BERLIN, TUESDAY.

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
The Emperor and the Duke and Duchess de
Brabant yesterday visited the Hotel du Louvre,
where they were received by M. E. Pereire and M.
Ad. d'Eichthal.

The Emperor yesterday gave an audience to M.
Jean-Baptiste Alberdi, who presented his letters of
credence as Charge d'Affaires of the Argentine
Confederation.

The question- of the recall of M. de Persigny,
Ambassador at London, is said to be under serious
consideration. The French Government is reported
not to approve of the political line which be has
followed at the English Court. It is added that
Count Walewski will return to London, and that
M. Drouyn de l'Huys will resume the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.

The decree relative to the suppression of the
Cents Gardes has been signed by the Emperor.
The fete offered to Prince Napoleon and the
members of th, Imperial Commission by the exhi-
bitors at the Exposition Universelle took place
last night in tlie new Hotel du Louvre, and was,
without any etception' one of the most unsucces-
ful entertainments that we ever witnessed in Paris.
The whole entertainment was dreadfully mis-
managed, the great mistake being the absence of
ladies, whose presence would have tended to keep
the grosser portion of the company within the
bounds of something like good behaviour. The
fete was certainly not such as the exhibitors of the
Great Paris Exhibition ought to have offered to
the Prince wlo presides over the Imperial Com-
mission.

The Constitutionnel having published some re-
marks relativs to the mission of M. de Prokesch-
Osten to Parts, which were contradicted by the
Patric, but afterwards persisted iu by the Consti-
tutionnel, the latter has received the following
letter from M. Collet Meygret, part of whose duty
it is to watch over the proceedings of the public
press :

"Monsieur—Conformably to Art. 19 of the organic
decree on the press, I call on you to insert at the head
of your journal the following as a communicated article:
--` The Constitvtionnel, replying to an evening journal,
thought proper to maintain the correctness of its infor-
mation, relative to the diplomatic mission which is said
to have been confided to M. de Prokesch-Osten. The
Constitutionnel has been led into an error by its corres-
pondent. M. ce Prokesch was not charged with any
mission to the Court of the Tuileries.'—Accept, &e."
The Coast it ttionnel, in obedience to the demand,
heads its number of to-day with the above com-
munication. •
