AFFAIRS IM BUROPE. The Carnival at Rome. MOVEMENTS O° AMERICANS ABROAD. [From s Rome letter of Feb. 25.) The great fest nt of the year closed yester- day, and to-d 10 Roman world is buried io sackclock and a: Notes of preparation for de- parture are heard at every side, and the lish whe thronged the Corso during the last ten days, are going to Floreove and Naples, whilst a certain number are bound for Paris and London. On the whole, the season bas been, compared with former years, # failure, «nl the carnival bas exhibited an immense falling n the spirit and variety of tho amusements. In fiet, the once cel carnival at Rome is degen: 1g into ® very commonplace, and, | may say, ¥ affair—and like many other public amusemer ch as the legitimate drama— a great bore in my opinion—it is going rapidly into tlisuse. None of the Roman nobility will now pe tronive it—the only carriages seen in the Corso be- long to patrician or plobeian strangers—and if, from any circumstance, English did not appear, the mob alone w ave complete possession of the place. In ¢ mes, it was the fashion to fing bouquets, m less valuable, from the bal- conies to the pr cenieee, and from the car- riagos to each belcons, as well as large quantities of sweetmeats and s plums. Now you find that the commonest garde eods are made up for bouquets, _ and that a composition oflime and sand, to represent Comfetti in general use. Sometimes malicious persons enclose stonos, or balls of filth, in the bou- quets, and as to the lime dust, only imagine a y i » handfull, or a bowl fall, in runs of her sight being wire mask which every one at the moment. One or two his kind have occurred. The horse racing without riders, which once was sn in- teresting and inspiring display, has likewise dege- nerated into a cor between the old hacks of the postmaster, which uo longer fit for active ser- vice. The cur dogs that start at the same time are most commonly most in the race, and if there be one tolerable bexst among the lot, he wins every | day, and of course caries off all the prizes. To add to the discomfort of year, the weather has been most wretched; a © ortheast wind has prevailed during the whole week, and has prevented many who might have been seenin the Corso from appear- ing. As if all these ses were not sufficient to ruin the carnival, i s, have added the A plan was formed, it. v d, on last Thursday, at the moment when the gun announced the close of the Festa, to fall uy ‘es, and pillage of the neigh be im the tee that ob would ri a overpower the French troops. The police were informed of the design, and at the moment of its intended preparation, a large body of troops was ed into the Corso, and a ewasmade. In my great number of political an opinion no such conspira’ sted, but Rome is fuil of professional thieves, and ] should not be surprised ita plan for robbery and pillage, to which the name of a political demonstration has been givon, was organized. We have had the usual number of profitable to hotels and shopkeepers. This has peon a sad disappointment to those of the botter class, who, at immense expense, decorated their magazines, and imported large stocks of London and Paris luxuries. Not only are the numbor and rank of our visiters indicated on the books of the varioue hotels, and by the lists of strangers kept at Piale’s excellent news-room, but the attendance at the Protestant church, just outside the walls, is taken ag afair test, and it was remarked that on last Sunday, the very height of the season, not more than 500 formed the congregation. I must, how- ever, give you some names, in order that you may judge, not only what we are, but who we are. the first place, we have the great London bankoer, Mr. Lloyd, now Lord Overstone; then we have the Earl St. Germains, Lord Middleton, Lord Kintere, Lord Fielding, Lord Cae ee Lord Walpole, and the young Lord Ribblesdale, with others whose names I cannot at this moment bring to mind. We have alsu the Right Hon. Mr. Nicholl, Lane eral Drummond, Major-general Lindsay, and Majer- enoral Moore, Colonel and Mrs. Lockwood, Colonel falcolm, and a vast nuamber of other persons of greater or lesser importance. The season openod with the grand reception at Cardinal Altieri’s, where everybody of the least pretension to fashion was soon, and a display of diamonds made which in ne place can be sui On these occasions all the great families produce their richest treasures ; and tho Princess Doria Pamphili, our beautiful and amiable cOuntrywoman, and the lovely Neapolitan Princes Torlonia, and the Countess Graziolt, were covered with jewels. There are historical recotlec- tions connected with the brilliants of the two first great ladies, but those of the third are of more re- cent acquisition, ax her husband is the son of a per- son who gained a colossal fortune in commercial op- erations, and, of course, the diamonds are not here- ditary. We have had organized rooeptions every ‘Tuesday, at M. de Rayneval’s, the French Am- bassador. at General Gemeau’s, the Commander- in-Chief, where the honors were