FRANCE.

In the last sitting of the Council-General of the
Loire, the Prefect st4ted that the election of M. Jules
Fav:e and M. Sain fur St. Lienne was null, as they
did not possess the qualification required by article
14 of the decree of the 3d September, 1848 ; also that
they had written to him to say that they would not
take the oath ; and he announced that he had, in con-
sequence, communicated the minutes of the election to
the Procureur of the Republic at St. Etienne, in order
that it might he formally annulled by the competent
authorities.

The Toulonnais states that the steamer the Sala-
mandre has gone to Naples with orders to the squad-
ron of evolutions to return to Toulon to take part in
the fetes to be given to the Prince President of the
Republic.

The President of the Republic has sent a sum of
5,000 f. to the Prefect of the Isere for the relief of the
victims of the late inundation.
The Tribune of Beaune states that Mgr. Pallegoix,
Bishop of Mallon and Vicar-Apostolical of Siam,
lately presented to the President of the Republic two
young Siamese, who have come to France for their
education. They presented the following address in
their own language to the President :
" We, Xoru and Keo, natives of the kingdom Thai,
prostrate ourselves before him who governs France. We
pray the Lord of Heaven to protect your Highness, so
that you may govern this kingdom with peace and glory,
and that he rosy accord you a prosperous life for a thou-
sand years." (Terms used in Siam to express ardent
wishes for the prosperity and longevity of sovereigns.)
They then offered the Prince, one, a Japan box
encrusted with mother-of-pearl, and the other, a book
of Chinese pictures. The Prince, after smiling at
the last expression of the address, caressed the young
visitors, making them sit down by him. Mgr. Pallefoix
then expressed from the King of Siam his felicitations
on Louis Napoleon's accession to the place of
President, and his assurances of friendship. The
Prince having expressed some surprise that the
King of Siam knew anything about him, was in-
formed that his uncle's name was well known
in Siam, and his picture to be found there frequently.
The King, he said, would be much pleased to have
relations of commerce re-established between France_
iV
and Siam, as was the case in the time of Louis
Mgr. Pallegoix then brought under the notice of the
President his own desire to have a Siamese dictionary
printed, the manuscript of which he had brought
with him to France ; the President promised to have
the matter taken into consideration. At the termi-
nation of the audience, Louis Napoleon gave to each
of the lads a gold pin surmounted by an eagle, hold-
ing in its beak a laurel-branch adorned with brilliants.
The first representation of a new piece at the Vau.
deville Theatre on Monday night created no little sen-
sation, in the most unexpected manner. The sub-
ject was borrowed from the Guy Nannering of Sir
Walter Scott, and on the recurrence of the words
reviendra," alluding to the return of the lost
heir of the rightful family in the song of Meg
Merriles, much applause was bestowed by the Legiti-
mist portion of the spectators. Some confusion began
to be created, which was greatly increased when,
upon the character of Glossin reversing the device of
the Bertram family, and declaring that with him
might was right, a still greater storm of applause
broke out. Yesterday morning the piece was sup-
pressed by an order of police, and removed from the
bills.

ITALY.
The Venice Gazette of the 22d has the following
official notification issued by the Imperial Lieutenant
of the Venetian provinces : :
"His Imp. and R. Apostolic Majesty bas, by asove-
reign resolution of the 13th of July, been graciously
pleased to ordain as follows:-1st. The loan decreed by
the late revolutionary government of Venice (except the
debt resulting from the alienation of deposits) shall have
no legal validity or efficacy, and therefore no obligation
can be founded upon it, either for private persons, or the
legitimate government. 2dly. Both the paper money,
issued by the revolutionary government under the name
of carta patriotica, and the vaglia (treasury bonds) in-
tendeeLto pay off the said paper, peat of which are still
lying" the the Bank of Venice, and proceed from the loan
imposed by the insurrectionary government, are to be
considered as completely null and void. No claim upon
the Bank of Venice can therefore be admitted on ac-
count of the vaglia issued; the said establishment,
founded by the revolutionary government, being shortly
destined to be dissolved; and the judicial authorities
cannot accept any petition on the matter. The vaglia
still existing at the Bank shall be restored to the owners,
who shall give a receipt for them. This is publicly noti-
fied, agreeably to the dispatch of the 28th of July last,
of the I. and R. Minister of Finance, and to the act of
capitulation of Venice of the 22d of August, 1849, as
also to the notification of the 2d of October of the same
year, issued by the I. and R. civil and military govern-
ment of Venice, by which the claims upon the Bank of
Venice for the vaglia were suspended."
