Baron do Bourqueney has left Paris for Blois,
whore he will rennin until the end of the week,
and then return to Paris. In a few days after, the

" Should the enemies of order obtain a fresh
sum iss in Paris on the 26th April, they will cer-
tainly not weaken the legal arid moral authority of
satiety and of government ; they will merely place
the latter on their guard by proving to them that

war still rages, although victory cannot be hoped
for by the demagogues. As long as factions and
parties stand in revolt against the law, govern-
ment must maintain a policy of resistance.
When factions shall have been destroyed and par-
ties subjected ; when there shall exist in France,
as in England, only one constitution and one
dynasty ; when political struggles shall have for its
object to attain reforms and not to provoke revolu-
tions, then will the policy of resistance have seen
its day, while government will be enabled, with-
out danger, to open a greater field to liberty. These
considerations ought to strike the attention of elec-
tors of all opinions."
The occupation of Perim is thus commented on
by the Courier de Paris :
"The possession of this island completes in an
admirable manner the network of strategical posi-
tions which insures thesecurity of British commerce
and of the British navy. Complaints and repre-
sentations have been made in vain to the English
Government, which remains faithful to its ancient
traditions of developing its power wherever it has
set foot, of never (hawing back from a struggle,
but of always holding itself peepared for the latter.
The English, not contented with the ccaupation of
Perim, have already commenced erecting fortifica-
tions on that spot. It is high time to check the
continual encroachments of a power which violates
the plainest rules of the right of nations, which re-
spects neither solemn treaties nor the dignity of
its neighbours, and which, with insane blindness,
abandons itself to its lust for conquest and aggran-
disement, in spite of the lesson afforded by recent
misfortune. Let England reflect that the island of
Perim belongs to Turkey as much as the island of
Serpents, and that if the Porte has not the energy
to guard its own honour and integrity, it behoves
the great powers to undertake that task."

SARDINIA.
The Journal de Belgrade gives the following as
the text of the order from the Prince of Servia for
the release of the Servian senators, who had been
condemned to perpetual imprisonment fur a con
spiracy against the life of the Prince :
" Every one knows with what generosity the
Prince of Servia commuted into imprisonment for
life the capital punishment to which the senators
who were the authors of the conspiracy against
him had been condemned. The clemency of his
Highness towards the criminals did not stop there.
During the winter, and particularly on the occa-
sion of the great fetes, he deigned to ameliorate
their situation very considerably. Now that the
holy fetes of Easter are approaching, be does still
more. Actuabsd only by the feelings of his heart,
and animated with the desire to extend more
widely his right of pardon, he has, out of con-
sideration to the unfortunate families of the pri-
soners, Etienne Stafanovic, Paul Stanisic, Paul
Jankovic, Cvetoko Rajovic, and Milos Mercajiovic,
remitted their punishment of imprisonment, on
condition that they shall quit the territory of Ser-
via, and not return to it without his authorisation."
A letter from Semlin, in the Augsburg Gazette,
says :—" The documents relating to the last plot
against the life of Prince Alexander have been
handed tothe Turkish commissioner, Ethem Pacha,
who immethately forwarded them to Constanti-
nople. The commissioner has not been contented
with tho partial pardon granted to the condemned
senators, but has instituted a rigorous inquiry into
the grievances alleged against the prince and his
government. Since the Servian nation achieved
its independence, no Turkish envoy has been re-
ceived with the enthusiasm and pomp displayed on
the present occasion by the population of Belgrade.
This reception is, in fact, a demonstration of the
inhabitants against Austria and Russia, as well as
against Prince Alexander. The authority of the
latter is much shaken.".

The following is the text of the new delegation
conferred by King Frederick William on the Prince
of Prussia
The state of my health, in spite of the improve-
ment that, by Divine assistance, has taken place in
it, not yet permitting me, by the advice of my
physicians, to resume the affairs of the Govern-
ment-, I request and I charge your Royal Highness
by these presents to retain after the 23d April for
three other months my full powers for the direc-
tion of the affairs of the government and for the
administration of the affairs of my Royal Howe.
Tour Royal Highness will be kind enough to take
the necessary measures for this purpose.
" FREDERICK WILLIAM.
" Charlottenburg, April 9."
A letter from Berlin, in the German journal of
Frankfort, says :—" Accounts from the Lower
Danube state that the European commission as-
sembled at Bucharest has forwarded to the Govern-
ments who signed the treaty of Paris the general
part of its report. The labours of the commission
advance rapidly, and will, under any circumstances,
be all finished before the end of the month."

of the family loss which he has recently experienced,
and requested a leave of absence, which was granted.
The Senate adjourned after having assigned to the
various committees for examination the bills adopted
by the Chamber of Representatives. The next day

cipal councillors, and of two members of the Pro-
vincial Conned, elected by the respective councils.
Some of the members, however, intend to propose
the system of categories."
