The following telegram has been received at
Mr. Reuter's office 1—

VIENNA, DEC. 24.

Ace.ording to advicee from Belgrade, the Skoupts-
china, or National Assembly, demanded on Wed-
nesday last, the 22d inst., the abdication of Prince
Alexander Karageorgievie. The Prince promised
his reply for the 23d, and repaired to the Turkish
fortress in order to place himself in safety. The
Skouptschiva thereupon resolved on the deposition
of the Prince, because, in their judgment, the
country was left without Government, and the
Prince was to be considered as a fugitive.
The Skouptsehina further proclaimed Prince
Milosch Prince of Servia, in the presence of the
people summoned for that purpose.

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.

Prince Jerome yesterday gave private audiences
to the following Ministers Plenipotentiary :—M.
Corvaia, of the Republic of the Equator ; M.
Alberdi, of the Argentine Republic ; M. de Marco-
leta, of the Republic of Nicaragua; and Baron
d'Adelsward, of Sweden and Norway.
The Debuts thus observes on the appeal of
M. Montalembert, and the explanation certainly
throws a new light on the effect of the altered
sentence, which will surprise many readers :
" The most important point to be noticed is that
of the two articles, 1 and 3, of the law of July 27,
1849, alluded to by the judges of the First In-
stance, Art. 3 is the only one alluded to 'in the
new judgment, Now, Art. 1 being the only one
by virtue of which M. de Montalembert was
brought within the purview of the law of Feb.
27, 1858, relative to measures of public safety, it
follows that M. de Montalembert is relieved from
this consequence. Further, the Court reduces the
imprisonment from six months to three. Such are
the essential differences which we observe between
the judgment in the first instance and that just
rendered. The result shows that M. de Monta-
lembert's appeal was not, as has been pretended,
without any serious object or real interest for him,
since the effect of the judgment of the Court of
Appeal is to discharge him from all the most serious
consequences of the judgment of the court
below."

Vice-Admiral Romain-Desfosses, Commander-in-
Chief of the Mediterranean squadron, has visited
all the vessels of the Russian squadron. Each ves-
sel gave him a salute of 11 guns, and the French
ship of the line Algesiras returned each salute.
Vice-Admiral Jacquinot, Maritime Prefect of
Toulon, the day after, visited the flag-ship of the
Russian Admiral. He also received a salute of 11
guns, which was returned by the French flag-ship,
the Bretagne. The Napoleon had been making
experiments near the Iles d'Hyeres with a cannon
of a new model. The result is not stated.

The Moniteur publishes the following report to
the Emperor from the Prince Minister of Algeria :
" Sire—ln creating the ministry which you have
deigned to place under my charge, and in forming
in it the direction of the affairs of Algeria and the
direction of the colonies in general, the idea of your
Majesty was not to maintain the separation of those
two services, but on the contrary to unite and to
impart to them one common impulse. Could, in
fact, the object of the institution of a Ministry for
Algeria and the Colonies be attained, if, for instance,
the administration ofjustice, of public instruction and
worship inAlgeria continued to be separated from that
of the same services in the other colonies ; or if, in
matters of finance, public works, and commerce,
those services should continue to be managed on
different principles ? I thought, from the first day,
of substituting for that territorial division a divi-
sion of the services according to their different at-
tributions, but it was advisable not to embarass the
progress of affairs by any sudden change. At pre-
sent there is nothing to prevent this organisation,
the necessity of which has been confirmed by ex-
perience, and it is moreover desirable that it should
be accomplished before the commencement of the
next year. I have consequently the honour to sub-
mit to your Majesty the subjoined decree, which
suppresses the direction of civil affairs in Algeria
and the direction of those of the other colonies,
and which approves of the division, according to
their attribution, of the services of the Ministry of
Algeria and the Colonies.—Accept, &c.,
" NAPOLEON (JERoME.)"
The report is followed by the decree above alluded
to, signed by the Emperor.
