FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, Satiirday; August 25; 1860.
The papers of yesterday evening give full
details of the Emperor's reception at Lyons ; but

as the speeeli iiasbeeri serif, to yon by telegraph,
I need not reproduce it here. they Mate that
their Majesties " descended froth Fourneres
the midst of admirable weather, and of au im-
mense enthusiasm ;" that the windows of the houses
were decorated with flags, and that one united
sothid of weleonie issued from every breast. At
the conciaision a the address from the Lyonese
authorities and of the tei3;i3ii the Emperor and
Empress ascended to the upper galiefies of the
Palace, where there awaited them an exhibition
of silks and muslin fabrics, prepared by the Lyons
Chamber of Conthette and the Consulting Cham-
ber of Tarare. The finest of these fabrics were,

according to'--f‘ tradition," offered by tbs. two
Chainbers to the Empress. On the following
day the same enthusiastic reception awaited their
Majesties;—at leash so say the Government

The Emperor is
.stated id signed, pre-
viously to his departure, the decree whiett teedn-
stitutes on ft new footing the Napoleon Docks

Conipany, The establishment of docks or ware
houses intended for the reception of goods, of
sehieli it is designed. to "mobilize" the value, by
means of warrants or negotiable receipts, is likely,
I believe, to be received viith Pinch favour.
A telegraphic communication States that SS.
Farini and De la Roca, who, as I formerly men-
tioned, were to be sent by the Government of
Turin td have a conference with the Emperor
arri*ed do Sunday morning at Chambery for that
ptirPose, The serrii-official prints say they have
gone to congratulate his Majesty upon the acqui-
sition of his new provinces.
I have nothing to add to my last on the
siriiject
of Garibaldi and his present undertaking : all
and will be, conjecture for Ow most part for a few
days, as the wires have again been cut. Tile
Anti de la _Religion has a letter on the subject of
the Foreign Legion, consisting chiefly of Bava-
rians, in the service of the King of Naples. The
writer says that these fellows have declared that
they Will allow themselves to be killed to the last
man before they give in to Garibaldi; but he
adds that, if they are victorious, they mean to
punder the city in order to avenge themselves
on the citizens for the suspicions of which they
have been the object on their part, and for hav-
ing been exiled from the city. All I need remark
upon this is, that if the statement be true, the
first alternative is pretty certain to happen to
them.
The Correspondance Beier asserts that Capitano
Vacca, late of the Monarca, has gone to join Gari-
baldi.
General Goyon is said to have applied for a
reinforcement of 3,000 men, to the garrison of
Rome, conditional on his returning to that city,
but his request has been refused, and he does not
go back.
Uncommonly little, comparatively speaking, has
been written or said of Venice of late, although
Venetia may probably be destined to play no mean
part in the future of the great Italian question.
The following letter from that interesting city,
dated so recently as the 23rd inst., is well descry-
ing of perusal :—" Venice, the population of which,
according to the latest census, was 128,000, does
not at the present moment contain more than
60,000. Although the season is particularly
favourable for the baths, all the establishments,
hotels, and cafes are deserted. The theatres, to
the number of seven, are shut, with the exception of
the little Malibran theatre, in which the manage-
ment is forced to give, the same night, the Vene-
tian comedy, the operas, and the ballet. In spite
of the variety and attraction of this programme,
if the managers did not give day representations,
to avoid the expenses of lighting the hall, the
receipts would riot suffice to pay the artists.
The extraordinary successes of Garibaldi have
fascinated everybody here. The opposition to the
Austrian administration was never more audacious
or more violent: there is no lack of money in the
coffers of the secret committees. The numerous
volunteers who are being enrolled for Sicily
overcome with marvellous facility all the ob-
stacles to their crossing the frontier. Of the
25,000 volunteers who have joined the standard,
and united their fortunes to those, of Garibaldi,
it is reckoned that already more than 4,000 of
them are Venetians, and this number is augment-
ing every day. The arsenal, which forinerly
