      FRANCE . A dotation of 12 , 000 , 000 f . for tbe Prudent was voted M TmatJ-Considium was presented on Sunday to the President of the Republic . Jerome Bonaparte , it seems , out of rnntives of delicacy , declined taking any part in this measure . It must h ? . confessed that this is the only modest fea : ure in the transaction . Loais Hapsleon , who bad the other day the face 'o assert that be was doing all for France , nothing for himself , has the « bf cooe possessed of all the royal pa ' ac es and their furniture while the expense of mainta i ning ^ " wd on tlie na tion . Tke palaces alluded to ar « tbe Tuileries , Loavre , Fonuineble au , Corapiegne , Versailles , Trianon , St . Cloud , Mention , the Eijsee , and Palace of Pau .

      The Conns ! of Miaisters has decided that tbe dotation of the senators should be irrevocable , It seems that to compensate the sort of independence which would he given to the senat e by the irrevocability of thtir salaries it has been decided in council that the President shall hare the faculty of gradually increasing the salaries of senators from 10 . 000 up to 30 , 000 franes ; so that the Prince -will begin by an instalment of favour , and administer fresh encouragement j n proportion to the good behaviour < , f his pensioners . M . da Turgot , the Minister of Foreign Affairs , is in disgrace about the affair of the Prince o ( Cauino ' a stoppage at Civiia Vecchia .

      The decree , organising the service of chaplains in the navy , and attributing to these functionaries a certain salary , is generally remarked as an infraction of the constitution an ! an encroachment on the powers of the Corps LegUlalif , According to the constitution , this bodj \» t 0 vote all money bills . Now , here is a whole service of functionaries created by a decree of the executive to be paid om of the public purse , and forming no item of the Irodge ' , without the Chamber of Deputies being in the least conmlied . OnSiu ^ ay vus ai-jmlicated the Ioeb of 50 , 000 , 000 f contracted hy the city of Paris . The loan is reimbursable in eighteen and a half years , and bears an interest of five per cent .

      A letter from Marseilles , of the 30 th ult ., states that the departure for Algeria of the political prisoners confined in the Cbateau d'lf which w ? . s to have taken place iae dav before , has been delayed for a few days . Oat tithe 255 members of which the Legislative Body is at present composed , 104 have titles of nobility or hish rank in the army . M . E . deGirardin continues to support the present government in his own peculiar way . Assuming . a ' his argument tbrongbont assumes , that the President was sincere when he disclaimed imperial pretensions , M . de Giwdnis by far the most able advocate of Louis Napolean ' s cause tlat Las vet appeared . But , if the almost universal opinion that the empire is at hand lie well founded , then the articles in the ' Presse' are terrible two-edxed weapons which smite the imperialists with all the force professedly directed against the royalists .

      It is said that MM . Eugene Pelletan , Nrfftzer , and Peyrat , have retired from tbe' Presse , ' in consequence of the declared adhesion of M . de Girardin to the present government . Ou Sunday evening the highest judicial authorities of the state wprs admitted at the Elysee to take the oaths prescribed by the constitution , in the presence of Louis Napoleon . The Prince , surrounded b y his ministers , received the members of tbe Court of Cassation , the presidents and pracuteuTs-gcneTanx of Jhe Courts of Appealwho were

      pre-, sented by M . Abhatucci . Th ? 3 minister having made a speech , in which he stated that it was to the Prince that the magistracy owed the preservation of that strona organisation which vfas given to it hy the Emperor , and that the presence of its highest representatives attf-sted that they would themselves respect , and cause to be respected by others , that constitution which bad been proclaimed by tbe voice of the nEtion , Lonis Napoleon made the following reply , wbich has been commented upon as a fresh demonstration of his intention to grasp the imperial crown : —

      ' Messieurs Ies Magistrats , —Although I receive your oath with pleasnre , the obli gation impo 3 ed on all the constituted bodies to take it appears to me less necessary on the part of those of whom the noble mission is to make the right dominant and respected . The more authority reposes on an incontestable base , tbe more it ought naturall y to be defended by you . Since tbe day on which the doctrine of the sovereignty of the people replaced that of divine ri ght , it may be affirmed with truth that no government ha 3 been as legitimate as mine . In 1804 , four millions of votes , in pro-Claiming the power to be hereditary in my famil y , designated me as heir to the empire . In 1848 nearly six millions called me to the head of tbe republic . In 1851 nearly tight millions maintained me there . Consequently , in taking the oath to me , it is not merely to a man that you swear to be faithful , but to a principle—to a cause—to the national will itself . '

