LONDON, Friday April 6, 1855.
On the 10th inst, Napoleon is expected at
Windsor. The programme Of bic stay is not yet
fixed. There are some apprehsssions that French
or Italian refugees may endsDger his personal
safety, and probably no public demonstration will
greet him in England. The visit is to be visit
to the Queen, not to the people His time will
be spent principally inside of Buckingham Palace,
Windsor Castle and Osborne House. No review,
no great procession is to take place; at least such
l. now the detern alton OF the Ministers. The
visit has q most important political aim. The
bad news from the Crimes, the in:apscity Of
the Generals, the inactivity OF the armies,
the successful operations Of the Russi<ns,
who now are investing the Turks at Eupatoria
and the Anglo-French armies on the Heraclsstc
Cheronese, could not fail to shake Louis Nspo-
Icons prestige In France. 1t became important
for him to give different direction TO these idess,
and to turn public attention to q different q Iar
ter. Hence bis feigned intention to visit the
Crimea. He seems to have studied the conduct
of the Emperor Tiberus, az described BY Tacitus
in the 47th chapter of Book Of his Annals. Tue
Roman Emperor, when bis distant armies were
dissatisfied, and ON the verge of mutiOy, resolved
that Rome should no longer be the "Csput
"rerum"-the capital Of the worid-as Paris Is
now called by the French. STILL as II on the eve
Of proceeding, he selected his followers prepared
for the journey, and had the ships put In readi
ness, and thus he deceived first the wise m,n,
then the people, ADD loDges. OF all the provinces.
But the Crimesn journey having become stale
trip 10 England Is to gil up the time Of ioscton.
The people of France must have something to
talk and TO speculate upon, les. the news from
the seat of war should eDgrOss ali their thoughts.
visit to Vienna may soon follow the visit TO
England, and then comes the Great Exhibition,
with all the coucomi..nt hustle of foreigners and
revival of business. Still 1t is more thaa prob
able that the Exhibition will fall much below che
expectations of France, and that the failure Will
seriously react on Politics, As 10 cue V'eoaa
Conference all hopes Of peace are rapidly
fading. 1t has been ascertaine3 that even
the Second Point the freedom of the Danube, 10
not yet finally settled. Russia refuses - di,.rm
the fortress Of ReDi, which commands the head
Of the Danube Delta and the counter PROPOSE
ton of forming q great Turkish fortress a. Ga
latch entails such expenditure on Turkey, that
the Turkish Pieniposeusary seriously objects to
IL. As TO the Third Point Russia has most deci-
dedly refused to transform SeyasOpo into q
commercial hsrbor, but proposes the erection OF
an English and Of French fortress on the
Asstic Turkish shores of the Black Sea-in fact,
a spoliatiOn OF Turkey. Ths Conferences have
adjourned until new Instructions arrive fro n St.
Petersburg; and, in the meantime, Dfouyn de
lHuyshu gone to Vienna 10 order either 10 settle
matters at once, or 10 break up the Conferences.
by the end of n5xt week the question OF peace
or the extension Of the war mus: be decided.
Lord Psnmure, by an act Of official folly has
disOrgaDized several Of the militis regiments.
| hder the Act Of 1852, the mihtamea enlisted
ONLY for 80 days in the year; by the new Dill Of
ga. the service was 10 last until the end Of the
war, bu, the bill contained no provision ss re-
CARDS those who enlisted previous 70 1854. No
{ iffererce wss made between .ne former sod the
lstrsr-the regiments were kept together, aud
had very Iespec table military appearance,
though many OIL TIE uisn were uLocfsAro- cao'
as Do eboesvors were made to induce tne original
miliii.men - re-attest under the DeS Act and
wages began 10 rise with TIE spring Ia toe agrl-
cultural districts, some Of the regiments became
dir atifed and complained that faith had not
been kept with them. and that they had served
for longer period than originally agreed upon.
Lord Psomure, in the belief that only very few
would taSe advantage of an opportunity n free
themselves from service, sckno Gedged the jas
rice of their complaint, and offered one pound
bounty TO oil those who nigh. reen let. The
men thought the bounty sh.bby, and nearly half
Of their original number di.b sLded. Thus tue
force of the regiments is together disorssnized,
much 10 the annoy aDce Of the officers. The gar
rison Of Plymouth for instance, was In one day
diminished by two-thirds. The Opposition will,
of course, take advantage Of Lord Pa7mure's
blunder.
