BERNE, APRIL 9.

The Berne Gazette contradicts the assertion made
in some foreign journals of an indemnity of 60,000 f.
having been offered by Switzerland. Public opi-
nion is not absolutely opposed to the payment of a
sum of money, but it protests with energy against
any title being assumed by Prussia.

Intelligence has been received from Constanti-
nople to the 4th. The investigation relative to the
landing of arms on the coast of Circassia has been
terminated. The Sultan will decide the punish-
ment for such functionaries as are involved in the
matter. Ten steamers have been ordered in Eng-
land for the coast service of the Black Sea. The
town of Khulkal in Persia has revolted in conse-
quence of a scarcity of provisions. The governor
was obliged to take to flight.

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
General Todleben, accompanied by several
Russian officers, yesterday visited the Hotel des
Invalides, where he was received with much cour-
tesy by the staff of that Establishment. The
general, who speaks French fluently, conversed
with several invalids who hadserved in the Crimea.
M. Emile Pereire, president of the board of di-
rectors of the Southern Railway Company, has
been promoted to the rank of officer in the Legion
of Honour.

The commission nominated last year on the
monetary question, composed of MM. Magne,
Schneider, Elie de Beaumont, Michel Chevalier,
de Parieu, Boinvilliers, and Ernest Andre, met
yesterday under the presidency of M. Schneider
—the Minister of Finance, M. Magne, being
prevented by other occupations from presiding.
The commission has ascertained from official re-
turns that the arrivals of the precious metals in
France exceed the exports by more than
1,500,000,000 f. ; and from inquiries made of the
receivers-general and their financial agents, it ap-
pears that never was there so much specie in France
as at present. In the departments where the ex-
penses have not increased so enormously as at
Paris, the quantity of coined money is stated to be
immense, and the peasants who formerly carried
about them, or concealed, a piece of 20f. now do
the same with. 100 f., or even in a greater propor-
tion. That fact tends to explain how it is that
with a larger amount of the precious metals com-
ing into the country specie is anything but ahnn -
dant.

"Several foreign journals, "says the Pays, "have
announced that Piedmont is abut to form a
camp of 20,000 men at Alexandria. Our letters
from Turin do not confirm this statement. The
adoption by the Minister of War of the necessary
measures for the organisation of the manceuvres
which take place every year for the construction of
the pupils of the cavalry school of the Veneria
Reale, having been mentioned by the Military
Gazette of Turin, gave rise to the above-mentioned
incorrect announcement."
