      PERPETUAL BAXISTIMEXT OF THE EX-UOYAL FAMILIES OF FRAXCE . Oa Saturday afternoon an anima ' ed and spiritstirring liphaie « n M . Creton ' s proposal for permitting the Princes of she H-. iU 3 < : of iicurbon to reside in France , took place in ths Assembly . At the close of the debate 01 Friday the Assembly divided by a majorit y of 340 to 319 , that Sue proposition should be lak-n into consideration on Saturday , and accordingly M . Creton opened his fire by declaring that as the Ciiarter of 1814 had abolished the confiscation of property , the revolution of 1848 should abolish the proscription of the Princes of the House af Bourbon . die declared ibaf- it little

      mattered whether the princes trsuld avail themselves of the liberty to reside in Fiance , but that the law was a disgrace to the statute bock , aisd ought to be repealed ; , such , he said , was . atai the opinion of M . Berryer . The Legitimist party , or which M . Berryer is the recognised chieftain , is strongly opposed to this measure , because they say thai the Due de BirJea-jx can onl y enter France as K-ng , and they are well aware that the . popularity . of some of Louis Philip ^ sons would render them formidable rivals to the claims of Hem V ., if ihsy should ohtai . i permission to settle in " ibis counlry . It * as , therefor . - , a-uidsi marks of intense interest that M . Berryer , advanced to the tribuneand said

      , — « I freely a * : sw that I steadfastly stood forth in the year 1832 , against the law for " proscribing the soil of France to her Prince ; . Assisted by my friends , I again s ? and forth in 1848 to combat those unjust measures of pr . - iscriptiiju , but ma joa desire to hwat \ V . e la * wtocii you have made , and this 1 oppose . Laws « f proscription are hateful , and disgraceTnl to the statute-book , but the effect of the abrogation of this h « would simply be 10 produce a variety of combinations i .- to none of which I could enter . The onl y possible method of abrogating the laws wijch you have made , is to effect

      another political ras-iijtion . for if the Jaw 3 S it stands , were annulled , ii would merely serve to dimirish the dignity and personal s = aadin ? of the Prince whom you have i-xiieri . I $ se what is going on aronnd me , ihat ordtr is far from bfins re-tored . 1 ; this law be annulled , it will srrve as " a handle fcr vio ^ nt mm to resume the torch of discord . In acting a ^ nst the proposal , I lui . k only to the interests of my cou 2 - « y . I ha- -e a skcerJ restiect for the Princes of the House of Bourbon ; but I fee ' , that the abrogation o ? thU law vould simp ' . y render them the instruments of vik intriguers . '

      M . Marc Bufkaissk . —Before recording my ordinarily silent vote asai&st this isiotion , 1 will iUst state my opinions hi favour of the laws of banishment . I believe that they were just and useful at the time they were carried . { A voice from the Right , " They never were just . " ) I believe that they were just and useful at the time they were carried , and that tuej arc still just and useful . I think also that it will be ri « ht and proper to maintarn them , which I shnll trv to demonstrate in a very few words . Before , however , undortikiug this task , which will not tafcc Io < i < r to perform , 1 wish to submit a reflection to you to which the words of If . Lawyer have just riven rite to in mv mind . Do

' ; -.::. SWITZERLAND . We find the following in the ' Courrier Snisse' of the 26 th ult : —In the absence of official information relative to the late measures adopted toward * the refugees , we publi&h the foliowing " , particulars which have reached us : —On the 20 th . . the refugees residing at Lausanne received an ' order . to presen themselves immediately at the tffice for foreigners , in order to hear a communication made , to them . On the following day the refugees , being informed of the fate which awaited them , sent a delegation to the office , composed of MM . Felix Pya ; and Duchesne for the French , and Steirbini aridVare for the Italians . The secretary ' made known to then ) verbally the measures . which applied to them all

      without distinction , and then laying , before them a map of Switzerland , requested them to point out which of the non-prohibited cantons they would select . as their future residence . The delegates replied that they refused to make choice of any canton , that they would only recognise a written order signed liy the federal authority , countersigned by that of the canton , and officially communicated . In this position the Council of State was called on to decide . What will it resolve on ?\ Will it persist in executing the Orders given , or will it-draw , back ? Everything appears to indicate ! that it will adopt 1 he latter course . The ' NuuveHiste , ' in mentioning the petition which has emanated from the Patriotic Association , and another " to the same effect ' from the

