PARIS, MONDAY.
The departure of the Grand Duke from Paris is
fixed for Saturday, the 16th. He will arrive at
Creuzot on the 17th, and return to Paris the 18th,
when he will leave again directly for Bordeaux.
He will arrive at Rochefort on the 20th, and on
the 21st he will visit Indret, L'Orient on the 23d,
Brest on the 24th, Cherbourg the 28th, and Os-
borne, in the Isle of Wight, on the 30th.
The marine department has freighted a steamer
belonging to a private company at St. Nazaire for
the service of the Grand Duke Constantine on the
20th, 21st, and 22d of this month. H.I.H. is to
arrive at St. Nazaire in the Reine Hortense, after
visiting Bordeaux and Rochefort. The Prince's
present intention is to visit Indret, but the Nantes
people hope he will be induced to go to that town,
and accept a dinner and ball. On leaving St.
Nazaire, the Grand Duke is to proceed to Lorient.
General de Be ville, aide-de-camp of the Emperor,
Count Tascher de la Pagerie, first chamberlain to
the Empress, and Count de Riancourt, equery to
the Emperor, will in a few days leave for Lyons,
to meet the King of Bavaria, and accompany his
Majesty to Fontainebleau.
The Cabinet of the Tuileries has received the re-
ply of the Swiss Government on the subject of the
publication of the documents relative to the Neu-
chatel affair. The Federal Council is said to justify
the publication which it made by the difference ex-
isting between the institutions of Switzerland and
those of monarchical States. It maintains that a
republican government cannot regard as an act of
indiscretion a publication which was required by
strict duty towards the confederated States of
which Switzerland is composed. In the second
place, the Federal Council explains the haste with
which it published the documents in question, by
stating that it was under the conviction that the
negotiations were terminated, and that Prussia,
like Switzerland, had no choice between a formal
adhesion to the projected arrangement and an ab-
solute rejection of it. Lastly, the Federal Council
declared that the text of the resolutions adopted
by the representatives of the four great powers
cannot be modified ; and that, for its part, it will
abide strictly by the arrangement made, and will
accept no new condition from the King of Prussia.
The following telegraphic despatches have been
received from Paris
MARSEILLES, May 11.—The Courrier de Mar-
-1 seilles mentions a tragical event which has taken
place in Persia. According to this journal, Gen.
Stalker, the commandant of the British land
forces, and Commodore Cherydge, who commands
the English squadron, are said to have committed
suicide. Great anarchy is said to reign in Persia,
where Sattrakan is still in favour. Accounts from
Constantinople to the 4th state that Ali Ghaleb,
son of Reschid Pacha, and Member of Ithe Council
of the Tanzimat, has been named Minister of
Foreign Affairs in the room of Ethem Pacha, who
is named Member of the Council of Tanzimat. This
change has been favourably received."
" MARSEILLES, May 10.—The Journal de Con-
stantinople of the 30th ult. announces that the
bank affair of Wilkins has failed. The same paper
states that another English combination on a re-
stricted scale has been rejected. The Turkish
bankers have made propositions which are inaccept-
able. The Presse d'Orient mentions a number of
attacks on persons in the Turkish capital. The Bey
of Tunis has been decorated by Austria, on the occa-
sion of an advantageous treaty recently concluded.
The inhabitants of that regency are irritated at the
heavy taxes imposed on them, and the seizures
which have taken place on account of non-pay-
ment. A great number of them are emigrating
into Algeria. Some alarm is felt at Jerusalem in
consequence of the presence there of 12,000 Greek
pilgrims."

1.1 BERLIN, May 10.—Immediately on the ar-
rival of Prince Napoleon at Berlin, the King went
to visit him and presented to him the officers of
his military household. Shortly after, the Prince
returned the visit of his Majesty and was presented
to the Queen. He afterwards proceeded to visit
the Prince of Prussia. The reception given to his
Imperial Hignhess by the Prussian Royal family
has been most friendly and cordial. The Prince,
the next day, the 9th, delivered to the King n
autograph letter from the Emperor of the French,
relative to the affair of Neuchatel. His Imperial
Highness visited the President of the Council, and
was present at a grand review, after which he dined
with his Majesty and the royal family at Chariot-
tenburg. It is said that Prince Napoleon will
leave on Wednesday next, and that he has ex-
pressed a desire to visit Prince Frederick William
at Breslau."

" VIENNA, May 10.—An imperial decree pro-
nounces an amnesty for all Austrian subjects (not
Lombardo-Venetians) imprisoned for the crime of
high treason, insult, or rebellion, and orders their
being set at liberty."
