as follows : —Beg istered electors , 38 , 3 « 7 ; voted , 12 , 280 ; for M . P « rouse , Government candidate , 11 , 200 ; for M . Douzel , 1047 ; votes lost , 11 ; bulletins cancelled , 22 . It thus appears that considerably less than one-third of the electors went to the poll . I rather think , however , that in the Nismea district there are more legitimists than republicans , And the Count de Chambord has not only advised , but ordered , his friends to abstain from voting . At all events , the republicans -will not throw away their strength at a single election . " The Persian Ambassador -was received last Saturday by the Emperor at a public audience , when he presented hia credentials- To the speech of the Ambassador , the Emperor made the following reply : —" Monsieur J'Ambasaadeui , —I am . happy that your sovereign has charged you to bring me his congratulations . When the war

The department of the Seine , however , in the last five years , has gained 300 , 000 . A French advocate has written to the London Morning / Star , to complain of the unfairness of Verger ' s trial . While expressing great abhorrence of "Verger ' s crime , he contends that bis treatment has been illegal and despotic . Verger , he remarks , was refused a week's delay in his trial , and is not allowed possession of various papers .
" His brother , a looking-glass manufacturer in the Rue de Seine , writes to the journal La JPatrie , which had affirmed that " Verger , two days before committing his crime , had received assistance from the Archbishop of Paris . He writes to say that the fact is absolutely false , and he supports his denial by material proofs . The editors of La Patrk apply to the examining judge for tie authorization to publish tins . The reply is a menace to suppress the paper . Verger demands the production of sixty witnesses , all of whom have impor-; ant declarations to make . These witnesses are called
The deficit in the receipts as compared with the expenses is trifling . The receipts present an increase of 8 , 145 75 9 f over the estimate for 1 S 57 . The Swabian Mercury quotes a letter from Naples asserting that , shortly after the execution of Milano a party of armed men proceeded to the cemetery duriijj the night , overpowered the guards , exhumed the body of the criminal , placed it in a , coffin , and carried it on board a vessel , keeping a strict watch over the guards until their purpose was accomplished . The King of Sardinia arrived at Villefraiiehe at nine
o clock in tlie morning of Thursday -week , by the s teanifrigate Governolo . On landing , he was received by Count Cavour and the local authorities . The people , in spite of the bad weather , assembled in crowds to welcome him . The King liaving reviewed the 9 th Regiment of the line at Viilefranche . rode on to Nice , where he was received by the municipality in a fine amphitheatre erected for the occasion , and gaily decorated . An address having been presented and acknowledged l > y him , Victor Emmanuel next proceeded to visit the Empress Dowager of Russia at the Villa Avigdor .
PRUSSIA . The Prussian Ministry , menaced with an interpellation on the part of the Opposition , concerning the application of the extraordinary credit of 4 , 500 , 000 £ voted during the Oriental war for military purposes , have preferred to meet any accusation in advance , and the Minister of Finance has submitted to the Landtag a project of law , concerning the extraordinary military expenses entered into , and the application of the credit for this purpose . The interpellation of Herr von Patow has , in consequence , been withdrawn . —Momma Star .
TURKEY . The Austrians have already begun ' to evacuate "the Danubian Principalities , and have stopped all their contracts , in several cases paying a forfeit for doing so . The commission for tracing the new boundaries of Moldavia and Wallachia will probably be able to commence operations by the end of April . A Turkish corps d ' armee will take the place of the Austrians , and occupy the Principalities up to the time of their final organmtion . Seven battalions will be stationed at Jassy , and eight at Bucharest : these will be drawn from , the corps d ' armee of Roumelia . The troops have been recently employed with success in putting down the disturbances in Albania and the brigandage on the frontiers of Greece . Another corps d ' armee is to be concentrated at Erzeroum and on the Persian frontier . This is owing to the hostilities between Persia and England . Ismail Pacha is to command this body .
The English submarine telegraph line from Constantinople to Varna will he taken by the Turkish Government . Negotiations have been opened to settle the amount to be paid and the manner of working it . Colonel Biddulph , R . A ., and Lieutenant Holdsworth , R . A . who are at present in charge of the line , will superintend it , at least in the beginning . It is apprehended that the representative of Turkey in the Danubian Principalities will find some resistance to the convocation of the Divans . The Ministerial crisis in Moldavia is not yet terminated . The draught of the firman for the convocation of the Moldavian and Wallachian divans ad hoc was completed on Tuesday , the 13 th inst . The internal independence of the two principalities is guaranteed .
