cf num—Addresses of congratulation from all parts of Europe have pouted in upon the Emperor of the French ; even the King of Naples did not forget to express his sympathies, through the Austrian, Ambassador. But by far the most remarkable series of addresses are those which have been received from the army. Selections from them have been paraded in the Mon/leer, with an intimation that it may be useful for the country to be aware of the spirit that animates the army. These selected addresses have caused some sensation outside as well as inside France. A few extracts will show "the spirit which animates the army."

The Army of Lyons.—" In expressing our wishes that your Majesty's life, so intimately connected with the repose and prosperity of Prance, may be ever preserved from all parricidal attempts, it does not suffice the army to form a rampart round its sovereign ; it is ready to shed its blood in all places to reach and annihilate the artisans of regicide:'

The Fifth Lancers.—" The army is afflicted that powerful friends, whose brave armies so lately combated by our side, cover with their protection, under the name of hospitality' conspirators and assassins who exceed those who have gone before them in all that is odious."

The Nineteenth Military Division.—" This odious and cowardly attempt has filled our hearts with indignation and wrath against those who become the accomplices of these sanguinary anarchists by giving them an asylum." The Eielity-second Regiment.—" Those wild .beasts who at periodical epochs quit a foreign soil to inundate the streets of your capital with blood, inspire us with no other feeling than that of disgust ; and if your Majesty wants soldiers to get at these men, even in the recesses of their den, we humbly beseech you to choose the 82d Regiment as part of the ad- vanced guard of that army." As some passages in the addresses published have been omitted, it may be inferred that the spirit which animates the army went even beyond that of the Eighty-second Regiment. It is stated that the Cabinet of the Emperor is divided on the subject of what "repressive measures" it may safely take. In the mean time, the Mon item has published an Imperial decree, dividing the army into five great commands ; the head-quarters being at Paris, Nancy, Lyons, Toulouse, and Tours. Each division will be under the orders of a Mar- shal of France. And "in case of disturbances, but only in that ease, the Commandants Superior may, at their own discretion, effect such movements and concentrations of troops as they deem necessary." "Count Walewski," says a Paris letter in the Nord of Brussels, "sent off on the 22d a note to England, Belgium, Sardinia, and Switzerland, demanding, in the name of the French Government, certain measures respecting refugees, which may prevent the renewal of attempts at as- sassination. Everything," adds the letter, "leads to the belief that sa- tisfaction will be given to the French Government." Lord Cowley gave a ball on Monday evening, to celebrate the mar- riage of the Princess Royal. It was attended by the Emperor and Em- press and the Bonaparte family.

Stall I.—The overland mail arrived on Tuesday afternoon. The latest dates are Bombay December 29, Calcutta December 24. The papers brought by this mail contain little that is strictly new ; while they are full of versions of the engagements at Cawnpore. The news relates to the position and projected movements of Sir Colin Camp- bell. On the 19th December he was still at Cawnpore. Columns were on their way to occupy Akberpore, Etawah, and Mynpoorie ; and Sir Colin himself, it is stated on official authority, was to move against Futteyghur. The explanation of' this is, that part only of the rebels re- treated into Gude, the remainder flying up the Doab or across the Jumua. The object of Sir Colin Campbell was to clear the Doab before be moved into Oude. Sir James Outram stood fast at Alumbagh, with 4000 men. The great force of the enemy obliged him to be watchful. A column was preparing in the Punjaub to pacify Rohileund, and enter Oude on that side. The reported advance of Jung Bahadoor with 9600 Ghoorkas from Gorruckpore is confirmed on official authority. Colonel Franks, With three British regiments and a Ghoorka force, was to move from Jounpore upon Azinaghur, but not yet to enter Oude. Such seems to be tilC relative positions of the detached armies.

aior is -General Inglis, it stated, has superseded Major-General 1VMindham at Cawnpore. General Windham is to go to Umballa.

The mutineers of the 73d Native Infantry had reached Bhotan. A small force of Europeansand Ghoorkas from Julpigoree had attacked them, but had found their position too strong, and retired, without loss. The

11th Cavalry had been overtaken by Mr. Yule, Commissioner of Bhagul- pore, with some Ghoorkas and sailors. Several of the troopers were killed. The Chittagong mutineers, after murdering their women had moved into Sylhet ; and the Sylhet battalion, chiefly Ghoorkas, had been sent against them.

There is little news from Central India, but the little is of insur- rections. The columns of British troops seem to make slow progress. Three Native Bengal regiments were ordered for service in China. One, the 17th, had sailed.

trat.—A letter from one of the members of the British mission to Herat, of date 11th October, has been published. The writer says that he never witnessed in any Native court in India a reception like that given to the English by the Heratees. The people, however, were in a miserable condition. But they will be entirely with us if the British Government will pay for the repair in' the breaches, the acquisition of guns, and a store of ammunition.

g UR .—Advices from the Canton river to the 16th December have come to hand. Lord Elgin had under his orders 4200 soldiers, sailors, and marines ; and a large fleet. The French furnished 900 soldiers and sailors and some frigates. Mr. Reed, the American Minister, had sought to negotiate separately with Yeh, and had been rebuffed. On the 12th, Lord Elgin and Baron Gros sent in their demands. They comprised the opening of Canton, compensation for damage done to the property of British merchants, and the surrender of the island of Honan as a material guarantee. Yeh sent a sarcastic rejection of the terms. On the 16th the ships and gun-boats went up the river, and a force of 1000 men was landed on the island of Honan. The next step would be an attack on Canton. The Admiral had issued an order requiring the force to protect the lives and properties of peaceable Chinese, and declaring his intention to prevent plundering.

Lieutenant Ppm, of the Banterer, while walking on shore, had been suddenly attacked by a party of Chinese. .Five men were killed. Lieu- tenant Pym was shot through both legs, and when rescued by the boats of the Nankin was defending himself with sword and revolver. The whole of his party were hit, except Mr. Wurgman, an artist, and two sailors.

guitrir $tatts.—The Baltic arrived at Liverpool on Thursday, with advices from New York to the 16th January.

The papers contain but little news. The principal statement, indeed, is that the Mormons intend to move in the spring across the Columbia into-- the British possessions. The United States force had gone into winter quarters, and Brigham Young was engaged in maturing plans of resist- ance.

The Philadelphia Evening Journal has published a vigorous article on the physical deterioration of the American people, and the reason thereof.

" at we most want in this toiling country. is physical exercise. The brain is se going very early in life, and kept going until the oil gives out, and the machine jars and creaks itself still. We find out the impregnable fact th4the body is wofully neglected in our loud, tumultuous cities. Their mab denizens are nailed down to their business, which is almost always carried on in long, low stores, having an unstable temperature and an atmosphere thick and poisoned °They only go for a frenzied plunge

The immature lady, as far as we are permitted to judge by her overwhelming and distended dress, is suffering in like manner. Where are the roses which glow on the full cheeks and bursting lips of the unlaced, bouncing country girl? . . . .

e anair 11.—Advices from Canada to the 16th January state' that the new Ministry, on an appeal to the country, had been defeated in Upper and successful in Lower Canada. Three Ministers were ousted in the Upper Province, and the leader of the Opposition, Mr. Brown, was re- turned for Toronto. The question was much discussed, whether, under these circumstances, the Ministry should not resign rather than attempt to carry on the government by the aid of a Lower Canada majority.

One of the most powerful cries in the recent elections was the annexa- tion of the Hudson's Bay Territory to Canada.
