the nnw 'Awes of hAppiness with %Illicit this day inspires
the Royal Family."
The marriage was to be celebtated yesterday in
the most private manner. This was to spite the
Deputies, whose rejection of the proposed nota-
tion Bill has been since visited by an alinost total
exclusion from the Court circle. We are surprised
that so shrewd a man as LOUIS PHILIPP,E should
not be sensible that by such conduct he must greatly
increase the unpopularity of the Duke DE NEMOURS,
and confirm the Chamber in its determination to
grant no more dotations to the children of a Sove-

req:n so well able to provide for them out of his
private fortune.
In the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, M.
GOLBERG presented a Report on petitions for the
abrogation of the law which exiles the family of
NAPOLEON from the soil of Fiance, and for the
removal of the remains of the Emperor from St.
Helena to Paris. The Report was favourable to
the existing law, but left the question of. the re
moval of NAPOLEON'S remains to be decided by the
President of the Council. An early application to
the British Government may be expected to be
made by M. TRIERS for permission to restore to
France the asbQs of the most illustrious of her

warriors and statesmen. No other act in the
Ministry of M. THIERS will so endear his memory
to future generations of Frenchmen.
The French Government had ordered a squadron
of observation, consisting of Eur ships of the line,
and as many war steamers, to be formed on the
coast of Naples.
The Courrier Francais says that on the Ist of
May, the KING'S birthday, Ministers will advise
his Majesty to grant an unconditional amnesty for
all political offences whatsoever. Exiles for poli-
tical offences will be allowed to return unquestioned
to their country :

The follo,ing, lines, dated London, 13th April, and
published by the Augsburg Gazette, might almost pass for
an official communication :

"'Those who are acquainted with the firm will of the
Emperor Nicholas have no doubt that the expedition
against Khiva, will be shortly resumed. It is known, too,
that the plan of his policy extends further than Khiva ;
for this reason the news that has been received
has riot surprised the Council of Ministers. In
fact a new expedition into the countries on the Oxus is
said to have been projected at St. Petersburgh. Ac-
cordingly it has been declared to Count Brunow that if
the Russian Government persisted in its project the Anglo-
Indian Government would send an army to the Oxus,
and would cause all the most important points, particu-
larly Balkh, to be occupied by a military force. On this
point public opinion is perfectly in unison with the Ministry.
We have already spoken of the fire which reduced to
ashes the town of Sallanche in Savity, on the 19th inst.
13,y some recent accounts we learn that forty persons were
dead or dying of their wounds on the 21st in the morn-
ing. The number of the maimed is stated at more than
fifty, and 100 more were missing ; whether they have
perished in the ruins or have fled through terror is
not known. Some unfortunate women were found
suncated in the cellars in which they had
taken refuge. The fire has destroyed all the
important documents in the hands cf the notaries, and very
few persons have saved their most valuable effects. Only
four or five houses remain standing at the extremity of the
town; the remainder, to the number of 250, are reduced
to ahea. The Church, in which a great part of the inha-
bitants were assembled (it being Easter Sunday) at the
time when the fire broke out, fell down in a few hours. It
was one of the finest, and i's steeple one of the most
ancient; of Fancigny. The Hotel of Belle Vue, so well
known to travellers, in the Alps, has been consumed, with
all the furniture and its vast dependencies. One of the
brothers of the landlord perished in attempting to extin-
guish the fire.
The damage done is immense, considering that the in-
habitants are by no means rich. Supplies of all kinds of
necessaries have been sent there in abundance from all the
neighbouring places, and the most generous hospitality
has afforded an asylum. A subscription has been opened
for them at Gueneva. Sallanche had 2,000 inhabitants.
It was once before destroyel by fire 321 years ago, and as
on this occasion, on Easier Sunday, in a season of drought,
which bad dried up all the springs, and during the preva-
lence of a high wind.—Le Commerce,
M Poisson, Peer of France, President of the Academy
of Science, Member of the Royal Council of Public In-
struction, Professor of Mechanics, Examiner of the Poly-
technic School and of Artillery, Commander of the Le-
gion of Honour, and member of all the learned societies
in Europe, died at Sceaux on the 25th, at the age of 58,
much lamented, and leaving four children.
Paris letters say that rain had not fallen in the capital
fer several weeks, and that very serious apprehensions are
entertained on account of that continued drought. The
price of bread is expected to reach 20 sous the quarts rn
loaf in a few days, which is a famine price ; and' if means
a-e not taken by the Government to ensure an abundant
supply, and lower rates, serious consequences may be ex-
pected. Strong symptoms of discontent were observed
at Saturday's Corn Market, caused by the large purchases
of flour made by the Royal. Household, and if such a cir-
cumstance again publicly-occurs. the people will not scruple
to impute it to the worst motives.
