LATEST FROM FRANcE.-The ship elena.
It's. arrived al this port yesterday from Havye,
whence she sailed On the 18th Of February.
The Duke de NemO1rs has been elected
King OF Belgium, by majority Of one vote.
The election took place at the session of the
National Congress, on the Sd Feb. On the FIRST
bOll"t the whole numh.r Votes was I9l-ofl
which the Duke de Nemours had 89--.the
Duke de Leuchtenburg 81, and the Arch
duke Charles Of Austria IS. Neither having
obtained the requisite majority, the Congress
proceeded to a second ballot, when it appear
ing the whole number of votes was l92, and
that the Duke DE- NemOurs had 81, the Pres
ident proclaimed him King Of Belgium.
The President had scarcely pronounced
this decision. when the cry of - Long live the
Duke de Nemours,-lOng live the King of
Belgium" burst from all quarters. General
joy pervaded the whole people. The can
mons poured forth their deep toned voices, the
streets were spontaneously illuminated. and
troops Of young people perambulated the CT
ty, hearing the tri.colored flag, singing Ia
Parisienne. and shouting for NemOurs and the
King. E,.
The Duke de Nemours was born on the
25th Of October, 1914, and is Of course in the
18th year of his age. The Journal des De-
bates of Feb. 6, discusses the question wheth-
er the King Of the French on the part of his
son, ought To accept Of this dignity thus con-
ferred upon him by majority Of two votes
after long and angry debate in the National
Congress. 1t states some Of the obstacles
which the young king, at sixteen years ofage,
would have To encounter. among divided
people, who have their constitution vet to es-
tablish, and concludes with the declaration
that reason forbds exposing the young prince,
France, and even Belgium to the dangers
which would be incurred By an acceptance Of
the appointment.
A private letter from Warsaw Of 25th JAN
nary informs 0s, says the Augsburg Gazette.
that on the night previous the Diet had de-
clared the absolute Independence of Poland
and the cessation Of the Russian Dynasty.
Warsatc, Jan. sS.-Private letters speak in
decided language Of the unanimity and enthu-
siasm Of the people. The Dictator had not
been visible for some time; il was reported
that he had been seized with mental aliena-
ton. Reports were in circulation that hos
Titles had commenced, and that the Poles
were victOl iUus.
Rome, Jan. 29.-TwO days since an event
happened, Of which no one knows the cause,
but which has greatly disturbed the tranquil
ity Of Rome and the COnclave. At eight o.
clock in the evening bomb shell burst 10 the
! centre Of the Palace, where the Cardinals are
assembled. Every "ne put himself on the
! alert. The Police and Authorities of the city
were Immediately on foot; patrOles secured
the streets. but no trace was discovered of the
author Of the alarm.
H0Vre, Feb. 6.-We have nothing new as
regards Poland. The Russians are advancing
in very pow eriul force, which the Poles can
not resist, with any hope Of success. This
was probably SEEN by the Dictator. when he
resigned his place. Another Dictator has
been chUsen.