done with grace by the Countess de Rayneval, and with an cle- gance and cordiality that won every heart by the Countess Gemeau and her daughters. We had a very splendid fancy ball st the Countess Gersderff Reventlow’s, ana quadrille balls innumerable at tho ih #. The three bankers, name- i . , Mr Plowden, and Mr. Hooker, the latter American, vied with each other in grand jays. No less than fifteen hundred of all ranks Bed the immense palace of the Prinee, but as the suppor-rooms were not opened till three in the mor- ning, much discontent among the hungry guests was exhibited. Mr. Hooker gave his ball at the Palace Nogrini to at least five hundred, but there a better aarangement was made, and the delicasies of the seasou and the iced champagne came into play at midnight. Mre. Plowden’s ball was a truly elegant affair, as her rooms are magnifieent, and ay the desorations, musie, and ents left nothing to be desired. The supper and the champague were per- fect in all respects. Mrs. Colonel Lockwood's hall was eiso most elegantly arranged. The dancing- room is one of the largest in Rome, and as it was radiant with light, glowing with youth and beauty, the fine effect may be imagined. Unfortu- nately, some of the modern palases are 80 badl, built‘ that many families who meant to give balls were compelled to chango them into routs, as the floors wore not safe for cing: and in one case, at Mr. Drummond’s, where all was su; d to be solid, a beam cracked, and, if the polka had con- tinued, the whole company would have gone down to the first floor, to the millinery rooms of Mmo Naroisso. Fortunately notice was given in time to atop the dancing, or else I should have had dire disasters to relate. Mr. Gibson’s magnificent statue of Sir Robest Peel is nearly completed I speak of the model in clay. for the marble 1s but the eopy of the plaster cast. It is a work of art of the highest order, full of the dignity of the statesman aod the orator, without descending into mannerism. Three models were, by order of the government, submitted by the sculptor, and the work on which he is now ongaged ie that selected. It is seven feet and @ half in height, and colossal so far as to admit full play to the fine features of the great minister, as well as to the classic folds of the pery in which the person is clad. Mr. Macdonald has just com- pleted Lis Venus, and his studio is full of repetitions ordered of many of his celebrated works; among whioh my favorite is the Becchante arranging hor flowing locks. Mr. Gibson is equally full of coum sion for copies of hie former statues, and a Venui now nearly completed—a fine work in all respects. must not omit doing justice to the colossal statues of Washington and Patrick Henry, just executed for bronee by Mr. Crawford, an American artist, as they are full of grand inepiration: or to the delicate and re- fined cast by another American artist, Mr. Maziere, of the Indian maiden Pocohantss, which may take its place among the most graceful works of modern art. It is difficult to learn what are tho causes of the (alling off in the numbers, wealth, and rank of our aanual visters. I am inelined to attribute it to the operation of free trade, as the landed pro- ietors are too poor to come abroad, and the manu- oturers ponte! Mas at home to profit by the system. e Americans, however, diminish in the same proportion; and not only does com- merce suffer by the fact, but all the artists com- plain, and no orders have been given in any of the studios, save those to which I have alluded. "I must not omit, among the most atiractive pleasures of this carnival, to mention the amateur pluys given by several English artiete in the private theatre of the Palazro Cosarini. Sheridan's “Rivals,” with the farce of the ‘‘ Damb Belle,” were acted on tho first night, and ‘ The Oritie,” with ‘* Done on Both ides,” on the secend. The three ladies who did us the honor to perform were among the fairest of the fair daughters of Albion, and, as their costumes were splendid, the effect their personal charms, thus arrayed, produced, wae striking heyoad description. ‘The amateur gentlemen played a¢ amateurs gene- rally do, with the exeeption of Bob Acres in the comedy, and Poff in ‘The Critic,” who brought down great applanse by their «pirit und originality. All the Roglsh, Roman, and mn nobility at- fended those performances. Wo have hnd vocal concerts, given by mnvanlight, by Gorman artists in the Colosseum; and, on § day nen. last, the German artists gave a grond boll to their friends, an e lo which was followed on Sunday by Academy. Monday night was shared by the lotic banquet to the ory of Washington, | held by the American residents and visitors, aud hy the Countoss de Rayneval’s grend Dall The Democratic and Social Republic, | (From Galignen!’s Memenger, Feb. 2 } case was tried three days aR by the Court of of the Department of the Nievre. ‘A woman named Reine Fleury, of Bourres La- was indicted for having her husband. ad been married twelve years, had one child, Fr ted always lived bappil together.

