THE SUN.
LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1860.

The political confusion consequent on the spirited
declaration. of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S measured
"distrust" of our august Ally is beginning to as.
sume a graver complexion. The affected indiffer-
ence is becoming more and more out of place, and
gives vent in several journals of a semi-official cha-
racter. This is but the beginning of the end, and
the coolness consequent on the truth of our
Foreigti Secretary's declaration May yet break the
back c,f the famous "Treaty of Commerce" before
it get a into working order. England will have
little cause to grieve—and France may drink the
wines she has specially manufactured for English

consl imption
We see by several signs that our neighbours feel
ill at; ease about the turn matters have taken, thanks
to the overreaching policy of the Emperor NAPO-
LEON and the indignant remonstrance of Lord JOHN
RrISSELL stirred up as he has been by the people.
" 'hie Opinion l'ublique contains an article on the
spc 'MI of Lord John Russell and the cessation
not to say the absolute rupture, of the cordial
and erstanding between the French and English
Gov ernments, and the too clever manner in
Ncilicth the Savo y annexation has been effected.
If (;n• is.to bediev,l what one hears about the private
relat ions of that -. journal with official people, and
it be is g' under the special protection of a par-
ticula r
,branch of the Houle DePartment, one
would int,'-21- that it is but the commencement of
a pap(3r 7a...ifare as violent as that which was
susper44 ‘l.,;,\Cpo 'imancl.' some months ago." The
3127,?.. ti re, just published, contains some
interestil
tg, pajt. ici liars with respect to the French
army.: ar It present 12 Preach
marshals.
The lacvr of the 1 I,h )f August, 18.9, limited the
numb er of mar ,;.1113.1.s to Hix in time of peace,
and to. i 2 in fittic of sv.:Jr. Previous to the,
death ..ofloiarsha 1 Mille there were 13 marshals.
Prine4 Jerorn Napoleon figures on the list.
The
ree 1 ast-named are Marshals Regnault
do :Jeal 1 d Angely, M'Mahon, and Neil.
There are 80 generals of division on active service.
