WASHINGTON, Dec. 81.
The statement said TO be quoted from
European papers, that dispatch had been re-
ceived by the French Government, from tho
United States Government, declaring that the
American Republic would never tolerate,
much less recognize monarchy at their very
doors, Is incorrect. The true position of the
question will be learned from the diplomatic
correspondence, which was submitted to Con-
gress with the Presidents message and is now
In press. In the mean time, it Is safe to say
that the question ha not reached the stage
desired in the foregoing report.
The Minister from Sweden and Norway,
Count Piper, in accordance with instructions
from his Government,had an audience with
the President to-day Or the purpose of pre-
senting him, in behalf II the Ring, . volume
containing engravings o. the Royal Collection
of Arms.
This Is understood to Ain reciprocation Of
similar compliment Of Ii President, who q
short time ago presented hh Majesty . pair Of
pistols Of American workmanship. Suitable
Acknowledgements were msie and mutual
good wishes exchanged for tk continuance of
the cordial relations now exist,g between the
two governmental.
Before Q general court martij Al Philadel-
phia, private Bernard Devlin, of tho slst
Pennsylvania Volunteers, was trid and found
guilty Of desertion and conduct pejudicial to
good order and military discipline, saving de-
serted and re-enlisted as a substitut, and was
sentenced to be shot unto death BY susketry.
Gen. Couch approved the sentence and Il
will be carried into effect Feb. 9th.
Commodore Montgomery has RELIEVED Com
modore Hsrwood, at the Washington Navy
Yard, and Commodore Parker has ass,med
command OF the fotilla.
Gen. Meade has been in Washington for
several days past.

Dismissal of the Se.s York Police Commits
siOners.
ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 81.
The Governor hasFemoved the Metropolitan
Police Commissioners and appointed in their
places Joseph H. Bosworth and VIM. McMur-
ray, Of New York, and WIN. b. Lewis, OF
Brooklyn. Gov. Seymour takes the ground
that since their answer to the charges made
against them there were good grounds for
their removal, but he was unwilling to make
any charges during the excitement of the past
season, but that the official report lately made
to him by the commissioners about the riots
In July is sectarian and partizan, and shows
that the commissioners have departed from
the impartial and dispassionate of public off,
GERS, and lost their usefulness. The passage
complained of is as follows: "These violent
proceedings had political design and direc-
ton, and received encouragement from news
papers and partizans of influence and intelli-
gencc. The board of police had been threat
ened with summary removal, which was ex-
pected to occur Immediately. The members
Of the force desired the removal and there was
not lacking instances of naturalization, the
fruit of the expected change. A large portion
of the force were Of the same nationality and
political and religious faith Of the riotous
mob.'
The charter of the Albany City Bank, Eras-
tus Corning, President, expired to-day, and
the Bank has recognized under the general
banking law, with the same stockholders and
officers 1t was chartered in 1884, has divided
regularly per cent semi-annually and closes
with 10 per cent surplus.
In the case Of the Bank of America against
the New York Commissioners Of Taxes, the
Court Of Appeals has decided that so much of
the capital Is is invested In U. S. securities Is
not taxable-thus sustaining the law of Con-
gress and the decision of the United States
Supreme Court.
