dor, and the Count de Spaur, with his reverend charge, crossed the frontier in safety, and arrived at Gaeta, a, larg town, the first in the Neapolitan territory, no! far. from Tarracina. The Pope left the Quirinal on the eve-,

nine of the 24th, and arrived at Gaeta on the night of ~

the 25th.

As soon as the Pope arrived a letter was sent to King Ferdinand, the Pope remaining in the Bishop’s palace at Gaeta. ‘T'wo regiments were sent from Naples by steamers to Gaeta, as a guard of honour, and the King, Queen, and the Princes fodowed in another Stea- mer. ‘I'he royal party arrived at Gaeta, and did homage we his Holiness in the usual manner, by kissing his foot. The Queen and Princes remained at Gaeta, while the King returned t ples to make preparations for the reception of his Holjpess. The Roman and Spanish Ministers at Naples went to Gaeta, and the diplomatic corps at Rome, except the Sardinian mem- ber thereof, has arrived at Naples, with the Cardinals.

Only six Cardinals remained at Rome.

The Princes Borghese, Doria, Salviati, and Rosbigli- osi, and several other Rowan noblemen, have joined the Pope at Gaeta.

It is very commonly supposed that Lucien Bonaparte, Prince de Canino, is deeply implicated in the proceed- ings which have led to the Pope’s flight; and it is said that he will probably be appointed president of the Ro- wan republic, if one should ever be constituted.

Seven of the Cardinals have arrived at Naples; but aome accounts in the French papers assert that the Pope bad ordered the sacred college to proceed to Malta, in order that a conclave might be held there in case of his

Mr. Temple, the English Minister to the Court of Naples, has arrived at Rome, He is the bearer of the) ultimatum of France and England in_ relation to the disputes between Naples and Sicily.

It is said that the Romans intend to, proclaim a re- public, with the Prince de Canino as President.

FRANCE.

Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has been eleeted President of France, not only by a sufficient, but by an overwhelming majority. During the week preceding the 10th inst. the most strenuous exertions were made by all the multitudinous employes throughout E'rance in favour of General Cavignac.

The latest intelligence from France states, that the Proclamation of the President will probably be made about the 20th inst.

The Ministry was formed with the full approbation of M M. Thiers, Mole, and Marsha) Bugeaud.

A well informed Paris paper says:—* So far as we can judge from the incomplete séturns that arrive to us! from the departments, the suffrages were divided in the following proportions :—

COMMERCIAL.

Commercial affairs, says the Luropean Times, have considerably improved.

The Colonial Produce markets, although not active, have manifested considerable firmness, and a fair amount of business has been done. The supplies of all sorts of Breadstuffs continue large. "Eke market, which has. been dulband depressed, begins to. show a some- what firmer feeling. ‘Ihe fact is, that parties engaged inthe trade are beginning to think that prices have touched their lowest point, at least for the present; in- asmuch asthe disturbed state of the continent mus! have caused too large exports of food, therefrom, and which must shortly be replaced from this country.— Sales of Flour in bond have been made at 25s.
