FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,

FRANCE.
(From the Paris Papers of Thursday.)
The Temps says, " It is asserted, in certain well-informed
political circles, that Baron Bulow is in disgrace with his
Sovereign, the King of Prussia, for having signed the treaty
of July 15. His Majesty is stated to have said, that the
baron was authorised to sign in the absence of France, but
not without her knowledge."

" The Duke of Orleans," says the Commerce, takes an
active part in what is going on at the office of the Minister of
War, where he passes daily three or foie• hours, and where
he frequently meets M. Thiers, who does as much business
in the rue Saint Dominique as in the rue Neuve des Ca-
puei nes."

M. Guizot, according to the Univers, intends being in Paris
at the opening of the session, to take part in the debates
which must arise on the question of the east, and which will
lead to explanatioos of the positions in which M. Guizot and
M. Thiers stand with regard to each other.

The Minister of the -Marine has given orders to French
manufacturers for 14 steam engines of 450 horse-power each,
for the projected Transatlantic packets. Of this number four
are to be constructed at the royal forges of Indret, four by
M. Cave, of Paris, three by Messrs. Schneider, of Creuzot,
and three by M. flatlet, of Arras.

A Liege Paper mentions that Madame Veuve Cockerill has
renounced the community of rights of property that existed
between her and her late husband. On the demand of the
heirs, the court of Liege has prorogued for six months
the delay granted by the law for making out the list of the
property.
The Univers says it has received a letter from a well-in-
formed correspondent in London, announcing that all the
members of the House of Commons who disapprove of the
dangerous policy of Lord Palmerston, are about to sign a
protest against the alliance with Russia, and deprecating a
rupture with France. In the event of this policy being per-
sisted in, says the Univers, they will withdraw their support
from the Ministry, not only on the question of the east, but
on all other questions also. Lord Palmerston, says this
journal, persists, however, in his policy, and has declared to
a high personage that France will not venture to oppose him,
and that all 'her armaments and preparations for war, are
merely for the purpose of calming the warlike enthusiasm of
the country.

Some experiments with flying bridges and boats were made
a few days ago upon the Rhine, near Strasburg. In the first
instance a bridge of a new construction for the passage of
troops was thrown over in 20 minutes. Three flotillas of
boats, supported by a gun-boat, were next brought forward,
in regular order, to represent the passage and debarkation of
troops. At the same time a flying-bride, capable of bear.
ing 300 men, came down the stream, and fixing its anchors
in the middle, by the mere force of the current expanded its
arms, and in three minutes reached from hank to bank.
The next experiment was with a bridge of boats, which, in
an hour and a half, would enable an army to cross a wide
river. ,The last experiment was an attempt to pass under
the bridge in very small and slight boats, so as to defy the
power of the current. Several men, after having directed
their course to the bridge, lay down in the boats, and passed
rapidly and safely under the bridge.
