IMPORTANT NOTE IN THE
MONITEUR.
PARIS, MONDAY MORNING.
The following important note appears in th•
Monitcur of this day :
"Peace having been concluded, the first care of
the Congress of Paris was to insure the duration
of it.

" With this object the Plenipotentiaries inves-
tigated the elements of disturbance that still ex-
isted in Europe ; and they especially directed
their attention to the condition of Italy, Greece,
and Belgium.

" The Court of Naples, alone, has haughtily re-
jected the advice of France and England, though
offered in the most friendly manner. The mea-
sures of rigour and coercion adopted for a long
time past, as the means of administration by the
Government of the Two Sicilies, agitate Italy and
compromise the continuance of order in Europe.
Under a conviction of the dangers of such a state
of things, France and England had hoped to ob-
viate them by prudent advice given at an oppor•
tune time. This advice was misunderstood ; and
the Government of the Two Sicilies, closing its
eyes to all evidence, resolved to persist iu its fatal
course.

"The ill reception accorded to legitimate ob-
servations—an insulting doubt thrown over the
purity of our intentions—offensive language op•
posed to salutary counsels, and finally an obsti-
nate refusal—could not allow the longer conti-
nuance of amicable relations.
"This suspension of official intercourse in no
sense constitutes any intervention in internal
affairs, and still less any act of hostility. Never-
theless the security of the subjects of the two
Governments being possibly compromised, th•
latter, to provide against such a contingency,
have combined their squadrons ; but they did
not send their ships into the Neapolitan waters,
in order not to give room for erroneous interpre-
tations. This simple measure of eventual pro-
tection, which has no character of menace, can-
not, moreover, be considered as any support or
encouragement offered to those who seek to shako
the throne of the King of the Two Sicilies."

FRANCE.
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.
The Emperor and Empress left at 2 o'clock for
Compiegne.
Lord John Russell and Mr. Gladstone are now
in Paris.

The (3o- urrier de Marseille of yesterday says :
"The Bastia, steamer, which arrived here from
Ajaccio la3t (Thursday) evening, states that the
order for sailing was brought to Admiral Dundas,
on the 14th, by a steamer from Marseilles, alai
that the English fleet left on the following day,
two of the steamers early in the morning, and the
remainder of the squadron in the afternoon. Their
destination was not known at Ajaccio. Before his
departure Admiral Dundas received a visit from the
Intendant-General of Sassari (Island of Sardinia)."
" Whilst the French and foreign journals," says
the Toulonnais of the 16th, " are going through a
variety of evolutions for the purpose of informing
their readers of the affairs of Naples, of which
they evidently know nothing, the Mediterranean
squadron, commanded by Admiral Trehouart, re-
mains quietly in our port. Nothing whatever as
yet indicates that it is about to weigh anchor, and
we can affirm that the most complete inactivity
prevails both in the roadstead and in the port."
