PARIS, TUESDAY, 11.30 A.Y.
The discussion of the constitution was terminated
by the Assembly last night. Before it is finally
proclaimed it will have to undergo a revision. This
revision will take place after an interval of five
days, and is not expected to occupy more than a day
or two. We may, therefore, expect the constitution
to be proclaimed early next week.
The decree by which it is proposed to fix the eleo-
tion of the President for the 10th December will, as I
have already informed you,be presented to the Chamber
to-day, but it is uncertain whether the discussion will
be taken upon it immediately or postponed till to-
morrow. The difficulty I referred to last night of
bringing into harmony the powers of the present
Assembly and those which the constitution confers on
the President will form the subject of discussion pro.
bably to-day.

We have news from Madrid to the 18th inst. The
Gazelle contains a decree dismissing Geis. Oribe from
the command of the carabineers. Oribe was an inti-
mate friend 01 Salamanca, and was mainly instra-
mental in his escape from Madrid. Lately he accom-
panied Cordova as general of division to Catalonia
General Luis Armero is appointed inspector of cars-
bineers in his place. Eight officers have fled from
the half-pay depot at Almagro to join the revolu-
tionary party. The French authorities continue to
display the most inhospitable activity in persecuting
the Spanish emigrants. Lately they have arrested
the republican Aldon Torradaa. General Elio has
concealed himself in Bayonne.

Our Vienna news is no later than the evening of
the 18th inst.
His Majesty has caused the following manifesto to
be published on his entry into Olmutz :
Having arrived at Olmiitz, where I intend to reside for
the present, my paternal heart feels constrained to acknow-
ledge the proofs of faithful attachment which I received from
my people throughout the whole course of my journey
hither. I travelled in the midst of my soldiers because the
country Is overrun by evil-minded persons, and my own
faithful people could not everywhere surround me. Pea-
santry of my dominions, have confidence in your Emperor,
as your Emperor has confidence in you. 'the abolition of
the taus imposed on the soil, such u the statute labour,
and tithes, promised by the law already pub-
lished, is opened to you, and I hereby reiterate my
imperial word, which has been verbally given you several
times during my journey—it is my firm resolve to guarantee
your liberties. Do not disquiet yourselves, my faith'ul pea-
santry, and if there are men who seek to render the words
of your Emperor suspected in your eyes, consider them
traitors to me and your heat interest., and conduct yourselves

The Provisional Commander-in-chief of the Na-
tional Guard has addressed a letter to Jellachich, ex-
horting him to retire from his hostile position, and to
withdraw with his troops, since otherwise he will be
obliged to act on the offensive. A similar letter to
Field-marshal Count Auersperg has received the
following reply :
Head-quarters, Inzersdorf, Oct. 17.—1 n reply to the ho-
noured communisation of the 19th, of the Commander-in-
Chief of the National Guard, I hasten to make the following
, statement. In the first instance, you will be pleased to bear
I in mind that the present very lamentable state of things was
in nowise called forth by the royal military, or their leaders,
but this was done by the inhabitants of Vienna' and ems.
cially by a portion of the National Guard, which attacked as
sword in hand, and thereby caused the sad catastrophe of
the 6th of October, in consequence of which, and to avoid
the further effusion of blood, I deemed it necessary to on-
°nitrate troops between the Schwarzenberg Summer
Palace and the Belvedere, in a position inaccessible to
the public. I should have maintainedthis position longer but
for the difficulties raised by the inhabitants of Vienna against
the maintenance of my troops and their menifold attempts
to make them unfaithful to their duty, which from their
proximity I could not entirely obviate, and which were so
odious to the troops that they led to most lamentable acts of
violence towards the persons who attempted to seduce them,
and I resolved to take up a secure position in the environs
of Vienna, but not in an hostile attitude. Since the imperial
arsenal was plundered (although it was placed under the pro-
tection of the national guard), and the people of the lowed
order armed, and even a call issued by the city for a
general levy of the landitorm, I am induced to
maintain inoremed vigilanoe, for under such circum-
stances it is impossible to infer that the efficiency
of the authorities, in which I might have confidence, can act
legally and independentlyunder the meowing influence of
an armed proletariat. Under this extraordinary state of
things, in which tee ruling authority of the state—a respon-
sible ministry—subsists in name only, but where there is no

rainier el war whatever, I can do no othuwise thee in a
defilade. po.itioe await the 'amine commands of hi. Ma,
ja which I.eet daily eareting.—(higned) Au aaaaa

EOM, OCT. 14.
Sick of solitary dinners, the etiquette of several
handled rears with his predecessors, the Pope gave a
baguet at the Quirinal Palace yesterday, to Count
Rost, inviting to meet him Cardinals Orioli, Seek,
pstriei, and Vannicelli, Monsignors Picoolomini,
Tomo, Stella, and della Porta, Count Mufti (hie own
brother), the ambassador Duc di Itiguano. with Prince
colonel of the noble guard. This is not the

Pio Nono will be famous in future ages. Does not
