On Tuesday evening their Majesties the King and
Queen of the French received Generals Schneider and
Pelet, the Marquis de nadpont, the Counts do St. Priest,
Cholet, de Montesquiou, and d- Grave, the Viscount de
Lmjuinais, the Baron de Vandeul, and MM. Baguet
Xeine, Fould, and Lebrun.
Mme. Cunin Gridaine, wife of the Minister of Coin-
merce, received a sprain a few days ago, which will
oblige her to remain in an incumbent posture for some
time.

The Minister of the Marine has just decreed a gold
medal to Captain Chausse, as a reward for his conduct in
April laet, %nen in command of Le Cygne, in the port of
Aux Cayes (Hayti). at the time of the invasion of that
place by the revolted negroes of the interior, and on
which occasion he gave refuge on board his vessel to
450 women and children, who took refuge from the ex-
cesses of the infuriated negroes.
We read in the Consiitutionnel—" The Prince de
Joinville, it appears, has not renounced the intention of
taking the Princess to 113 rirces, for the benefit of the cli
mate ; for it is said that apartments have been taken for
their Royal Highnesses, that furniture has been sent off,
and that they will take their departure for the island on
January 15."

A niece of the Abl4 de l'Ephe died on Saturday last in
the Hopital Necker.

Mr. David Salornons has arrived in Paris.

The t 'hamber of Commerce of Boulogne has addressed
a memorial to the Minister of Commerce, recommending
that the Government should reduce the charge now made
for passports to foreign countries to that for passports to
the interior of France, and also permit the mayors of
towns to grant passports for foreign countries, as they
now do those for the interior. Should this recommenda-
tion be complied with, very great delay will be saved to
persons in the provinces, who cannot now obtain a pass-
port for a foreign country without passing through many
tedious formalities.

The Globe says:—" The negotiations between the
Cabinet of Vienna and the Porte, concerning a revision
of the existing treaties of commerce ;and navigation, are
going on very slowly, the Porte having constant recourse
to subterfuges, and every expedient to delay bringing
them to a conclusion. We have credible information,
however, that the new treaty of commerce between the
Porte and Russia is concluded, and contains stipulations
very favourable to the last-named nation.

Our correspondent at Turin," says the Presse,
" writes that on the 7th inst., about eighty men, gen-
darmes forest-keepers, and officers of the Customs, in-
vaded the territory of Sardinia with warrants to arrest
Sardinians charged with coming and cutting wood in the
forest of the Chartreuse. Six or seven of these men
were seized, bound, and carried by force to Grenoble, in
spite of the protests of the Sardinian authorities. The
Cabinet of Turin has sent remonstrances to the French
Government against this violation of territory. The
Government has not yet received sufficient information
to enable it to give any answer. It is probable, neverthe-
less, that satisfactory explanations will be shortly given
justifying the conduct of the French authorities."
Colonel Kuggenbugler, one of the chiefs of the late
insurrection at Lucerne, died a few days ago at Lenz-
burg, in the canton of Argau, of an illness arising from
the latigue and privations which he sustained in arriving
at the scene of conflict, and his subsequent grief at the
failure of the outbreak.
Letters from the frontiers of Catalonia of the 17th
December state that the cold was at that time more
severe in that province than has ever been remembered.
The courier from Puycerda had not been able to pro-
essed with his dispatches, and the conductor of the mail
had been obliged to leave it at Rivas on account of the
depth of the snow, and eoTivey the letters on foot. A
letter from Vich of the 14th also states that the winter
is now mere severe than can be remembered by the oldest
man in that part of the country. The thermometer was
down to 13 degrees of Reaumur (2•75 above pro of
Fahrenheit).
A correspondent at Bologna writes, 14th inst.:—
" Snow has been falling incessantly for a week, and in
such quantity that the streets are blocked up. Several
roofs of houses have sunk under the weight, and some
rivers in the neighbourhood have been swelled above
their banks."

The monument to the memory of Lucien Bonaparte,
Prince of Canino, intrusted to the chisel of the cele-
brated sculptor Pampaloni, of Florence, is nearly finished.
It is formed out of a block of the most beautiful and
perfect white marble from the Monte Altissimo de Ser-
ravezza. It comprises eight figures in alto-relievo,
grouped with great harmony, and supporting an urn, in
which the remains of the deceased are to be deposited.
Count Gonfalonieri, formerly chief of the Carbonari
in the Austrian Slates of Italy, who, after passing the
best years of his life as a prisoner in the fortress of
Spielberg, was pardoned by the Emperor, is now living
at Rome, and, having entirely abandoned politics, passes
his time in a critical examination of the ancient monu-
ments of the city.
A letter t rom Rome states that the Pope gave audience
to the agents of several Belgian bankers, who have offered
to furnish him immediately with a loan of a million and
a half of Roman crowns (about Seven millions and a half
of francs).

We learn from Christina (Norway) that, on the 3d
inst., a sharp shock of earthquake was felt in several
parts of that province. The windows of most of the
houses were broken, the furniture was injured, and se
veral slight buildin4ss were thrown down. The shock
lasted more than a minute and a half, and was accom-
panied by a rumbling noise.
A Vienna letter of the 19th states that a Russian ship
had recently captured on the coast of the Tscherkesses a
Turkish vessel, laden with English arms and ammunition
for the mountaineers of the Caucasus.

The King of Hanover, says a German journal, has or-
dered that a monument similar to that of Queen Louisa
of Prussia, and which will cost 200,000 thalers (760,000
francs), shall be erected in honour of his late Queen, in
front of the Palace of Herrenhausen, near his capital.
A remarkably fine Pyrenean dog, which has been sent
from Pau to London, as a present to Queen Victoria, has
just passed through Paris. The animal is only nine
months old, but stands about three feet four inches Eng-
lish. He is entirely white except the head, which is
brown.
