THE FIIEICI-1 EMPIRE.

graphic dispatch from Constantinople, of the 14th.
The Sultan has yielded on every point, and the
triumph of Russia is complete. The French Go-
vernment has not published the news to its full
extent, but there is no doubt of the fact.
The Emperor and Empress, on Thursday,
honoured the promenade of Longchamps with their
presence for some time. The Emperor, accom-
panied by General Canrobert, proceeded on Wed-
nesday, about half-past three, into the garden of
the Tuileries, and walked there for some time.
A telegraphic dispatch has been received, an-
nouncing that a sensible improvement has taken
place in the health of Marshal St. Arnaud. M.
de Place, chef d'escadron of the etect-major, and
aide-de-camp of the Minister of War, has left Paris
to join him at Hyeres.

late governor of the Invalides, will be performed

Court of Bavaria, arrived on Wednesday in Paris.
The Moniteur publishes another list of 41 per-
sons, who had been sentenced to various degrees
of punishment for the part they took in the events
of December, 1851, and who are now pardoned by
the Emperor.
The Erigone frigate has just arrived at Brest
from Guadaloupe, which island she left on the 23d
of February last. She brings 545 military passen-
gers. At her departure the sanitary state of the
French West India islands was greatly ameliorated.
By the last accounts received from Sydney, a
number of Frenchmen had returned from the gold
diggings, and had demanded from the French con-
sul to be sent home to their native country.
Perichaud, who was sent for trial before a coun-
cil-of-war for the assassination of the Archbishop
of Paris, has been found not guilty, but has been
sentenced to transportation for having taken part
in the insurrection of June, 1848.

SPAIN. -
The Madrid journals of the 20th are totally des-
titute of interest. We learn by express that, in
the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on the 21st,
the Ministry presented a bill demanding authority
to continue to collect the taxes. M. de Salamanca,
who had returned from London, had brought ac-
counts favourable to the negotiations for a loan.
This announcement had caused a rise at the
Bourse.
The Diario de Sevilla states that oa the 12th
the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier narrowly
escaped a serious accident. On turning a corner
of one of the streets, the hind wheel of the carriage
came with such violence rgainst a post that the
pole was broken, and the six horses being released
by the breaking of the traces, ran off. Fortunately
no other mischief was done, and the Duke and
Duchess returned on foot to their palace.
