CREWE STEEPLECHASES

CREWE STEEPLECHASES

The committee of the Corps Legislatif sat on
Sunday, and continued to examine and certify the
returns of votes on the plebiscite. It is now certain
that the result will be communicated to the As-
sembly on Wednesday, and borne by the whole
house to St. Cloud the same evening. The pro-
clamation of the Empire will be made next day at
the Tuileries, in presence of all the great bodies of
the State. The President will come to Paris from
St. Cloud on horseback, surrounded by his family,
by the Ministers, his staff, &c. All the army of

Paris will be under arms.
The Presse, in its weekly commercial bulletin,
says :—" There has been this week less activity in

the manufactories of Paris, most of the orders for
the new year, as regards the capital, having been
completed ; but there has been no great falling off
in the business for the departments, and new and
important orders have been received from abroad.
The manufacturers of articles of luxury and fancy,
called Articles de Paris, and especially of jewellery
and bronzes, have sent large quantities to foreign
countries, principally to the Brazils, Mexico, and
the Havanna, and also to the French West India,
colonies. The silk manufacturers at Lyons con-
tinue to execute orders for England and the United
States of America. Every packet from New York
brings fresh orders for rich silks and velvets, and
also for the manufactures of Mulhouse."
At the reception at Saint Cloud, on Saturday,
says the Constitutionnel, a member of the Legis-
lative body asked the Prince President whether the
time had not arrived for using the word Sire in
addressing him. The Prince smiled and replied,
" No, not yet ; let me enjoy the short time that is
still left to me (Laissez-moi jouir demon reste)."
A subscription is now being organised among the
deputies for a grand banquet to take place on the
2d December. The number of names already in-
scribed is very considerable.
The vote of the House of Commons on the
motion of Mr. Villiers, and the amendment of Sir
James Graham, is noticed in the leading columns
of nearly all the journals. The Pays enters into
on inquiry as to the probable effect -of this vote,
and in doing so indulges in remarks which indicate
anything but a desire that it should tend to the
consolidation of the Derby Ministry. Towards
Lord Palmerston the Pays is very complimentary,
and the influence which the noble lord has obtained
in the new House of Commons by the peculiar
policy which he has adopted, is regarded by the
Pays as of a nature to render his return to office
almost indispensable.
The Debats, in concluding its summary of the
proceedings in the House of Commons, says—
" This was the first time that the new Parliament was
called on to give a political vote, and that which it has
given is a proof of a difficult state of things. The last
elections appear not to have produced a decided majority
and serious embarrassments will necessarily result from
it. There must, however, be no exaggerations. The
representative regime practised by men so intelligent and
sincerely patriotic as the English possesses wonderful
elasticity and resources. We may be allowed to foresee,
in a not distant future, the necessity of a ministerial mo-
dification ; but the prudence and moderation, which
have presided over these long discussions, prove that
this modification will be made without effort and with-
out danger for the country."
It is now understood on all hands that all the
Foreign Powers will at once, and without any diffi-
culty, recognise the new order of things. M. de
Kisseleff has returned, charged with the instruc-
tions of the Northern Courts, which are of the
most satisfactory description, to the Government
of France. Several of the corps diplomatique have
already received from their respective Courts the
dispatches which recognise the Empire, and ac-
credit them as Ministers at the Court of Napoleon
111. There is a lively emulation amongst them as
to which shall be first to present his credentials. It
is a most curious fact that the Ministers who are
first in the field are the representatives of the
House of Bourbon, viz., the representatives of
Naples and of Spain.
During his term of office, Louis Napoleon has
reduced the French army by 76,000 men. It may
not be uninteresting to quote a valuable statistical
paper which has just been prepared, and which
shows how much Louis Napoleon has reduced the
very sinews of war. It appears, under the reign
of Louis Philippe, the credits allowed by the
Chamber for naval expenses amounted in-
-1846 140,247,101 fr.
1847 158,093,515
1848 153,615,777
The terrible financial disorders of 1848 forced
the Legislative Assembly to cut down the budget
of the navy in-
-1849 to 128,137,318
The Government of Prince Louis Napoleon has
actually made further reductions, and the b
dudge
for 1852 and 1853 show the following credits ts
al-
lowed to the navy :
1852 117,215,804 fr.
1853 117,181,001

the New Bank of Credit Mobilier, which opened

tical matters, in connection with certain revolu-
tionary pamphlets published in London.
The Cologne Gazette has the following from
Vienna, the 23d :

