Two telegraphic dispatches were received in Paris
on Sunday evening.
The first, dated from St. Etienne, 11 o'clock A.m.,
announces the departure of the Prince for Lyons by
the railway.
The second dispatch is dated Lyons, 20 minutes past
4 o'clock. The Prince-President has just arrived,
and experienced a reception described as still more
enthusiastic than that he had met in any other town
he had visited. " Vive rEmpereur l" " Vive Na-
poleon 111 !" were the only cries uttered by the popu-
lation and the troops.
The new Municipal Council of Toulon, installed on
the 13th, placed a credit of 100,000 f. at the disposal of
the Mayor, for the reception of the President.
Five battalions of infantry and two squadrons of
hussars have been ordered to Marseilles for the pas-
sage of Louis Napoleon.
The Droit Commun cites the following incident,
during the stay of the President at Bourges :
" The parish priest of Henrichmont, the senior mem-
ber of the clergy of Bourges, now in his hundredth
year, bat who has preserved the use of nearly all his
faculties, had caused himself to be carried to the Arch-
bishopric, where, seated in an arm-chair, he attracted the
notice of the Prince, who addressed him with much
kindness. The venerable clergyman said to him:—
`Monseigneur—Three of my parishioners are at Lam-
bessa, in Algeria. Three families claim them with tears
and supplications. Although deluded, they are my
children, for it was I who initiated them to the religion
of Jesus Christ, by the holy baptism. They are my
children, for I presided at the most important rites of
their life, and I now come to implore their pardon from
your Highness, too happy, if, at the close of my ex-
istence, I can render that service to men whose protector
and father I still consider myself, notwithstanding their
fault."
He then handed a petition to the Prince, who ac-
cepted it, saying :—" Monsieur le Cure,—You may,
be certain that your demand shall be taken into seri-
ous consideration, and that orders shall be given in
consequence."
Several other families of political offenders also
implored and obtained their pardon. Amongst
them is a lady, a mother of a family, well known for
her excellent sentiments, at whose request the Pre-
sident granted her husband leave to return to his
home.

The 211oniteur publishes 50 addresses, voted by as
many municipal councils of the department of the
Nievre, which were presented to the President on his
passage through Nevers. They all demand the re-
establishment of the Empire in the person of Louis
Napoleon and his desewadante.

SWEDEN.
On the 91 the Governor of Gothenburg reported
several cases of supposed Asiatic cholera as having
appeared about three miles from that place, whith
had all ended fatally. The Government imme-
diately made preparations for establishing a quaran-
tine at Gotha-Elf, in case the disease should spread.
The cases were supposed to be what is called sporadic
cholera.

RUSSIA.
The Emperor of Russia, by decree dated the Bth,
relieves General Tehernyscheff, on his demand.
from ;be post of Minister of War, which he has held
for twenty-five
years, and appoints Prince Dalgt—
rouki, who was joined with him in the departmenr,
as his successor. The decree en'tcts that the Generai
shall retain the presidency of the Council of the
Empire. It also nominates Generals Berg and Ig-
natieff members of the Council of the Empire, and
makes different promotions in the suoerior ranks of
the Russian army.
The Russian consul at Jassy recently communi-
cated to the Hospodar of Moldavia a decree approving
of the mortgage bank just established in that place.
Two years ago, Rus;ia refused to sanction a similar
bank because it had been got up under the auspices
of the Prussian consul.
A latter received in Paris from St. Petersburgb, of
the 6th instant, states that the apostate Bishop of
Smolensko has sent a circular letter to the various
members of the clergy he had induced to follow bini
in his schism in the year 1839, announcing that he is
determined to do penance in a convent until his death.
He concludes by beseeching the clergy and the people
whom he led away at that period to return to tho
bosom of the Catholic Church. The Russian Go-
vernment, having been informed of this circular, have
announced that the Bishop is insane,
