COPENHAGEN, Nov. 9.

The third extraordinary session of the Rigsraad
was closed yesterday by Count Frijs, the new Pre-
mier, reading the following Royal message :
We, Christian IX., King of Denmark, &c.,
to our faithful Rigsraad, greeting. In our message
addressed to the Rigsraad at the opening of the
present extraordinary session we specially recom-
mended that the assembly should use its utmost
efforts towards bringing about a speedy and satisfac-
tory solution of the constitution question. We re-
joice to see this wish fulfilled, now that it has been
found possible to obtain a basis for further prose-
cution of the question by the unity of the two
Chambers of the Rigsraad, and we have therefore
been able to associate ourselves therewith, in the
assured conviction that by this course the freedom
and prosperity of the country will be secured.
"We have observed with especial satisfaction
the readiness with which the Rigsraad has supported
our paternal wish to relieve the great burden im-
posed by the war upon a portion of our dear and
faithful subjects, and we close this third extraor-
dinary session of the Rigsraad with the hope that,
with the gracious aid of Providence, success may
attend the co-operation of the Government and the
people in working out the well-being of the coun-
try.

" We remain well inclined to the Rigsraad in
Royal grace and favour.
" Given at our Castle of Amalienberg, this Bth
day of November, 1865, under our Royal hand and
seal.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Nov. 13.

The Minister of Public Instruction has addressed
a report to the Emperor, dated Nov. 8, recommend-
ing that in the Paris International Exhibition of
1867 there should be a representation of the pro-

gress made by the moral and political sciences in
France during the last 20 years, by means of a series

of reports from eminent men upon the several
branches of these subjects.
The Minister's report is as follows ;
" Sire,—The idea of periodical exhibitions is en-
tirely French. It dates from Louis XIV. for the
fine arts, from the revolution for trade ; and France,
after having given it to the wolld, has unceasingly
enlarged its proportions, in order to render it more
fruitful.
"As far back as sixteen years ago, sire, you
wished to unite all the nations to these grand
solemnities.
" It was England who realised this idea, and saw
the first International Exhibition.
" The palace in Hyde-park only received in
1851 objects furnished by nature herself or by
human industry. In 1855 the Emperor decided
that the two previous French Exhibitions should be
united. Art was placed side by side with manufac-
tures.
"Amid the magnificence displayed in London in
1862, it was recognised that the most precious in-
strument of labour was still man, and that the
productive value of the workman would be increased
by augmenting his intellectual value. The English
Commission created a special class of popular in-
struction with this same object—the Imperial Corn-
mission has just established two.

" But international exhibitions tend to become
the complete representation of modern society in all
its modes of activity. After having placed art by
the side of manufactures, which it embellishes and
elevates, your Majesty wished to place pure science
near the applications which are only its outward
manifestation. While the Emperor directs the
study of the questions which will lead to the disco-
very of that organisation which, since the destruc-
tion of trade corporations, the mercantile world has
been constantly seeking, you desire, Sire, that it
be demanded of the moral and political sciences
what they have produced to ameliorate the state of
society, and of French literature what it has done
to elevate the soul of the nation.

" The way of realising this idea is simple. Let
the Emperor deign to authoriie the Minister of
Public Instruction to be an exhibitor. If his pro-
ductions occupy a small space under a very modest
form, they will none the less attract attention, and
I do not hesitate to say that several will survive the
triumphs of their more brilliant neighbours, since
the one much more than the other expresses the
mind of France.

" I have already secured the support of eminent
men, who will describe in a series of reports, bear-
ing their signature, in order that each may
have the honour as well as the responsibility of his
work.

" 1. The progress accomplished in France in the
mathematical, physical, and natural sciences during
the last 20 years; that is to say, since the era of great
exhibitions.

" 2. The progress accomplished by the moral and
political sciences in their application to the necessi-
ties of society.
" 3. The part fulfilled by French literature, which
should be studied less in point of form, which is the
mission of literary criticism, than in its effects upon
the general education of the country. At the
Exhibition Palace, in the midst of those material
products which are a pledge of national welfare, the
liberal arts can only enter by showing that they
bring to a people, not only noble amusement, but
moral strength and dignity.
" The Emperor, whose solicitude extends from
the simple teaching of the infant school to the
highest speculations of science, cannot give a more
useful encouragement to the latter than this picture
of the efforts, the greatness, and even, in certain
points, the defects of the mind of France.

" If foreign nations thought fit to make a similar
examination of themselves, it would no longer only
be by the inventions of each other that all would
profit. By a comparison of the progress accom-
plished in various parts in scientific and moral order
every people would enter the paths of fresh progress,
the level of civilisation would rise, and an additional
guarantee would be given for the peace of the
world.--•I am, &c.,
" The Minister of Public Instruction,
" V. DURUY.

PRUSSIA.

