NAPOLEON 111. OR NAPOLEON 11. ?

The French Journal of Frankfort publishes, under
the form of letters from Vienna, articles to which,
whether correctly or not, the other German journals
attribute a semi-official origin. "Having regard to
the assurances of peace given by Louis Napoleon at
Bordeaux, the powers." says the Frankfort journal,
" will acknowledge the empire in France, for they
themselves have the greatest interest in the main-
tenance of European peace, and in there being at
length an end of the changes in the form of !govern-
ment and in the dynasties of France, and it is not
their business to place obstacles in the way of the
man to whom it is reserved to attempt this diffi
cult work, provided that the first step taken with'
this view tends towards the peace of Europe.
The powers have twice (in 1814 and in
1815) enabled the elder branch of the Bourbons
to re-mount the throne of their ancestors, but they
could not maintain their position, still less could they
arrest the revolution in France. Neither has the
younger branch of the Bourbons been in a condition
Ito pat an end to the revolution, for the second repub-
Inc was the revolution en permanence. The feeling
of fidelity has been destroyed in France by these (fe-
-1
lquent changes. Neither under the last twaitingsof the
'cider branch, nor under Louis Philippe has she known
the obedience of the heart. She has only obeyed be-
cause she was obliged. The great task of Louis
Napoleon is that of transforming the only faith
which the nation has preserved—the faith in the re-
membrance of the glorious and powerful Emperor
Napoleon—into a true faith, and forced obedience
into voluntary and spontaneous obedience. The
powers will see in the title of Emperor adopted by
Louis Napoleon a resurrection of the title of the
Boman naperalores. That is to say they will not
admit of Napoleon ILL They recognised a Louis'
XVU., but a Napoleon 11.

THE ORLEANS PROPERTY.

The testamentary executors of the late Louis
Philippe—M. Dept°, the Doke de Montmorency,
Count Montalivet, M. Laplagne-Barris, and M.
Scribe—have addreesed an energetic protest to the
President of the Republic against the decree of Jan.
22,relative to the possessions of the hones of Orleans.
The executors having observed that the decree over-
threw not only the testaments which they have the
honour to execute, but all the civil contracts which
have regulated and fixed the position and rights of
the august house of Orleans, go on, as they state, to
expose the legal mistakes upon which the said de-
cree proceeds.
Against the ancient principle of the devolution of
the Prince's possessions to the state upon hie mount-
ing the throne involved in the aforesaid decrees, they
might prove that the ancient law itself was but an
emanation of feudality, when there was no domain
lof the state as distinct from that of the crown. Na-
poleon formally repudiated it (" Senates Consulte,"
IJan. 30, 1810. See.lll., Art. 48 and 49); Charles X.
avoided it, in the donation to his younger son. But
such considerations would be superfluous, since the
ancient law cannot be seriously invoked against
a prince who receives his crown not according
to but in defiance of that law. Louis Phi-
lippe was master of his private property when
ihe settled his domain upon his family, and unques-
tionably his liberty to make that settlement was one
of the conditions upon which he accepted the crown.
The chambers, heirs of the power of the ancient par-
liament, legalised the settlement in 1832, declaring
I expressly that the king had preserved his private
property, and to deny, as the President by the decree
of Jan. 22 does not scruple to do, the competence of
the public powers of the constitutional monarchy is
to menace every interest which has grown up during
a period of 30 years. Adverting to the revival and
settlement of the question in 1848, and again in
1850, they remark that at three different epochs, and
after solemn debates, the gift of Louis Philippe has
been confirmed and consecrated by the state. Having
disposed of the legal question, the executors expose
the immense injury which the decrees will effect.
In any case, they say they demand the decision of a
legal tribunal.

THE TAoua FLesti.— fho British vessels of war
at Lisbon on the departure of the Madrid, Jan. 24, were :
Prince It,Tent, 90 ; La Hogue, 60 ; Leander, 60 ; Are-
those, 60; and Winntless, 32.

rived at Clibroltar no the 14th from Tangiers, and was

AUSTRIA.

