LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

FRAN CE.

It is asserted that the Minister of War, in the
course of a conversation with the President of the
Chamber of Commerce of Nantes, touched upon
the Oriental question, and said, " We are not bent
upon making war ; but if the Emperor, to whom
the honour of his Government is dearer than all,
should think that the national honour exacts a war,
he will certainly not recoil from the necessity."
The opinions of the Paris journals on the second
circular note of Count Nesselrode will excite some
interest, for by them some persons may expect to
ascertain to a certain extent the effect that the
note has produced on the public generally. It
would be difficult, however, to come to an accurate
conclusion from the materials that are furnished for
the formation of a judgment. According to the
Siecle and the Presse, this second note is
at once insolent and impertinent, and can
only excite indignation and lead to something
more positive than remonstrances. As regards
the view taken of this note by the French Go-
vernment, we have nothing to assist us but the
remarks of the Constitutionnel, and we do not
know how far it represents the opinion of the
Cabinet. The Pays abstains from comment.
It says :—" We confine ourselves to publishing this
document ; its very importance imposes on us a
reserve which does not permit us to make any com-
ment on it to-day." The Debats also gives the
document without comment. The Assemblee.Na-
tionale takes a very different view of the circular
note from that of the Presse and the Siecle. It re-
gards it as having a pacific tendency.
The Emperor and Empress went on Saturday
evening to the camp of Satory, where the 2d divi-
sion of the army of Paris has now taken up its
quarters, under the command of General Renault.
The Duke and the Duchess of Albe were in their
Majesties' carriage, which was accompanied by the
Grand-Marshal of the Palace and the aides-de-
camp on service. The imperial carriages went at a
walking pace in front of the camp, and his Majesty
was pleased to question several soldiers as to the
manner in which they were lodged. The Emperor
examined with great attention the two batteries of
the camp, the cannons of which have been cast on
the model of which he is the inventor, and which
is now about to be adopted for the whole of the
artillery.

The Paris correspondent of the Independance of
Brussels states that the Emperor will leave St.
Cloud for the Pyrenees on the 20th inst.
The Itloniteur announces that on account of the
services rendered by General Poncelot, as member
of the French Commission at the Exhibition at
London, he has been promoted to the grade of
Grand Officer in the Legion of Honour.
The Minister of Marine still continues his in'
spection of the naval establishments at Brest, meet-
ing everywhere with the most enthusiastic recep-
tion.

Prince Napoleon returned to Paris on Monday
evening, having passed three weeks at the camp at
Helfaut.
From further inquiries made by the authorities,
it appears that the parties accused of participation
in the conspiracy to assassinate the Emperor at the
Opera Comique were also concerned in the affair at
the Hippodrome.
A considerable decline occurred yesterday in the
prices of the public securities, with a tendency
towards a still further downward movement when
business terminated. The following were the final
quotations :—For money, Three per Cents., 76f.
70c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., ditto, 101 f. 60c.;

there is again no change to report, being still at
660 f. In shares of the Societe Mobiliere a decline
of 12f. occurred, being finally quoted at 750 f. 50c.
The Railway Share Market was also unfavoura-
bly influenced by the posture of political events,
and a general decline resulted. Closing prices :
Northern, 850 f. 50c. ; Paris and Orleans, 1,070 f. ;
Paris and Strasbourg, 890 f. ; Paris and Lyons,
895 f.; Paris and Rouen, 1,040 f. 50c.; Lyons to the

