FOREIGN MISCELLANI.

FRANCE.—AII the Russian residents in Paris; have
received orders from St. Petersburgli to settle their affairs,
and to hold themselves in readiness to leave France-at any
moment, should it become necessary for them to do so.
Several political arrests, some say as many as 18, have
lately been made at Dijon.—At Perigueux inflammatory
placards have been posted.—At Gasny, (Eure) 111. st week,
four seditious placards were torn down by the police. One
of them was in verse, and proclaimed the sovereignty of
the Capets.—Great complaints are made at L3.ons that the
Emperor's image is habitually defaced upon the copper
coinage, and it is probable that a decree will be issued,
declaring defaced money not a legal tendee.—On Monday
the Cour de Cassation met in full session,and gave judg-
ment in the proces of the " correspondence." It has
affirmed the right of the police to open letters at the post-
office. As this is the judgment of the united court, there-,
is no further appeal. Commissioners have been appointed
by the Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public
Works to prepare a report on the best mode of establish-
ing regularity and security in railway
.travelling.—Letters
from Vienna state that, during the interview which the
Duke of Nemours had at Frohsdorf with the Count de
Chambord, he treated him not only as a cousin, but as his
Sovereign ; and, in addressing him,. made use of the
words Sire," and " .Roi." On seeing about him. the
chiefs of the legitimist party who have not quitted the
Count de Chambord since Is3o, the Duke de Nemours
observed that he was too happy to see him surrounded by
personages who had proved their devotedness and fidelity
to the royal house of France. The Duchess of Orleans is
said to have given her adhesion to the fusion. If this be
the fact, her adviser, M. Tillers, is thrown overboard, and
his rival has gained clay.
SPAlN.—Accounts from Madrid of the 17th inst. state
that the bureau of the assembly will, in all probability, be
composed of the same members as last session. In the
senate the majority was doubtful, but the railway question
was considered likely to produce stormy debates. It was
believed that the session would be of short duration. The
es-Queen of the French, Mario Amelie, landed at .Cadiz
on the 13th, with the Princes, her sons.
On the 19th thelession of the Cortes was opened by a
royal commission. It is confidently stated that, in the last
council of ministers, it was decided to withdraw all pro-
jects for alterations of the constitution.
The Heraldo of the 17th contradicts the rumours re-
specting a projected Montemolinist movement. It also
states that the Spanish fleet is to be stationed at the Bale-
aric Isles.
PORTUGAL—The City of London ,embarked at Cadiz
the Prince and Princess de Joinville and suite for Lisbon,
and on arrival at that port the Princess dreamt of the
death of her royal sister having occurred but a few hours
before. The royal party were subsequently escorted to
the house of the Duchess of Braganza.
The King Consort had assumed the regency, and hr.d
issued the following proclamation :—" Portuguese,—God
has been pleased to call to his glory to-day, at half-past
eleven o'clock in the forenoon, the Queen Lady Donna
Maria the Second, my much-loved and highly-prized
spouse—a severe loss, which plunges me and my dear
children in the deepest grief, and fills the sensitive and
faithful Portuguese cation with mourning. In these sor-
rowful circumstances, obliged to fulfil those sacred duties
imposed upon me by the law of the 7th of April, 1846,
confirmed by the additional act to the constitutional char-
ter of the moarchy, I take upon myself the QUrd§s3
