LATEST FROM FRANCE.
The brig Oron, Smith, has arrived at Boston, from Bordeaux. She brings papers of the 17th ult. containing Paris dates of the 13th which our correspondent has enclosed us, with much valuable ship news.
These papers state, that the rebels in Tours, Saumur and Angers have been dispersed without difficulty, several have been arrested, and the troops have manifested the most loyal disposition.
There appears to have been large collections of the people of Paris, in different streets, hostile to the missions, which has produced the necessity of ordering out bodies of infantry and light cavalry to be stationed in different positions. A proclamation was issued by the police, announcing the disturbances occasioned by the mobs, and the determination of government to disperse them, and requesting all good citizens to abstain from mingling in the crowd.
In the first chamber of the Tribunal, judgment has been pronounced in the case of Mons. Montholon, Bertrand and Marchand, against Mons. Lafitte, the banker, by which they recognized his offer to deposit the sums received by him from Napoleon Bonaparte into the court; authorise him to make the deposit at the expense and risk of all whom it may concern.
They also declare, that counts Montholon, Bertrand and Marchand cannot for the present receive their demand, and amerce them in costs of suit.
It is mentioned that the king of England would visit Paris, in the month of June next.
At Paris on the 11th 5 per cents were from 89f 10c to 90f 85c. March 13, 5 per cents from 88f 40c to 88f 60c. Exchange had declined, but little demand for paper, and silver was abundant.
