| France.
Our adVioes from Paris are Of the 9th ult.
The prominent topic Of the Paris papers, appears
| TO be the eseape of Prince Louis Napoleon from
Ham, Of which they record the hhl particulars Al
though most Of the Paris journalists make no secret
of their satisfaction the OCCASION they, none OF
them, profess any devotion to his political character
or cause In short, republicanism in Paris was new
er al lower ebb than II is at the present moment.
The princes plan Of escape appears to have been
ingeniousy conceived, and cleverIy executed.
On Monday morning, having made his arrange
ments, in which he assisted by his ply stefan,
he awaited himself Of the moment when number OF
workmen were occupied in the interior Of the cha
teau and having ha' lilly disguised himself in the
dress OF Of the aborers, walked out Of the prin-
cipal gate unobstructed. When the commandment
presented himself according to CUSTOM in the apart
ments of the prince, he informed that the prince
was suffering from severe indispositon, and that he
was still in bed, and lay figure dressed in his
clothes and placed in his bed, having satisfied the
hasty glance Of the official, he returned. Mean
while the prince was fast making his way to the
coast.
All attempts to retake the prisoner after 80 long
start were of course fruitless. He is by this time
in all probability by the bedside OF his invalid father.
The prince il understood TO have embarked for Eng
land at ST. Vilery sur Somme.

Deputies on the budget Of expenditures for lS47

| Theirs announced his intention OF moving for a
reduction of the secret service grant, not with any
expectation Of reducing its amount but merely be-
cause his so doing would afford him an opportuni-

then proceeded to contrast the policy Of 1880 with
that Of the present moment and insisted that in the
| latter there an absence of all dignity, which
| had aenated from the ministers several Of their
| partisans. He next proceeded to revive the stock
| assertion that France obeying the dictates OF
| Great Britain and agreeing every day to fresh and
! I'm warrantab BILE concessions. In the quarrel so
| imminent between England and the United States,
| France had been made to espouse the cause of the
| former and had thus lost an old friend, without Sc
curing the cordial alliance of one. The result
| of the deliberations of the Court of Peers on the
case of Lecompte had not TRANSFERRED. The report
of the committee and the Repository Of the attorney
general had been presented but the deliberations to
which they had given rise had not terminated.
Italy.
Rumors reached this country some days back OF

Debas gives authenticity to the reports, and thus
renders Them worthy of attention. About two years
ago we believe the Abbate Gioberti, and after him

while deprecating the revolutionary movements that
have so often disturbed Italy, the writers plainly
called for independence of that country, and in
dictate Charles Albert the fit person for its
head. So far from being exiled, both were un-
disturbed and the count has been well received
at court. Some manifestations of similar spi-
