On Saturday their Majesties the King and Queen of
the French received the Austrian and Neapolitan Am-
bassadors, the Ministers of Prussia and Wirtumberg,
M. Sauzet, President of the Chamber of Deputies, the
Prefects of the Seine and Maye•one, General Sebastiani,
the Marquis de Gabriac, the Count de Bondy, and the
Lucost, Member of the Chamber of Deputies.
The deputies forming part of the Agricultural Com-
mittee of the Chamber were to meet on Monday, to
consider what measures it was advisable to adopt in order
to prevent the epideray now prevailing among the cattle
in Germany from extending its ravages to France. The
malady is said to have made its appearance on the fron-
tiers of Rhenish Prussia and the Dutch Limburg, within
a short distance of Belgium. The provincial authorities
of that kingdom were taking precautions against the
scourge.
The Gazette (J. Augsburgh states that both Govern-
ment and individnals in Italy are restoring to the reli-
gious orders, more particularly to the Jesuit , the pro-
perty formerly belonging to them, but which had been
secularised. The Jesuits have been solemnly installed
in the Duchy of Nassau, and not only the care of the
University, but the whole superintendence of education
has been confided to their care.

Letters from Dresden announce, that at the request of
Meyerbeer, the King of Prussia has consented to devote
the gross receipts at the Opera House, or, the next re-
presentation of one of Weber's operas, to the subscrip-
tion fur the Weber monument. Mendelssohn at Berlin,
Liszt at Paris, and Bt nedict in London, have each an-
nounced their intention of giving a concert, the proceeds
of which will be devoted to the same purpose.
Letters from Vienna, of the 10th, announce that the
courier from Constantinople, had brought intelligence
of the renewal of' those attacks of epilepsy, from which
the Sultan had so frequently suffered. He had recently
had a fit of an alarming character in the mosque, while
performing his devotions, and fears are entertained that
he will at length sink under these attacks.
