They declared the result of their scrutiny
Ayes
Noes
They saluted the Prince as Emperor, by the title
of Napoleon 111.
At 10 a.m. to-morrow, M. Berger, Prefect of the
Seine, will proclaim the Empire from the Hotel
de Ville.
The Emperor will make his triumphal entry into
Paris at mid-day.
He will ascend the Throne at the Tuileries, and
receive the great Bodies of the State.
Couriers have been dispatched to all the Courts

of Europe.
Popular enthusiasm is general.
A circular appears from the Minister of the In-
terior to the Prefects, ordering the proclamation of
Napoleon 111. on the days already announced, and
with the customary formalities. Although the
returns are not yet quite made up, the votes will,
according to the Minister, surpass by from 400,000
to 500,000 the number given on the 20th December
last. With regard to religious services, the Govern-
ment, while alive to the spontaneous concurrence
of the clergy, announces that this being the poli-
tical proclamation of the re-establishment of the
Empire, the official religious ceremonies are post-
poned to another period.
The Prefect of Police (says the Galignani), has
published a series of regulations to be observed for
preventing accidents on the occasion of the en-
trance into Paris of the Emperor Napoleon 111.
The circulation of vehicles is to be interdicted on
the line to be followed by the cortege between St.
Cloud and the Palace of the Tuileries, from ten
o'clock in the morning until after the departure of
the troops forming the line ; but vehicles may be
permitted to cross the line until the head of the
cortege shall be announced. As the proclamation
of the Empire is to take place in the Place de
l'Hotel de Ville, the circulation of vehicles is to be
interdicted in the Place, and in the adjacent streets
and quays, from nine o'clock in the morning until
after the end of the solemnity. In the evening,
from seven o'clock, the circulation of vehicles, is
to be interdicted on the Pont Royal, on the Pont
de Carrousel, the Quai des Tuileries, the Quai du
Louvre, the Rue de Rivoli, from the Place de la
Concorde to the Place du Louvre, and in all the
streets comprised between them. The carriages
of personages going to the Tuileries are, however,
to be allowed to pass. The public buildings are
to be illuminated. No scaffoldings, tribunes, or
stands can be placed on the line to be followed by
the cortege without authorisation, it is expressly
forbidden to ascend the trees on the Boulevards,
promenades, and public gardens, on the parapets
of the bridges and quays, on the balustrades,
fountains, and pavilions of the Place de la Con-
corde, or on the roofs or projections, or on the
scaffolding of houses in construction.

THE CONTINENT.

SPAIN.

We learn from Madrid, under date of the 26th
ult., that the Epoca having given what is called an
unfaithful account of a meeting of opposition Sena-
tors, five journals which copied the statement had
been suspended for so doing ; and consequently af-
ter the 27th no other newspapers than the Espana,
Ministerialist, and the official journal would appear.
Me Cabinet will, therefore, have nothing to fear
from the press touching their measure before the
Cortes.

GERMANY.

• The following, dated the 29th, has been received
yesterday from Berlin :
The president of the Council opened the session this
day by a speech, in which he touched on the following
points :—The budget has been regulated according toe'
the requirements of the State, and according to the eco-
nomy and regularity which tradition has handed down.
Up to the present time the treaty of September has not
obtained the adhesion of all the States of the Zollverein.
That is to be regretted ; but the Government is convinced
that its conduct in this matter will receive the approba-
tion of the Chambers. Propositions will be made to
the two Chambers relative to the establishments of
new communications. The Government will present
to them bills on the organisation of the com-
munes and circles, and on the subject of the
First Chamber ; the latter will have for object to disen-
gage the Crown from the obstacles which are contrary
to the interests of the country. The Government is re-
solved not to submit to the influence of any party.; and
to make no attack upon legal liberty. But, on the other
hand, it desires that the royal authority shall not be
weakened by a division of power, which would be preju-
dicial to it. The legal course pursued in the develop-
ment of the Constitution will give an efficacious guaran-
tee to all rights, and lead to durable results."
The Official Gazette of Prussia states that on
the 26th ult. the Plenipotentiaries of Prussia and
of the States of Thuringia signed the treaty for the
prolongation of the Thuringian Customs and Com-
mercial Union ; and that on the 27th the accession
of the said States to the treaty of September 7,
1851, was also signed.

THE LEVANT.
By the Levant mail we have received Constan-
tinople journals to the 14th ult., Smyrna to the
12th, and Athens to the 17th ult. The former
state that, by -Imperial ordinance, Mgr. Anthimos,
Greek patriarch, had been dismissed, and the Greek
community, consisting of the chiefs of corporations,
primates, bishops, archbishops, and notable persons
had, in compliance with the recommendation of
the Government, elected M. Germanos, ex-patri-
arch, to the vacant office. The Government, in
addition to the measures it had adopted for pro-
moting education in different parts of the Empire,
had sent a number of professors and substitutes to
establish schools in Bosnia. The Imperial troops
had gained some more advantage over the rebel
Druces, at Hauran, near Damascus. Nechel Bey
has been appointed ambassador at Athens, in the
place of Kabouli Effendi, who has been appointed
Secretary to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at
Constantinople.
