REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL FROXI PARIS,

BORDEAUX, February 21.

The Deputies of the National Assembly will
shortly take into consideration, and bring under dis-
cussion, the question of the eventual and definitive
transfer of the seat of Government to some point
outside of Paris.—Lornbard Telegram.

The following telegrams come through Reuter's

agency :
THE ORLEANS PRINCES.

It is asserted at Bordbaux that the Duke d'Aumale
and the Prince de Joinville arrived in Bordeanx on
Friday last, but upon the advice of their friends left
again on Sunday, without insisting upon taking their
seats in the Assembly, knowing that if their election
were verified by the House, the Emperor Napoleon
would present himself as a candidate in various elec-
toral colleges, and put forward the same motives for
election as the Princes."

The Gazette de .France announces positively that
the following diplomatic appointments have been
made :—Duke de Broglie, Ambassador to London ;
Duke de Noailles to St. Petersburg ; M. de Rtmusat,
to Vienna; and Viscount Vogu6 to Constantinople.
The Patrie, Con stitutionnel, Gazette de France,
and the Siecle all agree with the Press of the De-
partments that it is the intention of M. Thiers to
carry out to the extreme limit the programme of
conciliation of all political parties.
The Paris Jockey Club and the Club of the Rue
Royale have passed resolutions that in future the
fact of a candidate for admission being of Prussian
nationality would disqualify him for membership at
either club.
