According to the terms of art . 32 , of the decree of February 17 , 1852 . a first warning is addressed to the "Presse" newspaper in the person of II . Rouy , one of the gerans , and M . Emile de Girardin . Art . 2 . The prefect of the police of Paris is charged with the execution of the present decree . Done at Paris , April 9 , 1852 . —The Minister of General Police , De Matjp . as . '
  
  The ' Corsaire' has been seized , and on Saturday mnrningM . de Maupas summoned before him M . MaUac , formerly the head of a ministerial division under M . Guizot , and at present one of the proprietors and redaeluers of the 1 Assembles Rationale . ' The royal style in which the Grand Dolce Consfantine has treated the Count de Chambord at Venice , has given great umbrage to the Prince President , so that it seems by no means improbable that a more vi gorous representative of the republic will be despatched to the Queen of the Adriatic .
  
  M . Berryer dined a few ( feys ago at the Elysee . Larochjacqnflein dined with the Prince-President a day or two before M . Berryer , bat the chief of La Vendee bad at least the excuse that he went on a charitable mission . He had written to Louis Napoleon to solicit the pardon of four legitimists condemned to transportation . The President answered by an invitation to dinuer , where they would talk over the matter . M . Berryer ' s excuse is not known . M . Soaesme a rich proprietor of the Loirer , who was demned to
  
  con deportation by the conrt-martial of that department , for shooting a gendarme in the days of December , has had his sentence coranrated to simple expulsion from France . This has produced a bad effect upon the public , who see in it a proof that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor . Why not have also commuted the sentences of thousands of poor men , who have been condemned to transportation to Algeria for offences far less grave than that of this rich proprietor .
  
  Since the 2 nd of December eiaht journals of Paris , and forty-nine in the departments have expired . Of the latter sixteen were legitimist , twenty-nine Republican , one Orleamst , and one Bonaparlist . M . Alexandra Martin , ex-representative of the Loirer , who was condemned to transportation to Cavenne . has been set at liberty . The forest administration has ordered abont two hundred workmen to clear the rides in the forest of Compiegne . It is said that Louis Napoleon is to pay a visit to Compiegne in the month of May . and although the season will be rathsr late for fuch sport , that a few stags , and perhaps a boar or two , will be run down with much pomp and circumstance . The President is making extensive purchases of hounds of different breeds to compose bis kennel .
  
  ^ PowriCAt Prisoners . —M . Qaentin Bauchart , charged with the revision of the mixed commissions in the south of France , proceeded on the Chinst . to the Chateau d ' lf , accompanied by several of ihe principal functionaries of the Bonches-du-Rhone . Thereafter having interrogated the p risoaere , he ordered twenty-trine to be set at liberty . He was next to proceed to the Var and the Basses-Alpes , to fulfil his mission . General Caurobert arrived at Nevers on March 31 st , and set at liberty , or comma ed the sentence of seventy-foar political prisoners , om of 225 condemned to transportation . The next day , at Cosnes , thirty-five out of 185 were set free . At Clamecv , where the prisoners were TOfy nmneron . 3 , he granted bnt a small number of pardons . There remain there between 300 and 400 to be transported . At Auxerre , on the 7 th inst ., he set at liberty 107 , on the condition of their being subjected to the surveillance of the Police .
  
  The extraordinary influence of ladies of the stage in procuring the pardon of people condemned to transportation , bas caused it latterly to be said that the French government of the present day is a despotism tempered by actresses . It appears that in the destruction of Lagos the establishments of some French merchants , who profess to trade in gum , were involved . These merchants , belonging chiefly to Marseilles , have addressed a memorial of their losses to the Trench government , and applications are now beine made tkouab . the french embassy in London , to the British go-Ternment , for indemnity .
  
  The hopes of an amnesty that were faintly entertained in some quarters seem to be at an end . It appears that the delay io sending out tbe transport ships arose from the unprepared state of the authorities in Algeria to receive so many prisoners . The event of Easter Monday was a grand review in the Place da Carroasel . The President arrived from the Elysee in a close chariot ; the carriage of his aide-de-camp was , on the contrary , uncovered . This distinction ha 3 drawn the more notice , as the President has latterly been in the habit of driving about in an opencarriage . He was attended
  
  to-aay b y a strong escort of cnirassiers . A good many Crosses were distributed by the President in person . After the review , be returned to the Eljsee on horsehack along the Roe Rivoli , surrounded by a numerous staff , including many general officers . No precautions were taken to keep off the crowd on this occasion , and the curious were even allowed to quit the foot-pavement , and to press rather yfT rr t ° tbe line of the corte 9 - Tnere we je some cries 01 Vive Napoleon * in the Rue Rivoli , but they were by no means general . The ceremony of taking off the hat as the President passed was only observed by comparatively few of the spectators .
  
