UNEASINESS ON THE CONTINENT.

The Paris correspondent of the Lidipendance
Beige, says :
We are uneasy at home, and measures adopted by the
Minister of the Interior are not calculated to calm minds.
The apprehensions about the future are revived. The
number of those who believe in vary grave events
neat spring increases day by day. It is true that the
activity displayed by the war department is calculated to
confirm the alarm of the pessimists. It seems certain that
the Duke of Magenta will not remain in Algeria. Ile is
expected in a few weeks, and his post will be filled by
General Daumas. The appointment of Marshal Bassin.
to the important command of Nancy cannot fail to make
an impression in Germany.

The correspondent of the Liberti in Rome men-
tions the arrival of French troops in Civita Vecchia
on Saturday last, and adds that it is difficult to
reconcile these accessions to the expeditionary
force with the intention of its proximate return to
France.

Beige, "produced a most painful impression throughout
Germany. It is said that he is going to appeal to the

consider, so be an opposition to the letter and spirit of the
Prussian constitution. The question will oome on for con.
sideration in parliament, and several deputies will move
resolutions upon it."

stant the imperial family must have been crushed in its
fall.

instead of 90,000 or so, the ordinary quota of the year.
With lass year's levy of 112,000 men the new recruits will
