PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

Although the latest telegram says that Admiral
de Tinan has left Gaeta with the "remainder" of
the French fleet, that statement is not understood
as contradictory of the prior despatch, according
to which the Monette corvette remains there. Her
destination, the evening papers say, is to offer an
asylum for Francis H. and his family whenever he
may require one. The "latest news" of the
Prase mentions a rumour, not confirmed in any
quarter, that contrary to all anticipation the
armistice at Gaeta will be prolonged with a view to
further negotiations.
A Toulon letter states that M. Langougine,
lieutenant in the French navy, is ordered to take
out from Bordeaux an iron-cased gunboat, built
in that port for the Paella of Egypt. The Patric
repeats the affirmation that Said Pacha is going on
a pilgrimage to the holy cities, and says there is no
truth in the report that he bad given up the pro-
ject in consequence of the Sultan having threatened
to send a provisional viceroy from Constantinople.
The Sultan made no such threat, and Ismail Pacha,
the next heir to the pachalic of Egypt, will govern
without opposition during Said's absence on his
religious journey.
M. Emile 011ivier has addressed the following
letter to the Count de Persiguy :

Paris, Jan. 17, 1861.

Pd. le Ministre,—Oo the 20th of Deoember last, the
Councillor of State charged with the direction of the pram,
in acknowledging the receipt of the second letter which I
did myself the honour of writing to you to ask for an
authorisation to found a political journal, informed me that
be would submit the question to you on your return to
London. From %kat time to this I have received no
intimation whatever on the subject, and I now beg
you to pot an end to a state of uncertainty which
has lasted long enough. Whatever decision you
may come to upon your responsibility, you will, I am sure,
M. le Ministre, be of opinion that the most elementary rules
of politeness entitle me to have an answer without further
delay. This is really not too much (or a deputy of the
Seine to expect from a Minister of the Interior. I have the
honour to salute you respectfully, EMILE 01.I.MEIL

MM. E. 011ivier and Picard, members for Path,
write to the Opinion Nationale that many electors
in the districts they represent being at a loss to
know how to fulfil the formalities requisite to get
their names put down upon the Hata, they will be
at home from five to six o'clock every day until the
revision is terminated, in order to give advice to
any elector who may require it.
The West India mail just arrived brings the
news of the suppression of the Fenner d' Ootre Mer,
the moat important journal of the Antilles, for an
article complaining of the state of the colonies, and
expressing in very bitter terms the belief that when
the Emperor knew of their grievances they would
be redressed. The following are the reasons given
the governor, M. de bfausaion de Cantle. for the
suppression of the journal :—" Ist. That the ar-
ticle contained an attack upon the Emperor, inas-
much as it spoke of sums of money prodigally ex-
pended by him in support of foreign causes; 2nd.
Au attack upon the French government in
alleging that it crushed the colonies under
the weight of a ruinous inequality ; and, 3rd.
An attack both upon the Minister of the
Colonies and the local government, in falsely insi-
nuating that the Emperor was not sufficiently
informed of the situation and wants of the colo-
nies." The governor, at time of issuing this
decree, had not probably heard of the decree of
Nov. 24 ; at all events, it is plain that he was not
imbued with the spirit of it. Another important
fact brought by the same mail is that a government
candidate for the council-general of Guadeloupe
only gained his election by one vote. Such an
instance of the strength and temerity of the oppo-
sition is unprecedented in the colonies.

PARIB, SATURDAY EVRJTXG.

The .11,»iUtPe pnblialies the following note confir-
matory of the fact that the gre►t Bonaparte case
of legitimacy in really to be allowed to come on for
trial :

Several journals have announced that the Tribunal of
Preinire-Instance of the Seine has miller consideration •
demand for partition, iu coneequence of the death of Prince
Jerome, brought forward by M. Jerome Bonaparte Pater-
son and his mother against Prince Napoleon, the sole heir
at his father. Those journals have entered into incomplete
and erroneous esphinations on the subject. The First
Chamber of the Tribunal of the Seine has iu fact before it
the application alluded to. which aguiu raises the question
of the validity of the marriage contracted in America in
the year 1,10:1 by Prince Jerome—a marriage which was
protested against by his niotherenthe3Ventose, An Xlll. ;
annulled by two decrees of the Emperor Napoleon 1., and of
the II MA :10 Veutsse, An XIIL, end to which two deci-
sions of the Conseil de Familia Imperial, of the 4th July,
18511, and sth July, 1860, ',dosed all effect, de-
claring that the union of Mai wax null awl void,
and that it could not, even under the circumstances of the
ease, permit the applicwit to take the benefit of Arts. 1.111
and AU of the Code Napoleon, attributiml to a nullified
marriage the civil effects of marriage when it ham been con-
tracted in good faith. A memoir, he M. Berner, to which
premature publicity has bona given, and on the terms ef
which we shall nut give au opition, hos been distributed ;
it contains documents, the autheeticitv of which is disputed.
B. Alton, the advocate of his imperial highness, lies con-
fintsl himself to distributing a simple collection of better,
and orticial documents counected with the 'disk. Prince
Napoleon refused to decline tow competency of the onlitriry
trilaumlx, by insolieg the special jarieliction epp;icalde
to the imperial famitc. In thi..tato of tile sttalle •••
WU of the meet simple prte