  The 'Patrie * estimates at 6 000 the number of persons sentenced to transportation throughout the whole extent of the republic . The estates of NeuHly and Monceaux , formerly belong ing to the Orleans famil y , and confiscated to the state by the decree of January 22 , were taken possession of on Monday by the administration of the domain of the state . The' Constitutionnel * states that tbe 10 th of May has been fixed for tbe grand review and destribution of eagles in the Champ de Mars . All the regiments composing the garnson of Pans will he present , and the other regiments of the French army will be represented by their colonel and a depuation . On the 9 th a fete will be given at the Ecole Militaire by tbe French army io the President of the Republic , who haB accepted the invitation .
  
  The Pnnce de Canino has arrived in Paris , and , it is said , has had an interview with his cousin the President of the Republic . On Monday , on the employes of the domain taking possession of thepark of Monceaux , it is said , the conceige refused to give up the keys . A commissary of police was consequently sent for to overcome his scruples . On receiving the Otter to continue in his post this old servant of the Orleans 2 HT ? T * 1131111 * "feed , saying that he would never consent to become tbe servant of robbers .

  made , and three years for cases of condemnation before th correc tional police ; in every instance , before any demand conld be entertained , the whole of the damages and costs incurred should be paid up . The bill was ordered to be printed and distributed . The President also slated that he had received other bills from the Minister of State , tending to authorise the town of St . Omer , and the departments of the Hautes-P yrenees , the Meuse , and the Pas de Calais , to contract loans . These four bills were ordered Io be referred io the same committee . The order of the day was the report of the committee on tbe Copper Coinage Bill , but the amendments referred to the Council
  
  of state not having been sent back , the report could not bs prepared . The President then stated that in a few days a series of bills would be presented to tbe Assemblyone relative to certain railway lines ; another to the mortgage system ; another concerning the customs ; and , in addition the budget for 1853 . These various matters , the President observed , would afford full occupa tion to the Legislative body to the end of the session . As it was not possible to name the precise day on which the Legislative body would have next to meet , notice should be sent to the members at their residences . The sitting was then brought to a close at a quarter to four .
  
  GERMANY . AUSTRIA . —Viex&'a . —Tbe death of Prince Schwarzenberg will not cause any change in the internal or the foreign policy of Austria . The fortifying of this city is again under lively discussion , the project formerly entertained of the establishment of an enormous arsenal has received the Imperial sanction . Orders have been given for the preparation of the plans . It is said that the Emperor intends going to Venice immediately after the arrival there of the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael .
  
  The ' Gazette' of Ap ril 8 th contains a particular account of the funeral obsequies of the deceased prince , which took place yesterday . The body wbb laid out in state in a hall of the Foreign-office , and exposed during the morning to the gaze of the curiou ? . The roams , as usual , were hung with black , and the coffin was surrounded with lighted tapers . At two o ' clock the corp 3 e was brought out and carried to the St . Michael ' s Kirche . After the funeral ceremony , a procession was formed and the coffin was taken to the station of the Northern Railway for conveyance to Bohemia . The Archdukes William and Rayner were there , numbers of the haute noiblesse and the whole corps diplomatique , besides the ministry , all the generals in the city , and a crowd of functionaries . The military display was very striking . The crowd was quiet and respectful , which was all that could be expected of it .
  
  On the 9 th inst . the Customs Congress at Vienna resumed Us sittings . Dr . Heck addressed the delegates on the subject of Prince Sch . w . arzenberg ' 8 death , and announced that that event would not lead to any modification in . the political and commercial system pursued by Austria . Tbe emperor , he said , had given orders that this fact should be communicated to all the representatives of foreign courts . The French Consul at Trieste has , by order of his government , taken down the escutcheon bearing the words , ' Liberty , Egalily , Fraternity , ' and replaced it by the imperial eagle . PRUSSIA . —Tbe Hamburg Free Traders are violently agitating against the junction of Hanover with the Zollverein , because their particular commercial interests are thereby injured , and they fear that Hamburg itself may at length have no alternative but also to join the Zollverein .
  
  The succession in Baden is said to be settled . The heir apparent is to be proclaimed Grand Duke , bnt Prince Frederick is to conduct the government as regent . A total change of ministry and system is expected when this event takes place . The termination of the Hanoverian ministerial crisis is officiall y announced ; MM . Borries and Decken , the representatives of the knightly party , retire . By a resolution of the First Chamber of Darmstadt , the decision of the Lower House , re-establishing the punishment of death , has been confirmed .
  
