PARIS, MONDAY.
The Monitettr publishes a decree, founded on a
report from the Minister of Marine, giving an al-
lowance to sailors who shall have served for more
than six years in the imperial navy in addition to
the half-pay to which they may be entitled.
There is a report current in high quarters, that
the death of M. Fortoul will produce a division of
the Ministerial Departments.
It is said that a dignitary of the Catholic Church
will be made Minister of Worship, and that Public
Instruction will be a separate department.
" Per some days past," says the Semaphore of
Marseilles, " workmen have been employed in the
Andes des Capucines and de Meilhan in arranging
the tables for the grand banquet to be given by
the town to Marshal Pelissier and the troops who
accompany him ou his return. The arrival of the
Marshal will, it is expected, take place between the
18th and 20th inst."
The English transport Birkenhead, which left
liamiesh at the latter end of June with 200 men
and 20 officers of the 40th regiment and of the
Light Dragoor.s of the Imperial Guard, together
with the horses of the latter, was obliged° from
Want of water to put into Cagliari, in the island of
Sardinia. There Colonel Gozani di Treville, of
the Sardinian army, commanding the place, and
the officers of the 7th Piedmontese regiment, gave
a most cordial reception to the French officers, and
afcer showing them the principal military establish-
ments, entertained them at a grand banquet.
"A letter from Goree of June 27," says the
I'ays, "announces an important fact for the French
settlements at Senegal. Mohammed el-Aabib, King
of the Trarzas, who has always been worsted in the
various expeditions which the French have directed
against him, has just sued for peace: The submis-
sion of the Trarzas will insure to the French the
tranquil possession of the countries situated to the
north of the Senegal."

AUSTRIA.
A letter from Vienna of the 10th, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, says :—" Count Buol has
renounced his idea of passing part of the summer
in the country, in consequence of the multiplicity
of business. Count Strogonoff, attached to the'
Russian Embassy at Vienna, has left for St. Peters
burg." The same letter says :—" It appears from
the investigation instituted by the orders of the
Emperor of Austria into the affair of Giurgevo,
that it is the captain of the Austrian vessel who
was most culpable in the matter, for no regulation
or law exists authorising an Austrian officer to
Punish a foreign soldier because he refused to pay
him military honours. As soon as Gen. Coronini
beard of the decision of the commission, ho imme-
diately ordered the captain of the vessel to be
brought before a court-martial."
A letter dated Vienna, July 9, says—Prince
Petrulla, the Neapolitian Minister has recently had
several conferences with Count Buol, and it has
transpired that the King of Naples is not more in-
clined to attend to the counsels of Austria than t,,
the remonstrances of the Western Powers. It has
been stated by some of the foreign papers that the
Neapolitan Government is encouraged by Austria
to resist the demands made by England and
Prance ; but such is not the case. The Imperial
Cabinet, is of opinion that the Western Powers
have no right to force the King of Naples to make
any internal changes ; but it is a patent fact that
it has given his Majesty more good advice than
has proved palatable.

PRUSSIA.
F A letter from Berlin the Cologne Gazette says :
" The journey of Queen Victoria to this capital in
the month of September becomes more and more
probable, although not yet definitively decided on.
The Princess Royal, in conformity with etiquette,
will not accompany the Queen."

TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 3.--A.ali Pasha has
again resumed his functions as Grand Vizier, and
Mehmed Kepresli, the Kaimakan, his former pos.
as President of :he Tauzin:tat. Thus things re-
main for the present.
A new feature has shown itself in the question
of the Principalities. The project of the removal
of the Princes, and the appointment of Alexandei
Ghika and k. Balch as Kaimakans for Wal
lachia and Moldavia, was too favourable
to the wishes of the Principalities, 01
rather too unfavourable to interests which hav(
strong supporters in the Turkish Ministry, to pas,
without opposition. This opposition has show'
itiAf. The idea of the nomination of Kaimakans
is still kept up, but the persons proposed in th(
first instance for the post have been changed, and
M. Jean Matto, the present Minister of the Inte
rior, is proposed for Wallachia. No objection is
raised against M. Balch for Moldavia.

2_trumenced precludes giving a lengthened Lotice to-day.
The attendance of company was exceedingly great, an(
the appesrince of the new rousic•hall, crowded witr
a brilliant and fwhic.nable audience, was of surpassing
gratideur. The arrangements for the accommodatine
of. the company wore complete, and although a much
lc ta ir company assombled than had been calculated tiptop
not the least itrionvenieLee was occasioned to any person
present.
