TOREIoH naws BY THE wAsHINaToN.

The United States mail steamer Washington,
Captain G. w. Floyd, arrived at New York Sun
day afternoon.
The Washington did not leave Bremen till one
day after her appointed time. in consequence of a
tremendous gale Of wind which came ON TO blow,
and continued with such violence to prevent the
steamer from taking her departure. She only
reached Southampton on the evening of the 18th,
but notwithstanding the shorness Of her stay, was
enabled to take board four hundred tons of coals,
and all her stores, reghts, &C., in time to put to
sea the goth, on which day she left Southampton
dock precisely at noon.
The West India mail steamer Thames, Captain
Abbott, arrived at Southampton the evening before
this steamer left that port She had on board spe
Gle to the value Of nearly million three hundred
thousand dollars, OF which almost one million of
dollars was in gold dust from California.
Advices from Havre state that the arrival Of the
steamship Franklin at that port had created quite
. sensation. The franklin encountered heavy
easterly weather during the passage, but made the
run from dock to dock in thirteen days. which is
considered very satisfactory.
The Washington brings us intelligence of one
days later dates than received by the Canada from
Liverpool; and we have London papers two days
later, owing to the London morning newspapers
OF the 18th utimo not having been received at Liv
erpool when the Canada left that pert.
The English securities had been tolcrably well
supported on the London stock exchange Consols
closed at 97s to 97a for money and account; new
three and quarter per cents. 49, to 99h; India
bonds, 50 to 81 prem; exchange bills touch II
prem; bank stock, 2IOs to Oil THE foreign stock
market quiet, but Mexican and Peruvian bonds
were well supported. Railway shares generally
unchanged.
France.
Letters from Havre allude to the competition
for freight that has just sprung up there between
the American and Cunard steamers The agents
Of the latter vessels, to compete with the Franklin
have at once lowered the of freight from Havre
to New York. via Liverpool, to $40 per ton-the
former rate was $40 The agent of the Franklin
complains that this is breach OF faith inasinuch
as the Cunard Company now charge $50 from
Liverpool to New York. 1t costs y 10 ton 10
vey freight from Havre to Liverpool, thus leaving
the Cunard steamers only $40 a ton on French
merchandise transshipped to their vessels. Whilst
doing this, the advertised rates in the London
Times y SO, and notification is made that the
freights will not be reduced till the first of April
next Whatever may be the merits of this dispute,
it is clear that the public are the gamers.
The accounts from Paris extend to the 18th ult.
The French papers. both republican and legti-
mist, complain in severe terms OF what they call
the cowardce of the Commission Of Permanence,
in not taking notice of the publication in the OIL
cial MOnite1, by order of the government, OF the
article in the Constitutional which reflected
verely on the committee for the resolution which
they had come to ON the subject of the review at
Satory. Negotiations were on foot to patch up
reconciliation between the different grades Of the
reactionist party, on the basis OF the proongaton
of the Presidents powers. The Legitmists were,
however, firmly against any such project, while
NJ. Theirs said to be favorable to it. The
greatest anxiety continued to be manifested; and
the forthcoming meeting OF the legislative assem-
bly, was looked forward to with much apprehen-
sion, in consequence OF fear that there would be
antagonislic feeling between the majority of
that body and the Executive. On the 18th, the
competency of the correctional police court was de-
clared for trying those journals accused of an in
fraction of the law on the press. The accounts of
the Bank OF France showed that the cash III hand
had increased by three million francs; the com
mercial bills discounted had declined one million
in Paris, while they had increased in nearly
equal amount in the provinces; the protested bills
diminished by one hundred thousand francs; the
bank note circulation had increased two millions,
and the balance TO the credit of the treasury had
decreased by one million seven hundred and fifty
thousand francs. On the Bourse considerable
tivity was Observable; but the French funds de-
cned, in consequence Of the uncertainty of politi
cal affairs. The latest prices were, five per cents
92f 90c.; and three per cents SIT Soc
Tuscany.
The Rationale, of the / lth ultimo, announces the
arrival at Florence of NJ Pinelli, envoy extraordi-
nary of Piedmont, in Rome. That journal, which
appeared for the first time on the llth, after sup
preston Of fifteen days, says:
Since our suppression a fortnight ago, during
which period we no longer existed for the world,
the situation of things continues nearly the
ephcmeral triumph. England, Belgium, and Pied
mont are alone free from that lepra. Clerical ex-
erciscs will shortly be at end in Piedmont. The
Punishment Of Franzoni and Morangin will teach
back from Rome. The remainder of Italy Is
plunged i'll darkness. We propose to inform our
subscribers of the events which occurred during
the last fifteen days, and to publish the most i'm
portant documents connected herewith.
The PapaI States.
The Risorgimsnfo, of Turin, of the I4th ultimo,
contains the following, under date Rome, the 9th:
have been assured that, in his allocuton ~ the
consstory the 30h ultimo, the Pope spoke of the
the very serious question Of Piedmont but the press
Will mil fha of, h,ch
has been kept most secret. I, consequently, pre-
fer not noticing the negotiations relative TO the at
fair, rather than indulge in conjectures and dan
gerous misstatements The measures contem-
plated by the holy see for the renovation of the
English church~re not to be confined to the foun-
dation Of the Archbishopric of Westminster. Bish-
ops are likewise to be appointed for Liverpool, Biz
mingham, and other pOpulous cities of England
and Scotland. The new Cardinal, DIR. Wiseman
late Archbishop OF Westminster, will leave Rome
In a fortnight to take possession of his see.
The Unirers has the following from Rome, dated
the 10th: IL appears that the French govern me nj
has sent a French commissioner to come 10 an un
dersianding with the Papa government on the
question OF the army, which is 10 contin to keep
garrison at Rome. In several conferences il APP
pears TO have been decided, that the effective
strength shall be 5000 men. We know not how
far it may be prudent to reduce the force in a for
eign country 10 number strictly indispensable

unity of Marselles are strong motives in favor Of