priety cmon2ende the greatest reserve, :ad irui ewe the
necemity of awaiting both the discomiesa, which will
completely clear up the question, and the new decision of
justice.

It is said that in consequence of the above law-
suit Prince Napoleon's trip to Italy is postponed.
The following aiguificant paragraph is going the
round of the journals :
" M. Dupin is understood to be atudying 6; law
of divorce."

No doubt but this very old student must study
a great deal before be will be able to make out
that Mr. Jerome Bonaparte, whom the Mowiteur
pleases to call M. Jerome Bonaparte Pater-.on, is
not the legitimate son of his father and mother.
The Bourse, after a dull day, in the course of
which the Bente droppedto 67f.10c., became rather
firm at the close ' • the last price both for cash and
account was 67f. 25c., being a rise of sc. Mobilier
left off at yesterday's quotation. In railways there
was scarcely any alteration.
I mentioned some time since that the Lyons
Railway Company intended to give their second
and third class passengers the benefit of the hot
tubes which have hitherto been the privilege of the
first class. A perfectly successful trial of a new
invention for accomplishing this object was made
yesterday between Paris and Montergis, in the
presence of three government commissioners. By
a most ingenious contrivance a portion of the waste
steam thrown off after exhausting its motive power
upon the engine is introduced into a flexible tube,
which extends throughout the train, and is so
twisted that every passenger may put his feet upon
it. This application of the great French principle
of " equahty " is worthy of all praise.
The Opinion Nationale has received intelligence,
that when the Austrian government heard that.
General Klapka was in the Danubian Principali-
ties, it sent twelve gendarmes, under a Croat cap-
tain, named Kositevics, with orders to arrest him ;
but Klapka, being warned by his friends in time,
got out of the way, and is now in all probability
out of danger.
Some stress is laid upon the circumstance that
when the deposed Grand Duke of Tuscany paid a
complimentary visit to Berlin the other day, the
new King of Prussia accepted from him the order
of Saint Joseph of Tuscany. Coupled with the
perhaps unnecessarily energetic speeches of the
King against revolutionary principles the fact has
no doubt a certain importance, and people are the
more curious to see what sort of a reception General
La Marmora, who has just been sent to Berlin by
Victor Emmanuel, will meet with in that capital.
Miu,artl, of the Champs Elyares concerts, the son
of the great Muaard, is going to London with his
orchestra early in February.

THE GOTIRNIIIDIT AND TEI NATIONAL EXPRN-
Irma& —Sir De Lacy Evans and Mr. Vincent Scully have
sent copies to the newspapers of letters which they have
returned in reply to the circular respecting the reduction
of the national expenditure. Sir De Lacy Evans concurs
in the desirableness of a revision of the national taxation
and expenditure, with a view to economy; but, he says, " I
entirely dissent from its being safe or expedient to
disarm this country. I am not so confident as you
appear to be of the maintenance of peace in Europe,
or of the unaggressive intentions of the Emperor Na.
poleon." Moreover, he disapproves of private communi-
sations to a prime minister intended to influence, by
anticipation, public legislation. Mr. Scully also thinks that the
reduction of the expenditure craft be effected through pri.
rate addresses. Parliament, he thinks, "should at once insist
that, unless in exceptional cases, all the annual estimates
shall be submitted at an early period, instead of towards the
close of each session. The next step should be to appoint
a select committee, and ascertain in what respects the
national expenditure can be reduced without detriment to
the public service. Notices to the above effect stand now
in my name, but I should prefer to SO6 them in charge of
influential members."

A meetiug to promote the repeal of the hop duty
Wei held at Canterbury on Saturday. The various speakers,
including Mi. Elmsford Hope, Mr. Dodson, M.P., and
Lord Holmes&le, M.P., contended strongly that the tax
was unjust in principle and peculiarly unfair in its operation.
Mr. Hope explained that in order to relieve the Central
Association from the imputation of desiring protection they
had combined in their agitation the repeal of the import
duty upon foreign hope, with the abolition of the duty upon
home produce.

