• • JUILI
ult. A Ministerial journal confines itself to stating that he had
scarcely landed when he had an audience of the King, and that
he returned the following day to Naples. On the subject of this
visit we have received the following details :—" Without any
communication with the other members of the diplomatic
body, M. de Montebello took it into his head to go and
make his court to the Emperor of Russia. With this intent
he left Naples on the 30th, with only a single servant, and
without any other suite, by the Narval. Instantly on his arrival
at Palermo he waited on the King of Naples, who did not by
any means expect such a visit, and acquainted him with his
intention His Sicilian Majesty replied that the Emperor
of Russia had expressed his desire to be treated as a simple tra-
veller, and therefore the foreign ambassadors had pot been con-
voked. His Majesty concluded by recommending the Duke to
relinquish his intention. M. de Montebello could not but yield to
his Majesty's advice, given as it was with the utmost politeness,
took leave of the King, went and passed the night on board the
steamer, and returned the next day to Naples. It seems that this
foolish enterprise of our ambassador arose out of an idea of his
own brain. He evidently fancied that, inspired by his natural
genius, he could by going over reconcile the Court of Russia with
that of France. He had obtained leave to quit his post, and come
and pass some days in France but on learning that the Czar was
coming into the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, he suddenly re.
flounced his journey to Paris. He it was who first conceived the
notion of offering to the Empress the palace at Palermo, which
belongs to the King and Queen of the French, but the Neopolitan
Government cooly intimated to him that the King had not for.
gotten to provide a suitable residence for her Imperial Majesty.
Is not this sufficient to recall to mind the dictum of Prince Talley-
rand—`above all, no zeal."

The Courrier Francais bas a paragraph respecting the EH-
, PEROR himself no less curious. It says :—" According to a
report in general circulation in diplomatic circles, the Em-
peror NICHOLAS proposes to abdicate the supreme power,
and with this view left the reins of Government at his de-
parture from Italy, in the hands of the heir presumptive to
the Throne." The writer adds :—" This becomes probable
when we consider that PETER the GREAT, by a ukase de-
clared that his descendants, on attaining a reign of 25 years,
should have a right to issue ukases in their own name with-
out the participation of the Senate. It is generally known
in Russia that no CZAR ever reigned for so long a period as
25 years; and if Nicnotas should abdicate, perhaps this
ukase may have been an influential cause of his resolution."
The following are other extracts from the papers :

The France says :—" Yesterday at ten o'clock in the morning,
in all the churches of Paris, number of the faithful crowded round
the alters to thank God and send up their ardent prayers. Re-
ligious faith and monarchial faith possess mysteries of consolation
and hope."—By way of solving this enigmatical paragraph to the
uninitiated, we must remind them that the marriage of the sister of
the Duke de Bordeaux took place yesterday at Frobsdorlf."
The Archimede left Suez on September 22, stopped for a
few hours only, on the 29th, at Aden, and then went on to the
southern point of Ceylon. She will make a short stay at Macao,
and bring M. Lagrene to Suez. He will return through Egypt.
The Cleopatra will also return to France, so that only two ships
will remain with Admiral Cecille.
The Augsburgh Gazette gives the following from Athens, 26th
ult. :—" The note which the Opposition has been se long ex-
pecting from London, is arrived at last, but it does not appear to
be very satisfactory to them, as it is not so much talked about as it
was before. It is said to be in accordance with the sentiments of
Sir Edmund Lyons. It is certain that it demands payment of one.
third of the arrears of interesr due to England, and the guarantee
of the loan. It is also reported that Russia has made the same
demand, and that her Charge d'Affaires has received instructions
on the subject through the Russian Ambassador at London. The
French legation has not received any such orders, which is held to
be significative of the cordial understanding. The note urges a
reduction of the army, but this is repelled by the Chamber, which
yesterday voted the budget of the Minister of War without any
diminution. Recently twenty Greeks were massacred by the
Turks on the frontier. It is important to bring this fact to the
public knowledge, for if a Turk is killed an outcry is raised as if the
Ottoman empire were in danger; but the murder of a Greek is
spoken of as a natural ocenrrence."
" The last decision signed by Marshal Soult,'' says the Presse,
" relates to the clothing of the cavalry and of the squadrons of
the artillery trains. He wished, it is said, before quitting the
Ministry, to attach his name to a regulation which should settle
definitively the numerous experiments made in the clot:tang of
these troops by committees appointed for that purpose. The de-
parture tf the Marshal has been signalised by favour; of various
kinds. 'Several decorations have been given in the bureaux, ad-
vancements have taken place amongst the ernp'.eyes of all ranks and individual presents have been distributed.' ,
The Stock and Share Market at Paris, on Tuesday, was
not so good as on the preceding (ley. Railway Shares de-
clined. Amalgamations, it wa3 understood, would be formed
between different companies for inportant lines, and it was

the company formed by ROTIISCFULD, the Comp