Tho pub- | lic prosecutor, in addressing the jury, branded in strong terms the secret societies; but intimated that, under the very peculiar circumstances of the case, the jury might, without injustice, show indul- | genee to the necused. On this a verdict of acquittal | was returned, and the poor woman, after a solemn | address from the President, was set at liberty. Affairs in France. | THE GOSSIP OF PARIS—1 TEW BETWEEN Louis | NAPOLEON, Z0T, Mi LEMBERT, AND THE | DUKE OF MOUCHY—FACTS AROUT CROMWELL. [From a Paris letter of Feb, 25, in London Chronicle. ] Twodays ago, the President availed himself of | the occasion of a visit paid to him by the Duke de | Mouchy, to speak to that gentleman on the subject of affairs in general. It was the first time that the | Duke de Mouchy (who is a legitimist) had hada | private audience’ with “his Imperial Highnoss.” After the usual preliminaries, the President re- | uested the Duke to give him some information asto | the state of public opinion on the position of affairs. Tho Duke de Mouchy replied that after the 2d of | December pubtic opinion was in general excoedingly favorable to. the causo of the President, but that | he was bound to say that a change had since taken place. He declared that the persons who furmod the entourage of the President, and those who oceu- pie the highest functions in the government, wore far from inspiring the country with confidence ; and that some of the acts of the President himself had had an injurious effect upon his position in the pub- lic esteem, because they seemed to sbow more vin- dictiveness (‘‘ passion” was the word ho used) than people imagine him capable of. The Duke do Mou- chy having then stopped, tho President requested him to express his fee ngs and opinions clearly and freely ; upon which the Duke do Mouchy went on to say that the decrees for the confiscation of tho pos- sessions of the House of Orleans had shocked tho feelings of the country, not only as an impolitic measure, but as a measure wanting beth in juotice and morality. Upon this the President interrupted him, and said “What! Monsieur le Due, does it become you, who are a Legitimist, to blame a measure, the object of which is to annihilate the influence of fhe family of Orleana, which for the last sixty yoars bas been the cause of so many misfortunes to this country ?" The Duke de Mouchy replied that he had only expressed what he knew to be the opinion of the Swe number of Jegitimists; and he added that jonest people, of parties and all shades of opinion, partook in the same sentimonts. At these words the “‘ Prince President’ suddenly rose, and bowed Wis new adviser out in so brusque a manner that the Duke de Mouchy left the Elyséc in a towering pawion. His indignation is probably the reason why the conversation has reached the pub- lic, for the Duke has since declaved, in some of tho principal salons of Paris, that the reception he mot with was but small encouragement to him to rovisit the Elysée; and that he would consider twive bofore he gave his advice a second time, if it were asked. So ended a conversation the correctaess of which, I believe, will not be denied, as my informant de- claros that he will youch for its authenticity. T shal] only add that the Duke de Mouchy (ho is the head of the great family of Nonailles) refused tho place of Senator, but he is an independent caygdidate for a seat in the Legislative corps. AsI am in the way of gossip, I may as well give another little anecdote which shows tho animosity of Louis Napoleon to the family of Louis Philippe. It has become a proverb that there is no enemy so bitter as the one on whom you have con- ferrod a favor, and it certainly is true with respect | can offer him. After this conversation, which of course | the formal presentation of the newly clected academicians took thoir loave and It did not poser ype cha othgaad ee Be dent appeared an: to show very marked atten- tions to M. de Montalembert, as if he wished to ef- mea.” followed face, in the eyes of those prosont, the last trace of the st oe which had occurred between him and leman in consequence of the do- crees of the of January. Previous to those do- crees.M. de Montalembert, who had formed part of tho Consultative Commission, had also consented to acce] ger Cree eed biggest fo Spee but tho r the decrees he resi ia it of Commissioner, and this resignation implied Tho Te- fusal of that of Senator. Since then the Preaidont on several occasions attempted, but without result, to mako him change his mind. Neither kindness of language, nor promises, nor even menaces produced any effect on the mind of M. de Montalembert, who seemed to havo dofinitively broken with the Elyséo, and he declared such to be the fact in the most decided terms. Yet it would appoar that a reconciliation has boon brought about, and the Prosident’s object, no doubt, was, that it should so appear to the distin- guished persons present at the interview, and who are of opinion that he has succeeded. The circumstances which have contrikuted to that reconciliation are not devoid of interest. M. do Montalembert, who refused to be a senator, hascon- sented to bocome a candidate to the Legislative Corps for tho Department of the Doubs. When these pretensions were first made pablics thoy pro- duced an unpleasant effect on the President and bis ministers. The attitude assumed by M. Montalem- bert since the deorees of the 22d of January, tho justand decided condemnation of those deorees, the iterpretation given to certain allusions in his re- ception discourse, all impressed on the candidature of M. de Montalembort a particular stamp, and in- dicated a spirit of future opposition, by no moans agreeable to the government. This fear was not without cause; M de Montalembert is well known, and enjoys no small degree of popularity in the Doubs; ho has the