FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.
Official despatches have been received from St.
Petersburg announcing that the Duke de Monte-
bello had been most graciously received by the Em-
peror Alexander. The French Foreign-office seems
to set much importance Oh the presence of the new
ambassador at St. Petersburg.
M. Haussmann, lately appointed French Consul
at the Cape of Good' Elope, has left Paris for
Southampton to embark for his pose.
The Pays says that the announcement in several
foreign journals that the French Government is at
present fitting out a fleet at Toulon to make a
demonstration on the coast of Morocco is not true.

The screw ship of the line Austerlitz sailed from
Brest on Tuesday last for Toulon to reinforce the
Mediterranean fleet.

A letter from Marseilles, dated yesterday, states
that a hurricane from the west, which continued
to blow on Tuesday and Wednesday last with in-
tense fury, caused great anxiety for the ships i❑
the offing. The French steamer, with the mails
from Alexandria of the 18th inst., had not been
able to reach Marseilles. She took refuge in the
roads of Toulon.

Letters from Rome announce that, owing to the
intervention of the Pope, Dom Miguel accepts the
lolsis of the propositions made to him by his
nephew, the Kng of Portugal, and that a recon-
ciliation is about to take place between the two
chiefs of the House of Braganza.
Official despatches, which have reached Paris
from China, lead to the conclusion that the envoys
of England and France scarcely hope to accomplish
their views without further hostilities. An ordinary
despatch says :—Advices from China to the 12th of
April state that in reply to an address from the Bri-
tish merchants at Canon, Lord Elgin assured them
that the demands of the Allies were moderate, but
that they would insist on their being complied with.
They are prepared to resort if necessary to force, and
they will not shill*, should it be found requisite,
from carrying hostilities to the very walls of Pekin.
The Hong Kong papers state that Teent-Sin, a small
harbour about 50 miles from Pekin, will easily fall
into the hands of the Allies, and they urge that
gunboats should be sent up to the capital. At Can-
ton the native authorities secretly persecute and
torture all who are suspected of favouring the allies.
Great atrocities have been discovered. In the in-
land provinces anarchy is said to be on the in-
crease.'

Additional resignations have been received from
the directors of the charitable endowmentsi n the
principal towns in France, in consequence of
M. Espinasse's unlucky "ordre du jour," by cmr-
te,y called circular, for the sale of the property,
and that the Prefects have been orde ed not to
accept the resignations. How the directors can be
compelled to exercise these functions, gratuitous
as they are, against their will, it is difficult to
imagine. So strong is the feeling on this subject
that it is found necessary to administer an antidote
to the "Circular." The Moniteur will probably
contain in a day or two something meant to be
c mediatory.
The plan for the new organization of Algeria,
with Prince Napoleon as Pro-consul or Imperial
Lieutenant, has been submitted to the Councl of
State. The Council has called for documents from
the War-office.

M. de Pene, the victim of the duel with Sub-
Lieutenant Hyenne, is to-day reported better, but
no well-founded hope is felt of his ultimate recovery.
Hyenne and Courtiel (the latter a near relative of
the Mmister of the Interior, and whose conduct in
the first duel was admitted to be honourable), were
summoned to Versailles. The officers of the garri-
son gave them an entertainment, and it is said
that a toast was drunk to the defenders of the
army, with some smart remarks about journalism
and journalists. The animosity between the mili-
tary and the opposite element, the civil, grows
stronger and stronger, and envenoms the existing
discontent. Among the men of sense and honour
in the army who have disapproved in very decided
terms the second duel, is General Macmahon. The
law officers are determined to follow up the affair
vigorously.
The following telegraphic despatches have been
received her. :

" BERLIN, May 28.—Accounts from Constantinople,
of the 22d, state that the Council of Ministers had as-
sembled on the previous day, and came to a decision
wi h regard to Montenegro. A fresh circular from the
Porte was expected on the eve of the f,to a the Ramazan.
An engagem,-nt has taken place between the Circassians
and the Russian garrison of Jekaterinodar, in which the
latter lost 300 men."

" BERNE, May 28.—The French vice-consul has been
received at Cheux-de-FondP. At the reception dinner
he declared his hope thtt the institution of a vice-consu-
late would be useful to the commercial relations of the
two countries. A god impression has been everywhere
produced in favour of th 3 new functionary."
