PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
Mehemet Bey, the sew Turkish Ambassador, was
%waived in state at the Tuileries to-day, to present
hie credentials to the Emperor. On leaving the
Tuileries the Ambassador and his suite went to the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs to pay a visit to Count
Walewaki.

A Turin letter in the Cowatitutionnel says that the
recruiting for the Aoglc•ltalian Legion is not going
on well, and that in all probability the complement
of officers required will not be obtained, owing to
strong objections being entertained by Italians to the
nature of the oath required from them. They are
called upon to swear to serve her Majesty the
Queen of England " against all her enemies,"
and that for an indefinite period of time—
" until the conclusion of the present war."
Every officer would of course make the reserve that
he should not be required to bear arms against his
country, but there are many who would desire to be
freed from their engagements if ever Italy should be
in a position to make war on her own account, and
should claim their services. These difficulties have,
it appears, deterred many brave officers from joining
the Legion. One case in particular is mentioned as
within the writer's own knowledge, of an officer of
koown merit whoprefers continuing to eat the bread of
exile to the acceptance of the important post of head of
the staff,under the conditions imposed upon the Legion.
The same letter states that diplomatic influence has
been at work, and has obtained from the English
government that no "refractory Lombards," a class
from whom numerous enthusiastic recruits were ex-
pected, shall be received in the Legion.
I am informed that M. Kisseleff, the late Russian
Ambassador, is now in Paris incog., having come by
permission on private business. Two of his daughters
are at school here.

Gen. Hondaye, commander of the artillery of the
army of Lyons, expired in that oity on Wednesday,
after a short illness.

The American vessel Lady Suffolk left Hai.*
yesterday for the Crimea with stores on board, con-
sisting of compressed hay, biscuit, sugar, and coffce,
in all 1,997 tons.

The entire interest of the Bourse to-day was Con-
centrated upon two securities—the Credit Mobilier

and the new Hackney Carriage Company's shares.
In these an enormous business was done. The first
rose 67fr. 60c., and the latter 20fr. The Rente fell
30c., closing at &Ur. 60e. Railways were quite
neglected, and there was very little change in quc

Eleven members of a branch society of the Ma-
rianne were tried and convicted on Wednesday by
the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Paris. These
men were originally indicted before the Court of
Came, but the only specific offence alleged against
them being the newly-created one of " belonging to
• secret society," it was thought safer, to ensure
a conviction, to remove the cue to the motet
polls. Henri Chabanne, alias Combattant, a
working cooper, the leader of this band, wee arrested
in Paris several months ago, and was lately sentenced
to four years' imprisonment, as a member of the
central society. At the time of his arrest, papers
were found upon him, proving that he had affiliated
several farmers, wine growers, and coopers of Posilly,
Loges, Chareaton, and other communes in the de-
partment of the Nidvre, where in January and Feb-
ruary last there were rather some serious disorders.
An "instruction," which has been going on for a
long time, resulted in bringing to the bar ten of
Chabanne's country accomplices. They are most
of them small proprietors. It appeared in evi-
dence, that he promised his disciples (and this is the
only definite promise he appears to have made to
them) a popular government composed of 300 work-
men. He was sentenced, as the founder of the branch
society, to four years' imprisonment, but not in addi-
tion to the sentence which he is now undergoing.
Seven of the others were sentenced to thrce
years' imprisonment one to one year's, and the two
remaining (who were recommended to mercy by the
public prosecutor, because they had confessed), to
three months' imprisonment only.
Apprehensions are entertained of outbreaks similar
to those at Angers in other parts of the country. It
is certain that the secret societies are very active, and
that insurrections on several points have been planned,
but the leaders probably overrate their influence and
means of action ; and the parties entrusted with the
execution of the plans formed will doubtless shrink
from their task in many instances. There was a scheme
afoot for the renewal in Paris of Bubee exploit of
May 12, 1849, but the thing got wind and came to
nothing.
There wes some commotion in Meneilles a few
days since on the occasion of the interment of M.
Astonio, the pone fair, who was not only a ticket
porter, but a poet, and a member of the Constituent
Assembly of 1848. His body was followed to the
cemetery by a vast concourse of persons. M.
Barthelemy, the ex-representative, attempted to
make a speech over the grave, but was prevented by
the police. A great row ensued, and several arrests
were made.