weDneee ofthe clergy, who are pow- erful throughout the whole of the old Franche-Comté; and if the government ventured to oppose him there, it exposed itself to defeat. Aftor mature de- liberation, ii was thought better to make common cause, and the government interest was tendered to him. The proposal was accopted, but he still re- mains free and independent as a candidate. Ho has taken no pledge, and, asa deputy, will follow the line of conduct ho may think most suitable; and, afier all, he is not, perhaps, sorry to be able to add to his personal advantages thoso the government This avrangement was tho first pledge of reeonciliation. Now for the socond:—M. Ke Montalembert can scarcely be rogarded as a roy- alist or aliberal, a republican or an Elys¢ean—he is simply what is termed a Catholic—a Catholic as the term is understood by the clergy, or rather by the Jesuits—an wtramontam. He is, beyond al uestion, one ofthe most important members of the Catholic party, and most looked up to. His mind is no common ono; it is cleyated, energetic, active, | impartial, absolute, and rather disposed to domina- tion. The Electric Telegraph tn England. The half yearly meeting of the proprietors was held on Saturday, the 29th ult., at the central sta- tion, in Lothbury, the Chairman, Mr. J. L. Ricardo, M.P., presiding. The accounts show an available balance of £14,701 12s. 8d. Of this sum the directors recommend tho di n of £9,369 9s., which will produce a dividend at tho rate of six per cent per annum upon both classes of shares, leaving a balance of £5,332 38. 3d. to the eredit of the noxt half year. The capital ac- count, to the end of December last, showed a receipt upon the shares of £330,000; sundry liabilitios, as r ledger, £34,981 19s. 9d.; reserved fund, £68,534 6s. 9d.; balance, £14,701 12s. 3d.; total £428,213 86. 9d. On the other side, the cost of telegraphs, completed and in progress, inclusive of the cost of tents, was £361,731 18s. 8d., other items (‘nclud- ing £26,370 193. 7d. cash and securitics in hand), £76,486 10a. 1d.; total £448,218 83.9. Tho reve- nue account forthe half year ending December 31 showed receipts for messages, subscriptions, and contracts, amounting to ,336 83. 10d.; and ex- penses amounting to £15,979 168. 7d.; loaving a alanco of £8,681 12s. 3d. The tet) having been received and adopted, formal resolutions carryin; out its several recommendations, and making a divi- dond at the rate of six per cont, wore also agreed to; Mr. George Wilson and Colonel Wylde were ro- elected directors, and Mr. Albert Ricardo was re- appointed an auditor. Another Wikoff Case. The Gazette des Tribunaux has tho following: A young female, in possession of a largo fortune, met, last summer, at a watering place near the Pyré- nées, 8 young man who lived in grand style, and who pretonded to be on friendly terms with the prin- cipal personages of Parisian society. He tormented her with his attentions to such am exteat that sh was ehieee to return to Paris with her daughter. Having learned from her femme-de-chambre that the child was of idegitimato birth, he, shortly after her return, posscased himself of the ehild, and dis- red. His object was to constrain tho female either to marry him, or to give him a sum of money But as a prosecution was commenced against him, he deemed it prudent to restore the child. The lady heard nothing further of the adventurer. She sub- quently met an elderly man in society, who paid her great attention, and to whom, after a while, sh confided the management of some of hor interests A few days ago this man pressed her strongly to go and sce a chateau in the environs of Saint Cloud, which was for sale on peculiarly advantageous terms. She felt great distrust, and after some hesitation, determined not to go without informing the police. to Louis Napoleon, whose life was twice spared by Louis Philippe after it had been justly forteited to the offended laws of the country. A few days ago, Monseigneur Thiebault, the bishop of Montpelier, dined at the Elysée. After dinnor the venerable relate took the qppprtuniy. of soliciting the favor of uis Napoleon that he would do something fora person who had fallen into distress, an old servantof the elder branch of the house of Bourbon, and a ro- ly ; in goal with her neighbors, learned tit the ved forabcan sooialinta rege Kcmipg + lative of Charles X.’s minister, the Baron de Capelle. Louis Napoleon at once assured the bishop that he was glad of the opportunity, andthat if he would state how the person in question could be served, his suggestion would be immediately acted upon. En- couraged by his success, the bishop ventured a little further. He said that he had also to solicit the pro- tection of the President in favor of an old servant of the house of Orleans, who, since the revolution of 1848, had fallen into poverty and distress. The hu- mane bishop soon discovered his mistake. The Pro- sident, in a rage, cried out, ‘Ah! pour celui-la rien, rien, rien !”