Generals Pelissier , Rivet , and Desvilliers sailed on Wednesday from Marseilles for the Crimea . General Pelissier landed from Oran on the preceding Monday .
The Piedmontese contingent is being actively organised . It will leave for the Crimea towards the end of February . General La Marmora , Minister of War , will command it . It will be reviewed in the plains of Marengo by the King about the 12 th or 15 th inst . The Diet at Frankfort has rejected the Austrian project for the general mobilisation of the Federal army , and adopted that Bavarian compromise supported by Prussia , and acceded to by Austria , that the principal contingents should * bo made ready for war . M . Drouyn de Lhuys has addressed another sharp note to the French Ministers at Foreign Courts on the conduct of Prussia .
On the 21 st of January M . de Manteuffcl addressed to the representatives of Prussia in Paris and London a despatch , not moro than usually mystifying and enigmatical , professing to explain why , after admitting that Prussia cannot join the treaty of the 2 nd of December , the Powers negotiating havo hot been able " to reconcile their common purpose with their particular interests . " The Queen , Maria Adelaide , of Piedmont , was buried on the 24 th ult . with great pomp , am * amidst the universal grief of the nation . The Archbishop of Genoa was the officiating priest .

It is said that Prince de Canino , sometime President of the Roman National Assembly , has , ventured to take orders in the expectation of becoming a dardinaJ . At Rome , we hear the Papal solemnity of St . Peter s chair , concerning which Lady Morgan has put forth such heterodox opinions ; the polyglot declamations of the Propaganda collegians ; and the blessing of beasts at the shrine of St . Anthony , are amusing the foreign sightseers in the Eternal City . Cardinal Simonelli is dead . His place as " Secretary of Memorials , " one of a confidential and intimate nature in the service of the Pope , has been given to
Cardinal Altieri . , The prefect of the Haute Garonne , in a circular to the mayors of his department , says that he is convinced from the extraordinary number of passports lately issued to young men that many persons have lately gone abroad to escape the chance of being drawn for the army . He therefore orders that in future no passports for a foreign country shall be granted to young men above nineteen years of age and liable to serve , except in special cases , and then only when the reasons shall have first been submitted to him .
Attempts to pass forged Bank of England notes on the Continent appear at present to be numerous , probably on account of the increased circulation caused by the war . A few days back mention was made of several unusually well executed specimens which had been remitted from Marseilles ; and according to advices from Frankfort , it appears that a Spaniard has just been arrested at that city , after having negotiated 200 / . with temporary success , and that a considerable sum of good money was found upon him , together with 20 , 000 / . in forged notes . The French Government has just accorded to the town of Valenciennes a fine block of marble for the statue of Froissart .
The following paragraph , which appears in the compendium of a daily contemporary , will excite some derisive interest in France : — " The family of Marshal St .

Confession Of The Murderer Bartpielemy. ...
CONFESSION OF THE MURDERER BARTPIELEMY . Mn . Herring , Barthelemy ' s solicitor , has published a statement , which , he says , he received from Barthelemy a few days before his execution . Emmanuel Barthelemy says , that— "On the night I went to Moore ' s , I had no intention of going , until a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes before I knocked at Mr . Moore ' s door , and entered his house . I had been into the City on important business , and was disappointed ; and it was my intention , on my return home , of going into a shooting gallory at Westminster , near Buckingham Palace . I think thoy call it ' Gun Tavern . ' It was my intention of practising with tho pistols . I had taken them out of pawn about two months ; but , when I arrived at tho place , I found it shut , and then went to my house at Chelsea , and found no one at homo . I then walked
towards , I think tho namo of tho street is Great Portland-strcot , or road , I am not sure which ; and when I arrived there , I met the female , who informed me she was going to Mr . Moore ' s , and asked me to accompany her , which I consented to do , and knocked at tho door , and asked for Mr . Moore , and was shown into tho back parlour , and Mr . Moore received ua at first well , and , after somo little time , the female began to talk to Mr . Moore in French , when Mr . Moore said to her ,. ' Why don't you talk to mo in English ? ' I niado a reply , and said , ' You know she cannot understand English , and you have talked to me in French ; ' when Mr . Moore said , ' It is no business of yours ; ' and then she took out a letter from her pocket , and began to rcud , which sho did in French , and when she had read nearly the first page , Mr . Moore rose from his chair in a passion , and endeavoured to snatch tho letter out of hor hand , upon which I rose , and lifted my arm up to prevent him , and pushed
