The Express.
London, England, 1846-10-14 00:00:00

EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Our foreign express, which should have reached
town this morning, having been delayed, we presume,
by the state of the weather, has only just arrived
with letters and papers, to the evening of the 12th
instant. From them we learn that a telegraphic
dispatch was received by the French government on
Monday, announcing that the marriages of the Queen
to Don Francisco de Asis, and of the Infanta to the
Duke de Montpensier, were solemnised on the even-
ing of the 10th. A grand mass was performed on
the morning of the 11th.
Letters from Valencia, of the 3rd inst., mention the
arrival of two English vessels, eating they were
there to protect the English subjects. The Captain-
General gave them such assurances of the safety of
all British and other residents, that it was said the
vessels would at once set out for the Mediterranean.

Mr. Rowland Hill, the author of the Great Postal
Reform, is in Paris. He was present on Sunday at
the monthly meeting of the Economist's Society. The
Free-Trade Association, now in Course of organization
in France, will not proceed without opposition. Free-
Trade Associations are also formed at Rouen and
Lille, and several other commercial towns will cer-
tainly follow the example with more or leas support
from the government.

The advises from Geneva are to the 10th instant
when tranquillity appears to have been completely
restored. There were no apprehensions of further
disturbance, and business had been resumed. The
people had met in general council, and unanimously
agreed to the following decree:—
. . . .

" The Grand Council is dissolved. The resignation of the li
Council of State is accepted. A provisional government,
composed of 10 members, shall be immediately elected by
the General Council. Anew Grand Council is convoked for
the 25th instant. The number of deputies is reduced by one
half. The electoral college of arrondissement are reduced
to three—viz., one for the city, one for the communes of the
left bank of the Lake and of the Rhone ; and one for those of
the right bank. The constituent power is conferred on this'
Grand Council to prepare a revision of the constitution, to
be submitted to the votes of the people. The paid guard
shall be disbanded. All the damage done in the affairs of
the 7th shall be charged to the Council of State which has
resigned, and the officer who commanded in chief the armed
force of the Government."
The people nest proceeded to elect a provisional
government, when James Fazy, Louis Rilliett, Leo-
nard Gentin, Bordier, Francois Janin, Balthasar
Dee*, eastoldi, Pons, Monlinie, and Fontanel, were
unanimously chosen. The provisional government
lent issued the following proclamation :
" Fellow citizens,—ln the midst of the most difficult cir-
cumstances, we accept, from devotedness to our country, the
task of assuming provisionally the views of government.
With the co-operation of all the citizens, we can accom.

BER NE, Ocr. B.—The attention of all Switzerland
is called to the revolution at Geneva. If the Liberals
triumph, another vote is gained in favour of the dissolution
of the League of the seven Catholic cantons, sad only half a
vote will be wanting to make the legal majority at the diet ;
as regards an effective majority, more than these-fourths
of the population of Switzerland are as much op-
posed to the league of the seven canton, as to
the introduction of the Jesuits. M. James Fazy,
who is at the head of the revolution, is the same,
who as editor of the journal Le Mouvement, signed
the protest of the journalists at the time of the three days of
July. He is a person of high talents, and who has sacrificed
hie fortune to maintain the liberty of the press. The
liberals had hoped that Colonel Rollict. Constant of
the federal army, would have placed himself at their
head, but it was not the case. The government was well
aware that a crisis was at hand, and had taken great pre-
cautions. Up to the present, Berne has been the usual resi-
dence of the foreign power, with the exception of those of
Sardinia, and the papal see, who reside at Lucerne. It
seems that it has been decided that Zurich is in future to be
chosen as the residence of the different representatives.
The reason of this change is said to be the peculiar political
tendency of the party now in power at Berne.
