Foreign PoLIcv OF THE FRENCH PRESIDENT
The Paris correspondent OF the DAILY NetoS, alter
noticing the intended removal of Louis Napoleon
TO the Tuilcries, proceeds to say: "Perhaps Louis
Napoleon will not deem this incident In the En-
peror's career the least worthy ofimitation In the
meantime, there is but too much reason to believe
that those rumors which imputed to the President
designs of foreign aggrandizement are not alto
gether unfounded. am aware that in England a
deal of scepticism is expressed upon this point.
But am bound TO mould my communications up
facts which ! receive from good authentic
sources, without paying the least attention to the
degree OF probability which may be attached to
such views on the other side OF the channel. And,
first OF all, let me call your attention to most re-
markable expression which appears in the Aion'-
teir, and which has evidently not been put there
for nothing. In the preamble Of the decree deslg-
mating the military division, it is said, with
regard to the lmts fthe 9th division, whose head
quarters at Strasbourg, 'The sixth division Is
that OF Strasbourg, destined by ia form and posi-
ton not to change, so long as The frontiers them
sfices do not change" The words In italics are
noted by every one as pregnant with meaning, and
may be like the cloud about the size OF a mans
hand, which oyerspread the heavens with tcmpcsts.
In connection with this subject, ths following
mark ia reported to me ms having recently dropped
from Louis Napoeon: "'The Emperor" no ia re-
prescntcd to have said, "has bequeathed to me
debt TO France, the province OF the Rhine. will

who went on, up to the last hour before the coup
deat protesting his respect for the law, and his re
gous regard for his oath il is clear that whatever
representations may be made to Prussia and Rus,
STA Of Louis Napoleons desire to cultivate peaceful
relations with all the world, those powers viii not
fail to arm, and put their ornaments upon war
footing. Ii is possible that Austria, on whom the
Russian alliance has weighed SO heavily, may be
attracted by promises from France to shit the bur
den of her support from the shoulders OF the Car
to those Of Louis Napoleon, particularly ns the
view Of the Cabinet of Vienna is to weaken Prus-
sia, and prevent her eiiectually from aspiring to
the first place in the German confederation.
France is at present the chief obstacle to Austria
in Italy, and, by favoring or even countcnancing
her designs upon the legations and Piedmont,
might purchase her agreement to the separation
of the Rhine province from Prussia. Prussia also
has views upon Baden and Switzerland whic
might make her not unwilling TO exchange an I'M

RETIREMENT OF LORD PALMERsToN.-Thc Paris
correspondent of the London Morning Chronicle
writes: The universal opinion here is that Lord
Palmerston's disgrace Is the consequence OF the
disapprova in high quarters of the absolute and
complete appreciation given by Lord Palmerston to
the coup d'etat OF the I'd December 1t ia said that
anxious his lordship not to lose time in init
mating that appreciation to the President OF the re-
public himself, that Immediately after the recep-
ton, the I'd December, OF the news OF tine disso-
pie, he sent clerk from the Foreign office for the
express purpose Of communicating his approval Of
Louis Napoeon's conduct. The consequence is
that the whole OF the Constutionalists, the Libe-
rails, the Moderate Republicans, and the party which
still adheres to the fallen fortunes Of the house OF
Orleans. are delighted with the forced retirement
Of the noble lord, and look upon it as testimony
on the part of the English government OF its sym
pathy for those constitutional institutions which
France enjoyed under the dynasty Of July, but OF
which she Is now deprived. The friends OF the
President Of the republic greatly annoyed at
the change, and look upon it as the inauguration
OF now line Of policy on the part of England, and
of better understanding between her govern
ment and the northern powers"

Italian courtier being more congenial TO his ma

you further specimens of semi official invcctiye-
the Correspondents, an organ OF government con-
tanning article on the subject sufficiently e1-

in common with other of the daily Journals purely
attributes the change in Downing street to the in

out that Lord Granvilles policy will be OF nature
TO re-estsblish the cordial understanding with Eng

SO that henceforth the name OF the great English
nation may no longer be coupled with that OF de
