The royal mail steamship Niagara, from
Halifax, March Goth, arrived at this port at
q A. NJ. of the Goth.
The Monituer states that at Cbalons on the
9th, forty men surprised small post of In
antry. They then attempted to get possession
of the Railway Station crying " Viva la Repub-
lique." Being driven back, they occupied the
bridge to intercept communications with the
Barracks. The officers who live in the town
cut their way through, and the garrison also
turning out, the rioters were dispersed Fif-
teen men were captured.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The House of Commons met on the 18th.
Mr.. Disracli said he would take the earliest op-
portunity of stating that within the last hour
Her Majesty's Government had received dis
patch from the French Government, in answer
to the dispatch addressed to them by Her Males
tvs Government He had great pleasure in an
nonncing to the House that those painful cir
cumstanses which had, UNHAPPY, for time,
subsisted between the governments of the two
countries, had entirely terminated. They had
terminated in spirit friendly and honorable
and in a manner which he believed would be
satisfactory to the feelings, as he was sure they
would be conducive to the interests and hap
piness of both countries
lie would also take this opportunity of in
dicating the course which the government pro-
posed to take with reference to the public bus
mess Of the country. At this moment supply
was necessary for the service of the impending
financial year with regard to the first, he enter
ed into some explanations with respect to the
militia, observing that in August last sum of
G2000, 600 had been granted for that service,
but in consequence Of the state of affairs in
India, it was intended to embody a greater
number of militia, under the act of last session
and in order to defray expenditure there he
proposed to ask for a supplementary vote of
700 900.
The Montuer of the 18th says that on the
9th ult. arrests were simultaneously made in
various parts of France which defeated culpable
projects and led to the discovery and seizure of
arms, ammunition and compromising correspon-
dence. The number Of arrests, however, have
peen exaggerated They are limited to SO ring
leaders at Paris, twenty at Lyons, IL at Mar
settles, and on an average in forty departments.
In spite of this precaution a gathering took
place in Paris ON the night of the 9TH of March.
Firm and vigilant measures, however, caused it
to prove abortlve, and led to twenty new ar
rests.
The afray at Chalons is indisputably part of
a plan Of systematic agitation. The PatrG
gives further details of that revolutionary at
tempt, showing that the mob took the Infantry
posts by surprise, and seized nearly all the arms
The rioters were subsequently subdued by a
strong military detachment, and many arrests
were made.
SPAIN.
The news is of little interest. The Senate
had again rejected Espartero request to be dis
encountered of his rank as a Spanish Senator.
A Madrid telegram says Zuloaga, the Provision
al President Of Mexico, was we'll disposed to
settle the difference with Spain. The statement
that Gen. Concha was to be removed from the
Captain Generalshipo of Cuba is contradicted on
authority.
