The Bavarian Chamber of Deputies is dis-
cussing the address in reply to the speech from
the throne. On Saturday the Chamber agreed
to a paragraph recommending the institution
not only of a central parliament, but also
of another executive power than the Diet
of Frankfort. This movement on the part of a na-
tion friendly to Austria is the more noticeable at
the present moment when the Duke Ernest of
Coburg, the patron of the National Verein, is sepa-
rating himself from Prussia, and is forming, or has
' already formed, an alliance with the court of
Vienna.

The suite consisted of the Viscountess Jocelyn, the Hoe.

RUSSIAN ATROCITIES AT WILNA.

The C.:ad, of the let, makes known some new
atrocities on the part of Russia. In the streets of
\Vilna some women, whose mourning garments
had been brutally torn from them by the soldiers
of Mouravieff, were defended by the crowd. The
troops then charged the people with the bayonet,
and 40 persons wore killed. Some women guilty
of wearing mourning received as many as a
hundred strokes of the knout, and were left in-
sensible,
weltering in blood. Others are huddled
together in the dungeons of the citadel. Several
have died from terror and ill-treatment. Some
have been found suffocated in their narrow cells ;
among them Madlle. Marie Lapaswk, a member of
lan illustrious family in the district of Lida. The
prisoners, whose number increases every day, have
only two pounds of bread and a litre of water per
day.

PRUSSIA.
DISTURBANCES AT BERLIN.

The Paris Prase of to-day says :—" Some dis-
orders have occurred at Berlin. Even barricades
have been erected. We should add that if these
disorders have no political character, they neverthe-
less reveal a state of excitement in the public mind
which is calculated to produce profound reflection
in the government. We see by them how
thoroughly the ground is prepared for an ex-
plosion. Happily for liberty itself, which
profits neither by street agitations nor by arbitrary
excesses, the great Association which is being
constituted will cause a diversion. This Association,
which has for its chief programme the maintenance
of the liberty of the press, is extending its sphere,
and several new cities have joined it."

The Archbishop of York, the Earl of St. Germans, and
Viscount Sydney were present at the service.
The Prince and Princess of Wales gave a dinner for her

Lion of the unabated interest which her Majesty takes in
the society, and everything connected with it. The
viaits of the Royal family to the garden during the part
month have been frequent.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(MX 0011 OWN C01111161.0NDZICT.)

PARIS, BUNEIXY EVENING.

- -
The explanation of the Roebuck imbroglio, given
by the Moniteur, calls forth the following important
observation from La France :
The 'tote in the Moniteur does not confine itself to the ex-
planation of a misuoderstandiog. It discloses an idea which
is now for the first time formally expressed in the official
journal, viz., that if the pacific proposalsof France were
now to be revived their direct object would be the recogni-
tion of the South. Six months ego that recognition was
only presented u an eventual result of mediation ; but now
in the view of the French government it is not the cessation
of hostilities which would lead to the recognition of the
South, but the recognition of the South which would, in all
probability, lead to the cessation of hostilities.
The Opinion Nationale, a partisan of the North,
reads the Maniteur in the same way as the France.
It says :—" A grave fact results from this affair,
viz., that the French government by this new step
has placed itself in antagonism with the cabinet of
Washington."
All the French papers seem to have had a mot
d'ordre to represent that the bloody revolution in
Madagascar was prompted by England out of
jealousy of French influence. The Pays says that
Mr. Ellis, an English missionary, "assisted" at
the strangulation of King Radama and his minis-
ters. As if this story did not shock probability
sufficiently, the France adds that this Mr. Ellis
was himself assisted in the work by "his niece, a
young person of great beauty," who was a friend
of the wife of Renovolliivy, the chief of the con-
spirators. A price is said to be set upon the head
of M. Lambert. M. Laborde, jun., son of the
French consul, is reported to have been murdered.
M. Laborde had struck his flag, and Mr. Paken-
ham, the English consul, had takeir refuge at M.
Laborde's country house.
The Temps says that after M. Drouyn de Lhuys'
interview with the Emperor at Fontainebleau yes-
terday a cabinet courier was despatched to St.
Petersburg.
The news of a " military revolution in Athens,"
given by the Discusione of Turin, is not credited.
The Emperor, in his character of " eldest son of
the church," mike as a canon of the church of St.
John Lateran at Rome. By way of showing his
feeling of confraternity for his venerable colleagues,
he has lately made them a grant of 24,000 f r. a
year to be divided amongst them. The canons have
addressed a letter of thanks in Latin to their "im-
perial colleague." As they get 1,000/. a year, it
cannot be said in this case, qu'ils perdent fear Latin,

SAVOY.

