Fears are entertained in England of a coup
lie milan by Napoleon. Napier, the English
Ship Builder. had received orders from Napol-
con to build Is Frigates for him. The British
Admiralty, however, cancelled the order, and
instructed Napier to build the same number of
Frigates for the British Government.

ries of the Railroad Companies as to how many
men, horses, and munitions of war they could
carry to specified points in case Of emergency.

FRANcE---The news, to the exclusion of every
| thing else, is the Emperor's marriage to Mile
| Montigo, which has taken Paris by surprise and
was unfavorably received by the Bourse. Mile
is Spaniard, 25 years of age, blonde, and
! grand daughter of the British CONSUL at Mala-
ga. Her mother was an Irish woman named
Fitzpatrick, and her father, the Younger son of
! Spanish family, who fortunately, by the death
of his older brother. succeeded to the titles of
! Count Montigo, Duke Of Teba and Pennamando.
/ Her sister is Duchess of Abba, and Mile is
/ herself Countess of Teba. The proposal for
her hand was formally made By the Emperor on
Sunday last, and was of course acceded to. The
next day the happy bridegroom communicated
to his ministers that his determination was taken,
and that it was marriage Of affection. One
report SAYS that the ministers, except one. re-
| signed, but that the Emperor refused to accept
their designations.
It is said that the civil marriage has already
taken place, and that the religious ceremonies
will be held on the 29th Of January, on which
occasion Prince Napoleon jerome will spouse
the daughter of the Prince of Wagram, grand
| daughter to Marshal Berthier. The Senate
! Legislative body and Council are summoned to-
! day (22d) noon to receive q communication
from the emperor relatlNe 10 MS marriage. DIM
ultaneouslv with the matrimonial schemes has
taken place q disastrous fall on the Bourse, but
| the Government assert there is nothing in the
state of the country either financially, CONNER
cially or politically to cause distress. They at
tribute the fall solely, and probably truly, to the
! check of speculation, and say that when the
reaction thus caused, shall have restored things
to their proper level, the funds viii be in har-
mon with what the Pays calls "thc general
prosperity"
Nevertheless the Bourse, Wednesday, 18th,
was more depressed than since the coup d'etdt
