FRANCE.
PARIS, WEDNESDAY.
The Patric rakes up a question which created
much ill-feeling in its day, and which, we hoped,
had been definitively abandoned—the " right of
asylum" question :--
"England," it says, " does not profess on the
question of asylum any principle that is opposed
to those acknow]edged by all civilised nations. In
no circumstances has she abandoned the right of
imposing conditions on her hospitality. Good
sense, morality, and self-defence would not permit
her to relinquish that right. Is the moment at
hand for her to restore to her government the
powers confided to it up to 1826 ? This is a pies-
tion of home policy which has nothing to do with
the question of public right. England atone is
judge of the conduct which she ought to display
towards her neighbours, because she is alone re-
sponsible for it. We are acquainted with the deep
aversion entertained by the English nation for
everything that authorises Government to act be-
yound the ordinary legal course. But should re-
ceut scandals be renewed, should the soil of Eng-
land again become the scene of infamous plots,
without entailing the punishment of the guilty
parties, the souse and equity of the English people
would be aroused, and Parliament would not per-
mit British hospitality to cover crime with im-
punity."
The Pays follows in the track of the Constita-
tionnel, and comments on whit it is pleased to
term "the incorrect and lying assertions which
served as pretext for the calumnies and saugumary
declaral ions of the British peers." It says :
" France is the civilised and generous nation, par
excellence ; this is known in Asia, as, in Africa, and
America. No, it is not true that there existed on
hoard of French vessel 4, commanded by officers of
the lirpetial navy, chains and manacles for the emi-
grants ; no, it is not true that France inflicts oa
the emigrant blacks a punishment which England
reserves for her Eoldiexs. . . . What is par-
ticularly to be regret ed is that the Foreign 111ins-
ter•of England should have interfered in the de-
bate, and have, so to say, confirmed the false
aeserti,ns of ;he speakers ; and thaP, being ac-
quainted with the truth o the case, he should
not have stated it, and have protected an allied
Government from such odious and undeserved
attaeks."

The Constitationnel states that Marshal Randon,
Govurnor-General of Algeria, has been summoned
to Paris by electric telegraph.
The Akhbar, of Algiers, after alluding to the
various contradictory rumours which reach that
city from Paris relative to the changes said to be
in contemplation in the government of the colony,
adds :—" What is certain, and what we state with
regr,t is, that the present uncertain state of things,
in being prolonged, is producing a complete crisis,
not only in the administrative services, but also in
timied and commercial operations, the progress of
which is alrealy checked. The result has been a
sensible diminution in some branches of the public
revenue. A solution, whatever it may be, but as
prompt as possible, is earnestly to be desired."

The Mad; id journals of the 1901 have arrived.
The finance committee of the Cortes, nominated
some time ado, revolved, says the Hojas, to recom-
mend that, in order to diminish public expens,-is,
ministe,s plenipotentiary shall only be retained at
Rome, Lisbon' London, Paris, Mexico, Wd,shing-
too, and St. Petersburg, and that they shall be
charged wi-h the duties now performed by consuls-
gene ; whilst consuls-general shall be nominated
to other places where there are now ministers and
charges d'affaires. The Archbishop of Sara-
gossa, Mgr. Gomez de las Rivas, had died at
the age of 88. The Queen had ordered that
medals to commemorate her visit t) the fleet
shall be struck off, and be presented to officers
and men ; those for the superior officers are to be
ornamented with brilliants, those of the other
officers to be in gold, and .those of the crews in
silver.

A letter from Teheran of the 10th ult., in the
Semaphore of Marseilles, says
In a former letter I mentioned a report cur-
rent here that Omer Paella bad it in contemplation
to send a body of troops from Bagdad to the fron-
tier of Persia, and to force the Persians, who have.
landed property at Kerbellah, Nedjet, and Kesmeino
to sell their e,tates. I know not exactly what
truth there may be in this rumour, but it is very
certain that the Persian Government is at !his mo-
ment seriously occup:el with the question of the
frontiers, and is making preparations to guard
against eventual dangers. IA the Aderbaidjan, the
provinces situated on the Turco-Persian frontiers
are in a state of insurrection. Some of them have
been invaded by the-Turkish Kurds. The Shah
and the different foreign legations are about to
leave for the country. 'Each foreign legation has
a fixed encampment for the summer. That of
France forms an exception to this rule, and conse-
quently there results every year a difficulty which
might be avoided by a little fore-ii. 410. Baron
Pichon, therefore, found himself much embarrassed
to find a su:table spot for his encampment, and the
Shah, having heard of it, ordered his Ministeis to
inform the French reproseatitive that the Bagul
Ferdaous (Garden of Pardise) was at his disposal
for this year. Such a gracious act on the part of the
Sovereign of Persians considered a striking proof of
his friendly feeling towards the French nation."
A Vienna letter of the 19th in the New Prussian
Gazette says :—" It was reported to-day at the
Bourse that Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian had
been invited by the Emperor Napoleon to be pre-
sent at the fetes of Cherbourg."

The annual fete in commemoration of the foun-
dation of the Order of Maria Tiieresa, instituted on
Juae 17,1757, has just been celebrated at Vienna.
The Emperor, the Archdukes, and the high officers
of the Cuurt, were present at the religious service
in the church of St. Augustin.

The Ilamburg News says :—" The Copenhagen
Cabinet litely addressed to the foreign powers a
memorandum on the question of the Duchies.
Denmark desires to bring ab.iut an intervention of
Europe in the mater, without reflecting that since
those powers h:eve not contested the right of the
Diet to take resolutions ou Oat question, they can-
n-it cr•intest its right of carrying them into execu-
tion."

The Piedmontese Senate, in its sitting of the
19,,b, voted the bill for the execution of the
convention relative t) the working of the sub-
marine telegraph between Spezia and CAgliari,
as well as b,3)ond that point. The Chaml'er of
Deputies pa9sed a bill for granting indemnities to
the sufferers by the grape blight.

A letter from Rome confirms the resignation by
Prince Orsini of his post of first magistrate,- and
announces his departure for Naples. It appears
that only one Senator, Prince Aldobrandini, had
