We read in the Moniteur

" France has just been put in possession of an histori-
cal monuirent, which is directly connected with the
most glorious, and at the same time the most melancholy
reminiscences of the present century, and which had
hitherto been wanting to our national archives. The
will of Napoleon 1., written throughout with his own
hand, at Longwood, on April 15, 1821, had, after his
death, been deposited in the Prerogative Court of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, or Doctors' Commons, where
all wills are preserved in England ; and it was there
kept for 32 years, unknown to the greatest number, and
visited with a respectful eagerness by those who were
aware of its existence. The Emperor Napoleon 111.
desired to give to this prscious deposit a place more
worthy of it and of imperial France, and to restore
to that French people, which the Emperor loved
so well,' the very pages on which his dying hand
traced the expression of that wish, since then ac-
complished, Let my ashes repose on the banks of
the Seine.' Towards the end of last year, and by
order of his Imperial Majesty, M. Drouyn-de-Lhuys,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, charged Count Walew-
ski, the French Ambassador at London, to apply to
the Government of her Britannic Majesty to have the
will of Napoleon I. given up to France. The Earl of
Malmesbury, then principal Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, received, in the name of the Govern-
ment of the Queen, and with the most cordial readi-
ness, the overture of Count Walewski. He pro-
mised the Ambassador that he would apply to the
proper authorities at Doctors' Commons to induce
them, contrary to all precedent, to give up the Em-
peror's will ; and he pledged himself, in case the English
law did not warrant such a course, to present to Parlia-
ment a special bill to authorise them exceptionally to
take from their archives a document of that importance.
However, the exigencies of the law and of custom were
able to be conciliated with the readiness which the pre-
sent Ministry of her Britannic Majesty evinced in just
as great a degree as that of which Lord Malmesbury was
a member, and, on the requisition of the Proctor of the
Crown, the Court of Doctors' Commons issued, on the
16th of February last, an order to the effect that the will
and its codicils should be handed over to the judicial
authorities of France. In execution of that order, the
will with its annexes, which had been placed in the hands
of the Earl of Clarendon, principal Secretary of State of
her Britannic Majesty for Foreign Affairs, was delivered
up by him to Count Walewski, who charged M. Charles
Baudin, First Secretary of the French Embassy at Lon-
don, to take it to Paris. M. Charles Baudin, conducted
to the Emperor by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, had
the honour of presenting the will to his Imperial Ma-
jesty in the name of Count Walewski. By his Majesty's
orders it was then taken to the President of the Tri-
bunal of Premiere Instance of the Seine, who, according
to the prescriptions of the French law, registered and
signed it, and then handed it over to M. Casimir
Noel, notary to the Imperial family, after having had
all these formalities duly attested. The will and its
codicils, entirely written by the hand of the Emperor,
bearing his signature and sealed with his arms, do
not, however, contain any clause that has not been ong
since printed textually. An authentic copy will remain
deposited in the office of M. Noel, and the original will,
by the Emperor's orders, be placed in the national
archives. The Emperor, wishing to testify to Lord
Clarendon the satisfaction which he felt at the restitu-
tion to France of so remarkable a document, and at the
readiness which the Government of her Britannic
Majesty had exhibited, addressed a letter to that effect
to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Queen Victoria.
His Majesty, through his Ambassador at London, has
been pleased to present to Mr. Dyke, Proctor to the
Crown of England, a gold snuff-box, with the Imperial
cipher in diamonds on the lid, in return for the steps
which he had taken in the Court of the Archbishop at
Canterbury to obtain possession of the testament."
The Minister of Police has issued a circular to
prefects relative to the rules which are to guide
them in their conduct towards political refugees.
None of such persons can be permitted to reside in
or enter the department of the Seine, the Lyons
district, or Marseilles, without an authorisation
from the Minister of Police. The Spanish refugees
are not to be allowed, without express leave, to go
within sixteen niyriametres (one hundred English
miles) of the Pyrenees ; the Germans or Poles are
not to enter the departments adjoining Switzer-
land or Germany without a special authorisation,
and the same is to be the rule for the Italians with
respect to the departments next to Italy. When-
ever new political refugees enter France, they are
to be disarmed, and sent at once to a town at least
10 myriarnetres (62A English) miles from the fron-
tier, there to wait the orders of the Minister of
Police as to their destination. The circular further
declares that all the laws which had been in force
refative to political refugees having ceased to exist
under the new order of things, the Government
intends to act with respect to these persons in such
a manner as it may conceive to be best for the pre-
servation of the public peace.
The arrests which have taken place within the
last few days, were, it is said, caused by the seizure
of some correspondence with the refugees of Lon-
don, and by the distribution of papers emanating
from them. The total number of arrests is about
60. It is stated, by a journal, but not positively,
that domiciliary visits have been made in the
houses of two tradesmen. A revolutionary mani-
festo has been seized in the residence of a tailor.
The arrests have been principally made amongst
workmen.

