M. News de Lime and. Baron Hubner Mere
lately had several conferences to settle the terms of
the alliance offensive and defensive about to be con-
cluded between France, England, and Austria. I
have reason to believe that a satisfactory understand-
lug has been come to, Rad that the treaty, which in
all probability is already signed, will speedily appear
in the Atoseigeser.

There are a variety of rumours afloat concerning
Prince Napoleon, his report to the Emperor of the
way in which the war is being conducted, and the
probable cooseuenees of his representations. Some
people profess to know for certain that General Can-
robert will be superseded by. General Pelissier, who
was to have left Algiers on the 18th to take the
command of a division in the Crimea. Ido not
believe this report. General Cansobert is of
all the soldiers who took a leading part in the
coup d'etat perhaps the most popular in the
army, his daihtary geniur and exalted personal cha-
racter being admitted by oflioers whose political
sympathies are altogether adverse to the present
regime. It was known long ago that the Emperor
looked to him as the man likely to illustrate the
French arms under his reign. The high command
he now wields is a confirmation of all that has been
said about the Emperor's confidence in him, and I do
not believe that confidence is at this moment in any
degree forfeited. But this much is true :—There is at'
the Palau Royal a species of tolerated opposition to
the Tuileries. Prince Napoleon, as 7ou have seen
by the article in the Press*, has put himself upon the
country as a censor of the actual commander of the
army before Sebastopol. That he may have made a
report against General Canrobert is very likely. It
is possible that for reasons of state an apparent im-
portance may be allowed to be attached to this re-
port in certain court circles. But there is small like-
lihood that it will be acted upon.
I believe M. Magne will shortly be appointed
Minister of Finance in the place of M. Bineau, whore
health is in a desperate state. M. Rouher is spoken
of as likely to be the new Minister of Public Works.
M. Msgne, I am told, wishes to keep the latter
portfolio until•the affair of the Grand Central Rail- I
way, in which he takes a great interest, is settled.
The general meeting, which it was thought would
have been postponed, was held yesterday. The
management asked for full powers to continue their
negotiations with government for the Never and
several other branch lines. These powers were
I granted unanimously. No fresh Gall was spoken of,
but it was agreed that special boa& should be created
for the ext ention of the Neves* line.

People pretend that the article in today's Mani-
kur on the success of the loan, was written by the
Emperor.
The Bourse opened well, and, after a decline of
several centimes in the middle of the day, the Itente
roes again, and closed at 68fr. 10e., with a rise of
40e. Railways were remarkably firm. Some lines
rose 10fr. and 15fr.
The Nouvelliste of Marseilles says that the high
winds have blown down some thirty poets on the line
of the electric telegraph in the Gran plain. This
explains the recent interruption in the service.
The Princess Joachim Murat was safely delivered
of a daughter yesterday evening.

THE FRENCH LOAN.

The Mon iteur of yesterday publishes the following
article:

The reception given to the former proposal of a national
loan was a guarantee of the success of the new appeal which
the Emperor has just made to the country, but the result of
the latter baisarpared all ezoectation. " Never," se the
Minister of Finance said In his report, " never has a people
given to its sovereign such sigeal evidence of confidence and',
devotion." The Emperor asked of France 500 millions, the
deputies vote them by acclamation, France answers that
she is ready to gin four times the sum, and foreign na-
tions, joining in this national manifestation, impress on it
the character of a European manifestation.
In twelve days two milliards and two hundred millions
(two thousand two hundred millions of franca) have been
subscribed. To judge by the throngs which hastened to
the offices down to the last moment, a week more would
have considerably added to this enormous amount. The
crowd was so great at the Treasury, at the smirks, at the
offices of the taz collectors, in every place open to the sub•
ecription, that a great number of persons could not take
part in it. Never hes such zealous regaining been displayed,
and this, too, in Ihe midst of war, in the depth of winter,
when we are just emerging from the food crisis, and with-
out the adventitious aid of any event to stimulate the seal
of the subscribers.

It is not possible to shat caa's ape to the meaning of this
peat political event. The object of the loan was known;
to his speech at the opening of the Chambers the Emperor
had proclaimed it aloud. The question was, not to provide for
the internal expenses of Franco; alum the re•ostablisbment
of order the of the country amply sailors for every
want ; the question was solely the means of corryine on the
war with fresh vigour. It is nevertheless in a financial
operation, thus explicitly defined, that not Francs and
England alone, but Holland also, Belgium Switzerlaad,
and aeon Germany, have jollied without% alierity.
The brillisat success of this operation is grater than a
victory, it is the mean of gaining victories. If money
forms the sinews of war, Fresco has just proved that she is
no more in want of money tbaa she is of soldiery, that the
Emperor can equally depend oa the coffin as he sea on the
