A camp of 25,000 men will afterwards be esta•

Wished in the environs.

The Correspondance Prussienne of tho 16th inst.
publishes an Article directed against the Swiss
press, in which it gives ground for believing that
Prussia will exercise her direct authority over the
Canton of Neuchatel, and that the Government

of Berlin will exact a recognition of its sove.

reignty.

A letter from Frankfurt, in the Debats of Sa

,urday, says it is coufidently rumoured that Aus

,ria is about to contract a now.loan abroad—the

capital to be large, and the conditions offered to

subscribers to be " mast advantageous."

FRANCE.
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

Faithful to its traditions the Assemblee Nationale
favours its readers with another violent polemical
article on English rapacity and general misbehavi-
our. The article is headed, " Let us be the ally but
not the tool of England," and, to give more force
and appearance of truth to what follows, commences
with a formal denial of any desire to disparage
British institutions, or of being possessed of any
feeling of jealousy or party spirit. Sentiments of
sincere admiration are professed for our country,
for its greatness, for the genius which for nearly
two centuries has presided over its destinies, for its
power, patriotism, and political intelligence. But
unfortunately we turn all these to the realising of
one fixed idea, and that is nothing short of the
domination of the entire globe. The A ssemblee
asserts that—

"There does not exist an Englishman who is not
firmly convinced that his country is destined to go-
vern the whole world. In the midst of all our
political changes, of all the double-shuffles and wea-
thercock twists of our home policy, let but the
Foreign-office give the word, and every person, from
one end of the British empire to the other is suddenly
found precisely of the same mind with regard to what
should be done abroad. . . . Never in any opera
have the scenes been more suddenly shifted than bas
British policy—to-day Liberal, to-morrow Absolutist—
now taking the part of nationalities, and now ready to
oppress them—in turn encouraging and interdicting
religious propagandism—bumble to wards the strong,
and insolent towards the weak—the ally of all Powers
and all rebellions, according to the interest of the
year, the day, and of the hour even. Sall, whether
just or unjust, right or wrong, the acts of the Government
as respects foreign nations find a united phalanx to sup-
port them. One might imagine that England had bor-
rowed from the two great rivals of antiquity their dis-
tinctive characteristics. Carthage has bequeathed her
Punic faith, and the oracle written by Virgil on the
cradle of the people's King has been taken for her
motto :

" ' Tu regere imperio populos Romano memento.'

" It is this desire, this thirst of dominion and univer-
sal preponderance which are the causes of the feeling of
union which exists between the people and the Govern-
tent of England ; and, *though there is much in Baku-
itch history which merits eternal condemnation, we can-
not help admiring this harmony which is thus able to
resist all the chances and changes of political life, In-
deed we not only admire it—we would wish to inoculate
Fiance with it."
