fortigu it tutnial. ,franu.—The Emperor returned to Paris on Saturday

evening. He was received by the Empress, at the Tuileries, and thence both went to St. Cloud. " His Majesty," says the .7ifouiteur, "is in the enjoyment of perfect health." Gossip says that their Majesties and their son will shortly remove to Biarritz.

Marshal Pelissier had arrived in Paris before the Emperor. It is said that Marshal Valliant was directed to introduce him to the Empress, and that at the prelimireny interview this conversation ensued between the Empress and the Minister.

" What can Marshal Pelissier desire now ?" asked the Empress. " I think," replied the Minister "his ambition aims to be the Governor-

General of Algeria." " and good •, but what are we to do with Mar- shal Random?" rejoined her Majesty. "There is the situation of Grand- Ecuyer that has not yet been filled up," finally observed the Minister of War. Marshal Vaillant has recently been distributing prizes at one of the military schools. In his address he dwelt much on the necessity of study and perseverance ; drawing his illustrations from remembrances of the first Empire. "Is this enough, my young friends, or will you have another example ? Follow me into that fortress—draw those bolts—pass through that dark vault. Look at that young man with a pensive look, who, leaning over a table, meditates in the calm of solitude. For many years he has been a captive; and his education, commenced on the steps of the first throne of the world and continued amid the misfortunes of exile, is being completed in the interior of a prison. Military art political economy, the science of governing men, are the subject of his studies ; his genius increases and rises in the midst of his incessant labours. One day, when the hour marked by the designs of Providence shall have arrived, the gates of the fortress will fall before him, and he will go forth into the world ripened by the medita- tions of captivity, with the head sufficiently high, the heart sufficiently firm, to save a great people from an abyss, and with the arm sufficiently ro- bust to hold the sword of France and to secure victory to her flag. I say no more ; and I return thanks to you, young pupils." Marshal Pelissier is not to be " Due tout court " after all. The Moui- teur of Thursday announces that, by an Imperial decree, dated 22d July 1856, he is named Duke of Malakoff. A law is to be presented to the Legislative Body for a grant of 100,000 francs a year to accompany this

faill.—The news from Madrid comes almost wholly through Paris, and consists very much of mere rumours. Thus—" It is asserted that dissensions have already occurred between O'Donnell and Roe de Olano, who, up to this day, has been the new Dictator's right arm." "There is a rumour, with, it appears, some foundation, of sending General Nar- vaez as Ambassador to the coronation of the Emperor Alexander." " M. Turgot, the French Ambassador at the Court of Spain, has obtained leave of absence from his post." The facts seem to be that " Marshal" Serrano is named Ambassador at Paris, in the room of Olozaga ; that M. Pacheco is to be Spanish Minister in London, and M. Souza at Turin.

It appears that before he started for Logrono, Espartero had an inter- view with Queen Isabella. The Epoca thus describes it-

" General Espartero having obtained an audience to take leave, was re- ceived by their Majesties on Sunday week, at six in the evening. The Queen, as it appears, began the interview, by addressing to him these words —"Duke, how have you been since we last saw each other ? Where have you been, that neither I nor any one have heard anything of you ? ' These two questions made a deep impression on the General; who simply replied, Madame, I retire into private life. I can no longer serve either my Queen or lily country ; but at Logrono I shall pray to Heaven for my Queen and my country. I shall not be faithlesa to my oaths, nor to the flag which I have sworn to defend. I retire to my private house ; and there (if I be allowed to remain undisturbed, which I do not believe) my body may be broken, but not my spirit.' The General then took leave of their Majesties, kissing their hands ; and the Queen charged him with compliments for the Duchess of Victory."

Sitati.—Reports, not confirmed, and doubtfully enunciated, speak of a kind of insurrection which broke out at Palermo a fortnight ago, but was quickly put down. " Sicily is in a state of great ferment. ' At Naples, the Liberals, unawed by the bombastic police circular issued in reply to their first manifesto, have put forth a second. It recommends the people to " agitate " ; remarking that "agitation is not exactly revo- lution, but precedes it, and prepares it." "No longer suffer admonitions on the arrangements of person or of dress. Do not conceal your eagerness to read the journals, and your opinions on them ; speak openly of the acts of the Government in a becoming manner ; unite, too, with this, and openly declare your sympathies for those who have deserved well of the country whenever the occasion presents itself— show yourselves strong in your faith. True is it that this will increase hatred and persecution against you, and will open to you the prison-doors; but, besides that these sufferings will be brief, we ought not to fear them, though they would be our deserts were we to show cowardice or division. This will make you feel that you are a nation, not a sect ; for a sect is the creation of our enemies only. In the restoration of our rights, of true order, and public morality, we especially invoke the assistance of the clergy and the army, the chief nerves of the state : the one, with the word, will give life to the spirit in its new direction ; the other, with its type of energy, of discipline, and of order, will prevent any deviation ; and perhaps at no distant period, this our army, having become the true expression of national strength, will be our pride, and will acquire a noble page in living history. Faith, union, perseverance ! "

