TOULON, SEPT. 28, P.M. " his Highness leaves Toulon to-morrow morning to proceed to Aix. The Prince has assisted at a ball offered to him by the city. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm with which he was received at his arrival and at his departure. The rooms resounded constantly with cries of Vive l'Empereurr " The French Government has received a dispatch from Brussels, announcing that the Belgian Ministry had resigned, and that the Chambers were prorogued until the 25th of October. This event is regarded as an immense victory by the French Ministers.  An article of the Pays will find a responsive feeling in every well-disposed mind, as it is impossible not to utterly reprobate the violent language used against the Head of the French nation in some of the foreign journals. The Pays expresses itself on the subject as follows :  " Assuredly the odious crime cannot be ascribed to any of the old parties who divided France. All these parties, it must be said to their honour, have been horrified at it. Some wretched remnants of the secret societies in which a social re-organization prepared by pillage and murder, yielding, perhaps, to the interested suggestions of the men who feel despair at seeing the happiness of France—such, no doubt, will be the only elements which the hand of justice will find in the investigation of the baffled plot. Who, however, dare affirm that certain pamphlets—some of them composed abroad by writers calling themselves Frenchmen— that certain journals published in neighbouring countries, have been without influence on the minds of the conspirators of Merseillea? Are the authors of a manifesto published a few days ago in a Belgian journal, and which contained these sanguinary words, Citizens, men, do not discuss, do not vote against, crime— they strke it 1' free from all participation in the crime? The journal which decorates itself with the title of La Nation Beige exceeds all the others in violence. After having shamefully outraged the French people, the clergy, the magistracy, and the army, it does not shrink from a direct provocation to assassination. Here are some textual quotations from that journal:—' At Bourges and Nevers, the peasants who were brought in were so drunk that they did not know what they cried. It is alleged that in their drunkenness they even forgot th.y 1-nne6 or LAI,. yelleO " ViveUt lea Rouges !" instead of " Vive l'Empereur;" All honest people were disgusted at the ignoble spectacle.' On the 15th September, the .Nation Beige published, besides, the following lines, which one would think traced with the point of the knife of Ravaillac:— We are all mutually responsible for humanity; and on that account vie cordially thank all men of generous heart who devote themselves to unmasking and striking despots wherever they may appear. Despots are the common enemy whom we are proud to combat by their side; and we are well convinced that they will not disarm until the whole world shall be purged from the race of oppressors. Happy shall we be if a single voice responds to this appeal.' On the 24th September, the same journal publishes a long piece of verse, which concluded with these lines:—  ' En regardcrtt passer Noir et sa fortune, La France clans ses mains sent fromir le poignard!' No one is ignorant of the grave difficulties which arise for Governments from the liberty of the press; but at no period has liberty, even the most extreme, been confounded with the excesses, the orgies of license. There are, in such a matter, bounds which the most vulgar morality, the 'most elementary notions of international law do not permit to be disregarded. Is it enough for a man to be the elect of a great people for him to be placed out of the pale of humanity? Is it for having saved Europe from menacing anarchy that he should be exposed to the most odious, the most revolting provocations?"
