MARSEILLES, THURSDAY.

We have an arrival which brings us news to
the 26th of February, from the Turkish capital.
It was rumoured that the negotiations between
England and Turkey in relation to the occupation
of the Isle of Perim, had closed by an acceptance
of an indemnity by the Ottoman Government.

A violent earthquake has lid Corinth in ruins,
killing thirty persons. The shocks continue with

A fire at Constantinople has bura 300 houses.
The palace of the Governor of Adrianople had

to incendiarism.

The reports of the European Commissioners in

The authorities of Genoa have invited the citi-
zens to energetic action, for the suppression of
disorder. Nocturnal patrols have been formed,
and the best results produced in the restoration
of public peace.

FRANCE.
PARIS, THURSDAY.
The Emperor and Empress yesterday afternoon
paid a visit to Prince Jerome, who is still suffering
from influenza.
A Council of Ministers, at which the Emperor
presided, was held yesterday at the Tuileries at
half-past ten, and remained sitting for nearly two
hours.

The expected Malmesbury despatch has not
reached Paris to-day, at least in an official form.
There is some doubt if Gen. Bedeau will return
to France, and thus avail himself of the Emperor's
invitation to do so.
The French Government bas never demanded
from Switzerland the expulsion, and transportation
to America, of a certain number of refugees. The
only question was the localisation of these persons
in the cantons the furthest removed from the

against the sentence of the Assize Court is not yet
disposed of indeed, it was only this morning that
"the papers were transmitted from the Imperial
Court to the Court of Cassation. MM. Leon,
Bret, and Fournier, advocates, are informed that
they have been appointed by the Court to support
the appeal ; but it is not yet known when it will
come before the Criminal Chamber. If means are
not found to hasten the affair, and bring it on to-
morrow or the day after, it can hardly be pleaded
before Thursday next, unless the Criminal Chamber
departs from its rule of sitting only three times a
week, namely, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
These things, however, are sometimes got through
with unexpected rapidity.
It is not true that M. Hnbner. the Austrian
Ambassador, has made any representations to the
Government of France concerning the publication
of Orsini's letter to the Emperor, printed in the
report of the late ti ials.

The Patric thus comments on the authorisation
to return to France given to Generals Bedeau and
Changarnier

" fire preservation of public order alone led
precautionary measures to be adopted towards
men who had rendered services to their country on
the field of battle. These transitory measures could
not, in our opinion, cease in a more opportune
moment than the present. The attempt of the
14th January has exposed to us the point from which
society is menaced. It is the duty of Govern-
ment to be vigilant and severe towards f ,ctions
which seek to obtain a general combustion by
means of assassination. But it can show confidence
to men in favour of order, who are equally inte-
rested in opposing horrible projects which, thank
Heaven, have nothing to do with politics."
BOURSE, March 4.--The arrival of the first tele-
graphic despatch with a rise of per cent, in Con-

NAPLES, Feb. 27.—The final meeting of the
medical men appointed to examine into and decide
on the mental state of Watt, the engineer, took
place yesterday in the British Hospital. There
were present the Attorney-General, a judge, and
the Chancellor of the Grand Criminal Court of
Salerno, the two medical men from the Lunatic
Asylum of Averse, Mr. Roskilly, and Mr. Acting-
Consul Barbar. The medical report was uniform,
that, after an examination extending from the 17th
to the 26th inst., in their opin'on the employment
of any force to compel the attendance of Watt in
court would be both nocivo e pericoloso—injurious
and dangerous. Allusion was made in the proces
verbal to the settled conviction of the prisoner that
he had nothing to do with the Grand Criminal Court,
and his settled determination not to attend it.
" Indeed," said his brother, "any force would be
resisted by him, and would infuriate him." The
Attorney-General was anxious that a detailed re-
port of the daily investigations of the medical men
should be drawn up and presented to the court, so
as to show on what grounds they had come to thei,
conclusion and furnish some elements for discussion
of the case. This report was ordered to be prepare d
and presented to-day at 12 o'clock. It cannot possi-
bly contain any novelty. It will simply detail a
series of interrogatories as to why he would not
come down to the court, and determined and uni-
form answers that he had nothing to do with it, and
would not come. On the first day he received the
medical gentlemen courteously enough, but after-
wards he appears to have become suspicious and
rude, and shown impatience at their questions. On
his being asked why he would not leave the prison
when Mr. Barbar came for him, he replied, " Be-
cause it was to2ktiejraV4'LLe; ~.4... reminded
but nothing like a rational answer could be elicited.
It was about this time he declined taking a cup of
coffee which had been offered to him, until a friend
had first tasted it. A simPar suspicion appears to
have occupied his mind last Wednesday, when
dining with his brother. After tasting his soup,
he rose from the table and went into another room,
refusing to take anything else. "It all comes of
his imprisonment, Sir," said his brother to me,
" Henry is no longer the same man that I re-
member him. He has one fixed idea, and it is all
abcht his imprisonment and trial. If left alone he
becomes sad and melancholy, sighs deeply, and asks
continually when it will be all over, and bow it
will end. He is always in a restless, agitated state,
and at night takes no repose, rising and dressing
and walking about, so that the lodgers below com-
plain that they cannot sleep. His eye is enough for
me, Sir—it is so wild—have you not observed it ?

and then his manner is twitching and nervous."
William Watt, his brother, arrived here last Tues-
day, having come under the auspices and with the
assistance of the Foreign-office. He speaks very
warmly of the kindness which he received from
Captain Haworth, the Queen's messenger, with
whom he travelled, as he does also of the unre
mating attention of Mr. Acting-Constil Barbar.
To his friends he does not write from a reluctance
to enter on so painful a subject, but he trusts that
they will see this statement. The report of the
physicians will be brought under the formal con-
sideration and discussion of the Grand Criminal
Court of Salerno on Monday next.
