M. Picard, the opposition candidate, has been
elected for the Fifth Circumscription by a large
majority.
The numbers, as far as they are yet known, are :

The Pays returns to the subject of Montenegro,
and—observing that the claims of the Porte to
suzerainty in Montenegro have never been admitted
by that country, and have been repeatedly discoun-
tenanced by European diplomacy—expresses an
opinion that the question must of necessity be de-
cided by the Congress which will meet in Paris in a
few days.
In another article, ingeniously written to disguise
a retreat, the Pays clearly admits that France will I
not insist in the Congress upon the Union of the 0.
Principalities. It is of opinion with the Ronmains
themselves, that the union wider a foreign prince
~y.;
would be the best plan that could be devised, but it
does not " shut its eyes to the difficulties in the way :
of the execution" of that scheme. The Treaty of
Paris conferred upon Turkey the right of carrying into
effect the resolutions which the Congress should take
is regard to the Principalities. It would be diflicul(
to persuade Turkey to act upon a decision against
which she had protested. Is it desired, is it possible,
to force her to compliance " That," mays the Pays,
"is a very delicate question upon which we will not
dwelL" All that the Pays desires to establish is,
that "If" it should turn out that the powers which .
are in favour of the union should find themselves '
compelled, by "considerations of a superior order,"
to consent to restrictions in the application of the •
principle, it would not be just to accuse them of
having changed their opinions. This is merely a
plea for the honours of war in laying down arms,
and is a complete confession of what I assured you
positively months ago, that France as well ea
England had given up the union of the Princi-
palities.
The Prince Royal of Wurtemburg will arrive in
Paris on Wednesday, to Bee his cousin, the Queen of

meats of Count Cavour and Lord Malmeebury. Count
Cavour, it is said, declared in answer to &despatch
of Lord Malmesbury, that he would not submit the
question of the restitution of the Cagliari to arbitra-
tion, but that he would be happy that friendly
powers should use their influence to obtain the '
dislivery of the ship, and that when it was restceed -
the Sardinian government would be quite ready to
listen to a proposal to refer to arbitrationthe amount
of damages to be paid to the crew. Under these
circumstances, Lord Malmesbury, anxious to get rid
of Mr. Kinglake's motion' thought himself justified
in saying that Sardinia had acceded to his advice,
and Count Cavour only spoke the strict truth when
he said that he had not submitted the question of
the restitution of the Cagliari to arbitration.

Letters from Alexandria, of April 28, mention the
arrival there of ambassadors from a sovereign little
known to fame, but who, it appears, desires to beams
famous—Theodore, King of Gonda. This prima
who perhaps is a descendant of Raesslas, rules
over the most important kingdom of Abyssinia, and
carries on, it is said, a considerable trade with Egypt
and Europe by way of the Red Sea. His envoys
have had a private audience with the Viceroy of
Egypt. Several representatives of foreign powers at
Alexandria have called upon them. It is reported
that King Tiseadixe intends to send extraordinary
embassies to France and England this summer.
The Minister of the Interior and Public