      The Minister of Justice then read the form of the oath , which is as follows : — 'I swear obedience to the constitution and fidelity to the president ; I swear also and promise well and faithfully to fulfil my functions , to observe relict ously tbe secrecy of the deliberations , and to conduct revself in all as a worthy and lojal magistrate . ' Each having in tarn taken this oath in the usual manner , the Minister of finance presented the members of tbe Court of Accounts to whom the Prince addressed the following speech : — « Gentlemen and Members of the Court of Accounts , —I have juat received the oaths of the Magistracy , which is tbe organ of justice . I am happy to receive at the same time the oaths of the present magistracy , who bring to the examination and control of the employment of the public fortune the same independence , the same probity , the same sentiment of duty . '

      The oath having been then administered tbe magistrates retired . ° No body in France has hitherto shown themselves less scrupulons in taking the oaths of fidelity to all successive governments de faelo than the magistracy . Thus , M . de Porfalis , the first president of tbe Conrt of Cassation , has taken the oath of allegiance successively to the empire , to the restoration , to the monarchy of July , and to the present government , and it is not to be supposed that any of the colleagues of this venerable head of the magistracy are a iot more squ » amish than himself . The « Siecla' says the deficiency in the budget for 1853 cannot b = Ie 3 s than 109 , 000 , 000 f . A decree appears ordering all minor functionaries , down to bailiffs , to take tbe oath of fidelity to the Prince President .

      Another decree orders the political prisoners transported to Algeria to be settled in batches of 500 men each ; the President will order dispensation of the penitentiary regime in favour of those who show good conduct . M . Sauasme , member of the council-general of the Loiret , who na 3 sentenced to transportation as one of the chiefs of the insurrection at Montargis , has been set at liberty . The Corps Leghtati f met on Monday under the presidency of M . Billault . The minutes of the last sittina having been read and approved , several members , who had not taken the oath on the 29 ih nit , were sworn in . The

      President read a project of law , which had been forwarded to him by the Minister of State , to authorise the city of Bordeaux to negotiate a loan of 4 , 800 , 000 f ., reimbursable in twenty-five years , for local purposes . The bouse next resolved itself into a secret committee to hear the minutes of another secret committee , held on the 1 st inst . at which it was decided that the members should not be obliged to wear their costume during the sittings . They afterwards retired into their committee rooms , to examine the bill relative to the withdrawal from circulation and melting dowa of the old copper coin , and to appoint a special committee to report upon it .

      P . S—The Chamber resumed its public sitting at a little H * S ™_ tfdodc - Tl > e president announced that in virtue «« , ?„« » r » ««* Place in the secret committee S S , ° ! , 5 r ?

      It was rumoured in the lobbies of the Chamber that the session would not last more than a month , and that tbe deputies would adjourn for want of occupation . The death of Schwarzenberg is regarded as a heavy blow to the Prince-President ' s external designs , which were all fflnre or less framed upon the supposition of a close alliance With Austria . The ' Moniteut ' contains a decree from the President of the Republic , regulating the manner in which advocates , OBoues , aotaries , auctioneers , huissiere , and gardes cbatnpercesare to tike the oath of fidelity to himself and to the

The commission of the department of the Basses Pyrenees had to examine into the cases of forty-five prisoners ; and it has decided that three of these persons ( amongst them M . Capo de Feuillide ) shall be transported to Algeria , four be expelled from Fr ance , eight temporarily exiled , five sent to other departments , seven placed under the surveillance of the Ministry of Police , six released , but subject to surveillance , and twelve discharged . In the Haute Saone the commission has condemned M . Huguenin , ex-representative , to twenty years * exile .

      By a recent decision of the mixed commission of the department of the Deux-Sevres , M . Amy , an avocat at Niort , and publisher ol tbe ' ffiil du Peuple , ' and M . Ginestst , a medical man , and editor of the same journal , have been banished from France . They are goins ; to England . u The ' Gazette de France' says : — 'A rumour is current that the two Grand Dukes of Russia , Michael and Nicholas , are about to come to Paris on a visit to the President of Ihe Republic '

      GERMANY . AUSTRIA —Princa Schwarzenberg , the Austrian Premier , died of apoplexy on Monday evening , at six o ' clock . PRUSSIA . —The UuperChamber has rejected the motion of M . Klee , which would have cancelled tbe declaration of the Constitution that no civil disabilities are created by differences of relisious belief . The notorious Hassenjiflu ? , formerly a Prussian official , , and for some time past the chief adviser of the Elector of H-sse Cassel , appealed a short time since against the sen * tence which was passed upon him for fraud and forgery , committed while in the Prussian service . The appeal was heard on the 30 th ult at Greifswalde . Tbe Court of Appeal has confirmed the verdict of tbe provincial court in its essential points , and sentenced the statesman to a month ' s imprisonment .

