FRANCE.
AT Paris, although there is increased ex-
citement and greater bitterness between con-
hcting parties, the only marked events of
the fortnight have been
First-The revolt of one of the regiments,
which the government has not succeeded in
quelling,
Second-A popular demonstration, in
small war, against Louis Napoleon, as he
passed through the streets.
Perhaps the most significant event in the
Legislative Assembly was the proposition,
by M. de La Rochezaquelin, friend of the
Presidents, to the effect, that on the first
Sunday in June, the nation should be called
upon TO pronounce definitely on the form of
government which il should choose 10 select
that every elector should be called upon to
inscribe on his ballot monarchy or republic
that if a republic should acquire the ma
jority, It should be proclaimed in the Cham
Der by the President Of the Repubic-and if
the monarchy obtained the ma ajority, it should
be proclaimed by the President Of the AS
oembiy. O.
This remarkable proposal was received in
solemn silence by the majority, and by deci-
sive sneels from the Mountain-but at length
the proposal was negatived-it having fallen
10 the ground in consequence of not being
seconded, and the previous question was i'm
mediately voted unanimously.
The men bers of the Mountain received the
announcement with a cry of "Vivo la Repub-
ique," 1t is said that the President of the
Republic is so deeply in debt, that nothing
but the possession of the imperial crown can
eXtricate him, and that he is at present en-
gagged in negotiations with Russia, for the
purpose of possessing of that TO him now ne
cessary protection. The Government are per-
severingly employed in introducing their
measures Of coercion, in which the majority
Of the Assembly support them.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Standard, of late date, says that the Gov
eminent is said TO have received dispatches
! from Germany which lead to a belief that
collision between Austria and Prussia is al
most unavoidable. The language used by
both powers is partaking more and more Of a
! hostile character.
ROME.
A recent number of the Rome Observer
says that the return Of the Pope 10 Rome has
been definitely fixed for the 9th inst The
speedy return of His Holiness appears TO give
general satisfaction.
| Advices from Lisbon state that Gen. Mar
tin was concentrating his squadron at the Ii
girls, in anticipation of a hostile visit from the
American naval forces, to enforce settle
ment of the long standing claims Of the Anne
rican government.
RUSSIA.
An imperious note has been addressed BY
the Russia government 10 that Of Prussia, on
the subject of the Schleswig. Holsten dispute.
After enumerating all the points at issue, the
note says there are so many facts which the
Emperor cannot regard with Indifference,
and from which he cannot, in conscience, re-
lease the Prnssian Cabinet from. The note
concludes by distinctly iniima,ing the deter
mination of the Emperor to employ decisive
sive measures, if necessary, in support of the
Danish side of the controversy.
PRUSSIA.
A serious rupture Has occurred between
the governments of Prussia and Wurtenburp
in consequence of the tone assumed hy the
King of the latter country in opening the
Chambers. The government of Prussia has
addressed note 10 that of Wurtemberg, con-
ceiyed in very strong terms, expressing the
astonishment of the Kings Government al
the speech, regrets with most profound in
dignation the suspicious and accusations it
contains, aud declares its dignity to reply
thereto or TO discontinue diplomatic relations
with Wurtemberg.
The Prussian Ambassador has been recall
led

Berlin il is said is to be surrounded with
fortified barracks, which have already been
commenced near one OF the gates of the city.
