The Duke of Cambridge has left Paris, not for
Marseilles,--as he at first intended, but for Vienna,
by the Strasburg railway. The object of the change
in -his plans is- no- doubt the hope that his presence
at Vienna- may have an effect on the vacillating
councils of the Emperor. It appears that his
royal highness will now embark from Trieste for
Constantinople. The sudden change. n the route
taken by the Duke of Cambridge caused a great
sensation at the Paris Bourse, where it even
created a considerable rise in the funds, and was
made the foundation of an endless variety of
rumours. It was said that within the last
few days a better understanding had been
established between the Western Powers as to
the joint measures to be taken against Russia,
and that the Duke of Cambridge wished to meet
the ?riuce of Prussia at Vienna, where he has,
gone to attend the Emperor's marriage. This meet-
ing, itdoras_ hoped, would produce a good effect,
ead 6eight be the means of influencing the Austrian
Cabinet. All the news, however, which reaches
us from Germany concurs in stating that not only
Prussia, but Austria, continue to maintain the same
reserve which they have hitherto observed. The
alteration iu the Duke of Cambridge's plans must
have been very sudden ; for the Marseilles papers
which arrived in. Paris yesterday state that the
Caradoc had received orders to have her steam up,
in order to sail the moment the duke embarked.

Marshal de St. Arnaud pursues his journey
southward slowly, ou account of the state of his
health. He °lily travels by day, and he has de-
clined the visits of all the authorities of the
towns through which he passed, with the exception
of Marshal de Castellane and the Prefect of Lyons.
The Minister of Marine has appointed several new
chaplains and assistant chaplains in the navy, and
they are about to leave for. their different stations.
'lie general return'of the war materiel for the
year 1852 has just been distributed to the members
of the Senate and of the Legislative Body. It ap-
pears from it that on the 31st December, 1852,
the approximate value of the war materiel amount-
ed to 471,489,740 f., being au increase over 1851 of
11,062,079 f., caused principally by the augmenta-
tion of the artillery.
The ,Sentinelle of Toulon states, that Rear-Ad-
miral Lngeol will take his passage in the Chaptal,
which is about to leave with troops for Gallipoli,
from whence he will proceed to hoist his flag on
board in the Black Sea. He is accompanied by
Captain Lecointe, his flag-captain.
A letter from Algiers states that, a fresh agita-
tion having broken out in Kabylia, General Ran-
don, the governor-general, had sent troops against:
the disaffected tribes, with .orders to the command-
ing officers to act energetically, so as to put down
the rising in its outset. .
The Moniteur says :--cf The Government has
received reports from General Ca,nrobert, :on: the
arrival of the French troops at Gallipoli, arid on
their installation in the environs of that town..
These first accouiits are very -satisfactory. A
Turkish commission, pr6ided over by Ibrahim
Pacha,, had preceded at, Gallipoli the arrival of our
first detachments, in order to make itself ac-
quainted with our necessities, and to satisfy,them
as far, as possible. The General has had much
cause to be satisfied with this intervention. The
Pacha of Adrianople had come at the same time
to Gallipoli to support with his authority the exe-
cution of the measures to bo taken ; thus all the
resources were turned to use, and our soldiers at
their disembarkation received all that was neces-
sary for them. A proportional part of the resources
of the town had been reserved for the English
army. This division has been effected between
them with. the most cordial understanding.
General Canrobert has reconnoitred' all the
Peninsula; he has fixed upon the spots where
the different corps will encamp, and will form
themselves into brigade as they disembark. The
troops will be there in good condition, at the
smallest distance possible, from Gallipoli, and
in localities abounding with water and wood.
The country is very healthy, and the necessities
of the sick have been provided for by the instal-
lation of a temporary hospital at Gallipoli. Loca-
lities have'also been prepared in the town to serve
as magazines, and to receive provisions of all kinds
sent from France for the army. Our installation
has therefore commenced on the best conditions,
and in a short time the first three divisions will be
united in the camp of Gallipoli, with all the materiel
of ai tillery,. engineers, provisions, hospitals, and
encampment destined for the expeditionary corps.
All those immense stores have been embarked from
the shores of France and Algeria, and, without
doubt, the greater portion has by this time arrived
at its destination."
The Memorial of Amiens affirms that a sixth
_squadron is about to be added to all the French
cavalry regiments, which will make. an addition to
that force of 60 squadrons.
The Bourse again rose to-day, in consequence of
the receipt of favourable news from Germany. The
Three per Cents. closed at 63f. 90c. for the end of
the month ; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at
91f.: and the New Loan at 64f. 60c. ; Orleans

"The Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter from Turin,
ascribing- to the Minister of the Emperor of the French
an undue intervention in our private affairs, with re-
gard to, certain laws now before the Legislature.
The falsehood of this assertion needs no proof for those
who are aware of the delicate proceedings of the Imperial
Cabinet of France towards her allies and the personal
character of her Repro entative at our Court. The Sar-
dinian Government, besides, has shown for many years
that it is solely goided by honour, dignity, and the real
interests of the nation, and it is determined not to re-
nounce its mission." -

The Duchess of Parma intends to publish a,ocrene-
ral amnesty in favour of political offenders, and has
appointed a commission to incipire into the re-
sources of the country, and to devise means of re-
ducing the taxes. The father of the late Duke,
on hearing of his death, had left Paris for the pur-
pose of reassuming the Government of the Duchy.
Ile states that he abdicated in favour of his son,
but not in that of his grandson. The wise measures
adopted by the Princess have rendered her so popu-
lar, that it is not probable that the forifier reigning
Duke will succeed in his pretensions.
On the 13th the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess
of Tuscany washed the feet of several indigent old
men and women in the chapel of the Palace Pitti,
and partook of the Lord's supper. The ceremony
was celebrated in presence of the entire Court. The
oldest man was 92 years of age, and the youngest
84.