Brigandage continues in Thessaly to an alarming extent , especially among the rural population , wliose flocks suffer considerably . The shepherds are obliged to take the law into their own hands , and to knock the banditti oa the head when they can get a favourable opportunity . This lawless state of things is said to be owing to the indolence aud rapacity of the Turkish officials . According to the Constantinople correspondents of the ludependance Belga and La Presse , Sir Henry lJulwer , the English delegate to the commission for settling the
constitution of tho Divans , had a very hot altercation with Lord Stratford do RedclifFo at tho last mixed conference . Ho asserted that the Ambassador had kept him in entire ignorance of the progress of tho discussion , while tho other members had been duly informed . Ho added that ho saw lainontablo omissions in the firman . Lord Stratford retorted very bitterly , admitting , however , that he had acted contrary to his instructions , but adding that ho would explain himself to his Government , and not to Sir Ilonry . It is said that Redschid Pachu interposed to stop the dispute .
The firmans for the convocation of tho Divans ad hoc in Wallachia and Moldavia have been published . As wo have from time to time informed our readers of tho nuturo of thia temporary constitution , during the discussion of the details by tho commisuionora , &c , wo nood not now rotraco tho oanio ground , further than to say that tho Divans aro to bo elected by tho various clasaoa composing the populace , tho electors to possess curtain property qualifications or social distinctions ; that tho clectod of the various classes aro to form separate committees of the Divans , each to study the interests and wants of its own elaflH ; aud that , " the Divans , having only tho mission to express wishes ) , which will bo first examinod by the Commission , compoaod of the delegates of tho Porto and those of tho
by the examining judge , who in private takes their depositions , and refuses to communicate these depositions , or allow the witnesses to make them publicly . Verger writes to the Minister of Justice and to the Emperor . The Minister grants the delay which the accused has demanded , and , notwithstanding the authorization of the public-prosecutor , commands that the witnesses shall not be introduced . " The reason for these suppressions of evidence , says the writer , is that the witnesses were prepared to make the most startling revelations of the horrible profligacy committed by various dignitaries of the French Church . " Verger , " adds the letter , " intended to establish before the court the basis of a new
religious sect . His coadjutors "intended to disperse themselves all over the earth , to inform the nations of that which they considered to be a GospeL But it was required that their debut should be accompanied by a cvwp d ' etat , to make a great noise and create the opportunity . " The rallying watchword of the neophytes was to le the cry of " Down -with the Goddess ! " -
AUSTRIA . The Imperial Cabinet ( says a letter from Vienna ) has made serious representations to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sardinia , with respect to the demonstrations made by the democracy of Lonibardy and Turin against the presence of the Emperor in Milan . The first reception of the Emperor at Milan was very cold . The populace abstained from any enthusiastic demonstrations ; but of course the official joy was rampant . To the address of the Podesta of Milan , the Emperor replied , " The past is forgotten . " The fortifications ofVicenzaare to be dismantled . Tho Credit Bank is about to establish branch banks in the different provincial capitals .
The Emperor has signed a decree granting a full pardon to all persons in the Lombardo-Venetian , territory condemned for high-treason , revolt , or insurrection . Prosecution for such crimes is suspended . The special Court at Mantua is dissolved . This is stated to have produced a manifest increase of popularity .
ITALY . A funeral service in honour of the late Archbishop of Paris , by order of the Pope , and at his expense , was performed on the morning of the 14 th inst . in the church of the Santi Apostoli at Rome . The Pope himself was not present ; but the prelates of hi 3 court , and the Papal choir took part in the ceremony . The excavations at Ostia in the Papal States , conducted under the superintendence of the Commendatoro VIsconti , havo recently brought to light a very fine remnant of the ancient road loading to that city . It is flanked by numerous tombs and other edifices , the most conspicuous among the former being that of Sixtus Caruciniua Parthenopeus , a Roman knight and decurion of the Ostian colony . This splendid erection is made of Greek marble , and is of very large dimensions .
Tho brigands continue to give great trouble in tho Papal States . Two of these depredators were attacked by the troops on tho Oth inst . noar the Tuscan frontier . Tlie banditti shut thotnsolves up in a house , and made a desperate resistance ; but tho house was stormed by the soldiers , who , notwithstanding the loss of their brigadier , ontered , and succeeded in capturing one of the brigands , tho other escaping . It is said , however , that he has been taken since ; but this is doubtful . Tho man killed was tho notorious Passatore , called tho Pasotino ; the other was the not less celebrated Lazzarini . The assassin of Count Lovatelli , with eight , or , according to aome accounts , twelve others suspected of being his accomplices , haa been captured . Tho assassin himself ia stated to be a young man , the eon of a farmer turned away by tho count owing to suspicions respecting hia honesty .
