ubsequently commanded the army in Spain, and in 1813 was made
Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard. When Napoleon first landed from
Elba he issued a proclamation against him, but soon after became one of
his warmest adherents. He was afterward the firm supporter of Louis
Philippe, as Minister of War and President of the Council, from which he
retired in 1847 to private life. He was the last representative of the
imperial era of France.

From AUSTRIA the only news is of new arrests and new restrictions. A
number of persons in Hungary, including the mother and the sisters of
Kossuth, had been arrested merely on suspicion at Pesth: and a subsequent
account announces the death of his mother. The prisoners were removed to
Vienna. The military governor of Vienna has forbidden the papers hereafter

the 20th of December.

In TURKEY the question of Russian predominance has again been raised, by
the demand of the French, upon the Turkish government, for the control of
the Holy Sepulchre, which, they allege, was guaranteed to them by tr
