FR A.NCE.

The Momiteur of to-day (Saturday) announces
that the resignation of M. de Persigny, as Minister
of the Interior, is accepted.
M. de Persigny is named Grand Officer of tbte.
Legion of Honour, and the Emperor has expressed
his regret in a letter to M. de Persigny that lie has
declined to accept the position of a Minister with
out a portfolio.
M. de Billault, President of the Legislative Boat,
succeeds M. de Persigny as Minister of the Interior.
Who M. Billault's successor will be in the Free;
dency of the Legislative Corps is not yet stated
with any degree of certainty.
General d'Hautpoul sets out in eight or ten Jar/
to take the command of the camp of Marseilles.
It is understood the Emperor has promised to pay
him a visit, together with the Empress, in tue
course of the summer or autumn. Should the pr°-
ject of an Imperial visit to the Pyrenees, already
spoken of more than once, be realised, it will, per'
haps, be about the same period.
The negotiators of the Turkish loan have arrived
in Paris ; one of them, M. Durand, visited the
Ottoman Ambassador yesterday. It appears they
have come with full powers to terminate the affair
without the intervention of any other functionary'
The article in the Journal des Debats, a summary
of which appears in another part of The Suit,
it is
created a considerable sensation in Paris, as i,b
taken to express the opinions of the Austrian ""::
vernment, and shows that the Emperor Franc"
Joseph assumes to himself the position of being
the umpire of the affairs of Europe. The serious
portion of the article, however, is that which shop's
that Austria wishes to save the Emperor Niche',
from the just punishment to which he has exposed
himself by his wanton attack on the territories of
an unoffending neighbour, and by the unprincipled
manner in which he has disturbed the peace °f
,
Europe. The construction put upon the artielo
West'
here is, that Austria intends to prevent the We,av
ern Powers from carrying the war into the Russ',lT
territory ; to save the Czar from the loss of t'"
Crimea ; and to force England and France to 0"
pose the Circassians to the vengeance of Russia'
after having induced them to take the field by Pre:
mises of protection and support. It is evident that
if, as has long been suspected, Austria
.means to
adopt this system, it will lead to fresh complicai
tions. The liberty of the Black Sea to the fleets°,
the maritime Powers is not of itself. a sufficient
guarantee to the Western Powers against Russian
ambition, oven though backed, as proposed bY,
Austria, with the freedom of the navigation, ail
the abolition of the protectorate of Russia over the
principalities. These two latter stipulations, bow'
ever important they may be to Germany, will not
insure Turkey against aggression as long as Russia
is in possession of the Crimea.
For some time past the French Government has
shown a disposition to adopt a more liberal system
of commercial policy than existed either during the
period of the Restoration or under Louis Philip Pei
Hitherto, to be sure, its efforts are timid and
the
right effect in a general light, but they are in toe
right direction. The Moniteur of yesterday mot ;
ing gives a fresh instance of this disposition.
r_
suppresses the duty on cotton wool imported into
France from the French colonies. The measure
would be more useful to the French manufacturers,
if it were extended to all cotton of whatever origin,
but still it shows that the disposition of the audio'
rities is to towards gradually relieving the raw 1113"
terials used in manufactures from import
The decree is published without any exposg des
motifs, and simply says :
" On the report of our Minister-Secretary of State
is
the department of the Marine and Colonies, and on ill.
advice of our Minister Secretary of State in the DePart;
ment of Finances, we have decreed and we decree 3
follows : duties.
" Art. 1. The duty of sf. per 100 kilogrammes estap
idled on the importation of cotton wool from the French
colonies is and remains suppressed.
"Art 2. Our Ministers Secretaries of State of the
Departments of Agriculture, &c., are charged with the
execution of the present decree."
