" Independent of these three squadrons, and of all ' the
steam frigates or corvettes, collected in the Mediterranean
for the transport of the arpay.of the East, all the naval
stations have • received important reinforcements in the
West -Indian Archipelago, in. the Pacific Ocean, in the
Indo-China seas". and in all the quarters where the deep-
sea fishing is. carried .on.
"The Imperial navy possesses at the present moment on
all the seas 66,000. sailors enkbarked.
" On her side England has equal forces."
The announcement made by the Monitenr yes-
terday of the sailing of the French squadron,.under
the' command of Vice-Admiral Parseval-Deschenes,
for the Gulf of Finland,. came
,quite apropos to
relieve. the impatience of the public, which was
beginning to show some discontent at the apparent
inaction of the forces. The fleet has, however,
now sailed, and a powerful one it is. It may yet
arrive in time to take 'part in. the first operations
of Sir Charlei Napier. •
• The sudden resolution adopted by the Duke of
Cambridge, of proceeding' to Gallipoli by way of
Vienna and Triestel inStead of by the route originally
'determined Upon, continues to bathe subject of vari-
ous comments in Paris. According to some persons
the royal and gallant -Duke had no better reason
for his change of plan than the rather puerile one
of partaking in the pleasureg and gaieties of the
Imperial marriage, which takes 'place at Vienna.
According,to others, he. has been entrusted-with a
mission which may, have an important influence on
the 'position of Europe. It'may be safely takenfor
granted that the young 'and royal general would not
have turned from the direct path to glory for merely
a few days' plea.sure.. Oue thing is certain, that the
. French Government has attached a considerable im-
portance to the dukes visit to the Austrian capi-
tal, by announcing the fact in a telegraphic despatch
addressed by the MiniSter of the Interior to all the
prefects in France: This, with the unaccountably
long stay of the Duke in Paris. (for the Empress's
fete at the Elysee hardly justified the delay) gives
rise to 'the belief that the visit, to Vienna has
more. importance than at first appeared. One. of
.the motives for the . journey, currently stated, .is,
however, not likely to be the correct one. It is said
.that the Western Powers are frightened, both at
the insufficiency of the expeditionary army to re-
gist the progress of Russia, and at the delay which
has taken place in forwarding them, It is feared,
they say, that the troops will not arrive in Turkey
in time to prevent, the advance of the Rus-
sians on Constantinople, but, considering that
they. have yet to pass the Balkan—to say nothing
of several lines of fortifications—this source of dan-
ger does not appear very pressing. But, however
this mar be, the rumour here is that the Duke of
Cambridge is to 'press the subject on the notice of
the Vienna Government, as a reason for its taking
immediate and active steps to prevent the ftirther
progress of the- Russian army in that, direction.
The Marquis de Toulongeon, the Emperor's aide-
de-camp, - who accompanies the duke, is also said
to have been instructed to support the representa-
tions to be made 'by the Duke of Cambridge at
Vienna, with all the weight of the French Govern-
mei:t ; but unfortunately M.- de Toulongeon is
almost as much a novice in diplomacy as the duke
himself, and has not even, the advantage of high
rank, for he is merely one of the Emperor's aides-
de-camp. It
,is therefore probable, although it is
not, likely that the royal duke would have aban-
doned.more important duties for the mere pleasure
of being present at the Emperor's marriage, that
public rumour attaches more importance to the
mission than it deserves ; and this is the more
from 'the fact (if it be correct) that the duke
left Paris without even seeing the Austrian Mi-
nister at this Court, M. de Hubner.
