FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY.

This day is hotter even than yesterday. The
thermometer marked 92 deg. Fahrenheit at 2 to-
day in the shade.
It is said that there is a party in Tuscany, though
not numerically strong, yet most active, now work-
ing Heaven and earth in favour of Prince Napoleon
as a candidate for a kingdom or principality in Cen-
tral Italy. In the meantime nothing can be stronger
than the denial in official quarters of any partici-
pation in or approval of these manoeuvres by the
Emperor and the personage for whom they are
carried on. This, however, proves little. If mat-
ters take the turn they deny they expect or wish
for, the Emperor and his cousin would probably
yield to a little gentle violence.
The last ships of war of the French squadron in
the Adriatic have quitted that sea under the orders
of the captain of the steam frigate [sly. It was at
the moment of their departure on the 17th inst.,
that the boiler of the large gun-brig Aigrette burst,
and the boat foundered. The full particulars of
the accident have not yet been received by the
Minister of Marine, but it is known, that the offi-
cers and the greater part of the crew were saved.
The crews of the Isly and the Monge afforded
every assistance to the sufferers.
"A rumour propagated by some foreign jour-
nals," says Galignani, "that the visit of the Grand
Duke Constantine to England has a political ob-
ject is contradicted with some energy in Russia.
The Grand Duke, the St. Petersburg journals as-
sert, is a sailor before all things, tw.nd he has gone
into England to study the progress of the navy,
just as last year he visited France with the same
object.
The following are the dates of the births of the

nication with that port.
