^ The decree ; organising the service of chaplains in the navy , " and attributing to these functionaries a certain salary , ia g-nerauy remarked " as an infraction of the constitution zai aa encroachment oa the powers of the Corps Legkklif , According to the constitution , this body is to vote all money hills . Now , here is a whole service ; of functionaries created by a decree of the executive tojbe paid ouc of the public purse , and farming no item of the bud get , without the Chamber of Deputies being in the least consulted .-- ' ' ' ' On Sunday was abjudicated the baa of 50 , 000 , 000 f contracted hy the city of Pans .

' ' . „_ - '¦ .. '¦ ' , : V //\ ' ; M . E . deGirardiq continues to support the present
goternmeht in his own peculiar- way * - Assuming , as his argument throughout assumes , tbaHhe President was sincere when he disclaimed imperial pretensions , M . _ de Girsrd n is hy far the most able advocate - of Louis Napolean ' g cause that baa yet appeared . Bat , if We almost universal opinion that the empire is at hand fee well . founded , ' ften tbe articles ia the 'Presse ' , are terrible two-edged ' | weapons , wfiich smite the imperialists with all the ( arce professedly directed against the . rovalists .. ... . <¦ ¦ ' - . - s
. It is said that . MM . Eugene Pelleteo , - Nefftzer , and Peyrat , have retired from the' Presse , ' in consequence of the declared adhesion of ' M . ; de Girardin to the present government . On Sunday evening the highest judicial authorities of the state were admitted at the Elysee' to take the oaths prescribed by the constitution , in the presence of Louis Napoleon . The Prince , surrounded by his . ministers , received the members of tbe Court , of Cassation , tbe presidents and proenrenrs-generanx of ihe Courts of A ppeal , who were presented by M . Abbatucei . This minister having made a speech , in which he stated that it was to the Prince that the magistracyWed Tne preservation of that strong
organwatwn which was . given to itby the Emperor , and pat the presence of its hi ghest representatives attested that they would themselves respect , and' cause to he respected by Others , that constitution which bad been proclaimed by the voice of the nation , Louis "Napoleon made the following reply , which has been commented upon as a fresh demonstration of bis intention to grasp the imperial crown : — 1 'Messieurs Jes Magistrals , —Although I receiveyoWoath with pleasure , the obligation imposed on all the constituted bodies to take it appears to me less necessary on the ' part of those of whom the noble mission is to make the right dominant and respected . Tbe more authority reposes oa an
incontestable base , the more it ought naturally to be defended by yon . Since the day on which the doctrine of the sovereignty of the people replaced that of divine right , it may he affirmed with truth , that no government * has been as legitimate as mice . In 1804 , four millions of votes ' , in proclaiming the power to be hereditary in my famil y , designated me as heir to the empire . In 1848 nearly six millions called me to the head of the republic . In 1851 nearly eig ht millions maintained me there . Consequentl y , in taking the oath -to me , it is not merel y to a man that you swear to he faithful , but to a principle—to a cause—to-the national will itself / ¦ •¦¦ * "
The Minister of Justice then read the form of the oath , which is as follows : — ' I swear obedience to the constitution and fidelity to the president ; -1 swear also and promise well and faithfully to fulfil my functions , to observe reli giously tbe secTfcy-of the deliberations , aad to conduct n > fself in all as a worthy and loyal magistrate . ' Each having in turn taken this oath in the usoal manner , the . Minister of Finance presented the members of the . Court of Accounts , to whom tbe Prince ' addressed the following speech : —! 'Gentlemen ' and Members of , the Court of Accounts , —I have just received tbe oaths ' of the Mag istracy ; which is the organ of justice .: I am happy to receive at the same time the oaths of the present magistracy , who bring to the examination and control of the employment of the public fortune the same independence , the same probity , tbesams sentiment of doty /
The oath having been then administered the magistratea retired . ,.... . ' . Ho body in France has hitherto shown themselves less scrupulous in taking the oaths of fidelity to all successive governments ie facto than the magistracy . Thus , M . ; de Portalis , the first president of tbe Court of Cassation , has taken the oath of allegiance successively to . the empire , to the restoration , to the monarchy of July , and to the present government , and it is not to be supposed that any of the colleagues of this venerable head of the magistracy are a jot more squeamish than himself . The fSieele' says the deficiency in the budget for 1853 cannot b > less than lOO . flOO . OOOf . A decree appears ordering all minor functionaries , down to biilifS , to take the oath of . fidelity to the Prince President .
