Luttkks From Paris. [ Kko.M Ouit Own (Jo...
and the effect in the country is not less formidable than it is in Paris . An election of deputies is about to take place at Paris , to replace MM . Cavaignac and Carnot , who refused to take the oaths . An idea is very seriously entertained of re-electing them both , as a warning to the powers that be . . M . Henon , too , has to be replaced at Lyons ; hut the Moniteur , which convokes the electoral colleges at Paris , maintains a strict silence about Lyons . ; Nb doubt the Elysee is anxious to know the result of the Paris elections before venturing to confront that of Lyons . For it is Lyons , in truth , that has just named as councillors-general MM . Jules Fayre
and Sain , both of whom have addressed to Bonaparte a very strong letter , refusing to take the oaths . Bonaparte has just received another affront . Several representatives have declined to return to France ; among others , M . Renaud is spoken of as having written a very sharp letter to the Elysee , explaining his refusal . The Moniteur registers daily a host of nominations in the Legion of Honour . It has been remarked as significant , that not a single member of the magistracy of Paris , nor of the National Guard , has received the cross in the midst of an avalanche of decorations . This does not go far towards proving that the Magistracy and the National Guard of Paris are much disposed in favour of Bonaparte .
The official journals would have us believe the contrary . Since the 15 th , there has been an increase of arrests in Paris . Everybody seems to be arrested about everything . Two persons stand still on the Boulevards to talk politics ; the sergens de ville arrest them . In the course of conversation you happen to bestow some rather lively epithet on Bonaparte—you are instantly arrested . If you look askance at a sergent de ville , you are done for . Perhaps when everybody has been arrested , Bonaparte will arrest himself .
The prisons are full . It is said that tiie Prefecture de Police is full of mere lads , confined since the 15 th for having cried Vive la Pepublique—a crime for which they are suffering in miserable cells . Domiciliary visits are recommencing in Paris and in the provinces . The Journal de Castre states that a visit was paid on Friday last by the gendarmerie and the police , to the houses of MM . Frederic Thomas , Nanzieres , Pieglowski , and Negrel , at Costres . Many municipal councils are dissolved , for having dared to re-elect the members who had refused to take the oatlis . The
council of St . Flour is in that predicament . The press is deluged with " warnings ; " but these warnings proceed exclusively from the Prefects , who cannot act without having previously consulted the Ministry of Police . A journal of Toulouse , the Gazette de Languedoe , has just been suspended for two months . Two heads , of men condemned for political offences , have fallen on the scaffold . These wretched victims of the more successful rebel ' s justice were two operatives
of Beziers , Abel Cadelard and Joseph Laurent ; one an old man of sixty , the other a young man of 23 . They passed through the town on the fatal cart in the midst of n weeping and sobbing population . No one looked upon the instrument of vengeance , or sanctioned by presence the judicial assassination . Tho market of Beziers was opened after the execution on the very ground where the scaffold Lad stood , but on that day none came to buy or to sell . S .

CONTINENTAL NOTES . M . do _Prbstgny arrived in London on Thursday : whether in an ollicial or semi-oflicial capacity , or on a private visit , does not yet appear . Lord Cowley , our ambassador to Franco , is now absent from his post , en conge " . General Magnan , in his capacity of President of tho Cenoral Council of the Lower Rhino , made a declaration which is generally considered of great importance . lie announced a reduction of the army in the following terms : — " Yesterday , at the moment when I was taking iny leave , tho Princo President , told mo that he was engaged in eonaidoring the formation of a strong and solid military _rcserye , which , without compromising tho respect and dignity of France , would enablo him to effect tho economies which he desires to introduce in tho public taxation . "
The fuel is that tho French Government is placed in a dilemma betwoon reduction of tho army or increased taxation . Tho latter is impossible , and retrenchment is i ndispensable . fhe architect of the _Elyueo bos drawn up a report , a tor < lue investigation , on the firo which latel y broke out at the . EIynoo , and has read his work to tho President . The report concludes that tbe firo was not accidentally occasioned , oa had been supposed , by the overheating of a stove , but , was the result of malico preptmsa on tho part of _pei-Hons who gained access , to tho promises , certain artificial coiub uNtihloH having been discovered in tho bureau of tho I residen t ' ., cabinet . The President , having listened calmly to the report , Baid at the close " No , it was the stove /' ho conclusion _., of tho report will not , thorefore , be inado _oiliciu lly public .
J ho Put le tin des Lois contains a decreo from _thoTPro-»» l « nt of the Republic , by whioh several retiring pensions are _aceordod to 75 persons belonging to tho army . At tho noau ot the tablo which accompanies this docroo aro the

names of Generals Bedeau and Changarnier , but not those of Generals de Lamoriciere and Leflo . The pension assigned to the two former is 6000 f . each . The Moniteur announces that the Minister for Foreign Affairs signed two treaties , on Sunday last , with the Plenipotentiaries of the Belgian Government , tho first reciprocally guaranteeing all property in literary works and works of art ; the second making certain modifications in the Customs tariff . A pamphlet , called Les Nuits de St . Cloud ; ou , les Deux _Cdurs , has been seized by the police at Brussels , on the complaint of the French Minister ; and a judicial prosecution has been commenced against the publishers . The French Mediterranean squadron has been at Cagliari ( Sardinia ) , and was at Naples on the 15 th instant , assisting at religious fetes , and exchanging compliments and hospitalities with the Court .
