It is highly approved of by the public and the papers generally. The opinion seems to gain ground that an army of observation will be stationed in the depart- ments near the northeastern: frontier. Thirty thousand men ere spoken of for the Moselle alone, to be enabiéd to meet any emergency that may arise. At the last councilof Ministers, on the despatehes from Germany, it wae unanimously decided’ that the Ministers of Franee, at the courts ef Vienna and Berlin, should be instructed to announce the although France wishes to obsezve the strictes neutrality on the disputes of other States; she could not but regard a war between Austria and Prussia as a European affair; and the French Ministers are desired to remonstate, with all the weight of their official position, against the right of Austria and Prussia to open the way to com- vulsion in Europe, for interests whichrare either personal or too slight not to make it incumbent on them to offer mutual concessions. The proceedings in the Assembly were unim~ portant. The minority are very well disposed jeg ee Mogi gn and the meseage has greatly the epposition.

He pro- fesee obedience to the law ard- the constitu- tion of France. The industry of the country is in- vested in trade and manufactures, and ite content- edness was implied in the abseuce cf any signifi- cant agitation.

THE CATHOLIC MOVEMENT IN ENGLAND — THE STATE OF TRADE—sPRECH OF THE HON. apBorTrT LAWRENCE. M. Disraeli has published a manifesto accusing the whigs of countenancing in [reland, the policy on the part of Rome, which they now find it-con- venient to denounce. In England one of the new Catholic Bishops, in a pastoral charge, goes farther than this, and states broadly that the new hier- archy was arranged with the express sancuon of the government; and Cardiual Wiseman, who has arrived in London, is also said to have declared thatthe whole scheme was submitted to be approved by the cabinet some tine ago. The no-popery ery never assumed, it is said, any approach to ita present vehemence, though the excitem *nt appears confined almost exciusively to the middie classes The board of wade returns for the momh of October, show a considerable increase ia the matter of export, as compared with the two p evious years, especially in cotton, linnen, woollem, aad sulk It is proposed toapply to Parliament, at the ap proaching session, to introduce clauses into the Li- verpoo!
