The Moniteur publishps an amnesty granted to
deserters from the merchant service, on the same
terms and conditions as that lately granted to those
of the army and navy, and allowing different periods
for them to avail themselves of it, according to the
distance at which they may be at the time from

France.
The central commission of railways, which was
created to replace the general commission insti-
tuted in 1847, ceased to exist in 1851 ' • but it is
now said that the Government intends to institute
a new commission charged to decide on the oppor-
tuneness of the demands for new lines, and on the
precise direction to be taken by them. The large
number of demands for concessions referred to by
the Moniteur has, it is said, led to this measure.
The Government, it is added, will submit to the
commission a project for establishing secondary
lines, in which, as in 1842, the different directions
which it is desirable for them to take will be, indi-
cated, and the number of them will be limited.
A journal of the Dordogne says :—" As the
heavy rain prevented a great number of electors
from going to vote on the question of the Empire,
the electors who were prevented from voting has-
tened to make declarations to that effect to the
mayors. It appears that the mayors of 92 communes
of this department have forwarded proces-verbaux
to prove that upwards of 3000 electors were thus
prevented from voting."
General Lamorciere has returned to Bruss els,
where he intends to pass the greater part of the
winter.
The Patric states that two decrees are in contem-
plation, one to augment the number of the members
of the amber of Commerce from 15 to 21: and
the second relative to the commission to be levied
by agens de change, brokers, and insurance office
agents. The negotiation of commercial bills not
having more than six months to run is to be charged
one-eighth per cent., half to be paid by either party ;
but when the time is more than six months one-
eighth per cent. is to be paid by the buyer, and one-
fourth percent. by the seller. For negotiations in
the Rente, Industrial Shares, Bank Shares, and
Railway Securities, the commission is to be one
eighth per cent. on the net amount of the negocia-
tion, payable by each party. When for railway
shares the commission so levied shall be inferior to
50c. per share, the sum of 50c. shall nevertheless
be charged, one-half payable by the seller, and one-
half by the buyer. Lower charges than are at pre-
sent levied are also to be fixed for the sale of bran-
dies, wines, &c., and the commission to be charged
by the insurance-office agents is to be one per
thousand, whatever may be the rate of premium.
The inauguration of the bust of the Emperor at
the Marche des Enfants Rouges, took place on
Tuesday in presence of the Archbishop of Paris, the
mayor of the 7th arrondissement, and the other
functionaries of the district. The mayor delivered
a speech on the occasion in which he recapitulated
the immense services which had been rendered to
the country by the man who had been thrice elected.
by France as her head. This speech, which was lis-
tened to with the deepest attention, was, at its
close, followed by loud cries of " Vive rEmpereur."
The Archbishop afterwards delivered an allocution
suitable to the occasion, which produced the
deepest impression.
Public securities were heavy yesterday. The
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 106 f. 35c.,

closed at 82f. 15c.

THE CONTINENT.

SPAIN.

A telegraphic dispatch announces that General-
Narvaez has been ordered to quit Spain.
The Madrid Gazette of the 9th contains a noti-
fication from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to
the effect that the Queen of Spain has acceded to
the treaty of London of the Bth May, between the
great powers, relative to the succession of the
Danish Throne ' • and that this succession was
effected on the sth with the usual formalities.
The Gazette states that on the Ist the floating
debt of the Treasury was 354,628,48'7 reals, and
that a month before it was 356,205,303 reals. The
negotiation of Treasury Bonds during the month
of November was, says the Gazette, effected at 8
per cent. per annum for private persons, and at 6
cent. for the Bank and Messrs. Rothschild. In
consequence of acquittal by the jury, the Nation,
theNonedates, and the Clamor Public° had resumed
publication as political journals.

GERMANY.
In the last sitting of the Germanic Diet, says the
German Journal of Frankfort of the 13th, M. de
Bismarck-Schoenhausen announced that he had
received an official notification from the Minister
of France of the accession of Prince Louis Napoleon
to the Empire. The Diet resolved that it would
continue its official relations with the French Go-
vernment until further orders. "It is said," adds
the Gazette, " that the recognition of the new
French Empire will not take place until after the
Empire shall have been recognised by the different
States."
The Bavarian journals announce that M. de
Wendland, Bavarian ambassador in Paris, who
had been passing some time in Munich, left that
city on the 9th to return to his post. He was the
bearer, it is said, of new credentials.
Intelligence reached Mannheim on the 9th that
the students of Heidelberg intended to make a
demonstration in the night. Two companies of
infantry were immediately ordered to keep them-
selves in readiness to act at a moiient's notice, but
the night passed off peaceably.
The official journal of Berlin, of the 11th, an-
nounces that Prince Charles of Prussia had passed
a good night, and that, as no change was expected
to take place in his situation, which was favourable,
no more bulletins are to be published.

The Resorgintento of Turin, of the 11th, states
that the curates of Villareggia and San Giusto
(Piedmont) were arrested on the 7th, for having
spoken against the constitutional regime.
The examination of witnesses still continues at
Florence in the case of Guerrazzi and others, and,
generally speaking, the depositions are decidedly
in favour of the prisoners. It is believed, in Flo-
rence, that Romanelli will be acquitted ; as to
Guerrazzi his acquittal is not considered quite so
certain ; and great fears are entertained for the
other prisoners.
A letter from Florence, of the 7th, in the Cor-
riere Mercantile of Genoa, states that so many ex-
ceptions have been made to the measure by which
foreign refugees were to be expelled from Tuscany,
that in reality the whole measure is reduced to
this—that any refugee may reside in Tuscany, pro-
vided be has means of subsistence, quiet habits,
and respectable acquaintance. Permissions of re-
sidence have already been returned to a great
many refugees who had been deprived of them.
