Company :
" MARSEILLES, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
" The Euxine, with the mails from Bombay,
arrived at Marseilles at 6 a.m. this day.
" The mails leave for London at 10 a.m.
"Passengers are to remain in quarantine for 33
hours."

The following telegrams were received at Mr
Reuter's office, Jan. 18th :
PARIS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 19.

The Moniteur of this morning announces that
the fines imposed upon 89 political prisoners have
been commuted by the King of Naples to banish-
ment. The prisoners will be despatched to the
United States. These measures of clemency have
been brought to the knowledge of the French Go-
vernment by that of Naples itself.

MARSEILLES, JAN. 18.
Advices have been received from Naples to the
15th inst.

The text of the Royal edict of the 13th inst.
comprehends the whole kingdom. Councils of war
will be instantly called in all places where political
disturbances may break out. The councils will
have to decide upon the indemnity to be granted to
those States which have suffered injury, and their
duty will also be to fix the amount of reward to be
given to such persons as may have co-operated in
the suppression of disturbances. It is asserted
that a message in cipher received from London was
the cause of this measure. The public funds have
fallen 31 per cent. within the last few days, and
now stand at 115 with a fiat tendency.
According to advices from Rome, Lord Strat-
ford de Radcliffe was received by the Pope in a
private audience, which was of very long duration.
His lordship will soon return to London.

It is stated that the Austrians will declare a
state of siege in the States of the Church.

The Paris Correspondent of the Times (Second
Edition), says :
" Notwithstanding the hopes of some future
aggrandisement in Italy, the influence of the
Emperor of the French, and the attractions of his
intended son-in-law, it is affirmed that the King of
Sardinia did not give his consent to the marriage
of his daughter without much hesitation and much
difficulty. When the matter was first broken to
him, Victor Emmanuel was as much taken by
surprise as the public has been on learning that it
was concluded. The ancient lineage of the one
and the recent rise of the other may have had
some weight with the descendant of the old and
glorious house of Savoy, all liberal as he is
in politics, and free and easy as he may be
in familiar intercourse, for the prejudices of
race never are really eradicated. The objections,
however, are said not to have been confined exclu-
sively to that. The uncertainty of affairs in France,
the possibility of future changes—for nothing is
impossible—and the inconvenience that might arise
to Sardinia, owing to a variety of causes too
numerous to be detailed, were urged. I suppose
the parties to whom they were offered did their best
to remove them—not successfully, however, as it
would seem, for it required the direct intervention
of a third party to induce Victor Emmanuel to give
his consent. When the Grand Duke Constantine
was last here this alliance was talked over. His
Highness's influence was won in favour of the
Prince, and, in compliance with the wishes ex-
pressed at Turin, its action was brought to bear on
the King. Moreover, the Grand Duke asked his
brother, the Emperor Alexander, to write an auto-
graph letter to his Royal brother of Sardinia.
The request was complied with, and, according to
this account, if his Imperial Highness Prince Napo-
leon has obtained the hand of a Princess of Savoy,
it is owing to the direct intervention of the Czar.
Of the sentiments of the Princess Clotilde little is
said. A refusal on her part was, I dare say, never
taken into account. The connexion with the Im-
perial family of France will doubtless be compen-
sated by future advantage, and this ambition may
reconcile the Piedmontese Iphigenia to her new
condition. The Prince is intelligent and liberal,
and, so far as this ought to have weight, he is the
son of a father who was a King, and of a mother
who was of Royal race."