      BREMEN . —Letters from Bremen of tho 31 st ult . represent General Jacobi to be steadily proceeding in his work of reconstituting the political system of the free city . As , however , he has already abolished all the cardinal points of tne pipular constftuiion , and no resistance tii his decisions is ventured , the general is at a loss for opportunities of enacting those brilliant deeds of despotism which marked the progress of the federal commissions in Hesse . After innumerable consultations , adjournments , reselutions , and reconsiderations , the Frankfort Diet has surrendered tlie project of maintaining the German fleet as a federal institution .

      BRESLATJ . —A dreadful catastrophe , of which it is irapossible to estimate the extent , has occurred . Towards mid-day of April 1 st , it was observed that the mountain of Znbt was suddenly enveloped in a dense smoke , while at the same time a terrific rumbling , resembling the rolling of thunder , was heard . After the lapse of a few moments tbe smoke dispersed , when , to the consternation of all , it appeared that the chapel on the summit , with a laTge nnmbei of persons , had been cngulpbed . The number of persona who perished has not yet been ascertained .

      DENMARK . —A telegraphic despatch , dated Hamburg , Saturdav , April 3 , announces that tbe King of Denmark has granted a general amnesty to all tbe inhabitants of Hnlstein who are liable to be called to account for resistance offered to his government . From this amnesty , how . ever , those of the officers serving in his royal Brmy at the commencement of the insurrection who embraced the cause of the provisional government are excepted , and are to he exiled . The decree banishing the Duke of Augustenburg is also maintained .

      The amnesty above alluded to was published hy the King of Denmark pursuant to his promise in his proclamation of the 28 th of January . It will be recollected that thirty-three persons were excluded from the benefits of the former conditional amnesty . Tlie last act of grace excludes eighteen of these , so that only fifteen of the Schleswig-Holsteiners remained outlawed . Among the latter are tbe Duke of Augustenburg and h ' i 3 family , Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein-Soaderburg and hi 3 family , together with some oiher persons who were not conspicuous in the revolution . The amnesty is dated the 2 nd of March , and its provisions will takft effect on the loth inst .

      HANOVER . —Two commissions have been appointed , one to inquire into the laws for the administration of juBticein their relation to the provisions of the constitution , and to report as to any changes necessary to be effected in them ; and the other to examine the communal and municipal ordinances . Both these commissions have been appointed in a very arbitrary manner , and most of the members have no seats in the Council of State .

      ITALY . ROME , March 25 . —The Prince of Canino is still at Ci ita Vecchia , the report of his having arrived at Rome being without foundation . It appears that the Pope was actually and full y resolved to leave Rome , and place himself under the protection of the Austrians at Bologna , if Canino was allowed by the French authorities to enter Rome j so that before proceeding to such extremities the ambassador has despatched a telegraphic message to Paris for instructions .

      PIEDMONT—The 25 th March was celebrated with great pomp at Casale , to commemorate the gallant defence of that place against the Austrians in 1849 . the defenders consisting chiefly of the inhabitants themselves , with hardly any cannon at their disposal , and very bad and old fortifications . In the evening the town was illuminated . This important point is now being regularly fortified by the Piedmontese government . Letters from Savoy speak of the increasing strength of the French party in that dueliy . Ultramontanists aud revolutionists are it is said , working together for a separation from Piedmont and union with France . The great numbers of Imperial veterans who have their homes there , and the many tradesmen who , having accumulated money in the French towns , return with French ideas to spend their days in their native Savoy , exercise great influence in this direction .

      Tin ' Toswn Monifor' of the 31 st ult . had received a telegraphic despatch from Leghorn announcing that f > e Prince of Canino was still at Civita Vecchia . The First Secretary of the French Embassy had returned to that town to prevail upon him to depart ; he replied that he should first receive an answer from Paris , wbich he expected on the 2 nd or 3 rd inst . The relations between the French and Roman authorities continued to be excellent . The inquiry concerning the disturbances wbich occurred in the carnival is still going on at Rome . Fifteen persons have been set at liberty on condition of their abstaining from any intercourse with suspected persons and frequenting public places . They are also to retire to their homes before sunset .

