The Moniteur of yesterday announces that the screw
ship of the line Austerlitz, of 100 guns, left Brest on
Monday for the Baltic, The Hercules, Duguescliu, and
Trident, ships of the line, have left Toulon for the same
destination. The Duperr6 will leave between the 23d
and 25th. The other ships of the line will sail very soon.
Vice-Admiral Parseval-DeschOnes left on Monday for
Brest, where he will assume the command-in-chief of
the 3d squadron, called the "Squadron of the Baltic."

The Union has received an official warning for one o

its articles containing attacks upon England, the friendly
warnings given to it by the Government having been
without effect. This journal seems to have treated the
official warning with as much indifference as the friendly
admonitions which preceded it, for immediately after
the Ministerial notification which it publishes at the head
of its number of yesterday (Tuesday), it gives a com-
mentary on the secret correspondence of the British and
Russian Governments, in which it endeavours to convey
to its readers an impression that the conduct of the
former has not been what the English call "fair and
above board," and above all to excite susceptibility, and
even hostility, by making it appear that England is in-
clined to treat France as an inferior State.
Lord Raglan is expected here on the let of April, or
very soon after, so as to coincide as nearly as possible
with the departure of Marshal St. Arnaud, which is now
fixed for the sth, as that of Prince Napoleon is for the
15th. The division of the Prince, which was originally
termed the reserve,.is now spoken of in the official organ
of the army as the third division. We are assured on
good authority that it has been decided that 3,000 Bri-
tish troops, consisting of cavalry and artillery, viz.—.
2,000 of the former and 1,000 of the latter, will pass
through France, to embark at Toulon or Marseilles, and
that the first detachment is expected in Paris in a week
or 10 days from the present date.
An Imperial decision of the 15th gives the title of
third division of the Eastern army to the corps placed
under the command of Prince Napoleon, which had
been at first' denominated a corps of reserve. It is to
consist of two brigades. The first, commanded by Gen.
Count de Monet, is to ,be composed of the 19th batta-
lion of Chasseurs de Vincennes, the 2d regiment of
Zouaves, and the 3d'regitnent of Marines. The second
brigade, commanded by General Thomas, is to be
formed of the 20th and 22d regiments of light infantry,
two mounted batteries of artillery, a company of engi-
neers, and a detachment of gendarmes.
It appears that a majority of the commission named
to report on the proposition of the Attorney-General to
prosecute M. de Montalembert, for the publication of
his third letter, and which has been considered as insult-
ing to the Chamber, are opposed to that prosecution, so
that the affair will most likely terminate there.
All the securities experienced yesterday a considera-
ble fall, in consequence of the decline of English Consols.
