PARIS, Sarinwar Bynum.
Prince Napoleon was to leave Paris this evening
ler Corsica, to preside at the long talked-of inaugu-
ration of the monument to Napoleon I. and his
three brothers. The Prince is accompanied by his
military household, M. Violet-Leduc? the architect,
a member of the monument committee, and M.
Rubaine, his private secretary. He is to embark
at Marseilles to-morrow on board the yacht Jerome
Napoleon. The fetes at Ajaccio are expected to
surpass anything of the kind ever seen in the
It is again said by the government printa that the
Emperor may "perhaps" visit Ajaccos, to look at
the monument on his way from Algeria.
News from the city of Mexico has arrived
to April 11. The day before, April 10, was
the anniversary of Maximilian 's accession to the
throne, and Ins Majesty resolved to celebrate the
occasion by a series of " grand measures," contained
in three supplements to the Diario del Imperio. At
the bead of these is • kind of constitution, denoud-
natal " the Provisional Statute of the Mexican
Empire." This is described by a correspondent of
a French government journal as " a work due to
the initiative of the sovereign, the fruit of long
meditation, and exhaustive discussion in his high
counsels—a work which puts an end to the trausi-
tion suite in which the country was and one which,
there is every reason to hope, wile not only be re-
seived with acclamation by theentire Mexican nation,
but will also meet with unanimous approbation in
foreign countries." Moreover, we are told that the
fundamental idea of the statute is " highly liberal,"
and that in it the "great principles of modern so-
eieties are developed with equal clearness and sim-
plicity." The title "provisional," which at first
sight might seem scarcely appropriate to a charter
deemed worthy of such high eulogy, is said to be
giteu only because the Emperor has ordered all the
author.ties " to submit to him within a year
sneh obeervatioos as experience may suggest to ,
them, and in pursuance of which the statute
imay oe " modified according to circumstances."
In. "harmony with the bases" of the statute
several decrees and regulations have appeared, "all ,
tending to the reorganisation of the public adininit-
intim in its different branches." More are in
course of preparation, d the whole series,'
when promulgated, " anwill form tbe first
basis of our o 'c laws." After these gene-
ralities, expressed in the familiar French jargon of
1852, the correspondence specifies one and one
only among the "grand measures" decreed, namely,
thii creation of 4 the feminine order of San Carlos,
destined to reward the virtues of women." Among
the "measures of another order" which the writer
seems to contradistingnish from great or grand
measures are the creation of an academy of sciences
and literature, the establishment of • "junta of
protection" for the neoeesitous classes, the founda-
tion of • house of charity, an imperial rescript on
the institution of a conned of biettfaisanee, another
concerning new telegraphic lines, the law on the
liberty of the press, on amnesty in favour of va-
rious categories of condemned persons, many other
pardons, and, finally, a list of promotions on the
occasion of the anniversary of the acceptance of the
throne. A new customs tariff is announced, which
does not 1100111 to be very.liberal, for it is said that
"'certain articles of primary necessity are to be
admitted free, but that new duties are imposed
nn others not indispensable to existence."
It has been hitherto thought that the first step
to the negotiations between Rome and Italy in
which Signor Vegerzi bas played a principal part
was taken by the Pope. Bat now the New Free Press
of Vienna, professing to speak from certain know-
ledge, says the initiative came from Turin and not
from the Vatican.

ether amenities concerning the editor of the Europe
of Frankfort, said that be (Grandguillot) knew
better than anybody else what were M. Ganeeco's
antecedents, what his present position, and what
his probable future. M. Grandguillot now refuses
to insert his letter, and says that if he thinks him-
self libelled he may apply to a court of law.
The rumour of a strike among the cab-drivers
seems to have bad its rise from the fact that owing
to the blacksmiths having struck it was difficult to
get horses shod. The service of the cabs and
omnibuses must have come to a stand-still if the
government had not provisionally placed a number
of army horse-shears at the disposal of the carriage
company.
