THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

It is reported that five of the French cardinals
will leave Paris on the 27th of April to meet the
Pope, and escort his Holiness into France. He Will
be received at Toulon by several of the Ministers,
whence they will proceed to Avignon, remaining
there one day ; thence to Lyons, stopping there
three days ; from thence they will go to Paris, and
afterwards to Compiegne.
Yesterday the Emperor passed in review on the
Place du Carrousel, the 6th and 9th regiments of
light infantry, the 51st and 56th regiments of the
line, the 7th and 10th artillery, the 7th lancers, and
the 6th and 7th regiments of cuirassiers, all of
which are on the point of quitting Paris or Ver-
sailles for other quarters. The infantry was, drawn
up in the Court of the Tuileries, and the artillery
and cavalry in the Place du Carrousel, the former
facing the iron railing. The Emperor, followed by
a numerous and brilliant staff, made his appearance
at one o'clock, and passed in succession in front of
all the troops. Prince Jerome and his son, Prince
Napoleon, Marshal Magnan, and Generals Carre-
let, Renault, Levasseur, Couraut, and Korte, were
in his Majesty's suite, and amongst-the persons of
distinction present wore Generals M.ahmond-Ben-
Ayet and Reschid, Envoys of the Bey of Tunis, M.
de Persigny, M. Abbatucci, M. dc Morny, &c.
The Emperor after going through the lines re-
turned at full speed, a'nd placed himself in front of

the Pavilion de l'ltorloge. The troops then'passed
before him, and a certain number of crosses and
medals were distributed.

M. Bouquin de la Souohe, a dealer in curiosities,
appeared on Saturday before the Tribunal of Cor-
rectional Police, charged with distributing seditious
publications, with having in his possession prohi-
bited arms, with writing with charcoal on the walls
" Vive Henri V.," and with having in his apart-
ment a copy of verses speaking abusively of the
Emperor and the Empress. The accused having
been surprised at night in the Rue Louis-le-Grand
writing on the wall " Vive Henri V." the police
made a visit to his residence, and discovered the
prohibited articles. He was condemned to time
months imprisonment and 50 fr. fine.
The Independant of St. Omer states , that a camp
for between six and seven thousand troops is about

There was a very heavy decline on the Bourse
yesterday in the prices of all securities. Rentes,

of the depression, which has been of a serious char-
acter. Bank Stock declined sf. ; the Three per
Cents. fell as much as lif. below the closing rates
of yesterday, both for money and the account, and

GERMANY.

A letter from Bremen, of the 12th, in the Ger-

1 man Journal of Frankfort, says :—" The budget
for 1853 has just appeared. The receipts of 1852
have considerably exceeded what was expected ; and
and although, in consequerce of extraordinary pay-
ments, there has been a deficit of 25,000 thalers,
the surplus in hand at the end of 1851 remains at
107,000 thalers."

A letter from Vienna of March 17, in the Cologne
' Gazette, says :—" The Minister of Police has just
put in force the order published, when General
Haynau was attacked in London, against English
travellers in Austria. At that period the Lloyd of
Trieste made remonstrances on the ground that
the line of steamers to Alexandria would be entirely
ruined, being almost wholly dependent on English
travellers. The order was then withdrawn. It is
now certain that the measure will be maintained,
but it will only produce the result of causing Eng-
lish travellers to avoid the Austrian states, and
consequently Trieste. Switzerland and Piedmont
will be the gainers by the measure. The English
have never established themselves in Austria for
mere pleasure ; the persons of that nation residing
there are engineers, and others connected with fac-
tories, railways, and industrial establishments.
Should the Government send them out of the coun-
try, it will do the greatest injury to itself, and trade
would suffer considerably. It is in the capital that
the Anglophobia is most rabid, being nourished by
the hatred of servile journals."—Another letter
from Vienna, in the same journal, says :—" A pro-
position is spoken of, which several governments
are to make.to the Germanic Diet relative to Eng-
lish passports, and to English travellers in general.
This proposition is to be independent of that of
Hesse-Darmstadt relative to refugees. This affair
is to be regulated by a resolution of the Diet obli-
gatory in all the states of the Confederation."
A letter from Hanover states that all the guns
of the ex-German fleet have been purchased by the
Hanoverian government for the artillery.
The Prussian Gazette of the 18th says :—The
centralisation of the high Prussian police, which
has been for some time spoken of, has just been
realised ; the President of the Berlin police has
been invested with the most extended powers. The
Minister of the Interior has just addressed to the
Presidents of the provinces the following rescript :
" Recent circumstances have shown the necessity of
centralising the general police, and establishing more
direct relations between the President of the Police and
the Minister of the Interior. For this purpose, the
affairs of the superior police have been, with the appro-
bation of the king, confided to M. de Hinkelden, Presi-
dent of the Police, under the superior direction of the
Minister of the Interior. From this day M. de Hinkel-
den is authorised by the Minister to issue decrees, and
to adopt measures which all the police authorities of the
kingdom are bound to execute."
A letter from Berlin states that in its sitting of
the 17th, the plenipotentiaries at the Customs'
conference approved without reserve of the acces-
sion of Hanover and of the Steuerverein to the
great association of Northern and Southern Ger-
many.

TURKEY.
Most of the Paris journals of yesterday have
articles on the Eastern question. The Constita-
tionnel says, " There is reason, up to this time, to be-
lieve that there is nothing on the part of Russia but
an idea of intimidatiOn in order to bring the differ-
ent claims to a prompt result, and that on the part
of France the measures adopted are only those of
prudence taken in case any unforeseen incidents
should arise. The-integrity of the Ottoman Em-
pire is in no way called into question ; the discus-
sion remains on the pacific ground of negotiations,
and there is no reason to suppose that ulterior events
may arise out of it.'

The Pays repeats the expression of its belief that
nothing serious will result from the mission of
Prince Menschikoff, and shows that the Emperor
Nicholas cannot, without dishonour, demand from
Turkey concessions and privileges against which
provision has been made by treaty. In concluding
its remarks, the Pact's says :
" The treaty of July_ls, 1840, had precisely for ob-

The 111Oniteur publishes the returns of the re-
ceipts of the customs and indirect taxes for the last
month. They amounted to 9,638,175 fr., being a
decrease on the corresponding month of 1852 of
617,544 fr., and an increase on that of 1851 of
801,152 fr. The receipts of the first two months of
the year amounted to 18,583,722 fr., being 1,959,344
fr. less than in the corresponding period of 1852,
and 1,535,554 fr. more than in 1851.
The Phan of Cherbourg says :—" Great ac-
tivity is being displayed at Lorient in getting her
machinery on board the Jean-Bart steam line-of-
battle ship. It is said that the Emperor and Em-
press in their visit to Brittany in the course of the
summer, are to embark on board the Jean-Bart,
and cruise along the coast, visiting St. Nazaire, and
afterwards Nantes. The steam-power of this ves-
sel is of 450 horses."
A letter from Toulon says :—" Great preparations
are being made here in the Napoleon, which, it is
said, is designated to proceed to Civita-Vecchia to
bring the Pope to France. His Holiness, it is said,
will arrive in May, for the coronation of the Em-
peror."
