WEATHER REPORT.

King Francis 11. leave' Rome. Mil departure seems
now certain. It is in consequence of representations made
to the Pope by various members of the diplomatic body,
who consider the sojourn in Rome of the ex-King of the
Two Sicilia' a permanent cause of trouble. The king, it
is said, has decided on fixing his residence is Bavaria,
already the refuge of the ex-King of Greece. Francis 11.
has sent General Bosco to Munich to find him a suitable Queenstown .'M.6464 2

ROME.

A communication from Rome of the 3rd, in the '
Debut.,, says :
The Roman government has just ordered a fresh expel-
"ion, namely, that of M. Louis Delittre, • Frenchman, •
clever linguist. M. Delatre belongs to the school of liberal
thinkers, and is a vigorous writer and a poet, whom I suspect
to be guilty of having furnished to French journals articles not 1
remarkable for their tenderness for the temporal govern-
ment.
After having in 1859 published • volume of Italian'
poetry called " Canti a pianti," in which the Roman 1
court was rather severely treated, M. Debitn had the im-
prudence to publish, at the beginning of the present year,
• pamphlet entitled, " Rome et Bade," containing, under
the for m of dithyrambic', four bitter satires. This being
shown to the Pope, he exclaimed, on reading the first
lines, "And the person who wrote it is at Rome!" The
writer was summoned to the boon govern, where he re-
ceived an intimation to leave Rome immediately, and not
to return. M. Debits submitted, and took his departure,
discharging, like the Parthian, his parting arrow. In
1 bidding adieu to his friends, he said, " I have sufficient con-
fidence in the destinies of Italy to hope that my exile will
not be eternal."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(ESOP OUR OWN ocoalseroNDZST.)
PARIS, TUESDAY EVLNING.

There is a stereotyped fiction, dear to govern.
ments when they haughtily contradict disagreeable
uews,:that it is impossible for the vulgar public to
know anything that passes in a ministerial council.
Experience has so often proved the vulnerability of
this theory, that I do not hesitate to mention a
piece of lICWS which I think comes from a good
source, though, of course, I cannot be quite sure
that it is true. lam told that at the protracted
council, presided by the Emperor on Saturday, M.
da Persigny proposed to meet the Paris elections
by reactionary measures. He vehemently de-
nounced the "ingratitude" of the Parisians, called
them "incorrigible," insisted that they were fit
for nothing but coercion, and proposed that the
Emperor should revoke his famous liberal decree of
November. The other ministers, while speaking in
lukewarm terms of the concessions of November,
which they said they would not have advised, were
nevertheless of opinion that it would be impru-
dent, at this time of day, to go back. The Emperor
simply said that the question was not ripe for
decision, and that he would consider what should
be done at some future time. It is reported that
he is quite as much irritated as M. de Persigny ;
but his hesitation gives a locus pcnitentia of which
it is to be hoped he will have wisdom enough to
take advantage. It is his manifest interest to
accept cheerfully the result of the late elections.
Any coup d'etat against them would deprive bim
of the constitutional vantage ground upon which
he has now an opportunity to stand, and by
betraying a radical incompatibility between his
dynasty and the French people, would enormously
injure his prestige with foreign powers.
With regard to Mexico, the government treats
the French people like children. The Constitit-
tionuel is instructed to say this morning that no
reliance is to be placed upon Mexican news from
any foreign source whatsoever, whether American,
Spanish, English, or other. That caution would
be all very well if the government published the
news which it gets ; but it does not. It has sup-
pressed the almost entire contents of the last two
mails. The Constitutionnel says, with monstrous
effrontery, that the Moniteur of yesterday " laid
the whole truth before the eyes of the public."
Now, the fact is, as I noticed yesterday, that the
Moniteur gives no information whatever as to the
actual state of things before Puebla, but merely
quotes from War-office returns the hundreds of
thousands of cannon-balls and millions of cart-
ridges which have been sent out, and thereupon
concludes that the public ought to be quite easy
in its mind. So far from the Muniteur having told
the whole truth, it has never given the despatches
recording all that tremendous fighting and
slaughter which is to be inferred from the long
list of decorations gazetted yesterday. I have no
wish to exaggerate, aud, although I am sure there
is much bad news kept back, yet I do not think
the state of affairs is so disastrous as the latest
American telegrams represent ; but I believe in the
truth of the following isolated episode of the war
which reaches me from a military source. Although
the government pretends that the latest official
news is dated April 19, it has despatches down to
May 4, inclusively. A whole battalion of the line
had been annihilated in an assault upon a stack of
fortified houses. Two houses, which were mined,
blew up and destroyed the greater part of the as-
sailants, and the remainder were shot down by the
Mexicans from their ambuscades. It is said, but
knowing the unbounded bravery of the French
army, I feel doubts on this point—that when it
was proposed to recommence the attack the next
morning the Zonaves refused to obey their officers.
The Phare de la Loire, a Nantes journal, has
been suspended for two months by M. de Per-
signy on acCP.unt of its articles on the elections.
M. Cochin, the clerical candidate who polled
nearly 7,000 votes in the 6th circumscription of
Paris, retires from the contest, but without saying

APPROACHING VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND
PRINCESS OF WALES TO OXFORD.

