Intelligence has arrived to-day, by telegraph,
announcing the escape of the Pope from Rome,
and his probable embarkation for France. The
following is textually the telcgraphio despatch
Cirita Vecchia, 26th November, 3 }Lim—The Consul
of France to the Minis'er of Foreign Affairs.—The
Pope secretly quitted Rome on the 24tb, at five
o'clock in the afternoon. Rome was tranquil and

Nothing of interest has occurred in the Assembly
to-day, except the communicat on of the above tele-
granhic deep itch by General Cavaignac.
M. Trouve Chauvel h^d just commenced hie finan-
cial statement, and Will epeaking, when our reporter
closed his despatches.
The news of the elections for the vacant seats in
the chamber, which were circulated yesterday, are
contradicted in some important particulars to-day. M.
Napoleon Bertrand and General Pyat, who were re-
ported to have sirceeded, have failed.
It is evident that the chances of Gen. Cavaignac's
success are much increased, and his partisans
are highly elated. They affirm now that no candi-
date will obtain an absolute majority, and that the
election will rest with the Chamber. If this
occurs, and it is very probable, General Cavaignae will
certainly be nominated.
The monthly nomination of the presidents and
secretaries of the bureaus, which took place to-day,
are generally favourable to General Cavaignac.
Letters from Picardy announce that l'rince Louis
Imes ground.
M. de Lamartine has addressed the following letter
to the journals :
It is impossible to reply pemonally to all the lettere in-
quiring of me if I accept the candidature i f the Presidency
of the Republic. Will you allow me space in your journal
to communicre my answer to the country i It is this: Ido
not canvass for votes ; I do not desire them ; but thc Re-
public may yet have difficulties and dangers to par through.
Asaumption in soliciting is as far removed from weakners
in refiring ea is devotion 'o one's country horn ambition.
This dtvotion vuoptla me not to withdraw my name from
the free choice of the country. I accept, then, the suffrages
wbich .hall be given me. —L Iva Parr, Nov. 30.
The Gazette de France has been seized for an
article on the legitimist reunion of the Club Daphot,
which adopts the candidature of l'rince Louis
Napoleon. This is the fifth process against this
journal since the 23rd June.
No news had been received to-day, at two o'clock,
of M. Prudhon, who left yesterday evening by
railway. It is supposed that a meeting has taken
place between him and M. Felix Pyat, but the result
is not known.

The 3forriteur publishes the returns of the produce

looien, and upon foreign sugars, have been reduced by
upwards of 1,500,000 f.