? much to the astonishment of the bishop of Montpelier, who, no doubt, was glad to find that he had escaped the treatment that the ‘‘ needy knife- grinder” met, in nearly similar circumstances, from another “ friend of humanity.” [From a Paris letter of Feb. 25, in London Times.) The visit paid by M. Guizot to the President of the republic, on the 18th inat., for the purpose of presenting M. de Montalembert, the newly elected member of the Freneh Academy, bas excited some attention, and no trifling curiosity. When these gentlemen, wearing tho official cos- tume of academicians, were introduced, they were exceedingly well received by the President. One of the first he addressed was M. Guizot; and be expressed himeclf happy that his functions of Direc- tor of the Academy had procured him the pleasure ofreeeiving him twice at the palace of the Elysée, and he added, ‘I regret that that pleasnre is not ottener repeated.” He held out his hand to M. do Montalembert with all the appearance of warm cor- diality, and inquired, apparently in an affec- tionate manner, as to the state of his health. The conversation then turned on the Academy, and the President asked if it was still composed ot forty members! Phe question raised a smile in the of M. Viilemain, and it it were seri- ously put, or without uny other motive than mere inquiry, it is no wonder it should, as it is difficult to believe there isa man in France who is ignorant of the fact; the Quarante de [Academic ancaise are os wel) known as the existence of the Academy itself. The President then asked M. do Montalembert aad M. Guizot how they intended pass- ing their time ;—if they proposed spending any por- of the summer in the country. He spoke to M. Guiaot about his History of the English Revolution, and wished to know if he intended continuing it, and of writing, for instance, the History of the Gov- ernment of Cromwell. M. Guizot replied in the af- firmative, adding that on the two occasions of his residence in England, in 1840 as Ambassador, and in 1848 a an exile, he had collected documents and other materials of the greatest importance relative to that period, and which had as yet never been a lic ; that those documents had been in- trusted to him by the descendents of the historical ersonages who were cotemporaries of Cromwell Poth partisan end adversaries ; that he was indebted to the kindness of the actual possessors of those rs for the eommunication of the archives of their families ; and that in other respects he had been en- abled te collect materials of great value, which threw new light on that period of the history of England. As that moment M. de Montalembert observed that for the last twenty years a good deal of interest hae been excited about Cromwell and his government, and that the Protector was judged at the present time with much more impartiality and indulgence than before. ‘Such is the fact,” observod Louis Napoleon, ‘snd it is so truly the ease, that, after along discussion, the resolution was adopted of admitting the statue of Cromwell in the ailerioe of the new palace of Westminster.” “The 5° | tion was propored somewhat differently,” said M. Juizot; ‘the desire was manifested to place in the allery of Westminster the statues of the kings and those of the great men of England ; the discussion only as to whether the statue of Cromwell should be admitted in the series of kings, or merely in that of the great mon. It was decided that Cromwell could not well be placed among the kings, and, con- sequently, bis statue will figure amongst the great When, on an appointed day she went, police agonts were stationed near the house. She found in it, to her astonishment, her quondam friend of the water- ing place, who, with horriblo threats, tried to make her sign some deed which hoe had prepared. On hearing hor cries, the police agents entered the house, and arrested the two men. The one whe en- ticed her to the place was subsequently set at liber- ty, but the young man is to be brought to trial for attempting to swindle with menaces. The Dearth inGermany. The German journals contain accounts from noar- ¥ every part of Germany, exhibiting the general istress arising from the dearness of provisions. In Lithuania, bands of from 30 to 40 individuals over- ran the country, and carry off by force whatever cereals they cen find on the farms. At the barrier post of Merol, the Custom House was attacked, but unsuccessfully. A detachment of dragoons had boen sont from Tilsit. Thirty persons have been arrested, and conducted to Konigsberg. In Upper Silesia, and more particularly in the circle of Rybniker, the famine is producing the worst consequences. Sick- noss and death have s0 increased that the cle aro unequal to the duties of visitation and burial imposed upon them. It is feared that the hunger fever of 1#47 and 1848 will be renewed. The popu- latian of the Thuringian Forest are emigrating in despair; and in the Oberland of Weimar a whole parish, with priest and schoolmaster, has left the country. Tho same thing has been repeated in the duchy of Gotha. The government has bought the village and is taking down the houses. In the Odenwal, in Hesse, the pressure is so great that the government bas sent troops thither fearing an insur- rection. On Saturday, three large Prussian vessels, towed by a steamer of the same flag, arrived at Antwerp to losd with corn. Not. long ogo Prussia was the granary from which the low countries, France, and England, drew supplies ; and to-da: France is exporting corn to Prussia by sea and « The Emperor of Russia has ordered the froe admis- sion into bis dominions of low priced flour and weal. Turkey. THE HOLY PLACES AT JERUSALEM We find the following in the Debsts :—Aveord- ing to the arrangements lately made on the subject of the holy places at Jerusalem, the Ottoman Porte has decided on restoring to the French :— 1, The key of the outer door of the great church of Bethlehem and those of the side doors, so that the Christians will no longer be the prisoners of the Greek monks; they will be henceforth able to enter and go out freely,’ 2. ‘Two gardens belonging and adjoining to the church, and which the Greeks hal taken poseession of. 3. Inthe Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem, the French will receive a portion of the lower part of the sevenorches of the Holy Virgin. For more than a cen- tury the French have not had the use of the gallery built overthem. 4. The Franke and Latins will be admitted to sbare in the tomb of the Holy Virgin, placed under the brook of Cedron, inthe valley of Jehoshaphat. 