, Some very interesting discoveries have been
made by Lieutenant Dlendon, who was commis
sioned by tho Government, to make explorations
up the Iluallaga a tributary of the river Amazon
in Brazil. lie has succeeded in bringing to light
very important facts in Natural History, lie
has discovered a prodigious bat ' two feet across,'
with teeth like a miniature tiger. It is of the vam
pyre stripo, and keeps watch and ward in apart

Hicn, with tuiis. Tho tails are about fuur inches
wide and six inches long. They are kept at that
length by being cut off once a inontji. Provi

Senator Price, violated pledges rnado by him pri

portion's of tho letter which the Emperor Napo-
hon addressed to the Cfcar in January last :
"Falack of the TniLKRKEiv, Jan. 29, 1154.
'Sire The ' difference which has arisen be
tween your Majesty and the Ottoman . Porte has
assumed such a grave aspect that I think it right
myself to explain directly to your. Majesty ;the
part which . France has taken . in this question,
and the means which suggest themselves tome
in order to avoid the dangers which menace the
tranquility of Europe.
"The note which your majesty has just sent
to. my Government, and to that of Queen Yicto-
ria, endeavors to prove that it was the system of
presnre adopted from the commencement .by the
two maritime Powers which alone involved the
question in bitterness. On the contrary, accord
ing to my view, "the matter would have:continued
a Cabinet question if the occupation of the two
F-rincipalities had not sutldenly traneferred it
from the reuion of discussion of that faql. .Ne
vertheless, although our majesty's troops had
entered Wallachia,, we advised the Torte not to
consider (hat, occupation as a warlike act, thus
proving. our extreme desire for conciliation. Af
ter I had consulted , with England, Austria and
Prussia, proposed to your bajosty a pot,
signed to give satisfaction to all. Your Majesty
accepted it. We, had hartily, however, been in
formed of this good news, when Jour Minister
by explanatory commentaries, destroyed all the
conciliatory effects of it, and thus prevented us
from insisting at Constantioople upon its , pure
and simple adoption. The Porte, for its own
part, suggested some modifications in the note to
to which the representatives of the Four Powers
at Yienna were not indisposed to agree. They
were not, however, agreed to by your Majesty.
It was then that the Porte, wounded in its digni
ty, its independence threatened, n leing com
pelled to raise an army to oppose that of your
Majestv, preferred to declare war rather than re-
main in a state of uncertainty ana iiumiiiry.
The Porte bad rla'nncd our Support : the 'ca'Te

thought it. necessary to f-eud troops to the a.-is-tance
of Turkey. Their flag, theref.ire, was not
engage-d in the conflicts which took place upon
land. But at sr. a it was very di'l'tretit. There
were at 'the entrance to the Bosphorus 3. '('('guns,
the existence of which proclaimed loudly enough
to Turkey that the two leading rr.aritirr:e Powers
would not al'.ov- her to be attacked by sea. The
a Hair at Sinoje wss fir us, very unexpected:
for rt matters little to us wheihor or rot ti e
Turks wished to convey munitions of war t.; the
