Dated the 30th day of January,

FRANCE.

The message of the PRESIDENT has been placarded
all over Paris. The Siecle has the following obser-
vations on this circumstance :

" M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte will absolutely have
his triumph made known. All France must learn that
the victory has been on his side. At the moment we
are writing the walls are covered with placards contain-
ing the message of the 24th January. We are assured
that 500,000 copies have been sent into the departments.
Why then should the Constibitionne/ and other Elysean
journals pretend that all was over, that the majority had
become reunited, and that all traces of conflict between
the two powers had disappeared? If peace has been
made, whence this extraordinary display of placards,
calculated to recall to mind a struggle which has been
terminated by a simple order of the day? Singular
way, indeed, to make reconcilement by reviving the me-
mory of discord! For our part, we look on this pro-
ceeding as of bad augury, for it would seem, to indicate
that the Elysee remained decided not to make any con-
cession, but to follow up the same political system im-
plied in the departmental tours and in the reviews at
Satory. Henceforward the Legislative power will look
twice, in case a new conflict should unfortunately arise,
before it decides on an act of good will and of con-
ciliation."

The Moniteur du Soir says—
" The receptions on Monday evening at the ElyEea
were numerous. All the corps diplomatique, a large
number of representatives, the Ministers, the high func-
tionaries, and, in fact, all the principal personages in
Paris, made it a duty to attend and pay their respects to
the President, and to congratulate him on the result of
the sitting in the Legislative Assembly."

GERMANY.
The Austrian Correspondent states that some im-
portant financial operations were before long to be
effected, in connexion with a large loan, which will
be submitted to parties well versed in financial mat-
ters. Thirty thousand of the oldest soldiers are to be
disbanded.
The great powers of Germany represented in the
free conferences at Dresden have come to a formal
resolution that they will take no notice of the protests
of the smaller states.
The Prussian Masts Anzeiger announces that a
treaty has been concluded between Prussia and Bel-
gium for an uninterrupted telegraphic communica-
tion between those countries by the public.

charged with making a reportte

purpose of placing obstacles in the way of the
armed force. The additional article proposed by
the Commission is as follows :—" An account shall
be rendered to the Chambers, in the session which
shall follow the adoption of these measures, of the
declaration of placing the city in a state of siege,
or of suspending certain articles of the constitution.'

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The new Government for Holstein,
consisting of
the Federal and Danish Commissioners, was to enter
upon its functions on the Ist of February.
The Cabinet is composed of Messrs. Blohme,
Heintze, Malwros, and Prehn.
The Kolner Zeitung states that Rendsburg is likely
to become a Federal fortress.
It has at length been arranged that Fredericbsort
is to be given up to the Danish troops, which will
also occupy the positions north of Rendsburg, while
the small islud which lies between those positions

(Renewed laughter by the Chancellor, the deputation
joining.)

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (looking at
the tickets handed to him by Mr. Francis) said it
was worth while a Chancellor of the Exchequer's
seeing and hearing such things, in order to see how
ingenious the world was in evading a tax.—(Laughter.)
Mr. FRANCIS said some of the tickets dropped from
the balloon had been picked up in Berkeley•square
and Buckingham Palace, and had been presented at
the entrance-door of the exhibition, by parties who
bad picked them up.
Mr. M. YouNo (to Mr. Francis)—l see you have
tickets of different colours.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (to Mr.
Young)—l suppose for different flights.—(Laughter.)
Mr. YOUNG—Yes ; some of them for higher longi-
tudes than others.—(Renewed laughter.)
Mr. FRANCIS adverted to the public inconvenience
if tradesmen in general had recourse to such a method
of advertising.

Mr. YOUNG apprehended that a butcher would
not sell his meat at half price if a man went to him
with such a ticket.--(Laughter.) With respect to
the advertisement duty, it pressed with singular ine-
quality. If the Duke of Northumberland wanted to
sell an estate worth 100,0001. he would be called upon
to pay no more for his advertisement duty than the
poor servant girl in want of a place.
Mr. HUNT said this was a tax, the whole benefits of
the repeal of which would go into the pockets of
the public. If the eighteenpence duty were taken off
the public would get the whole eighteenpence, unlike
the paper duty, the removal of which would to a
great extent benefit the large manufacturers imme-
diately, and the public only remotely.
Sir JAMES DUKE instanced the case of the agri-
culturists, who, to his knowledge, complained loudly
of the impediment which the duty on advertisements
threw in the way of their advertising their stock
for sale.

Mr. EWART said, on the same principle that a duty
was levied on advertisements, the State would be
justified in taxing the town-crier.—(A laugh.)
Mr. II GRAM said he paid more, in many cases, for
advertisement duty, than he had received from the
advertisements. Many of his advertising customers
had taken credit for an exceedingly long time, and it
frequently happened that he never received a farthing
of the amount due from them.

Mr. MIIRDO YOUNG—Aye, but the Chancellor of
the Exchequer loses nothing by that.—(Laughter.)
The deputation then withdrew, much gratified with
the cordial reception they had received from the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and with the good
humour which the Right Hon. Gentleman displayed
throughout the interview.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor Lord CRANWORTH.)
THE KING OF THE TWO SICILIES V. WILCOX, M.P., AND
OTHERS.
This case having been, on several occasions, before the
Court on different interlocutory applications, and the cir-
cumstances of it, arising out of the late insurrection in the
kingdom of the Two Sicilies, being quite familiar to the
readers of The Sun, it is unnecessary now to re-state them.
The present application was a motion against two of the
defendants, Granatelli and Scalia, for an order com-
pelling them to produce certain documents admitted to
be in their possession, and which the plaintiff stated he
had a right to see for the purposes of his case. The
motion was resisted by the defendants on the ground
that they held the documents in question as trustees for
other persons, and also that the production of them
might possibly expose them (the defendants) to certain
criminal proceedings on the part of the plaintiff.
His LORDSHIP this morning delivered his judgment,
and made an order for the documents to be produced,
stating that he was of opinion the defendants bad shown
no sufficient reason for resisting the application.
METEAIRIE V. CARDINAL WISEMAN AND OTHERS.
Mr. BETHELL, Q.C., stated that he appeared on the
part of the plaintiff; Julienne Marie Meteairie, in sup-
port of an application for an injunction to restrain three
of the defendants to the suit, Edward Norris, John
Anastasius Cooke, and Nicholas Wiseman, the Roman
Catholic Cardinal of Westminster, from transferring
or in any way dealing with a sum of 7,000/. Three per
Cent. Consols, standing in their names as trustees,
and the dividends thereon, until the further order of the
Court.
Lord CRANWORTH said, it appeared that the proper
course was for the Court to hear a motion, when due no-
tice had been given, if the Court saw no injustice was
done; but in this case he thought injustice would be done
if he did so; he should, therefore, order the injunction in
the terms of the motion, which would stand over until
the second seal ; the defendants to file their affidavits
within twelve days. That course was agreed to, and the
order made accordingly.
