The French and Russian Governments
are greatly dissatisfied at the turn the a-
fair had taken, and the Ministers of both
had left England.
On Thursday Lord Brongham called the
attention of the House of Lords to the sud.
den departure of the French Ambassador,
and hoped no unfriendly feeling existed
between France and England.
The Marquis Of Landsowre explained:
lie said the departure of the French Min
lister, which took place on the Queen's birth
day, was accidental, ON account of the
French Government desiring his presence
in Paris.

The excitement relative to the new cleo
ton law is spreading, and petitions against
it are pouring iii from all quarters. Several
alterations have been made inthis bill.
The authors Of the constitution are of the
opinion that any attempt to limit the elect
i've franchise, except by a constituent as
semb'y, properly convened, is illegal. A
part of tile national Assembly concur in the
opinion.
M. Dupin, of the National, participates
in this opinion, and has absented himself
from his duties, which is regarded as a strong
protest against the measure.
Three leading Democratic journals have
been suppressed, and several officers Of the
National Guard have been punished fof
signing a petition against the new law.
Apprelensions of a serious instruction
have been revived within the last few days.
Early in the week an outbreak seemed
imminent, and the proposed plan Of action

GERMAN EMPIRE.
The Princes Of Schwarsburg, Ruderd-

princes of kreuss. have ceded their rights
of sovereignty in order to advance the
unity Of Germany, Austria and Hungary.
We learn from Vienna thai the church

eNasperated are the minds Of men upon
the subject.
RUSSIA n TURKEY.
The Porte has signified to the Austrian
and Russian Ministers that they must
consider all restraint on Hungarian re-
fugees now at end.
THey wonder whether the last phrase is
intended as an official announcement to
the courts of Russia and Austria of in
tended liberation Of refugees at Rantag a,
or Of their employment in the milit airy
service, among the fugitives who have
adopted the Mohometan creed. The
Porte, placed as it is under the g%uardtan-
of five powers, was compelled to
have recourse to that note for the pur-
pose of declaring his intentions respect
ing the refugees. So far as Eossuth and
comrades are concerned, the Porte is
strongly supported by embassies Of Great
Britain and France.