      students of Helvetia / adds , that itcannot see with-, out pleasure these manifestations of public opinion . This declaration adds to , the account published by t »> e' 1 ' ribuneSuisse' that' tbegoycrhraentof Vaud had decided , in consequence of " the objection felt'by a part of . the population ngaitiat the measures adopted relative to the refugees , to represent officially to the Federal Council the . desirab ' iUty " of releasing the cantonal authority from the execution of them . If such be the case , and the representation of the government of Vaud be favourably . received , it ia to be presumed that the Federal Council will send a commissioner to Lausanne on the subject . '

      The Federal Council of Switzerland hus , in coiisequence of the repeated remonitrancesi of the German powers , just abolished ' ' . the absolute , obligation imposed in July , 1849 , on . the various cantons to receive paluical refugees it has , moreover maintained the decrees relative to the expulsion or transmission ef refugees into the interior ; These resolutions are . communicated to the cantons by a proclamation , dated Berne , the 25 h ult . Thisdocument explains that , after the eventsof 1848 arid 1849 , Switzerland waa obliged ; from its position , ' andfrom the duties of humanity , ' t ' o ' receivea vast number of refugees of different iiaiions , and totak « measures for distributing them among the cantons ;

      but , the time has no * arrived at which the cantons can be relieved from this burden , and allowed their old privilege of d , aliug as they please with refugees . U says , moreover , that the French government has t < ffered to convey to England or America all refugees not French , who may be unable to return to their own countries .

      . - . - '• '¦ : ROME . Tlie police of Rome have been engaged in unravelling a roysifrious plot among the English residents to assassinate 'he Pope ! an invention , it Rppears , of an infamous woman who got into the family : of the clergyman of the English Protestant cbapeL . The circumstances appear to be the follow , ing :--The Englishmen in Rome were accustomed to meet at the house of the clergyman to transact the business relating to the chapel , and amongst them wn 3 a Signor Sertori , a naturalised British subject , who formany year s acted , as Cabinet courier for the British government . The woman servant one day

      informed Sertori that she had figured in her native city of' Pes ' aro as the Marchioness Mosca , and had especially enjoyed the acquaintance of . Pio Nino himsel ' ° , as well as the . friendship of the whole Mastai Ferretti family . She wished him to do something for her , and when Ihe'Pope returned from Portici in the spring , the Marchesa , prepared a petition , and requested Signor ' Sertori to find t p ' ut snme . means of getting it conveyed to the . palace , which Signor Sertori , who . WRS acquainted with the Pope ' s valet-decham !> re , Zangolino , go ^ d-naturedly enough pro * mistd to do . ZangoVino , however , declined present ' ing the memorial to his holinesi , on the plea of

      having been expressly prohibited from undertaking any such pomraisBion , aud . Signor Sertori reported his ill success to Euphrasia , ' w ! ib seemed much morfiinedandirrjiated at it . ! the result seemed to have been , that this woman denounced Sertori to the police , and swore to having heard the Englishmen and him , whilst at her master ' s house , concocting a plot to assassinate the Pope . Voluminous papers have been collected on the subject . Signor Sertori has been summoned several timesi before the police authorities , hut has always been successful in proving his innocence . As yet the matter has proceeded no further . Such an idea . could never have entered the head of any one except an Italian Cardinal . <

      The English Protestant residen . ts in Madrid have bad a public meeting to take into consideration the best measures to be employed-for ' the obtaining a burial-ground—a concession'that has always been opposed by the ecclesiastical authorities . Notwithstanding that the meeting was announced in all the daily prints , ar . d that no public gathering ! is permitted hy the Spanish authorities , yet the police did not interfere , and a considerable number of British subjects assembled in a room of tlie Hotel de las Quatro Nacipnes . The rheeting consisted principally of tradesmen , artisans , and engineers of the railroad , the British families hereof the wealthier cla'B--being ,- 1 -for the most part , Catholics .

It appears that so late as the lost century , ' a-piece of ground was bought by the English to serve ' as a burial ground , hut that being within the walls the government disposrd of it , and promised , to give another , piece without the walls—a promise which , . owing to the resistance of the ecclesiastical ^ authorities , has inever . been kept . It is the fulfilment of this promise which the English Protestant residents claim .
