. The American mails, con-
veyed IN our steamers, are received at the mouth
OF the Weser, some forty miles below the CITY of
bremen, whence they are conveyed by the Bremen
government, free Of charge, their postage being
RENTED on our mails, and all mails sent to and
from this country, under the new arrangement
On The German lines beyond Bremen the mails
to and from the United States are conveyed at
uniform rates, even lower than the range of their
lower than the rates fixed by some of the German
States In their arrangements with other nations
by the new arrangement, the Bremen Post Office
becomes an agent OF our Post Office department,
not only for the distribution and forwarding of our
mails, but tor the collection and payment of all
American hostages that may be prepaid or col
lected In Germany, at the same commission tina It's
is allowed to our ewn local postmasters. In like
manner The Bremen department will collect and paw
over to the several European governments partlci-
pat!ng IN the arrangement, their postage money
which may have been prepaid or collected IN the
United States.
The privilege of sending correspondence from
either country to the other, with the postage unpaid
or,pr,epaid, at the option OF the sender, either in
whole or in part, has been arranged with all parts
of Germany, except the Austrian dom,nions Ba-
varla and Baden. AS soon as the government of
Bremen can secure this privilege for itself from
these governments, or any others IN Europe, the
United States are to be allowed to participate IN
the arrangement. In short, the new treaty has ef-
fected all between Germany and the United States
that has been accomplished by the recent postal ar
raDgement between the United States and Great
Britain. Below will be found list OF all the TO-
reign postage rates as adjusted by the Bremen ar
rangement, which may be prepaid IN this country
or not, at the option or the sender. The list is
copied from the official reports

Il Is to be pltied that the two parties were not
