FRANCE.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
Cabinet Councils are daily held at St. Cloud. Toe
Moniteur says :—" Some journals have spoken of a
journey which they said the Prince President was
on the point of making in the north of France. We
are authorized to declare that the statement is en-
tirely unfounded."
Among the numerous addresses presented to the
Prince President in favour of the re-establishment of
the Empire, published in the illoniteur of this day,
is the following, from the Chamber of Commerce
of Paris:—

" Monseigneur—You have saifl, L'Empire, c'ev.
paix ;' that is to say, order, labour, credit, and an im-
pulse given to all great public and private undertakings;
it is public welfare finding its way into all classes of so-
ciety ; it is general prosperity !
" France, which has faith in your words, which relies
on all that you meditate for her happiness, and which
knows, by experience, that between your will and its
realization there is scarcely time for hope—France, by
her immense and unanimous acclamation, decrees to
you the supreme power.
" Yield to her wishes, Monseigneur ; it will constitute
another claim which you will acquire to her gratitude.
"The Commerce of Faris, of which we are the organ,
offers to you beforehand its sincere thanks. In order to
live and prosper it has need of peace, and it expects it
front you with the most complete security ; it compre-
hends that it will be the more solid and more durable,
as under your reign it will never be purchased at the
price of the honour and grandeur of our country."

Preparations are being made at the Luxembourg
for the extraordinary session which will commence
on the 4th November. The bureaux are busily em-
ployed ih examining the petitions which every day
arrive from the departments in favour of the Empire.
Several clerks belonging to the different ministrits
are, says the Constitutionnel, now employed at the
National Library in collecting all the details which
have been published relative to the coronation of dif-
lerent Kings, and of the Emperor Napoleon.
The Presse, in its weekly commercial bulletin,
Says :

" The comm'rcial accounts of this week are not less
satisfactory than were those of the preceding one. The
activity in industrial affairs, and the well-maintained
improvement in the public funds, have tended to excite
the most sanguine hopes among our mercantile and
manufacturing interests for the winter season. Extra-
ordinary activity prevails in the manufactories of Pari,,
where f,tri are even entertain,d that they will not be able
to supply sit the articles wanted for winter sale. Good
workmen have become so scarce that en increase of
wat:rs has been given in almost all the manufactories."
The mavor of Lisieux having submitted to the
inhabitants*of that town a petition for the Emperor,
the text of which he announces to have been sent
to him by the prefect of the department, the Presse
Says:—

"Boone persons will, perhaps, be tempted to regard
this intervention of the administrative authority as a
singularity, whilst others will blame the mayor for
having revealed this detail. We consider, on the con-
trary, that the prefect and the mayor have acted equally
well, as they have conformed their conduct to prevailing
principles. Frank and avowed interference in the freo
manifestations of the country is one of the principles
which belong to the present Government, and which
distinguishes it from preceding ones. This principle was
set forth for the first time, and with great clearness, by
M. de Moray, then Minister of the Interior, in the case
of the elections for the Legislative body. The Mayor
of Lisieux has, therefore, nothing to dissemble, because
the prefect of the Calvados has dune nothing isolated."
An official reception took place on Saturday even-
ing at St. Cloud, at which were present General
St. Arnaud, MM. Fould, Abuttcci, and Bineau, and a
great Lumber of senators, deputies, and councillors of
state. The Prince President, whose health appears
to have been improved by his journey, conversed
With a number of the persons present.
On Sunday, Mr. Honey, the secretary of' the Great
Industrial Exhibition to be held at Dublin, had the
honour to be received by the Prince President at
St. Cloud. The Prince at once entered on the sub-
ject, with which he appeared to be perfectly familiar,
regretting that he had not been able to meet Mr.
Keogh with Mr. Honey on the occasion of their visit,
which happened just as he was on the eve of setting
out on his tour to the south. Without hesitation the
Prince acceded to Mr. Honey's request to send over
some choice specimens of the famous Sevres porcelain,
with other objects of rare excellence in the French
departments of manufactures from the national esta-
blishments of Beauvais, Gobelins, &c., under the care
of his Highness's own agents, and at his own cost.
The conversation, which was of some length, turned
altogether on matters practically connected with the
coming Exhibition, for the success of which the Prince
cordially manifested his best wishes.
The Siecle has the following on the French in-
tervention in Italy :

