      FRANCE . » he ministry , bas demanded .- : a credit of 245 , 833 fr . for Marshal Jerome Bonapart e , from the Assembly- It is the amount of his half-pay for the grade of general of division , of which pay he as deprived from let Jan ., 1816 , to the day on hich he was replaced in the army list in 1848 he balf- ? ay is calculated oa the basi 3 of 7 , 500 fr . a year . This demand seems to be regarded as an angraiefut return to the tax-payers , who recalled Jerome from exile , and thus enabled him to receive a doable salary , 7 O , OQOfr . a year , as marshal of France and governor of the Inralides . It is expected to raise considerable opposition in the Assembly . -

      Five and twenty persons , accused of attempting to incite workmen to an emeute on the 4 th of May were apprehended on Snnday by the police in various taverns , and confined In the prefecture . The' Moniteur' contains a note with reference to the order of the day of the army of Africa , by which Colonel d'Anrelie has been blamed b y the governor for his attack on the village of Selloum on the 10 th of April . By this note the publication of such an order of the day in the African and

      ftench journals is formally disapproved of by the Government , and severely condemned , inasmuch as it is contrary to disci pline and military rule to offer to the appreciation of the army the opinions of the generals in command . Thus the Governor General d ' Hautponl returns to France wider the stigma of a disavowal b y the Government . The Government and Conservative journals dedare that an incendiary proclamation from the

      central committee of resistance , calling on the Eevolutionists to be ready , and to strike without mercy , is genuine and authentic , notwithstanding the assertion of Republican papers to the contrary . More than 2 , 000 copies of the proclamation have been seized in the fanbonrgs ; and seventeen persons connected with its propagation have been arrested . The same aeasures have been taken at Lyons , where the manifesto has been widely distributed .

      Certain members of the extreme Left have issued a proclamation calling on their partisans not to stir , as an emeute would favour designs which they trill resht in parliament , and , if needs be , will appeal to the people . -.- ¦¦ . - The " ' Messaged states positively that the Committee on the bill demanding a credit of 245 , 0007 . for arrears of pay to Prince Jerome Bonaparte , has unanimously rejected it .

      SWITZERLAND . We learn from Basle that M . A . de Planta , the federal Commissioner to the canton of Tesino , has given his resi gnation . Before leaving he addressed to the commander of the military cordon of the frontier several complaints respecting the violation of the Swiss territory by Austrian patrols . The Hungarian refugees are awaiting in the canton of Neuchatel the reply of the French government relative io

      their passage through France to America . The cost of their transport to America is to be placsd at the charge of the canton of Tessaio . It appears thafc , in consequence of some 3 tep 3 taken by the charge d ' affaires of Sardinia in Switzerland ; the residence of emigrants who are provided vrith Sardinian passports is to be permitted . Ihe rnmonr which has'been in circulation of other Hungarian deserters having taken refuge in the Tessmo from the Austrian regiments is confirmed .
