LATEST NEWS.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, TUESDAY, MARCH 8.

The Constitutionnel publishes an article, signed
by its political director, A. Renee, on the recent
article of the Moniteur. It explains that the publi-
cation of the Moniteur article must not be regarded
as a retrograde movement (reculade), caused by the
crusade which an active propaganda had succeeded
in raising against the Emperor in Germany, as

some persons have asserted.
The article proceeds thus :—" Government has
loyally submitted to European diplomacy the
charge of discovering a means to solve the different
political differences of the day. The Emperor has
expressed his hope that the solution will be peace-
ful, and when such a declaration is made by a
Government which is well assured of its own power,
it ought to be believed, and not regarded with sus-
picion as an instance of reticence or weakness.
The Moiliteur of this morning contains the fol-

lowing decree :
" Our well loved cousin Prince Napoleon ceases,
at his own request, to be entrusted with the port-
folio of Minister for Algeria and the Colonies."
Prince Napoleon had already, on Saturday last,
tendered his resignation in the Council as Minister
of Algeria and the. Colonies, which, however, was
then rejected by the Emperor. The Prince yes-
terday repeated his request, and the Emperor
acceded. Both the Prince and the Emperor, how-
ever, are on the best footing towards one another,
and the Emperor is stated to have said that he
understands told honours the sacrifices of the Prince.
Count Prosper de Chasseloup, Loubat, deputy, and
manager of the Western Railway, has been ap-
pointed successor to the Prince on the Prince's own
proposition.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.

Mr. Gladstone leaves this evening for England.

Lord Brougham arrived here on Saturday, and
leaves to-day for his seat at Cannes, where he re-
mains till after the Easter holidays.
The first day's procession of the Beeuf-Gras took
place yesterday with all the ceremonial which tra-

dition has consecrated. The weather being ex-
ceedingly mild and spring-like, an immense crowd
thronged the Boulevards and all the leading

thoroughfares. Everywhere the procession was
attended by a vast number of sight-seers, whom
the spectacle appeared to amuse highly. A de-
tachment of the mounted municipal guard opened
the cortege, then came a certain number of run-
ners in rich dresses of red and green embroidered
with the arms of the city of Paris ; next, a band
of forty musicians, dressed as, musketeers; then a
certain number of cavalry, serving as a guard of
honour to M. Meeh; the purchaser of the oxen ex-
hibited this year, and M. Aveline, the person who
bred them, both of whom rode in plain clothes.
Next were seen a large body of horsemen in varied
costumes, representing the inhabitants of various

nations of the world, preceding the car on which
the hero of the day, the illustrious Bastien, was
borne along amidst the gaze of many thousands
of admirers. At the corners of the car stood four
brawny figures with club in hand, and clad in
crimson mantles, representing the sacrificing priests
of old. Then came another body of horsemen, fol-
lowed by the mythological car drawn by six horses.
Aloft sat Father Time, Venus, Cupid, and several
other of the deities of Olympus. Behind came
another body of horsen‘en clad in rich fancy
dresses, while another party of the municipal guard
closed the procession. The cortege was about
eight hours in making its wide-spread round, as it
left the abattoir at eleven, and did not return to its
starting point until seven in the evening.
BOURSE, March 7.—The market has been very
buoyant, and a further rise has taken place in secu-

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 26th ult.,
says :—" M. Sillem, a partner in the house of Hope,
of Amsterdam, and Mr. Baring, of London, having
arrived in this capital, negotiations were imme-
diately opened on the subject of a loan—negotia-
tions which, although carried on with activity,
have not yet led to any satisfactory result. It is
possible that an undefstanding may not be come
to, and that the loan, at least for the moment, will
not come to anything. The Russian Government,
inits desire to borrow money at present, is im-
pelled by the necessity of effecting a radical change
in the banking system in Russia, and not by any
immediate deficit in its budget, or by the want of
preparing any defensive armaments. Messrs. Bar-
ingand Sillem will, I understand, remain at St.
