The culture Of tobacco, which had not been al
lowed in France some half century, has been re-
integrated into one new crop of several depart
ments Of the south Of France, by new decree Of
the President. The departments OF Bouches du
Rhone and Var are allowed to cultivate it.

orders, which have been given to them by the Count
Of Chambord, not to accept any mission, place, or
position, from the government lnseveral western
departments the most influential men of that party

ration for 1853 MIR. Maell of the moderate radical

the same party
The Neufcbatel question has advanced one step
since the visit of Louis Napoleon to Strasbourg. 1t
is said that General Dufour, the actual President of
Switzerland, has proposed to settle the difficulty
with money and thai the President has consented to
it. Accordingly, the diplomats will force Prussia to
accept rent OF $50 GOO francs. paid annually, and
thus will abandon all their claims on Neuichatel

Lehon. ex Minister to Paris and rich banker, who
was called from our city by King Leopold few days

In Prussia. several naturalized Americans, who
had just arrived from the United States to visit

protested against this strange proceeding.
Count Nesselrode has been allowed by the Gar
Nicholas to resign his position of Arch Chancellor,

At Rome there seems to be some misunderstand-
ing between the French army and the Pope, on ac-
count of some money matters, which have not been
settled, and in which person, friend of the Napo-
leon family, is involved. The Pope refuses to pay
hnv has
diplomats to withdraw the troops of France and leave
him to the protection of his own forces. No doubt,
this affair will soon meet with solution.
During the last interview Of the Gar of Russia
and the King of Prussia, the two potentates
have combined their powers and military forces, in
case there should happen circumstances which would
otlige them to act together. It appears that
these two soveregns can dispose of $780, 600 men at
moments notice.

young monarch has but one aim, which is to
prove that his subjects, the Hupgarians, have no
reason to dislike him, but on the contrary they
must love him by all means. What will Kos
snth say Of all this, when these particulars reach
his ears This agitator arrived Mt Liverpool on
board of the last steamer, under the name Of Mr..
Smith, and did not receive single visit when he

To the nsupportable heat of the preceding week
has succeeded mild, agreeable, and fine weather,
which is really equal to that which SO often re-
member to have enjoyed ct Newport and Saratoga,
during the latter part Of August and the beginning
Of September. The breeze is fresh and healthy, tho
evening delightful, and the skies cloudlcss There
is no dust in our streets and Boulevards, and the
macadam, duly wet by continued irrigation, is as
soft as the lawn of public gardens. So Far, so
well for Paris but in the departments, the warm
temperature has been followed by series Of storms
and tornadoes, which have caused much damage all
over the places through which they have passed
