Tug Emperor of the French received the Diplo-
- Corps at the Tuileries n New Year's
Day, when Lord Cowley, the British Ambas-
sador, • in the absence of the Papal Nuncio,
offered the customary congratulations to His
lisjesty. The Emperor in reply thanked the
Anibesoulor for the good wishes they had
expressed, and said that he regarded the future
with confidence, "being convinced that the
friendly understanding between the Powers win
maintain peace, which is the object of all his
desires."

Frederick William IV., King of Prussia,
expired at noon on Wednesday, in the Palace of
411.1111 81141 Ci. The deceased king wits horn in the
year 1798. His education was carefully attended
to. and he had the advantage of studying under
the most celebrated instructors in the different
branches of literature, science, and art.
Although too young at the time to be intrusted
with any oominand, he nevertheless took part in

of tie Au-.: ion empire, and to abstain from all
participati,:a in public affairs. As a further
concession to Hungary. the Emperer has issued
an imperial decree unconditionally ineorporeting
the Witiwodiva mid the Banat with the
Hungaritut kingdom. His Majesty has also
ordered the immediate orgauisation of the
Chancery and "Guberneum" of Transylvania,
and the asmeubling of a conference of the most
eminent persons from the various classes' of the
different nationalities and religious confessions
to deliberate on the early organisation of the
Transylvaidan Diet. Accounts from Prague
state that placards, in the Bohemian language.
had been potted up in the streets of that city.
advising the Cxeche to remain quiet for the
present, as the moment for decisive action has
not yet arrived. to follow the example of the
Hungarians, who have nearly attained their
object, told, finally to trust in the Emperor of
the Freech. Imperial decrees have been issued
ordering that the forced currency of paper
money in I. tinbardo-Venctia shall ha inaintaMed,
and that the ilivideuds on the national lean,
which are bound to be paid in silver, will be
arbitrarity met in paper at the exchange of 140.
King Victor Emmanuel arrived at Turin
on Sat;trtiay evening from Naples, mid
Was received with great enthusimen. His
. Majesty has appointed Prince Carignan to
succeed Signor Furimui as Ids Lieutenant at
Naples, with Onnmander Nignt as Councillor
' and responsible Minister. The Sardiiiian t7ham-
: ber of Deputies has been dissolved. and a royal
decree heti been issued app )) itt ting the third of
February for the elections for the 110 W Italian
Parliament. the kitting,' of which are to com-
mence on the 18th of February. The siege of
Gaebt contintits day and night without inter-
mission. The report that the French fleet bad
received orders to leave is net confirmed, and it
is now mid that the Admiral has been instructed
to inform the King that the Emperor Napo-
leon, in agreement with the Northern Powers.
will continue to oppose the effective blockade of
Gaeta. The report of the Queen's departure
also appears to be unfounded.
The accounts (rain the 1. tilted States are daily
becoming of a graver character. General Cass
has resigued the Secretaryship of State, in con-
sequence of the President's refusal to send rein-
foroemeitts to the federal garrison in South
Carolina, and the Southern members of Con-
gress hare signed a manifesto declaring that the
day of cempromise hiss passed, told that nothing
can avert secession. President 'McMillan has
issued a proclamation appointing the 4th inst. as
a day td'loititilintion and prayer.

Mr. A UMW& AN Meant:in then rose to propose
the motion of which he hail given notice :—" That
the Town Clerk lie directed to furnish and send
copies of his letter to the Ireneral Hoard of Health,

General Porposes Committee, and the answer
of such tleneral Board thereto. to each

chased in all elleelalle and marked 'private and :

the lb.aril he thought he harl a right to aes: the

at their last meeting. told them that he had eltewn

what their contents were, and he hail understood
that the Town Clerk hail declined to thew the letters
to other meiubera. New lie was a member of that
Board, and here was an official e. 'cation be
tu cut their Clerk and the General Board ; and
he presumed lie bail as great a right to see it
as any telier member of the Board. He hal no
doubt that according to the contents of the letter

He del not see why Mr. Ireveniah or the Mayor
should have the right to give his advice upon the

than he hall. That Board was composed of the
