THE FRENCH A.RTILLERT.—The artillery of the French
army, as organized by decree of the 14th of February,
1851, is commanded by 8 generals of division, 17 of
bri-
gade, 48 colonels, 50 lieutenant-colonels, 170 chefs Wesel-
drons, 379 first captains, 317 second captains, 272 first
lieutenants, and 194 second lieutenants. The artillery
is divided into 17 regiments, namely, 4 of 18 batteries
each, 1 of ponlonniers of 16 batteries, 7 mounted regi-
ments of 11 batteries, and 5 regiments of horse of 8
batteries ; in all to 33 batteries.
COMMUNICATION 'WITH SRBASiTOPOL.—The passage
from Sebastopol to Constantinople is made in two days
(or rather less); despatches can be conveyed from Con-
stantinople, via Bucharest, to Croastadt or Hermann-
stadt in 5 or 6 days ; and the telegraph will transmit
the substance of any despatch from either of those places
to London in an hour or two. A very little trouble and
a very slight exertion of intellect would enable Govern-
ment to obtain regular information of any military
movement in the Crimea, in 9 days at the outside. We
say " would enable the Government," for tke Austrian
functionaries of tho electric telegraph often refuse to re-
ceive and transmit the messages of English journals. It
is now the 25th of October, and, for aught the public
know, Government has no news from the Crimea of a
more recent date than the 3d of the month. A. promise
was given some time ago by the War Department that
the news from the seat of war would be regulary com-
municated to tge public without loss of time. Has
Government really no intelligence from the Crimea of a
later date than the 3d of October, when the public jour-
nals have received letters up to the Bth f What is the
date of the despatches brought by Lieut. Kirby on
.the
night of Sunday last ? We urge these questions not for
the sake of what will superciliously be called a mere idle
craving for the latet news, but in the interest of truth,
fair-dealing, and the great cause for which the country
is now at war. The lachesse of our Government in not
exerting itself to procure and eirculate authentic informa-
tion (which the obstructions offered by Austrian officials
prevent private enterprise from transmitting with equal
speed) allows the agents of the enemy and stock-jobbers
to preoccupy and disturb the public mind with the
most agitating rumours.

" The object of my communication, dated the 21st
ult., was to ask of the Austrian Government some mili-
tary and political explariations on the subject of the in-
fluence she would exercise in the principalities after the
occupation. We deemed such explanations necessary ;
and now that we have received them we are in a position
to appreciate how far we can pronounce ourselves at
the Diet in the sense desired by Austria—that is to say,
to recognise that all the eventualities connected with
the occupation of the principalities by Austrian troops,
come under the second article of the treaty of the 20th
of April, and of the Federal esolution of the 24th of
July.
" We were far from supposing that the Austrian Cabi-
net would denaturalise its relations with Turkey and
with the allies of that power ; but we wished to be
enlightened upon the question, to know how Austria
understands those relations, what rights and what ob-
ligations she attributes to herself in virtue of her treaty
with Turkey, a treaty concluded without our concurrence,
and without that of the Confederation ; and what mili-
tary arrangements might have been agreed upon to give
Austria alone the protection of the principalities against
the eventuality of another entrance of the Russian
troops—an eventuality which the declarations of Russia
must make us consider as far distant.
" The surprise expressed in the despatch of Count
Buol, that we should have attached an importance to the
exclusive action of Austria, surprised us in our turn.
We were ignorant that a special claim (titre) was neces-
sary to express the hope that Austria, even should• its
interests in the principalities not be always identical
with those of the Confederation, should endeavour the
more to uphold German interests in proportion as its
influence was greater.
" We shall not allow this confidence of ours to be
shaken by Count Buol's observation, as long as it is not
i►n contradiction with the facts. On the other hand, we
can no longer doubt that the question to know if, and
in what manner, the principalities shall again become
the theatre of hostilities, depends upon military mea-
sures, for the execution of which the guarantee of the
German interests would in no way be taken into ac-
count, and that we cannot consider the consequences
thereof as forming part of the provisions of the 2d
Article of the treaty of alliance.
" This view is by ne means, as the Austrian despatch
seemingly indicates, in contradiction with our anterior
declarations ; conformable to the spirit and to the letter
of the Federal legislatios, as also to the first article of the
treaty of alliance, the only object of those declarations
was the case of an unprovoked attack upon the Austrian
territory.
" We cannot regard as actually founded the fear of
such an attack ; and when the _Austrian circular on this
subject alludes to the march •f the Russian Guards
towards Poland, we will submit to the impartial jadsf-
merit of the very powers at war with Russia the ques-
tion, whether from the fact that Russia in presence •f
hostile forces, partly on her territory and partly threat-
ening her,•hae ordered her troops to her frontiers, the
conclusion can be drawn that she wishes to leave the
defensive position which she has taken to assume the
offensive !

