NJ he gEru
rntions for his Departure-The New Regency.
From the Paris Correspondent OF the London Eco
PARIS, February q, 1850.
The Emperors project of going to the Crlmea Is
now openly avowed, though it has not been an
nouneed officially by the Monteur. All his ordinary
councillors have represented him the dangers ami
Improperly of such undertaking, and he does not
himself overlook them but he has given orders to
prepare everything for his departure, waiting for
the next report from the Crimea before taking
decisive resolution.
It is reported that Lord Palmerston has sent note
to the English ambassador who has made represen-
tatons in tho of gland declaring that in the
absence of the French monarch it was impossible to
open the conference al Vienna, and then Lord John
Russel's mission would have 10 be postponed
| Gen. Mel the same who commanded at the taking
OF Bomarsund, and was sent to Sebasopo IN order to
survey the state of things and make report 10 the
Emperor has arrived in Paris, and received on
! Monday last at the Tuieries. His account is far
from favorable, and it may urge the Emperor to de,
part. The general health OF the army was indeed
| improving, but there were symptoms of nsnbordina
! ton and discomfort among them.
When the Imperial Guard arrived at the camp
they were to take several of the positions which
were occupied by the Zouaves. But this corps mutt
MED, and declared that they would not abandon
them that they a choice troop, and would not
suffer themselves to be superseded by regiment who
had Just come, and had taken part in the past
trials and dangers of the siege 1t the cause OF
the sedon which was reported by telegraphic des-
patches, and in spite of the Moniteur contradlctlng
these reports, quite true that about ten Zouaves
were condemned to be shot, and certain number
were sent to AgeFs
Besides there are general complaints that there is
jealousy between the commanding generals Canrober
and Bosquet, and want OF unity IN the plans OF
Lord Ra CLAN and General Canrobeft.
The Emperor thinks that his presence is IN
disDensable to give q direction to The operations of
the war; AID 10 inspire the army with enthusiasm at
he decisive moment OF the general assault on the
fortress
! An 1idde-camp departed Saturday last for Mar
selles 10 prepare the steamer which is 10 take the
Emperor and the troops who accompany him. 5000
soldiers Of the Imperial Guards have received two
DAYS ago Mimic rifles and they depart the 29lh
inst. The FmDer0r's departure, which was at first
fixed for the 22d instant, and afterwards for the
25th or Goth is put off to the 5th OF March.
Perhaps the advice which is given every day will at
list prevail upon him TO relinquish his project.
The Emperor intends to take with him Prince
Napoleon Bonapare, the son OF Jerome whose con-
duct since his return from the Crlmea has given him
great diSpleasure He recalled on account OF
his assumed i'll health, and since his arrival he was
every night at the balls and soirees, if to imply
that his health not the true motive for his return.
The Council of Regency has been appointed it
consists OF Count de Morny, VI. Tropong, and NJ
Baroche but ii will not be announced III the Noni-
teur They have only full powers to act in case OF
extraordinary events.
The Emperors departure is almost the only topic
of conversation IN all circles, aRd it has superseded
every other question. It seems however, that Prus
STA is at last inclined to sign tho separate treaty
which has been proposed by England and France.
FATE OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN-An additional

!. of the Franklin Expedition by an Esquimaux named

who has been for many years member of the Wes-

Dr. Rae has always considered this native highly eff

Such the wolds of Masttukwins narrative, as
detailed to the Rev. T. Hurlbu of Rossve Mission

cause the narrator is native Of the country, &C
qualnted with the language, and could have had III
