      Fatal Shipwreck . — On the morning of the 23 rd ot March , the ship Emma , of London . 4 . 50 tons register , from Honduras to Queenstown for orders wiih a valuable cargo of mahogany , logwood , &c , struck on a sunken rock a little to the east of Fileareel bay , Dunworley , aud instantly became a total wreck , when , melancholy to relate , fifteen out of the eighteen hands on board met with watery graves . It seems from what can be gathered from the survivors , that there was an head wind at an early hour that morning , which compelled them to tack , and a dense fog prevailing at ( he same time prevented them seeing where they were , until the

      PRANCE . The OrlkajJs PaoPBRTY .-Various decrees are puolisted in the ' Moniteur . ' n , i-. _ - Tbirtv-five millions worth of limber of the he Orleans property annexed to the State is to be sold , , ndot he jro . ceedsSOOOOOf . Rentes Four-and-a-HaU per Cent , to he allotted to the Legion of Honour . T « anlfaon . » devoted for the mutual asristancesoc fbes , «¦ mi honifor the melioration of ltbourerf dirdimpj , tea mill on for the encouragement of institution * of endit / onaer , asd fi-e millions for a retiring pension fund « r aniiting tfie poor

      clergy . By the 4 th ar ticle the chateau of Ramhomllet is appropriated for the establishment , under the dirfc'ion of the Giand chancery of the Legion of Honour , of a home of education , destined for the indigent daughtrs or ur » tian * of families whose heads have obtained the ml . tary medal . No fea-ure of the ordinance by which the property of ihe Orleans family was confiscated was more odious than the app lication of the spoils to ohjects of charity ; hecause it insnlted ihe public conscience , by the nffer . of a g ross bn * w , to wink at a gross violation of law and justice . Ti e clergy were the first to repudiate their share of the plunder . The honour of the array wa 3 affrontFd at the donation o the Legion of Honour from ao imuure a = ource . In short .

      every insir . mion tnat was to he enriched at the expense of the exiled princes saera-d disgraced bv the iniquitous gift . In the present decree the monstrous proceeding of the esacuMve power , in di-posing arbitrarily of fi'ty millions of the public money for the crpati » n of charitable institutions , appears in its true li * iit . The law of the budget orlert-d ihe sale of forests to the amount of fi'teen millions of f r- » ncs . The remaining thirty-five millions of the fifty millions authoiised to be raised in this way by the law of August 7 , 1850 , are now applied to the redemption of the ras > h pledges given in the decree of January 22 . The Bale o ' several domains of the Orl-ans family is also directed , although the proceeds , instead of being applied immediatel y to the purposes indicated in the decree of confiscation are to recruit the d 2 fiji ° nt treasury . Meanwhile a deht of upwards of eleven millions is created for the dotation of the Lsgion of Honour hy Faur-and a-Half per Cent , Kentea .

      The Chateau Rarahouillet is to be appropriated as a seminary for the daughters of the nvmbers of the order created by the dscree of the 22 nd <» f Jviuary . The Dnke of Morteraars , Generals Petit and P jat , the Archbhhsp of Paris , M . Binean , Minister of Finauce ; the Marquis < ls Barocais , and Baron lleckeren , are named senators . lS » r > ia \ la » ceased from S » n « Uy in all ihe departments of continental France .

The libraries of the public palaces are attached to the department ef the Mtnisier of Siate . A central council of the reformed churches is established in Paris . By decrees in tli «« M mitsur , ' a socie'y of credit fonder is authorised throughout the seven departments in the jurisdiction of the Paris Court of Appeal .

      The prefects are divided into ibree classes , members of the first of w ^ ich will receive a salary of 40 , 000 / . ; of the Becond , 30 , 000 ' ; and of the third . 20 * , 000 f . The Moniteur' also contains a circular of the Min i ster of Justice . exp ! a ninit several passages of the new law on the press , respecting which some differences of opinion prevailed . jThus , journals appearing every two days are to be classed n the categor . of journals published mure than three tinifs a week , and their editors are consequently obliged to deposit the caution money required from dail y papers , that is 50 , 000 f . A- « regards the report of the proceedings of the Legislative Body , the circular declares that the official minutes 0 ' the sittings of that body can neither be changed , altered , u * r mutilated , and that no other report can be Suffered to c-intrad'Ct it .

      The Prince President reviewed on Sunday three newl y arriv ' -d regiments of foot and two of cavalry in the court of the Tuileris . An immense crowd assembled to witness the Sight , amongst whom were genera ! cries of Vive Napoleon , ' a few only cried ' Vive l'Eupereur . ' The Prince was surrounded hy a brilliant staff . A boiv of 212 prisoners , srom the d-partment of the Saone et L'lira . coiid-mned to transpnnation , arrived at Lyons on the 21 st , and were lodged in the tort of Viiriolerie . A number of persons appeared in the streets to see the pri . Sonera pa « s , but no disturbance took plac . Thev were to proceed the next day on their way to Marseilles , where they are to embark for Algeria .

