FRANCE.

Under the head of La Politique de la Paix there is a
long article in the Pays, by M. de La Guerronniere.
The object of the writer is to show that the Emperor
Napoleon is resolved to maintain the peace of Europe, if
it can be done witheut dishonour and humiliation, and
that in the affair of the East this policy of peace has
been pursued by the Emperor with advantageous effect.
This statement is important, for it shows that the
rumours. which have been in circulation of impetuous
movements having manifested themselves here, which it
required all the skill of the English Cabinet to restrain,
were without foundation. Far from seeking to gain a
false popularity for the Emperor, by representing him
as having continually his hand upon the hilt of his
sword, but being kept from drawing it by the Earl of
Aberdeen, the court writer, M. de La Guerronniere,
claims for the Emperor the credit of having constantly
preserved the calm dignity which became him, and with
having pursued the policy of peace. The- Pays con-
tends that this policy was both honourable and wise—
honourable as being imposed by a sense of duty, and
wise as being of a nature either to prevent war, or to
prepare for it in such a way as to be sure of success.
As yet the results appear to warrant the arguments of
the Pays. Had the French Government been rash a
war might have broken out, in which all the efforts to
check the aggression of Russia must have been made by
England and France. Now, if Austria be sincere, the
Emperor Nicholas will either yield to the formidable
coalition that has been formed to compel him to keep
the faith that he had pledged, and to act. more in con-
formity with equity and honour, than he has done in the
question of the East, or blinded by ambition and the
love of conquest, he will rush into a war in which he
would have to contend against united Europe. Such a
war as this would be very different from one in which
the other great powers of Europe should be divided.
The seat of war would be distant from us, and revolu-
tionary movements on the continent would be impossible,
and the enormous display of force against the Emperor
of Russia would necessarily make the war short.
M. Fortoul, the Minister of Public Instruction, on Thurs-
day received the canons of the Imperial Chapel, raised
by the decree of the sth of July to the dignity of Hono-
rary Canons of the same Chapter. The Minister pre-
sented to each of them, in the name of the Emperor,
the cross instituted to connect the reminiscence of that
antique institution to that of the Imperial foundation.
The Minister, at the same time, addressed them in the
following words :
"Gentlemen—The Emperor has done me the honour
to entrust to me the duty of presenting to you the new
cross of the Chapter of St. Denis. It will remind you
better than I can do of the sentiments with which you
ought to be penetrated iu the exercise of your functions.
This cross, like your prayers, is intended to unite the
past to the present. Charged as you are to keep up
pious traditions, let no glory of France find you in-
different • but let each of her grandeurs attach you by a
more lively affection, by a more decided devotedness to
our Emperor, who has preserved from a last shipwreck
all the reminiscences as well as all the benefits of civi-
lisation, and who has saved the past deeds of the country
at the same time that he insured its future happiness."
These words were received with decided approbation,
and the proceeding shortly after terminated.
Several young Wallachians who left, on the entry of
the Russian troops into their principality, to continue
thei- studies in France, have arrived in Paris. It is
stated since their departure, no passports have been
granted to persons wishing to leave Wallachia.
The Moniteur contains the nominations of the Presi-
dents, Vice-Presidents, and Secretaries of the Councils-
General of 1853.

By order of Minister of the Interior, M. L6on Vidal,
head of the first office of the division of penitentiary
establishments, has been named inspector-general of
prisons.

- The Union says, "M. de Falloux, being informed of
the proceedings of the gendarmerie, hastened to write to
the prefect of Ille-et-Vilaine that he was to be found at
the Chateau of Caradeux, the residence [of his father-in-
law. The prefect sent no reply." A Rennes journal
has stated that the enquiries respecting M. de Falloux
by the gendarmerie were made before his arrival there.
This has since been contradicted.

The Courrier du Gard states that out of the indemnity
paid by the Regency of Tripoli to the French Govern-
ment for the ill-usage to which a soldier of the 44th re-
giment of Foot, named Rabbes, was subjected ,in that
country, the Emperor has ordered a sum of 5,000 f. to
be given to the parents of the said soldier, in conse-
quence of their excellent character and narrow circum-
stances. Rabbes had deserted, but was pardoned by
the Emperor in consideration of the sufferings which he
had endured in Tripoli.
