THK DEFEscEs OF FRa>cK-rhe Government of
France has commenced the execution of other
works in addition to those of Cherbourg und

the New York Commercial says TINT 'lIavre has

possible. Napoleon said at st. Helena that for
tihcations were made to he taken; and the distin-
guished Russian engineer, Todleben. lately gave
his opinion against the construction Of toriiica-
uions for the defence OF country rs useless ex-
pense. 1t is evidently how ever, safer To take these
opinions with liberal allowance, and act Us if
they had never been uttered. With such supports
to Cherbourg and Brest ~ these millions expcn-
dcd along the French coast will offer to foreign in

planning OF the expense to which the military de-

An interesting letter from our correspondent
with the army in Utah is given on another page of
this paper. 1t contains the statement of man
who had been prisoner among the Mormons, but
who had made his escape from them and arrived in
the camp He states that when he left Salt Lake
City, in the middle of February, the MornOns
were resolved on war; that they had divided their
men into two casses one of warriors and the other
of farmers; that they were confident of harvesting
this years crops before they could be seriously dis
turbed: and that in case of ultimate defeat, they
were determined to burn everything and retreat to
the White Mountains, which lie west of the desert
that stretches from Salt Lake toward the Pacific.
However, dispatch from Fort LeavenwOrth,
which we give with our correspondents letter,
puts different aspect On the whole matter. Ac-
cording to this report the movement to the White
Mountains has commenced already, and at the
same time Gov. Cumming has been invited to Salt
Lake City, The dispatch is not as complete as is
desirable but we infer from its tenor that 1t is the
leaders and more fanatical members of the Mormon
community who have gone to the mountains, and
that the more moderate mass of the people have
called in Gov. Cumming and made their submission
TO the United States Government. This ia all pos
sible but it is contrary to all our previous nforma-
ton, and we shall wait for more decided ntelli
gence before giving it credence.

In the great interest which now prevails in this
country with regard to new version of the Scrip
lures, we have no doubt that many of our readers
will very cordially welcome an account, given on
another page of this paper by a correspondent at
G0ttngen, of new work on the Bible whose pub
LEGATION has just been commenced in Germany. The
author, no less scholar than Chevalier BUNsEN,
proposes not only new Translation of both the Old
and New Testaments, but an exegetic commentary
and elaborate disquisitOns upon various scriptural
subjects. A portion of the first volume only has
been published, but it can scarcely fail to be ex
amined with careful attention BY learned men in all
Christian communities.

1t appears, from recently published report of
the Commissioners charged with the superintend-
ence of the British Customs duties, that one effect
Of the prevailing grape disease is greatly to increase
the alcoholic strength Of the liquors imported into
England and drank there as wines. Whether this
effect be natural or artificial the Commissioners
are not able to say. Upon another point their in
formation is more positive. Not only does the
wine imported from Spain and Portugal arrive in
Great Britain great deal stronger than formerly
containing, as . matter Of course thirty three per
cent Of proof spiris-but while it lies in bond, it
requires al,o larger additions than formerly 70 keep
up the requisite degree Of strength-an addition Of
ten per cent being customary allowed by the bonded
warehouse authorities for thatpurpOse. What with
the alcohol in it when it arrives and that put in after
ward, this Old London Particular often gets so
strong TO raise serious doubts in the minds of the
Commissioners whether it ought to be set down as
wine or brandy. Not that they at all charge them.
selves with the duty of protecting the purity or
favor Of foreign wines, for the benefit Of the wine
drinking public, but they have direct interest in
the question in their character of guardians of tho
revenue. The duty upon spirit is fifteen shillngs
salon-the duty upon wine only FIVE .hillinss and
line pence. What duty, then, ought to be laid
upon bottle of liquor entered as wine. but which
proves, upon being tested, to contain fifty per cen.
and upward of spirit This question is discussed
BY the Commissioners at great ength-the conclu.
sion at which they arrive being that nothing shall
be allowed to pass as wine, which has more than
forty per cent of spirit in it. If, however, our
drinkers Of old Port imported from London would

Another recent trick Of trade is also referred TO

manufactured abroad, but stamped, nevertheless,

The European diplomats in China appear to have
transferred the scene Of their operations from
Canton to Shanghai. BY way of opening COM
munication with the the Imperial Court, as had
been agreed upon by the representatives Of the
United States and Russia, as well a. those of En-
gland and France, the Secretaries of the English
and French Embassies were dispatched to Shang
hal, as the bearers of letter 10 the Emperor con-
tanning the demands of the four Powers. They
reached that city on the goth of February.
Learning that the TaO-tai, or Viceroy, was absent
at Foo. Chow.Foo, which is the capital of the prov
ince, distant some fifty miles inland from Shanghai,
with which, however, it has water communica-
ton, they resolved to follow him thither. Attended
by the French and English COnsuls and the Amer
lean Vice Consuls, with their interpreters, they
embarked in Chinese boats and reached Foo
Chow-Foo on the 26th. This is described as city
of between two and three millions Of Inhabitants.
II il on the grand canal, and in daily communica-
ton with Pekin. The TaO-tai was not there; he
had left for Shanghai in hopes to intercept tho
secretaries, but had missed them by not taking the
same route. They sent word, however, of their
arrival as bearers of important dispatches to the
Foa-tai or Deputy yiceroy, and they entered the
town in the midst Of great crowd, drawn together
by news Of their arrival, who received them in
silence-interpreted as mark of respect-and
though with evident indications of establishment,
yet without any marks Of hostility. The dispatches
being delivered to the Foa-tai, he entertained
the Secretaries with repast, during which he in.
CURED as to the state of things at Canton and what
would be done with Yek. The Bext day this Off
cal-who is described as person of great intelli-
gence and Of very amiAble manners-returned the
visit of the Secretaries at q palace provided for
them outside the town. He was accompanied on
this visit by the Tao-ta, who had been sent for
and had returned in the interval. The Secretaries
were informed that it would take from ten TO IF.
teen days for the dispatches to reach Pekin. They
then returned to Shanghai, having first received
letter addressed to the ambassadors, stating that
tie dispatches would be forwarded to Pekin with
promptitude and dispatch. II is in anticipation of
the answer to be received that the diplomats
have proceeded to Shanghai. The readiness of
the authorities at Foo-Chow-Foo to forward the
dispatches, and the degradation of Yek, whose cap.
ture at that time was not known at Pekin, were re-
parded az Indicating favorable result for the pend
ing negotiations.

Canton may make on the Imperial COurt-and how
