FRANCE.

Penis, Aug. 5.
The Emperor's speech to the Foreign Commis-
sioners at the Exhibition appears this morning in
the Moniteur. It is textually the same as tele-

graphed yesterday.
Accounts from Galatz relate an unfortunate inci-
dent in that town. A prisoner was attempting
-to

escape, and not having obeyed the summons of .a
sentinel to stop, the latter fired and wounded the
man mortally. " What is more unfortunate in the
present circumstances," adds the account, "is that
the victim is a Jew."
6, The cholera," says the Memorial, " continues
severe in Rome; nevertheless, in spite of the oppres-
sive heat, the deaths do not exceed 25 daily. The

Pope had intended to pass the summer at Castel-
Gandolfo, but the persistence of the epidemic in-
duces him to remain in the city, where his presence
constitutes a kind of moral support to the inhabit-

ants."

We learn (says the _ltalie of Florence) that the
sanitary state of the kingdom has decided the
Minister of War to postpone to next spring the
fourth meeting for firing practice, which was to
have taken place this year at Venice.
The death is announced of M. Descamps, a young
sculptor of talent, and Grand Prize of Rome. He
died at Naples of typhus fever. He had this year
sent to the Ecole des Beaux Arts at Paris a Disco-
bolus (a uoit thrower), which was much admired.
Mgr. de Merode, coming from Paris, has just
passed through Florence for Bologna.
A letter from Civita-Vecchia, in the Osservalore
Romano, announces the arrival there of the French
corvette the Caton, from Toulon. The French
naval force at Civita Vecchia is therefore augmented
by another vessel.
The sanitary intelligence from Bologna remains
favourable, no case of cholera having taken place
there for three days. At Milan, from the 29th ult.
to the 30th, there were five cases and all fatal ; in
the neighbourhood, 50 cases and 25 deaths. At
Lodi, 71 and 32 ; Monza, 3 and 1 ; Abbiategresso,
5 and 3 ; and at Pprma, 8 and 3.
Louis Kossuth, the former Dictator of Hungary,
has been elected a deputy for the Diet of Pesth by
the town of Walden.

The Gazette of Portugal formally contradicts
a rumour which has found an echo in several
French journals. A statement was made that
the soldiers of the 14th Regiment at Viseu had
attempted a revolt, which the officers had succeeded
in suppressing. Telegrams from that town, says
the Gazette, affirm that nothing of the sort has taken
place, and that the greatest tranquillity prevails in
the town.
The local journals announce that last week a
waterspout burst over the village of Palazzolo, near
Udine in Italy, and did great damage. Not fewer
than 30 houses were destroyed and 70 damaged.
Ten persons were killed and 28 injured by the
falling buildings. Oat of 1,500 inhabitants, up-
wards of 400 are without an asylum.