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, dated the
kith, says :—" Official accounts from Vienna an-
nounce that a corps d'armee will be formed near
Peterwarden for the security of the frontiers,
although the conviction that peace will be main-
tained continues."
A telegraphic dispatch from Brest states that the
Minister of Marine had visited the various fortifi-
cations of the port, the victualling depots, the bake
houses for the navy, and the barracks of seamen.
His Excellency was everywhere received by the
seamen with cries of " Vive l'Empereur Vive le
Ministre I"
The National Gazette of Berlin contains a letter
from Jassy of June 27, which states that the Divan
of Moldavia had met and come to the determina-
tion to send an address of devotedness to the Em-
peror Nicholas.
A letter from St. Petersburgh of July 2, in the
Tlamburgh News, says :—" The Emperor has sent
to Moscow, the Minister of Finance, who is re-
placed by the privy councillor Norow. It is stated
that the mediation of Austria has neither been
accepted nor proposed."
A letter from Vienna of the Bth, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" The accounts from Servia are
disquieting. There is great agitation there fomented
by the agents of Russia. It is even thought here
that Servia will be occupied by Russian troops."
A letter from Besika Bay, dated the 27th ult.,
in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" The officers of the
French fleet have received orders not to absent
themselves on visits to the mines of Troy, as the
order to pass the Dardanelles may arrive from one
rao-i-?ut to another."
A letter from Kalisch, dated the Gth, in the
Lloyd's of Vienna, says :—"Field-Marshal Paskie-
witch has returned to Warsaw. General Panintine
and the Engineer Schilder will shortly follow.
There is no doubt that their visit to Iwangorod
was connected with armaments which have been
orde7ed. On Sunday next the manifesto of the
Emperor of Russia will be publicly read in all the
churches of the kingdom, and also to the troops."
The Independance of Brussels gives the follow-
ing summary of news from Constantinople to the
27th ult. received by it :—" As soon as the Porte
received from the Hospodars at Moldavia and
Wallachia themselves, the notification transmitted
to them by the Russian Government of the ap-
proaching invasion of the principalities, the Grand
Vizir sent one of his principal functionaries to Jassy
and Bucharest to come to an understanding with
the reigning princes on the line of conduct to be
followed. The entry of the Bosphorus during the
night by merchant vessels from the Black Sea has
been inter&cted by the Porte, from the fear of a
surprise ; and a note has been sent to all the lega-
tions to inform them of this measure. There was
also a good deal of talk at Constantinople of the
incident of Smyrna. At the same time as M.
de Bruck sent in a note to demand reparation
within twenty-four hours for the murder of
an officer of the Austrian navy, the Governor
of Smyrna forwarded a very energetic report
against the conduct of the Austrian Consul, as
the cause of all the troubles. The Governor of
Smyrna declares that if the consul be maintained
in his post, he will resign. Our Constantinople
correspondent does not tell us what reply has yet
been made to the demands of M. de Bruck ; but,
according to our correspondence from Vienna, the
Divan has commenced by dismissing the Governor
of Smyrna. The Porte has at this moment suffi-
cient embarrassments on its hands without this
new complication."
Letters from Constantinople state that the French
officers on board the fleet at the Dardanelles had re-
ceived orders not to go to any distance from their
ships, as the order for entering was expected from
one day to another. The entry of the Bosphorus
during the night had been interdicted by the Porte
to merchant ships coming from the Black Sea, for
fear of a surprise ; and a note had been communi-
cated to the different Legations announcing the
adoption of that precautionarymeasure. So soon as
the Porte had learned directly from the Hospodars
of Moldavia and Wallachia of the notice given them
by the Russian Government of the approaching
invasion of the Principalities, the Grand Vizier
sent to Jassy and to Bucharest one of his principal
functionaries to come to an understanding with the
two Princes as to the conduct they were to observe.
The only three circumstances connected with the
. Russian invasion which it necessary at present mention, are-1. The Russians have taken the
Moldavian and Wallachian post-offices under their
supreme control. This is of course to prevent any
account of their iniquito us proceedings and exactions
finding their way into the world. 2. A solemn
service is to be performed in the camp in the neigh-
bourhood of Warsaw, and the Almighty implored
to protect the " Orthodox Faith " against the in-
fidel. 3. For the moment, not more than 25,000
men will enter the Pnncipali ti es. Prince Paskieviteli has returned to Warsaw. The hotel of the Russian
Minister at Vienna was formally belea,aured on the
Bth. The Lloyd says that, at
a.m.,'20 carriages
were in waiting. The Earl of Westmoreland was
one of the visitors.
The Prussian Gazette contains a letter from
Vienna of the Bth, which says :—" We understand
that the Porte intends publishing a manifesto in