OWN AN OCCASIONALCORRESPONDENTj

AIY•EN•SAVOIE, JusE24.

I have been endeavouring to ascertain the change
made iu the condition of the Savoyards by the
annexation of their country to France. The general I
sense ofthe people does not seem to be very inimical
to the result. They grumble a little, but any show
of sympathy only brings out the assurance that it
was their own choice ; nobody could have forced
them against their will. The position of an invo-
luntary subject of the empire is one which Savoy
is too proud to accept. On the whole, the differ-
ence made by the annexation is not very important.
The taxation is raised considerably—a new tax on
doors and windows being imposed, and the old tax
on wine being raised insomuch that the quantity of
vie du pays formerly sold for 50 centimes (half a
franc) now costs sixty centimes. This and a similar
rise in the price of brandy the people resent a
good deal—and with some reason, for their local
wines are extremely pure and wholesome. The
terms of conscription in the French army are, how-
ever, some compensation to the Savoyards for their
increased taxation, for they like them much better
than those of the conscription of Italy. The
Italians are obliged to remain with their regiments
for five years, and then for six years more to be
"dans leur foyer," at call for military service if
required. The French are required to give eight
years of full service with their regiments, and after-
wards are absolutely free. This latter arrangement
seems best in all ways, as a man living at home
under constant chance of being summoned to rejoin
the army can hardly undertake any employment
with hope of success. Another thing which re-
conciles the Savoyards to their junction with France
appears to be the natural sympathies of the races.
They are far more French in their patois than
Italian, and it is said that no Savoyard and Italian
ever intermarry, while there are abundance of
intermarriages between the French and Savoyards.
Among the curious detail! of Imperial meddling
is a law making it penal for a medical prescriptiou
to be given or made up except in French. It would
be interesting to ascertain the results on the health
of the community of this transition from Faith to
Knowledge.
The country, in an agricultural point of view, is
almost as splendid as iu a picturesque one.
Fields of wheat, rye, barley, hay, beans, and colza
plants are crowded without hedge or fence for miles
together, all displaying very fair farming, while
among them all the mulberries and elm-stakes are
laden with vines, which trail in garlands like those
of Tuscany. One is reminded of the pretty anecdote
of the Orleauist princess who, going to pay a visit
a few years ago to her uncle, the Grand Duke of
Lucca, imagined that the lovely country she beheld
must needs have been adorned, especially with all
its flowers and garlands, in honour of her arrival,
and formally thanked the gracious sovereign who
had provided for her so princely a welcome. Beside
the corn and vines, and luxurious acacias and
poplars, the country is rich with chestnuts and
walnut trees lining the roads for miles together,
and only permitting at intervals glimpses of the
glorious snow-clothed Mont Cents or lovely lake of
Bourget. Much of this good farming is done on
the Metairie system, which certainly here works
well enough. The leases seldom exceed ten years
iu length, and when the landlord considers
his tenant to be an indifferent farmer, it is
quite a usual matter for Lim to make a
change at the end of a lease—a transaction
not regarded with any such animosity as
follows similar changes in our country. A gentle-
man particularly well informed of the condition
of the agricultural classes, affirms that he has
never in his life known an instance of a landlord
being injured maliciously by a Savoyard tenant.
In truth their simple, courteous behaviour, and
cheerful looks, impress a traveller very strongly on
their behalf. Let us hope their good qualities will
suffer no deterioration from their amalgamation
with the French nation.

The France says an imperial decree will shortly
appear organising the fortified pinata of France upon a new
basis. _

The annual contest of archers from all parte of
England, Ireland, and Scotland, which during the lut nine-
teen years has taken place in York, Derby, Edinburgh,
Leamington, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham, Exeter, Bath, Liver-
pool, and Worcester, commenced in Oxford on Wednesday
last, and did not terminate till Friday evening. There were
155 competitors-55 ladies and 100 gentlemen.
Yesterday the general collection of Peter's Pence
was made in all the Roman catholic churches of the Dublin
diocese. A pastoral from Archbishop Cullen calls on the
people to show the sincerity of their attachment to the Pope
by assisting him in his time of need and persecution.
" Would it not," be sake, " be most ungrateful to let him
pine away in want, or to let him become the prey of his
enemies!" There is an association for raising sopplies in
aid of the Pope, called " The Association of St. Peter's
Pence," and this association makes the arrangements for the
collections.
