THE CAMP AT ALUDIBAGH.

The following is all that the Bombay papers pub-
lish respecting the action at.Alumbagh :
" Sir James Outram, at the date of our last ad-
vices, was still holding the palace of the Alumbagh,
and we have received the following despatch by
telegraph from Madras of a success just achieved by
him there: • Ontram attacked and dispersed the
enemy near Alumbagh on the 22nd December, and
captured four guns, one elephant, and much ammu-
nition. Our loss was very *Ming.'"

The measure which has been proposed to the Corps
Legislatif is a prOet de lei entitled one to provide
for the public safety, and it consista of certain addi-
tions to several of the articles of the Penal Code.
Article 2 punishes with imprisonment of from one
month to two years every individual who, with the
object of disturbing the public peace, or of exciting
hatred and contempt against the government of the
Emperor, shall have practised any intrigues or
carried on any correspondence either within this
country or abroad.

Article 3 punishes the sale of murdereu engines
without a proper authorisation.
Article 7 declares u follows :

" Any individual may be interne in France or
Algeria, or expelled, who was condemned, expelled,
intern!, or transported in May or Jane, 1848, in
June, 1849, or in December, 1861, and who may
again have been pointed out by important circum-
stances as dangerous to the public safety."
The privy council instituted to-day for the purpose,
as the message expresses it, of learning the duties and
necessities of government, in order that it may be
prepared for the important task which it may one
day have to fulfil, is, I believe, quite a novel idea.
The men of whom this council is composed are all
eminent and able, end m the Emperor says that
they possess his confidence it would be difficult to
object to the selection. There is a rumour, it is true,
that M. de Persigny and M. de Morny are at dag-
gers drawn, but the Emperor, who ought to know
better than anybody else, evidently does not think so.
The ministers are not very well pleased at the ap-
pointment of this privy council. It, in fact, rednoes
them to ondsr-seorotorics of state each in their own
department. They were not, it is true, much more
previously ; and although they are frequently spoken
of colloquially as a " cabinet," the word, as I have
often had occasion to remark, was always inap-
plicable to them. There is no solidarity between the
imperial ministers. They are under no respon-
sibility to the public. Each is the separate
servant of his muter alone, and events have fre-
quently reminded them of a mot of Louis Napoleon
after the coup rretat, that he did not want ministers
bat only a good staff of clerks.

The Bonise opened with great animation, and the
Rents for account, which yesterday closed at
69fr. 25c., rose to 69fr. 90c. ; but within a few
minutes of the close of business a panic set in
owing to a rumour that Lord Palmerston had de-
manded explanation of the military addresses in the
ifbniteur threatening England with invasion, and
that, the explanation not being satisfactory, orders
had been given to pat the entire English navy into
commission. Under the influence of this report, the
Rente dropped to 69fr. 20c., being a fall of 15c. from
yesterday. Mobilier fell 20fr. The railways were
less affected than the Rent. by the panic,:butileft off
in a very uncertain state.

Prince Christian of Denmark, the heir presump-
tive to the throne, accompanied by General Scbleyel,
was, according to a telegram, to leave Copenhagen
this day for Paris, on a miasion of congratulation to
their Imperial Majesties.

ACQUITTAL OF THE "RAGIONE."

The Ragions of Turin, a number of which bad
been seized by the authorities for publiahieg a letter
from Paris, which appeared to contain a kind of
defence of the men who attempted the life of the
Emperor of the French, was tried on the 28th ult.
by the Court of Assizes of Turin. The prosecu-
tion was conducted by M. Lavini, deputy fiscal
advocate, and the defence by M. Tecchio, a member
of the Chamber of Deputies. The jury returned
a verdict of acquittal. The Regions itself has the
following on the subject :—" Now that our words
son so longer be misinterpreted, we repeat that the
authorities had misunderstood the meaning both of
our correspondent and the journal itself. When
one declared that political assassination is murder,
and the other joined in the universal execration of
the regicides, it was not irony, as the authorities
pretended, but, on the contrary, as our counsel
showed, the immediate and necessary consequence
of the principles which the Regions has ever pro-
fessed."

" Adding example to preoept, the Emperor Alex-
ander," writes the St. Peterabww correspondent of the No*
"has resolved to emancipate the whole of the serfs on his
private domains, at the mme time securing to them all the
advantages granted to the pendants el pirate individuals. His
also gives up to them gratuitously ell the building' with
their dependencies in which the peeeents reside."
