FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The Neuchatel Conference met to-day, and went
through the important operation of reading the
project of arrangement between Switzerland and
Prussia. It is for M. Hatzfeld and Dr. Kern to
accept, or leave ; and it is said the Plenipotentiaries
will not be sorry to get rid of the affair.
The numerous official relations which Feruk-
Khan, the Persian Ambassador, has forme' since
his arrival in Europe will detain him in Pari*
until September next, when he hopes to return
to Persia.
It is stated that the Commissioners appointed
by the Emperor to report on the expediency of
removing the convicts from Guiana to New Cale-
donia have recommended the smell Island of
Pines for the seat of the new penal settlement.
It is ono of the same group, and is said to be
remarkable for the salubrity of its climate.
His Majesty yesterday received General Khere-
dine, who had been charged with a special mission
from the Bey of Tunis, and who is now about to
leave Paris.

By order of the Emperor, Mr. Thomas Allan
attended this morning at the Tuileries, for the pur-
pose of exhibiting to his Majesty bis electro mag-
netic machine at work. The Emperor, who is tho-
roughly master of the subject, both in its chemical
and mechanical bearings, exami►:ed the novel ma-
shine most minutely, and deigned to express him-
self in very complimentary terms towards the in-
ventor. Mr. Allan had also the honourof explaining
fully his new system of submarine telegraphing,
which excited the lively interest of his Majesty.
Colonel Fave, Professor at the Ecole Poly technique,
and Dr. Conneau were ;present during the experi-
ments and were warm in their expressions of ad-
miration at the masterly manner in which Mr.
Allan has, after years of indefatigable research, at
length solved the veocata questio of the practical ap-
plication of electricity as a motive power.
The Nord publishes a letter from its Paris cor-
respondent, in which it is stated that, notwith-
standing the assertions to the contrary, made by
several journals, the affair of Neuchatel is in a fair
way of being arranged. Count Walewski has, it
states, proposed a middle course, which, the above
journal declares, is likely to be accepted by all
pukes.
