FRANCE.—A Paris letter state* that Prince Napo-
has given notice in the Senate of his intention to
move an amendment to the Address, expressing, in
energetic terms, the regret of the Senate that the in-
&tibia, of the Pope should have frustrated the
efforts of the Emperor to effect a compromise, and
bring about a reconciliation between the Supremo Pon-
tiff and the Sing of llly. , The debate is expected to
be very stormy.

of the joernals are already prepared for • prolonged in-
activity of the standing army of the Potomac, bet they
