minded M. Thouvenel that the moment the said
article appeared hi the loglio di Verona, the Court
of Vienna had spontaneously given explanations to
that effect ; and that the French Government had.
accepted these explanations as perfectly satisfactory.
The gratuitous attack of Prince Napoleon having
been made in public, Prince Metternich insisted or,
its being disavowed in the same public manner—
leaving to the judgment of the Imperial Govern-
ment the choice of the best means of doing so.
M. Thouvenel replied the same day to Prince
Metternich. He said that he had lost no time in sub-
mitting the Prince's note to the Emperor ; and that
his Majesty, while appreciating the feeling which
guided Prince Metternich on this occasion, instructed
him to point out in important distinction in his re-
ply. Ills distinction referred to the connection it
has sought to establish between the speech of a
simple senator, though that senator may be a Prince
of the blood, and the responsibility of the French
Government. M. Thouvenel ob.-erred that lie should
in a separate note enter more fully into this part of
the question, but in the meantime ho declared to
Prince Metternich that the French Government
would seize the earliest opportunity that presented
itself dui ing the debate on the Address to give to
the unalterable relations of friendship existing be-
tween France and Austria their real significance.

Three days afterwards, namely, on the 26th, M._
Thouvenel addressed a second note to Prince Met-
ternich. Referring to his note of the 23d, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs observed that on con-
stitutional grounds the speech delivered by Prince
Napoleon in the Senate on the 22d did not express
and could not express any other opinions than the
personal opinions of the Senator. Consequently,
anything that Senator said did not and could
not attach responsibility to the Government, that
responsibility solely and exclusively resulting
from the official acts of the Government, of which
the only organs in both Chambers were the Minis-
ters without portfolio, or the commissioners espe-
cially delegated to take part in the debates of the
French Parliament. M.Thouvenel, moreover, added
that, in fulfilment of the promise he had given in
his note of the 23d, M. Billault, Minister without
portfolio, had received the Emperor's orders to re-
establish the truth of the facts in presence of the
Senate; and otherwise to remove by frank and cor-
dial explanations all traces of the unpleasant im-
pression which the incident itself might have pro-
duced at the Court of Vienna.

On the following day, the 27th (Thursday last),
Prince Matternich addressed a final note to M.
Thouvenel, in which, after admitting the frankness
and friendly feeling of the Imperial Government
towards Austria in this matter, he declared that he
considered the point settled to the common satisfac-
tion of both Governments.
I may add that immediately on the delivery of
Prince Metternich's first note to M. Thouvenel the
matter was brought before the Council of Ministers,
and it was then and there decided that M. Thillault
should, on the first favoura4accasion, give in the
Senate the explanations to whit 11 I have referred.
You may not have forgotten the rather latitudi-
narian doctrines enunciated on the same occasion by
Prince Napoleon on hereditary rights, which so far
as one could understand him belonged to the man
who took the lead "in the progress of the ideas of
the age." These doctrines, though perhaps regarded
with favour by many of the revolutionary leaden:
of 1848, are opposed to the principle established
by the Imperial Constitution. These doctrines,
which were noticed a day or two afterwards by
the Marquis de Boissy as " displaying the banner
of the younger branch against the elder" produced,
as it was natural they should, a deep and most
painful impression at Court ; so much so that it
was resolved Price Napoleon should lose no time
in destroying the effect his words produced either
by altogether retracting them, or explaining them
away by announcing his absolute adhesion to the
fundamental law of the Empire which establishes
the right of succession to the Crown of France in
the direct issue of the Emperor. The Marquis de
Boissy unwittingly offered, in his remarks on Prince
Napoleon's speech, the opportunity sought for; and
the Prince availed himself of it by declaring his
affection for his ensin,--his ikvotedness to the Go-
vernment as by law established, and his unalterable
fidelity to his dynasty, and especially to the Prince
Imperial.

WEEKLY PROGRESS OF THE IN7ER-
NATIONAL EXHIBITION.

