PARIS, TutknD.tT EVZNINO.

Two telegrams received this day have caused con-
siderable uneasiness at the It,urse. One, from Bone.
states that, according to a verbal statement made by
Dr. Kern to the &dire! Council, the
French government will withdraw its ext.
yuleur from all the French consuls in Swit-
zerland, unless the new ones are received. I do
not myself think there is any probability of a
breach between France and Switzerland on this
question. It is obvious that the French govern-
ment seer, upon reflection, that under the
excitement occasioned by the Orsini affair
its diplomatic agents carried the passport I
nuisance to an absurd extent, and one which,
though annoying to other countries, must be
especially injurious to France herself. It is an-
nounced this very day that more reasonable regula-
tions are to be made with regard to England,
and I have little doubt that in on. form
or another the pretensions to which Swit-
:mend rightly objects will be withdrawn.
The tone taken in official quarters is that the Swiss
journals have been making much ado about nothing,
that the instructions to al! foreign governments are
aniform,and that the supposition of Switzerland, that
specially harsh conditions are sought to be conferred
upon her, is altogether a mistake. The other news,
which has a more serious aspect, is that the Nea-
politan government has sent back to Sardinia the
last note sent relative to the affair of the Cagliari.
People talk at once of the probability of
war between l'islazoot and Naples. I think
this a most unlikely contingency. The Piedmon-
woe government has doubtless asoimed a very ener-
getic attitude on the subject, and may probably go
solar as to withdraw its ambassador; but I have
much reason to believe that it will not go further. The
article of the Patrie which I sent you yesterday is
perhaps a more serious indication of breakers ahead
than either of the pieces of news which excited the
susceptibility of the Holum, end it no doubt greatly
contributed to the extreme depression which pre-
vailed to-day. The Rents fell asic. for crib, and
50e. for account, closing at 69fr. 50e. and 69fr. 40e.

satisfactory) ; Orleans, I Ur. 25c., and the other lines

The Kansas bill was still being delayed in the
Senate.

The bill providing for an increase in fits army
had been passed by the House of Representatives.
It provides for the organisation of regiments of
mounted men for the defence of the frontier of
Texas, and authorises the President to employ four
regiments of volunteers to quell disturbances in
Utah, protect the emigrant trains, and keep the
Indians in the northwest in order. It is very
doubtful if the bill can pan the Senate; and it is
believed that the Government will not avail them-
selves of the volunteer force, even should the Senate
pass it.

The Senate had adopted a resolution directing in-
quiry as to what measures have been taken to punish
the murderer% of a party of 118 emigrants while on

offence is charged upon the Mormons, but they lay it
to the Indians.