5, In- stead of exacting the restitution of the silver star, @olen the Greeks, on the Ist of November, 1547. the French li content themselves by replacing it by another, after the departure of the numerous pilgrims who will this year flock to the place atthe rolemnities of Koster, By acoineidence which only happens every four years, there féfes will be celebrated simultancously by all reli- gious sects in tho east and the wost. The French may, besides. builda church in the mixed and neighboring village to Bethlehem, called Belu-Jells. ‘They may also repair and enlarge the small convent in which they are kept imprisoned for the three months, which they pass at the Holy Sepulchre. The same fathers may also re- pair their principal chureb of the convent, im which they reside at Jerusalem. Foreign Miscellany. A circular has been distributed in Hungary, which remover all doubt as to the intentions of govorn- ment with respect to the law of aviticitat. It has beon decided to abolish it altogether. This will be a heavy blow to the anciont nobility, for under tho avitioitat @ landed estate could slways be reclaimed by the descendants, however remoie, of the first owner. A correspondent writes:—A few days ago T men tioned ® report current hore that Louis Napoleon was about to push his *dées Napoléoniennes so far as to create a batch of new nobility, and that a worthy gentloman, who has all his life passed as a rospect- able commoner, had, on becoming senator, issued new cards with the im title of “Le Baron T. de la Crosse.” The ity of the oreation of ahiaty wader a (9-galled) republic was a9 ep: Phil » % credit. afraid of ridiou! new nobles till ve him a jukedom of Lsly ; but now itis before the meeting of the Chambers, the Monitewr will publish a long list of new dukes, counts, barons, among whom will figure some generals and other personages whose services morit the distine- tion. Another correspondont writes:—The President of the Bevech spe io visited the Tuileries on tho 7th inst., in a light carriage, which he drovo himsolf. It appears » after all, itiadoubtful whether that ancient royal palace will tho nt presidential residence. Louis Ni n, it is stated, refers the more retired one of the Elysée, whore VA is more at liberty, and where he can, besidos, on- joy the pleasure of syria in his garden unobserved ‘by any one. His life in the Tuileries would be moro before the public, and exercise in its gardens would be pretty much the same as if he took a turn on the Boulevards. He will. perhaps, pass a few weoks, or it may be days, thore before the fine weather sets in, but it is more than probable that the whole of the summer and autumn will be spent at St. Sloud, with occasional visits to Paris. He willreviewa brigado of the aera of Paris on Sunday noxt in the Place du Carrousel, but it appears that the whole of the arrangement for tho grand review in the Champ de Mars are not yot comploted. It has beon stated for several days past, that the Prosident was suffering severely from various diseasos—acute rboumatism, fever, &o. It iscortain that on sevoral occasions for the last three or four days ho has been seon in public, driving his own carriage, and pre- senting pretty much the same aspect a8 before. On the 3d instant, at ten o’clock in the forenoon, a gentleman was robbod of 1,500 soudi on the stairs ot & house in the most central part of Rome. Tho thieves had, it seems, received notice that he was to carry that sum to a banker, who lived there, and Jay in wait for him, and relieved him of tho bank notes, dagger in hand. As there wore six stationod ulong the stairs, resistance was impossible. Great poverty and want of work prevailed at the Eternal City, and the general aspect of things is decidedly deplorable, as there seems at present no prospect of amelioration. Many families, who were afow years since in the enjoyment of moderate resources, are now in actual want. This is easily accounted for, as persons having taken evor so slight a part in the republic have been dismissed from all government situations, and Rome being les gay, the bulk of the population, who live by the prodigality of tho great, mow not how to earn a penny. Tho oman capital is, however, vory tranquil, and a stranger would, to judge from the outward appearance of things, not suspect the gencral disaffection. There has not been an instance for the last ton years of so clear a harbor as that of Liverpool now presents for outward bound ships. Often during tho present year as many as one hundred, and on two or threo occasions, one hundred and fifty ships havo been waiting to proceed to sea. On the 16th inst., however, seven ships were all that remained in the port, the ontries of which had been made at the Custom House to the previous evening. Somo English aro at this momont- ongaged in studying plans at Nieuwdiep, as it would appoar, relative to a eas for the establishment.of a sub- marine electrical communication betweon Holland and England. If we may give credit to the reports in circulation, this plan would only bo carried into execution, in the case of France ceasing to be on friendly torms with England, which circumstance would, eonscquently, render it necessary, in order to ho never ; ensure theelectric communications between England and the continont, to choose other points, situated 80 as to be protected from tho effects of hostilities. The Comercio of Cadi states that, according to the last accounts from tho Havana, the authorities there were in expectation of another attempt at invasion. It was said thero that a force of 6,000 adventurers was being organized in the United States, and was only waiting for the means of trans- port. The Madrid journals do not appear to attach much importance to this statoment. The repairs and embellishments in the Tuilerios are going on rapidly. All the apartments on tho round-floor loo! Tae the garden are finished. he other rooms looking on the court, which wero formerly occupied by the Queen, tho Princess Marie, and