FRENCH GossP.-The Paris correspondent of the
Journal Of Commerce, under date of March "a,
speaking of the late review, says:
The Prince Napoleon, he emerged on horse
back from the Palais Royal in generals uniform
to JOIN the Emperors suite, made the object of
an ovation such as he is by no means used to- The
demonstration seemed to point to his late secession
from the Cabinet, and the supposed to have
LED to IT, and there were few cries of Viuc Ptalie
The object appeared to be to prove that he and the
cause be Is presumed to represent are popular with
the masses He and his father, Prince Jerome rode
on each side OF the Emperor, and appeared to be in
high favor. Louis Napoleon himself, too seemed on
this occasion to court the cries of the people or at
least to desire to give them opportunity of dis
playing their feelings towards himself and his re-
cent acts When quitting the field after the review
ne suddenly gave orders to withdraw the sentinels
and allow the crowd to come close up to him, as he
rode at the head of his Etat-Maor. He was in fact
in advance of his staff and the Cent gardes so that
in one moment his horse surrounded on every
side by the eager multitude. He literally rode
among the pillows of the crowd. The movement
was popular and artful, and as Soaps and blowses
predominated, he loudly cheered but it was
noticed that as he drew nearer the Champs Elvsees
and came amongst the "black coats" the enthusi-
asm sunk almost to zero
have this moment received the following COM
muncation from correspondent at Nice:
"The whole town here is en- emoi at the calling
out of the reserve. AL the men up to SO years old
are includedinit. public subscription has been
set on foot to maintain their families during their
absence. This morning, too, office has been
opened for raising fresh corps of volunteers. The
most intense excitement prevails"
Such is the condition of Sardinia; now listen to
an ''allegoryI'
When Louis Napoleon first entered the Tuleries
as Emperor, he found there three clocks, one of
which, when it struck, said 'Moscow"- another
.sSchOnbrun"-an the third ''Waterloo"-
Ever since Sebastopol was taken the first
clock has ceased to strike But Just now
'Schonbrun" is ringing furiously, while water
loo" only, as yet, tinkles family in the dis
lance!
There is many true word spoken in lest and
many an allegory that proved to be in earnest. If
''Schonbrun" be always ringing in the ears of
the French Emperor, Austria had better keep her
eyes open on the Sandman frontier, even while
the Congress is "talking peace at AK aChapelle"
IMPROVEMENTS IN CANNoN.-The New York Post,
in an article under this caption after speaking of
the Napoleon and Armstrong guns, says:
The Dahlgreen gun has heretofore maintained
supremacy-an American invention. Another is
ready to enter into the competition with Napoleon
and Armstrong. A wealthy gentleman of our city,
officer in one of our crack city regiments has
been laborng for the last three years in the same
field with the English and French inventors with
out any knowledge of what they were doing.
He has expended an enormous punt of money,
and his efforts have been crowned with success
his operations have been carried on quietly, fearing
the ridicule that mi ht attend failure. Hi has
produced cannon which, after repeated expert
ments, has performed all and more than has been
and French.
The gun, is half the size halft the length and less
than one-thrd the weight, of those in present use
will perform more efficient service. 1t does not
heat so auckland when heated will cool ouicker
1t has been found almost an impossibility to explode
it, 1t will enable the artillery service to be more
e1ectual at halt the present cOst-reducng the
number OF men and horses fifty per cent-wth, of
course, aproportionate reduction in expense.

made public either his invention or his name in
connection with it. We have seen the guns-sey-
eral OF them-and beautiful articles they are
rifed and smooth bore, made of an entirely new
combination of materials, unequaled for durability
and strength.
The public, will soon have chance to view the
cannon, and witness public tests ofts efficiency and
power.