Tho King of Naples , it is assorted , will grant an amnesty on tho occasion of tho approaching accouchement of tho Queen . Tho Pope haa given 65 , 000 francs from hia privy purae to tho indigent , for employing thorn on the high rt . J p | Pj 0 lO 1 <> n ^ M « budgeft f ° r 1868 « J P «> 8 ° nted to IU Ha 7 « iT ° .

broke out in the East , I sought with pleasure to renew our form-er relations with Persia , and her neutrality was not useless to us . I now congratulate myself upon the treaty of commerce concluded between our two countries , as commercial relations firmly established always cement the friendship of nations . It is with regret that I hear of the war which lias broken out between you and one of my most intimate allies ; but I entertain most ardent wishes that your mission to- this portion of the globe may hasten the return of a lasting peace . I thank you for the flattering things you . have said to me for France and for the Prince Imperial , and I beg of you to believe in my full sentiments of benevolence towards you . " The Ambassador handed to the Emperor the royal order of Persia * and presents for the Empress and Prince Imperial .
The ceiemony of the investiture -with the insignia of the Order of the Bath of those French officers who have been admitted to the honour , took place on the 17 th inst . ; but the official account only appeared in the Moniteur of last Saturday . Among the chief persons present -were Prince Napoleon , Lord Cowley , Marshals Pelissier , Canrobert , and Bosquet , General Sir Alexander "Woodford , General Gomm , and Lord Lucan . At the banquet afterwards given , the speeches were of the usual complimentary character . The Hfoniteur announces that Monseigneur Morlot , Cardinal Archbishop of Tours , has been appointed Archbishop of Paris by an Imperial decree , dated 24 th January .
Kern , -who is charged by the Federal Council of Switzerland with a special mission to the Emperor , was received on Sunday in the . character of an Envoy Extraordinary , and presented his letters of credence . The ISevue de Paris has been suspended for one month , on account of an article which appeared in it against the King of Prussia . The Pays states that the Russian authorities in Bessarabia have been ordered to quit Bohjrad on the 1 st of February . The Imperialist and Fusionist circles of Paris are occupied just now with very different , but to each of
them very interesting , statements . In the former , it is confidently asserted that the Pope has at last consented to crown the Emperor at Rheims in the month of May , and has given the sanction of the Church to the new order of things in Franco . In tho latter , a contract of marriage ia announced between the Comte de Paris and the daughter of the Duchess Regent of Parma , who is the only sister of the Due de Bordeaux . By this alliance the fusion will , it is hoped , be complete , and the conflicting pretensions of the Mouses of Bourbon and Orleans be reconciled . At present , however , the youthful Priucess and futuro bride is only in her eighth year . — Daily News .
" The proposition presented to the Council of State for the grant of a pension of 100 , 000 francs to Marshal Pelissier , " says the Times Paris correspondent , "has been negatived by the particular section to which it was referred . The casting vote was that of the President . The objection , however , is not to the grant itself , but to tha form in which it was made . The provision was that it should revert to tho Marshal ' s descendants in the male line . The section of the Council of State considered that thia was an indirect means of establishing a majorat , and they therefore rejectod it by , as I have said , a majority of one . Marshal Polisaier ia , I believe , a bachelor , but he is not too old to marry . "
Tho Presae announces tbat tho Tribunal of Commerce of Paris has given judgment in the case of tho Directors of the Company of the Docks Napoleon against Fox , HondeTson , and Co ., declaring the coavention made between the parties on tho 14 th of February and 24 th of July , 1854 , void , and condemning Fox and Henderson to pay all tho ^ oxpensea . The Princess do Lievon died on Monday night at Paris . " Two extremely oorioug facts , " says tho Assembly JNattonale
, " havo been brought to light by tho Trench official census of 185 G , and which have not only excited tho attention of tho public , but formed the subject of consideration in tho Academy of Moral and Political Sciences at ono of its recont sittings . Tho first fact is an almoat complete interruption in the progress of tho national population since tho consua of 1851 , and tho second ia tho extraordinary tendency evinced during tho saino period by tho people of tho country districts to removo to largo towns , anU particularly to tho capital 1 ' rom 1861 to 1866 , France , according to tho last con-
