SIGNIFICANT News fEoM FRANCE. There
is surely enough to excite political sprrl,-
latinn III the successive paragraphs of
news which tho cable has brought from
iarls dlrlnS the past week, says the New
York Times. The inliStinct reports, of thc
illness of the French Emperor were fol
lowed by the unexpected intelligence that
his Foreign Secretary had resigned and
that his portfolio had bccn transferred To
man comparatively unknown in the ont
side political world. I.nokcrs-ou have
barely had time TO give a moments rcAcc-
ton To these reports, when they are sur
priScd (many will be bcwlldcrcU by the
news of Lord Cowlcy's retirement from the
british Embassy at Paris. And these
events are reported simultaneously with
the assurances that the paciica ton OF iIu-
rope IS an accomplished fact. Why sho.lld
the EmprrOrS sickness and the dismissal!
ol ms (hIthcrto) most trusted Minister be
named III such Immediate connection? And
what have been tn" relations of VI. Drown
dc Illuys and Lord Cowlcy To each other
mat the resignation OF lLu former shou!d
nt' followed by the retirement of tlc latter?
These, and II multitude Of other spccula-
ions, must grow ont OF the mere mention
or such facts. Have Prussia and England
had too cioS0 an understanding in the dis
position OF the German question? Has the
retired French Foreign Minister welded
too much to the rival diplomatists? Are
tn" English Tories preparing to revive an
old continental ALLIANCE? And is the report
OF The illnoss OF the Emperor part of the
prologue to the new drama which is to
bo played in Europe?
Such reports, and the facts on which
they arc based, will naturally excite the
public mind Of Europe to an unusual de-
gree, and attempted explanations by Off
cal or semi-oilicial journals will fail, for
the timo at least, to allay anxiety.
