FRANCE.

A message and decree have been presented to the
Senate, naming the Empress Regent, if the Emperor
has not otherwise determined by public or secret. act.
A Privy Council is established, which will become,
with two French Princes, a Council of Regency.
The following are members :—Cardinal Morlot, Duke
Malakoff, MM. Fould, Troplong, Morny, Baroche,
and Peisigny. The Emperor has also appointed
Prince Jerome Napoleon a member of the Privy
Council.

The Princes Albert, Adalbert, awl Frederic Charles
of Prussia, and Prince Lichtenstein of Austria, nre at
present on a visit to the Emperor, to convey to him
the congratulations of their respective Courts at his
Majesty's recent escape. On Wednesday the Em-
peror reviewed the Imperial Guard in the presence
of the Empress and his illustrious guests. The
enthusiasm of the troops was particularly marked.

The preparations for the trial of the conspirators
are proceeding.

The new projet de loi to provide for the public
safety consists of cert Lin additions to several of the
articles of the Penal Code.

Article 2 punishes

with imprisonment of from one month to two years every
individual who, with the object of disturbing the public
peace, or of exciting haired and contempt against the Go-
vernment of the E m peror, shall have practised any intrigues
or curie i on any correspondence either within this couutry
or abroad.

Article 3 punishes the sale of murderous engines
without a proper authorisation.

Article 7 declares as follows :
Any individual may be interne in France or Algeria, or
expelled, who was condemned, expelled, interne, or trans-
ported in May or June, Igt4B, in June, 1849, or in Decem-
ber, 1 il, and who may again have been pointed ont by
important circumstances as dangerous to the public safety.
This last clause, says a letter from Paris, has
created great, though unfounded, alarm among the
operative classes of the Faubuurgs St. Antoine and
St. Marceau :

There is hardly a man among them who has not taken
part in the insurrection of Jane and the revolution of
February, 1/i4,4, and they imagine that the new law, by its
retrospective operation, will annul the effect of the am•
nesties granted at different intervals to shield them from
the results of their participation in the civil struggles of
the period of anarchy which preceded the Emperor's
accession to the throne. His Majesty is, however, deter
mined not to sanction any abuse of power which a loose
interpretation of that very elastic measure might give rise
to, and unless the oavriers lend an ear to the suggestions
of the demagogues and secret societies, ever at work to
recruit an in-tit-remit-may a-my, they may rest assured
that the past will continue forgotten and forgiven.
DENMARK AND HOLSTEIN. gi
The accounts from Copenhagen state that the
very animated discussions, which lasted through
two day, terminated by the rejection of the Hol-
stein proposals by 41 votes against 6.
The President declared that the acceptance of
these proposals would be equivalent to the annihila-
tion of the Great Charter, and that Denmark ought
the less readily to consent to such a measure as her
position was not an isolated one.

The Prince and Princess Frederick William of
Prussia received addresses of congratulation on
Saturday, at Buckingham Palace, from the Corpora.
tion of the City of London, the Commissioners of
Lieutenancy for the City of London, and from the
Fishmongers' Company.
Their Royal Hignesses the Prince and Princess
Frederick William of Prussia took leave of her
Majesty on Tuesday, en route to Berlin.
Her Majesty has honoured the Haymarket and
Princess's Theatres with her presence this week.
Her Majesty will hold two levees during the
present month ; and the Court will subsequently re-
move, about the '2nd or '23rd instant, to o.iborne.
The Queen will pass the Easter recess at Windsor
Castle.

The Earl of Derby entertained at dinner, on Wed-
nesday, at his mansion in St. James's•square, the
Duke of Montrose, the Duke of Rutland, the Marquis
of Salisbury, the Marquis of Exeter, the Marquis of
Downshire, the Earl of Carnarvon, the Earl of Sand

the presence of a brilliant circle of friends.

