PCM. which has ordered the sequestration under wh.oh this :vessel has been detained in the port of Boulogne, to be taken off. It is to be sent back to England as soon as its owner has ;rr;ved from London. • The Seidinelle de la Marine, a Toulon Journal, of the 18th, says--“ We are assured that the reserve squadron will be increased to nine ships of the line, and will have several frigates. It will be called the Mediterranean Squadron of Evolution, and will remain separate from that of the Levant. Admiral Lalande will arrive at Toulon on the 25th of this month, and will, it is said, take the command of a division of our second squadron. It is said that Rear-Admiral Hugon will shortly be promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral: • • Captain Burand, commander 6-f-theUranie,,has returned to this port, to superintend the armnag• of that frigate. . • • Admiral Leland° is derfainly. - -leek Paris to-day for Toulon, where he will Wait,for the-mission which is promised hinr..• Admiral Duperre, it is said, has not yet r..ceived any communication from thc Ministry.  The Univers of to-day says—" The armaments which have been commenced within these three months give us an army of 450,000 men ready to take the field. At the opening of the session the Miniger is to apply to the Chamber for a vote of credit to raise our army to 600,000 men."  All this looks very grand on paper, but from the 450,000 men spoken of we must deduct first the 60,000 men employe,: in Algeria, then the 100,000 men that are going to be assembled about Paris ; then the garrisons of Lyons, and other great centres of population, where matters have been so well managed that, instead of National Guards, which would have sufficed to defend such towns as Metx and Strasburg, little armies are required to keep in check a population which should constitute one thought, but which has been made an obstacle.—Lc Commerce. The Gazette des Tribunaux states that a frotteur, lodging in the Rue Montmartre, was arrested yesterday morning on a warrant from M. Zangiacomi, the examining Magistrate. It appears that, from what has been elicited by the interrogatories in the prosecution of Darmcs, great importance is attached to the securing of this man, who was an old and intimate associate of his, always participating in his extravagant notions. Another man was taken into custody the day before yesterday on the spot where Darmes made his attempt. He had excited attention by his violent and incoherent expressions, among which was " The murderer of the last of the Condcs shall be punished, and die as he deserves !" On being taken into the guard-house, he gave his name, and said he was a journeyman tailor. The man was partly drunk. The DrUit says :—" Darmes, when he made his attempt, was in the utmost state of destitution. He had been for twenty-four hours without a morsel of food, and thus pressed by hunger, borrowed of a wine-dealer, whose house he frequented, 10fr. upon a ticket from the MOnt de Piete. A porter who assisted him in his removal from his preceding lodgirg, declared that there were no arms among the articles he carried, and every person who was in the habit of visiting him have attested that they never saw any in his possession.