  ITALY . ROME . —The difficulties raised by the Papal Bee against the oaths to he taken by French bishops , as members , e # qffieio . of the senate , will probably be smoothed down , in consideration of the President not hating hitherto insisted upon his cousin being received into Rome . The operations of the police still continue to irritate the population of Rome and tbe environs . A barber of this city put an end to his existence a few days ago in consequence of having been arrested and ordered to leave Rome . He was the father of five children , and without tbe pecuniary means of obeying , and therefore in a fit of despair he took out his razar whilst the gendarmes were conducting him up the prison steps , and cut his throat .
  
  The Genoa Gazette * of the 8 tb inst . announces the departure of the Prince of Canino en the fith inst . from Civita Vecchia , on board the French steamer Industrie . Tbe latter arrived at Leghorn on the 7 tb , and was to proceed to Marseilles via Bastia . NAPLES- —The arrival of the Prince of Canino at Civita Vecchia has created considerable uneasiness at court . The despatches which announced this fact to the Neapolitan government at the same time stated the determination of the Pope to leave Rome , shonld the French minister fail in his endeavour Io keep the Prince at Civita Vecchia . His Sicilian Majesty immediatel y sent off a courier , offering Pio Nono his old asylum at Gaeta ; but it appears his Holiness basdecided to throw himself next time into the arms of Austria should circumstances compel him to do 80
  
  The authorities have received orders from the Minister of Police to watch attentivel y if Murat ' s name is uttered , and tojeport if they have any reason to suppose the existence of a French party . Meanwhile some fresh arrests have taken place . The state trials are suspended for an indefinite period . The well-known Navarro , President of the Court , is dyine from gangrene in the foot . TURIN . —The Chamber of Deputies on the 9 th inst . passed , by a lar ^ e majority , the treaty of commerce between France and Sardinia .
  
  HUNGARY . Several yonng men were arrested , a few days ago , at Pesth , for having worn tricolour ribbons , and cried Long live Kessutb ! ' Two toydealers were also arrested for having exposed for sale dolls and toys ornamented with the national colours .

None of the journals are permitted to comment upon the new decree concerning the press .
  
  Since the publication of the decree upon the press almoBt every journal in Madrid has been daily seized and obliged to publish second editions deprived of the offensive articles . Several companies that have been , publishing great numbers of translated French novels have been constrained to close their business , novels of that class being particularly the object of governmental interference
  
  PORTUGAL . Dates from Lisbon to the 31 st ult . announce that the ordinary three months ' session of the Cortes had been closed on that day in consequence of the vote to abolish capital punishment for political offences noticed by the lastPeninsular mail , and the legislature was ordered to meet , for an extraordinary session of two months , on the 28 th of May
  
  GREECE . Letters from Athens , in the German journals , state that the Supreme Conrt of A ppeal of Greece had confirmed the sentence of an inferior tribunal , condemning Mr . King , the American missionary , to fifteen days' imprisonment , a heavy fine , and expulsion from the Kingdom , for having preached the Protestant religion in violation of the constitution . On this , Mr . King addressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs a protest against the judgment both in his and in
  
  own name that of the American government , from which he held , he declared , an official mission . He added that he would not voluntarily obey the jnd gment . It was not known whether the Greek government would expel him by force ; hut if it should , it was considered likely that the United States would uke » p his defence .

  farthing of the revenues of their estates will they be allowed to handle , tbe government having long since appropriated the whole as rewards to its military and civil employes . The Act of Pardon says that only loyal subjects have a right to hold property in Russia .
  
  UNITED STATES . The Royal Mail steamer Niagara , Captain Stone , arrived at Liverpool at ten on Tuesday evening , after rather a protracted passage from Boston via Halifax . On tbe morning of the Niagara ' s departure from Boston , a very destructive ftte broke out in that city , which wholly destroyed that extensive building , the Tremont Temple , and greatly endangered the adjoining hou 8 eB « s well-as ihe Tremont Hotel opposite . One person was killed , and ^ therfl seriously injured , but it was not practicable to ascertain the loss of life and property before the steamer sailed . Halifax papers of the 26 th ult . state that Messrs . Howe and Fullerton , liberal members , had been returned to the Canadian parliament . There is no news of interest from any part of Ihe United States .
  
  INDIA . The Indian mail brought advices from Bombay to tbe 19 th ult . The Burmese expedition consists of 6 , 000 troops , two vessels of war , and thirteen steamboats . Additional forces from China were expected . Tbe departure of tbe expedition was to take place from Calcutta and Madras on the 19 th of March . The forces were to rendezvous at the momh of the Cass , or the eastern branch of the Irawaddy . The expedition would probably proceed up the latter branch to avoid the resistance prepared on the route by Rangoon , where 20 , 000 Burmese troops were assembled . The British forces were intended to advance to Prome . Parties of the Burmese had ravaged the frontier villages . Advices received are from Bombay , March 15 j Calcutta , March 6 ; Hong-Kong , Feb . 27 .
  
