The Moniteur has the following with regard to
tho Turkish loan—" Letters from Constantinople, of
the 15th of October, announce that the Poite has
decidEcily refused the ratification of the loan nego-
ciated some weeks ego in London and in Paris. This
news is alone exact of all that has been brought
forward on the subject of this loan affair."
The official journal contains a good many appoint-
ments_ in different branches of the magistracy. There
is a batch of decorations of the Legion of Honour,
and the military medal is confered on several
marines.

Asa proof of the great change in public opinion in
the arrondisement of Avesnes (Nord), which, at the
time of the presidential election on the 10th Decem-
ber, 1848, was most hostile to Louis Napoleon, we
now find that out of the 1.53 communes of which the
arrondissement is composed, 152 have demanded the
re-establishment of the Empire. The number of
communes in the Meuse, which have sent petitions to
the Senate to the same effect, amount to .586, having
57,470 signatures; 198 of the recsntly-renewed
Municipal Ct,uncils of the Loire Inferieure, have
sant addresses praying for the Empire. In the
Maine-et Loire fresh addresses arrive at the Pre-
fecture every day; the number already amounts
to 200.
We read in the Constitutionvel:—" Since the Go-
vernment has determined to extirpate bandittism
in
Corsica, the local administration has redoubled its
-.cavity and energy. Important results have been
:already obtained. It is known that two formidable
bandits, named Padovana and Framoni, have been,
the first, killed in an encounter with the gendarmes,
and the second, arrested. Framoni, in particular,
was one of the most dangerous offenders that could,
be met with. He is shortly to be tried by the Court
of Assizes. We learn that two other bandits, Domi-
uique Cesari, surnamed Sperato, and Cesar Barton,
have been lately killed by the gendarmes. Sperato
was a man of extreme audacity and almost superhu-
man strength, who had succeeded in terrifying the
neighbourhood of Spartena, his principal haunt. He
was the type of the bandit who hired out his carbine
to the vengeance of others. Barteli explored the ar-
rondissement of Corta, and they were together when
Surprised by the gendarmerie. They made a despe-
rate resistance, and some of the men attacking them
were wounded. The letters, which inform us of these
results, state that in consequence of the determination
of the authorities to punish severely whatever persons
harbour bandits in Corsica, these latter are left com-
paratively defenceless, and can in consequence be
more easily laid hands on. Several of them, in de-
spair of being able to continue their odious occupation,
have asked leave to be allowed to proceed to Sardinia.
The news of the death of Sperato, who passed for
being almost invincible, will produce the greatest
consternation amongst them. The event was greeted
with the greatest joy in the arrondissements of Corte
and Sartena."

BELGIUM.

The King of the Belgians, with his family, left
Brussels on Wednesday morning by a special train
,or.Tirlemont, to meet Queen Marie Amelie, the
Prince de Joinville, and the Duchess of Orleans
;oming from Germany, en route for England. From
rirlemont his Majesty was to accompany his august
relatives as far as the station of Weckeren, whence
'he special train would proceed to Ostend.
We read in the Emancipation of Brussels of Wed-
nesday :—" At the close of the sitting of the Chamber,
a courier was dispatched to M. Henri de Brouckere,
at Anderghem. He is sent for by the King. The
ministry which he has been charged to form will ap-
pear in the Moniteur to-morrow, or the day after."

The Pays has the following on the ministerial cri-
sis in Belgium :
" We are now in possession of more details relative
to the different incidents of the vote, which led to the
election of M. Delfosse, as President of the Belgian
Chamber of Representatives. It was not until the
iecond ballot that he was elected. Wo yesterday re-
marked that this feeble numerical majority was evidently
insufficient to serve as the ba.is of an homogeneous and
durable ministry. In fact, after the first success this
uncertain majority dissolved itself, and the Chamber
came to different contradictory votes. It was thus that
NI. Vilain XIV., member of the Catholic party, was
Immediately elected first Vice-President, by a majority
of 57 to 44, and afterwards by a fresh change the votes
were given to 31. Veidt, the liberal candidate, who was
elected second Vice-President by 53 to 48, The Secre-
taries comprise two liberals, MM. Martens and Ansiaux;
one Catholic, M. Vermeire, and ono of the neutral party.
M. Dumont ; and the two Questors are H. Baillet, a
moderate liberal, and M. Secus,A pure Catholic. Evidently
there are in these facts symptoms of political dissolution in
the Belgian parliament, which appear tons of the greatest
gravity. Public opinion ;knows not on what to fix ;
it waves between men and parties at the hazard of
events, and at the caprice of ballots. We know not with
what resolution this difficult situation will inspire the
Sovereign of Belgium ; but in truth with the elements
of which the parliament is now composed it is almost
impossible to foresee how this long crisis will terminate.
M. Delfosse, in taking possession of the Presidential
chair, invited parties to union and concord ; it is diffi-
cult to believe that this wish Can be realised. M. do
Brouckere at least thinks so. It is in fact announced
that he has been again sent for by the King, and that ho
nes formally declined the mission of forming a Cabinet.
The late ballot, ho said, proved that the old majority
was broken up. But, if that be true, the fluctuations of
the parliamentary votes equally prove that there has not
Yet been formed a compact majority capable of support-
ing a now administration. Thus, for three months Bel
gium has been delivered up to an insoluble crisis, without
a ministry since the old one has resigned, and without a
parliament, for there exists no real majority, in face of
that irresponsible fiction called Constitutional Royalty.
We leave this sfffictieg state of affairs to the meditation
of all the partisans of Parliamentary regime."