The Zeidler Correspondence of Berlin on the sub-
ject of a visit paid by the Chevalier Nigra to Count
de Bismarck, during the stay of the latter in Paris,
says

"The fact that the President of the Prussian
Council receives the Ambassador of a great
State whose Sovereign has been recognised by
Prussia is sufficiently explained by the ordinary
rules of courtesy. A Prussian statesman has
no reason for not receiving the visit of the
representative of a Power which entertains no sen-
timents hostile to his country. As to the part played
by Italian aspirations in this matter, and on the
calculations of Prussian policy, its importance can-
not be either increased or diminished by such a
visit, inasmuch as that part is quite independent of
any act of courtesy."
The subjoined is taken from a Berlin letter :--
"For some time past rumours have been current
of a proposed arrangement between Prussia and
Austria relative to the Duchies of the Elbe, and it
is even asserted that certain persons about the
Emperor Francis Joseph would be well pleased
to see Austria dispose of her share of the condo-
minium for a pecuniary indemnity. These per-
sons proceed on the conclusion that Prussia has
no territorial compensation to offer, and that,
on the other hand, Austria cannot long
continue to administer the Duchy of Holstein. It
is true that Prussia might guarantee the possession
of Venetia in exchange for the Duchies ; but the
Cabinet of Berlin will never accede to that
arrangement. Such, at least, is the opinion
entertained in all political circles, even those in
which the feudal party predominates; every-
body is persuaded that Count de Bismarck will
not enter into any engagement beforehand on the
eventuality of a war in Italy. Whatever truth there
may be in 'the above reports, it is certain that at
Berlin no doubts are entertained of ultimate success
in the affair of the Duchies."

AMERICA.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3, Evening.

Mr. Seward has informed the provisional gover-

tion by the Legislature of the constitutional amend-
ment abolishing slavery as an indispensable prelimi-
nary to the restoration of the State to the Union.
It is semi-officially announced that James Orr,
the governor elect of South Carolina, has been
pardoned ; but as South Carolina has not repu-
diated the rebel debt, she has failed to prepare
herself for official recognition as a State loyal to
the Union.

President Johnson has instructed the Governor
of Arkansas to continue the re-organisation and
restoration of the State to the Union, and that the
Government would not interfere with his proceed-
ings.

The New York Herald asserts that Secretary
Welles has ordered the chiefs of the navy yards to
prepare all the ironclads for sea, and that Mr.
Stanton has stopped all sales of army waggons,
means of transport, and material. The Herald at-
tributes this to the desire of the Administration to
be prepared against any sudden Fenian move-
ment.

President Johnson has informed the Governor of
Georgia that the people should not hesitate to repu-
diate the rebel debt, as they never will nor can be
taxed to meet that liability.

Seward has prepared a reply to Earl Russell's last
despatch to Mr. Adams concerning the appointment
of a commission for adjudicating upon the claims
against the British Government.

crowded audience.

SIR CHARLES Woon.---From the latest accounts
received of the health of Sir Charles Wood there
is good reason to hope that he will not be confined to his
room for more than a few days in consequence of his recent
accident. Dr. Kenyon, his medical attendant, after a care-
ful examination, reports that the injury to the head is
confined to an abrasion of the skin, the principal injury
sustained being the shock to the system occasioned by the
sudden fall from his horse and his being thrown against
the wall. Dr. Kenyon believes that his recovery in a few
days may be fairly anticipated. The presentation of the
Halifax testimonial to Sir Charles will take place shortly-
On the severance of his connection with the borough at

Palace of St. Cloud, Nov. 12, 1865.—My dear Couisin,--I
am anxious to tell you how satisfied I have been with inf
visit to Korn er-Houet. You have now lived seven years
in a country but recently almost uncultivated, amid worthy
Bretons, having in view the progress of agriculture and the
increase of the population which surrounds you. The
success you have obtained by an exemplary perseverance
deserves all my eulogies., and in encouraging you to continue,
I renew to you the assurance of my sincere friendship.
Your affectionate cousin, NAPOLEON."

NOMINATION OF SHERlFFS.—Yesterday morning
the nomination of sheriffs for the various counties of
England and Wales, with the exception of Lancashire and
Cornwall, took place in the Court of Exchequer, which was
crowded with visitors to witness the ceremony. The Right
Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., Chancellor of the Exchequer,
habited in his magnificent gold robes of office, took his
place on the bench, being accompanied by the Lord Chan-
cellor, the Earl Granville, President of the Council ; Sir a•
Grey, Bart., M.P., Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment ; Sir Alex. Cockburn, Bart., Lord Chief Justice of
England ; Sir Wm. Erie, Lord Chief Justice of the Court
of Common Pleas ; Sir Fredk. Pollock, Lord Chief Baron
of the Exchequer ; Mr. Baron Chemical, Mr. Baron Bram-
well, Mr. Baron Pigott, Mr. Justice Mellor, Mr. Justice
Shoe, Sic. The oath was administered to the Chancellor
of the Exchequer and the other distinguished persons
present by the Queen's Remembrancer in the quaint old
Norman French, after which he read out the counties of
England and Wales in alphabetical order, and then the
names of those gentlemen who were returned last year as
liable to serve the office of sheriff, one of them having been
subsequently "pricked" as sheriff by the Queen in Council.
His name was subsequently struck off the list, and another
added by the judge who last went the circuit in which the
county is situate. The counties of England and Wale°
were then gone over seriatim, and the names of three gen-
tlemen from each county were handed over to the Quesn'S
Remembrancer, to be by him enrolled as liable to serve the
office next year. The pricking will take place by the
Queen in Council in January, and the gentlemen in each
county upon whom the lot falls will in February enter
upon his year of shrievalty. Many curious excuses worn
as usual tendered by gentlemen who wished to escape ser-
vice. In a few cases only the excuses were held to be
valid, and then the names were struck out, others being
substituted; but where the objector did not make out
strong case the name was retained. When the lists for
England and Wales were completed, the' members of the
Government and learned judges retired from the court.