" On Thursday last, as the Count de Chambord was
returning to Frohsdorff from a hunting party, the horses
took fright, and he was thrown from his carriage, at a
slight distance from the place where four years ago he
broke his leg. On this occasion the count received no
injury."
In consequence of the devastated condition of
Hungary, the supply of provisions at Pesth is so
short, that prices have reached an enormous height.
Instead of trying to restore agriculture, or of en-
couraging imports, the Austrian Government fixes
a maximum of prices.
Intelligence from Frankfort states that negocia-
tions have been resumed between the Governments
of Austria and Prussia, with a view of arriving at
a settlement of the customs questions. It is stated
especially that the states of the coalition are in-
clined to accede to the treaty of September for
twelve years, but on condition that Prussia imme-
diately becomes a party to the treaty of commerce
of Vienna. As a similar report was current some
time ago, much reliance cannot be placed on the
present statement, especially as the Breslau Gazette,
of the 25th, states that the negociations between
the two Governments had been suspended for a
week, though, it adds, Count Buol Sehauenstein
had addressed a note to the Prussian Cabinet in-
viting it to resume them.

ITALY.
The funeral obsequies of Gioberti were celebrated
on the 23d in the church of the Corpus Domini, at
Turin. The following inscription was placed over
the church door :
" To the priest Vincenzo Gioberti, the ornament and
glory of the Civic Council of Turin the municipality of
his native city, which, by its own grief, judges of that of
all Italy, whose intelleotual and civil greatness was the
object of unceasing study and affection of that profound
philosopher and eloquent writer, offers ,up
tribute of prayers and tears." a solemn
The funeral procession left the church at 11 a.m.
It was headed by half a battalion of National
Guards ; the coffin was borne by forty National
Guards, who had volunteered to perform this office.
The Municipal Council and the staff of the Na-
tional Guard followed. The pall was held by the
Mayor, the Commander-in-Chief of the National
Guards, the President of the Chamber of Deputies,
and M. Gorresio of the Academy of Sciences. Depu-
tations of the Senate, -are Chamber of Deputies, the
University, the Academy of Sciences, the working
classes, the Italian refugees, and National Guard,
brought up the rear. The insignia of the priestly
office and of the degree of doctor were laid on the
coffin. The streets and windows were crowded
with spectators, quantities of flowers were showered
all along upon the coffin, and costly bouquets were
presented by the students and other bodies. Eighty
ecclesiastics awaited the body at the churchyard,
where, after due service performed in the chapel,
it was entombed in the vault destined to it. Up-
wards of 20,000 persons were present in the church-
yard, but not the slightest disorder occurred.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool-
sack at five o'clock.
Lord WODEHOUSE gave notice that he would to-
morrow put a question to the Government with respect
to the subject of the Clergy Reserve in Canada.

THE ENROLLED PENSIONERS.
Lord PANMURE rose to put a question to the Go-
vernment with respect to the body of Enrolled Pensioners
settled at Toronto. It would be in the recollection of
the house that in the year 1843, Lord Hardinge, then
Secretary-at-War, had thought it advantageous to the
public services to enrol a body of pensioners for service
in this country, to the number of 10,000, which he
(Lord Panmure), when Secretary-at-War, had increased,
with the consent of Parliament, to 30,000. The system
was found to work so well, and the services of these men
, so useful, that in 1847, Earl Grey at the Colonial-office,
and himself at the War-office, had determined to extend
the system to the Colonies, and bodies of en-
rolled pensioners had been sent out to New Zea-
land, Australia, Van Dieman's Land, and the Colonies.
The conditions on which they were sent out were, that
they should have a certain portion of land, with a house
for each man ; conditions which he believed had been
carried out except at Toronto, where there had been sent
out a body ofpensioners to the number of 220, who he be-
lieved at present had not yet been settled. He wished to
know whether it was true that these conditions had been
carried out, and whether it was the intention of the Go-
vernment, if they could not be carried out, to make any
compensation to the pensioners ?
The Earl of DERBY said, that whatever might be
his opinion of the original policy of the system of send-
ing out bodies of enrolled pensioners—and he must say he
thought it very doubtful—yet certainly it was the inten-
tion of the Government to keep faith with these men, to
fulfil, if possible, the conditions on which they had
been sent out, or otherwise to make them such compen-
sation as they themselves might ,think sufficient. He
could not help thinking that it would have been quite as
well if the Government who had sent out these men to
Toronto had taken pains first to ascertain whether there
was sufficient land at the disposal of the Ordnance autho-
rities to settle them. It turned out that there were at
Toronto only 400 acres disposable for this purpose, of
which 270 were leased to the corporation, and 9 more
were required by a railway company, the bill for which
was passed by the Colonial Legislature. There were
thus only about 120 acres disposable for the settlement
of 220 men. The matter had been very anxiously con-
sidered by the Secretary for the Colonies, and he had no
doubt but that at no very distant period a satisfactory
arrangement would be made.
After a few words from Lord PANMURE, the subject
dropped, and their lordships adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YEkERDAY).
The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four
o'clock.
