FRANCE.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
It is announced that the Prince President will receive
the members of the Legislative Body en habit de vile,
this evening, (Saturday), at St. Cloud.
The Courrier du Nord states that a rumour pre-
vailed at Valenciennes of its being the intention of
Louis Napoleon, after the deliberation of the Senate
on the Empire to make a tour in the Northern de-
Partments, and visit Amiens, Arras, Douai, Lille,
Valenciennes, Cambray, and St. Quentin. The
Progres du Pas de•Calais also mentions the ru-
mour, and even states that preparations to receive
him have been commenced at Amiens.
The Constitutionnel has the following, in reply to
en article in the Times, on the release of Abd-el-
liader
" Nothing is more difficult than to satisfy bad cha-
racters. Thwart them and they are in despair ; grant
what they ask and the result is the same. We have an
old proverb which is applicable to the case, which we
will not repeat, but of which the Times every day
reminds us. The English journal finds a means of
teaming even the liberation of Ahd-el-Ketder. It is
unnecessary for us to call to mind the long and
ridiculous declamations of the English press on the sub-
ject or the detention 01 the Emir; if, therefore, there is a
measure which they ought to applaud, it is the libera-
tion of the prisoner of Atnbeiae. The Times, however,
throws out tire and flames, and discovers in this act of
Lielis Napoleon a fresh perfidy, and an indirect blow
dealt against England. It reminds iti readers with hor-
ror of the words lac Francais which Louis Napoleon,
making use of an expression of his uncle, has applied to
the Mediterranean. That is the explanation of all the
mystery. The coasts of France and Algeria already
represent a great part of the shores of the Mediter-
ranean; French troops occupy the Ilotmn:Ststes; Greece
is a hotbed of French intrigues; Louis Napoleon has
assumed the character of protector of the holy places ,
Egypt is already our vassal, since the Pacha has made
present to the President of three horses' and Louis
Na-
poleon has returned the compliment by a service of Por-
celain.
Nothing, therefore, remains free in the Medi-
terranean but what belongs to Turkey and England
The Machiavelic calculation of the President is this—
.
either Turkey will refuse to take charge of Abd-el-
Kader and that will be an excellent pretext for
taking Constantinople and Asia Minor, in order to
punish the Turkish Government for its' bad feeling—
or Turkey will consent, and Abd-el Nader
will not
fail to escape, and Constantinople and Asia Minor
will be taken, in order to punish Turkey for
watching him so carelessly ; so that in every way Louis
Napoleon is sure of attaining his object, which is, to set
fire to all the nations on the shores of the Mediterranean.
It is not necessary for us to say, that with a man who
h,ss changed Rome, Greece, nefd Egypt into as many
reach Pachalics, and who is with a turn of his hand to
conquer ail Turkey, Malta and the lonian Islands would
stand but little chance. The release of Abd•el-liader is,
therefore a measure directed against England. Why,
we would ask, has the English journal so often called fur
what now so much alarms it? We only mention such

have not the slightest care about tranquillizing the
T,i_ies and the CoArn eye, who believe what it says.
The
.Times is one of those intrepid reasoners which
nothing shakes in its determined contradiction. It re-
quires uothing less than cannon-shots to convince it that
wo wish to labour and prosper in peace, and do not think
tlferit.i Let us, therefore, avow ourselves to be the thun-
-41_78 of wsr and conquerors, since that is the only
ers by which we can live in quiet."

GERMANY.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria has
fully approved of the preparatory labours relative to
the political and commercial question that the Minis-
ter has transmitted to him. The system of customs
unions, as laid down in the memorials of the years
1849 and 1850, will, it is said, be modified, so that
from the lit of January, 1854, the Austrian Govern-
ment will be prepared to enter into a customs union
with all the states that shall be willing to join it.
The latest letters received at Trieste from Alex-
andria make no mention of the English expedition to
the Persian Gulf.
Most of the German States, and amongst them.
Austria, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, the Grand Duchy of
Bad,-n, the two Hesses, Saxony, and flanow-r, have,
in imitation of Prussia, resolved not to sign any pass-
ports fur workmen to go to Switzprland, and, ac-
cording to the Nuremberg Correspondent, they think
of recalling the workmen who are already in that
country. The reason assigned fur these measures. is
to preserve the workmen from the schemes of the
Socialists.
