I3y a royal decree, published in the Gazette of
this day, M. Tassara is named Spanish Ambas-
sador at Washington. Preparations are com-
menced for sending to Africa next spring a con-
siderable amount of naval and military forces.

A letter from Vienna, in the German Journal
of Frankfort, says :—" The Austrian war steamer
Elizabeth has received orders at Trieste to go to
the Bay of Naples, not to make a demonstration,
but to station there. It is certain that in his com-
munications with Baron Hubner, King Ferdinand
did not reject the good counsels of Austria and
Fiance, and he has even allowed them to a cer-
tain extent, but he refuses to cede to the demands
of England, and Russia encourages him in his
resistance. It was in the Athens journals that
the late Russian circular was first published, it
having been first communicated to the Govern-
ments of Greece and Naples."

A letter from Vienna of the 4th, in the Fost
Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" The circu-
lar despatch of Prince Gortschakoff was, it is said,
in the hands of the King of Naples on the 6th
September, that is to say, three days before the
arrival of Baron de Hubner."

A private letter from Bucharest; of the 29th cf
September, contains news which will hardly fail to
create some little sensation in the West of Europe.
Prince Alexander Ghika, the Kaimakan or
Stadtholder of the Porte in the Principality Qf
Wallachia, has not only re-organised the Cabinet
and made great changes in the political admi-
nistration of the province, but he has entirely
broken up the supreme and second courts of
justice. The words of the correspondent are,
" The Kaimakan has just dismissed all the em-
ployes forming the courts of supreme justice and
of appeal.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says :
" The latest advices from Naples as yet an-
nounce no change .or modification in his Majesty's
determination. To the first steps taken by the
Western Powers the King responded by the open-
ing of the present criminal proceedings. To the
ultimatum, if ulticlatum be intended, the same
mni:lble Sovereign will probably reply by the exe-
cution of the sentence on such of the prisoners
have been convicted. A note is still spoken of
on the part of the French Government, but it is
hardly believed th at the fleet will be despatched
at the same time t o enforce its demands. Indeed,
there seems to be nothing yet decided respecting
the fleet, though it is probable that the Ambas-
sadors will be recalled."

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

The Moniteur says :—" The speculation of
sweating and melting down coins, in order to ex-
tract therefrom a ny value they may contain above
their ordinary cu.:rrency, is an injury inflicted on
the public fortune, and constitutes a misdemeanour
which cannot be tolerated. The French govern-
ment is resolved to repress this practice by all the
means placed in its hands by the laws."
" The Emperor and Empress," says the Sport,
" went on a shooting excursion in the Park of St.
Cloud two days back. Her Majesty wore an ele-
gant costume of (Teen cloth, composed of a skirt
and jacket, ornam.ented with gold buttons and a
round hat with a plume of feathers. Two sub-officers
of the Chasseurs of the Guard attended on the Em-
press to carryherfowli no--pieces. Her Majesty killed 9
ph easan ts out of 53 shoi-during the excursion. There
will be hunting and shooting matches alternately
every five days at Compiegne until November.
The carrousel whicla is to figure in the series of
fetes at Compiegne -will have this particularity, that
all the horsemen will be mounted on Arabian
horses of the same size and colour. They are a
greyish-white and belonged to the old regiment of
the 4th Chasseurs, now transformed into a regi-
ment of the guard."
Colonel Pelissior, of the Marine Artillery, has
been named member of the Council of Naval
Works, in the room of Colonel FroLault, removed
to other functions.
General Gyulai, who is still in Paris, will be re-
ceived to-morrow, or the day after, in private
audience by the Emperor. It was rumoured that
NI. de Solignac Fenelou was recalled from Berne ;
the rumour is unfounded.

The arrivals of corn at Toulon since Saturday
last have been 90,000 hectolitres. Prices have

" In the month. of April last," says the Moniteur,
" the Jeune Dieppois, French merchant vessel,
was attacked in the neighbourhood of Cape Tres
Forcas, by the pirates of the Rifl. That act was,
•1 the part of the government of the Emperor, the
subject of the most energetic representations to the
government of Morocco, and his Majesty's consul-
general at Tangie rs, in conformity with instruc-
tions sent to him,, also demanded from the Court
of Morocco an equitable indemnity in favour of the
owners and crew of the pillaged vessel. The
Moorish Government has just acceded to this
claim, and the Governor of Tangiers has informed
Viscount de Castillon that a sum of 7,000 piastres
(35,000 f.) was ready to be paid to him. There is
no doubt that the Government of _Morocco
will
cause the payment of this indemnity ultimately to
fall on the guilty pasties ; and it is already an-
nounced that a force is being collected to march
into Riff. The result obtained by our consul-gene-
ral is the more remarkable that it is unprecedented.

AUSTRIA.

VrENNA, Oct. 6.—The result of the appeal wle.ich
a few days since was made by Austria to the good
sense of the King of Naples is not yet known, but
the prevalent impression in higher political circles
is that General von Martini's mission will not
be attended with any great success. The rupture
between the Neapolitan Government and its repre
sentative at this Court is so complete that for some
time past the latter has been entirely without in-
structions. The Oesterreichische Zeitung, which is
supposed to acquire a part of its information at an
official source, contains the following interesting
piece of news :
"Many of the foreign papers state that the Austrian
Government has sent a squadron from Pola to share in
the demonstration against Naples, but the news is pre•
i-ty at-are. 'Until now no vessel but the war steamer, the
has reesived orders to proceed to the Bay of
Nantes.'"

The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort contains
the following :—" The rumour to the effect that
the Emp:zor of Austria will be crowned in the
spring of next year is without foundation. That
ceremony have to be preceded by the public:
Lion of a new rescript, which is rendered necessary
by the new organisation of the provinces. Up to
the present inerheut the document has not even
been taken into consideration."

A letter from Vienna in the Hamburg News
says :—" Workmen are actively employed at pre-
sent on the various fortified places of Gallicia, and
large sums are appropriated to the works, the in-
tention being to establish in Austrian Poland a
system of fortifications not inferior to those in
Russian Poland. Hitherto there have been on the
north-west frontier only tho fortified places of
Olmutz and Pizenusl. But much more is Nor/ to
be effected, and the places just mentioned are to be
greatly enlarged, so as to be able, like Verona in
Italy, to accommodate a numerous body of forces.

MONTENEGRO.
A letter from Montenegro of the 26th ult., in
the Osservatore Triestino, says :—" The consul-
general of Russia has arrived here this day from
Ragusa, charged, it is said, with an important
mission. The French consul of Scutari arrived a
few days ago, and had a long interview with
the prince. It is generally believed his object is to
induce the prince to conclude a treaty with Turkey,
to the effect that Montenegro be declared part of
Turkey as a separate duchy without payment of
tribute, and under the sovereignty of the
Petro.
