A message and decree have been presented to the Senate, naming the Empress Regent, if the Emperor has not otherwise determined by public or secret. act. A Privy Council is established, which will become, with two French Princes, a Council of Regency. The following are members :—Cardinal Morlot, Duke Malakoff, MM. Fould, Troplong, Morny, Baroche, and Peisigny. The Emperor has also appointed Prince Jerome Napoleon a member of the Privy Council. The Princes Albert, Adalbert, awl Frederic Charles of Prussia, and Prince Lichtenstein of Austria, nre at present on a visit to the Emperor, to convey to him the congratulations of their respective Courts at his Majesty's recent escape. On Wednesday the Em peror reviewed the Imperial Guard in the presence of the Empress and his illustrious guests. The enthusiasm of the troops was particularly marked. The preparations for the trial of the conspirators are proceeding. The new projet de loi to provide for the public safety consists of cert Lin additions to several of the articles of the Penal Code. Article 2 punishes with imprisonment of from one month to two years every individual who, with the object of disturbing the public peace, or of exciting haired and contempt against the Go vernment of the E m peror, shall have practised any intrigues or curie i on any correspondence either within this couutry or abroad. Article 3 punishes the sale of murderous engines without a proper authorisation. Article 7 declares as follows : Any individual may be interne in France or Algeria, or expelled, who was condemned, expelled, interne, or trans ported in May or June, Igt4B, in June, 1849, or in Decem ber, 1 il, and who may again have been pointed ont by important circumstances as dangerous to the public safety. This last clause, says a letter from Paris, has created great, though unfounded, alarm among the operative classes of the Faubuurgs St. Antoine and St. Marceau : There is hardly a man among them who has not taken part in the insurrection of Jane and the revolution of February, 1/i4 , 4, and they imagine that the new law, by its retrospective operation, will annul the effect of the am• nesties granted at different intervals to shield them from the results of their participation in the civil struggles of the period of anarchy which preceded the Emperor's accession to the throne. His Majesty is, however, deter mined not to sanction any abuse of power which a loose interpretation of that very elastic measure might give rise to, and unless the oavriers lend an ear to the suggestions of the demagogues and secret societies, ever at work to recruit an in-tit - remit - may a-my, they may rest assured that the past will continue forgotten and forgiven. DENMARK AND HOLSTEIN. g i The accounts from Copenhagen state that the very animated discussions, which lasted through two day, terminated by the rejection of the Hol stein proposals by 41 votes against 6. The President declared that the acceptance of these proposals would be equivalent to the annihila tion of the Great Charter, and that Denmark ought the less readily to consent to such a measure as her position was not an isolated one. gnat anti tastion. The Prince and Princess Frederick William of Prussia received addresses of congratulation on Saturday, at Buckingham Palace, from the Corpora. tion of the City of London, the Commissioners of Lieutenancy for the City of London, and from the Fishmongers' Company.