The British squadron sailed from Gibraltar for the coast of Syria on the 16 th , after having exercised the seamen and marines in gunnery practice , & e , on the neutral ground of the Rock . Mischief seems to be brewing in the Levant . The recent change of Ministry at Constantinople , b y which Reschid Pasha , the Grand Vizier , has been dismissed , and Aii Pasha , a friend to Russia , appointed in his stead , with Fuad Effendi ( a friend of France ) in the Foreign department , render the presence of the English fleet in these waters of consequence . The recent demands of the French Government in the Tripoli affair ( for the surrender of two French deserters ) , the presence of the Charlemagne , the screw line-of-battle ship , in the Golden Horn , and the fresh exigencies of the French ambassador in the question of the Hol y Sepulchre—a question always conveniently revived for diplomatic purposes—seem to indicate that the absence of Lord Stratford is already felt at Constantinople .
A correspondent of the Daily News , dating Constantinople , Aug . 6 , says , " Destructive fires occur now daily in Constantinople . From the 1 st to the 6 th of August , eleven great fires raged , the city being on the first day on fire at five different places . The Turks believe that incendiarism is instigated by the Russians , ia order to excite an insurrection , and so much the more that several noted Greek desperados from the Peninsula have been seen in Constantinople . There are now three different parties in Turkey—the Sultan , the army , and the reformers , led by Reshid Pacha , are the first : the second is the conservative party of old Turkey ,
with the Muftis and Ulemas , priests and lawyers , under the guidance of the Sultan's brother ; they enjoy now the patronage of Russia , and denounce the Sultan so openly for his reforms , that it became necessary to arrest on the 4 th three Turkish priests , who incited the people to insurrection . The third party are the Greeks and Armenians , all of them tools of Russia . The wealthy Turks are frightened out of their wits ; they firmly believe in an outbreak towards the end of the month , which would give a pretext to the Russians for an armed interference , and many families leave town on account of the approaching
. " At the same time tidings have arrived from Odessa that a great camp is to be formed and a review held by the Czar in the plain of Akerman , the number of troops concentrated amounting to about 2 QQ , 00 Q . The Emperor of Austria is invited to this review ( so they say here in Constantinople ) : and in Moldavia and Wallachia the arrival of Russian troops is 6 poken of as to take place in a short time , as a corps either of observation or of occupation ; and strong Russian detachments are moving along the Gallician frontier towards the south . " The Augsburgh Gazette contains a letter dated the 8 th inst . from the banks of the Fo , from which it appears that tho Austrian authorities havo been giving a fresh instance
of their brutality . An English tourist was quietly sketching the picturesque amphitheatre of the old cit y of tho Montagues and Capulets , when ho was accosted by an Austrian sentry , who commanded him to desist . Upon declining to comply with this military prohibition he was arrested and flu-own into _firison , w here ho was dotained for several days . After Ids iberation , this martyr of tho pencil wos thrust unceremoniously put of tho city , and conducted by Austrian gendarmes out of tho territory , subjected to tho mild sway of Marshal Radetzky . The Gazette says tjiat tbo Englishman called upon tho commandant of the fortress to apologise to him , but that this demand wa . s refused . _Ife then applied to the Karl of Westmoreland , at that moment at Venice , for redress .
Tho Earl of Westmoreland ' s arrival at Florence is announced , but whether to conduct an orchestra in that city , or to apologiso to the Austrian commander for tbo seeming exigencies of our Foreign-oflico in the Mather case , does not appear . Justus Liebig ceased , on tbe 20 th hist ., to bo Professor of Chemistry in tho University of Giessen , in the electorate of 1 fosse-Cassel , after having lived there in that capacity during tho long period of twenty-eight yearn . Beforo commencing his duties as professor in Munich , he intends to visit Russia . Or . Liebig was bom in Darmstadt in 1803 , and Humboldt procured for him the appointment , at _Giosseu . Liebig was long the chief ornament of the University of Giessen , and his departure is an irreparable loss to tbo Electorate .
Iho Vienna Gazette of tho 22 nd contains tho following sentences of tho court-martial sitting at _Hormansfadt : — Count Joseph Hallor , aged 30 , of Weisskirchon , in Transylvania , lam fed proprietor , and the Rev . Francis _Wagy , aged ( 53 , of _Gyiirgy , reformed pastor , to ho hung for high treason , their properly being also confiscated . The Emperor has since commuted the punishment to ton years _irnpriuoninont in tho case of the younger , and fourtoon in that of the venerable prisoner ; the confiscation being maintained . Three yeomen charged with _lmmicido during the civil war , and sentenced fo various forms of imprisonment by the court martial , now receive a remission of half tho punishment . A subsequent notification in tbo Gazette states that tho functions of tho H _iingariaii court-martials aro now suspended . The trial of Meows . G uomuzi and _Romanolli commenced

at Florence on the 16 th inst . ; but was adjourned for ten days on the 17 th , on account of the state of health of the accused . M . Guerrazzi has for some time been subject to epdeptic fits , the attacks of which have lately been very frequent . By the last accounts from Warsaw the cholera was rapidly spreading , and the disease increasing in intensity ; the police report of the 13 th inst . shows that nearly half of the cases ended fatally . The Prince Statthalter had given 800 silver rubles to the committees for the hospitals . On the above date there were 650 persons attacked , of whom 244 died , 263 recovered , and there remained under treatmen 1 , 483 . The alarm among the population of the city is excessive .
