EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE
PREFECTS.
(PION OVA OWN COIINOPONDINT.I

PARIS, WZDADIDAT ETINUIO.

I subjoin a highly important circular, addressed by
M. Bahian, the Minister of the interior, to the pre-
beta, which will shortly be made public. The senti-
ments expressed in it are most exoelleor, and it can-
not but beniatter of astonishment so much us of regret,
considering that the selection of the prefects was
unfettered by any parliamentary impedimenta, that
they should hitherto have systematically acted s con-
trary to the reiterated instructions both of M. Billault
and his predecessors." The empire is represented in
the interesting light of a gourerisernest inconspris,
and it will be hard if the touching attitude it now
mums. dose not melt the hearts of the electors at
the forthcoming general elections.
The following is the text of the circular :

Paris, Nov. 20.
Monsieur le Prefet,—Deeress Impending Municipal
Councils, and appliostione for their diseolation, are becoming
every day more mammon. This exaggerated tendency is
sot lit sonformity either with the spirit of the law of May 6,
1866, or with the intentions of the goverament. The iateu-
Um of the law was to arm the superior authority against
procieediage which might be predadieiel to order, or which
might troupes. Um legal powen of the tommanal asses-
Wee. It was with a view to extraordinary eases of this bad
that Art. 13 was treated, ander which Municipal Commits
may not only be supeaded or dissolved, but may be re-
*sod by cosmissioas whose powers may last till the next
guiagaeunial election. But the greater part of the decrees
of suspension which I receive are grounded upoe the oppo•
Won of the Councils to propositions touching the commu-
nal interests brought forward by the mayors. The Wall-
Wasting too often thinks fit to laterfdre in these local

ROMAN STATES.

One of the most eminent men in the States of the
Church, Count Francis Lovatelli, has been assay-
singled at Ravenna. He was going home, accom-
panied by his men of business when an unknown
person fired a pistol close to his body. The wound
is mortal. The murderer has escaped. Count Lova-
telli was a devoted liberal, and in 1843 was obliged
to exile himself in France on acccunt of hie opinions.
In 1848 he was numbered with the peers of the
Roman slates under the constitutional government,
and for some time he was intendant of Ferrara. For
some time past, however, he has lived a retired life.

RUBBIA AND PERSIA.

A dispatch from St. Petersburg, dated December
1, data. that 60,000 Russians, commanded by Ge-
neral Beruloft are ready to march to the Persian
bonder at the first call of the Shab. Two corps

THE QUESTION OF

The memorial on the Neufchatel question, com-
municated to the several cabinets of Europe by the
Swiss government (as mentioned in yesterday's Ex-
press) occupies 92 quarto pages. It is understood to
proceed from the pan of Colonel Burman, the Swiss
minister at Paris. The writer passes in review—the
origin of the sovereignty claimed by the King of
Prussia; the conditions under which this so-
vereignty was conceded; the vicissitudes to
which it has been subject; the reserves socam.
panying the entry of Neufchatel into the Helvetic
aufeclaration, in 1818 ; the inconveniences that
arose from the undefined situation of the canton;
the dangers which led to the re-establishment of the
former state of things; and, finally, the interest which
Switzerland and Europe have in the maintenance
in all its integrity of the political rlgime established
since 1848.

It is now stated by the continental journals that
the question will be brought before a conference at
Landau, although the arrangement in repugnant to
the King of Prussia, who prefers the arbitration of
the Emperor of the French.

The Federal government has summoned to Berne II
Colonel Ziegler, who had held the chief command ofl
the troops encamped last year in Eastern Switzer-
land. In 1847 ke was at the head of one of the five
divisions called oat on the occasion of the Bonder-
band. It appears, beyond doubt, says a letter from
Neufchatel of the 4th, that the presence of this dis-
tinguished °Meer at Berne is connected with the
arrangements which the war department is at pre-
sent adopting in ordor to be in a condition to meet
all eventualities.

THE LOSS OF THE STEAMER TAT.

i The following details of the lose of this vessel
• (which hos alresdy been briefly reported in the Exprtu),
dated Tampico, Sept. 6 have been received in London :
The royal West India mail steamer Tay, Captain
&nett, from Vera Crux with the mails, which ran OR shore
an the 31st alt., is likely to become a total wreck. She left
Vera Crew the day previous at noon, ivied very light from
N. and N. 8., and calm; her course was three miles N. and
by 8., and than N. and by W. W., the engines working
half epeed. At midnight bore sway to the N.W. by W.,
the captain eapecting that it would bring the ship 12 miles
to the east of Lobos. The captain was on the foreesetl•
looking oat along with the chief officer, when they observed
on the port bow a ?Alien of the water, what they supposed
to be a squall coming. The captain went aft to get his
night glass, hat before he reached the eshin the chief officer
cried oat, Bard a-port, hard a-port,' and in the next
Minute or so the ship struck heavily, and her
head coming round to N., she rained. Boats
were instantly lowered, and the mails were placed
in one of tlhem, which proceeded to 'tempter is
charge of the Admiralty agent end second ahem A 10
cwt. kedge wee laid at oa the starboard bow, with an
hawser made feat to it, and all hors tent. The
engines were then est at fall speed, in order to gee the ship
off; butthe hawser broke, malty a second 9 inch hawser,
and she surged much farther up on the beach. By this time
the rollers Were breaking over her, her iteroptat and red-
der were North, and cabins full of water. Finding it lea-
pcialble to do 'whim amp, it was determined to attitudes
the ship. All the beer_ fret sway safely eseeptieet the gig,
which capsized, and J. Jeffs, O. S., and Alfred Mille, pantry
man, wine drowned. One man, aamed Lions Bianeheney,
saved himself by swimming on shore. The boats steered
for Lobos Island, about eight miles distant, but, order to
the 'ellen, could not for some time land. On the 2nd
inst the eapteia visited the wreck, sad found she had settled
down on the starboard broadside, and had parted abaft the
engine-room and quarter-deck, and was fast breaking up.
Captain Strut; in • letter to the company, says, 'I am
unable to account for this accident in any other way then
that we taut have had an extraordinary current setting In
to the senthward, for which I had not made sentient
"

I, WIDNILLIDAT MORNING.

A private letter baa been received in Southampton
from a person belonging to the Tay steamer, which states that
after she had struck all as board landed on an uninhabited
Wand, where they reatafned three days, and lived on • W-
ool* a day per ease. Fortunately water wag found on the
Wand, or great numbers would have perished. The crew
were taken off by a Mexican war-stemaer, and conveyed to
Tampico, where the letter was writteo.