      INSTALLAT ON OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES . Declarations of Locis Napoleon . —On Moudav the President rezd his discourse before the great bodies of the State , at the Tuileiies . At one o ' clock the Prince President get forth from the Elysee in a carriage surrounded by a guard of honour composed of the Caratrinee . < B in Draw cuirasses and helmet , and on his way to the Tuilerira excited much curiosity and interest . Many cried Vive Napoleon' as he passed along , but there was nothing 1-ke z a'eus or extravagant enthusiasm . At the Tuilerie 3 a double line of soldiers was drawn up within the court , and the grand staircase was lined « iih Gendarmerie Mobile . As the cortege ali g hted , composed of ministers , with Prince Jerome and other important personages , the scene was very animated . All the time the cannon fired as in the time of the monarchy . The following passages were received with enthusiastic cheers : — -

      If peace 13 secured in France , it is not less so abroad . Poreign powers respect our independence , and we have the greatest interest to presets with them the most friendly relations . As long as the honour of France is not compromised , the duty of government is to avoid carefully all causes of perturbation in Europe , and to lend all its efforts towards internal improvement . 'On seeing me restore » he Empire ' s institutions and soiirenir * , it ha 3 been often repeated that I wished to reestablish the Empire itself ; if such h > d been my constant pre-ocenpation . this transformation would long sines have taken nlace . Neither the means nor the occasions have failrd me . ' Th » Pr « sideat then said that on the Uth December , 1848 on ib ^ 31-t June , 1849 . and las ' -ly , on the 2 nd of last D . cemb-r , the people would not have refused him a pompous title if he had asked it . He continued : —

      I am still resolved to-day , as I was before , to do every thing for France—not ' iing for myself . I would not accept of modifications of the present state of things unless compelled to it by evident necessity . From whence can this proccd ? Sol ? ly from the conduct of the parties ; if they submit , nothing will be altered ; but if , hy their secret proceedings , they would strive to undertime the basis of my government , then , but enly then , it mi ght he reasonable to demand from the people , in the name of the peacf . of Francs , a new title that would irrevocably fit on my head the power which it has invested in roe . 'Let us keep the republic ; it menaces nobid y , but reassures everyone . * The M ' nister of State thpn proceeded to administer the oath of fidelity , and obedience to the Constitution . The

      ceremony was very stmp l " , each person , on his name being called , rose , and stretching forth hia hand , said ' Je lejure . ' The first to take the oath was the Prince Jerome , and tl . en followed the calling over the names of the senators . One or two deaf elderl y gentlemen excited some little merriment by the ardour with which they made up for the delay occasioned b y their want of promptitude and not the least amused appeared the Prince President himself . Some sensation was evidentl y fel at the moment the names of Cm . Cava gnac and !!• Carnot were pronnunced by there being no reply , both hoa . members having absented themselves . Immediately after the swearing was over the Minister of State announced the sessions to have opened , and all separated . The cerensony did not occupy more than forty minutes .

      Of the Legislative Corps , M . Billault ' s name was He first called , as President of the Chamber of Deputies . M . Billsult responded with alacrity . But when it was apparent that the names beginnin ? with a C were commencing , every ear was on the watch . M . Cassabianca called out , as it seemed , a little louder than the rest , the name of General Cavaignac . There was a pause of Borne moments—no General Cavaignac replied , and no one for him . Still a pause of some seconds—and , the Minister went on . M . Carnot's name was then called—ao replv . The same panse , the same silence as before . M . Henon , " the newly elected Democratic deputy from Lyons , was also called , but did cot answer . There were also four or five other names to which no answer was returned . Nearly two sheets of the' Monitenr' ef Monday are filled with decrees of the President of the Republic , and the reports on which they are founded .

      The long talked of fusion , they say , is on the point of faking place between the two branches . It is merely re . duced to a question of etiquette . The Orleans princes de . mand that the Comte de Cuamhord shall pay the first visit to the Queen Araelie . The Bourbons will then agree on a manifesto , which is to be kept secret until the moment comes for a coup de main . They will then launch their agen ' s with millions inio France , to bribe the army and buy 3 military revolution . The Moniteur * of Tuesday contains a decree ordering the construc tion of an edifice on the system of the Cnstal falac , in the Rreat square of the Champs Elvsees , destined to receive the National Exhibition , and capal . leof serving off ' cJ * remoi » es and civil and notary fetes

      Murmurs were excited in the Chamber by the bold terras in which the proceedings of the government were characterised . It was agreed to leave out of theproces verbal all that cou'd he interpreted as offensive tu the s . uureme power of the * ta'e . The house then passed a declaration that the three members in question were to be considered as having resigned their seats , and the President took measures for deferrne to the government the appointment of a period for proceeding to new elections t 0 suppl y the place of the resisning members . M . de Renouard ' s resignation of his seat was announced in consequence of hia having accepted functions incompatible with the mandate of deputy . The S » nate also met . its sittings are secret . The President , J-rome Bonaparte , delivered an opening address , in which he repeated , for the thousandth time , the favourite pretences of Bjnapartism .

