PARIS. Nov. 8.

The Paris papers state that the Emperor and
Empress, with the Prince Imperial, left to-day for
Compiegne, where they will remain a month.
During their Majesties' stay three seta of guests
will be entertained at the chateau. The first set
is invited for the 10th inst.

The Memorial Diplomatique of to-day, alluding
to the guarantees offered by France to Austria
some months ago in the event of war with Russia,
says :—" It is essential to state the following fact,
in order to appreciate this question in its true
bearing. Before M. Dronyn de Lhuys forwarded
his despatch to Vienna of the 21st June,
the Emperor of the French had made the offer of
guarantees direct to Prince Metternich. In March
last, after the occurrence of the Polish complies-

tione, his Majesty explained to the Austrian am-
bassador with complete frankness the policy France
wished should be adopted, to secure the durable
pacification of Poland. The Emperor had spon-
taneonaly broactbeithaissestioa of the guarantees
Austria had a right to claim for her own security
before engaging to lend active assistance to the
plan of the court of the Tuileries. These overtures,
then entirely confidential, were the cause of Prince
Metternich's journey soon afterwards to Vienna.
The diplomatist returned to his post with the
necessary instructions and powers to set up

the land-marks of a common understanding.
The question of guarantees was in any case re-
served and postponed for ulterior examination.
Its adjournment was intended to deprive Russia
of every pretext, however alight, justifying her
resistance."

Referring to the Emperor's speech at the opening
of the Chambers, the Inmorial Diplomatique Kays :
" Nothing could show more clearly the true mean-
ing of the speech than the eagerness displayed by
his Majesty to convene his allies and friends for
co-operation in the programme he has marked out
from the throne. With this object the Emperor
has already caused autograph letters to be sent to
the principal sovereigns of Europe. The purport of
these communications tends to justify the remarkable
words of the Bordeaux programme : ' The Empire
is peace.' The letters will be handed to the sove-
reigns by the representatives of France abroad.
Considering that in constitutional Btates,where the
principle of ministerial responsibility obtains—as,
for instance, in England—the crown would be un-
able to enter into any engagement in a matter of
this importance without the assent of the Cabinet,
the diplomatic agents of the Emperor, at the same
time with the programme stated in the speech, will
receive explanations calculated to enable them to
point out the practical bearing of the project due
to the initiative of France. The correspondence
between the Emperor Napoleon and the other
sovereigns will thus be accompanied by a simulta-
neous exchange of views between the cabinets them-
selves. This proceeding will hasten the arrival of
the answers in a question to the solution of which
the destinies and future of Europe are attached."
The Opinion Nationale says that the King of
Italy has accepted the invitation to a congress, and
has congratulated the Emperor upon his generous
initiative.

The Patric asserts that a Cabinet Council in
London has already discussed the proposition for a
Congress.