Garibaldi has written a letter to a Genoese paper stating that he has ascertained that Ciceruacchio, the popular Roman leader, his two sons, a priest, and three other persons, were shot by the Austrian soldiers in 1849, at Contarina, near the mouth of the Po. " I claim your favour to ask, in the name of society, through the public; press, an account of these individuals from the authors of this misdeed; which certainly is necessary in the interests of the families of the deceased, remembering at the same time that not one of the Austrian prisoners of Lumo or of the Romagna was ever shot. Observe also, that Ciceruacchio' his young son, and Romarino, although they accompanied me in the retreat, never carried arms."

tabit 11.—The cholera, introduced direct from Lisbon by a Govern- ment importation has broken out with great virulence at Madeira. The poor were the chief sufferers ; and the English residents, who are doing their utmost to render assistance, find it difficult to make the Portu- guese do what is necessary for their safety. None of the English had been attacked up to the 3d instant. There was no hope of relief until the rains.

IR II 5 i .—The Emperor Alexander reviewed his Baltic fleet on the 4th instant, " under the guns of the forts of Cronstadt." It consisted of eighty steam gun-boats, each carrying three heavy guns, but only fitted for navigation in smooth water ; and thirty-three line-of-battle ships, frigates, and corvettes. The Archbishop of Cherson and Taurida has been to Sebastopol to bless the South side, which " is to be rebuilt at the command of the Emperor,", on a plan designed at St. Petersburg. "On the spot where the memorable six bastions of the external line of de- fences were erected, and where thousands of the most intrepid heroes found a glorious death, there are to be built hospitals and asyl ums for invalid veterans of the last years. The communication between the North and South side is to be established by a handsome chain-bridge over the bay, between the Forts of St. Nicholas and St. Michael. In the faubourg where the sailors lived, there will be in the place of the numberless little huts that used to stand there, large symmetrical houses built, and let to the families of sailors and soldiers at a rent amounting only to three per cent on the out-. lay. This is to be exclusive of any indemnity that the Crown grants them for the loss of property they may already have sustained."

rIttlt.—The latest intelligence respecting the conduct of the Rus- sians in respect to the treaty of Paris comes from the French Embassy 4 Constantinople. " Therapio, Aug. 9.—The Russian Commandant of Kars has notified to the Governor of Erzeroum that he is ready to restore Kars to the Ottoman authorities."

The English war-ships that entered the Black Sea on the 28th were reinforced on the 4th August by four more vessels. On the 2d, the Gla- diator returned to Constantinople from Serpent's Island. " She found there fifty Turks and eight Russians, the latter unarmed. As the island is nothing -but a bare rock of yery. limited size, and contains

only one building, Turks and Russians are living there together • and the latter are treated by the former as their guests and supplied with every- thing. This is done in consequence of the orders of the Turkish Govern-

ment, which, of course, is anxious to avoid a collision. The only thing which the Turks do not share with the Russians is the lighthouse : the lat- ter are not allowed to enter it ; and the lighthouse is just the reason which the Russians allege for their coming to the island." No unquestionable intelligence of the evacuation of the island by the Russians has been received ; but it is stated that the Cabinet of St. Pe- tersburg have proffered the strongest assurances of their intention to fig- fil the treaty.

II IID i11 in.—The King of the Sandwich Islands is about to marry; and he had received the following congratulation from his House of Representatives. "To his Majesty Iramehameha IV.

" Sire—The Representatives of the People have received with great sa- tisfaction your Majesty's gracious message, announcing that it is your Ma- jesty's intention to be united in marriage, on or about the third Thursday in June next, to Emma, daughter of T. C. B. Rooke, Esq., M.D., and grand- daughter of the late John Young, Esq. The Representatives of the People have much pleasure in offering to your Majesty their true congratulations on the auspicious event about to take place, and in assuring your Majesty of their belief that the proposed union will be hailed with entire satisfaction and pleasure by your Majesty's subjects generally. That this marriage may increase the happiness of your Majesty., and of the bride elect, and tend to insure the perpetuity of the Hawaiian sovereignty and promote the welfare of the nation, is the earnest desire of your Majesty's dutiful subjects."

The King was much pleased, and replied to his faithful Commons- " Your voice is that of the nation speaking through its representatives, and it is a great satisfaction to me to have your approval of the import- ant step I am about to take."

S IL ift.—The overland mail arrived in London on Thursday night, with advices from Calcutta to the 3d, and Bombay to the 10th July. In Bengal, " social reforms " occupied the attention of the public. The bill for permitting the remarriage of Hindoo widows—an immense innovation—" may be considered safe." Mr. Grant was about to re- strict the privileges of certain high caste Brahmins, who claim to marry as many wives as they please—for their dowries ; when they obtain them the new wife is deserted. The missionaries and the indigo- planters were engaged in a paper war; the missionaries having de- nounced the planters as oppressors of the people. Both parties have ap- pealed to "public opinion," by publishing dozens of pamphlets which serve the higher purpose of affording Material for estimating the &Mai

a niter lit if5.—The Niagara arrived at Liverpool on Monday, with advices from New York to the 29th ultimo.