Now that her Majesty's Commissioners are in
possession of the building, the arrangements for the
reception and disposal of goods are those which
occupy most attention, and the advancement of the
building itself, or rather of that portion of it which
remains unfinished, is not so much heeded. From
the eastern dome all the external scaffolding has
been removed, and the huge erection stands out,
with its entire outline, in relief against the sky; the
glazing of it is not quite completed. Internally
Mr. Crace has commenced the decoration of it, but
the forest of scaffold prevents the progress of the
work from being observed from below. He has in
the meanwhile completed his task in the eastern
half of the nave and in the two southern transepts
above the gallery line. The ribs of the eastern por-
tion of the nave bear at the tops the names of the
different parts of the United Kingdom, and of the
colonies and dependencies ; those of the south-
eastern transept the names of the principal manu-
facturing towns in England, Ireland, and Scotland.
The western annexe presents at present an ap-
pearance of some confusion ; the steam-pipes are
' being laid and the shafting erected for the machinery.
The eastern annexe also is backward, as might haver
been expected from the late date at which it was
commenced. There is no doubt that these build-
ings will be ready very
goods,
whic ihn the
meanwhile the storing of
beginning to come into the building, is a mat-
ter of some difficulty. Exhibitors, however, are
warned that this must not be allowed to form

The arrangements for the disposal of the large
ornamental objects in the nave are now complete.
Just opposite the eastern dais, looking up the nave,
is a handsome obelisk, exhibited by tioieenAsoCifahereeesterwoprihniges

Doke% and Messrs. Elkington, and a trophy of
furs from Messrs. Nicholay, of Oxford-street. A.
• very beatiful obelisk of grey granite, with ornaments
in gold, 30 feet high, and sent by the Ross of Mull
Granite Company, will form a striking object near
the centre of the building. In the great passage 50
feet wide, which runs transversely across the build-
ing from the centre entrance, will be other objects
distinguished for decoration and superiority of ar-
rangement, the; whole interspersed with pieces of
sculpture, vases, &c. The south-eastern transept
will contain two trophies of steel, one by Messrs.
Bessemer, and one by Messrs. Naylor and Vickers,
of Sheffield, besides a large collection of ornamental
iron-work from the Coalbrookdale Company, and a
beautiful screen, manufactured by Mr. Skidmore, of
Coventry, and ultimately to be erected in Hereford
Cathedral.
The number of fountains is not so great as in
18M. One by Messrs. Minton, in majolica ware,
36 feet in diameter, will be erected under the west-
ern dome, and another from France under the east-
ern. A small one will probably be placed about
Mr. Bell's obelisk, but besides these, her Majesty's
Commissioners have no information that space for
others will be required.

measures for concentrating all authority and respon-
sibility in one individual, and have appointedro A,l3ar;

THE SUN.

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 3, 1862.

In past days of the Hanoverian dynasty Princes
of WALES and their Royal Fathers have been
almost at daggers drawn, but, generally speaking,
if a Duke Of the blood royal arose in the House of
Peers, anal, the plainest language advocated some
line of public policy, it would be taken for granted
that he was not speaking his personal views merely.
Lei him make what disavowal he might, he would
be supposed to be the herald of the policy be
advocated. All the more would this be the
case if our Parliaments had reverted to the subser-
viency Of TUDOR and STUART days. What then
are we to make of Prince NAPOLEON'S language in
the French Senate ? Does it at all indicate any
near probabilities? Is the French occupation of
Rome to cease within a reasonable time of this

attack upon it ?
The Prince demands in the strongest terms the
withdrawal of the French troops from Rome. He
denounces the temporal power of the POPE as the
source of untold calamities, and cites the language
of the First NAPOLEON as an argument to the Third.
The First NAPOLEON' in good round terms, de-
nounced the interference of the clergy in secular
politics; and dated the decline of Italy from the
day when priests got into their hands the manage-
ment of the army, finance, and police ; he held that
the secular power of the PONTIFF often tempted
33 Ira to use his influence in heavenly
i matters
the service of his earthly pretensions, That
such is the course of the Pores noisy ultran3on-
tanes, from Ireland and a Longford election, to
