FOREIGN NEWS BY THE WASHINGTON

The New York papers Of the Sth. con-
tain the news from Europe by the Wash
ington. The subjoined intelligence will
be found interesting:
From the London Ship. and Mere. Gazette Dec 10.
An impression appears to prevail, that,
at the meeting of Parliament, the Cham
cellor of the Exchequer intends TO propose
a duty upon -four and meal, as distinguish
ed from the manufactured grain; and
there can be no doubt that such measure
would command large majority in the
House of Commons. A direct loss of reve-
nue. was one Of the contingencies OF free
trade, which perhaps, the Government did
no, calculate upon with sufficient foresight,
and FOR which, we imagine, they are not
very we'll prepared.
During the spring and summer months
we may expect large importations of A.
merican flour, as the yield Of our own
wheat is, we fear, turning out very def
cient-not more, on an average, than twen-
ty one bushels to the acre instead Of thirty
four. Or this we feel assured, that any
duty which may be put upon flour will not
raise the price to the home consumer; it
will only, by SO much, reduce the profit
anticipated by our American friends, and
will, in fact, be paid in TO the exchequer,
instead Of TO the shipper at New York.
The ARMY IN IRELAND The official
returns state the forces al the disposal of
the authorities in Ireland for the month of
December, including strong d-,achmen,s
Of artillery and engineers, with the out
pensioners and armed police, at nearl y
10000 Observer.
| From the London Times Dec. 90.
FRAscE.--We have received by ex-
press the Paris papers 10 December Is,
with our usual CORES pondence.
! 1T seems now unquestionable," says
one OF our Paris letters, THAT Prince Louis
Napoleon will have s, SOC. 900 votes, Gen.
Cavaignac 100000, and the other three
candidates, MN Ledru Rollin, Ras pail,
and Lamartine, 500, 900 between them
Thus seven millions FIVE hundred thou
sand votes will have been given and Louis
Napoleon will have polled 500, OOn votes
more than his uncle, the Emperor, and
with this further difference, that all those
that he received were voluntary, while
the votes Of many who figured as electors
ofthe Emperor were extorted by persons
who entered their dwellings armed with
power to collect "a do,icH,' the free and
unbiased suf1'rages of,he French people,"
1t is said to-day, that the President can
no, be proclaimed before Thursday next.
His cabinet will be Immediately afterwards
| announced. 1t is now said, however, that
NJ. Lanartine will be one of the three
persons submitted TO the choice of the AS
sembly for the office Of Vice President. and,
from the reaction that has commenced in
his favor, within the last two days, it is
not improbable that he will be nominated.
1t would appear from the National, that
dissension has already appeared in the Ma
poleon camp. M. Victor Hugo frowns
and wii!draws. The legi,imatists al
ready accuse NJ. Theirs Of retrograde
movement.
NJ. Bixio had been appointed minister
Of Commerce.
The appointment of NJ. Falloux, the
champion of Ca;holicity, as minister of
public instruction and Of worship, is very
unsatisfactory TO the Professionals.
No less than six or seven candidates are
spoken Of Tor the Vice Presidency. A.
mong them we observe Theirs. Bngeaud,
Lamar'ine, Arago, Dupont de rEure Gar
n'er Pages, and Cavaignac; the latter of
whom, report says, will have the support
of Louis Napoleon, should he allow him
self to be put in nomination.
Nj. Corcelle>, the envoy Of the Pope,
who has lately returned, says that his hol-
in.ss is profoundly discouraged. The
Pope will not come TO France If he can get
the French government TO join Austria in
maintaining his power in the Roman
States. He despairs of being able to re-
turn TO Rome otherwise than by foreign
intervention. There was meeting on the
7th OF the religious party of the assembly,
at which NJ. Montalambert presided, the
object Of which was to prepare an address
to the Pope. A committee was appoint
ed for the purpose.
lrALy.-A letter from Rome, dated the
9th instant, anne unccs that Marshal Rad
etsky, is assembling a corps d'armee at
Bfescia, with which he proposes to occu-
Ply the legations of the pontfical States,
and TO act in concert with the French to
restore the Pope and TO rees,ablish public
order. The Swiss who had been disband-
ed by the Pope had entered the service
of the King OF Naples.
The Pope has been declared deprived
Of all temporal power. The minister
Sterbini has addressed the citizens; he said
that the Pope alone, under the title Of
bishop, would have the right to enter
Rome, but that all the cardinals and pre-
lates would be strictly prohibited from en-
tering the city. The people in their en-
thusiasm ran about the streets CRYING,
death 10 the Pope! death to the cardl-
nails - Garibaldi las been called to Rome
by the ministry.
From Bologna we learn that Zucchi and
Carlo Bevilaqua have accepted the mem
berslips in the provisional government in
sIituted by the Pope at Gae,a, Nov. ~.
Zncchi intends residing at Spezzia.
PARIS, Dec. l9.--The affairs of Italy
become every day more involved and
menacing. King Charles ALDER; has been
obliged TO yield to the ultra liberals, and to
commission M. Globerti to form cabi-
net. The CONTEMPLATED Italian ,a,,ua INNS,
