FRANCE.

The Emperor also reviewed yesterday, in the
Carrousel, the 6th regiment of infantry, the sth
and 9th battalions of Chasseurs de Vincennes, who
are to form part of the expeditionary army in the
East, and will quit Paris to day for Marseilles ;
the two battalions of Gendarmerie d'Elito, the
regiment of Guides, and the 4th regiment of Chas-
seurs. Those troops were under the orders of
General Levasseur, Commander of the 3rd divi-
sion of the army of Paris. The Emperor, haying
by his side the Duke of Saxe Coburg, and fol-
lowed by a brilliant itat major, in which
figured several German and other foreign officers,
rode in front of the lines, an' afterwards took
his station at the Pavillon de l'Horloge, when
the troops defiled before him, cheering him
with loud cries of Vice Empereur ! The Empress
witnessed the review front the balcony of that
pavilion. An immense concourse of people filled
the place. On the arrival of the Emperor thou-
sands of cries were heard on every side, from
soldiers as well as civilians. Louis Napoleon re-
sponded with much courtesy to the salutations of
the crowd, and he never appeared more pleased
and happy. He entered the palace after the troops
had defiled, and the cheering was still continued
by the soldiers and the people. The Eastern
question has done a great deal for the popularity
of the Emperor. The most complete order pre-
vailed everywhere, and all passed off with the
greatest decorum.
It was reported in Paris on Saturday evening
that Queen Isabella 11. had taken to flight, and
that the republic had been proclaimed at Madrid.
It had also been rumoured that the Duke of Saxe-
Cobourg had undertaken to broach the subject, to
the Emperor, of the re-establishment of the king-
dom of Poland.

It is believed that by the 20th inst. 25,000
French troops will have embarked at Toulon for
Constantinople ; and it is calculated that by the
20th of May the first collision will have taken
place between the auxiliary armies and the Rus-
sians.

The circulation of the Assemblee Nationale has
been prohibited for two mouths, because, in spite
of two warnings, it persists in advocating the anti-
national policy which it has maintained ever since
the commencement of the Oriental question.
The first division of the French expeditionary
army is to embark at Toulon, and at the different
ports of Algeria, on the 20th of March, and to sail
on the same day for the Dardanelles. The second
division will sail on the 15th of April.
The generals who are to command the different
divisions are also preparing to leave Paris for their
respective posts. All of them will be at the dif-
ferent ports of embarkation in time to superintend
the embarking of the troops, with the exception of
the Commander-in-Chief, the Marshal de St. Ar-
naud, and the Prince Napoleon. Marshal de St.
Arnaud will leave Paris, should the state of his
health (which is very precarious) permit him, on
the 15th of March. The Prince Napoleon and his
staff will not leave Paris till the Ist of April. Two
battalions of the Chasseurs de Vincennes will leave
Paris f it the East, at the same time as the Prince
Napoleon.

On Saturday, at ten o'clock, a Council Extraor-
dinary of Ministers was held at the Palace of tho
Tuileries, at which the Emperor presided, and
which, besides the members of the Cabinet, was
attended by M. Baroche and M. Billault. It is
understood that at this Council the instructions,
bot.li military and political, to be given to Marshal
de St. Arnaud, were communicated by the Minis-
ters of War and Foreign Affairs, and agreed to by
the Council.

After the Council the Emperor drove out to the
Avenue from Paris to Versailles, accompanied ipy
the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, to review a body of
cavalry collected there for the purpose. The Em-
peror was dressed in the uniform of a general of
division, and the Duke in a white uniform, with a
silver helinit. The troops reviewed consisted of
the 12th Dragoons, the 9th and 10th Cuirassier,
and the Ist and 2d Carbineers. The fine and sol-
dier-like bearing of these troops appeared to strike
the Duke with admiration. The review lasted
about three-quarters of an hour.
The Russians who have broken up their residence
are in a state of great excitement. It appears that
the Emperor Nicholas has intimated to them that
they will not be permitted to remain in any part of
Europe excepting Russia. They have all been re-
called, and are now preparing to bring themselves
within the jurisdiction of the Czar. The inconve-
nience felt is very great, as many of these person-
ages residedin the different capitals of Europe, not
fur pleasure only, but ou account of their health.
It appears, however, that the measure applies to all
—the highest as well as the lowest, and that an ex-
ception is not made even in favour of princesses.
All the letters from St. Petersburg concur in say-
ing that the Emperor of Russia will not make any
concessions, and that the preparations for war are
on an immense scale.
On Saturday took place the funeral obsequies of
the Baroness Salvage do Faveroles, so remarkable
for her devotedness to Queen Hortense, mother of
the present Emperor of the French, and who had
been appointed by her royal mistress to act as her
testamentary executrix. An imperial carriage ac-
companied the funeral cortege, the Emperor being
represented by Count d'Arjuzon, ono of his cham-
berlains, and Baron de Berkeim, one of his aides-
de-camp. Prince Jerome, Prince Napoleon, and
Prince Murat also sent their aides-de-camp. A
great number of high personages, known for their
attachment to the Bonaparte family, attended on
the ,)ccasion. The body was deposited in a vault
at the cemetery of Mont-Parnasse.
The Bourse was firm on Saturday, without much
business. doing, except in railway shares,. which
were in geed demand.