There is now no doubt that the cholera is advancing from Poland , in two directions , north and west , as it is prevailing in several districts both in Silesia , the old province of Prussia , and the Polish part of the Duchy of Posen ; and the general tenour of the last accounts from all these districts is very unsatisfactory . A private letter from Warsaw , of the 17 th instant , gives the following account of the origin of the scourge which is at present committing such ravages : — "It was thought expedient some time since to make some improvements in the small town of Lask , near Kalisch . For that purpose it was found necessary to make excavations in the cemetery where the victims of the cholera of 1832 had been interred . Almost immediately afterwards the operatives
employed in the work were attacked with cholera , and every one of them died . Since then it has spread , and is attended with more than ordinary mortality . " The Hanoverian Government has just published an order forbidding all meetings of Anabaptists , and threatening with imprisonment any foreign missionary of that sect who shall attempt to preach in the Hanoverian' territory . Haynau is not yet forgotten , nor is the reception he met with at the hands of Barclay and Perkins's draymen . The Brussels papers publish accounts of a tumultuous reception he has lately experienced in that city . ¦ -It appears that the Marshal was present at the Brussels Vauxhall on Sunday evening last , whilst a concert was taking
place . "At nine o clock ( says the Echo ) the Marshal showed himself in the garden , and was immediately surrounded by a curious crowd of about two hundred persons . His attitude , it was noticed , had something theatrical about it . It being apparent that a demonstration was about to take place , General Chazal , of the Belgian service , who was in the garden , went up to the Marshal , and entered into conversation with him , hoping by his presence to overawe the rising feeling . A few moments passed , and no manifestation took place , the crowd meanwhile increasing very rapidly . M . Singelee , the director of the garden , caused the orchestra to play two favourite pieces , in the expectation that the attention of the crowd would be withdrawn from his uneasy guest ; but in vain .
Hisses were heard ; then some very pointed observations were addressed to Haynau on his share in tho Hungarian war , while the majority of the multitude cried , ' Turn him out—turn _hiim out . ' M . Chazal essayed to address the people and assuage the storm , but was not listened to , and the tumultuous excitement rose still higher . Meanwhilo messengers had been sent to the police-station and barracks , and shortly the officers arrived , together , with a file of soldiers . A number of arrests took place , but the _fie _rsons being all of character and position , were reeased immediately . After this , Haynau remained some little timo at the concert , guarded by a knot of Belgian officers , and followed by the spectators in all his movements . As he returned from the concert to his hotel he
was ngain hissed , and a number of uncomplimentary cries were heard , but no violence was practised . " Tho Independance Pelge of Tuesday has the following on thc subjoct : —"' Wo did not hesitate to express our censuro upon tho culpable manifestation which took place on Sunday evening at tho Vauxhall against Marshal Haynau—an act unjustifiable against a stranger , protected ns well by tho laws of tho land as by tho duties of hospitality . To-day , avo regret to say , that we havo to notice an act of bravado awl provocation on tho part of Marshal Haynau , which tho duties of hospitality , not to mention many other considerations , ought to have provented him irom porpetrating . Yesterday evening , at
half-past six , —that is to say before the commencement of tho concert—Marshal Haynau entered the Vauxhall and took his place , with a certain affectation , at the very tablo nt which ho was seated on Sunday . Wo can only look upon this proceeding as nn error of tact , whilst others behold in it an act of defiance . At all events , wo are of opinion that thc fact that bis presence in tho grounds had been tho cause of , we own very culpable , disturbances , ought to have restrained him from a step which was of a nature to lend to a repetition of them , out of consideration to tbe State in which he was sojourning , as also for tbe men who came voluntarily forward to protest against the outrage
offered to him . 1 ho authorities were , however , prepared to put down any attempt at disturbance . Moreover , the Si blic common sense rendered the precautions needless _, arshal Haynau was allowed to remain undisturbed at his seat till the end of the performance A mob of hoiiio hundred prople then followed him to his hotel , somo winging patriotic airs , intermixed with groans and hisses . Somo few of tho disorderly wore arrested . This morning Marshal Haynau left Brussels for Paris . Wo regard this speedy departure as au indication tbat tho marshal has felt himself that his conduct yesterday evening was very injudicious . '" Under the present regime , Marshal Haynau will bo " quite at home" in Paris . With the hero of tho 2 nd of December such a man _whould he a i ' avourod guest .
