Last night's Gazette contains an order in Council for fixing
the Militia quotas in each of the counties of England and Wales under the new Mi- litia Act. In the present year, there are to be raised, in Middlesex, ex- clusive of the City of London and Tower Hamlets, 3197; in the Tower Hamlets, 1442; in Lancashire, 5628; in Yorkshire, 6101; in Surrey, 1852; and so on, down to Radnor 74, and Rutland 68. Next year, about three-fifths of the preceding numbers are to be raised. The City of Lon- don raises 600 under an act of George the Fourth. The whole force is 80,000 for the two years.
A letter was received in Paris yesterday from Madame Doane, the mo- ther-in-law of M. Thieve, which announced that the Swiss Federal Coun- cil had annulled the decision of M. Druey ; and that M. Thiers had been authorized, not only to sojourn at Vevey, but to travel about, or take up his residence in any part of the Swiss territory that he might choose.
