PARIS, TUESDAY ETININO.
The Monitner gives tho following account of the
official recognition of the Empire by her Britannic
Majesty
The Emperor has received at the Tuileries from his ex-
cellency Lord Cowley the letters from her Majesty the
Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, confirming
him as ambassador extraordinary and pleeipoten-
tiary to his Imperial Majesty. Lord Cowley and
the members of the legation were conveyed to the
audience of his Majesty in carriages of the court,
and presented by Cuunt Bactiochi, master of the cere-
monies and introducer of ambassadors, assEted by M.
Feedlot de Coaches, degnty•maater of the ceremonies.
After the audience, his Excellency was taken back to his
hotel with the same ceremonial.

The Journal de rEmpire evinces its great satin-
faction at the prompt recognition of tho empire by
the Queen of England in the following terms:
The establishment of the empire in Franco, sanctioned at
home by the vote of the nation, is accepted abroad with
synipatMni just as marked. The Marquis d'Antonini,
minister of the King of the Two Sieilsos, on the 3rd
presented to his Imperial Majesty his new credentials,
assuming by that solemn preseeding an initiative which
everything concurs in rendering important. Yester-
day Lord Cowley presented his letters of credence, and
we know that all the communications of his wart with
our government, relative to the great act which has
just been accomplished, have bone the imprint of •
character which promises the maintenance and consolida-
tion of the mat friendly relations between the two cabinets.
His Imperial Majesty will receive this day from the Mi-
nister of Belgium the same ansarenea of the earroises
red coeßdence of the Court of Brussels. The adversaries
of the new government which Freese bee given her-
sell, did not perhaps expect so prompt a recognition of the
heir of Napoleon by the Queen of the great coutry which
combatted to the last daj against the founder of his race,
by a sovereign of the elder branch of the Bourbons, Red
by • prince so narrowly connected with the house of
Orleans. But events must remove that illusion, and
show them all thtir weakness in view of these marked
adhesions to the will of Francs. We had no doubt,
indeed, of the sentiments of the rest of Europe, but
the AM testimonies which the Emperor receives ought to
he so mush the more precious to him that they will fortify
in him the hope of acoomplishing the highest object of his
policy, the anion of all Frenchmen round the new throne,
which, in spite of the reminiscences and the affections of
the past, three governments, so different as those of the
Two !Nellie', England, and Belgium do not an instant
hesitate to mogul*.
It is expected that the Senate will sit every day
this week to settle the new form of the constitution :
We read in the Conalitutiotsnel:

It is known that the constitution limits to 80, for the firs g
year, the comber of the members of the senate bcycpid
those who are senators by right, such as the carcli.Jak
end the Manhole of krance. M. de Tarsi* was by the date
of his nomination the Blst, and be has not been able until
' this time to take his seat; but the elevation of Cilen•Arals de
Saint•Areitad, Merman, and de Castedane to the dignity
of marshals hes rendered three seats vacant, verlieh may
now be occupied by MM. de Tarim', Abb stuoti, and
Carrelet.

The lefoniteur denies that France has anything to
do with the project of altering the Spanish consti-
tution.

An sninesty is granted to deserters from the
army.
Lord Brougham arrived at Karmenles on Friday
evening on his way to Cann,,a, He slept at the
Hotel de rOtient, and was to start next morning for
Aix.

The Gazette du Midi ears that the vivacity of the
ex-chancellor's conversatifm greatly interested his
travelling companions on the railway.
The Bourse was soriewhat better to-clay. The
Three per Cents. imprired a little, and the Four•snd
a-half per Cents. only fell a quarter per cent. Most
of the railways recovered partly from the hoary fall
of yesterday. But the shares of the Societe Mobi-
here again fell, and closed 100 fr. lower.
