FRANCE.

Official people in Paris profess themselves satis-
fied with the Vienna Cabinet, though not with
that of Berlin. The proposition made by England
and France of a Convention guaranteeing the in-
tegrity of the Ottoman empire, Austria; it is said,
agrees to sign, but Prussia refuses.

Marshal de-St. Arnaud, who is still very unwell,
was to leave Paris yesterday, to take up his resi•
dente for a short time in the neighbourhood of
Paris, in the hope that the country air and absence
from business will improve his health. He does
not start for the East until the end of the month.
The Greek General Kalergi who was known in
the constitutional movement of 1842, and who has
passed some mouths in Paris, has left on his return
to Athens. It seems that great hopes were founded
on the relations of amity which, in former times
existed between him and the Emperor Napoleon
towards obtaining the sympathy of France in favour
of his country, perhaps with a, view to the realisa-
tion of the Byzantine Empire. It is certain that
under present circumstances the Greek insurrection
cannot be encouraged ; but the French Government
has impressed on the Porte the absolute necessity
of removing all just ground for disaffection by re-
pressing the abuses and the tyranny of the Turkish
authorities in the provinces ; and will interpose its
good offices to prevent the severe reprisals which
the Turkish Governors may be disposed to make.
The French Budget for 1855 was presented yes-
terday to the Legislative Assembly. The receipts
are estimated at 1,559,914,440 francs ; the expenses
at 1,553,922,075 francs ; leaving an excess of re-
ceipts of 5,992, 365 francs.
General Canrobert was to leave Paris yesterday
evening for Toulon. He expects to arrive at Galli-
poli between the 20th and the 25th with his
division.

The Moniteur publishes a report to the Emperor
from Marshal de St. Arnaud, as Minister of War,
recommending the adoption of the new regulations
prepared for the service of the gendarmerie, the
provisions of the ordonnance of October, 29, 1820,
not being any longer, the Minister declares, in
harmony with the constitutive principles of the
different corps of the army, or even with the in-
stitutions of the Imperial Government. Au Impe-
rial decree follows, of the date of March 1, appro-
ving of the suggestions of the report. The new
regulations consist of not less than 645 articles.
The Moniteur also contains an Imperial decree
ordering chaplains to be named to the various
bodies of troops now proceeding to the East. They
are to be named by the Minister of War, ac-
cording to the wants of the service. A superior
chaplain, charged with the task of centralising the
whole religious service of the French army of the
East, and an assistant chaplain are to be appointed
to the headquarters of the army. A chaplain is to
be attached to each division, and another to each
large moveable hospital. .The superior chaplain is
to receive the pay and allowances of a chef-de-ba-
taillon in the infantry, and the other chaplains
those of a captain of infantry of the second class.
Each chaplain beside, during the expedition, is to
be allowed a horse for his service.

The Minister of Finance has issued an order de-
claring that, in execution of the Imperial decree of
March 11, relative to the loan of 250 millions of
francs (10,000,0001.), the faculty of paying by an-
ticipation with a discount of 4 per cent, can be
