FRANCE.
Despatches published by the Danish Government, and reproduced in the Paris papers, have greatly displeased the Emperor. The Danes are accused of attempting to make the world believe that they were encouraged by the French Government to resist, and that they were subsequently abandoned. It is also said, that a less friendly feeling subsists between -England and France than is or has been reported. Oißcisil contradiction will be given to the above statements. The Kin« of Spain's visit to tho French Court has been celebrated by fetes of a most brilliant description. It is reported that Prince Humbert, of Italy, is to marry the Princess Anna Murat. The Minister of Agriculture and Public Works has announced the approaching abolition of all Customs duties for mere purposes of protection. Duties are to be levied in future for revenue only. A new machine has been invented to supersede the steam-engine, at an economy of sixty to seventy per cent. It is called the " gasometeur."