the Duchess of Saxe Cobourg, will be shortly ready. These last-named apartments, it is thought, will be appropriated for the private offices of the President of the republic. It is said to be in con- templation to ornament with pictures the walls of the staircase leading to the first floor. It is reported that a friend, meoting Lord Derby the other day, made the usual inquiry after his health and his ministry. ‘Iam quite well, and happy to say that the babics also are aa well as can be expected,” was the reply. A young female, who has the monomania of homi- cide, has just been arrested and sont to the Prefec- ture in Paris Sho had attempted, but fortunatoly without offect, to murder her father, her mothor, her sister, and several females of her acquaintance, ‘Ueclaring that she wished to drink their blood. The French Minister has issued a circular to the prefects, giving them instructions for carrying into effect tho recent decree of the President of the re- publio, re-establishing work in prison, and enacting that tho work to be done shall the subject of a contract by public competition. The minister takes occasion to remark that, from the precautions adopted by the. a, the resumption of la- bor in prison will not have the effect of causing a diminution of the workmen’s wages, as the taniff for work in the prisons will be nearly the same as |, that the government has just im) eut of doors; and as, besides, no more work will be Soak than may actually bo required for consump- ion. Madame Sontag is still “starring,” with uncloud- ed success, at every different town and city in Ger- many, with the exception of Berlin, where her re- appearanco on the stago would be found distasteful te the court, of which she was for so many years the delight and ornamont. The railway directors, however, reap a harvest from this circumstance; they provide the music-loving population of Berlin with a return ticket, to pee Dresden, or Des- sau, as may bo, bey pan with admission to the box- 8 or pit, at a fixed and moderate price. An aie tradesman went to Paris to pur- chase goods; he called on one of the first’ Mulhou- een firms to select his stock. Whilst thero, a sol- dicr of tho line entered, to seo a party whom he knew, as both coming from.the same country town. ‘They reciprocally had a goutte of oau de vie; and one of the party jokingly remarked—‘‘How was it that tho army so soon forgot Oavaignac and the other officers?” The soldier repeat departed, but uickly returned, with six other soldiers, and the three young men were seized, and despatched the same evening to the galleys, for an attempt to in- timidate the military. 4 ae fe momory is fea fe be unhonored in Ireland. is proposed to is remains, says the Dublin Nation, mn Irish eovth..

We must make large allowances for the dead bard.

We find the following in the Impartialdu Nord ** Tho Princess Naraki, groat-niece of the Hmporor of Russia, arrived at Valoncionnes threo days ago, with the Lady Superior of tho Ordor of Saint Vin- cent de Paul. Their object was to oxamino tho buildings of the Hospico Générale, and to make proper arrangements for the installation of the sis- tors of the order. The pious princess desires to oc- cupy a cell in their humble asylum. Itis said that, descended voluntarily from the highest steps of the imperial throne, to which her rank aud birth called her, she has abjured tho Greek religion to onoge that of tho Roman Catholic Church, and to take tho veil amongst the humblest Sisters of Charity. She resolved on this vocation in a journey sho somo time ago made to Paris, aftor the death ofhorfathor, on seeing the oy life of the sisters of tho con- gregstion of Saint Vincent de Paul. Tnorder to énd erlifo amongst them, fur from worldly greatness, she hesitated at no aacrifice---neither the loss of hor property---which was confiseated---nor exile, nor the most complete abnegation of hor existence.

The Nacion and Clamor Publicoof Madrid, state that two pricsts quarrelled rocently as to who should perform mass first in a church at Brioles, in the Ri- ‘oja, the samo district which gave birth to Martin erino. They assaulted each other with the books, calixes, and everything olso they could lay thoir hands on, till at length one of them actually beat out the other's brains with a crucifix. ea to a report of the Submarine Tolograph (between France and England) Company, submit- ted at. a meeting hold last week in Paris, it appears that the receips wore 3987. in the first month from the commencement of operations, 517/. in the: se- cond, and 619/. in the third.

The excavations are still going on. Tho Piedmontese Gazette publiahoa a atatoment, from which it appears that, from 1847 to 1861, 573 vessels, forming an aggregate of 41,650 tons, or an avorage of 73 tons per vossol, have bevn built in the dock yards of Piodmont.

A leading articlo in the Fdrelandet, after point- ing out that England is a northern land, and that tho interests of Denmark and England would bo for- tored and increased by such a union, suggesta that the younger son of Quoon Victoria should bo- come King of Denmark, and that Danish communi- cation with England should bo rapidly oxtonded. It is said that Louis Napoleon has determined to ask eight millions of francs aa his civil list. Tho amount is to be fixed by tho Senate; and the Sona- tors, who have boen already sounded on the aub- ject, vie with each other in liberality. Tho loast liberal say that Louis Napoleon ought to havo at Joast aa much as Louis Philippo; but tho greater number think he ought to be placed on tho same ooting with the sovereigns of the elder branoh of the Bourbons. A now northorn drama has just. left the pross hore, **Gunlég Ormetunge,” by Kristian Arentsen ; it ia founded on tho magnificent old eager of Gunlog, the worm-tongued, and is a production of considorable poetical merit.