  We have not as yet ( sayB the ' Bombay Times ') had time to obtain further tidings of note from Burraah ; such as have been received are anything but pacific . The King is said to have Bent a deputation to the Commodore , stating that if the Fox would show some distinguishing flag , as indicative , we presume , ef a tone of peace , she would not be molested or fired on from the stockades . To this no answer seems to have been given . On tbe 24 lh of January an earthquake was experienced in Upper Scinde , Cutchie , and over Goozerat ; in the second named it seems to have occasioned much mischief . Intelli gence has been received of the accidental smothering of fifty Coolies out of a cargo of 234 in the hold of the Futtay Salam during a hurricane off Madras on the 22 nd-25 th December . The hatches had been battened down and cries for relief were unheard during the fury of the storm .
  
  AFFGHANiSTAN .-Doat Mahomraedia quietly ruling , and Gholara Hyder is still at Jellahabad with a force of between four and five hundred regular infantry and about a thousand horse . The'Hurkaru' states , 'That some Burmese , just arrived from their native country , report that an array of 20 , 000 men has been got together to oppose the impending invasion . They say it is a month ' s journey from Rangoon to Ava , and that they are preparing to dispute every inch of the way . We shall see . ' ' The most important news from the North Western frontier is of Sir Colin Campbell ' s return to Peshawur . The force marched in on the 15 th ultimo after destroying a number of villages in the disturbed districts .
  
  CHINA . m The ' Overland Friend' of February 27 has the following :- « The Chinese New Year Holidays have passed over quietly , so far ; and the affairs of the Empire are not known to be in a much more desperate condition than they were at the date of our last despatch . Pears were entertained , before the commencement of the year , ( or the safety and quiet of Canton ; but as mentioned on a previous occasion , we need not fear for Canton whilst Kwei-lin-foo , the capital of Kwang-si ( the adjoining province ) is in the hands of the Imperialists .
  
  'The ink of this writing was not dry when we received the following important item of intelli gence . Teen-teh has ordered his troop 3 to proceed from five different points to attack the city KweMin-foo ; in consequence of which the Tartar general is in a great fright , and has 8 fnt despatches to Seu demanding an immediate supply of men and money . ' It la reported that on account of rebels having taken possession of Ping-nan-heen and Chaou-ping-heen , the Tartar general had collected troops from the four provinces of Kwang . tungCwang . se , Tunna , and Kwei-chow , to the number of 13 , 000 , to attack the rebel camp , which was distant about 120 le ( forty miles ) . On the way they met , as by accident , a small body of rebels , who hastily retreated before tuem-the troops kept up a close pursuit , but in passing the night through an extensive grove of bamboos , they found themselves suddenlv surrounded hv

  Wreck of the Steamer Porto . —Oporto , March 30 . —A mest lamentable occurrence in the loss of the steamer Porto ( Portuguese ) has thrown this city into the greatest consternation , all her passengers ( thirty-six in number ) having perished , and only seven of her crew saved . That unfortunate vessel sailed from this on Sunday morning for Lisbon , and from some cause or another bore up again after being as far south as Figueira , and on taking the bar last evening about six o ' clock , she atruck on some rocks called the ? Forgados , ' inside the bar , when the anchor was let go , but somehow or other she drifted , and , not answer .
  
  ing her helm , she got embedded in a reef of rocks , where no aid could be sent to her j and , night coming on , she went to pieces in a few hours . Among the Bufferers are Mr . Joseph Allen , of this place , and two daughters ; Mr . Anderson , from London , shipowner , who was here on account of the Harriet , bound to Australia ; Mon 8 . Destrees , French Consul at this port ; Mr . Anderson ' s nephew ; Senhor Jose Augusfo da Silveira Pinto , nephew of the wellknown Senhor Albano , of Lisbon ; Senhor Antonio Jose Placido Braga ; Senhor Francisco Vieira de Sousa Oliviera of the Commercial Bank . As yet no bodies have been picked up .
  
  A letter from Christiana states that an engineer in that place has just invented a machine for cutting through the ice . It is worked by steam , and has the form of a locomotive engine , with six cogged wheels . It sets in motion four saws , which make deep incisions in the ice , and as the cuts are made the men follow and break up the ice with heavy hatchets . It is by means of this invention that the ice in that port has been broken , and a free passage opened for several vessels to proceed to Bea .
