The New York Tribune of the twenty
third says:
The steamer Vile de Paris, Captain Sur
mont, of the Compagnie Generate Trans
atlantique-French line-sailed from this
port on the twenty-tirst OF January. heavily
laden with arms and munitions of war for
the French government, bound to Bordeaux,
and although she is out thirty-three days
her arrival has not been reported. 1t is pos
sible that owing to the confusion III that
ment account, the fact of her arrival was
not deemed of sufficient Importance to war
rant it's announcement by cable. The Vile
de Paris is fine iron screw steamer butt
in Greenock in 1866. and is of 1888 tons reg
ister and has three decks. She usually
draws twenty-one feet OF water, but was
drawing considerably more than that when
she sailed. Beside having six water tight
compartments. she is amply provided with
boats, has two directacting. vertical en-
gines and four boilers and is bark rugged.
