In tha tibial account in the 1/cogs's- of the new
year's reeeption at the Tuileries, it is stated that
M. Troplong, the President of the Senate, was
" authorised, by exception, to depart, for a moment,
from the order of the ceremonial," and to address a
speech to the Emperor. M. Troplong said:

Beery year, Sire, seems desirous to add to the /readmit
of your reign. Pinsk vs, the Saute, to. seem the Ramon
of our conliSenee in his government, our gratitude
for the buck 00S011111•00* of England, and our patristic
solicited. for oar breve armies who so gloriously maintain
in the East the designs of your Majesty, and the honour of
the French name. The year which now oommences will
not be less propitious than the lest, for in politics bonsai
and loyal primes are fortunate. The year will be especially
happy for us, if Providence shall deign to shed His benefits
upon your Majesty's person, as well as upon the Empress
(who shares all your Majesty's French sentiments) and the
Imperial family.
The Emperor replied:
I thank the Senate for the sentiments it hu expressed
by the organ of its president. I shall ever reckon upon the
support of the Senate when the happiness of the French
people, the seems of our alliances, and the glory of our
elms are in (position.
A letter from Jassy of December 16 says that
Prince Ohika has drawn up en elaborate plan for a
reform in the organisation of Moldavia, which he has
submitted to the consideration of several young
boyards who have travelled in Europe, requesting
suggestions from them to improve his project, and
make it as conformable as possible to the institutions
of the Western nations. The Moldavian reform will, it
is stated, require a great deal of money. A petition
for the application of the immense revenues of the
Greek convents to the service of the State was
covered with signatures. The Moldavian militia
was to be raised to 16,000 men. The government of
the Principality had prohibited all communication
with the Russian territory.
The Bourse was greatly depressed to-day,
owing to the heavy fall in Console, and the
probable effect of the loan. The Rente closed
at the lowest price of the day, 65fr. 35c., with
a fall of If. 35c. Credit Mobilier fell 12fr. 50c. The
Orleans and Eastern Railways fell 10fr. each, and
the other lines from Mr. to 7fr. Bank of France

PARIS, MONDLY EVENING.
The vessel' of the Baltic fleet, which have been
fitted up as transports to convey troops to the Crimea
are on their return to be again fitted out for war, and
are to go to Brest and Cherbourg, where the two
divisions of the Baltic fleet are to assemble.

We read in the Sentinelle of Toulon, of the 30th
ult. :

The Tina line-of-battle ship, which was signalled yester-
day, and which Gould not enter on account of the violence
of the weather, anchored in the harbour this morning at
ball-past ten. She has need of repairs which will keep her
some months at Toulon. The fitting•up of the engines of
the Navarin and Souverain is advancing rapidly ; and it is
probable, from the number of workmen employed on these
vocals, that they will be ready for sea in the first quarter
of the year. The other vessels in course of construction are
also advancing ; and were it not for the great number of
workmen removed from them for the repairs of the vessels
coming into port, they could be urged on more rapidly. But
notwithstanding these delays, we shall have at Toulon in
the course of the spring a respectable reserve to meet every
eventuality.

SPAIN.

A Madrid letter says that the deputies of the
Basque Provinces have exerted themselves to obtain
permission from the Duke de la Vittoria for the
Jesuits to remain in the convent of Loyola. The
duke replied that he could not alone revoke a measure
which was the work of the whole cabinet. He is
stated to have added u his personal opinion : " Donde
hay un Jesuits, hay un peligro (where there is a
Jesuit, there is a danger.)"
