residence at Portici, and thereby to remove himself
further than ever from French rnfluences, adds to at)
embarrassment of the PRESIDENT and his Ministerial
advisers.
By the majority it is regarded as certain that " the
letter " was written by LOUIS NAPOLEON, at the
urgent advice of M. DUFAURE.
In his inauguration of the Lyons Railway, the
PRINCE was received with, if possible, yet greater
enthusiasm than that evinced towards him at Stras-'
burg. At Fontainbleau, and especially at Montereau,
the cries were vociferous of Vive Napoleon! rive
L'Empereur des Francaise!
The speech of the PRESIDENT, when returning
thanks for his health being proposed at the banquet at
Sens, was loudly cheered. On Sunday night tie re•
turned from the excursion.
The Union • Bretonne states that a telegraphic
dispatch reached Br e.t on the 6th, with orders for
the ships Pandora, Hussard, Fabert, Alerte, and two
others, to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to
sea. Their destination was supposed to be La Plata.
M.LEON FAUCHER, at a dinner lately given to him
by his constituents at Chalons, strongly insisted on
the necessity of revising the Constitution, and urged
them to address petitions to that effect to the National
Assembly.
M. VICTOR HUGO, after a rather severe indisposi-

tion, caused by the fatigue of the late Peace Con-
gress at Paris, took his departure yesterday for the
country, to pass there his period of convalescence.
General DAIMON, who is regarded as the probable
successor of General ROSTOLLIN as commanda-in-
chief of the expeditionary army at Romeris at present
at the head of the 3d military division.
General OUDINOT has arrived in Paris.

M. TITTERS, who arrived in Paris on Saturday from
Diepp, left the same day (says the Dix Decembre)
for the Chateau de Francouville, belonging to the
Duchess DE MASSA, near Champlatreux, in the
department of the Seine-et-Oise.
M. LcEvE VIEMARS has been appointed consul at
Quito.
The following absurd paragraph has made its ap-
pearance in some of the journals :
" The French Opera is all astir with the approach-
ing rehearsal of a new opera, in five acts, to be sup-
ported by all the principal singers of the establish-
ment, and Madame Viardot in the principal part.
The music is by the Hungarian General Georgey,
and he is about to proceed to Paris to superintend its
production, the hero being the renowned Mathias
Coroni."
Supposing this ridiculous report to have been true,
we should have surely recommended the Parisians to
give the Hungarian traitcr the only reception to
which he is entitled. For some time at least, how-
ever, there is not much likelihood that ARTHUR
GEORGEY will dare to lift "his ignoble head from the
obscurity in which he is now enveloped in Styria.
The following will be read by all admirers of real
genius with profound satisfaction :
"The statue of Monge was inaugurated at Beaune last
week, with great ceremony. All the military and civil
authorities of the town and neighbourhood, the members
of the law courts, the pupils of the different scheols,
formed in grand procession, headed by the band of the
garrison, and proceeded amidst the plaudits of an im-
mense crowd of spectators to the Plate d'Armes, which
is henceforth to be called Place Monge. A platform
bad been erected near the statue on which were several
female descendants of the great geometrician. The
house in which Monge was born was dec2rated with Lis
bust crowned with flawers, and surroundLA by four
tricollr flags, bearing the inscriptions, 'Geometric De-
scriptive, Ecole Polytechnique, Listitutdu Caire, Foate des
Cartons.' The whole cortege saluted the Louse as it
defiled before it, the soldiers presenting areas, and the
civilians taking di' their hats. Several appropriate
speeches were delivered at the foot of the statue, which is
in bronze, and represents Menge standing cr., et giving a
lesson in get:met:3% The proceedings of the fitly were
terminated by a banquet given to M. Rude, who made
the statue, and at which General Morey-Monge de-
liverei a very a7:itnated speech, thanking his fellow-
eit'zens with reat war:LAI) and feeling for this expres-
sion of their admiration of his relative."

The harvest promises fairly, but the vintage seems
to be somewhat inferior.