      Rumnnr has attached to the mission of Ihe Prince de Catiino to Rome , much significance in relation to the supposed design of restoring the empire . It is reported that the Prince de Canino , who arrived at Civita Vecchla in the Fr « m h st amer Telemaqtie , on the 23 'd of March was prevented from landing by a commissary of police , despatched by the Amis » olic delegate , governor of the Roman port . M . Charles Bonaparte represen ted in vain that he was the hrarer of despatches from the French government to M . de ( Uyneviil , envoy to the court of the Vatican , and General G-mean , commander of the French troops of occupation . The delegate only recogn ised in him the ex-President of the Roman C -nstituent Assembly , and the representative of a revolutionary partv .

      The vap-rs contain no remarks worth repeating on the President ' s speech . The Dehais , ' Presse , ' a-td 'Siecle ' are silent . M . de Miupas has signified to the 'Presse' that the opposition , moderate as it is , which that papsr mainians , will not bz tolerated . A new batch of senators is talked of . M . Emile de G'rardin has resumed bis editorial pen in the 1 Presse' newspaper .

      ITALY . ROME . —H ' 8 Holiness held a public consistory on the morning of the 18 h March , and presented the cardinal ' s bat to Cardinals Mathien , Archbishop of Besangon , created on the 30-h of September , 1850 , and Lucciardi , D'Andrea , they demanded and enforced in a great many inand Mirchini , just now created . The i fficial paper of the 18 th March announces that hia Holiness , hy a brief dated that day . has named Cardinal An tom-Ui his Secretary of State , which office he has hitherto discharged only as pro-secretary .

      GERMANY . PRUSSIA . —Berlin . —The Second Prussian Chamber in i t * sitting of Marsh 23 rd , rejected the bill on fiefs and en , tails , as passed by the Upuer House , and passed a resolution for rep ^ alitu the 40 th and 41 st articles of the con stitution , and substituting ethers which interdict the establishment of new fie s , and guarantee the abolition , by legislative means , of those which already exist . The Mimster of Commerce has issued instructions urginu the directories of all railroads only to emply on the lirn-s persons who , thev feel assured , will never make use

      of the facilities afforded hy their situation for forwarding democratic intelligence from place to place , - or in aay way favntirin ; the conveyance of suspected persons or packages . The people of BerHn have been greatly astonished by the seizure of two newspapers , one , the' Protestant , ' a religious journal ; the other , the ' Preussische Wochenblatt , ' lately founded , and still conducted , by M . Bethmann-Hollweg , one of the most eminent members of the Conservative party in Prussia . His Conservatism , however , has not restrained him from professing upon numerous occasions his dissatisfaction with the Manteuffel policy , its humiliations of Prussia , and its want of consistent vital principles .

      On the 27 th of March the First Chamber repeated its vote on the constitution of the peerage , by the majority of the former division . It is rumoured that the odious Hassenpflu ? and the Elector of Hesse are not likely to agret much longer . Each knows the other perfectly , and no affection is lost between them . Ha < senpflug opposes the very slender concession of the D et , which proposes to submit the constitution about to be promulgated tu the new chamber . The Elector , on the other han't , knows that in the end he must submit to tbe Diet , whose creature he is , and having a more valuable interest in the matter than bis minister , is it is said endeavouring to replace the latter . The protocol of the German fleet congress at Hanover is published , and proves that that meeting was practically a comnlete failure .

      AUSTRIA . —The British secretary of legation , Lord Wellesley , was interred on the 23 rd of March . He died in the flower of his youth . His remains were attended to the grave by the English Ambassadors at Frankfort and Carlsruhe , as well as by all the principal persons attached to the British embassy here , and members of the highest families . He was the nephew of the Duke of Wellington . By bis early death some of the principal English nobility are placed in mourning , V'URTEMBERO . —The Wurtemherg Diet is adjourned for an indefinite period .

A telegraphic dispatch from Hamburg , dated March 30 th , states that the Senate of Bremen , in accordance with the Federal Commissioner , bad the day before suspended the liberty of the press and the right of meeting , and had also dissolved the Chamber . A new Chamber will be convuked under a different form of election . Bremen was quiet . The Gazette de Voss' states that the constitution for Electoral Hesse will shortly be made public , and that the new States will be summoned . It is thought the state oi siege will not be raised till five or sis weeks after the constitution is promulgated .

