Tee Augsburg Gazette of the 28th ult. states, after a
letter from Nauplia, that on the 26th of December Dr.
Zuccharini, chief surgeon of the Greek army, visited Furt
lterkale, in company with other surgeons of the staff. It
became a question among them whether it was practicable
to climb the rocks towards the sea. Zuccharini said he
had already done so during a former stay at Nauplia, and
instantly began the ascent; but he had not made much
progress before a piece of rock gave way, when he was
precipitated headlong into the sea, and met with instant
death. His loss is much lamented. He was a man of
considerable skill in his profession, and bad acquired some
literary celebrity. This paper announces that the Hanau
Gazette has been prohibited throughout the State of Hesse
Darmstadt. It quotes the Funds at Vienna on the 23d
ult., Metallique', Five per Cents., 95 21 32; ditto, Four
per Cents., 851; Bank Actions, 1,2231.
The Berlin Stale Gazette of the 26th ult. quotes
Prussian 4 per Ceuts. 971, 97 ; ditto, 5 per Cents.
(1822), English Loan, 103, 103.
The same paper statee, after a letter frcrn Berlin, dated
the 21st ult., that among the rumours prevalent in that
city was that of a visit from the Duke of Orleans, who
is said to have expressed a wish to become acquainted with
the Prussian army and its institutions.
The Frankfort Gazette of the 29th ult. announces
that his Britannic Majesty has been pleased to confer the
Grand Cross of the Royal Guelphic Order on Thomas
Cartwright,Esq., Ambassador to the Germanic Diet.
We learn from the Jura, under date of the 23d ult.,
that " the resolution lately come to by the Grand Council
of Berne, as to a revision of the Federal Compact, has
Hot made so strong a sensation as was expected. The in-
difference of the greater part of the cantons as to any
change in the existing constitution, and the repugnance
manifested by the whole of Switzerland to the system of
unity, must convince every impartial man that the period
when the partisans of centralization will meet with success
is still very far distant."

PARIS, FEB. 1.-The delays and difficulties relative to
the commercial treaty, of which I spoke in my last, appear
to have been duly appreciated on your side of the water,
and steps have been taken to bring the negotiations as
speedily as possible to an issue of some kind. Dr. Bow-
ling, one of the Commissioners who have been negotiating
the commercial treaty for the last two years, has just been
sent over here by your Ministers, with instructions to that
effect. His exertions have already brought matters into
a s'a'e of forwardness, from which it may be hoped that
uncertainty will not continue much longer to hang over
the subject. A project of law for the proposed alterations
in the tariff has been discussed in a Cabinet Council, and
agreed upon; it has already received the King's signature,
and is to be bra light into the Chamber of Deputies on
Monday or Tuesday next by the Minister of Commerce.
Its ultimate fate in the Camber can hardly be decided
before the end of February ; but in whichever way that
fate will have to settle the negotiations between the two
Governments, it is fortunate that the project is to be
brought into the Chamber before the budget, otherwise it
would have had hardly any chance of hieing considered
this session.
The public mind in the capital has been lately thrown
into an unusual state of eicitement by the circumstances
attending a duel fought between General Bugeaud and M.
Dulong, in consequence of the epithet of geolier applied
by the latter to the former, during a recent discussion in
the Chamber of Deputies on the duty of military officers
to disobey orders which may be contrary to law. General
Bugeaud had acquired in France a notoriety pretty nearly
similar to that of Sir Hudson Lowe else-where. Since
his return from Biaye, he bis been doing all he could to
make himself still more remarkable, by a zealous advocacy
of the interests of the juste-milieu party, of which he
bas long been a member. It was the same sapient per-
sonage who, in reply to some remarks by Messrs. Odillon
Barrett and Mauguin on the culpable abandonment by the
French Government of the cause of Poland, observed
that be was at least as competent as any avocets to speak
of military matter., and therefore that he could take upon
himself to inform those two gentlemen, that an army of

