THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

The Constitutionnel announces that the French
Ambassador had notified to Count Buol, the Aus-
trian Minister for Foreign Affairs, the advent to
the throne of Napoleon 111., and had been met
with assurances of the most friendly character.
The representative of the Free Cities was about
to receive credentials to the Emperor.
It is rumoured that the Emperor intends paying
a visit to La Vendee.

The Itioniteur contains an amnesty for tres-
passes and other, minor offences of a like character,
and has, moreover, the following statement
‘-‘ The Emperor, as we have already said, has felt
desirous of inaugurating his reign by good deeds and
acts of clemency. Every day sees realised the generous
intentions of his Majesty in favour of persons condemned
by the Mixed Commissions. The Emperor signed, on
the 2d, the pardon of 290 persons transported or ex-
pelled. On the 4th 402 became objects of clemency.
On the 6th 46; and on the Bth 164 were authorised to
return to their homes. In fine, 702 political convicts
have, since the proclamation of the Empire, been re-
stored to their families. The work still goes on, for
submissions are pouring in. Pardons or commutations
have been, besides, accorded in a pretty large number to
prisoners at the bagnios, central houses, or prisons, who
by their good conduct and their penitence have created
titles to indulgence."
The four " Grand Officers of the Crown" will, it
is said, be the Duke of Bassano, the Duke 4
Guiche, the Prince de Bauffremont, and the Duke
de Mouchy. The Palais Royal is to become the
future residence of the Wince Jerome Bonaparte
and his sons, who now ,bear the title of Princes
Francais.
:.....11—Lemonnier, who has been :lately appointed
jeweller to the Emperor, is at present preparinsi
the Imperial Crown. It is said that this crown,
including the diamonds in the old regal crown, will
be worth 23,000,000 f.

In Algeria, General Yousouf had met with con-
siderable resistance before Laghouat, and had been
compelled to send for reinforcements. The Moniteur
Algerien of the sth gives some further accounts on
the subject. General Pelissier, to whom General
Yousouf had applied for some additional forces,
was encamped at El Brod, on the Oued-Sidi-Naceur,
and immediately on hearing of the unexpected re-
sistance made to General Yousouf marched towards
Laghouat. The junction of the two columns was
expected to take place about the 2d, when it was
expected that Laghouat would soon fall. The Go-
vernor-General, in order to control all eventuali-
ties, has ordered two columns of reserve, each of
four battalions, to be organised, one at Boghar,
and the other at Boneada, with a strong detach-.
ment of engineers and every materiel necessary to
overcome any resistance.
The Governor-General, who left Algiers on the
Ist, will arrive in a few days at Boghar, and march
on Laghouat with the reserve, and take the general
direction of the operations. The heavy rains will
in some measure impede the march of the troops
on Boghar, as the lower roads are in some places
intercepted, but the passage over the mountains
still remains open.
