FRANCE.
The Emperor and the Empress on Monday visited
7,• Palaces of Trianon and Versailles, and returned
tothe Tuileries in the evening at six o'clock.
Prince Napoleon was present on Monday at the
~.
7Presentation of Les Cosaques, at the theatre of

Jaubert, prefect of the Landes, has been ap-
V2inted prefect of the Dordogne, in the room of
'47.. Calvimont, named Master of Requests at
Council of State. M. Frachon, sub-prefect of
succeeds M. Jaubert in the Landes.
T• he Siecle says :—" The Government, it is said,
Preparing several measures of public utility.
7111engst them are the following :—A decree to
the sum to be paid by each of the dealers in
Wood, for the timber brought to Paris by water
the year 1854 ; a decree authorising the estab-
lishment at Bordeaux of a society of maritime as-
-Barances - a decree authorising the establishment
a similar company at Havre ; a decree respect-
j▪ ag the savings bank of Paris ; a decree opening
to the Budget of the Minister of Finance, for 1853,
supplementary and extraordinary credits amount-
ing to 10,188,000 fr. ; a decree opening to the
Minister of the Interior a credit of 90,650 fr. 76c.
for the termination of works in the Imperial Court
at Lyons ; a decree opening a credit of 22,020 fr.
for the termination of works in the Imperial
Curt at Paris • and a decree relative to the terri-
torial regime of French establishments in India."
In Paris a good deal has been done to excite the
Warlike spirit of the French people. At present
ttne piece de circonstance is given at the Gaiete
,
liatre, under the very significant title of Les
Cossaques, which is evidently intended to cut two
Ways—first, as respects foreign politics ; and, se-
condly, as respects a few questions of home policy.
Which have of late created some noise. It repre-
sents the Cossacks as the savage and tyrannical
ePpressors of nations ; and then it represents the
upper classes and noble, home as not only the
enemies of the people, 1 as the betrayers of the
country, and the tools CI ,t 3 foreign enemy. It is
evident that the piece ..ns a blow not only at
Russia, but at the Fus,,,tists, whether they be
Legitimists or Orleanist- . On Monday evening
Prince Napoleon Bonaparte and the Minister of
Police attended the representation of Les Cossaques.
It appears that some of the leading Republicans
root on Monday in Paris, in order to decide on the
line of conduct they should adopt with reference to
the fusion and the fusionists. After some discussion
it was resolved that the fusionists should have their
Protection, countenance, and support. To this reso-
lution four only refused to subscribe. The reason
alleged for that decision was, that with a Bourbon
,Royalty there were far more chances of re-establish-
'g
a Republic than under the present regime.
riThe sort of democratic origin of the present system
Presented far greater difficulties in the attainment of
this object than the exclusiveness of Bourbonism.
They calculate also on the jealousies and hatreds
of the retired statesmen of the two branches, a
cordial understanding between whom they believe
10 be
Thee possibale.

ITALY.
The Milan Gazette quotes a letter from Florence,
of the 27th ult., which states that if Miss Cunning-
ham was pardoned by the Grand. Duke, it was
entirely owing to Mr. Scarlett's conciliating beha
viour on the occasion. The official note addressd
to Mr. Scarlett on the subject by M. Baldasseroni,
Contains the following passage :—" The Grand
Duke has been induced to grant a pardon chiefly
on account of his esteem for the Chargé d'Affaires
•of her Biitannic Majesty, and of the manner in
Which he has conducted this business ; but his
highness begs him at the same time not to rely
upon such kindness in the future, the Grand Duke
°eing firmly resolved not to show any similar in-
dulgence.
The Secretary of the Congregation of Ceremo
flies at Rome, has just addressed ale tter to the
Cardinals, in which he points out the formula to be
observed in letters of congratulation to 'the Court of
the Tuileries. When the Emperor and Empress was
addressed by word of mouth the term " Sacred Im-
perial Majesty" is to be used the first time, and
" Your Majesty " afterwards. When writing, the
form at the end of the letter is to be " Of your Im-
perial Majesty the most humble, most obedient,
and most devoted servant." The address must be
"To his Sacred Imperial Majesty the Emperor (or
the Empress) of the Frelieli.

SPAIN.
Our dates up to the 30th ult., from Madrid,
state that the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier
were expected to arrive at Madrid during the first
fortnight of December, to be present at the deli-
very of the Queen.
Lord Howden arrived at Madrid on the Ist inst.
It is said that M. Gorortitza, president of the
Finance Commission of Spain at Paris, has been
recalled by his government to fill an office in the
Finance department.
The Madrid journals state that, in electing the
committees on the budget, and on the bill relative
to the issue of 800,000,000 reals 3 per cent. stock
for the conversion of the floating debt, the Chamber
of Deputies had given large majorities to the Go-
vernment candidates.
The discussion in the Senate on the railway affair
was to commence the next day, and would, it was
believed, occupy several sittings.
The Opposition Senators had held a meeting in
the house of the Marquis del Duero, and had cal-
culated that they would have a majority. of 14
against the Ministry ; but the general opinion out
of doors was that the Ministers would triumph.
The conference between the French and Spanish
commissions for settling the limits of the frontiers,
had been temporarily suspended by the departure
of General Monteverde to attend the sittings of
the Chamber of Deputies.
A noted Carlist cabecilla (petty chief), called the
" Student of Villasier," is stated by the Tribune
to have crossed the frontier, and to have gone
towards the Sierra de Burgos ; and that journal
adds that agents of Cabrera at Bayonne had sum-
moned some of the Carlists who served in the last
civil wars to take up arms ; but the Espana de-
clares that these movements are of no importance.

BADEN.
The number of priests of the Grand Duchy of
Baden who have been arrested for having read the
pastoral letter of the Archbishop of Friburg is,
lays the Gazette of the German People, 200. -The
priests who were not able to read the letter on the
first Sunday would, it was not doubted, do so on
the Sunday following ; so that the arrests will be.
come still greater. The Archbishop has directed'
that the priests who do not obey his orders shall
be suspended ; and only one or two have, up to
the present time, formally refused.
