II is Whispered, also, in some circles, that by
q private understanding, M Dupin, the actual
favor Of General Changarnier, who will be i'm ne
diately named by the majority.
II is also said that Louis Napoleons intention is
to have no more commander In chief of the army
in Paris, and that the Minister of War would be,
himself, the only person who would have power to
give orders to the troops
L cannot be denied that the actual position of our
politics is very interesting, and, according TO my
opinion, the President, though well intenlioned n
his way OF acting, is working against himself No
doubt that the "Mountaineers are satisfied to

he will be gone, they will try TO have another
chance to take in hand the reins of the political
chariot.
large conspiracy is plotted by French and Italians
who are cxiled from their country. The intention
of the refugees Of London, was to land at Calais,
and to evoLutonze the departments of the north of
France. The refugees of Switzerland were to
enter France by the southern provinces at Lyon,
Marseilles, and Bordeaux. A warehouse of gun
powder, ammunition, and muskets, was organized
in the neighborhood Of Geneva and Fnburgh
This plot has been unveiled by the police of
Switzerland, and it was just in time for its explo.
sion was to take place on the first Of Jan, 1851.
The depreciation OF gold has been, for the last
month, the cause OF much gossip in commercial
circles. All the leading newspapers of Paris have
published their expectations of the question; but il
is certain that the cancellng Of that sort Of COIN
age will not be accepted by the government Silver
will only be considered legally as the monetary
medium of affairs, and gold will only be accepted
as small change. The gold coin would only be ac-
cepted IN trade at the sole value attributed to it by
the Bank Of France.
In Portugal, according to the last news, the
Chambers were to assemble on the oath ult., and
the intention OF the members of the opposition, at
the head of whom is Mr.. Jose Cabral, brother OF
the Count Of Thomar manifested the intention to
do all In their power to upset the ministry. From
another side, understand that Count of Thomar's
intention was to prorogate the Chamber, if they
were hostile to the government.
In Spain, the Duke of Valencia has played another
comedy with his colleagues, and understand that
he went to offer his resignation to Queen Isabella,
under the pretext that he had remarked that he
was not on good terms with the Queen Mother.
A ministerial crisis is also spoken of in Piedmont,
whers the government would join the deputies of
the extreme left. The quarrel between Rome and
Piedmont is said to be on the eve of settlement
AT Genoa, on the I'd inst, sort Of riot took
place between the troops and the people, occasoned
by quarrel of some beys with few soldiers, who
were drinking in wine shop. Several men have
been shot on both sides.
At Venice, on the 23d ult., the Count and Count
ess of Chambord had arrived and taken their resi-
denee in their palace, on the grand canal. The
Duchess Of Manner, the Duchess of Berry, and
the Prince and Princess Don Juan, Of Spain, were
also under the same roof. The Count of Monte
malin and his wife, sister to the King Of Naples,
were expected at the end of December. 1t appears
that Count of Chambord is very popular among the
citizens OF the Adriauc city.
The affairs IN Germany are elways of very
confuse character AT Dresden the conferences
have begun, and though nothing like solution
has yet issued out of that political n,broglio it is
not difficult to perceive at what Polmt de will be
treated the affairs by the commissioners of Austria
and Prussia. Much will be said relative to the
interest taken in the need Of the people, of the or
der, and of the freedom. Many promises will be
made to the small States, who will expect large
part OF influence in the federatiye power but the
Of the situation, and Messrs de Sehartzenberg and
ManteuHel will give for password War to all re-
voutOAs As for the details of the affairs the orQa-
nizasion which will prevail will be the establish
ment OF an executive power, Ausro- Prusaian, re.
siding at Frankfort -on-the- and also that of
federal council Of the German governments,
which would be founded in city of Elb
IL has been resolved, also, that the Austrian

In the Dutchies, and II is quite remarkable to see
that since 1851, when the Field Marshal Tilley took
possession Of the fortress OF Magdbourg, no Aus
TRAN troops had appeared in these quarters. This
consent OF Prussia has created an imme nse sensa-
uon in the northern part of Germany.
An interview between the king Of Prussia, and
the emperor OF Austria Is said TO be certain, and
II would take place at Dresden; an exchange Of
core sPond ence has already taken fiaec on this
subject.
The Chambers opened at Berlin, on the Sd inst.
end though it had been anticipated that they
would again be prorogated, they are proceeding in
quiet way.
In the Duchies every thing leads to. believe that
that the affairs will be settled before long. The
members of the Lieute nantces of Schles Wig Hol-

Prussian commissioner had joined them
