LATEST INTELLIGENCE•

It would seem that the liberal resistance is now
every where at an end, though the hopes of a new
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. and more successful resistance seem hardly
weakened. The last Madrid Gazette contains the
Monsieur de Turgot, the Ambassador to Madrid,
following bulletins:—" The remnants of the rebels

submission.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING

At the close of business on the Bourse to•day
the Three per Cents. were quoted at 71f.

A letter from Bucharest, in the Independance
Beige, gives an account of the reading of the firman
which conferred on Prince Alexander Ghika the
dignity of Kamaikan, and says that the absence
from the ceremony of Baron von Eder, the
Austrian Consul General, and the non appearance
there of any Austrian officer, had excited remarks,
as a tacit protestation against the choice made by
the Porte. Austria, as is well known, favoured
Prince Stirbey, and, failing him, would gladly have
seen the government of the province entrusted to
Price Bibesco or Cantacnzene.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING

A Vienna letter in a Berlin paper confirms what
was said a day or two back as to the state of affairs
with Naples not being by any means so satisfactory
as represented by the Augsburg Gazette. Accord-
ing to this letter, the Austrian prime minister had
positively warned the Neapolitan ambassador that
if the King of Naples persisted in taking no notice
of the representations of the Western Powers, they
would break off diplomatic relations with him, and
that Austria could not interfere to protect him from
any measures they might afterwards think right to
be taken for the common good.

The Spanish government has definitively nomi-
nated General Serrans Ambassador at Paris, but
he is not to come here for the present.
It has been stated that the Russian government
has sent a commission to explore the coasts of the
North Sea in its own possessions and in Norway,
in order to ascertain the best position for establish-
ing a formidable military post similar to Sebasto-
pol. A Stockholm letter, in one of our papers,
says that its object is to get such a port into its
possession in the hope of being able, in the event
of a war with England, to disembark suddenly a
large body of troops in the north of Scotland.
The Dutch Chambers have voted the funds
necessary for fitting all their ships of war with
screws. The fleet consists of two ships of the line
of 84 guns, and. three of 74, two frigates of 54,
and two of 58, fify-seven smaller vessels, and 56
gun boats.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.
The Emperor arrived in Paris about half past
six last evening, after an unusually long absence.
The Strasburg railway station was tastefully fitted
up for his reception. He was received by' the
Ministers of State, War, and Foreign Affairs. He
proceeded to the Tuileries, where the Empress
was waiting to welcome him ; and they afterwards
left together for St. Cloud. The Emperor, on
passing along the Boulevards, was greeted with
marks of respect. The Moniteur says that he is in
perfect health, but other accounts, perhaps more
trustworthy than the official journal, declare that
he is not so well as could be wished by his

friends.
You will, no doubt, already have received a tele
graphic despatch, informing you that the Govern-
ment has received one from Constantinople, dated
yesterday,announcing that the Russian commander
of Kars had notified to the Turkish authorities of
Erzeroum that he was ready to give up the place
to them ; also that the Russians had re-occupied
Anapa, and that the inhabitants had taken to
flight. It is said, by the way, in a letter from St.
Petersburg, that the resignation of General Moura
vieff announced to you last week, was owing to
his entertaining views as to what should bo done
with Kars, different to those of the Russian
Cabinet.
An official return shows that the gross receipts
of the French railways for the first half of the
present year were nearly 12,637,366 f. (upwards
of £500,000) than those of the corresponding
period of last year. The length of the lines worked
was more by 1,000 kilometres (4.15 miles).
It is very likely that Marshal Pelissier will be
nominated Governor General of Algeria .—he is
very anxious to get the post, and the Empress is
said to have half promised it to him. The city of
Paris intends to give a grand dinner.
In consequence of the proceedings of secret
societies at St. Etienne, the government has
organised a new system of police in that town.
General Falcon, chief of the late insurrectinary
junta at Saragossa, who has arrived in this country,
has been ordered to reside at Tours.
Very great interest has been excited in our
literary and political circles, by a certain M. Jules
Lecomte, a writer in the Independance of Brussels
(in which, par parenthesis, he never loses an op-
portunity of speaking with flippant insolence of
England) having complained to the civil tribunal
of the editor of a periodical, called the Penelope,
for having called him a " shabby scoundrel," a
" swindler," and a " forger." After lengthened
pleadings, remarkable for their extreme bitteof his
rness,
Yesterday Lecomte got a condemation
adversary to 4/.00 fine and
for such t 2/. damageserrible accusa-
. This cer-
tainly was a pr result
tion as the defendant mae, and it was further
diminished by the fact, that d
Lecomte was fined 41.
for having libelled him. The reason why the
affair has made so much noise is, that Lecomte is
well known in these parts, not only for his con-
nection with the Independance, but for the singular
history of his life.
Trade continues very inactive in Paris, but some
manufacturers of Articles de Paris have received
orders from England, the United States and Spain.
At Rouen, Amiens, and Roubaix, a certain degree
of activity exists. The harvest is now concluded
in some parts of the country, and advanced in
others, and the result is that it is decidedly bad
in the south, indifferent in the centre, excellent
in the north, east, and west. Nothing has yet been
settled about the establishment of transatlantic

steamers.
The Madrid papers give an account of the
Queen's reception of General Espartero. It
appears that, after keeping him waiting a quarter
of an hour, she asked him in a mocking tone,
" Duke, where have you been during the last few
days ?" The Duke made an awkward reply about
his devotedness to the Queen and country being
unchanged, and then kissed her Majesty's hand,
and went away.

SHOCKING SUICIDE IN MOUNT PLEASANT.--Yesterday
morning, at an early. hour, a person named James
Bourne, a carver and gilder, residing at 22, Mount Pleasant,
put an end to his existance by hanging himself in his work-
shop, which is at the back of his dwelling house. Some
time before seven o'clock in the morning, his sister, Elizabeth
Bourne, went into the workshop, and was horrified at
beholding the body hanging by a rope from a beam in the
shop. She at once gave the alarm, and two officers were
in immediate attendance and cut down the body, but life
was long passed away. An inquest will be held on the body
this morning. At present no cause is assigned why
the deceased should have deprived himself of life.
