GREAT HAUL OF COUNTERFEIT MoNEY-On the
4th ult., officer John E. ID. Cozzens of the night
police, returned to st. Louis from Jefferson county,
Mo-, bringing with him upwards of S200,000 in
counterfeit money, obtained from the residence
of John S. Moore, the individual who figured so
extensively in passing the counterfeit Missouri
filtes in California. Having business in Jefferson
county, ofhcer Cozzens repaired to Moores late
residence, and commenced a general search of
the premises. Under the floor of an out house,
built some years since by Moore, ostensibly for a
negro house, the money was found first placed
IN an earthen jug securely corked, the jug en-
cased in wooden box, the seams filled with pitch,
to prevent the action OF the air water, the whole
surrounded with pulverised charcoal. In another
box was found an engraver's press complete, and
various engrayers tools, secured after the amer
OF the money.
OF the 100000 and upwards of counterfeit
paper found $4,000 was of the Missouri fifies-
the exact counterpart of those passed in California
filled up and ready for use.
The lltellgencer enumerate3 a list of about
fifteen banks on which counterfeit bills were dis
covered,
The money and press, from appearances, must
have been placed under the floor Of the out. house
by Moore previous to his departure for California
two years ago, and from appearances had not
been molesed when found by Cozzens. The
greater portion of the paper we'll engrossed
and calculated to deceive. This discovery, the
Intelligence thinks, leaves no doubt that Moore q
house, in Jefferson county, has for years been the
den of an extensive gang of counterfeitels, and
that he was leagued with counterfeiters through
out the Union. The great variety and generally
well flushed character Of their paper will alone
vouch for the extensiveness of their operations
The lntelligencer thinks that the principal
point of operations has not yet been discovered.
The police, however, the scent, and have
gained clue which may lead to astounding de-
velopments.-Pic.

La New Orleans resides Madame Pom
;alba, a very wealthy lady, (noW quite
advanced in years,) who, in a past age,
was the reigning belle of New Orleans,
distinguished alike for her personal and
mental and pecuniary attractions. A
fortunate suitor, in the person of polish
ed descendant of the old nobility of France,
carried her away to the luxurious atmos-
phere of Paris. The father of her hus-
band, disguised at what he regarded as
her levity of conduct, repaired one night
to the chateau. where she was temporarily
residing, some leagues distant from the
gay metropolis The report of two shots
were heard. The domestics discovered
her father-in.l law dead, and the Madame
wel.ering in her blood. She still retains
the bullet in her person. Her husband
has long since gone to other spheres, and
the once gay and accomplished Madame
Pontaba inserts her advertisements in
the papers, informing worthy denizens
that she has any number OF stores and
dwelling houses to reat.

believe is not the case " hen boy he was ba 3ly
burned upon one of his arms II think the right

yet to be seen. He is lively aud fond Of music,

may have fallen into bad hands, and been con.

an honest man, hope TO hear from him. If not
stolen he in all probability has gone to some Of
the neighboring Indian nations, and may have
obtained forged free papers and attempt to pass
himself as free, or he may be lowering about some
city or town not far distant. hope that the patrol

FRANcE.-Gen. Changarnier. who holds

FRANCE.--Gen. Changarnier, who holds
0kther an anomalous position, dangerous
alike to the influence of the President
and of the National Assembly, seems
destined to create some trouble in this
country. Owing to the publication of a
set Of army instructions, purporting to
issue from Gen. Changarnier which ap-
peared in La Petrle resolutions of GEN.
sure were introduced in the Assembly.
The authenticity of these Instructions
was denied by the General, but the jour-
nal in which they were published ad-
duces facts and circumstances which are
inconsistent with such denial The
President, Napoleon, evidently finds
Changarner in his way, while the As
sembly seemed disposed to encourage
him. The quarrel has led to the resgna-
ton Of the Ministry. The following are
the principal points of interest respect
ing it:
Great excitement prevailed at Paris in
consequence of the resignation, en- nadsse.
of the Ministry. This was caused first,
by the open hostilities OF the President
towards Gen. Changarnier, who, in de-
fiance of the open protestation of the
Ministry; was given permission, on the
instant to justify his conduct before the
Assembly. Both the right and the eftap-
plaudeG the General, when the Ministry
abruptly withdrew, and with equal ab-
ruptness resigned. The President had
great difficulty ia the formation of new
Cabinet NJ. Barrot having refused to
accept office. This state Of things con-
tinued nearly week, when, as we learn
from telegraphic despatch, dated Paris,
Friday evening. the Monituer of that day
appeared with the Presidents speech,
containing the announcement Of Druoyn
de Thugs; for Foreign Affairs, and Gen.
Regnand des Jean de Angley for the
War Office, with new appointments also,
or Minister of Marine, Public Works
and Commerce.
Another decree, signed by the Minis
ter of the Interior, is published. 1t re-
vokes the decree by which the National
Guard and the troops Of the first division
were united under one command. The
effect of this decree is to abolish the post
heretofore held by Gen. Changarnier
Gen Periot takes command of the Ma
tional Guard, and The troops of the FIRST
division are to be commanded by Gen.
Baraguey de Hiliets. He enters upon
his duty by general orders to the army
of Paris. in which he explains the object
of his mission, and states be will main
tain the discipline which his predecessor
had established. He also states that he
will uphold the authority established by
the Constitution, and give his energetic
support in the execution of the laws.
A postscript to the despatch, under
date of seven o'clock IN tile evening.
states that motion had been made in
the Assembly that the members should
retire to their bureax, to raise commits
sion to prepare resolutions expressive Of
the Legislature in regard to recent events.
which motion was carried. against the
active opposition of the Ministry, by a
vote of 800 to 352. Great confusion is
