FRANCE. The order recently issued for dismant ling Strasburg and other strong fortres ses has been recalled by the French go vernment, but on. what grounds we have nut heard it explained. The affair of the Duchess de Berri has given rise to many surmises. On the 22d Feb. the Duchess handed to Gen. Bngeaud, Governor of the citadel of Bi iye, the following declaration: "Impel led by circumstances, and by the mea sures ordered by the Government, alt ho' I h id the most weighty reasons for keep ing my marriage secret, 1 think it due to myself, as well as to my children, to de clare that 1 was secretly married during iny residence in Italy." This declara tion of the Duchess must be the death bbtvv to the legitimate party. Everv one recollects the general reprobation which followed through all Europe the marriage of Marie Louisa with Count Neiperg. That of the; Duchess, in whom and on whose son all the hopes of the legitimates centred, will be more generally blamed. BELGIUM. The King of Holland, according to Brussels accounts of the 5ib, had refused to comply with the summary demand of France and England, and declared him self ready to meet all the consequences of such refusal. We see not how, under th cicumstances,the march of a French army and the sailing of a British fleet a gninrt IL Hand is to be avoided for these were the alternatives stated by Tal leyrand and Lord Palmerston, in case of the non-compliance of the King of Hol land by the 15th March. SPAIN. The most perfect tranquility prevails at present, not only in the Spanish capi tal, but over tlieSpanish portion of the pe ninsula. The seditious movements in the province of Leon, which had indeed never excited any great a rm, had been put down without any difficulty or delay. Spain, under the liberal and enlighten ed auspices of the Queen-regent, will, it is said, acknowledge the independence of all her ancient possessions in the West ern hemisphere Cuba, of course?, ex cepted, which would benefit greatly by opening a trade with the revolted States. PORTUGAL. A packet from Lisbon has brought let ters of the 15th tilt, but they contain lit tle news. Jt is stated that great mortali ty from typhus fever had taken place a moug the troops of Miguel, and that he, with his sister, was expected shortly to return to the capital. Some new levies of troops are said to have been ordered, and more activity was observable in the arsenal,where exertions were making to put the John VI. ship of the line, and a frigate into a state fit for service. The affairs of Don Pedro are spoken of as assuming a more promising aspect disease and bad supplies having very much impaired the efficiency of the Mi guelite army. turkey. The Algemeim. Z. itung has several letters from Vienna and Constantinople of thf 5th Feb. from whirl, jt appeared that Ibrahim had left Koninh and advan ced to Akschehir or to Kmt ,in, and tha, UlQ advanced posts were approaching Brussn, which had been abandoned by the Turkish troops, who retreated to Ni co media. The Sultan had therefore applied to the RUssian Ambassador, Count Buten loff, for the promised aid of a Russian fleet to defend the channel; and the Am bassador had accordingly sent orders to Sebastopol, but he had declined ordering the advance of a Russian land force, which was requested by the Divan. He does not seem to be authorized to grant this request,, as a courier has been des patched to St. Petersburg for instruc tions. These letters contain various speculations on the conduct of the Euro pean Ambassadors, which, however, are put an end to by the official news that the Austrian Internuncio had announced the acceptance by the Viceroy of Egypt of the proposals offered by the Sultan. This news is given both by the Austrian Observer and the Algemeine Zeitung. It has caused incredible joy in the Turkish capital, where, however, perfect tranquil ity already prevailed. ITALY. The Austrian and French troops are about to be withdrawn from the Roman Slates. The Austrian army (particular ly as respects the Bohemian regiments,) is on the point of being considerably re duced. The garrison of Mayence is to be forthwith placed on the peace estab lishment. SOUTH AMERICA. Mexico.

The Georgetown Gazette of the 11th, says: The recent investigation entered into with so much spirit in relation to the late fire at the Treasury, was closed on Sat urday evening last about 8 o'clock. The result had not transpired yesterday." The Baltimore Gazette says: A re port is very current in this city, and sup posed to be well founded, that the late destruction of the Treasury building in Washington City by fire, was caused by design and not accident.

The Mails. There are few persons, perhaps, who are aware of the enormous weight of the Mails in some parts of the country. We have seen a statement of the mails, and it consisted of three port manteaus and twelve canvass bass weighing the enormous weight of 3318 pounds. It is said the Christian advo cate alone weighed 1500 pounds. A letter from the New York office, accom panying the above statement, says: "This is not only a light day with us; but there is forwarded every day, papers and pack ages by two or three other mail con veyances which are not included; nor are the quarterly accounts included, which will weigh enormously." If, in addition to this load, Admiral Rceside has to drag with it several acres of the New Jersey soil, as the United States Gazette face tiously observed, we think he has an ar duous task to perform, and has some claims to the clemency of the editorial corps.

The political affairs id that country were in an unsettled condition. The treasury was exhausted, and the soldiers clamor ous for their pay.

This requisition being refused, a bill was passed, and only wanted the sanction of! tngton correspondent of the New York Standard states, in relation to the burning of the Treasury, that the fire commenced in the room of a subordinate chirk, and that "little doubt seems to be entertained that some gross malfeasance existed which the conflagration has tend ed to conceal from the Head of the De partment whether raised for that pur pose or not. ffFThe II on.

Con. Freemasonry. The National Intelli gencer of the 11th inst. contains a long pungent letter from John Q. Adams, to Edward Livingston, Secretary of State on an Address published by the latter threeyears ago, as General Grand High Priest of tjie Grand Royal Arch Chap er of the United Slates, in which he com plains of the persecution raised against Execution. On Friday last the negro Washington, property of Mr. Richards of this county, sentenced to death at our last Superior Court, for the murder of Mr. Charles Daniel, was executed in pur suance thereof. We do not believe it would answer any good purpose to give a detailed description of this 'end of a transgressor,' and we shall therefore briefly notice the leading incidents, and leave it to pass into the shades of ob livion. At an early hour in the morning the village began to be filled with people; the volunteer company and the troop of cav alry were early under arms, and all the necessary preparations were made for mov ing to the place of execution. At a bout 12 o'clock, the convict was taken from the prison, and in the custody of the Sheriff, he was escorted by the military to the Gallows, which had been erected on the Poor House Tract, about a mile from town. Having reached the spot, the prisoner ascended the scaffold. The assembled crowd took their places around the Guard, in the surrounding trees, &c. and has been variously estimated nt from 3 to 6000 persons. The criminal appeared to be uncon cerned about his fate, and looked upon the assembled multitude with the most astonishing indifference. His voice was firm, and his whole system appeared to be perfectly at ease. He stood up, or rested in different positions as seemed best to suit his inclination. He address ed the crowd in an audible voice, and ac companied his words with the most ener getic action, stamping with his feet, &c. The purport of his speech, so far as we could gather it, was that he was innocent of the charge for which he was about to suffer, that the murderer was yet out; but he did not know who did the deed. He warned his colored brethren against drinking spirits said that love of drink had brought him to what he was, &c. He declared his willingness to die, and said he had rather be where he then was, under the gallows, with his sins forgiven, than to be at large with their burden of iniquity upon his conscience, &c. He called tw colored men to him and made some communications in relation to his wife, &c. After considerable delay, during which he repeatedly denied any participation in the murder of Mr. Daniel, the Sheriff proceeded to the discharge of his painful duty. Haying tied the hands and secu-
