THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

It is asserted that in the course of yesterdty a private
telegraphic dispatch was received in Paris, in which it
is stated that the Russian army is marching upon the
Turkish frontier, and that the French squadron has
anchored in the Bay of Besika.
In consequence of some false news having been lately
in cirulation at the Bourse of Marseilles, the Procureur-
Imperial, M. Guyho, has sent instructions to the central
commissary of police of that city to endeavour in all
such cases to discover the source of such rumours, and
not to hesitate to at once arrest the author and pub-
lishers of them. The same course is to be adopted with
respect to any one who should circulate alarming intel-
ligence, even when believing it to be true. Should the
Commissary not be able to discover the parties in ques-
tion, he is to forward to the Procureur, without any
delay, such indications as might appear likely to be of
use in a judicial investigation.
The Tribunal of Correctional Police has condemned a
man named Fontaine, alias Breton, to three months'
imprisonment, for having, on the 16th May last, made
use of seditious expressions in the public streets, in ex-
claiming, "I am faithful to the red flag ; I will never
change my opinion." He at the time wore a long
beard, and had on his head a red cap, similar to those
worn some • time since by the members of certain revo-
lutionary clubs. When
„searched at the time of his
arrest, there were found in his pocket a file ground so
as to form a dagger, and a card of admission to the de-
mocratic electoral committee, and at his lodgings were
found some demagogical pamphlets and songs, and
portraits of Robespierre, BarbZ;s, and other revolutionary
personages.
A. further decline in the public securities occurred yes-
terday, combined with considerable inactivity in business
—in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for cash, to the
extent of 40c., and of 10c. in the Three per Cents. For
the account, the Three per Cents. fell 35c., and the
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 25f. An improvement of
10f, took place. in Bank of France shares. The final
quotations were :—For cash : Three per Cents., 78f.
40c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 101 f. 50c. For the
account : Three per Cents., 78f. 15c. ; Four-and-a-Half
per Cents., 101 f. 50c. ; Bank Stock, 2,690 f. Shares of
the Mortgage Bank declined 20f., closing at 800 f. ; and
those •of the Societ6 Mobiliere 7f., the final quotation
being 818 f. Railway Securities experienced a still fur-
Om depreciation, yesterday, a considerable decline having
taken place in the shares of most of the principal lines
at the termination of business. Paris and Rouen Shares
fell 20f. ; and Western of France, Strasbourgs, Paris
and Lyons, and Rouen and Havres 10f. each ; Lyons
to the Mediterranean, and Paris and Orleans remained
unchanged. Final quotations :—Northern, 881 f. ' • Paris

TURKEY.
The dispute between Russia and Turkey is again the
chief topic in the original columns of the Paris journals,
but generally speaking the articles do not possess much
interest. The Debats shows some soreness at having
been described by the Comtitutionnel as a Russian organ.
The .4 ssemblee Nationale also appears to be annoyed at
the remarks of the Constitutionnel and the other minis-
terial journals, and attempts to inspire a conviction, as
the Debuts had done, that if Russia should declare war
against Turkey, the French could not rely on the co-
operation of England.
The Patrie says :—" Our letters from Constantinople
of the 20th state that the attitude assumed by the Go-
vernment had produced an excellent effect both in the
capital and in the provinces, and deputations were every
moment arriving, bearing to the Sultan the homage of
the respect and devotedness of his subjects. Among
these deputations were more particularly those from the
Greek population, who, under the difficult circumstances
in which Turkey is at present placed, evince a praisewor-
thy attachment for its Government, the spirit of justice
and good faith of which they duly appreciate."
A German journal gives the following as the sub-
stance of the last note transmitted to Constantinople by
the Russian Government. The imperial agents are to
have the right of preventing Greek subjects from being
oppressed ; the Patriarchs and Bishops are not to be•re-
moved without substantial reasons ; all desire of inter-
fering in the internal arrangement of Turkey is dis-
claimed ; and a refusal to accede to these demands will
be looked upon as a want of respect to the person of
the Emperor.

Accounts from Malta, of the 27th ult., state that the
English squadron has been reinforced by two more sail
of the line.

SWITZERLAND.
BERNE, MAY 31.
M. de Buol has notified to the Swiss Charge d'Affaires
at Vienna, that the recal of M. de Karnicki has not the
signification of an international rupture, and that if
Switzerland desires such a rupture, she must bear its
consequences. In consequence of this information the
Swiss Envoy, who had been recalled by his Govern-
ment, has applied for fresh instructions, and the Federal
Council, in reply to this application, has instructed him
to remain at his post, and to continue his diplomatic re-
lations.