According to the correspondent of the Yew Prus-
sian Gazette, M. Brentano, of the Austrian finance
ministry, is in negotiation with M. Anselin Roths-
child for a new lean, which the latter, it is said, is
disposed to undertake.

pears to have renounced the intention of going to
Venice.

The weekly list of sentences by court-martial, pub-
lished in the Kenna Gazette of the 27th, as usual,
contains one of a week's imprisonment and 20 lashes

GREECE.

The terrier d'Athenes publishes the memoir
addressed by Lord Palmerston to the Cheek govern-
ment, upon the state of brigandage in that country.
Ills lordship depicts the disorders of the country in
vivid colours, supporting his assertion by specific
instances, and blaming the government for its nume-
rous indirect encouragements of the principal evil
complained of. The Greek finance minister pre-
sented the budget for 1832 to the chamber on the
last day of the old year. M. Sapountzi, prosecuted
for an article in the Minerva, supposed to reflect
injuriously on the King, had been acquitted by
the jury.

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS. Die. 23.
The Chamber of Itepresentatives has just voted the
provisional treaty of commerce with France, the
one signed on the 9th inst. The discussion took
place in a secret sitting, but the result of the debate
was communicated as fdlows :—ln favour of the
treaty, 62 ; against it, There were sixteen mem-
bers who, for various motives whi 1 they explained
to their colleagues, but which have not been made
public, took no part in the vote. I can state on good
authority that, during the three secret debates, some
warm and even violent speeches were delivered, the
hon. member • not having, as in times of ordinary
discussion, the fear before them of the ladies in tie
gallery--spectatore who, as Mr. Berkeley said some
years ago in the House of Commons, " bridle the
manly passions." After voting the treaty, the cham-
ber commenced the discussion of the budget of foreign
offuirs, and agreed to nearly all the items. Baron
(l y, of Antwerp, expressed the hope that steps
I would be soon taken to effect a treaty of coatmerba
with Spain and its colonies.

THE NEW MINISTRY.

The New Ministry were not yesterday truly to
move for their new writs in the House of Commons.
and we have now to wait till Monday for the official
programme. Meanwhile the following has been
handed about the clubs as the "latest intelliAence"
on the subject. The many changes in the ministerial
scheme will, however, throw doubt on all assertions
till the list is Uasetted:

CABINET.
First Lord of the Trea-
sury
Foreign Secretary
Home Secretary
ColoDila Secretary
Board of Control Sir CHARDS WooD.
Board of Works
Secretary at-War
Chancellor of the Ex-
etieqaer
Lord Chancellor
Fro.ident of the Council Earl GRANVILLE.
Lord Privy Seal Duke of ARGYLE.

The Marquis of Lansdowne will bare a seat in the
cabinet without office.

l'oetmaster-General CANNING, or
Lord CLANMICARDE.
Secretary of the Admi-
ralty
Lord-Lieutenant of Ire-

land

It must be mentioned that the statement given
yesterday of Sir WILLIAM MOLFAMOMITI having re-
fused the office of Secretary-at-War without a scat in
the Cabinet, was at that time perfectly correct. Sub-
sequestly to that refusal, however, the honourable
Baronet received an offer of a seat in the Cabinet,
though to what particular office it would be attached
was not then stated. This offer was accepted by
Sir WILLIAM Mot.►.swoat'tt, and it is now understood
that he will be Commissioner of Publics Works.

DUBLIN, JAN. 8.
The following statements, made by the Limerick
Chronicle are, if well Nandi& decidedly important:
Intell.gence from the Roman embolic archdiocese of Cashel,
received at the Limerick CAseisicto olliee on Tuesday, con-
veys the impirtant assurance that Archbishop Slattery,
upon reading over in print the statutes of Thuile. Synod.
ban arrived at the conclusion that they could not with ad-
vantage to the church or his dock be enforced in the present
circurnstinees and condition of this country, and therefore
he has left his clergy to set at their own discretion with
reward ti the observance of them. This decision will have

ITALY.

