the tastes of his Parisian subjects. The garden of the
Tuileries, the Place de la Concorde, and the Champs Ely-
sees, were made like fairy land, by the judicious display of
a.million of lamps, electric lights, and lustres. Boat races
took place on the Seine and at Bercy, 150,000 troops de-
filed before the Emperor and his court in the noble squire
which fronts the ancient palace of the Bourbons, while the
equestrian artistes of the Hippodrome and the Cirque
Napoleon appeared in two spectacles in the Champs de
Mars,. namely, " The Field of the Cloth of Gold?' and.
"The Siege of Lahont." Madame Saq-ui, though seventy-
six years of age, danced with incredible agility on the
tightrope, and M. Binslay performed a variety of feats in
his enchanted ball. In the evening the theatres were
thrown open gratuitously to the public.
The rumoured approaching marriage of Prince Napo-
leon with a daughter of Queen Christina, which has been
repeatedly contradicted, may now be looked upon as quite
a settled thing. The attentions of the Prince to the
young lady, at the Fite, were very marked. The settle-
ments are already in course of discussion, and Marshal
Jerome will shortly pay a visit to Queen Christiana at
Havre to make a formal demand of her daughter's hand.
GREECE.—The Athens journals announce that the
Chamber of Deputies has passed a law prohibiting the
exportation of corn during 1853, and giving authority to
the Xing to prolong the prohibition by Royal decree. The
new law also abolishes the sliding scale, and establishes a
fixed duty upon imports of corn.
SwEpvs.—A letter from Stockholm, of August 8, says :
1":" Yesterday the Chamber of Commerce declared Ham-
Altona, Dantsic, and Archangel infected with
Virlera, and all the ports of the White Sea, and those on
e north of Germany suspected. The. cholera has burst
out at Carlscroon, and th •• have been isolated cases in
several other places" el
Ausrnu...--The conference of the representatives of the
four Powers continues sitting at Vienna. The German
papers say they are now conside • the question of foreign
refugees in Turkg
t Turkey. The " Emperor has set out for Ischl,
where several members of the Inaperial family are staying.
ills Majesty th 4 King of Prussia is expected there by the
middle of September, and on the occasion of his return
will probably honour the military camp near Olmiitz with
his pre,sence; • Austria has addressed to all the Governments
in Europe a long memorandum, showing the occurrences
at Smyrna in the light_ of: a first step towards the realiza-
tion of the Monroe doctrine, the part of the United
States.

The Austrian post-office authorities }lave given notice,
that the mouth of the Danube being the impassable,
Con-
stantinople mail will be forwarded every Wednesday, by
way of Trieste. Letters for Jassy will be sent every Thurs-
day, by way-o£ Galatz. -30 Austrian vessels laden with
corn are to be towed up the river from Sulina.

RussiA.-=-The Emperor of Russia has also had his great
naval- review. On the 15th of July he inspected the
manceuvres of a fleet of sixty-three sail ; with which he
declared himself highly satisfied. The Journal of St.
Petersburg has been publishing ostentatious statistics of
the number of troops conveyed along the Moscow and
Petersbufg railway since its opening. Intelligence from
Vienna states that ambassadors extraordinary from the
Schah of Porsia had arrived at St. Petersburg, accompanied
bythe nephew of Prince Dolgoraki, the Russian ambassador
In Persia. The Czar has given the Hospodars their free
Choice whether to go to Constantinople, in obedience to the
Burnmoni of the Porte, or to remain in their respective
territories.
