The News.
The Adriatc, from Havre aud Southampton Isl
inst arrived at this port yesterday morning, bring
ing four days later European adyices, q fair cargo
and 2sl cabin passengers. Among the latter was
Lady Franklin, the widow OF the lost Arctic ex
piorer of whom we give some account in another
column.
The news by the Adriatic is interesting. The
mos, important point of the intelligence is letter
from Louis Napoleon to the French Ambassador AT
London, containing an exposition of the Emperor's
policy. lengthy commentary upon this letter is
given in the editorial columns of to.day's HERALD.
With regard to the intervention Of the great
Powers in Syrian affairs, Lord John Russell had
authorized Lord Cowiey to sign the Convention for
regulating the Intervention, on the condition that
the free acouiescence of the Porte shall have been
previously obtained The ambassadors agreed Upon
adopting the notifications desired by the Porte.
As soon as the said notifications shall have been
approved by the great Powers the Conference will
definitely sign the Convention. Meantime, the
French force destined for Syria was preparing for
their departure with all possible despatch. Large
subscriptions in aid of the destitute Christians in
Syria we're being taken up in France.
Accounts from Sicily fully confirm the reports OF
the entrance Of Garibaldi into Messina. Naples

quarter to three-eighths. American stocks had
improved both in price and demand.

From Mexico there is A. yet no news Of any
great importance. 0gszon, though at the head OF
a numerous and powerful army had done nothing
while Mramon was at Lagos. evidently holding ia
contempt his adyersaries, who were lowering
around him on all sides. In the capital a move.
ment was said TO be on foot, originated by the
Spanish Minister Pacheco to dsplacc Mramon, and
put one OF the brothers Cucvas, formerly Minister
OF War under Zuloaga. at the head Of the church
party. There were some spprchcnsions that the
popuiece and military might get up an t,aeute and
sack the city. An attempt had been made to get
up q be.alist movement, but failed. II is evident
that the latter party is in need of a competent
leader. The prospects Of General Comonfort
are spoken Of very confidently by some.
Among the various rumors in circulation is one that
Miramon is to be made Emperor Of Mexico. This
proposition Is said TO have come from the foreign
diplomatic body. On the other hand, Mr.. Ma.
thews. British charge. was about to levy on the
private property Of Mramon, Corona, I.edo and
other leaders in retaliation for the forced loans ex
acted from British subjects. In New Leon the at
Al ~

quiet in that State Caryaial, OF Rio Grande noto-
riety, had sacked large town and was committing
the most horrible atrocities in the name OF the
Jusrez party. Some small conductas Of specie had
arrived At the coast, and others were expected.