A singular rumour had been circulated as originating with persons acting in the interest of Mr. Buchanan.

" The Pennsylvanian, the central Buchanan organ, proclaims the truly humiliating fact, that the Chancellor of the British Exchequer has sub-

scribed 100,000 dollars for the use of the Fremont and Dayton Clubs as a means of securing the success of the Republicans, and thereby of breaking up the union of these States."

The Vigilance Committeee had again given striking proofs of the vigour of their government. David Terry, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, went to San Francisco for the purpose of organizing forces to put down the Vigilance Committee. As an agent of the Com- mittee, directed to board a schooner conveying State weapons to San

Francisco, had been arrested and held to bail by the United States au- thorities on a charge of piracy, the Vigilants determined to seize one Peter Molony as a hostage. Hopkins, the Vigilants' Marshal, was sent to arrest Molony : there was resistance, a scuffle, and Terry stabbed Hopkins with a bowie-knife. The news of this assault spread like a prairie fire in a gale ; the great bell on the Vigilance Committee rooms was tapped for the first time since the commencement of the revolution ; the whole town was in wild excite- ment; merchants left their stores unlocked, masons dropped their trowels, drayinen with loaded drays conveying goods from the ships to the ware- houses, or from the stores to the steam-boats, unharnessed on the instant in the streets, and mounted their horses to join the Committee's cavalry. Where all was peace and quietude a moment before, all now was bustle and amazement ; and from every quarter of the city. all classes and con- ditions, armed and on foot or on horseback, were impetuously rushing towards the head-quarters of the Committee to await and execute its orders. Terry, Molony, and that party, in the mean time made their way unmolested to the armoury of the Blues, and there raised the barricades or closed the doors to all but friends. They were hardly in, however, before the Vigilante in immense numbers surrounded the building, and placed sentinels on all the entrances thereto, with orders to let no man in or out till the will of the

E xecutive Committee could be ascertained. Some of the Vigilants, think- ing Hopkins had been killed on the spot, were clamorous to obtain possession of Terry, and sacrifice him on the spot. In this state of things, and while

the whole city, as it were, was collecting around the armoury, Dr. Ashe, the navy-agent, appeared at one of the second-story windows, and informed the excited multitude that Terry was in the building, and would not attempt to make his escape. He also requested that a messenger should be sent to the Executive Committee, and ask a delegation from that body to come to the armoury, in order that they might agree on the terms on which Terry would be surrendered. It was ascertained that Terry was willing to give himself up to the Committee, provided that body would pledge itself to protect him from the fury of the rabble. The courier was despatched, and in ten minutes returned with a note, ordering Terry to give himself up, aud the mili- tary in the building to deliver up their arms and render themselves pri- soners, or in fifteen minutes the Committee would commence firing on it. Two large cannons were hauled in front, were loaded, and the burning, torch placed in the hands of the cannoneer. Not a word was said by eithef party ; there were 6000 armed Vigilants in the vicinity of the building ; the time hadjust expired, and the doors were opened from the inside. Terry, Ashe, and Molony, gave themselves up ; were placed in carriages, and under a strong guard were escorted to the rooms of the Committee. The State soldiers were then made to bring down their arms ; which were soon un- capped, placed on drays, and escorted to the armoury of the Vigilants. The military were offered their freedom if they would swear not to take up arms against the Vigilauts. This they refused to do, and were made prisoners ; but most of them were released in a few day's after. The Committee also went to the armoury of another mi- litary company—the only remaining one in that city that had not dis- banded rather than hold themselves in readiness under the Governor's pro- clamation, :demanded their arms, which they at once received, and took them prisoners also. The Committee then sent for Major-General Volney E. Howard, who was commanding in San Francisco. He made haste to obey their summons ; and while on his way to their rooms, the Vigilants had to take possession to save him from the fury of the people, whom he had exasperated by his very foolish behaviour and ungentle- manly language. So thus in forty minutes after Terry struck Hopkins, although the city was quiet at the time, and nearly all the people engaged in their daily avocations, the Vigilante had arisen like the followers of Roderick Dhu out of the earth, and captured the State Government, gene- rals, soldiers, guns, and ammunition, without the firing of a single shot." During this extraordinary state of affairs, all parties united to celebrate the 4th of July. The Governor was quietly reposing at Sacramento. condition of the people. "Moderate men hold that both parties are ptultp of exaggeration," but that the controversy will be !beneficial. Mr. Halliday was bestirring himself to provide an efficient pollee for Bengal. The present police, appointed by the zemindars, is described as "one half able-bodied criminals," servants of the zernindar„ "the other half feeble-bodied old men," the "cheapest and oldest beggars that can be found." Cholera has broken out at Agra with great seve- rity. The natives say that a mysterious horseman has passed through the country, and that the cholera broke out in consequence of a man re- fusing to direct him on his way. Many soldiers of the Third European Regiment have died.

The Madras Railway was opened by Lord Harris on the 28th June, as far as Arcot, sixty-five miles. The natives showed a great interest in the wonderful spectacle. From Bombay there is intelligence that the Persians, under a " Rus- sian renegade," have occupied Herat.