Oxford is all astir with preparations for the recep-
tion of the Prince and Princess of Wales on the 16th Jane.
The University authorities, the undergraduates, the town ,
council, and the inhabitants generally are all making the
necessary arrangements, and there is every prospect that the
ancient and loyal city will present a scene of gaiety and exu-
berance unnaralleled since the installation of the Duke of
Wellington, and scarcely inferior to the visit, forty-nine
years ago, of the Prince Regent, the Emperor Alexander, the
King of Prussia, sod other celebrities. State etiquette, as
well as the traditions of the university, prevented the
bestowment of any academical distinction upon his
royal highness while be was in residence, bat the
university authorities have taken the earliest opportunity
of inviting him to pay a visit to his Alma Mater, and re-
ceive from their hands the highest honour it is in their
power to bestow. The proceedings in the Sbeldonian
Theatre, where his royal highness will receive the honorary
degree of D.C.L., are, therefore, being looked forward to
with unusual interest. The Earl of Derby, the Chancellor
of the University, and a numerous and distinguished corn.
pity, are expected to be present. On the following day
(Wednesday), the Encomia; or commemoration of Founders
and Benefactors, will take place in the Theatre, when
his royal highness, accompanied by the Princess of Wales,
will take his place amongst the doctors, and degrees will be
conferred upon several distinguished personages, including
the Duke of Newcastle, the Right lion. Edward Card-
well& M.P., Sir Hugh Cairns, M.P., Sir Stafford North-
cote, M.P., Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald. itc. A grand col-
lation, given by the University, will take place in the
library of All Souls' College, and their royal highnesses
are then expected to proms to the Freemasons Ma in
Worcester College-gardens. The Prince and Princess will
subsequently witness some University aquatica on the
River Isis, being conveyed from Folly Bridge to the
University barge in a new and handsome boat now in
course of construction by Messrs. Salter, the well-known
boat builders of Oxford and Wandsworth. Later in th
ing the royal party will be entertained by the Vice-Chan-
cellor et a grand banquet in Exeter College-hall, and will
honour with their presence a grand ball given by the under-
graduates of Christ Church, of which college the Prince of
Wales is a member. A very distinguished circle will be
' invited to meet their royal highnesses at Exeter College,
including the Duke of Cambridge, the Earl of Derby, Mr.
Gladstone, the Duke of Banclench, and the newly-made
• doctors. The city is already fast filling with visitors, and
the demand for lodgings is greater than has bees known for
twiny years.— Birmingham. Daily Pest.

When Count 'Wielopolaki and Count Branicki
were sr-meted by the Belgian police, they were treated
with great consideration, being merely placed under sur-
veillance in their rooms, and on the following morning the
commivary of police announced to them that they were at
liberty to depart on the sole condition of not having any
other hostile meeting on the Belgian territory. They
readily acceded to the condition, and immediately after
Count Wielopolski and hid 'worlds left for Warsaw, and
Count Branicki for France. .

A letter from Warsaw in an Austrian journal
says :—"Three squadrons of lancers entered the city this
morning, the band playing the air ' Poland is not yet lost.'
Everyone rushed to the doors and windows, thinking that
it must be the insurgents. They were, however, Russians,
and General Lowszyn, the director of the police, had CoL
Almaaon, who commanded the lancers, arrested and brought
before him. rhere the matter was soon cleared up. Neither
the colonel nor his officers knew anything of the words of
the air which the band played. They had never been in
garrison in Poland, and in the interior of Russia, whence
they bad arrived, the tune was one that was played by all
the military bands."
The following letter was lately sent by Victor
Hugo to his brother poet :—" Dear Lsmartine—A great af-
fliction has stricken you. I wish to place my heart near
yours; I reverenced her whom you loved. Your elevated
spirit sees beyond the horizon ; sou perceive distinctly the
life to come. It is not to you that it is necessary to say
' hope.' Yon are of those who know, and who wait ; she is
still your companion, invisible, but present. You have lost
the wife, but not the soul. Dear friend, let us live in the
dead.—Yours, VICTOR HUGO.—llanteville House, May 23."
The Iladikas-el-Akhbar, a weekly journal pub-
lished at Beyrout, is at present giving to its readers, in the
form of a feuilleton, the "Adventures of Telemachus,"
translated into Arabic. .

At Senserthes, in Brittany, on Sunday week (the
first day of the voting), there was a religious file or pardon
in the neighbourhood, and the voting-room was deserted.
The committee decided that is the voters did not go to them
they would go to the voters, and, taking the ballot-box under
their arm, they proceeded to the village where the fire was
taking place, going round the ground ►nd asking the male
adults, "Will you be good enough to vote, S. V. P., and
not keep us waiting all day ?" The Monde vouches for the
truth of this incident.

The French services Maritimes des Messageries
Imperiales have now 48 steamers in the Mediterranean sod
in the Indian and China seas, the horsepower of which is
14,291). Their gross income last year was 1,122,000/.
The New South \Vales government has offered
50,000/. a year, and the New Zealand government has
offered 30,000/. a year, towards an Australian mail commu-
nication yid Panama._ . . . .

There is a weed called the Sida rettwa which
grows wild in unfrequented streets and vacant places at
Brisbane, in Esetern Australia, and was looked upon there
as a pest. This weed has been found to yield a valuable
fibre, and 301. a ton for 3,000 tens have been offered for it
for shipment to England.
BOURBON RECRUITING IN ALBANIA.—" A good
deal has been said lately," observe* the Prase, "of clan-
destine recruiting in Albania for the es-King Francis 11.
Letters from Ragusa confirm all that has been said, and
even given unexpected proportions to these facts. Several
Bourbon emissaries have been seen traversing the country.
Groups, which our letters call bands have shown themselves
on various park of the coast. But we have reasons for be.
Bering that the Turkish government has taken energetic
measures against the recruiting. and that Italian steamers
are carefully watching all the Albanian comet."
FOREIGN-OFFICE, JUNE I.—The Queen has been
graciously pleased to appoint Percy Mitford, Esq., now
Attache to bar Majesty's Legation at Brussels, to be •
third secretary in her Majesty's diplomatic service.
