NEW YORK, Nov. pa special to the Mail
from Paris states that that city is greatly exct-
ed. The political troubles have reached a eli
max. Timers has resigned the presidency and
Marshal Mcmahon has been appointed president
ad interim.
A proposition will be made in the assembly
for military triumyrate consisting of Generals
HAdmiraut, Changarnier, and Mcmahon. Eff
forts are being made to induce Theirs TO with
draw his resignation.
Considerable doubt attaches to the specia
dispatches alleged to have been received from
Paris relative to Thiers's final resignation and
the consequent excitement.
The financial dispatches from London show
no marked change which would be likely to
result from any serious political changes or
complications in France.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20, / 80 P. M-The general
agent of the associated press makes the follow
ing statment:
To Editors: We have received our regular
market reports from London to five O'Clock
this afternoon, and no mention is made of the
reported changes in the French government.
Unless a despatch to us has been lost (of which
can find no evidence), the report is not known
in London.
Ldter.-There is no doubt but what the alleged
dispatch TO the Mail in relation to the Paris
troubles is a canard.

A Bad scare in .yor.ev ,7i,,

New YORK, Nov. 2O-7 20 p. M.-The Erie
railway depotS in Jersey City are burning, with
a high wind blowing. A steamer of the White
Star line is reported in danger
Eight O'Clock. The Jersey fire is appa emily
under control; loss unlikely to be very heavy.
Ldter.-Thc Erie railroad buildings were un.
touched. A tobacco warehouse, lumber ward.
and some dwellings were destroyed No vessels
injured.
Ldter-The storehouse destroyed was a build
ing 400 by 2OOSleet, one story and attic high,
and filled with tobacco recently received over
the Erie road and belonging to Il large number
OF firms, who are supposed to be insured, though
this is uncertain.
In close proximity was an immense six story
building containing fully 5000 hogsheads of to-
bocco, which, fortunately, escaped injury,
though the wooden shutters to the windows,
painted TO represent iron, were somewhat
charred. The newly erected shops of the rail.
road, also close at hand, were not injured,
though for time in great danger. The dwell.
ingS in the vicinity, of which there were a great
many, built OF wood and occupied by laborerS
were soon emptied of their contents, but were
saved.
The loss on tobacco is variously estimated.
though the most intelligent statement we are
able to procure places the quantity at 5000
hOgsheads, containing each from $4,000 to 25 =
OOO pounds, and valued at from to 10 cents per
pound, which would bring the loss in the vicn-
ity OF from 100000 to $500 900. The burned
saw mill was Insured for S11 900.

OF that republic, and particularly of his inteli-

the remaining claims before the United States
and Mexican mixed commission, which BY linn
itation will expire under the present convention
in February next. 1t is stated that the Mexican
president is anxious for such extension, and will
appoint an agent in good faith to carry out the
design OF the commission, in place of Mr.. Sus-
man, by whose action the proceedings were
some weeks ago interrupted. Preliminary stems
have already been taken for new convention.

AN EXCITING CHAsE.-George G. Munroe,
the colored man who assaulted State Constable
Fletcher in the woods near Whitlnsville Satur.
day morning, was arrested at Fiskdale in Stur-
bridge, Tuesday morning, by Sheriff Bacon OF
Blackstone, assisted by the Southbridge consta-
Bile and a night-watchman of the same town.
He was followed by Sheriff Bacon from Whit
insville, through Douglas, East Thompson, Ne
chanicsville and Putnam to Fiskdale, the officer
being but few minutes behind the fugitive at
each place. The officers Upon arriving at a
house of ill repute in Fiskdale, guarded it on all
sides while one Of them effected an entrance.
Munroe, upon seeing the officers approach,
jumped through window at the rear
of the house and gave the officer
stationed there severe blow in the chest
which knocked him off his feet He then turned
upon Sheriff Bacon, but the sight OF loaded
pistol within few feet of his head had the de-
sired effect, and he was soon securely ironed
After his arrest he acknowledged that he had
been so closely pursued that he had been with
out sleep since the assault. Yesterday he was
arraigned before Justice Putnam of Blackstone,
for an assault with intent to kill and pleaded
guilty to the assault. The evidence, however,
was so strong against him that he was ordered
to recognize in $50, 900 bonds for his appearance
before the superior court, in default of which he
was committed. Munroe is well known to the
officers throughout the county as dangerous
character.
