vHe h0ydt 0tcdtuSAp NOttn Amef1ca arrty- ed on Monday. with Liverpool dates to the 18th. From Great Britain no political news. London papers notice extraordinary statements that cnculate in Paris respecting affairs at the Tuil- leries, and calls on the Emperor to stop the calamny. TlN French have gained another victory over the Mountain Kybales, in Algeria.
 Spain is reported quiet. Esparettero had taken amicable leave of the Queen. The Rus sians have notified that they are ready to give up Kars to the Turks Russia still maintains that the Island of Serpents belongs to them, and it is rumored that Napoleon sent supple mentary note to be inserted in the treaty to settle the point Portugal officially notifies her adherence to the doctrine propounded by the Congress of Paris, respecting rights of neutrals and arbitration.

Walenski and Pelliser are to distribute the Turkish medals to the French army. Only the wounded and invalids are to be permitted to accept the medals. Sss s s0 The following extraordinary paragraph is from the editorial columns of the London Times There are some very unhappy rumors floating all over Paris about the state of things estab- lished at the Tuilleries, which it is very much to be hoped are entirely without foundation. Moreover the statements gather strength and they are reported from day to day. No doubt the legitimatsts or republican parties in Paris, will take care that the stories do not lose ex. cited interest in the repetition, and we are sor. " tosadd that the character of the Empress herself continue to betcruely aspersed Now that the Emperor returns to Paris, it ought to be his first duty to bring the authors of those calumnies to justice. & 'TsA ss@a%

By the the application of pounded ice and common salt to the diseased part, thus causing numbness and insensibilitya surgeon lately succeeded in removing a tusnor of considerable size, without any pain, and oc- casioning very little loss of hlood If ice can thus be successfully substituted in the place of choloform, in surgical operations, it will be of great value in saving patients from the risks in voved in the use of the latter. .... --.-
 THE EMpRE.-The principal reward of the Austrian soldier is the distribution of medals; which is performed with much ceremony, and is a festival for the regiment concerned. The medals are of three classes--the great gold medal, the great silver, and little silver. They are all only attainable by very prominent mer- it, and are valued accordingly. They are not given to officers, and the few such who wear them have earned them when serving in the ranks. In former campaigns, and in the last, instances have frequently occurred in which ca dets nominated for promotion to the rank of lieutenant earnestly begged for postponement,
 with view to the chance of their obtaining cue of these medals !; and several succeeded ia their object. ...
 The medals have pecuniary as well as an honorary value. The gold medal secures to
 its owner double pay while he serves, and full pay for life after leaving the service. The sil- yer secures au addition of half the amount of the regular pay during service, and pension for life to the amount of that addition after leaving the service.