not less than 500,000 men would_ have been required to
aff,ml any effective assistance to the Poles.
Geuetal Bugeaud has, then, contrived to make himself
a remarkable adversary to the opposite party in the Cham-
ber, if not a very formidable one. M. Dulong was nearly
equally remarkable on account of his abilities and the active
part he has taken in the proceedings of the Chamber ever
since he has sat in it. A duel between two such persons
could net have failed to engage public attention here, even
if it had not been attended with extraordinary circum-
stances. M. Dulong, as you will see by the journals, re-
ceived his adversary's ball in the head, and died twenty
hours afterwards. This would certainly not have happened,
and the duel would have been avoided, if a ministerial
evening paper had not taken upon itself to declare that M.
Dulong had apologized to General Bugeaud for the offen-
sive expression, in a letter which was to appear in the
Journal des Debate on the following morning. There ap-
peared to be a great deal of manoeuvring in all the business,
in which higher personages than those who figured were
made to seem as if taking a part with the view of rendering the
duel unavoidable ; and the King's name having subsequently
been mixed up, with the occurrence both the Opposition
papers and the personal enemies of the Government have
been endeavouring fur the last two or three days to affix
upon it the highest political importance. The death of
M. Dulong has certainly produced a painful impression in
the Chamber of Deputies, and among his friends and ac-
quaintance, a great number of whom announced their
intention of attending his funeral, which took place to-day.
The whole Republican party bas been in motion for the
purpose of making this funeral procession an cccasion for
their expression of political feeling, and it was very
speedily rumoured throughout Paris that ao emeute Was
contemplated. Measures have therefore been taken by
the Government to prevent any disturbance of the public
peace, and I am happy to say, that up to the moment at
which lam writing, no symptom whatever has appeared
of any disposition to that effect.
General Bugeaud meanwhile appears in public in the
same way as if he had no man's life to answer for, and
will, as is always the case in this country, escape prose•
cution. In France the widow of a man killed in a duel is
the only person who may prosecute ; and where there is
no widow no prosecution takes place. The survivor's
friends and acquaintance, unless he become a professed
duellist, and succeeds in killing some half dozen people,
treat him as if nothing wbatevef bad happened.
The reports rela'ing to a probable change of Ministry
here have not been renewed of late, anti circumstances
have transpired by which it is made to appear that no
cause will be given for any change. Marshal Soult and
some of the other Polinisters have held several consultations
with the Members of the Commission appointed by the
Chamber of Deputies to examine the budget, and the re-
sult seems to have been that the Marshal has given tip his
claim to credits supplementaires for 60,000 men,—that
is, he consents to reduce the army to 310,000 men. He
has, however, declared that he cannot make any further
reduction, and that if the Chamber will not vote the sup-
plies for exactly that amount of the regular force, he and
all the Ministers will resign. The Chamber will, according
to all present appearance, pass the remaining part of the
war budget without any attempt to modify it, so that there
is no great risk that the Marshal's threat will have to be
carried into effect.

It begins to be very generally believed here that M. de
Rayneval, the French Ambassador in Madrid, is to be
recalled, but nit on account of the dismissal of M. de Zea,
as it was said some time ago that he would be, if M. de
Zea went out of office. The French Government is, it is
said, disewisfied with the view that M. de R tyneval has
latterly taken of the state of Spain, horn which it had
been led to consider M. de Zea's system as the most
judicious, and likely to be attended with great benefit to
Spain. No one has yet been fixed upon as M. de Rayne-
vat's successor. It was said a day or two ago that Duke
De Cazts bad been I ffel ed that embassy, and had accepted
it. Ido not believe that the Duke De Cszes has been for
a moment thought of about this embassy. Besides, it is
well known that his views of office are much nearer home.
He still entertains a hope of getting into the Ministry,
should a new one be called for by any circumstance, and
he continues to think that the Pt eidency of the Council
could not fail, in such an event, to devolve on him.
Since writing what precede., I have seen several per-
sons who have attended, and have returned from M.
Dulong's funeral. They report that it was atended by a
crowd nearly as great as that of General Lamarque, hut
unlike the•day of that General's burial, things passed off
in the most peaceall. manner. There were troops in the
procession and stationed along the whole of the Boulevards
through which it had to pass, and the whole body of
Sergens de Ville and Municipal Guards (the gendarmes
under former governments) were in requisition to over-
awe the eviLdisposed. Several legions of the National
Guard had -also received notice that their services might
be required. You see from all this that no small im-
portance was attached to the occurrence of the day.—
