PARIS, FRIDAY, MIY 23, '1.30 A.M.

In presenting his letters of credence yesterday

M. de Hubner addressed the Emperor as follows :
Sire,—The Emperor, my august master, being
desirous of drawing closer the bands of friendship
which unite him to your Majesty, thought that
the re-establishment of his embassy at Paris might
add still more to the intimacy of the alliance so
happily existing between the two Imperial Courts
—of an alliance which is a pledge of order and
security for all, and which has so powerfully con-
' tributed to restore the blessings of peace to the
world. Your Majesty entertained the same idea,
and the two embassies, which had been suppressed
in the subversions of 1848, are re-established on
the morrow of the pacification of Europe. His
Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty has deigned
to nominate me his Ambassador to your Imperial
Majesty. I dare to hope, Sire, that you will continue
to the Ambassador the confidence and goodwill
with which during seven years, and in times often
eritical, you constantly honoured the Minister of
Austria. I have the honour to present to your
Majesty my letters of credence."
The Emperor replied by a few words, full of
kindness.

A despatch from Lyons announces that General

The houses were decorated with flags.

The Malta journals of the 13th have reached us.
The island was quiet and no recurrence of the dis-
turbances in which the An,gio-Italian legion was
engaged had talc:n place. Tim Italian corporal
Antonio Longati, who drew his bayonet on a boat-
man for refusing him a passage, was tried and sen-
tenced to two months' imprisonment. Four Mal-
tese, who had been arrested by the military for
being foremost amongst the crowd who maltreated
the Italian officers, were also tried, and, not being
clearly identified, were set at liberty.

It appears now to be scarcely beyond a doubt
that the only reform to be hoped for in Italy is that
scanty measure which France and Austria—now
intimate allies—are agreed to ask for. It is repeated
in many quarters that an identical note has been,
or at least is on the point of being, sent by France
and Austria to the Pope, demanding a certain de-
gree of secularisation in the Administration. Let-
ters from Vienna state that Count Buol has re-
cently had several interviews with the Pope's
nuncio, Monsignor Viale-Preta, on the subject,
and that the interviews have not been satisfactory,
the Court of Rome showing little disposition to
concede what is asked,

measure of legislative co-operation with the Execu-

the Isthmus.
A meeting had been held at Now York for the

partment in Washington by the captain of the
steamer Orizaba, which set forth the " inter-
ference" of the British frigate Eurydice at San

tickets for Nicaragua leaving the ship. Evi-
dence was also presented that the British force
forbade the American passengers who came down
the rivor from communicating with the shore at San
Juan, and that the British boats exercised a strong
surveillance over all Americans while there. Secre-
tary Dobbin said most decisively that such out-
rages could not be permitted to pass unrebuked.