On Saturday a numerous meeting of the com-
manding officers of various volunteer regiments in the
county of Middlesex, was held at the Volunteer Service
Club, for the purpose of adopting an address to Lord Ids
Grey on the occasion of his retirement from the office of
Under•Secrettry of War. High encomiums having been
passed upon Lord de Grey for his services in connexion
with the organisation of the volunteer movement, the
address was adopted, and a deputation appointed to pre.
sent it to his lordship.
A banquet of the officers and in..mbers of the 7th
Surrey Rifles was held at the London Thvern, ou Saturday
night, when a silver bugle was presented to the corps by the
ladies of Newington. On the same evening, two bugles
were presented to Lord Truro's Hines, in Ilyddleton
Islington.

It appears from the Afemoht, in the case about
to appear before the French courts, that Prince Jerome
married a third time ; for by a wia, dated July 6, 1852, he
leaves a life annuity to " the Marchioness whom
be declares be had " married in pretence of the church,"
meaning that the religious ceremony only was performed.

.
A telegram in the Nod gays that the Bank of
France has concluded an arrangement with Russia, through
the agency of Messrs. Dutfoi and Kiunen, of Paris, and
Wyncken, of St. Petersburg, for the exchange of a sum of
30,000,00 W. in gold for the same amount iu silver.
The following extraordinary story of the Bishop
of Orleans is told by a Paris correspoaleut of the Nod :
" P.S.—I open my letter to give you a piece of news, which
I should heeititte to mention if I were not iu a position to
guarantee its authenticity. Mgr. Dupanloup has just
written a letter to the Duke d'Aumale which has produced
an immense sensation in the Orleans family. In this
letter the celebrated prelate, as I am assured, earnestly
recommends the Orionist party to make common cause
with the supporters of the church. He predicts the speedy
fall of the empire and the restoration of the Orleans
&may." Notwithstanding the positive way in which tine
tale is given (says our Paris correspondent), I cannot be-
lieve it, sod feel no doubt that it will be contradicted.
The 017TBREAS AT THE CH ATHAM CONVIt7 ESTA
LIgIIMENT.—The prompt measures resorted to to crush the
recent outbreak among the convicts at the Chatham estab-
lishment have had the effect of restoring; comparative order
within the walls of the prison. Oa Saturday an order
arrived at the prison from the Home Secretary, directing
that the convict Peters, who lately effected a partial escape,
together with Thotuanson and another convict named
Burke, who is undergoing sentence of ten years' penal
servitude, both of whom had taken a leading part in the
late outbreaks, should lie forwarded to the Pentonville
establishment, and Bennett, the convict wboee cell Pelee
was unlocking when taized, to Ifillhank The four cog.
vide were accordingly heavily ironed and handed over to the
custody of several warden, fully armed, for removal to Lon-
don. On their arrival at the London-bridge station. Burke
commenced showing signs of insubordination, and dechued
lie would proceed no further. The airestsinee of some of
the railway police was, however, obtained. and he, with the
rest, wax toned into an omnibus, when Burke began
mashie! the windows. The warders in charge suc-
ceeded in fastening his hands behind him, after which
he was safely removed to Pentoevilie. During Friday
night use of the convicts, named M'C'sliarn, under ',ounce
of eight years' penal servitude, attempted to make his
escape from the cell in which he was confined. The pri-
mmer was lodged in a cell at the top of the building,
and thy method he adopted fur eff.!,:ting his escape
was somewhat ingenious. Each of the cells is pro.
sided with a piece of perforated ire° about • foot square,
and of great strength, which is Mewled into the ceiling for
the purposes of ventilation. leCallain appears to have
endeavoured to remove this in order to crawl throngli into
the air-shaft,ouussiulialyll4thirtniinuofp
his

pats aluilliner. The iron ventilator, however, defied his
efforts to remove it, and the bedding of each convict under'
goiug the usual examination the nett morning the at-
tempted weal' was, of course, disem emit, and the convict
removed to another oell to await the pueishumat which will
be awarded him. Early on Saturday morning another
batch of convicts arrived at the prison fens Millbank, most
of them being under seutence of tined servitude for long
',riots. They were all heavily ironed, and by their
behaviour were es aloofly of the most desperate air., one
of them commencing to smash the glass of the omnibus
which cuoveyod them from the Stroud railway swim, to
St. Mary's prima.
