Czar, have at last felt the ground yielding under
their feet, and tt.'-ir coufidt nee has given place to
alarm. _ _ _

A Jassy eorrespood:mt of the Augslourg Ga:ette
writes:—fhose peon who consider the passage
of tho Pruth u mere demonstration will soon see

their error. The 4th and jith corps darme,e have
now passed the Pruth ; that is, 21 infantry regiments,
12 regiments of hussars and Cassaeks from the Don,
making together 110,04)0 meo, with 32 batteries,
part of which form a siege train. These forces, as
you are already aware, occupy the south of Wui-
lachia, or, to speak more distinctly, the left bank
of the Danube. Until yesterday we believed
that hardly more than 143,000 or 011,000 Russians
were in the Principalities, but the following estimate
is probably nearer the mark—in the two Principali-
ties between 1110,000 and 110,000 men ; in Bessarabia,
a reserve of 85,000 men. In addit:ou to the second
reserve army near Warsaw, there is to be a third
Inver Tula, to the south of Moscow, which, in case of
need, will reinforce the al iny acting on the Asiatic-
Turkish frontiers. All the preparations announce a
campaign of some duration, and the contracts for
supplies have been concluded up to next year. Ru-
mours arrive simultaneously trotn Constantinople
and Vienna that a powerful Russian army, which will
be under the command of Prince Paskiewitz, is as-
sembling on the frontiers of Armenia in the direction
of El zeroum.

The Pays professes still to be Conti lent of a pacific
solution of the Eastern question, and remarks that
the new complication cansed by the p oceedings of
Russia towards the Ilospodar of Moldavia, however
inexcusable these may be, will not prove an obstacle to
the arrangement of the Eastern question, if the Em-
peror of Russia will accept the condition of the eve-
, cuation of the Principalities.
'the Czar has ordered the Baltic fleet to be
equipped and go to r.ea immediately. The fleet
consists of about twenty ships of the line and fifteen
frigates.

PARIS, FRIDAY EViNINO.
Some attention has been paid to-day to an article
by M. de la Guerronnire, in the Pays, entitled the
"Poliey of Peace." If, as some think, the principal
object of the article was to support the Bourse, its
success has not been signal, the reaction from the
depression of the last two days having been very
trifling. The main scope of M. de la Guerronniere's
argument is to show that the concurrence of Austria
and Prussia in the propositions now under the consi-
deration of the Emperor of Russia could only have been
obtained by that moderate and patient policy which
has been taxed with vacillation and weakness. This

concurrence constitutes, he says, an " implicit
alliance" of the four powers, and, reasoning from that
vefy hasty assumption, he argues that the " speedy
solution of the present difficulty must be
a peace without weakness or a war with-
east danger." This theme is developed with-
that extraordinary prodigality of words for
which this writer is so remarkable. The most im-
portant part of the article is a distinct assertion that
France would not have moved at all in the Eastern
question without the co-operation of England, from
which it may be inferred that if England should yet
hesitate, France will not go forward.
The alloniteur contains a list for 49 departments
et the presidents, vice-presidents, and score-
brim of the councils-general, nominated by
the Emperor for the sessions of 1853. The
principle introduced on December 2, 1831, of
assuring the subserviency of all representative
bodies by the direct pressure of the executive power,
bee been carefully attended to in the selection. With
very few exceptions, the persons appointed to regu-
late and record the proceedings of local deliberative
assemblies in theory. elective, and supposed to repre-
sent freely the opinions of their respective districts,
sn placemen or courtiers. A little later in the
year the Moniteur will speak of the happy
unanimity of opinion prevailing in the councils-
=twith regard to every act of the government.
rill be nothing wonderful in this unanimity,
beano the councillors, besides that they were them-
Niro elected by that infallible process of regulated
wafversal suffrage held up by the Charirari as
worthy of adoption by the Emperor of Russia, will
see in every president • man ready to-morrow to
bloomy an extraordinary commissioner, transporting
without evidence to Algeria and Cayenne, and in
every secretary the keeper of a black book,
in which any independent expression of an opinion
would be diligently recorded against them. The
following are some of the most remarkable names
in this list: MM. Quentin Bauchart, Councillor
of State and Extraordinary Commissioner; Marshal
Magnan ; M. Fould, Minister of State ; M. Fortoul,
Minister of Public Instruction ; M. Abbatucci, Minis-
ter of Justice; M. Binenu, Minister of Finance;
the Count de Moray • General the Marquis d'Hant-
pout, Grand Refereedary of the Senate ; M. Trop.
long, President of the Senate and of the Court of
Cessation ; M. de Royer, Procureur-General of the
Court of Cessation; Generals do Lourmel and de
Goyon, Aides-de-Camp to the Emperor; Prince de
Beauvau, Senator; M. Rouher, Vice-President of
the Council of State ; and M. Daviel, l'rocureur-

General.
The editor of the Si,lch, was summoned to the Mi-
nistry of the luterior to day tube privatelyadmonished
on account°, a recent critique by M. E. Pelletan upon
the writings of Jules Janin, in which the expression
ccured " Who could have thought that the time
could ever arrive when I, I'elletsn, should he es-
teemed a Brutus, and you, Janiu, a Cato." This was
considered an unwarrantable reflection upon the go-
vernment. _ _ .

A man named Jean lkdidier, formerly a postillion
in the service of the Duchess of Angouleme, and af-
terwards a groom in the Count de Chambord's sta-
bles, has been sentenced to a year's imprisonment
and a floe of 500 fr. for speaking disrespectfully of a
portrait of the Empress. The editor of the Chat
des Alpes has been sent to prison for three months
for an offence against the person of the Emperor.
The contract for completing the harbour of Cher-
bourg has been adjudged to a Marseilles company at
tho sum of 5,400,000 fr. According to the cnhier de
charges, the basin and the -quays are to be finished

A great sensation has been!produced:at Toulouse by
a judgment of the civil tribunal against Nl. Francois
Sans, an ex-deputy, and former mayor of Toulouse,
condemning him to pay the amount of some
bills of exchange drawn by himself, and
fraudulently abstracted by him from the papers of
his uncle lately deemed. As soon as the ju.l.pnent
was r.ronounced, the Procureur-Imperial, uccom-
panir,d by several officers of jay' ice, proceeded to M.
Siris' house to arrest him, but he was not to be
fi.,und. Warrants for his arrest have beer, sent out
in all directions.
