energy, and not the less pursue the object which
they have proposed to themselves, and concludes
with a threat that to insure success it is very cer-
tain they will break down all obstacles, whenever
they may present themselves, and will not interdict
themselves the right of carrying their victorious arms
on any point where Russia is vulnerable.
The Gazette du Midi, speaking of the operations
of the war, shoes in what light our pitifully small
army is regarded by the French :

The vigour and rapidity lately displayed in the operations
of the allies must be specially attributed to the. unity of
command of which Marshal Pelissier unhesitatingly
assumed the initiative. Although the British army con-
tinues to be under the orders of General Simpson, the
Piedmontese under those ofGeneral dela Marmora, and the
Turks under those of Osman Pacha, these superior offi-
cers have the greatest deference in council for the opinion
of the General-in-Chief of the French army, which alone
counts more than two thirds of the whole number of com-
batants ; they also follow his directions in the execution
of the operations agreed upon. The recent appointment
of General Pelissier to the rank of Marshal of France, a
just recompense for his energetic bravery, will increase the
moral ascendancy which he has obtained.

Preparations are being made at the Invalides to
receive the cannons taken at Sebastopol and the
Russian flags, which latter are to be placed by the
aide of those of Austerlitz, Wagram, Jena, Al-
giers, &c.
The French Government have this week estab-
lished a tariff for butcher's meat, such as already
exists for bread, in Paris. The butcher's trade is a
monopoly in the bands of five hundred master but-
chers, who hitherto have fixed the price of their
meat themselves. The decree of the Prefect of
Police has changed that, and henceforth meat will be
sold according to a tariff settled every fortnight by
competent authorities.
The Emperor is expected at Boulogne in a few
days. It is said that he will be accompanied by
Abd-el•Kader, and several other distinguished per-
sonages. Great military operations are to take place
under his Majesty's inspection.
Prince Carini, the Neapolitan Ambassador at the
Court of St. James's, is still in Paris. His Excel-
lency is desirous of proceeding to Naples, with a
view of placing before the King the state of the
position in which his Majesty is placed by the recent
conduct of the Neapolitan Government towards
France and England. But his Excellency has re-
ceived orders from home to remain in Paris for the
present.

The King and Queen of Prussia continue at Stol-
zenfels incognito. The stay of the Court at
Stolzenfels will last over the birthday of the Princess
of Prussia (the 30th), which will be celebrated at
Cohlentz, the residence of the Prince, as Governor of
the Rhine provinces. It had been expected that the
fiancaillet of the Princess Louisa, daughter of the
Prince and Princess of Prussia, with the Prince Re-
gent of Baden, would have taken place before this ;
but a cloud appears suddenly to have overshadowed
the prospects of the would-be bridegroom.
Count Bernsdorff and Count Hatzfeld, Prussian
Ambassadors to the Courts of London and I'aris,
have arrived at Coblentz, summoned, it is said, by the
King of Prussia, in order to inform him verbally of
the actual state of affairs, and the present intentions
of the Cabinets of Paris and London. It is rumoured
that the French and British 4mbassadoi a to foreign
Courts have received from their respective Cabinets
a circular respecting the present political position of
the allies since the taking of Sebastopol.