The Emperor and Empress have for some days
past not quitted the Tuileries. Yesterday the
carriages were ordered for a promenade, but after
waiting for some time they were sent away.
The Emperor has received from the Grand Duke
of Oldenburg and the Dukes of Saxe-Coburg Go-
tha and Saxe Meiningen, replies to the letters
which announced his marriage. His Majesty also
received a letter from the President of the Repub-
lic of Costa-Rica, congratulating him on his acces-
sion to the throne.

A ministerial journal of Rennes states that the
projected journey of the Emperor into Brittany
has been adjourned.
A telegraphic dispatch announces that Marshal
de St. Arnaud's health is completely re-established,
and that he proposes quitting Marseilles on Satur-
day next, to return to Paris.
The demand for Reutes yesterday has been inac-
tive, with a downward tendency in prices, the
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. for cash having declined
25c. on Tuesday's quotations, and for th account
10c. ; the Three per Cents., however, at the close
of business had improved 15c. for money, and sc.
for the end of the month. There was also an ad-
vance of sf. in Bank Stock. The final quotations
were :—For cash—Three per Cents., 80f. 40c. ;
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f. ; for the account,
Three per Cents., 80f. 50c. ; Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 103 f. 35c. Bank shares, 2,740 f. The
shares of the Bank of Credit Foncier declined 5f.,
closing at 914 f., whilst those of the Credit Mobilier
advanced 2f., and were quoted at 932 f. at the con-
clusion of business. The market for Railway Secu-
rities was active, and a tolerable amount of busi-
ness was transacted.

• SPAIN.
The Spanish Senate assembled on the 7th, and
railways.m
resaurmciueids thede discussion on the question relative to
Several senators, and amongst them the
Miraflores, the Duke de Rivas, M.
Pena y Aguayo, and General Figueras, spoke at
some length and with much warmth ; and some
of them went into matters which had no con-
nection with that before the house. Thus M. Pena
y Aguayo made a sharp attack on the Ministry for
its conduct in the elections, and his speech, con-
trasting with his ordinary moderation, produced
great sensation. The Marquis del Duero, on his
part, attacked the Government for its proceedings
relative to the press. M. Benavides, Minister of
the Interior, replied to both these senators, and
defended the Government. With respect to the
press, he said that the Cabinet was preparing a bill
on the subject. The Minister then proceeded to
speak on the question before the Senate, but was
interrupted by the President, who told him that
the hour fixed by the regulations for the adjourn-
ment had arrived. In the Chamber of Deputies on
the same day, M. Bravo Murillo at great length
replied to the attacks which had been made on
his Ministry for its interference in the elections.
What took place on the Bth is thus described
in a letter of that date :—" This morning every-
body talked of the suspension of the sittings of the
Cortes, and the Senators and Deputies hastened to
their respective chambers with extraordinary zeal
to learn what the Government would do. At
about two o'clock the sitting of the Chamber of
Deputies was opened. The President of the Coun-
cil appeared in his usual place in full uniform.
After the minutes had been read, several deputies
demanded to be allowed to speak. Although the
President of the Council, according to the regula-

tions, having to make a communication from the
Government, had alone the right to speak, M.
Moron rose, and briefly declared that the Minister
had never had, had not then, and never would have
the confidence of the Parliament. The President
of the Council immediately read a Royal decree by
which the sittings of the Cortes were suspended for
the ses§ion. The document was listened to in pro-
found silence, and the deputies immediately retired.
In the Senate the'Royal decree was also read. The
Government has adopted this measure in consequence
of the violet-4 attacks which have been made on it
and on distinguished personages in the Senate. Al-
though there is a talk of a modification of the Cabinet
in which General Roncald and MM. Liorente and
Benavides will remain, the statesmen who will be
called on to fill the departments of Justice Marine,
and Public Works are not mentioned. report is
current that General Lersundi, Captain-General of
Madrid, will unite to his functions the civil gover-
norship, in order to give greater force to the autho-
rities."—The journals give no news of interest ex-
cept what refers to the crisis, but the Gazette
contains a royal decree ordering new elections to
fill up vacancies in the districts of Casas, Hanez,
Cuenc'a, and the district of the Prado, in the pro-
vince of Pontevedra. General Aupick, the French
ambassador, was preparihg to quit Madrid. His
departure will, say the papers, be much regretted.
On the night of the 9th the Ministers resigned in
a body. The Queen asked for 24 hours to decide
whether or no she would accept their resignation.
Before the expiration of that time, the Queen had
accepted the resignation of the Cabinet.
General Lersundi has been charged with the duty
of forming a new Cabinet.
The Cortes has resumed its session.

On the Bth the Three per Cents. were at 42
15-16.

ITALY.

A Vienna journal, of the 9th, states that the
Governor of Malta has announced the intention of
the British Government of continuing the Sardi-
nian 'submarine telegraph to Malta, by sinking a
wire between Bana and La Valetta.

In its sittings of the 9th the Chamber of Depu-
ties at Turin voted the project, already approved
of by the Senate, concerning bills of Exchange
signed by persons not in trade. This law is founded
on the same principles as those of the commercial
codes of England, France, Austria, and Naples.
The Opinione of Turin states from Milan, Bth,
that.political arrests still continue there.
Count Stra.soldo, Lieutenant-General of Lom-
bardy, arrived at Parma on the 7th, on his way to
Modena.

