FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

The panic at the Bourse and the alarm so gene-
rally felt by the public at the present aspect of the
political horizon appear to the Constitutionnel quite
unwarranted. It remarks on the subject in this
wav

" What are the facts ? Let us take the most recent,
which have been made the occasion of so many alarming
anticipations. They are three :—The words addressed by
the Emperor to the Austrian Ambassador on New Year's
Day; the Speech of the King of Piedmont; and the mar-
riage of Prince Napoleon with a princess of the House of
Savoy. Let us seriously examine the real bearings of all
these facts, and see whether they are indeed of a nature to
inspire the apprehensions so generally entertained. The words
of the Emperor ? What do they contain. Only an expres-
sion of regret that the diplomatic relations between France
and Austria are less cordial than they have been, and an
assurance that this disaccord has not in any way changed
the personal sentiments of the sovereigns towards each
other. But these words were so naturally suggested by
the well-known posture of affairs that one cannot but won-
der how they could have ever contributed to widen a breach,
which they were far more calculated to lessen. It was
well known to all Europe that the intercourse between the
two cabinets had assumed a less friendly character, owing
to their different views respecting the execution of the
treaty of Paris. Their differences on some of these
points have been already removed by the natural course
of negotiation. There still remain others of considerable
importance. The question of the navigation of the Danube
is undoubtedly one of great moment, and the Cabinet of
Paris has not yet come to an understanding with the
Cabinet of Vienna on that subject. As to the question
raised by Austria relative to her eventual intervention in
Servia, a question of no little importance, as it involves a
positive violation of the treaty of Paris, it is to be hoped
that as no intervention is now required, Austria will yield
on the point."
On the Piedmontese speech, the writer says :
" The King of Sardinia's language is another cause of
excitement. It expresses the sentiments of Piedmont
with regard to Italy. Could anybody suppose that a
speech delivered at the opening of the Piedmontese
Chambers would not touch upon that subject? What !
could the cessation of all diplomatic intercourse with the
Austrian Court for 18 months, the constant antagonism of
the two nations and governments, the hope cherished in the
inmost heart of every Piedmonteie—could these facts,
thoughts, and feelings—the whole situation, in a word—
be utterly passed over in a speech from the throne ? This
absolute silence would have deceived no one ; il, would
rather have been a cause of alarm. The only question is
whether the speech exceeded the limits imposed by the
dignity of the monarch and the sentiments of his people.
No one will maintain that it did."
The last of the three points alluded to above is
thus referred to :
" The marriage of Prince Napoleon is certainly calcu-
lated to draw still closer the bonds of political union. be-
tween France and Sardinia, and some persons may see in
this fact a distant menace for the maintenance of peace.
But why entertain such a fear ? What ground is there for
it ? The sympathy of France for Italy, and for Piedmont
in particular, is no secret ; it was shown in the Congress of
Paris, and is shared by other Powers. It is not only of
ancient date, but has acquired new vigour by recent con-
fraternity in arms. The Emperor of the French may con-
gratulate himself on seeing a prince of his race united to the
illustrious house of Savoy, and the natural alliance of the na-
tions thus cemented by a family union. But if we suppose
eventualities in which the situation of Piedmont might im-
pose duties on the French Government for the security of the
empire itself,theEmperorwould most certainlyfulfil the duties
commanded by national policy, and these would not be ren-
dered a whit more imperious by the union of the two
families."

The writer concludes in these terms :
"If,,contrary to all expectation, hostilities should arise,
the French Government would certainly not hesitate to
adopt the measures best calculated to protect the interests
of the country, but we are convinced beforehand that in
such an hypothesis it would not deviate in the least from
that rectitude and thoughtful prudence which it invariably
displays in all international relations. We must therefore
most earnestly deprecate the unfounded alarms arising from
the general situation of affairs and the supposed intentions
of the French Government; its policy during the last six
years has been one continued protest against such alarms,
and leaves no room to doubt of its firm resolution, under all
circumstances and at all times, to have justice and the pub-
lic opinion of Europe on its side." •