" Far from us be the idea of reviving, in any way, the
Polemic to which the expedition to Rmne gave rise. We
must be allowed, however, to call to mind that the Go-
vernment of the President of the Republic declare I in
.1849 that it sent an army into Central Italy, in order to
prevent that part of the Peninsula from falling under the
exclusive inflaence of Austria. A personal act of the
Chief of the Government of that time—the letter to
Colonel Edgard Ney—afterwards proved the decided
intention of causing to predominate in the Roman States
principles which are not, so far as we know, those of
Austria. Events mey have caused the Presidential
Policy to deviate from the object to which it was
directed ; but, until we have proof to the contrary.
We have a right to think that there has not been
accompliehed at Rome what it was wished to ac-
complish there in the name of France. The Aus-
trians and the Ilan:montane party do not deceive
themselves on this point, and while) affecting to feel
Rratitude for the re -•establishment of the temporal power
of the Pope, and unlimited confidence in the French
Government, they take the most active measures to ex-
clude French influence. Parma and the Duchy of Mo-
dena no longer enjey any real independence; it will soon
be the same with Tuscany and Lucca, which have ordt
formed one State since the death of Maria Louise. So
far as regards Tuscany, the thing is clear from one of
the clauses of the commercial league concluded with
Aurtria, and which will be carried into activity at the
first favourable opportunity. The Port of Leghorn,
which is re ba enlarged and fortified, will bee me the
:
commercial a,,d military port of the Customs' League,
.sand
garrison nd Austria will keep up a permanent
there.
This is not all: the Austrians will be charged to
the coast from the Piednaontese to the Roman guard
hffrontier.the
Is this clear? It is, however, on the ascendancy
clergy that reaction relies the most; every endeavour is
Concordat with
therefore made to abolish indirectly, at least,in
she Leopoldiee laws by means of a new
'Rome. However reactionary they may be, the pre.
sent Tuscany ministare, being accused of Jusephism by
their opponents, must before long give place to others.
The Archdukes of Austria, of a hundred years ago, are
now found to be revolutionists, and we do not
complain
of it, since it is always against their own exaggeration
that reactions are wrecked. In order to again give the
ascendency to religion, we think there is but one means,
and that is to strengthen morality by the example of disin-
terestedness, simplicity, and indifference to the things of
this world. Others are of opinion, that the more the
clergy become rich and able to unite their action to that
of the civil authorities, the more religion will gain em-
Piro over the minds of the people'. Experience has
already spoken on this point; but since it is again inter-
rogated, it will again pronounce its opinion. The plan
of the reactionista will not, as we have before said, he
complete unless it embraces Piedmont. To obtain by

Madrid advices are dated the 20th.
The Clamor Publico states that the Government
intends to defer the construction of the Northern
Railway until the lines from Madrid to Valencia,
from Barcelona to Madrid, and from Alar to Santan-
der, shall have been completed, from a fear that a
monetary crisis might be produced by the withdrawal
of the capital necessary for the construction of so
many lines at the same time. M. Sanchez Mendoza,
who has obtained the concession for a line from Cadiz
to Xerez, had returned from London, where he had
been to give orders for the materiel necessary for the
construction of the line.

A Madrid letter of the 20th says :—" General Au-
pick, the French Ambassador, since his return from
Bordeaux, has loudly expressed the interest felt by the
Prince President towards Spain, and his warm desire
to strengthen as much as possible the bonds of friend-
ship and good intelligence which now exist between
the two nations and their governments."