William Henry and Lady Lsura Mtireck, was celebrated at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, on Thursday morning, in the presence of a brilliant circle of friends. 129 and accordingly Mr. William Aston has given a large blue morocco case, lined with white satin, containing upwards of a dozen complete sets of those useful articles, including, among others, buttons for a lady's dress in gold and silver, mosaic, carved pearl, bloodstone, white cornelian, and fancy velvet and silk, in the shape of acorns, thistles, forget-me-nots, and many other ingenious devices. There is also a splendid papier-mache enamelled writing-desk, with the letters "V. F." in enamelled brilliants in the centre encircled by olive wreaths in emeralds, united by a true lovers' knot; sent by Messrs. Jennens and Bettridge. Many other specimens of the native manufactures were contributed by, among others, Messrs. Hinks, Wells and Co., Cadbury, Brothers, Mr. Charles Rowley, Messrs. Myers, Messrs. Mills and Wilkes, and Messrs. Salt. Deputations also from the Staffordshire Potteries, consisting of Mr. John Ridgway (the Mayor of Hanley), Mr. Alderman Wedgewood, and Mr. Thomas Battam, and from the corporation of Worcester, composed of the Mayor and Messrs. Kerr and Binns, had also the hononr of waiting upon the Prince and Princess, and of presenting gifts. Those from the Potteries consisted of a dejefiner service, executed in raised gold and white porcelain, with a monogram of the Prince and Princess, and a repre sentation of the Prussian crown mounted in a very splendid case lined with velvet, and two busts ih ceramic statuary, one of the Queen from the marble of Joseph Durham, and the other of the Prince Consort from the marble of Baron Marochetti, life size. The donation from Worcester was a bridal plateau, containing a series of illustrations from Raphael's designs of the " Marriage of Cupid and Psyche," executed in monochrome of a sepia tint upon a gold ground. The Prince and Princess expressed the gratification with which they accepted these fine specimens of art, and especially admired the beauty of the ceramic statuary. A great number of the presents to the Princess Royal having been previously packed up and sent to Berlin could not be exhibited to the visitors ad mitted to Buckingham Palace. Among these were magnificent presents from the Countess of Fife and others, and articles of their own work sent by every lady of the royal household, and by many personal friends and acquaintances of the Princess. DEPARTURE or Tax PRINCE AND PRINCESS FREDERICK WILLIAM OF PRUSSIA. ON Tuesday our late Princess Royal, accompanied by her husband, left the land of her birth amidst the cheers and blessings of thousand; who thronged the route. It had wisely been det-rmined to give the populace of London an ample opportunity of obtain. ing a parting glance at the eldest daughter of their Queen ; and for this purpose it was arranged that the procession should pass through the centre of the metropolis. A quarter to twelve was the time fixed for leaving Buckingham Palace. Long before that time great numbers of pert , ons assembled in St. James's-park; though, in consequence of its being universally known that the route would be through some of the principal streets of the metropolis, the crowd in the park was by no means inconveniently large. A line was formed by the police about eleven o'clo-k, and shortly after a detachment of Life Guards and of Household Troops drew up on the esplanade in front of the Palace ; the band of the latter playing " Home, sweet home." _ At ten minutes to twelve the royal cortege made its appearance through the gateway of the Palace. First came a detachment of the Life Guards ; then en open carriage and four containing the Prince and Princess Frederick William, the Prince Consort, and the Prince of Wales ; a second carriage in which rode the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Alfred ; and four other carriages conveying the ladies and gentle men in attendance on the Royal party. A detach ment of the Life Guards brought up the rear. It would be presumptuous to speculate on the scene which had passed in the Palace, but it was evident from her Royal Highness's countenance that the trial of parting had been to her a severe one, and it was some little time before she could sufficiently subdue her emotion to acknowledge the cheers with which she was received. This touch of nature gained her many a blessing as she drove along. Her Majesty and the Royal children came out en the balcony and watched the procession as long as it continued in sight. The snow had already begun to fall, and it came down faster and faster as the Royal party moved at a gentle trot along the Mall, by Stafford house, down Cleveland-row, and Pal-mall. So far the crowd was not very thick ; but from the corner of Trafalgar-square to the lit icklayer's Arms station two dense lines of people thronged the route. The houses, too, on each side, gaily decorated with hundreds of flags, were filled with eager gagers. As the procession reached abreast of the National Gallery an enthusiastio cheer burst from the crowd, and rolled up along the extended line without jot"' mission from the square te the station, There w . .. -.. . . -....- • t THE PRESS, FEBRUARY 6, 1858 . reminding hearers that the wealthy natives of Bombay had been amongst the first to come forward with subscriptions gnat anti tastion. 1 and accordingly Mr. William Aston has given a large in aid of the sufferers in the mutinies and expressions of 1 blue morocco case, lined with white satin, containing indemation at the cruelties perpetrated in various parts of upwards of a dozen complete sets of those useful was the oldest possessi on o f t h e Th e P r i nce and Princess Frederick William of articles , including, among others, buttons for a t h e country--that Bombay English in India—end that during 200 years no attempt Prussia received addresses of congratulation on lady's dress in gold and silver, mosaic, carved pearl, , had ever been made to subvert our rule.
