LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
Our Paris despatches of yesterday to noon have ar-
rived, The chambers met as usual on Monday. In
the peers, the address was adopted, so far as related to
the paragraphs on Algiers and La Plata. Some con-
Tenation took Once relative to the promise made
in Abd-el-Jiader, in the course of which M. Guisot
&dared " that the king's government would know
bow to reconcile what was due to the honour
if an engagement entered into with a vanquished,
enemy, with what the interests and security of the
country demanded." The discussion on the rides
banquets was adjourned.—ln the Deputies, the address
was read ; and M. 0. Barrot gave notice that he should
demand, at the earliest opportunity, explanations
from the government relative to the sale and purchase
of government places, as brought to light by the affair
Petit. It was decided that the matter should be
brought forward on the same day that the report on'.
M. Richond des Brus's election was presented, which
is expected to be on Thursday.
The Journal de 'lades says :—" For some days
pan it has been reported that in the event of Abd-el-
er's being detained in France, he will not be
placed at Bourges, as was first talked of, but at Ville-
dieu, in our department. The chateau of M. Mama
will, it is said, be taken for this purpose by the state,
and prepared for the reception of the ex-Emir."
The Consrrartise, a ministerial journal, announces
that the Duke de Montpensier has lately purchased a
At:Undid palace at Madrid, as the future residence of
himself and the Infanta Duchess. Artiste have al-
ready left Paris for Madrid to complete its internal
decorations with extraordinary magnificence.
The Baron do Bussieres, peer of France, has been
appointed ambassador at Naples. The repugnance
evinced by. the Emperor Nicholas to send an amber
seder plenipotentiary to the court of Louis Philipps
Ms decided M. Otuzot against sending, as was con-
templated, the Marquis of Dalmatia (son of Marshal
&alp as ambassador to St. Petersburg. The diplo-
matic business at that capital will continue, as hi-
therto, to be transacted by a chargé d'affaires, the no-
minal ambassador, M. de Barante, residing at Paris.
The Comte de Rougaeval, at present charge d'affaires
at St. Petersburg, will succeed M. Piscatory at Athena,
and will be succeeded by M. Sulleroth at St. Peters-
buWte Nourelliste Vaudois says : "We have only just
learnt that an envoy extraordinary of M. Ouizot, the
Count Pastrella, or de Mallard, for ho takes both
names, arrived on the 24th of November at Sian
with despatches from tne French ministry ; he
then went to Brigue, where he got the repre-
sentatives of the Sonderbund who were at Brigs*
at the time to sign a demand for intervention. He
brought to Sion a letter from Siegwart Muller, ad-
dressed to the council of state of the Valais, by which
the chiefs of the Sonderband applied for authority to
establish their head-quarters in the territory of the
Valais, and promised, that if the canton could hold out
four or five days, there should be an armed intervention
is favour of the Sonderbund. The council of state
rejected these overtures, in order that it might not
expose the canton to the chance of a ruinous war."

Letters from Rome announce that M. Aonici has
been appointed minister of the interior ; and, the
Bianca says, Cardinal Antonelli, minister of fo-
reign affairs and president of tho council of ministers.
Our private letters, however, assure us that the de-
partment of foreign affairs is reserved for Cardinal
Oizzi. M. Sbarretti will, it is said, be the secretary
of the council of ministers, and M. Pantini vice-
president of the council of state.

Since the foregoing was in type our express has
arrived, with accounts from Paris to late last evening.
Advices from Milan are voted by the Prussian
'Universal Gazette of the 16th met., which say that
the events which took place at that capital from the
4th to the 7th inst. were of a very grave nature.
"The soldiers," say these letters, " being insulted in
the streets, had recourse to their side arms, and many
persons were killed and wounded. The number killed
is said to be ten or twelve, among whom it is admitted
there are several peaceable and unoffending
citizens. Arrests were made early, including
many younger members of the aristocracy. Several
young nobles were conducted to the [fortress of
Calms Nava. Irritation increased. The soldiers, in-
cessantly harrasaed and annoyed in the streets, mani-
fested the greatest animosity towards the inhabitants.
A courier had been sent from Vienna to the viceroy,
giving him great powers, among which was that of
reclaiming martial law."
The Patric of the 10th, announces that Parma had
joined the Italian customs league. At Leghorn, the
civic guard, amounting to 4,000 men, were under
arms. All disorder had ceased.
Advices from Palermo bring a report that at Syra-
cue the populace bad seized the fortress, allowing,
however, General Palma, with the principal officers,
to leave it. The populace remained in the citadel,
fraternising with the soldiers, and celebrating their
triumph.
The Yourellisle of Marseilles has the following from
Naples, dated the Bth :—" The news of the entrance of
theAmArians into Modena has produced the mostlively
sensatioo. The two English frigates are still in the
bay, and having delivered the despa‘chcs which they
brought for the British minister, they seem to remain
stationary, as waiting in expectation of events. The
King continues to preside daily at councils. The state
of the kingdom, the deficit in the finances, the fleece-
sityof changing superannuated political forms, because
no longer practicable, were discussed with great ani-
mation at the sittings on the 3rd and sth, but, as
anal, no resolution was come to. M. Fortunato,
Minister of Finances, has formerly declared that
the deficit already amounts to 2,500,000 ducats,
notwithstanding the suspension of the annual
drawing for the extinction of the public debt.
This minister has proposed a reduction of the
nvinY, and a part of the numbers of the law-
mama as means of restoring a balance between the
receipts and expenditure. The king, however, is said
to have replied to the proposal for reducing the effec-
tive strength of the army, that,;instead of doing so, he
wee firmly resolved to increase it by three regiments.
The Duke de Sierra Capriole still resists ; bat it is
generally believed that the king, in order to induce
him to go into Sicily, will grant him certain discre-
tionary powers for setting at liberty prisoners de-
tained upon suspicion, or absolved by justice, bat who
are fill kept in custody, and to grant within certain
districts a species of civic guard."
