PARIS, Sunday Evening.
There was another Cabinet Council at the

The Moniteur mentions the receipt of despatches
from "V era Cruz, dated March 15, announcing the

departure of the last contingent of French troops
from Mexico, under the most favourable auspices
and fine weather. Marshal Bazaine left on the 12th
of March on board the Souverain. The naval
division under the orders of Commandant Clone,
left St. Jean de Ulloa, on the 15th, to join the iron-
clad fleet at Sacrificios.

The fete at Rome, on Friday, in celebration of
the anniversary of the return of Pope Pius the Ninth
to his capital in 1850, was celebrated with enthusi-

astic acclamations and profound devotion on the
part of the whole population.
The formation of the Italian Ministry is, at last,

It is announced that the marriage of King Louis

" Is not the cession of Russian America to the
United States a very grave affair ? It is made
definitive by the almost unanimous sanction of the
Senate of Washington. Some time no doubt will
elapse before the great Republic will derive all the
advantage possible from those vast Polar territories,
and before Great Britain, whose phlegmatic feeling
remains to the last, will perceive that her possessions
in Canada, the borders of the Pacific, English
Columbia, and Vancouver's Island are restricted by
an invading nation. What is patent at the present
time is that Russia has acquired fresh strength, w id
that an alliance which she has laboured to effect for
many years finds a sort of sanction in the treaty
just ratified by the Senate of the United
States. If the Cabinet of St. James's may
not seem to attach too importance to the
cession of Russian America, her indifference must
be attributed to the attention which she is forced
to bestow just now upon other matters. The dif-
ference with Spain arising from the capture of the
Tornado and the Queen Victoria is still pending.
Besides this, the Derby-Disraeli Ministry has to
fight pro aril et focis. Mr. Gladstone mounted the
breach to assail the Reform Bill. In truth the
victory was warmly contested. Mr. Gladstone,
who protested that he did not wish to shelve the
stability of the Tory Ministry, rallied round him
289 votes ; 310 votes only were given in favour of
the Tory Ministry, and thus they had a majority
of 21."
The Duke of Edinburgh has arrived at Mar-
seilles. Monseigneur de -V izins, Bishop of Agen, is
dead ; he was born at Milhau on the 25th August,
1793. The late bishop was vicar-general of Bor-
deaux when he was appointed Bishop of Agen on
the Dith of January, 1811.
On Friday, while Baron de Budberg, son of the
Russian Ambassador, was riding in the Bois de
Boulogne with M. Casimer Perrier, he was thrown
from the saddle, and his head struck a parapet with
great violence. He was taken up in an inanimate
state and conveyed to M. Perrier's house, in the
Avenue de l'lmperatrice. The Baroness de Budberg
and Dr. Nelaton, the surgeon, were sent for imme-
diately, the former being out on a visit. The news
of the accident has had an alarming effect upon her.
The injuries received are of a very serious character,
and excite much anxiety. The patient, however,
has recovered his sensibility, and there is now still
hope.
Among the alarming fabrications of the day is