him back , and he staggered and partly fell ; and then he took something up , which I afterwards found was the lead with the piece of cane , and struck the same violently against the chair , and came towards me and the female , and struck me and pushed me towards the passage , and when in the passage he pushed and struck me several times , although I was trying to get out as fast as 1 could . The last time he struck me was when the servant had partly opened the door , and then I let the pistol off that shot Mr . Moore , for which I am sorry , I having no ill-will towards him . Finding I could not get out for the persons at the front door ,, I shut the door , and went to . the back door and took down a bar that went across the . door , and opened it and let the female out , and when we got into the back yard the female was greatly alarmed at Mr . Moore ' s death , and begged and prayed me to shoot her more than once . I had not the heart to do so ; I was anxious she should escape . I put my hand into my pocket , and took out my purse , and gave it to her , which contained a sovereign and some silver , and in doing so took the cane out of her hands , and lifted her upon the wall , and she made her escape . I had the pistol in my hand , and when I was in the act of getting ' over the wall I heard some persons call out aloud something , and then in the hurry I staggered , and some persons took hold of me , and then the pistol went off and shot poor Collard , which I feel much hurt at , for I had never seen or known him before . I then endeavoured to make my escape and was taken . I can assure you , Mr . Herring , there was no foul play respecting the duel at Egham—the person I shot was a French spy . "
The Murder In Foley-Place. The Coroner's...
THE MURDER IN FOLEY-PLACE . The coroner ' s inquest has bee n finished , resulting in a verdict of Wilful Murder against Luigi Buranelli . The evidence leading to the conviction has been already laid before the public . The statement made by Buranelli was read over , and he said he believed that it was correct . He did not wish for a legal adviser . The state of Mrs . Lambert ' s health rendered it necessary for the jury to adjourn to No . 5 , IToleyplace , the scene of the tragedy . Mrs . Lambert was then examined , and , after some hesitation , shesaidthat she was a widow , and that her husband was a gentleman farmer , named George Jeanes , and hadresided in Devonshire . Buranelli , on entering , eyed his victim with a fixe d stare , upon meeting which , in the act of recognition , Mrs . Jeanes screamed out , " Oh !_ take him from me ! " and then bec ame violently hysterical for several minutes . _ ~ . Mrs . JVilliamson was also examined ; she was in deep mourning , and appeared to be in profound grief . Her evidence was precisely similar to what has already appeared . Inspector Dargan said the prisoner had made a statement to him after his admission to the hospital , and had admitted the purchase of the pistols on the Thursday previous to the murder . The coroner thought the evidence so clear that it called for no comment from him , nor even fo r the evidence to be read over . The jury assented , and immediately returned their verdict of Wilful Murder . The '" coroner then ¦ " iiFade"b ^ t ~ lKe' ;" warrant--for--thecommittal of Buranelli to Newgate . " routine" in the police .
When the verdict was given , an affray arose between tho force of Sir llichard May no and the county officers . The regulars expected the immediate custody of the prisoner , for the purpose of taking him , according to routine , before a magistrate . Mr . Wakley , the coroner , commented in strong terms on the absurdity of this , and characterised it ns an insult to the jury . Inspector Dargan thought the law all on his side , but on the other hand , two parochial officers of Mnrylebone had been bound over by the coroner in 40 / , ench to take the prisoner to Newgate . Buranelli was placed in a cab , which the police garrisoned , but the inspector
was pulled off the box by a juryman . A very violent discussion ensued , ench party explaining the law , and each explanation making the law more intricate . The police curried the day , but the other officers and the jury followed in other cabs , and finally Sir Richard Mayue was found and appealed to . He assented to the execution of tho coroner s warrant , and Buranelli was lodged in Newgate . This disgraceful scene appeared to exdtelhc greatest interest ; but , much as it is to bo regretted , it win probably lead to tho settlement of this long-ycxca question , and a proper definition of tho law as to tho jurisdiction and power of coroners and police
magis-According to routine the prisoner would bo tried at the present sessions ; but appUcntioii hn » been made and granted for postponement , ns there is not time to got up the evidence .
