Paris is teemng with pamphlets about the war;
The last pamphlet the subject is from the pen of
the celebrated NJ. de Girardin. La Guerre shows
that mere war in Italy, to place the King of Sar-
dinia at the head of conederated Italy by the arms
OF France would never dot would be a patry
war. GLOW would you settle Italy, he asks his
countrymen, ''when you have driven out the Ger
mans? Would you keep up the reigning Princes
w oud you place the Pope at the head of a Confed-
Grafton? But in both cases, you offend the liberal
party. who look on the Papacy as the inspiration
and the Princes as the tools of the Austrian Court.
And how would you compensate Austria in order
to reconcile her to cession of territory without
years of war? You could not give her the Princi-
paities, which you have just constituted a State;
could not give life to nationally by the de-
struction of another"
NJ. de Girardin Is in favor of a which will
avenge Waterloo, which will give to France her
lost frontiers, which will place Europe in equilib-
rum, which will put an end to the burdensome
charges OF an armed peace-a war which will cause
to succeed to rivalry-a war under
taken, not in the view of nationality, but of unity
a logical war, which may leave conquerors and con
quered, but not oppressors and Oppressed-a war
which will abolish the feudaty of the seas by the
neutrality of the Straits-a war in which force
should be at the service of deas;-in word let it
be the last convulsion ofthe Old World "exuirng
and giving place to the New World, announced by
the captive of st. Helena and the prisoner of Ham,
All this is to be effected by union of France and
Russia, and the result of the would be the par
tition of Europe into two Empires-that of the East
and West, as announced by NJ. de Persigny as far
back as 1884. This pamphlet, which has been met
with mingled ridicule and banter in England ap-
pears to have tickled the fancy of the Parisians
The French paper La PresSe has been 'noticed"
on account of an article ''on the hopes of italy,"
The gene al tenor of this article is said to be in
precisely the strain that La Presse has adopted for
the last six months 1t is also affirmed that the no.
uce has been given on the representation of the
Austrian Ambassador. The following passage may
be taken as an index to the tone of La Presse-
"ltaly does not rely on her own unaded efforts to
throw OIL the yoke of her oppressors; she invokes
the cooperation of generous nations Ought we
not to welcome with gratitude the opportunity of
putting term to the anxiety which torments Eu-
rope?" &c. 1t is said the Austrian Ambassador
threatened to demand his passports if some satisac-
tion were not given for these assertions and that,
consequently, in opposition to the opinion of Prince
Napoleon, and several members of the Council no.
tce was given. Military preparations have not in
any way abated The army of Lyons is ordered to
be put on war footing without delay.
1t is stated that Austria is by means inclined
for war, her preparations being purely defensive
and one journal adds that 900 guns of the heav-
lest calibre to be cast this year. The Austrian
journals have received instructions to moderate
their tone with regard to France. In Vienna great
dependency is said to prevail owing to the preva-
lent conviction that Louis Napoleon is determined
to quarrel with them, and that if one means fails
he will seek another. To strengthen her position
Austria is said to have concluded treaties with the
second rate German powers, such treaties to come
into operation in the event of the theatre of war
being removed from Italy. Prussia has now the
reputation of holding in her hand the KEY to the
future OF Europe and if, it is said, upon her de-
cisOn will rest the question of peace or war; there
can be little doubt that she will throw her influence
into the lap of Austria.
THE WAR MOVEMENT.
TURIN, Feb. 1.-THE Minister of Finance has
presented bill for suspending until further orders
the eXDOrt of fOraup and the M
Lombardy.
lie Nord states that on the 5th instant Count
BuOl addressed a circular despatch to the German
Courts in order to sound their intentions and to So
hct their cooperation in the event OF the Italian
question leading to hoslities, either with Sardin-
ia alone, with France alone, or with the two coun-
tries united. The Cabinet of Vienna does not ad.
dress itself to the Central Powers of the Confede-
ration, but appeals separately to each of the
secondary courts, beginning with Bavaria. 1t
takes this step behind the back of Prussia, which
was not applied to except non-oficially some days
after the other States. lie Nord, which has strong
anti-Austrian tendencies, SAYS that this proceeding
has produced painful impression at Berlin
The Prussan Gazette, the official journal of Ber-
lin, expresses the opinion that in consequence of
the serious exerionS of the great powers, the Prus
sian and English Governments will persist in the
efforts they have made to smooth down difficulties
removing just causes of complaint, and remaining
within the limits of treaties. The Cabinet of st
Petersburg will not it may be hoped, refuse to sup
pOrL JHe steps taken DN Prussia ana England. Ike
Gazette adds that the Austrian Cabinet is disposed
to enter into negotiations with France to put an
end to the military occupation of Central italy, and
certainly the advanre made by Austria will be re-
ceived in Paris in the same spirit of Cancellation
that has dictated them.
The Times correspondent states that there is rea
son to believe the entire army of Lyons is about tC
be placed on Il footing.
The Heroids correspondent states that camp o
lOO0 600 men is to be formed at Toulon by the end
March.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times in hi:
despatch dated the 18th inst, SAYS three or foul
days ago information was received from France
which removed all doubt to the intention of tn,
Emperor Napoleon, and it would not be surprisin,
suddenly to learn that the Austrian army is to bt
placed on a footing. The military organiza
tiOn is so excellent that $50 900 men can be full
prepared for action within month or six weeks
The same correspondent has been informed
from source puTpOrting to be authentic
that Russia is calling in her soldiers who were OF
furlough, and that Russian forces are marchin.

