PARIS, THURSDAY.
The members of the Savoy deputation are invited
to dine with the Emperor on Saturday.
By decision of the Minister of Finance, the inte-
rest of Treasury bills is thus fixed from the 22d
March :—At 2 per cent. for those of from three to
five months; and at 2 for those of from six months
to a year.
A letter from Nice announces that General
Garibaldi is shortly expected in that town, of
which he is a native. This celebrated popular chief
will, by the annexation of the county of Nice to
the French Empire, become a French citizen, and
may possibly be elected a deputy to represent his
native town in the Corps Legislatif.
The naval squadron under the command of Ad-
miral Jehenne, composed of the steamship-of-the-
line Donawerth, the steam frigate Foudre, and the
steam cutters Tisiphone and Mon ctte, which sailed
from Algesiras on Friday last, has arrived at
Toulon.

A ship-of-the-line to be plated with steel has been
laid down in the dockyard of Cherbourg. She is
to measure 300 feet in length, with an iron spur 30
feet long, to be supplied with an engine of 1,206.-
1 horse power, and to be called the Napoleon I. '
M. Dalmas, sous chef de Cabinet to the Em-
peror, has passed through the ordeal of the
Legislative Corps, and is allowed to keep his
seat. This, however, is not so surprising as the
very minute majority, only 14, which decided
in his favour. 232 deputies voted ; against the ad-
mission of the Government candidate 109 recorded
their votes, and for him 123. Seeing what pains
were taken to get M. Dahnu.s in, an opposition of
109 is no contemptible one.

RUSSIA.
The following letter has been received from
Warsaw, dated 18th of March : "Numerous
arrests have been lately made in several towns of
the Russian Empire. Twenty persons have been
incarcerated at Kiew, and among theni M. Kaza-
nowski,
a professor of the University. The ar-
rests were still more numerous at Charlcoff.
There were likewise some persons arrested at
Kazan, but I am not able to inform you whether
they were as numerous as at Kiew and Cheri-
coif. The persons arrested are charged -with
having conspired to found a distinct nationally. It
is generally believed that the persons arrested will
be set at liberty, and that the police have con-
founded literary associations with political clubs.
Many people believe that the police caused these
arrests to made, as they frequently did under the
Emperor Nicholas, to give him a high idea of their
zeal and vigilance. However that may be, we are
living in a period ofgreat political excitement. The
principle of nationalities and free trade are the basesof
the new political system proclaimed hero. Several
persons think that Russia has a grand part to per-
form in this new transformation of modern society.
Landed property throughout the Russian empire
has quadrupled in value since the question of the
emancipation of the peasants has been raised.
Fifteen years since a desiatina (about a rood) of
ground could be purchased in the Tauride for three

silver roubles (10s.) The same quantity of grouud
would now sell for 30 roubles."

SARDINIA.

The Opinione of Turin states that the Pied-
montese Council of State assembled on the 19th to
take into consideration the question as to whether
the concordat concluded by Austria was binding on
Sardinia as regarded Lombardy ; and it was unani-
mously decided that it was not. But as th3re were
certain laws founded upon the concordat which
could not be well suppressed without something to
replace them, the Council of State laid down the
ruse that no law contrary to the constitution could
be considered to exist, but must be looked upon as
abrogated de facto ; and that all other laws of the
kind should be dealt with by Royal decree, except
in eases where the authority of Parliament is abso-
lutely required.
