French subjects. In New Orleans.

--By the arrival of the schooner Mallory, the Mobile Advertiser and Register obtained a copy of the Havana Diaro des la Marina, of the 26th ult. from which it translates the following:

‘ To-day and yesterday the rumor has been current that the French Consulate in this city has chartered a merchant ship to go to New Orleans, for the purpose of collecting a pretty large number of Frenchmen who are in straitened circumstances in that city for want of employment. We believe there is some exaggeration in this report; but from what has come to our ears, it appears certain that there are in New Orleans some two hundred and fifty to three hundred French subjects who are suffering great privations on account of the paralysis in commerce and the went of occupation, and who desire to emigrate in order to employ their time usefully and their hands in gaining an honorable livelihood, but it is not exactly true that a vessel has been sent for them. Nevertheless, we are assured that the French steamer Milan, which went to sea yesterday, will go up to New Orleans, if there is no opposition, for the purpose of ascertaining the true condition of the French subjects in that city, and we do not doubt that the Consul of France in this city will take the proper measures permitted by the circumstances of the blockade to aid these unhappy people to emerge from the sad condition to which the lamentable war between the two great sections of the old American Union has reduced them.
