600 million francs is spoken of, and it is
said that the Emperor contemplates rais-
ing a new levce of two hundred thousand

Lord Palmerson's visit to Paris serve as
an index to the approhensions entertained
by the English and French governments
as to the magnitude of the crisis. His
lordship's visit is said to have been under
taken in opposition to the views Of Lord
Aberdeen and other members Of the cabi-
net, which confirms the information as to
the probability of an immediate change in
the English Ministry.

murderous fire. Ia moment, the Russians
dashed against this division. which had to fall
back before superior force, nevertheless, Gen.
Leprcndz, who had perceived the movements
of the French believing that general attack
was made by the allies, at once detached part
of the force of his corps against the English
force, for the purpose of effecting a diyision.--
Prince Menchikof, On his side brought to
Leprendz's aid all the cavalry he could com
mand. Then there occurred a most obstinate
and sanguinary struggle, which was prolonged

it demands the most pointed atteption.
