All of them, the exception of five or six, have the full complement of men fixed by the regulation, and may tly at any moment become ex- clusively machines of war. Supplies of ammunition have been made on the scale; the munimum for each piece being 500 , or 47,500 charges for the guns of 30 only. The sailors have on bard food for one hundred days, and large reserves of sions are in the storehouses at Kamiesch and in the pao ‘bere is no blinking the fact that in proportion a4 of England becomes more and more ating, the war increases in popularity with tbe French. The English army is openly spoken of with un d contempt; even the navy, it is predicted, will be found not to be the formidable affair it bas been thought to be, and the same want of scientific instruction so conspicuous among the officers ot the army, and in suca striking con— trast to the French, is said to be observable in the fleet. Of this there is no doubt, thas the French naval officer is a much more instructed person than his rival. He is not permitted to go to sea till at seventeen or eighteen years ot age he can pass @ scientific exemination of the most searcaing charac- ter, the very enumeration of which wouid utterly confound an English sailor, in whose service the youthful jcer is put afloat as early as twelve, and not later than fourteen of age, his only qualifications being that he can read snd write and spell and do the rule of three, after which be bas a midahipman’s and a lieutenant’s ex- smination to undergo, but chiefly on matters of practical reer which his early initiation afloat readily makes him fit for. But in book learn- ing, in the is necessarily very inferior to the Frenchman, and it remains to be seen which system is the best. At first, when the war broke out, a great disposition was manifested to argue that the French were being made tools of by the English; but of this we hear nothin, On the contrary, I find in many circles anything but friend'y tothe new regine, an expression of faith in the Emperor’s sagacity, which must be very flattering to him. It is thought tnat, come what may—whether legitimist, Orelanist or republican hold the seat of authority ultimatels—- that the beur of France’s regeneration has arrived, and that Englaud will fall in provortion to the rise of ber ancient rival. It is said that her weakness —alike parliamentary and military—is being mani- fested to all the nations of tae earth who have tooked upon her er hitherto with dread pe Ee tre i ek struggle, nugatory as i! 3 & mol blot on her egcutcheon, which every one of her be quick to see—that one after the other will rise to off the yoke— ‘that Spain and Portugal, wno have a3 a buttress will henceforth only look to France—that intestine strife will follow as a naturai consequence; while France, guided by one single head, flushed with victory, and delighting in her young energy, will be ready wo stretch aa , across tbe channel, to save or to smite. ecively the same feeling at this moment seems to bited towards Kngland, which England eppears bers eg to have towards her present prime minister- she has been over appreciated ; and of all the journals, the only one found occasionally to break a lance in her favor isthe republican Siecle, which, oddly enough, is now trembling for existence in the ¢! of imperis! authority. For come time past it has been the only journal that dared to utter a word in favor of freedom, and this it did with such cleverness, that without strain- ing the law to ita extremoest tension, it was not easy for the authorities to interfere; and the compliments which from time to time made their appearance to | the English and their alliance, rendered it awkward ground for meddling. Bat the publication of a feu- vices. iy Eugene Sue, which was thought rather too for good morals, has oo the govern- ment an ae it has long been sighing for; and to mortification of all the con: cergierie of Paris, who are the most inveterate ad- mirers of Engene Sue, the story has been brought to an abrupt conclusion, and the Sric/e itself hae re ceived such an admonition as bas very seriously alarmed the proprietary. @ work of intense labor to keep that open mouthed machine—the press—at sli in the exact order de- sired.

But it appears that the Academy bas got into the babit of looking to litical rather than to literary celebrity, and there a talk of giving it a thorouzh haul over. Paris bas been greatly excited by the trial of a French governess of the name of Doudet, for the death of two children, daughters of an Englishman of the neme of Marsden, in consequence of {il usage ‘The trial lasted several days, and to the general re- i of society haa ended in her scqnittal.

On Sat- urdsy, before the arrival of the ex-President had become known at the American legation, a missive was received there from the Tuileries, inviting the successor of General Jackson to an interview at ¢ o'clock on the following morning. Messengers were at once despatched to various hotels, and to the hotel of Mr. Mason, but only an accident at length revealed the whereabouts of Mr. Van Buren at 10 o’clock on Bunday, Mr. Piatt having found him at the Hotel Wagram, hurried to the Tuileries to state the fact, and also that of the impossibility of dreesing the ex- President up in @ court costume at euch short notice. ‘Let him come, if he wishes, in his travelling dress,” said the Emperor, who, as I have frequently taken more pains than it is per- haps worth to mention, cares less for buttons and gold lace, where an American is concerned, than certain “‘sticklers for court costume” imagine. The two ex-Presidents (is not Napoleon III. also an ex- President of a republic?) be!d @ long interview; but what they said about the Eastern question, the rumored visit of an envoy of the Ozar to Washing: ton with an offer for the cession of the Russian ter- ritory in America to the United States, the return of Mr. Boulé, the resignation of Mr. Mason, the simoon of Know Nothingism, the revelatiansof Mr. Wikoff, and the American ball of the 22d—if so bé they talked of any or all of these topics—your ceponent, not knowing, can’t say. Mr. McLane, American Commissioner to China, has bad several interviews with the Emperor, as well as with Mr. Drouyn de l’Huys, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but their attention is so fally absorbed by the Eastern, which threatons to become the European, war, that they have little time to think of the revolution in China, and his negotia- tiona do not promise to reach a speedy conclusion. Not even the Siecle consecrated a single line to the 24th of February, the date of the revolution of 1848. How many centuries have elapsed since it took place? Did it ever teke place? Or is it a myth, living only in the prose of Lamartine or the verse of Victor Hugo? But, at least, both the prove of the historian and the verse of the post will be immortal.
