The Republican journals whose opinions as disin-
terested spectators of the game now playing between
the President and Changarnier are perhaps more
worthy of trust than those either of Imperialists or
Bourbonists, all consider that Changarnier has
triumphed over the President. The National says—
" The triumph of General Changarnier is complete.
He replies to an affront by a provocation and a
bravado ; and he has the immense, the inappre-
ciable advantage of having right on his side. But
the whole matter is risible. We have so often
caused Europe to tremble, that it is not
out of the !way that we also give it a hearty
laugh or two—such at least appears to be the
opinion of the Tuileries and of the Elyse?. !"
The Pays one of the organs of the Elysee puts
the following "simple questions" :—" Is it true that
M. Changarnier did not punish any officer or soldier
for having uttered unconstitutional cries in the re-
views of Satory ? Is it true that he did not make any
report on the aubject to the Minister of War, his
chief ? If these questions be answered in the affir-
mative, can we consider as serious the attitude of
those who, gratuitously compromising M. Changar-
nier, desire to show in his name that the Government
has committed a crime in a toleration, the respon •
sibility of which can only fall on the general
in chief, who did not consider the cries called
either for a report or a punishment ? Is it
true that General Changarnier said on several oc-
casions to the chiefs of regiments in garrison at Paris
in 1849, and especially in a grand review in the
Champ de Mars, in the month of April,—' Gentle-
men, we must conquer demagogy by moral force as
well as by the force of arms. Cry all of you, and
make your men cry, Viva Napoleon ! Not a word
for the Republic. Let ony one cry be uttered in the
ranks of the army—Five Nspoleon ! I invite you to
do this, and, if necessary, I order you!' "
Then alluding to the order of the day just pub-
lished it add—" It is difficult to us to conciliate this
order of the day with the invitations so pre§sing and
so'contrary, addres.,ed in 1849, as we have just said,
by the same General Changarnier to the chiefs of
corps of the army of PaHs."
The Astrolabe frigate has arrived at Toulon from
Buenos Ayres, having on board the officer who is the
bearer of the treaty concluded between Admiral Le-
predour and the Government of General Routs.

Advices from Cassel are of the 3d intt.

Large masses of Prussian troops have passed the
city of Cassel on their road to Fulda, where the
Bavarian troops had not yet arrived.
Almost all the Bevarian and Austrian forces take
the direction of Hanau. The most contradictory
rumours are afbat as to the conduct of the
Elector and his associates ; but all -these rumours
tally in that one respect, that neither the Elector nor
Hassenfflug know what is next to be done, and that
they see, although too late, the consequences of their
proceedings. It is quoted as ominous that the Ba-
varians and Austrians entered the Electorate on the
let November, the very day on which, 44 years ago,
Marshal Monier invaded the Electorate and expelled
the Elector, Frederick William I. It is stated that
all the arms and accoutrements of the Hessian soldiers
are being sold at Wilhelmsbad by the Elector and his
associates, who have 21together disbanded the army,
by giving the soldiers leave of absence en masse, so
that five men only remain of each company.
A Vienna letter of the 31st ult., in the Kolner
Zeitung, states that the Emperor of Austria is thirst-
ing for great deeds of war and conquest. The Aus-
trian officers tell with a good deal of enthusiasm that
when Prince Charles of Prussia welcomed the Em-
peror on the occasion of his touching the Prussian
territories at Cosel, and on the Prince's saying " I am
happy to welcome your Majesty on Prussian
ground !" the Emperor was silent, but on leaving the
Prince he turned to his adjutants, and said, " Prussian
ground, indeed ! This Prince forgets that 110 years
ago one of his ancestors did homage to the German
Emperor of Hapsburg at this very place." And it is
further stated that the Emperor added—" Never
mind !—the time may come again !" It is certain
that the Austrian Generals think of re-conquering
Slit cis.
The same correspondent states that the armament
of the Austrians is in wretched condition. Their
army wants clothing and horses. Of the cavalry re-
giments only one in• four men is mounted.
The awarians at Hanau, in Electoral Hesse, caused
it to be notified by sound of drum, in the morning
of the 2d, that the inhabitants were to give up their
arms within twelve hours; hut, as this produced no
effect, it was ietimated in the afternoon that a delay
to the next day was granted; and at the same time
it was stated that those per“)ns who should not obey
would: be sent before a coure.martial. No measures
had been adopted with respect to prohibited meet-
ings. An ofricer of the Bavarian staff had taken the
command of the town.
