PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The Senate met yesterday; M. Troplong in the
chair. It voted its internal budget for 1857, and
adopted a regulation for giving pensions to its
servants.

The Moniteur publishes an Imperial decree rais-
ing Generals de Salles and de Macmahon, Mgr. de
-Mazenod, Bishop of Marseilles, and Count Octave
de Barrel, a deputy, to the rank of senators.
" The returns of the customs revenue," says the
Constitutionnel, " for the first five months of the
year continue to show that the commercial situa-
tion of the country is prosperous.
The Emperor has addressed the following letter
to M. Pensard, the author of the piece called " The
Bourse," lately produced at the Odeon :

" St. Cloud, June 15, 1856.
" Monsieur,—You thought fit, after the first re-
presentation of ' The Bourse,' to escape from the
congratulations of the public and myself. The re-
ceipt of your play now gives me the opportunity
of addressing you, and I do so most willingly, for
I was truly pleased to hear you lash with all the
authority of your talent, and combat with the most
noble sentiments, the fatal passion of the day. I
shall therefore read your piece with as much in-
terest as I saw it played. Persevere, Monsieur
(your fresh success invites you to do so), in this
path of morality, too rarely, perhaps, followed up
in our theatres, and which is yet so worthy of
authors who, like yourself, are destined to leave
a great reputation behind them. Believe in my
sentiments. " NAPOLEON."

RUSSIA.
ARRIVAL OF LORD WODEHOUSE.
A letter from St. Petersburg of the 18th, in the
Constitutionnel, says :

"The Emperor Alexander, after his return from Riga
and Revel, has taken up his residence in the delightful
palace of Tsarskoe Selo. A body of the Imperial Guard,
50,000 strong, is on the march for Moscow, and will
take six weeks to perform the distance. Grand military
fetes will take place for the coronation, in which
150,000 men will be assembled. Lord Wodeheuse, the
English Ambassador Extraordinary, arrived here yester-
day, by the Prussian Eagle steamer from Cronstadt.
He had been preceded by Mr. Acton, son-in-law of Lord
Granville. This young gentleman, who was partly
educated in France under the direction of Mgr. Dupan-
loup, has just left for Moscow to prepare the palace ap-
pointed for his father-in-law, who is to represent England
at the coronation of the Emperor Alexander. It is said
that his lordship during his stay at Moscow will give
several magnificent fetes. The disasters of the inunda-
tions in France and the heroic conduct of the Emperor
Napoleon in going himself through so many dangers to
convey assistance and consolation to the numerous sufferers
have produced an immense sensation in the Russian capi-
tal. 'ln these disasters,' said a high Russian personage to
me yesterday, the Emperor Napoleon acquires more glory
in the eyes of posterity than in a hundred victories, for he
has achieved the canquost of every heart." The French
persons established at St. Petersburg have opened sub-
scriptions for the sufferers, to which the Government
has very generously contributed. To the firm of M.
B )rdeaux, who has the largest warehouse here for linen
and, cotton goods, is due the merit of this generous ini-
tiative, conjointly with M. Chuzel, bookseller and presi-
dent of the French Benevolent Society."

THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.
A letter from Berlin, in the German Journal of
Frankfort, says :—" It has been asserted that the
Porte had consented to the authority of the chiefs
of the Principalities becoming hereditary, provided
the union of the two provinces did not take place.
We know from a good source that this version is
false. Prop•sitions of this nature had certainly
been made to the Porte, but were declined by the
latter in a most decided manner."
The Wallachian Government (says a letter from
Vienna, in the. Rrurtzburg Gazette) has formed a
plan of the railways to be executed in that country.
A line, 47 leagues in length, is to connect Bu-
charest with Vertgevora bypassing through Slatina,
Crajova, Severin, and Czeneiz ; a second line is to
connect Bucharest, Giurgevo, and Varna ; a third
line is to go from Bucharest to Bredial; and a
fourth from Bucharest to the frontiers of the Buko-
wina.

SPAIN.
MADRID, June 24.—Disturbances have taken
place at Valladolid, under the pretext of the dear-
ness of provisions. Tranquillity is re-established,
and the ringleaders will soon meet with condign
punishment. In the Cortes the discussion on the
law of municipalities was brought to a conclusion.