Another decree orders the political prisoners transported to Algeria to be settled in batches of 500 men each ; the President will order dispensation of the penitentiary regime in favour of those who show good conduct . i M ; Sooesme , member of the council-general of the loiret , who was sentenced to transportation as one of the chiefs of the insurrection at Montargis , has been set at liberty . , ' - ¦" . ¦ - ¦? The Corps Legislati f met on Monday under the presidency of M . BiUault . The minutes of the last sitting having been read and approved , several members , who had not taken the oath on the 29 th ult ., were sworn in . Tbe President read a project of law , which bad been forwarded to him b y the Minister of State , to authorise the city of Bordeaux to negotiate a loan of 4 , 800 , 000 f ., reimbursable in twenty-fi * e years , for local purposes . The house next resolved itself into a secret committee to hear the minutes
of another secret committee , held on the 1 st inst ., at which it was decided that the members should not hi obliged to wear their costume during the sittings . They afterwards retired into their committee rooms , to examine ; the bill relative to the withdrawal from circulation and ! nulling down of the old copper coin , and to appoint a special committee to report upon it . P . S . —The Chamber resumed its public sitting at a little after three o ' clock . The president announced that in virtue Of tbe deliberation which took place in the secret committee mention would be made in the minutes . of the public sitting
of this day of the decision adopted in the secret committee of the 1 st of April . After the sluing the deputies again met in their committee rooms for the purpose of electing the seven members of the commission to report on the law on the new fkf . :-,, ™ beV , " * bat no opposition will be made to the bill . ^ Tfae'riamesof the" Commissioners just elected are : —1 st bureau . Viscount de Kerveguen ; 2 nd ; M . Gomn ; 3 d , M . Devinck ; 4 th , M . Raynoaard de Bussieres ; ath , the Marquis d'Andelarre ; 6 tb , M . RaDnW ; and 7 ln , the Count de Brias . &
It was rumoured in the lobbies of the Chamber that the session would not last more than a month , and that the deputies would adjourn / or want of occupation . The death of Scbwarzenberg is regarded as a heavy blow to tbe Prince-President ' s ex t ernal designs , which were all more or Je-s framed vgoa the supposition of a close alliance with Austria . The'Moutteut ' contains a decree from the President of the R-public , regulating the manner in which advocates , avows , notaries , auctioneers hnissiers , and gardes champetres are to take ihe oath of fidelity to himself and to the constitution .

From this amnesty , how . ever , those of tbe officers serving in big royal army at the Commencement of the insurrection who emhracfd the cautc of the provisional government are excepted , and ate to he exiled , ' ~ ; Th " e decree . banishing the Duke of Augostenburg is also maintained . : '
. The amnesty above alluded to wss published by the King of Denmark pursuant to his . promise in his proclamation of the 28 th of January . ' ft ' will he recollected that thirty-three persons were excluded from the benefits of the _ former conditional amnesty . T " last act of grace excludes eighteen ot these , so that only fifteen of lb ? Scbleswig-Hulsteiners remained outlawed . Among the latter are the Duke of Augustenborg and his family .-Prmce Frederick of Scnleswig . Holstein-Sosderburg and his family , . together with some other persons who were not conspicuous in tbe revolution . The amnesty is dated the 2 nd of March , and its provisions will takfe-fffoct on the 15 th inst . i
HANOVER . —Two commissions have been appointed , one to inquire into tbe laws for the administration of justice in their relation to tbe provisions of the constitution , and to re . port as to any changes necessary to be effected in them ; and the other to examine the communal and municipal ordinances . Both these commissions have beep appointed > in a very arbitrary manner , and most of the members have no seats in the Council of State . " '•
ITALY . ; i ROME , March 25 . —The Prince of Canino is still at Civita Veccbia , the report of bis bavin ? arrived at Rome being without foundation . It appears that the Pope-. vias actually and fully resolved to leave Some , and place himself under the protection of the Austriaris at Bologna , if Canino was allowed by tbe French authorities to jenter Rome ; so that before proceeding to sucb extremities the ambassador has despatched a telegraphic message tojParis for instrnctions . !
