LATEST FOREIGN NEWS

FRANCE.

We believe we may say with truth, that the
news given by the Moniteur of the acceptance of
the proposition of the conference of Vienna by the
Emperor of Russia, has produced a feeling of sal is-
faction in the minds of at least four-fifths of the
population of France. Some fear has, indeed, been
expressed that this result has not been obtained
without a certain sacrifice of dignity, and the point
on which it is supposed that this sacrifice has been
made is the question of the Principalities, so un-
justly invaded by Russia. It is thought that no
direct stipulation oiA this point has been made in
the propositions submitted to the Emperor of
Russia, and this omission is regarded as a departure
from the policy which should have distinguished
the Governments of Great Britain."' and France.
It is, perhaps, true that the immediate eva-
cuation of the Principalities was not laid down
in explicit terms as the sine qua non of negotiation,
but it is evident that it was so understood. The
Emperor of Russia had declared, in the most direct
and positive terms, that on obtaining satisfaction
from the Porte, his troops should be immediately
withdrawn from the territories they have invaded.
The moment, therefore, that the Emperor of
Russia accepts the arrangement proposed by the
four Powers, the satisfaction that he called for has
been given, and the evacuation of the Principalities
follows as a matter of course.

The Emperor, accompanied by the Minister of
State, visited on Tuesday at four o'clock ou horse-
back the works in the Bois de Boulogne. M. Vare,
landscape-gardener, and M. Hittorff, the architect
under whose superintendence the works are going
on, were in attendance, and went round with his
Majesty. On the news of the Emperor's arrival
being known, a great crowd collected from all parts
of the wood, and mingling with the workmen, stood
round whilst his Majesty listened to the explana-
tions of what was going on, and gave directions as
to the future progress of the works. His Majesty
was greeted with loud acclamations, both on his
arrival and his departure. After staying about an
hour, he returned to St. Cloud. Just before he
left, he gave M. Vare 2,000 f. for the workmen.
The Emperor has sent 10,000 f. and the Empress
5,000 f. to the Prefect of the Doubs, for the relief
of the sufferers from the recent terrible fire at
Frasne.

A grand review by the Emperor will take place
on Sunday, the 14th, of all the national guards and
the troops of the Ist division, who will be drawn up
in the Champs Elysees, on the Place de la Con-
corde, in the garden and the court of the Tuileries,
and on the Place du Carrousel. His Majesty will
arrive at the Arc-de-Triomphe de rEtoile at one
o'clock.

The Bulletin de Paris states that the Emperor is
about to visit the camp at Helfaut. The municipal
authorities of Lille and other places, through which
he will have to pass, have already taken measures
for his reception. At Lille they are on an exten-
sive scale. His Majesty is to enter the town on
horseback, is to be received by the authorities, and
is to be conducted with great pomp to the Prefec-
ture. Two triumphal arches are to be erected in
the line of procession, and all the houses are to be
decorated. It is not known whether the Empress
will accompany his Majesty. The Liberte of Lille
of Tuesday says :—" We are assured that the offi-
cial news of the precise period of the Emperor's
arrival reached the Prefecture this morning."
The Moniteur says :—" M. Salir, a merchant at
Calcutta, and formerly Enseigne de Vaisseau, but
whose career in the navy was stopped by his de-
votedness to the Imperial cause, has been promoted
to the rank of officer in the Legion of Honour."
M. Drouyn de Lhuys, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
has been promoted to the dignity of grand cross in
the Legion of Honour. _ .

The -Minister of War has addressed a circular to
the generals commanding divisions, pointing out
the measures to be adopted by them for the cele-
bration of the fete Napoleon. The circular also
orders that soldiers under confinement for simple
breaches of discipline shall be set at liberty on the
occasion.

The Minister of State has published a notice in
the Moniteur that no tickets are issued for the
approaching fete, there being no reserved places on
that day.
M. Baze, ex-questor of the late Legislative As-
sembly of France, has written a letter to the Incle-
pendance of Brussels, in reference to the permis-
sion, lately obtained for him from the Emperor by
Jasmin the poet, to return to France uncondi-
tionally. M. Baze declares that the narration of
the scene which took place at St. Cloud gave him
the greatest pain. " I thought (says the letter)
that I had made all my friends, and particularly
M. Jasmin, understand how much any solicitation
made on my behalf would annoy me ' • and I was
in hopes that they would for the future confine
-themselves within a reserve which for me was a
right and for them a duty. That has not been the
case. What has just passed obliges me once more
to make a disavowal, the motive of which will be
easily understood by every man of proper feeling.
The end of the proscription which has fallen on me,
and which in my family affects three generations,
cannot, even in appearance, be the result of a
favour accorded directly or indirectly by any one."
The Bourse yesterday had a dull aspect, and
Rentes hardly maintained the quotations of Tues-
day. The Three per Cents. for cash have advanced
5c., but for the account they have fallen 10c. The
Four and a Half per Cents. for both cash and the
account have just sustained previous quotations.
No change has taken place in the value of Bank
Stock. At the close of business prices were steady,
at the following quotations :—For cash—Three per
Cents., 79f. 80c. ; Four and a Half per Cents.,
104 f. 40c. For the account—Three per Cents.,
80f. ; Four and a Half per Cents., 104. f. 40c.•
Bank Stock, 2,835 f. There is no change to report
in Credit Foncier shares ; Credit Mobili6re have
given way 10f. They closed thus :—Credit Foncier,
725 f. ; Credit Mobiliere, 857 f. 50c. The Railway
Share-market has been heavy, in sympathy with
the funds, and like ,them, somewhat firm towards
the close. Northerns have declined 2f., Paris and
Orleans 5f., Western of France 7f., Rouen and
Havre 5f., and Bordeaux and Cette lf. ; Lyons to
the Mediterranean unchanged ; Paris and Stras-
bourg have advanced llf., Paris and Lyons 2f.,
and Paris and Rouen 2f. The last prices are :
Northerns, 883 f. ; Paris and Orleans, 1,215 f. ;
Paris and Strasbourg, 967 f. 25c. ; Paris and Lyons,
957 f. • Paris and Rouen, 1,109 f. 50c. ; Lyons to
the Mediterranean, 780 f. ; Western of France,
760 f. 50c. ; Rouen and Havre, 510 f. ; Bordeaux
