FRANCE.

The English and French Governments are en-
deavouring to induce Spain, Portugal, and the
other secondary States to send an auxiliary con-
tingent of 50,000 men to the East.
Preparations are already making at St. Omer
for the reception of the Emperor when he goes to
take the chief command of the camp of 100,000
men about to be formed in the neighbourhood of
that town. The Hotel de Ville is to be fitted up
as a palace. The Empress and the Court will ac-
company him. It is said that upon that occasion
the new Imperial Guard will figure on the right of
the army. It has been determined that the uni-
form of the guard will be precisely the same as that
of the celebrated Old Guard, with the exception of
the queue, and some other innovations made ne-
cessary by the change of fashion.
The journal La Societe anounces that the 100,000
men who are to be encamped in the department of
the Pas de Calais, will be quartered as follows :-
50,000 or 60,000 round Boulogne, in four camps,
25,000 at Helfaut and St. Omer, and the cavalry
in the villages and towns situate along the roads
nearest the sea coast. Two officers of the Imperial
Household visited a few days ago, accompanied by
the Commander of the Engineers at Boulogne, the
downs behind Honvaut, tose at Vimereux and
Ambeteuse, and the plain extending between the
Mountains of Outreau and. Equihen.
The Moniteur says :—" The Russian authorities
made known, on the 25th ult., to the French con-
sul at Moscow, that his exequatur was withdrawn
from him from that day. The agent charged to
make this communication to M. Soulange-Bodin
declared to him that if he had belonged to the Eng-
lish nation he would have had to quit Moscow
immediately, but that he was at liberty to remain,
if he wished it, on the same conditions as its
natives. In conformity with the intentions of his
Government, M. Soulange-Bodin declined the dif-
ference of treatment which it was thus sought to
establish between the agents of the two allied
Powers, and he left Moscow after having deposited
his archives in the care of the Danish consul in
that city."
We read in the Moniteur

"A. journal has asserted that the Prussian Govern-
ment has demanded explanations from the Cabinet of
Paris respecting the formation of the camp of St. Omer.
No demand of this nature has been addressed by the
Government of the Emperor.
"A foreign newspaper, referring to the diplomatic
difference to which the expulsion of Hellenic subjects
gave rise at Constantinople, state that the English
Cabinet advised the French Government to disavow the
course adopted by its ambassador in Turkey. This as-
Portion is destitute of foundation, 415 we have already

announced, this difference has received a solution alike
1 conformable to the intentions of France, and the rights
of the Porte."

A letter from Marseilles, dated the 12th, states
that the advanced guard, consisting of 1,000 men,
of the division intended for the occupation of
Greece, left Toulon the previous day, and that the
Gth Cuirassiers were in course of embarkation.