, PIEDMONT . —The 25 tb March was celebrated Iwith great pomp at Casate , to commemorate the gallant defence of that place against the Austrians in 1819 the defenders consisting chiefly of the inhabitants themselves , vsiib hardly any cannon at their disposal , and very bad and old fortifications . In ; the evening the town was illuminated . { This important point is now being regularly fortified by the Piedmontese government . - ' \ Letters from Savoy speak of the increasing strength of the French party in that duchy . Ultramontanists aha revolutionists are , it is said , working together for a separation from Piedmont and union with France . The great numbers of Imperial veterans who bave their homes there jand tbe many tradesmen who , having accumulated money in ; the French towns , return with French ideas to spend their days in their native Savoy , exercise great influence in this direction . " ¦ !
, 7 h > 'Tuscan Monitor' of the 31 st ult . bad received a telegraphic despatch from Leghorn , announcing that t ^ e Prince of Canino was stiff at Civita Vecchia . the First Secretary of the French Embassy had returned to that town to prevail upon him to depart ; , be replied that he should first receive an answer , from Paris , which he expected on the 2 nd or 3 rd inst . The relations between the . French and-Roman authorities continued to be excellent . . . The inquiry concerning the disturbances which occurred in the carnival is still going on at Rome . Fifteen persons bave been set at liberty on condition of tbeir abstaining from any intercourse with suspected persons and frequenting public places . They are also to retire to thei & homea before sunset . '
SWITZERLAND . Letters from . Berne of the 2 nd state that the government had the preceding day handed to tbe Minister of Frances reply to the last note of March . Bib . In it the Federal Council endeavours to show by facts that it has . dope all it could do iu the affair of the refugees , withou t , however , sacrificing the ri g h t of asylum , which-it considers one of the most precious privileges of civilized nations . Upwards of fifty refugees , thirty being French and twenty Germans , have been sent away from Switzerland within a short time . About twenty others have been directed to live in towns in the interior . The answer declares that the Federal Comt missionera , MM . Kern and Trng , have acted in the eweum - stance with both eaergy and prudence .

TURKEY . j According to a telegraphic despatch of tbe 20 tb of March , ! received at Vienna from Constantinople , tbe Sultan-wrote under tbe Egyptian note demanding a modification in the T & raimat , Uhis request I neither can , ought , nor will grant . ' BOSNIA . —The new vizier , Veliedvin Pacha , has arrived at Serajevo ; he immediately visited the prisons , and was greatly shocked at the scenes which he there witnessed aad
, tbe horrors to which tbe unhappy . prisoners were , exposed , and at once tried to make some arrangements to ameliorate their lot . He found that during the last two months no less than sixty prisoners had died in consequence . of ihe privations and wretchedness to which they were expos ? d . Others lost their senses ; among these was the Franciscan monk Jukitsch , who was then removed to Ihe ' infirmary , where he attempted to commit self-destruction . The misery of those prisons is untold .
Notwithstanding all the rumours of consp iracies , the go . vernment has not arrived at any clw > , aud the whole ap . pears to be an invention , though unfortunatel y . it affords a pretext for momentary arrests . The feeling against Austria is strong , and every person who is suspected , however vaguely or unjustly , of having anythin g to do with Austria is summarily arrested and thrown into prison on the accuss ' - tion of being a spy in Austrian pay .

The Kaffir Wab. The War Is Not Yet Ended...
THE KAFFIR WAB . The war is not yet ended , nor is there any prospect of its apeedy conclusion . - : The General Screw Steam Shipping Company ' s shi p Propontrs , arrived at Plymouth on Saturday morning , having left Cape Town on the 3 rd of March . . .-. f No intelligence of any military operations of consequence had transpired during the last month .. General Somerset ' s and Colonel Eyre ' s patrols were yet in Kaffirland , destroying the enemy ' s crops and devastating their country , Sir Harry Smith has published a memorandum , dated Head-quarters , - King William ' s Town , February 21 st , in which it is stated that an amicable arrangement hag been concluded with the Trans-Keian chief Bokoo , his son Map ^ ssa , and their tribe . - In answer to his message for peace Kreilt was told that Sandilla and the Gaikas must . first vacate the Amatolas and cross the Kei . i Another memorandum , dated February 22 nd , says that the patrol under General Somerset had destroyed nearly tbe whole of tho cultivation of the Gaika district .
