This Change in the political constitution of France
re-
quires according to custom, that the political agents
accredited at Paris, as well as those of his Ma-
jesty the Emperor accredited to foreign Courts,
should receive new letters of credence. I shall,
however, consider it a pleasure until this double
formality shall have been fulfilled, to keep up non.offi-
cially with them relations, in conformity with the good
understanding which exists, and will not cease to exist,
between our two Governments. In fact, if France has
chosen a form of Government more in harmony with her
habits, her traditions, and the place she holds in the
world, if her interests find in a return to monarchy that
guarantee which is wanting to them, there is nothing
which can change her position abroad. The Emperor
recognises and approves all that was recognised and ap-
proved by the President of the Republic during the last
few years. The same hand and the same ideas will con-

tinue to direct the destinies of France, -and the experi-
ence acquired under the most difficult circumstances suf-
ficiently proves that the French Government, jealous of
its own rights, has admitted in the same manner the
rights of others, and that it has attached the greatest
value to contributing to the maintenance of general
peace. It is towards this object that tjie ef-
forts of the Government of the Emperor of the
French will constantly tend ; his Majesty has the
firmest confidence that if his intentions are com-
pletely in accord with those of the other Sovereigns the
peace of the world will be secured. I have no doubt
Monsieur , that the re-establishment of the Im-
perial power in France will be everywhere regarded as a
happy event, because it is a pledge of stability and dura-
tion given to a policy which is quite in harmony with the
interests and the wants of all the powers, and to a policy
which the Emperor proposes particularly to follow in his
relations with the Government of

"Accept, /ie."
Abd-el-Kader arrived in Lyons on Sunday night,
by steamer from Chalons. He was about to proceed
without stopping to Marseilles, but the Salut Public
says, that, at the pressing instances of Marshal
Castella,ne, he consented to pass Monday in Lyons.
It was expected that he would witness a sham fight
on the plain of Grand Camp, and attend a perform-
ance at the theatre.

All the Government journals publish the fail Owing
anecdote ;

Some persons lately spoke in presence of the
Emperor of an article published in an Austrian
journal, and couched in terms not very favourable
to the regime established in France. This article
gave a very incorrect interpretation of the message
addressed to the Senate by his Majesty. " With
the Prince de Schwartzenburg," said the Emperor,
" such misrepresentations were not to be appre-
hended. He and I spoke the same language, and
assuredly he would have better translated the his-
tory of the new empire." _

Advices from Madrid, dated the 10th inst., state
that Government had given to General Narvaez a
mission to go to Vienna, there to study the military
archives of Austria, and to make an official report
thereon. He was allowed 42 hours to prepare for
his departure. The retirement from the Ministry
of Generals Urbino and Ezpeleta was talked of.
It is said, news of a character little satisfactory
had been received from Barcelona.
Lord Howden had returned to Madrid.
