ABANDONMENT OF THE NEGRO IM-
MIGRATION SCHEME.

The Moniteur de la Colonisation publishes the
'ollowing decree :-
4 To THE GOVERNOR OF LA REUNION.—PROHIBITION OF
ALL RECRUITING ON THE EASTERN COAST SF AFRICA
AND MADAGASCAR.

" 1859,

" M. le Gouverneur,--On receiving the present
despatch, you will take the most rigorous measures
for prohibiting all recruiting of labourers, either on
the eastern coast of Africa. or at Madagascar, or at
the Comores, and also the introduction into Re-
union of immigrants from those provinces or from
Sainte Marie, Mayotte and Nassi-Bee. I have
written to this effect to Lieut.-Colonel Morel.

" In acknowledging the receipt of the present
communication, you will acquaint me with the
number, the particulars, importance, and the date
of authorisation of such recruiting operations as,
with the assent of your administration, may be in
course of execution at the moment of the arrival of
the despatch, and which will on that account be
the only ones excepted from my decision.
" You will render me an account of the arrange.
ments which you adopt, to assure the strict execu-
tion of my directions in this respect.—Believe, &c.,
" The Prince charged with the Ministry of
Algeria and the Colonies,
" NAPOLEON (JEROME).
" P.S.—I enjoin upon you the strict and prompt
execution of this order."

PROPOSED CONGRISS •N THE
ITALIAN DIFFICULTY.

The Independance Belge of Wednesday evening
publishes a statement to the effect that the British
Cabinet has addressed the French, Austrian, and
other governments, with the object of reviving a
project proposed by Austria herself in 1848 to
Lord Palmerston for satisfying the requirements
of the Italians. This scheme establishes the
administrative separation of the Lombardo-Vene-
tian provinces from the other parts of the
monarchy, and in consideration of certain financial
conditions, assures them a quasi independence and
self government based upon constitutional prin-
ciples. The Independance adds that Russia and
France are willing to accede to this proposal ; but
a reply has not, as yet, been received from Vienna.
The same journal says :—" A circumstance which
to a certain extent corroborates this information,
and which we merely give out again without ac-
cepting the responsibility of it, is that at Vienna the
idea of a European Congress, convoked in order to
re-establish the good accord. of international rela-
tions, received at first very ungraciously, on account
of the interference by the other powers in the inter-
nal affairs of the empire, is beginning to gain ground,
and no longer encounters so much hostility,
This, at least, is what results from a letter addressed
from that capital to a ' Correspondance Generale' of
Paris. A Congress is the corollary to the proposal
initiated by England ; this alone can introduce into
the treaties of 1815, that fixed the political organi.
sation.of Italy, modifications as great as those it is
desired to effect. Only on this occasion the Congress
would meet in London, and no longer in Paris. It
is from the capital of England that the Lombards
and Venetians would await the liberal' institutions
which, since their annexation to Austria, they have
vainly demanded by means of incessant conspiracies
and repeated insurrections."

ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, COVENT.

" Hail this auspicious morn,
To Prussia's throne is born
A Royal Heir.
May he defend its laws,
Joined to old England's cause;
Thus-win all men's applause,
God save the Queen I"

The announcement of the safe accouchement of
the Princess Frederick William, made by Mr. W.
Harrison to a crowded auditory, was received with
every demonstration of loyalty. An impromptu
verse by Mr. Stirling, introduced by Miss Louisa
Pyne, was sung in the National Anthem :
