Two Jews have just been elected to the
Italian Senate, the first who have ever held

Marshal MacMahon's son, on leaving st.
Cyr, was proudly traversing Versailles in
the full glory of his regimentals, when he
was overhau.ed by colonel, who pointed
out to him that his stock was not en- tenue,

son of the Marshal President, overwhelmed

as to his health. In spite of the mental en-
ergy which carried him through fatigung

the Count advocated policy opposed to
that pursued by the Prince in regard to Nj.
THEIRS. The Imperial Chancellor remarked
that for years past he had never concealed
from his Majesty his opinion OF Count Ar
MIN. He alluded to the experience he had
OF him at Rome, aud mentioned the suspi-
cion which he had shared with others that
the Count subordinated al times his official

Prince.