The Piedmontese Semite continued, in its sitting
of the 16th, the discussion on the Civil Marriage
Bill. Chevalier Boncompagni, Minister of Justice,
supported the bill, declaring that he was a friend of
liberty of conscience, that the spiritual church could
not exert its salutary influence so loog as it made
common cause with the temporal privileges of the
clergy, because in that case the public would think
it hostile to liberty. It was certainly to be desired,
ho said, that the misunderstanding with Rome
should cease, but only on condition of mutual inde-
pendence. The Archbishop of Angennes attacked
the bill in a speech from which it would appear that
the orator did not consider marriage in the light of
a contract at all, tot even when blessed by the
church. M. Della Marmon thought tho law inex-
pedient at the present moment. M. do Cavour, in
support of the bill, contended that an institution
which was not condemned by the church either in
France, or Belgium, or any other catholic country,
could not be looked upon as hostile to the church.
Civil marriage had nut rendered the present gene-
ration of France more immoral. Either the bill
must be supported, or the supremacy of the church
admitted, in which case all reform would be impos-
sible. M. Riccardi followed on the same side, and
expressed his surprise that laws of such deep inte-
rest to families as well as to the civil state should
meet in Italy with an opposition they had not en-
countered elsewhere. A good law on such mstters
could only be founded on the distinct separation of
the civil and ecclesiastical powers : else one element
would always have the upper hand over the other.
The discussion was adjourned to the following
day.
Letters from Florence, in the Augsburg Gazette,
state that a person named Guarducci has been
arrested at Florence for having been found in posses.

on the 11th by the police in the apartments of the
chief editor of the Speranza, but without effect.

SPAIN.
The Madrid Oaattge of the lath publishes the
royal decrees accepting the resignation of M. Bravo
Murillo and his colleagues. and constituting the new
ministry as we stated on Monday. The new ministers
waited on the Queen and took the oaths of office on
the evening of the 14th. The Heraldu remarks that
not one of the new ministers belongs to the oppoei-
fon which contended recently with the greatest
energy against the late ministry, but some of them
completely disapproved of the projected tampering
with the constitution. The same Journal says: "Just
as we were going to press, we received notice from
M. Ventura Diaz, that the Elvers, Diario Espanol,
and Herald°, have been denounced; the two first for
leading articles, and the third for publishing an
address to the electors." The Madrid journals an-
nounce that M. Juan Gimenes Sandoval, Marquis de
Where, now ambassador to Holland, is appointed
Minister of Spain in Mexico, in place of M. Antonio
y Zap& General Chacon, captain.general of Burgos,
and Colonel Serrano, his eidede•camp, who was
aide-de-camp to Eapartero, have given in their resir- '
nation!.

The Queen of Spain hu issued a decree declaring
that all merchandise coming into Spain in Spanish
bottoms from Gibraltar, Portugal, Algeria, and the
ports between the Gironde, inclusively, and the
Widows, and from the frontier limit between Spain
and France to Marseilles inclusively, shall only pay
the duties fixed by the customs tariff for the native
flag. By the decree of July 9. 1811, which is now
revoked, merchandise from the points enumerated
was subject to an increased rate of duty.

ROMAN STATES.

Our Roman correspondent, writing on the 24th
February, states that the conspiracy to produce con-
fusion during the carnival was the principal topic of
interest in that city. Fifty or sixty individuals had
been arrested, and some hundreds placed under po-
lice surveillance in consequence. Cardinal Cutra-
cane died on the 22nd inst., and Cardinal Bernetti
was expected to follow his example. H.M. war
steamer Spiteful, Capt. Parker, left Civita Vecchia
on the 20th. Further discoveries of great antiqua-
rian interest had been made in the hot springs of
Vicarello, near Bracciano.
