CONDEMNATION OF THE " COITSTI-
TUTIONNEL" BY THE " MONITEUR."

PARIS, FRIDAY MORNING.
The Moniteur of this morning contains the
following highly important article :

" The Constitutionnel of the sth inst. contains,
on a disputed point of foreign affairs, an article
which we should be very sorry to allow to be
thought to emanate from the Government. To
envenom a discussion is not the means to bring
about a solution.

" England and France, who made the war and
the peace together, and who are agreed on all
the great questions of the day in Europe, find
thems9lves divided on one
.of a somewhat small
(asset faible) interest.

"Will the difference be settled by a previous
understanding, or by the Conference? That is
the only thing to be decided. But in any case
we have the firm conviction that the difficulty
will soon be dissipated without falling into the
double error of weakening the English alliance,
and of failing to fulfil contracted engagements."

MARSEILLES, Nov. 5.
Accounts have been received by sea from
Naples to the 3d.

The King came to the capital on the 30th ult.,
and held a Council of Ministers. An envoy had
left for Rome; charged with a mission. He was
expected to return to Gaeta on the Bth.

The French steam frigate Duchayla and an
English steamer were cruising off Naples, and had
exchanged salutes with the forts.

Some of the officers landed and walked about
the city. It is said that those vessels are td re-
main in observation, and are to be successively
relieved by others.

There was a report of the intended publication
of different decrees relative to administrative mat-
ters and to public works.

A-letter from St. Petersburg, in the Presse of
Brussels, says :—" The question of the settlement
of the frontiers of Bessarabia is not considered
here as of a nature to give rise to serious misun-
derstandings. The question of ceding or of hold-
ing Bolgrad is really not important enough to
give rise to the breaking up of alliances ; it is,
however, a favourable opportunity for exciting a
schism between France and England. Our Govern-
ment, I repeat, is decided on executing the con-
ditions imposed by the treaty of Paris, which
are, in fact, neither onerous nor humiliating ;
only, in the accomplishment of its duty, it
displays the slowness which has become pro-
verbial."

A letter from Vienna, in the New JVurtzburg
Gazette, says :—" It is not believed here that
the Congress of Paris will meet on the 15th
November, as was stated some time back. It is
certain that neither Austria, England, nor the
Porte considers the actual moment as opportune.
It is assured that the understanding of France
and Russia on certain points of the question of
the Principalities, such as their future organisa-
tion, the settlement of their frontier, and the
Austrian occupation, was come to some weeks
ago ; and it is added that these States agree per-
fectly on various other political questions."

The Augsburg Gazette has the following from
Cracow of the 2d :—" The prolmagation of the
occupation of the Danubian Principalities and of
the Black Sea by the English has the conse-
quence of causing numerous corps of Russian
troops to stay in Southern Russia, in Podolia,
and Volbynia. Up to the present time not one
of the corps which left the Crimea has appeared
in the interior of Russia or in Poland. The two
divisions of Grenadiers which left the Crimea in
the spring, and which were to have gone to
Moscow for the Coronation, did not arrive there,
but have remained in the south. Political reasons
can alone explain the retention of these large
bodies of troops in the southern provinces.",

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition), in a letter dated yesterday, says :

" For some days past rumours were current of
an amp-reaching modification of the French Cabi-
net ; and the return of M. Billault to Paris was
said to be awaited for that purpose. The discontent
existing in the faubourgs, the destitution among
the working classes—not so much from want of
employment as from the high price of 'all the ne-
cessaries of life—the dissatisfaction among the
manufacturing people, the financial or monetary
crisis, the frequent discovery of seditious placards,
and the aspect of affairs generally at home and
abroad, were all sufficiently legitimate motives of
alarm. The reports of the Prefect of Police, con-
fidentially and directly addressed to the Emperor,
showed that the condition of the people was any-
thing but satisfactory, and that their murmurs were
not unfounded. M. Billault returned to Paris on
Monday evening, and immediately resumed his
functions. A Cabinet Council met yesterday at
Compiegne, and then various questions were brought
before it in the presence of the Emperor, and fully
discussed. One member of the Council spoke at con-
siderable length, and he proved that the sufferings,
and consequent discontent of the Parisian popu-
lation, were to a great extent owing to the finan-
cial measures of the Government ; and that the
discontent of the manufacturers was attributable
to their fear of radical changes in the tariff. The
Council sat for some time, and questions of
foreign interest were also discussed.; but whether
any or what solution of the present difficulty
was to come to I do not know, but the rumours
of partial changes in the Ministry continue to
circulate."

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
(second edition) says :

" If the language of the French Ministerial
presa were to be taken as the view of the Em-
peror, and the majority of his Cabinet, we should
Come to the conclusion that the treaty of Pat is
not worth more than waste paper. No doubt all
this will have an injurious influence on the decisions
of Russia, as regards the execution of certain arti-
cles of the peace contracts which that Power en-
tered into. I still believe, however, that the
Parisian Ministerial press does not convey- the
foreign policy of the Emperor at this critical .1.110-
ment. I have observed on -various occasions that
until Imperial displeasure has been expressed false
views on more than ono subject have been pub-
lished in language which did not in any way prove
the policy the French Governinent intended
to adopt. This was the case as regarded the
affairs of Italy and Greece ; and I believe the tone
of certain French newspapers on the disputed
articles of the peace treaty is equally opposed to
the views of the Emperor. At all events his
Majesty, I prem.-tine, must have learned the exact
views of tiara British Cabinet from the Ambassador
at the Court of St. James', who is still at Com-
peigile. I have little doubt events will occur
which will disperse the clouds now hovering in

the political atmosphere. The visitors at Com-
peigne who are now enjoying the Imperial hospi-
tality will disperse on the Bth, and the Court
will reach Paris on the evening of the 9th ;
meanwhile the affairs of State are carried on pre-
c;sely as if the Emperor were at the Tuileries ;
Lord C and M. Brunow being at the palace
of Compiegne, each, no doubt, thoroughly aware
of the intentions of their respective Govern-
ments."