Every mail from Naples brings accounts of eartd- quakes. That kingdom has boon suffering for tho last six mouths trom continued shooks. Last year several ocourred in Piedment, and wore immediately put down by the ultra-reactioniats as a divino chas- tisement, in consequence of the promulgation of the Sicoardi laws. How are the shocks in the dominions of his Majesty of Naples to be accounted for by that party? The rumors ofa goneral amnosty aro not confirmed. The ohief Stato prisonors still fill the Neapolitan dungeons. Woe hear from Bromborg, in Prussia, that the new statute of Copernicus, ono of the last works of Ticck, has arrived in that city, and been there re- ceived by a doputation from the nie ey of Thorn, in which town—tho birthplace of the great astronomer—it is to be erected. Tho carriage of tho statue from Bromberg to Thorn became a procession. It was stopped in many of the villages and ornamon- ted with votive crowns. The statue ia the roguit of a public subscription, in tho lists of which many oats and French names appear. Some of our readers will remember tho great statuo of Copernicus by Thorwaldsen, erected by a national Polish sub- scription in 1829 at Warsaw. That capital being « t of the Russian empire, while the astronomer's irthplace lies within the boundaries of Prussia, the Court of Berlin has sought to gain an illustration The Belgian government has authorised an Eng- lish company to lay down an elootrie telegraph be- tween Ostend and London. The Belgian govornment has appointed a Consul- General at St. Petersburg. Viscount de Jonghe, a young diplomatist, of an ancient and woalthy ‘lemish family, has been selected for these functions. It appears, from a statistical roturn to tho Aus- trian government, that at the end of 1851, the num- bor of sheep in the Austrian dominions amounted to twenty-seven millions. In the same year these ani- mals furnished 610,000 quintals of wool, of which 160,000 were exported, and the rest used by tho ative manufacturers. A letter from Coponhagon says—*‘ Tho police of this city publishes every year an account of the number CBee found drunk in the streots. In the year 1861, the number of mon taken up drunk was 591, and of women 150—a total which gives an increase of 73 over 1850, and of 92 over 1849.” Tho Minister of the Interior at Modena has issued a notice, en that the telegraphic lino which connects Modena, Gustalla, and Reggio with the Austrian states, will be henceforward open to the use of the public. The tariff is regulated according to the distanco in German miles, of fifteen to a de- free, and no despatch is to contain more than one undred words. Tho official journal of the duchy of Oldenburg contains a proclamation of the Gand Duke, an- nouncing the marriage of the hereditary Grand eee with the Princess Elizabeth of Saxe-Alten- urg. A letter fronr Caasol, of tho 16th ult., statos that all the attempts to recapture the fugitives Kellner and Zinn failed. Thoir friends, in order to give them time to leave the territory, had cut the wires of the electric telegraph, and thus prevented the transmission of the government despatches announe- ing tho flight. Tho Vienna Gazette, of the 17th ult., publishes the note addressed by its ambassador at London to the English government, respecting the refugees, andthe reply of Lord Granville. The Gazettte at the samo tie announces that in conformity with the notifiation already published, more severe measures against Englishmen travelling in Austria are in course of execution ; and that the government re- serves to itself to adopt others if necessary. Tho state of distress in the provinces of Prussia were increasing in a most terrifying manner; even in Berlin itself the scarcity of victuals was folt ; po- tatocs wero rising in price about 100 per cent., and bread was diminishing in quality and quantity. The prospect for the next season is very far from being Satisfactory. Mr. Thompson, surgeon in the British navy, has submitted a plan to the commissioners of the ad- miralty by which candles and oil may for ever be dispensed with, many thousand pounds annually be- ing saved, and yet ten times more light secured to every ship afloat. This is accomplished by a simple anda very ingenious method of using the slush from ealt meats, now of no use. The Commons have approved of the invention; and since the order was given by the admiralty, the Impregnable, flag-ship, has been lighted from stem to stern on this new plan. The men in each ship, in place of having one dip of 34 to the pound, have now a light for six hours equal to 16 dips, and from which, by the aid of a parabolic reflector, they aro enabled to read 30 feet off. This candle-tube may be filled with water, yet it can be instantly ox- led, and the light fully maintained. The grease is 80 locked up that it cannot well escape, so that the lamp may be rolled about the deck. The Bengal Hurkarw states that Tion Tob, the new Emperor of China, is a Christian, having been baptized by tho late Dr. Gutzlaff. Letters from Bremen state that emigration from that port is now taking placo to an extent unknown in any previous season. Emigrants average 600 per day.

It isknown to the professors of natural philosophy that a platina wire can be heatedinstantaneously toa red heut, by means of a poworful clectric battery— and that in that state it will out through the skin and flesh of the human body with more ease than tho sbarpest instrumont. The surgeons of the Santa Theresa Hospital in Vienna have mado the oxperi- ment of substituting such # wire for the usual surgical instruments in come of their operations, and it is said with perfect success. They have laid a memoir on the eubject before the Imperial Academy of Science in that capital.