      SWITZERLAND . On March 24 th , several persons were tried b y the tribunal o' correctional police of the town of Basle for insulting Louis Napole « n , by exhibiting a caricature of him , and singin * a sung containing offensive expressions in a procession during the carnival .

SPAIN . One of the secret police , Pedro A guso , the lieutenant of Chico , the Spanish Vidocq . has been arrested for having , with his son '« help , forged a mass of treasonab ' e correspondence , with the signatures of many of the most distinguished public men in the country , implicating them in a pretended conspiracy with the regicide Manin Menno . This villain has been recently dismissed from the service , but like many other ex-police agents had occasional jibs given him to do , by way of finding out crimii als difficult to be got at .

      The journal L « Nacton having published ^ iue days hefore aa article offensive to the Prince President of the French Republic , the French Ambassador , General Aupick , lodged a complaint with the Maiquis of Miraflores , who hastened to communicate it to his colleague of the Interior .

      MALTA . March 22 . —On Wednesday last Admiral Sir William Parker , Bart ., G . C . B ., left ihe Admiralty House , to proceed on board the Queen . Several staff officers assembled to bid farewell to the Commander in Chief of the naval forces . To them Sir Wm . Parker addressed himsalf , expressing the gratification he had ever experienced from the manner in which the heads of departments had seconded his views , and from the courtesies he had always met with from the public in Malta . The old admiral then embarked under a salute of fourteen guns from Furt St . Angelo , the ships in port manuing their yards .

      f he island is in a state of considerable excitement , to-day being fixed upon for the third reading of the Militia Bill in the Council . A 3 it is proposed , the measure is unpopular , not , as I believe , from the Maltese lacking the courage to defend themselves if attacked , but on account of the provisoes to deprive them of their civil liberties and privileges if they do not go out when called on . In a word , the measure has been proposed and carried before the people knew of it , and has been badly timed .

      INDIA . Telegraphic advices from Trieste of the 26 th of March inform us of the arrival oi the Adria . Negotiations having failed , and the Burmese continuing their insults , a force of 6 , 000 men—3 , 000 from Calcutta , and the same number from Madras—was to set out for Burraah on or about the 12 th of March . A squadron , consisting of six war steamers , had already left Bombay for the same destination , and will transport the troops from Madras to Rangoon . The force under Sir Colin Campbell baa returned to Peshawur . The following extracts are from the 'Bombay Times' : — ' We mentioned in our last the extreme anxiety of the Governor-General to avoid conflict , and to accept of any arrangeraent that could be made not consistent with our safety ami dignity to restore amicible relations with Burmah

      ; he was said to have disapproved of the abduction of the Burmese ship of war hy Commodore Lambert , and to have offered to restore her ; but he insisted on justice being done to our injured merchants . The proposition was treated with insolence , and replied to through the hands of a common labourer , and it became quite clear that all that was desired was to gain time—the Burmese sovereign had no intention to comply in any way with our behests . ' It then details the preparations for war , and proceeds— ' While these matters were being , arranged , despatches we > e received from Burmah professing a desire for peace : the first condition was that we should change the channel of communication to Major Bogle , the commissioner , instead of through Coramodore Lambert ; the arrogance of dreaming of prescribing to us how we should conduct our

      arrangements sufficiently indicated the temper of the monarch , so our preparations were pushed on . We have not leisure for a regular campaign , and should matters not Incompletely settled by the middle of May , the forces , after doing as much mischief as possible , will return to Bombay and Calcutta , to renew operations in October . The Burmese government will be compelled to recompense the British merchants for the loss already occasioned them , to meet all the charges of the war , and to admit hereafter a British resident within their country . The

      indemnity will most probably be exacted in the shape of a slice of territory ; should resistance became protracted , it is not improbable that we may annex as many of their provinces as we desire—the foundation , in all likelihood , of the acquirement of the whole magnificent peninsula ; and on this occasion we seem to have justice on our side , and to have acted with extreme moderation . India throughout continues tranquil , but there are strange rumours of an intended outbreak of the Moplabs in Malabar .

      Loss op the Brig James Ray . —On Saturday night the English brig James Ray , Lang master , arrived at Malta , with his crew ( elsven in number ) in his longboat . It appears from the facts we are enabled to collect , that the brig left Trieste on the 12 th of March , with a cargo of grain , morocco leather , and cotton , for Liverpool ; weather l .-esh . On the 19 th she sprang a leak early , which gained rapidly , the crew constantl y employed at the pumps , and all endeavours to free her were fruitless . The pumps became

      shortly after chocked by the grain , and the captain , finding all hopes of saving his ship gone , determined on abandoning her .