Colonel Byre ' s despatch of the 18 th of February says that be bas destroyed Sandilli's kraal and extensive crops near the Kieskamma River , and in the Helebi Kloof . The enemy offered no resi < tahee . The " Graham ' s Town Extra" of February 24 th speaks favourably of the news per military post that morning . The proceedings of Colonel Eyre and Colonel Michel are producing a powerful effect upon the Kaffir mind . TJmhala had sent WO cattle , but the Governor , requiring 200 at a time , returned them , much to that chief ' s surprise . Several friendly chiefs continued to send in the cattle secreted by hostile tribes . In re lation to the failure of the burgher muster , this paper , on the previous day , the 23 rd , said : — " The enemy , it ia now ascertained , has resolved to continue the strife . Sandilli and Seyolo hold the fastnesses of the Keiskamma and Amatola . M ^ como is strongly in .
trenched in tne vvaterkloof , a natural fortress , well garrisoned and amply provisioned ; while Stock , retains a lurking-place in the Fish River Bush , where about seventy head of colonial cattle are consumed per week . Holding all this vantage ground , does there seem any likelihood of . tuc terms of a conqueror beirig enforced upon these Kaffirs ? Tho Commander-in-Chief seems likely to fail in uniting the colonial burghers and . in bringing them into the field . , ft need not be repeated that when his Excellency ' s proclamation of the 6 th was published the people of Graham ' s Tow j ? manifested great readiness to take the field ; but now , o $ application be-ng made through the Board of Defence ' fo ^ forajje to the burgher ' s horses , and ordnance arms to suol > as were not provided , bis Excellency refuses to render tho slightest assistance , —a decision which we < ire utterly at a loss how to account for . " ¦ ' !
Marauding bands continue to overrun Ma . ncazana , Ba- , vian ' s R i ver Albany , and the neighbourhood oi Forfc Beaufort , where cattle are stolen . The old commando law k put in force there again . The Civil Gommisssioner is . strengthening the posts at TJutenbage . Near Crafeok depTedations are as numerous as ever . Kear ButterwoVth a , larpe . body of Fingoes' were successfully , attackeo ' s by : Kaffirs ( Kreili ' s ) . who killed twenty fugitives and capti » "edi ' m ^ ea < 1 of catt , ^ » and afterwards made an effort agau > t a Wesleyan mission station . By tbe present course of prcV ceedings it seems more safe for the FittgOes to ailay them- > selves to our enemies than to ourselves . Many burehers i would join the muster at Oliphant ' s Hoek if summoned by : proclamation . Iu Lower Albany a . very commendable spirit has been evinced in the hope that the present war will be the prelude to a lasting peace , At Blinkwater much hard ; fighting will be required before Macomo surrenders : he ' appears neither humbled nor tired of the contest .
{ From the Cape Town Mail , March 2 . ) The present position of tho government of the colony is certainl y a most peculiar one . Tbe Governor has beeninrormed of the appointment of his successor , who bas not yet arrived , and . will probabl y not be here for a fortnieht , at the earliest . Such a circumstance , in ordinary times , would be of comparativel y trifling importance ; but at present , during war , its effects are serious , in striking down almost entirel y tbe influence of one officer when ' no substitution of the authority of another has been made . The war also , until General Cathcart ' a arrival , ¦ will now remain 'tit statu quo .

The subject is treated by the learned professor in pit > usd $ hapny style , and the information conveyed is well adapted ;^ raise inquiry amongst bankers , printers , engraver ? , | ahltshe « and the publ c in general who are interested insthe prevention of forgery . Some years since a aew mode of ' Copying eng $ avinns tank notes , & c , made its appearance under the nanie
of " the Anabatic process , " originally iiivepteaVDyiiuawpn Aooel a na tive of Silesia , to whom tbei prize medal pf / the Exhibition was awarded . This ingenious method of taUing fac similifs of cheques , engravings , and periodicals , was first shown by copying a sheet of " Punch , which was . distributed among theaudience . ? The , preparation of the paper or rather pulp , was then explained to be due to the presenee of at f involuble salt of copper , accompanied by fatty matter ; so that the means used t » take out the copper would not affect the . oily matter , whilst the solveat wh ^ h remaved ^ e oil would take away the printer ' s ink , and thus destroy the chance of forgery or piracy .
