FRANCE.
PARIS, THURSDAY.

A Paris correspondent of the Nord writes :—" I
acquainted you in a previous letter with the elec-
toral law prepared for the Principalities; I am
now able to give you details on the subject. There
will be two degrees of electors ; the highest must
possess a landed or funded fortune of 1,000 ducats ;
and the other 100 ducats. Candidates must prove
their possession of a fortune of 6,000 ducats. The
archimandrites will enjoy the right of presiding
over the electoral committees ; the vice presidents
b 3 subject to election. Among the important
questions which remain to be solved by the Con-
ference is that of the guarantee by the great powers
of the new organisation of the Prnicipalities. Fund
Pacha, on his side, insists on the rights of suze-
rainty of the Porte being likewise guaranteed."
Marshal Canrobert, on arriving lately at the
camp of Chalons, as stated, addressed the following
order of the day to the troops :
" Soldiers,—ln assembling us in this camp, the
Emperor is desirous that we should continue the
useful works at which he presided himself last
year. We will endeavour to carry out his inten-
tions ; we will each in our sphere develope mili-
tary instruction and education ; and the troops of
each arm, after having laboriously acquired the
special science appropriate to it, and becoming well
accpiaintrd with thq patticriblr part whi3'i they
would leave to-perterin in war, wilt learn in those
extensive plains how, when assembled, they mutu-
ally support each other, and co-operate by their
combinations in their general action in marches,
combats, and battles. Soldiers, your Gmeral-in-
Chief, whom many of you have known for years,
and who finds among you old and glorious com-
panions in arms, is the more happy and proud to
command you iat he has confidence in your good
will, in your warlike qualities, and in your de-
votedness to the Emperor, the living image of our
great country."
Immediately after the Ville de Nantes shall have
been launched at Cherbourg on the 7th August, a

RUSSIA The Chamfer of of Cronstadt (Tran-
sylvanil) recently published a report setting forth
the obstacles which commerce encounters in the
Danubian Principalities, and recommending the
Government to insist on having Galatz and Ibralia
declared free ports ; aise to obtain a roduotiou of

the expo-rt duty in the Principalities from 5 to 3
per cent., as it was formerly.

NAPLES.

The Neapolitan Government, which is usually
very sparing of its diplomatic publications, has
adopted another course in the affair of the Cagliari.
It has despatched a document to the various
European legations containing the English text
and Italian translation of the opinions given by the
English crown lawyers, with comments and refuta-
tions.. Seven of these opinions proceed from the
Palmerston Cabinet, and three from that of Lord
Derby. The document seeks to confute tho argu
ments employed by the Attorney- General, Sir Fitz-
roy Kelly, who maintained the illegality of the
capture of the Cagliari. The document also tries
to maintain the legality of the refusal given to the
application of the English engineers to confer with
their consul.
