PARIS, FEB. 17.
The reading of the address took place to-day in
he Senate.

The following is a summary of those paragraphs
of it relating to foreign affairs :
The address congratulates the Emperor on the
amicable relations of his Majesty's Government with
foreign Powers, and continues—" We hope that
the expedition to Mexico will procure entire satis-
faction for the interests of our countrymen. The
documents recently communicated to the house
prove how greatly the Senate was justified in
placing confidence in your Majesty as regards the
Italian question. Your Majesty's Government,
while taking into consideration international exi-
gencies, has not lost sight of the interests of Catho-
licism. You will continue, Sire, in your policy of
protection and conciliation, as we shall continue to
place confidence in that policy. You will doubtless
experience the regretthat we earnestly feel at meet-
ing sometimes with ardour and immoderate preten-
sions, and sometimes with resistance and torpidity.
But your counsels are those of wisdom, and in the
name of this wisdom we must not tire of stating
that the greatest works cannot be carried out with-
out calm and moderation, in order to become well
established, and that causes the most just are some-
times endangered by extreme refusals, which are
incompatible with a good direction of human
affairs!'

TURIN, FEB. 17.

To-day, in the Chamber of Deputies, the postal
conventions between the Italian Government and
Switzerland and Greece were approved of,

Signor La Farini expressed a wish that a similar
convention should be concluded with Prussia,

To this Baron Ricasoli replied that he bad
always sought that the Italian cause should not
become isolated in its relations with other nations.
Among those who have displayed towards Italy the
greatest sympathy, said Baron Ricasoli, is the
Prussian Government, which has likewise mani-
fested sentiments favourable to our cause. The
Prussian representative has always remained at
Turin, as our representative remains at Berlin.
The Italian envoy was received with sympathies
and honours during the coronation of the king of
Prussia.

In conclusion Baron Ricasoli eulogised the mag
nanimity of the Prussian Government and people.

FRANCE.

PARIS, FEB. 17.

The Tribunal of Commerce of the Seine has re-
cently given a decision of interest to the commercial
world, as showing the danger of paying second
bills of exchange without requiring the presenta-
tion of the first. In July last, two bills of ex-
change, at three months' date, each for 7,200 f., in
firsts and seconds, were drawn on MM. de Roths-
child, of Paris, by the Bank of St. Petersburg, to
the order of General Nikita de Vsevolojski. On
the 30th July, the General presented the seconds of
these bills at Rothschild's, and requested to have
them paid beforehand, deducting discount. He
declared that the firsts had been lost, and MM. de
Rothschild handed him the amount. However,
when the bills fell due, the firsts were also pre-
sented by M. Valentin Alarx, to whom they had
been regularly passed by the General's son Vsevolod
de Osevoloksi on the 25th July. MM. de Roths-
child refused to pay them, on the ground that
Marx was not their legal holder. The latter,
therefore, sued MM. de Rothschild for the amount,
and, having proved that they had been negotiated
to him by the General's son, who held his father's
power of attorney, the Tribunal condemned MM.
Rothschild to pay the amount claimed, with
interest and costs.
