THE PREPARATIONS OF FRANCE.—The Fee
correspondent of the Independance Belge, writing 011,70{
23d, says :—" No mystery prevails here on the subject
the preparations of all kinds which are being made to 131;;;
vent the Government from being taken at a disadvaoaof -
should a war break out. We are told of the despatch to
several hundreds of pieces of artillery from the south a
Strasburg. Gunboats (in frame it is to be supposed) 11114
also been forwarded by railways to an unacknowledfigea
destination. Very great activity pervades the Marine -vt,";
partment, and all the chiefs of the military service at the
various ports attend theldinistry to receive their orders. -
is also reported to-day that a squadron may possiblybocte;
spatched to the Baltic as a squadron of observation, °V °„-f
without any declaration of war, but that may be but on° "a.
the rumours to which little importance should bo attaolie
Neither do I think we should attach much weight to
statement that England and Russia would raise object{o
to the employment of a French squadron in the Baltic
the event of war. It appears evident to me that after; II
ing agreed with France on the subject matter out of scl.l.citi
a conflict may arise, they would not seek to quibble W.'
her as to the means of bringing it to a speedy terminati°
