PARIS, MONDAY MORNING.
The departure of the Marquis di Cantono, the
Sardinian Minister, from Vienna has not yet been
officially announced here; nevertheless it is gene-
rally believed to have taken place.
The Conference on the Neuchatel question was to
have met to-day, but did not, the Swiss Plenipo-
tentiary not being yet prepared with a categorical
answer to the propositions of M. de Hatzfeld.
Captain Roussin, commander of the steam sloop
Averne, who is appointed to proceed to the mouths
of the anube to be stationed there, has been sum-
moned to Paris to receive special instructions from
the Government. The Averne is at Toulon, under-
going repairs.
It laas been decided that Admiral Hamelin, Mi-
nister of Marine, accompanied by the French Board
of Admiralty, will proceed to Toulon, to receive
the Grand Duke Constantine, who will proceed to
England after having visited France.
The Moniteur publishes a decree granting the
military medal to 183 non-commissioned officers
and privates of different regiments, all of whom
have either lost limbs or been severely wounded
during the late war.

Fer-ukk Khan is expected in a few days back
in Paris from London. When he shall have
received from the court of Teheran the ratifi-
cation of the treaty which has just been COE-
chided between Persia and England, he will return
to London accompanied by all the members of his
legation. It is said that he will terminate in that
capital the negotiations entered into with different
powers for commercial treaties with Persia, and
will embark in September to return to his own
country.

The surprising defeat sustained by the Man-
chester party in England is thus briefly commented
on by the Presse:—

"The English elections are going on with rapidity,
and we are already acquainted with a third of the re-
sults. They prove to be both a victory of the Lliberal
party over the Conservative party, and a personal
triumph of Lord Palmerston. The personal suc-
cess of Lord Palmerston consists above all in-
the check sustained by some of his most re-
markable and most meritorious adversaries. If Glad,
stone and Roebuck have been reelected, Cobden, Bright
Gibson, and Layard have lost their seats. The defeat
of the Manchester school is a deplorable triumph of
party spirit '.'but popularity is easily reconquered, and
Cobden and Bright will doubtless not long remain exiled
from Parliament."

The Union offers the following remarks on the
re-election of Lord Palmerston :

"No doubt was ever entertained with regard to the
re-election of Lord Palmerston at Tiverton ; we have
therefore simply to announce the success of the noble
lord. We will not dwell on the speech he delivered
to the electors, for we prefer the address
published by him a few days ago, which was
clearer and more satisfactory. ue sentence
has, however, excited our attention ; it is where the
Premier declares ' that the commercial intercourse of
England with foreign States shall be as free in regard to
tariffs as the laws, &c., of those countries may permit.'
This passage deserves to be recorded, for it comprises the
whole policy of England."