The Giornale di Roma, of the sth, states that
on the first Sunday after Easter the Pope blessed
the candles called A gnus Dei, a ceremony which
only takes place every seven years. The fireworks
which could not be let off on Easter Monday ac-
cording to custom, on account of the bad weather,
were let off the Sunday after Easter with complete
success. _ _ _

The British fleet was in port at Malta on the Bth.
No preparations were making for its departure.

GERMANY.

The Augsburg Gazette has the following from
Munich, dated the 10th :—" Professor de Liebig
was last night giving a lecture on chemistry at the
palace, before Queen Maria, Queen Theresa, King
Louis, the younger branches of the royal family,
and some persons belonging to the court, when a
bottle of oxygen gas being improperly handed to
him by his assistant, who took it for another bottle,
an explosion took place, and the bottle flew into a
thousand pieces. Fortunately the explosion oc-
curred in an inner room, the door of which was
open. Still some fragments of the glass passed
through the door, and slightly wounded some
members of the royal party who were sitting in
the front rank. Queen Theresa was cut in the
cheek, and the blood flowed in abundance ; Prince
Luitfold was slightly wounded in the forehead,
Countess Luxburg in the chin, and Countess San-
dizell in the head. None of these wounds will
be of any consequence. The professor was also
slightly injured, having escaped with his life by a
sort of miracle."

The following appears in the Vienna Gazette, of
the Bth :—" H. M. the Emperor, desiring to alle-
viate the burden of labour which weighs on the
Minister of Finance, has, by Cabinet letter of the
30th March, attached M. Rueskefer de Wellenthal,
Under-Secretary of State in the Ministry of Com-
merce, to the Ministry of Finance, and Baron
Gehringer d'Oldenburg to the Ministry of Com-
merce. They will provisionally replace the
Minister."

A Vienna journal attributes the present dis-
tress amongst the workmen of the manufactories in
that capital to an Imperial decree imposing heavy
restrictions on the hawking trade in manufactured
goods, and by which the markets of Hungary are
in a manner closed against the persons engaged in
it. The consequence is that they give no more
orders for goods, and thousands of workmen are
deprived of bread.

The Wanderer of Vienna states from Bel-
grade, Ist instant :—" M. Garaschanin has been
named member of the Senate. This nomination
would
interesthave opened a vast field for his activity
in the of tile country had not the Senate
lost all political importance. The fall of that
Minister is principally attributed to the passiveat-
titude which the Ottoman Porte observed during
the war with the Montenegrins. It is said that
the Russian Government wishes that the Servian
functionaries, who had been educated in Paris,
should be dismissed, but up to this time Russia has
not demanded the removal of M. Marinovics, Chief
of the section of Foreign Affairs, and that of M.
Zach, Director of the Military Academy."
The Lloyds of Vienna, of the Bth, says :—" The
Government intends establishing several new vice-
consulates in Bulgaria, to give the export mer-
chants the protection which they stand in need of.
At present there is only a consulate at Rustochuk,
and another at Widdin. The Abbe Farkas has
given 52,000 florins to found a school for girls at
Sthulwessenburg, in memory of the late escape of
the Emperor from assassination. In consequence
of a negotiation between Austria and the Porte,
the latter has promised that Bavarian vessels shall
be treated in Turkish ports like those of Austria.
This advantage accorded to Bavaria is a result of
the treaty concluded between her and ;Austria con-
cerning the navigation of the Danube. '

TURKEY.
The Trieste Gazette has the following from Con-
stantinople, 28th ult. :—" It is not yet known
whether the question of the Holy Places is at this
moment the subject of deliberation between Prince
Menschikoff and the Ottoman Porte, but it is cer-
tain that the Divan is negotiating .with the Prince
on the affair of Montenegro and the emancipation
of the Christians. The apparent isolation of the
Russian Cabinet in presence of the resolution of
the other powers to refuse any co-operation,. does
not in any way diminish the prospect of an amicable
arrangement. But it is certain that Prince Menschi-
koff will not and cannot yield, and that he will
place himself as the protector of such subjects of
the Ottoman Porte as profess the Greek religion.
He is, nevertheless, very dissatisfied with the Pa-
triarch. The Russian Colonel Christophores (a
Greek by birth) has arrived from Montenegro.
A certain sensation has been produced here by
departure of several Russian officers for that coun-
try."

According to a letter from Teheran of the 26th
February a grave misunderstanding has arisen be-
tween the Persian Court and the British Legation,
relative to Herat, and a rupture was feared.
" What is certain," says the letter, " is that Colonel
Sheil, who was about to quit Teheran in a few days
on leave of absence, expected to take with him all
the personnel of his legation." The cholera was
advancing towards Teheran ; it had reached Resht
and Caslin, and had made ravages in these places.
The winter had been one of the most severe ever
known in Persia. Snow had fallen for several days,
and in some parts communications had been inter-
rupted. The Schah, notwithstanding the intensity
of the cold, had been on a hunting expedition to
Hirsa. He was obliged in the course of it to re-
main in tents for ten days, and several of his suite
died from cold.