" We do not the less acknowledge the gravity of the
situation ; and his Majesty the King understands to their
full extent the duties which the care of the safety of Ger-
many on the eastern side imposes upon him
against all
eventualities.
" As regards the four known points which were to
form the basis of future peace, the position taken in re-
spect to them by the Government of the King has often
been falsely and unkindly interpreted. Wa supported
them tat St. Petersburg, although, as indicated in my
circular of the 3d September, we did not fully under-
stand, in consequence of their general and indefinite
character, hew they would prove of practical service to
the interests of Germany.
"We did so, because we thought they contained the
seed of future negotiations of peace, having for object
the durable tranquillity of Europe. Even after Russia
had refused the bases, rather, perhaps, from reasons of
form than substance, and without allowing ourselves to
be deterred by the susceptibility shown by Russia at our
first. support, we declared repeatedly that we could but
regret the refusal, as we considered the four points, not,
it is true, as the sole possible basis of peace,
but as con-
taining elements which, sooner or later, would prevail.
" We confidentially communicated that step to the
Cabinets of London and Paris, and we added thereto the
declaration, that if the other powers desire it we could
express ourselves in that sense in a new protocol, but
with the express reserve that, no
more than in the sig-
nature of the preceding protocols, we could net recognise
the contracted obligation of a military co-operation
against Russia. Such are the overtures of the 6th of last
month, of which the Austrian despatch speaks as if they
were in contradiction with the attitnde taken before by
us at the Federal Assembly.
"We totally reject those insinuations ; the objections
which, in a German point of view, appear to us sufficing
not to recommend their obligatory adoption by the Diet,
must not, from the very cause of the elasticity of their
disposition dwelt upon by Austria, prevent us, in a
European point of view, from giving them our moral
support is every case that presents itself, and under con.
ditions to be stipulated by ourselves.
" We attach the more value to the statement that we
wore ready to declare in a formal manner that an errone-
ous opinion prevailed, not only in the public, but even
in the cabinets, which can only be explained by a volun-
tary false interpretation, that Prussia prevented the
meeting of the conference at Vienna. The European
Powers precisely often reproach us with our German
view of things in a manner which leads to the supposi-
tion that, because Prussia upholds that view, she is
wanting in her quality of a great European power. We
voluntarily avoided a discussion on this subject.
" We perfectly understand our rights and our duties
as a great European power, and not only will we fulfil
the latter, but we will defend the former against every
encroachment. Yet we entertain too high an opinion of
the task of Germany, closely, united to her two great
powers, to regard it as a prejudice against our position
as a European power that we consider it one of our first
duties to defend the interests of Germany in the political
complications of the day.
" The Austrian Cabinet, dividing now the four points,
and only recommending the adoption of two of them to
the German Governments, thereby recognises that the
interests of which the German Diet is the organ do not
require the four points as an ensemble, such as was for-
mulated by the exchange of the notes of the Bth of Aug.
No German Government will deny that the free naviga-
tion of the Danube is a German interest, nor that the
question of the preceding protectorate of the Danubian
principalities might receive a solution mere favourable
to the interests of Germany. It can therefore only be
conformable to the views and intentions of Prussia that
it should be expressed in a-suitable form at the Federal
Diet if Austria and our allies think it advisable.
" When, on the other hand, Count Duel, in his con-
fidential circular, supposes that the dignity of the Con-
federation demands that it should assume at once a de-
termined attitude with regard to this European question
and make a declaration which binds it, so as not to
allow its central organ to be accused of complete apathy
and inaction, it is only under reserve that we can join
such a view. On more than one occasion his Majesty the
King has shown that he intends to assure to the German
Confederation a high influence amongst European
States.
" More than once the efforts made in this sense have
been combated and have failed, and recently against the
almost unanimous opposition of Europe in a question
which interested Germany nearer than the Eastern ques-
tion taken in its primitive limits. In the actual corn-
tains his opinion that an honourable and influential

plications of Europe his Majesty the King still main-

VISIT OF THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS 07
THE PRFNCLi TO THE COURT OF ENGLAND.

The Qneen and the Prince Consort, immediately after
keeping the birthday of the Princess Royal at Windscr
Castle, who completes her 14th year on the 21st Nov.,
will proceed with the royal family, as usual at this time of
the year, to the Isle of Wight. The Court will remain at
Osborne until about the middle of Dec. Here, at her
Majesty's marine residence, and about this period, the
Emperor and Empress of the French, it is expected,
will pay their first visit to the British Court. On the
arrival of the illustrious visitors her Majesty and his
Royal Highness will accompany them to Windsor Castle,
where a series of banquets, balls, concerts, lac., on a
scale of magnificence, liberality, and splendour un-
equalled in the present reign will be given.
During the stay of the Imperial visitors at the Castle,
which it is expected will be about six or tight days, the
Emperor will be installed a Knight of the Garter, with
all the pomp and ceremonies incidental on the admission
of a foreign potentate into this most ancient and
honourable fraternity. The three knights who have
also been nominated to fill the vacancies occasioned by
the demise of the Marquis of Anglesea, the Marquis of
Londonderry, and the Duke of Beaufort, namely, the
Earls of Carlisle, Ellesmere, and Eglinton, will also be
installed at the same time. Should the weather admit,
there will be a review of the Royal Horse Guards and
other troops in the neighbourhood of Windsor, but in
the absence of so many regiments which have gone to
the East, and the lateness of the season, there will be
no attempt at any grand military display. We under-
stand that the portion of the Castle occupied by the
King of Prussia, when that Sovereign last visited Eng-
land, will be fitted up not only magnificently, but with
every attention to comfort, for the cypress use of the
Emperor and Empress and suite during their stay at
Windsor.
The insignia of the Emperor of Russia as a Knight
Companion of this most noble and ancient order, con-
sisting of the banner, sword, mantle, and helmet, re-
tains its position over one of the stalls in the Chapel
Royal of St. George ; but it will no doubt be removed
before the Emperor of the French is installed a Knight
Companion of this order. Whether Sir Charles Young,
as Garter King at Arras, will quietly remove the dis-
loyal knight's insignia, or whether, according to ancient
custom as described by Ashmole, they will be thrown
inta the aisle and surped from the chapel by the choris-
ters from beyond the precincts of the castle, is not yet
decided ; but we believe it has been determined to re-
move the insignia of the recreant knight to snake way
for those of her Majesty's illustrious ally the Emperor
Napoleon 111.
