PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.
Princa Napoleon, although there were circum-
stances which had thrown some doubt upon the
rumour of his intention to go to Prussia, actually
started fcr Berlin tiis morning.
M. Lafragua, the Mexican Envoy to Spain, has
not yet left Paris ; he expects, however, soon todo
so, perhaps on Saturday. There is now more than
a probability of a pacific set.t!emeut of the question
between the two Governments.
It is now known that the telegraphic despatch,
anuounciog that the Court of Teheran had refused
to ratify the treaty of peace signed at Paris, came
from St. Petersburgh. It is said in that capital that
ihe Russian Government had sent orders to their
Minister at Teheran to insist on certain modifica-
tions in the treaty.

It is said that the cause of c.,mplaint of the
French Government against that of China is not
only the execution of a French missionary,
named Chspdeline, but that the Mandarin who
committed that act of barbarity caused the treaty
signed between France and the Ce"estial Empire to
be solemnly burned on a pile of wood.
A council of Ministers, at which the Emperor
pre-ided, was held yesterday at the Tuileries.
The Moniteur says ':—" Baron Gross has been
designated by the Emperor to proceed to China in
quality of extraordinary coriunissioner. Lord Elgin
has received from the Government of her Britannic
Majesty a similar mission, with the same title, and
the two plenipotentiaries will lend each other mu-
tual co-operation in the negotiations which have
been confided to them, and the success of which
will doubtless open a new field to Christian civilisa-
tion and to the commerce of all nations."—The
Constitution/lc/ gives some details as to the
precise object of Baron Gros' mission. It says :
—" This diplomatist will have to demand from
the Chinese government reparation for wrongs pe-
culiar to France alone. Among others is the mur-
der of M. Chappedelaine, the missionary, who was
last year put to death under the most atrocious cir-
cumstances. He is also to demand a fresh treaty of
comm,rce. The French squadron is so composed
as to be able to ascend the rivers, and thus act so
strongly on the Chinese government as to compel
it to satisfy the demands made."

PIEDMONT.
TURIN, MAX 4.
That worthy and exemplary lady, Queen Chris-
is now in Turin. The debate on
ttihneaalir)-f Spain, is
of the naval arsenal from Genoa
to Spezia still continue:, and may yet last for days.
The great speech has been that of the Minister for
Pulle Works, M. Paleocapa. He is upwards of
70 yews of age, and nearly blind. A Venetian by
bif th, he served under Rapp at the siege of Danzig
as a young engineer officer with groat eclat. He
planned and executed that railway from the ma n-
land across the Lacomes to Venice, and is looked
upon as one of the''first engineer:4 of Eur. p In
1848 he WAS a member of the Provisional G-overn-
ment at Venice. In 1849 he chino to Piedmont,
when Marquis Azeglio was at the head of the
Government, who appointed him Minister of
Public Works for this kingdom. Many of the op-
position found fault with Spezia a 4 le3ing on the
frontier, but he cited with great effect how Peter
the Great had placed St. Petersburg in the same
relative position, and added he was certain, if the
Chamber could do it, they would place Turin on the
Lombardy frontier. Government will to a cer-
tainty carry their plan.