gave employment to so many workmen, and
contributed so much to the comfort and well-
being of the working classes, is at present
entirely abandoned. There is not to be seen a
single vessel under repair or in course ot build-
ing. The provisions warehouses, so overflowing
formerly with abundance of all good things, are
entirely stripped of their contents, the owners
having gone to Polla, near Trieste. At Padua
and at Vicentia the garrisons are considerably
increased. All the forts which defend the shores
of the Lake de Garda have received numerous
supplies. The garrison of Venice will amount in
the course' of a few days to 10,000 men, The
attitude of the people is causing the greatest
disqnietude to the authorities. Our official' press
seeks to !inspire a confidence which it does not
share. Never since 1848 have the Italian pro-
, vinces ok Austria been so unanimous in their
' aspirations on behalf of liberty and freedom."
A variety of .movements are noted on the part
of the Orleans family. The Count de Paris has
returned from the East, and after having paid a
visit to his aunts the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg,
at; Ebenthal, in Austria, and to his relations at
through Belgium on his
Mecklenburg, passing
way, he has gone to Claremont, where his Royal
Highness was to arrive on Saturday last. The,
Duke d'Aumale has also returned to Twickenham.
Another interesting female culprit has just made
her entree at the Tribunal of the 6th Chamber,
and been sentenced to a year's imprisonment.
lii this eases the party, who is " a woman of
rare beauty"' and dressed in the greatest ele-
gance, was charged with the commission of a
series of acts of swindling, on quite a magnificent
scale. Fsverybody in Paris has seen her at the
Café Prascoti, where she used to be seated at the
comptoir. She gave her name as 31arie Xanine
Jackson, and states that she was born in Paris,
that she, is thirty-two years of age, and that she
is a person it of independent property (rentiere).
In point of fact, the prisoner is the daughter of
a Polish merchant. She was married in the year
1845, and having " outrun the constable," in con-
sequence of the habits of extravagance in which
she indulged, she shortly afterwards quitted the
conjugal domicile, and entered upon a life of
adventures. In every
town in which Marie took
up her abode, she caused herself to be called a
countess,. and, said she was the daughter of a
Polish princess, naturalised in England, and who
had filled.a high position near the person of Queen
Victoria, -She.
added, that, in consequence of the
death of her mamma, certain family difficulties
had cOrnpelled her to take refuge in France, but
tho sficcession, which was' at present the sub-
fect of dispute before the tribunals of England,
would, when the qnestion was settled, place her
in possession of a fortune of eight millions and a
half of francs; In order the better to deceive
her dupes, she showed a sort of acknowledgment
for 50,000 francs, granted by a Spaniard named
Etcheverna, of whose insolvency all the world
had for a long time back been perfectly satisfied.
By means of these and suchlike contrivances
she had succeeded in effecting a lodgment for
six weeks in an hotel in the Rue Marbuf, kept
by a lady of the name of Brion. It is unnecessary
to add that Marie forgot to pay the hotel bill, and
she had even the address to induce Madame
Brion to sign her name as guarantee to a trades-
man for a sum of 10,000 francs. In short, she
had so entirely insinuated herself into tactually goo
graces of this lady that the latter h d
a y
made preparations for disposing of her hotel in
order to follow the fortunes of Madame Jackson
in the capacity of lady companion. Nanine was
constantly short of cash whenever her tradesmen
required to be paid. When she was brought
before the court on the present charge, several
of the persons whom she had thus victimised
appeared to complain against her. A M.
Bernard had supplied her with dresses to the
value of nearly 10,000 francs ; a Madame Car-
tigny, a dressmaker, was in for a balance of 307
francs ; and M. Cette had supplied some most
fashionable garments to the tune of 1581 francs
and there were several other similar accounts
which Nanine had omitted to remember. But
this was not the worst; this clever lady swindler
had ales abused the credulity of several poor ser-
Tanta, to-Whom she had given the title of " lady
companions." . A widow, named. Poegnet, had
