As have told YOU matters yesterday reached the
extreme point. The French Government were iaiormed
that the responsibility of So terrible Calamity as a
general war would fall upon them alone In spite OF
he ciyilies courteses and coqueting going on for
some time past between ST. Petersburg ana Farls II
was shown that when the critical moment came the
French Government would not have the support OF
svmpsthy of any one Government IN Europe, except,
Isnpnose Piedmont: and Russia, Notwithstanding her
resentment against Austria showed symptoms las am
assured of wish to stand well with old dynasties and
old friends and little real inclination towards war
which sooner or later must become revolutionary.
But the scene, it appears, has changed and hope
smiles once more The French Government are said
IN have seen the dangerous course they were fastening
ON. But, whatever be the cause-whether the pros
meet of the unanimous condemnation OF all Europe, the
certainty ofthe condemnation of France the sonndness
Of the reasons and arguments Of her allies or all these
things together am given Ia understand that we have
al last got into smooth water. 1 presume that inc
French Government have agreed oa general disarma-
ment including Of course that OF Piedmont previous
TO the Congress- as am told that the Congress VIII
meet about the time already mentioned, and that the
oniieur will soon announce the fact No one VIII re-
| ioice more heartily at this than the French people
themselves; and NJ Walewski and one or two OF his
| colleagues will exult as much any one.
The Journald de- Cher5ourg announces that the Mari
time Project at that port has received orders to arm as
quickly as possible the following nine gunboatS;-Al-
frette Eulminante, Arquebuse, Lance, Pouire, Re-
donte Saint Barbe Save, and Template. After being
armed they are to be dispatched to Toulon with re-
| duced complement of seamen. They are to form
Hotilla under the Of the First DIVISION OF Gun