      SWITZERLAND . Letters from Berne of the 2 nd state that the government had the preceding day handed to the Minister of France a reply to the last note of March 6 th . In it the Federal Council endeavours to show by facts that it has dope all it coald do in the affair of the refugees , without , however , sacrificing tbe ri ght of asylum , which it considers one of tbe most precious privileges of civilized nations . Upwards of fifty refugees , thirty being French and twenty Germans , have been sent away from Switzerland within a short time . Abont twenty others have been directed to lire in towns in the interior , The answer declares that the Federal Commissioners , MM . Kern and Trog , have acted in the circumstance with both energy and prudence .

The collector at Astoria ascertained that the vessels thus employed were ra the habit also of carrying goods for other parties , claiming it as a rig ht under the treaty . Of eourse , no such right exists ; and as it is a direct infraction of our laws , the collector gave notice that unless it was stopped he would be compelled to seize the vessels .

      A great conflagration took place on the 2 nd ult . in the town of Gustavia , Island of St . Bartholomew ^ . Nearly tbe whole of the place was destroyed , and the inhabitants were compelled to take refuge on board the ships in the harbour , barely escaping with a few garments .

      TUB KAFFIR WAR . The war is not yet ended , nor is there any prospect of its speedy conclusion . The General Screw Steam Shipping Company ' s ship Propontis , arrived at Plymouth on Saturday morning , having left Cape Town on the 3 rd of March , No intelligence of any military operations of consequence bad transpired during the last month . General Somerset ' s md Colonel Eyre ' s patrols were yet in Kaffirland , destroying the enemy ' s crops ami devastating their country . Sir Harry Smith has published a memorandum , dated Head-quarters , King William ' s Town , February 21 st , in which it is stated that an amicable arrangement has been concluded with the Trans-Keian chief Bokoo , bis son Mapasss , and their tribe . In answer to his message for peace Kreili was told that Sandilla and the Gaikas must first vacate the Amatolas and cross the Kei .

      Another memorandum , dated February 22 nd , says that the patrol under General Somerset had destroyed nearly the whole of the cultivation of the G ; iika district . Colonel Eyre ' s despatch of the 18 th of February says that be has destroyed Sanriilli ' s kraal and extensive crops near the Kieskamma River , and in the Helebi Kloof . Tho enemy offered no resistance . The " Graham ' s Town Extra" of February 24 th speaks favourably of the news per military- post that morning . The proceedings of Colonel Eyre and Colonel Michel are producing a powerful effect upon the Kaffir mind . Umhala had sent 100 cattle , but the Governor requiring 200 at a

      , time , returned them , much to that chief ' s surprise . Several friendly chiefs continued to send in the cattle secreted by hostile tribes . In relation to the failure of the burgher muster , this paper , on the previous day , the 23 rd , said : — ' The enemy , it is now ascertained , has resolved to continue the strife . Sandilli and Seyolo hold the fastnesses of the Keiskamma and Amatola . M . como is strongly intrenched in tbe Waterkloof , a natural fortress , well garrisoned and amply provisioned ; while Stock retains a lurking-place in the Fish River Busb , whereabout seventy head of colonial cattle are consumed per week . Holding all thia vantage ground , does there seem anv likelihood of t . h «

      terms of a conqueror being enforced upon these Kaffirs ? Ihe Commander-in-Chief seems likely to fail in uniting the colonial burghers and in bringing them into the field It need not be repeated that when his Excellency ' s proclamation of the 6 th was published the people of Graham ' s Town manifested great readiness to take the field ; but now , on application bemg made throug h tbe Board of Defence for forage to the burgher ' s horses , and onlnance arms to such as were not provided , his Excellency refuses to render the slightest assistance , —a decision which we are utterly at a loss how to account for .

      ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Among th « novelties of this establishment , we have much plensure in noticing a lecture by Mr . Pepper , the- chemical professor , on Glynn and Appel ' s patent paper for the prevention of furaery and piracy by the Anastatic process . The subiect is treated by the learned professor in his usual uappy style and the information conveyed is well adapted to raise inaufrv amongst bankers , printers , engravers , publishersvand tbe pu bl c in general who are interested in the prevention of forgery- Some years since a new mode of copyina engravings , lank notes , &c , made its appearance under the name of "the Anastatic process , " originally invented by Rudolph Appel a native of Silesia , to whom the prize medal of the Exhibition was awarded . This ingenious method of taking fac-similics of cheques , engravings , and periodicals , was iust shown by copying a sheet of " Punch , ' which was distributed among the audience . Tbe preparation of tbe paper or rnthM « nulD . was then explained to be due to the presence of

      aft involuble salt of copper , accompanied by fatty matter ; so that the means used to take out the copper would not affect the oily matter , whilst the solvent which removed the oil woald ' take away the printer ' s ink , and thus destroy the chance of forgery or piracy .
