FRANCE.
Vhe Emperor Napoleon and the Sultan
OF Turkey tn Conference.


From the Memorial Diplomattque.
The Emperor Napoleon remained in confer.
ence with the Sultan on the day of his departure
Tor London for threequarters of an hour. On
the previous Sunday, Napoleon III also had
held private conversation with his august
guest at st. Cloud, which lasted several hours,
Djemil Pacha acting as interpreter. We have
reason to believe that the Emperor took advan-
tage OF the Sultans stay at Paris to again urge
the friendly counsels which M. Bourree, on his
nomination rs Ambassador, had been charged to
carry to Constan tinople, and to which he made
allusion In presenting his credentials. The Sui
tan, through both Fuad Pacha and Djemil
Pacba, has expressed the most sincere gratitude
for the friendship shown by the Emperor of the
French, as to the integrity and stability OF the
Ottoman Empire, and has promised to devote all
his efforts to the amelioration of the position of
his Christian subjects, as France has continually
ADVISED him, as the only ethcacous means Of
avoiding new crisis in the East. We may
therefore expect that on hls return Abdul Aziz
will inaugurate series of salutary reforms.
Sentence of the Assassin BerezOwski.
.FrOR1 the Brussels NOrd.
The perpetratcr of the attempt in the Bois de
BOulogne has been found guilty of murder with
extenuatiDg circumstances, and sentenced to
hard labor for life. The mitigated expiation
OF a crime which has caused Russia to qulver
In her inmost fibre will, we fear, produce
dis9greeable impression in that country. For
ourselves, looking at the mStter from a
Western point of view, we should be almost
tempted to congratulate ourselves on a result
which, refusing to the assassin of the Gear
the prestige OF the scat1old, clothes him and
his crime IN the vulgar and ignominious livery
of the convicted felon; but we scarcely expect
this view TO be taken in Russia. The people of
that country-still primitive in their ideas, no
doubt-do not imagine that the galows or gull
lotine can ever serve as pedestal to fame, or
that criminal is less guilty for having fired
upon man because that man happens to be an
Emperor, with millions of existences attached to
his. The French jury decided according to its
conscience, and It is not for us to discuss its
verdict, standing as 1t does on this inviolable
ground; but if ever a reason of state ought to
prevail, it Is certainly in a case like this in
which one of the greatest principles of social
conservation and mutual guarantee between
people was at stake.
Dwellings, for the Working CIasses In
Paris.
From GdtigndnTS Messenger.
The Emperor, 1t is known, has had erected in
the Avenue Daumesnil forty-eight houses as
specimens of dwellings for small families, the
plan of which may be seen in the Exhibition.
Each house contains three stories and cellars,
and each floor is composed of two rooms and
small kitchen. The buildings themselves cost
altogether 320,0 ,000f., or somewhat over 6000f.
each, but on adding the purchase of the ground
and the expense of leVelllng, the whole sum
spent has been 5l0,G00f. His Majesty has just
made gilt of the whole to a cooperative
society of workingmen which is in the course

Serious Illness OF General AlmOnte.
General Almonte, who represented the En-
peror Maximlian at Paris, is so i'll that it has
not been considered advisable as yet to an
nounce to him the fatal news from Mexico.