and accordingly Mr. William Aston has given a large
blue morocco case, lined with white satin, containing
upwards of a dozen complete sets of those useful
articles, including, among others, buttons for a
lady's dress in gold and silver, mosaic, carved pearl,
bloodstone, white cornelian, and fancy velvet and
silk, in the shape of acorns, thistles, forget-me-nots,
and many other ingenious devices. There is also a
splendid papier-mache enamelled writing-desk, with
the letters "V. F." in enamelled brilliants in the
centre encircled by olive wreaths in emeralds, united
by a true lovers' knot; sent by Messrs. Jennens and
Bettridge. Many other specimens of the native
manufactures were contributed by, among others,
Messrs. Hinks, Wells and Co., Cadbury, Brothers,
Mr. Charles Rowley, Messrs. Myers, Messrs. Mills
and Wilkes, and Messrs. Salt.
Deputations also from the Staffordshire Potteries,
consisting of Mr. John Ridgway (the Mayor of
Hanley), Mr. Alderman Wedgewood, and Mr.
Thomas Battam, and from the corporation of
Worcester, composed of the Mayor and Messrs. Kerr
and Binns, had also the hononr of waiting upon the
Prince and Princess, and of presenting gifts. Those
from the Potteries consisted of a dejefiner service,
executed in raised gold and white porcelain, with a
monogram of the Prince and Princess, and a repre-
sentation of the Prussian crown mounted in a very
splendid case lined with velvet, and two busts ih
ceramic statuary, one of the Queen from the marble
of Joseph Durham, and the other of the Prince
Consort from the marble of Baron Marochetti, life-
size. The donation from Worcester was a bridal
plateau, containing a series of illustrations from
Raphael's designs of the " Marriage of Cupid and
Psyche," executed in monochrome of a sepia tint
upon a gold ground. The Prince and Princess
expressed the gratification with which they accepted
these fine specimens of art, and especially admired
the beauty of the ceramic statuary.
A great number of the presents to the Princess
Royal having been previously packed up and sent
to Berlin could not be exhibited to the visitors ad-
mitted to Buckingham Palace. Among these were
magnificent presents from the Countess of Fife and
others, and articles of their own work sent by every
lady of the royal household, and by many personal
friends and acquaintances of the Princess.

DEPARTURE or Tax PRINCE AND PRINCESS

FREDERICK WILLIAM OF PRUSSIA.
ON Tuesday our late Princess Royal, accompanied
by her husband, left the land of her birth amidst the
cheers and blessings of thousand; who thronged the
route. It had wisely been det-rmined to give the
populace of London an ample opportunity of obtain.
ing a parting glance at the eldest daughter of their
Queen ; and for this purpose it was arranged that
the procession should pass through the centre of the
metropolis.
A quarter to twelve was the time fixed for leaving
Buckingham Palace. Long before that time great
numbers of pert,ons assembled in St. James's-park;
though, in consequence of its being universally

known that the route would be through some of the
principal streets of the metropolis, the crowd in the
park was by no means inconveniently large. A
line was formed by the police about eleven o'clo-k,
and shortly after a detachment of Life Guards and
of Household Troops drew up on the esplanade in
front of the Palace ; the band of the latter playing
" Home, sweet home." _

At ten minutes to twelve the royal cortege made
its appearance through the gateway of the Palace.
First came a detachment of the Life Guards ; then
en open carriage and four containing the Prince and
Princess Frederick William, the Prince Consort, and
the Prince of Wales ; a second carriage in which
rode the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Alfred ; and
four other carriages conveying the ladies and gentle-
men in attendance on the Royal party. A detach-
ment of the Life Guards brought up the rear. It
would be presumptuous to speculate on the scene
which had passed in the Palace, but it was evident
from her Royal Highness's countenance that the trial
of parting had been to her a severe one, and it was
some little time before she could sufficiently subdue
her emotion to acknowledge the cheers with which
she was received. This touch of nature gained her
many a blessing as she drove along. Her Majesty
and the Royal children came out en the balcony and
watched the procession as long as it continued in
sight. The snow had already begun to fall, and it
came down faster and faster as the Royal party
moved at a gentle trot along the Mall, by Stafford-
house, down Cleveland-row, and Pal-mall. So far
the crowd was not very thick ; but from the corner
of Trafalgar-square to the lit icklayer's Arms station
two dense lines of people thronged the route. The
houses, too, on each side, gaily decorated with
hundreds of flags, were filled with eager gagers. As
the procession reached abreast of the National
Gallery an enthusiastio cheer burst from
the crowd,
and rolled up along the extended line without jot"'