The Barvarian Minister of War has sent orders t,
the various commanders of troops to adOpt the ne
cessary measures for placing the army on the foot

popular excitement in Bavaria is as great as il
any part of Germany.

From France, indeed from most parts of the
Continent the intelligence by this arrival ofa ma

PARIS, Saturday, Feb. II, 1859.
NJ. DE PREFET: The speech delivered by the En-
peror on opening the Legislative Chambers has b.,
come the subject of very contradictory comments
the result of which is to agitate and unsettle th
public mind. This is an evil which must be rene
died. The policy of the Emperor is as definite as i
is elevated, immovably established as he has said
in the path OF right, justice and national power, i
is never provocative, but will never be pusillani
nous. 1t Is ready to manifest itself wherever thu
ause justice and civilization is to be assisted
1t is important, Nj. lie Prevet, that the journal
published in your department should also be in
spired with this noble sentiment: and, that ther
should say to the population-for this is tn
thought of the Emperor-that war without lie
gitimate motive is impossible, but that if the pre-
servatOn of his honor demands tiff one of thos,
causes should arise to which France is at all time
passonately attached-the Government will no
retreat from the idea of war; for war would thei
be a necessity. Let the papers say and saw agair
that towards whatever result the will of the En-
peror may lead it, it is the duty of the nation
which has often received the benefit of his wis
dom, and which he has made so great, to follow
without hesitation.
A danger greater than any that can be incurre
by is that the spirit of the nation NAV becom
careless of all but material interests, and forge
the traditions of honor and patriotism.
In this spirit the editors of journals should write
If it is not in the power of the Press to raise it
| language to the tone adopted by the Emperor
| which has made itself heard throughout Europe,
can at least abstain from weak eninu the effect {
this Interpretation by accusing him off egotism 0
| pusillanimity.

warning.
| Whatever may be the contradiction between tn
| significance of the circular and that of the war;

the activity with which the French Government
pursues its military preparations. We are now tol
! that the ''army of Lyons" which has already bee
strengthened by the arrival Of the greater porto
| of General Renaud's division from Africa, has bee
fully supplied with field equipments; and there is
| rumor, which is at least exaggerated that 100 0C
men to assemble at Toulon in March.
| The Paris correspondent of the Times writing G
| Thursday evening, says "The movement of trooT
continues very actively at Marseilles. Detachmen
| of the 23d and Goth Regiments of Infantry arrive
there on Tuesday last, and were Immediately TO
warded to Lyons. There is reason to believe thu
the entire army of Lyons is about to be placed O
