SERVIA.

A communication from Path of the 26th, in the
Universal German Gazette, says :—" In consequence
of the deposition of Prince Alexander, pronounced
by the Skupschtina of Servia, a brigade composed of
two battalions of infantry and a battery of artillery
have received orders to quit this town by railway,
and to remain at Smith and in the neighbourhood."
A private letter from Vienna, of later date, states
that 13,000 infantry and a great deal of artillery,
occupying eight trains, had passed through Path
for Semlin, and that 10,000 more men were expected
immediately. This letter states, however, that not-
withstanding this serious demonstration, the general
opinion at Vienna was that the affair would speedily
be settled, without any grave consequences.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, FRIDAY Evsmixo,

Among the new year's promotions and appoint-
ments in this day's lifondeur (which by the way
are but a small fraction of those which will be
made) I only Sad two of any general interest.
The first is the appointment of M. de Thorigny,
senator, to be First President of the Imperial
Court of Amiens. He, it will be remembered, wu
the head of that ministry which received the'
sobriquet of the ministere des commis, because it
was appointed to execute the orders of President of
the Republic while he wu meditating the coup
d'lMt. It was M. de Thorigny who read to the
National Assembly the famous message of November
1861, foreshadowing the re-establishment of uni-
versal suffrage. The other remarkable name in the
list is that of M. Faidherbe, governor of Senegal,
who is made a colonel. He wu the true founder of
that colony, and rained it from being a mere market-
place for a few gum merchants to its present
condition.

General M'Mahon, who was staying at his
ebitean in Normandy, has received orders by tele-
graph to proceed at once to Algiers, on aooount, as it
is supposed, of some disturbances among a tribe of
the Awes Mountaios, in the province of Constan-
tine. The Ann% is a chain of hills running from
the Grand Atlas into Tunis.

The &eele says it has reuon to know that the
commission appointed to settle the amount of indem-
nity to be paid by Portugal to France in the affair of
the Charles et Georges has reported that the proper
sum will be 336,000 fr., of which 80,000 fr. are to be
shared among the crew.

It is rumoured that Marshal Castellano will be re-
called from the high command which he has so long
exercised at Lyons to aasume the functions of
Grand F.euyer to the Emperor, an office which has
remained vacant since the death of Marshal St.
Arnaud. Marshal Canrobert will probably succeed
Marshal Cutellane at Lyons, and will be replaced at
Nancy by Marshal Randon, the late governor of
Algiers.
The Stirle remarks that the warning given to the
Charente Napotionienne is the first that hu been
given to any journal einoe M. Delangle's advent to
office. The Charente journal, which is an Imperial-
ist,
has petitioned the Emperor against the warning,
and has sent him a copy of the articles com-
plained of.
M. Brochant de Villiers, who (as the Moniteur
announces) has just been elected deputy for the
Seine and Oise, was the least governmental of the
three candidates. I have already mentioned that
the first election was void, and that the government
did not profess to have any candidate at all, but
secretly used its influence against M. Brochant de
Villiers. The numbers stood as follows at the definite
close of the poll:

M. Broehant de Villiers
M. le Comte G. de la Rochefoncauld
M. le Marquis de Labriffe

The commission appointed by the Minister of
State to settle a universal diapason has concluded
its labours. The report is drawn up by M. F.
Halevy.
M. Jules Pasquier, the brother of the celebrated
chancellor, has just died.
Yesterday afternoon the enjoits de troupe of the
let Grenadier Guards, about twenty-flve in number,
had the honour of being presented to their comrade,
the Imperial Prince, at the Tuileries.

There was considerable fluctuation at the Bourse
connected with the operations for the settlement.
The Rent* for account, after opening at 'Mfr./ie. and
recovering to yesterday's price (73fr. 10c.), closed at
72fr. 90e., with a fall of 20c. For cub there was a
fall of 10c., the last price being 72fr. 900. Mobilier
was, as it has been for some days past, very firm
it only fell lfr. 23c. Railways were lfr. or 2fr.
higher.
