hitherto refrained in somewhat marked man
ner from expressing its views relative to the
late changes in the Constitution, published on
January rs long article, signed by M. Gueroult,
commenting on the vigorous measures of re
foTm proposed. The series of observations in
question present this popularity. that while all

of the Emperor, for both his acts and his in
tentioDs.
The Emperor Napoleons reform letter sug.
Rests the following reflections to the Turin
Gazette:-"The constitutional reforms in France
appear of nature to satisfy the most eXactlng,
and to answer to the desires OF the most ardent
liberals OF that nation. 1t may be said that the
Constitution of the empire has made great
step towards the tranquil plains of the broadest
liberty As to us Italians, we ought to rejoice
heartily at the sight of the edidce, erected and
crowned by the one and genuine ally whom
Italy has ever had, settling down on the solid
foundations on which our own constitutional
hbertles repose. These are foundations which
the, reactions will always be powerless to
shake"
We read in La France of January 26:-"A
recent article in the Florence Gazette, repub-
lished by several Turin journals, asserted that
French emissaries were busy in the neighbor-
hood of Aosta making propaganda in favor of

is in position to declare in the most explicit
manner that this statement is destitute of foun-
dation."

The London Mor7,inq Post of the 26th makes
the announcement--alluded to in our cable re-
port-that the long pending differences between
Hungary and the Court OF Vienna have been
satisfactorily adjusted. separate Hungarian
Ministry has been conceded, and the nomina-
ton of its members is almost complete.
The London Post of the 25th of January,
speaking of Napoleon's more recent policy,
AN TtI,npn finNNd and hun nj
policy do not prove that France contemplates
war, but they clearly demonstrate that, in the
opinion of her ruler, the contingency of war is
possible, if not probable, and that in such an
event France must not be found In the same
unprepared state in which she stood last year.
In word Napoleon III does not believe that
the treaty OF Prague was final: nor that the pre-

The Tribunal de Commerce of the Seine,
France has registered a decision in a case
somewhat similar to that of Glover VS.. Perslgny,
tried some years since in London in connection
with Napoleons subsidizing an English news
paper. 1t appears that in 1868, when all the
French journals were ATTACKING Russia with
reference to the Polish question, M. Tohitche-
rine, gentleman attached to the Russian
embassy in Paris, took steps to subsidize the
Nation, in order that it might put correct
views" of Russo-Polish affairs before the Pari-
sian public. Since that time the NdtlOn has come

taken advantage of an agreement entered into
by M. Tchitcherine to sue him for portion Of
the debts of the establishment, which, it seems
his agreement bound him TO sustain.
The Tribunal de Commerce has decided
against the Russian employe, Notwithstanding
the privileges of an embassy, on the ground
that he entered into partnership in a CONNER
cial speculation. 1t is still possible that his
privilege may secure him from arrest; but il
seems likely that the Russian Government viii
have to pay a considerable sum in excess o
what they already have disbursed.
