The ne'Ts by the Europa is without much interest
or importance. Louis Napoleon continues his de-
orees, regulating everybody and everything IN
France, even to the style and cut q the dress OF
the members Of the Legislative Assembly, and the
number Of buttons upon their coats The elections
had betrayed considerable opposition to the Imperial
PresiJ ent, showing that the experiment of trans
pogtatons in tcroroi, had not been as eihcient as
was expected. France, meantime, is remarkably |
tranquil, if completely resigned to the new state
OF things but the active arming of the fortiica-
tions % Paris indicates thai Louis Napoleon is not
disposed to trust to appearances. The aTusements
of imperial p-ocamations of balls, pagsants, tim
sci and trapongs, of internal improvements, and
lavish expenditures OF the public money, have
not vet been run to the length Of their tether.

curial Psrisans will complain of cenui, and then,
inside or outside of France, We may expect dash
ing job of work fer the army.
The apnrehended seizure and appropriation, by
France and Austria, of republican Switzerland, has
been averted, for the present, by sort of treaty,
under which the Swiss will probably be compelled
soturn cut all the revolutionary exiles of 1889,
who may still be found under the shelter of the
Alps. The stand taken by England against the de
mand of Louis Napoleon, to name the refugees who
should be subject to expulsion by the Swiss govern
ment, had saved it that extremity of humiliation.
Austria il treacherous and Russia is at her back,
and Louis Napoleon is not, therefore, prepared for
split with England yet awhile. He must first
dersand his ground on the continent. He knows,
at least what he is about, and can be prudent
we'll ns bold az policy may require.

statement that there was fareup in cabinet meet

The United States Senate yesterday occupied
in the discussion of the bill for navy yard and
depot in San Francisco bay. Several material
amendments made to the original bill, as will
be seen by reference to the proceedings. The at
tention of the House was taken up with the De-
fciency bill. Amendments adopted, appro-
priating $2S, sos for the payment of the amount
