KARIS, Tarasner EVENING.
It is very long sinota have heard any sort or con-
dition of men in Francs speak their minds so plainly
as almost everybody—not beings fanotionary, a legi-
timist, or a gambler at the Bonne—now does on
the imbject of yesterday's article in the Monsieur.
Many of the Emperor's oldest adhereets are lost in
astonishment at what they consider not only an act
of inexplicable ingratitude, but one of suicidal policy.
That LoniaNapoleon—w ho,when the Odeon ist govern-

mint of France demanded his extradition (a demand
which was eupported by many of the continental
Powers in the interest of what was then called
order) found an inviolable asylum in the Swiss Re.
public, which, faithful to its traditions, resolved to
brave Europe in arms rather than deliver him up—
should now take pert with Proasia against Switzer-
land in a quarrel wherein all the substantial right
is on the side of the republican government, and the
abettor of the royalist rebels has nothing but a legal
figment—and a figment, moreover, not material to
the immediate question—to rely upon, shocks the
undentanding, and shatters the faith of many
hitherto staunch Napoleonists. The Neufchatel
people enjoy their independence as a canton of the
I Swim Confederation by as long and as good a

title u the French Emperor holds his power. But
there is this difference in favour of Switzerland, that
whereas the legitimist pretender to the throne of
France is the descendant of a long line of kings
whose sovereignty wee absolute, the legitimist pre-
tender to the suzerainty of Neufchatel, whose cause
Napoleon 111. now espouses, had never even in his
I parchments a title which was not open to serious
question, and whose de facto role in the principality
was of the most shadowy and unimportant descrip-
tion. He is not only dieseized by the will
of the people, which is professedly the only test
of sovereignty according to present French institu-
tions, but, notwithstanding formal diplomatic pro-
tests and reserves, he has acquiesced during many
years in the act which ousted him, to the extent, at
least, of rendering himself a wrongdoer when he
pretends to justify the rebellion attempted in his
name against the government which has been in
' peaceable possession for nine years, while he has stood
by without interfering. In the Neufchatel bungs
there was every ingredient which, by the common
consent of mankind, is declared criminal. The go-
vernment was regular, long established, the popula-
tion was orderly and peaceable, the vast majority of
the people desired no change, and there was no
reasonable prospect of success. Under these circum-
stances the King of Prussia's' pretensions, backed
now by Louis Napoleon, that the rebels are to be with-
drawn from justice is preposterous. His rights, such as
they were,should have been enforced by arms long ago
if they were important enough and well founded
enough to justify such a remedy; but now that he
comes forward to support the theory that a govern.
latent which be had no sufficient reason
to attempt to subvert ever since 1848, is
bound to tolerate rebellion in his favour,
lhe puts himself completely out of any court where

reason presides. The Bourse people are, I belie,,,
palely mistaken in supposing that Switzerland will
yield, and I have the crongest reason to know that
she has the most sincere moral support of England.
The legitimist journals applaud the note in the
Monifeur, partly because it chimes in with their poll.
tical notions (because it echoes the sentiments which
lr their party would act upon if in power), bat more
beamse they see in it a further chance of breaking
up the English alliance—a consummation which they
ardently desiderate.
The Assemble* Nationale thus expresses itself:

The language of the note and the policy which it Mtn ye,
redound to the great honour of the government of the
Emperor. It may have been feared that, on this question,
the head of the Mate would have been influenced by the
manageable' of his former 'mutual relations with the
Federal government. The declarations of the Monaeur
Wean away every doubt on this score. The Emperor has
' only taken into consideration bis duties towards France
. . . _

and towards Europe—at which we rejoice. It is high One
to pat an end to this demagogical policy, of which the prin.
etpal seat is Berne, and which, after hariog commenced in
the heart of the Confederation itself with the oppression of
the smaller cantons, hse extended everywhere its disastrous
propaganda. Oa this point we will odd not►ing to what is
apparent in the very clear, fii.n, and energetic declaration
of the Monirsser.

The following pamagee are from the Gautee de
France:

It is not necessary to dwell an the importance of ea,
note, or on the serious consequences which may teen, to
the minks of the tranquillity of Europe, in the event of
Switzerland persisting in her " obstinacy." We rejoice at
the publiaation of this note in the official journal, since it
permits as to appreciate the real state of a question which
amines daily an importance that was far from having been
anticipated. Now that we know the opinion of the French
cabinet relative to the Neufchatel question, we may state
that this opinion is not in harmony with that of England;
for, although the latter power has not declared knit openly
on the question, the most authentic accounts permit us to
say that, whereas France has formally declared herself for
Prussia, England, in spits of the Conferences held in Lou-
don in 1862, appears resolved on supporting the pretension
of Switzerland. Oa what question, in fact, does our ally
agree with France 1

The Bourse opened heavily today, and even the
news that Consols had risen 3 per cent. produced no
effect upon the market, but when the second tele.
graphic despatch announced • further rise of
it was thought that the Bank of England mot have
lowered its discount, and an improvement took piece.
The Bente ultimately rase 10c. for cash and 20c. for
account, closing at 66k. Mc. and 66k. 75c. Mobiliet
rose 10fr. Railways were in an uncertain state.
Most of the lines fell from bfr. to 10fr. during the
first halt hour, but some of the principal lines were
in considerable demand afterwards. The majority,
however, left off somewhat lower than yesterday.
The complicated state of political affairs exercises

GENOA: Du. 14.

The government has sold the arsenal of Genoa to a
company of native and English capitalists, the pries
spoken of being about 16 millions of francs.
Some three years ago Count Cavour desired to get
some information about the best means of enlarging
the dock accommodation at this port, so as to provide
for the daily increasing wants of Genoese commerce.
The plan of Genii, the plan of Mans, and amid
other plans, were proposed and considered, after
which Count Cavour sent to London for that eminent
engineer, Mr. Rendel, and consulted him on the rub-
jeer. r. Rends! came here, examined the locality,
and went beck to London to prepare his report.
After tea months' further study of tree matter hie
report was sent to Count Cavour, and as no
immediate action was taken upon it, was sup-
posed to be buried amongst the other ministerial
papers. A committee of twelve members of the
Chamber of Deputies was subsequently appointed to
investigate the different projects ; but when Count
Cavour lately came here on his way to pay his
respects to the Empress Dowsger of Russia, he inti-
mated to Count Ottavio della Marmon, the chairman
of the committee, that he had made up his mind
about it, and that it would be of no use for the com-
mittee to make a report upon their decision, since the
ministers at Turin had determined to adopt the plan
of Mr. Rendel.

We can perceive, from the arrangements already
made, that Mr. Renders plan consists of removing
the naval establishment to Spezzia, converting the

. .
ancient arsenal of the Doges at Genoa into docki, and
selling the place to a company for that purpose.
Indeed, the remainder of the sailing ships of the
wavy, the frigates San Michele, 1/e Genera, and
Eurydice, the corvettes San Giovanni and Aquila,
have received orders to go and anchor at Spezzia ; the
screw steamer Vittorio Emmanuele is also gone, and
the Carlo Alberto alone will stay here, to wait for
the King and convey him to Nice, after the opening
of the Chambers on the 15th of January.
The Chevalier Soncompagoi, president of the Pied-
mantes, Chamber of Deputies, has been named
